Chapter 234: Maybe a Little Stronger Than You
"Alright, actually, I'm from twenty years in the future. I was caught in a huge Chakra surge while passing through the Land of Wind desert, and then I ended up here."
Naruto spread his hands to show he meant no harm, and continued, "As for the Rasengan, the future you taught it to me."
Seeing that they didn't interrupt, Naruto took out the Kunai that Minato had given him: "Also, this should be the Flying Thunder God mark you sensed earlier, you gave it to me too."
"I see." Minato, Choza, and Shibi nodded, slightly lowering their guard.
"You just believe that?" Naruto said, unable to understand their thinking.
In a sense, this explanation was even more absurd than the previous one, but Minato and the others believed it because their mission was related to this.
"I can't explain it to you in detail, but we are currently looking for someone from the future."
Naruto pointed to himself.
Minato shook his head and said, "Not you. That man is called Mukade. He came here from the future using the power of the Dragon Vein. To be precise, he came six years ago.
Now it seems that you were affected when he activated his Ninjutsu, except he arrived six years ago and has been hiding until now, while you just arrived."
"I see, I was chasing an enemy in the air at the time and didn't notice the situation below, so as long as I take care of him, the caster, I can go back, right? Since it's related to your mission, how about we cooperate?"
"That should be right. As for cooperation, our mission is very dangerous."
"It doesn't matter, when it comes to strength, I might be a little stronger than you." Naruto raised his hand, leaving a small gap between his thumb and forefinger.
Minato smiled and said, "Very confident."
"Of course, you should be able to sense this much Chakra, and I've learned almost all of your and Big Brother's Ninjutsu, so no problem." Naruto handed his Flying Thunder God Kunai to him, "Here."
"I see..." Minato took the Kunai, his eyes suddenly softening. This age, this appearance, this amount of Chakra, the same Ninjutsu as me, and from twenty years in the future, then his identity should be...
"Then please take care of me, Namikaze Naruto?" Minato always felt that he wouldn't choose such an ordinary name.
"Just call me that for now, you'll find out anyway." Naruto didn't think there was anything wrong, his name came from the Naruto swirl in ramen.
"Yes, you'll find out." Minato casually ruffled Naruto's hair, "Let's go."
Naruto didn't dodge. The young version of Old Dad's head-patting technique seemed a bit rusty. Hmm, I'll have him practice with Kakashi more before we leave.
Choza was still a little hesitant: "Minato, is he..."
Minato smiled and said, "Just think of him as my long-lost younger brother."
Seeing Choza Akimichi's expression, Naruto chose to bribe him, took out a scroll, and pulled out a bag of snacks: "Here, snacks bought from the Fire Capital, originally intended to be given to a good friend from the Akimichi clan, but I haven't had time to find him yet, so I'll give you a bag first."
"Ah, snacks I've never seen before! From twenty years in the future? Great!" Choza happily took it, "Who is that friend of yours? I'll repay him double when I get back."
Shibi was meticulous and glanced at the production date, it really was from twenty years in the future.
"You'll know in the future." Naruto waved his hand, It's for your son anyway, no need to be polite.
"You're such a good person." Choza, with a happy face, gave Naruto a good person card.
...
Gu Xuan
Bang! Clatter!
Fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the crowd in the square erupted in cheers.
Minato gestured, and the four of them jumped onto nearby towers, observing in the shadows.
Naruto faintly heard voices mentioning "Your Majesty the Queen," "Your Majesty Sara," and the like, indicating they were waiting for the Queen to appear and give a speech. However, Naruto sensed something was off about these people.
After a while, a beautiful woman with red hair, escorted by two guards, walked onto the balcony of the high tower, smiling and waving to the crowd. It must be Queen Sara.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Queen Sara stumbled forward a few steps, and the balcony collapsed right where she stepped. Sara screamed as she fell from a height of over ten stories!
Fortunately, Minato reacted quickly, a Kunai arriving first, followed by a heroic rescue!
Minato caught Sara and instantly returned to his original position, holding her in the same way he held Kushina back then.
Strangely, the crowd in the square seemed not to notice the Queen's disappearance, continuing to cheer in place.
Naruto watched Minato, who was carrying the princess in a princess carry, seriously considering whether to report this. After all, his memories were sealed for so many years, so he definitely didn't mention this to Old Mom.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Minato habitually flashed a gentle smile, but unfortunately, it was hidden behind his mask, failing to charm Sara.
Sara dared to open her eyes at this moment, looked at the strange mask on Minato's face, broke free from his embrace, and asked a little flustered, "Who are you people?"
Although she was a queen, she was actually about the same age as Naruto, and her mother had just passed away, making her a young girl who was easily flustered.
Minato took off his mask and explained, "We are ninjas from Konoha. We are here to protect you and investigate a dangerous individual."
Whether it was because of Minato's handsome face or his gentle tone, Sara relaxed slightly: "Excuse me, thank you for saving me just now. What is this dangerous individual you speak of?"
"Six years ago..." Minato told Sara about Mukade, "Mukade's goal is to use the power of the Dragon Vein to create and strengthen puppets, and then launch a war."
"You're lying!" Sara's attitude changed drastically, and she said angrily, "The one who came here six years ago was not a ninja called Mukade, but an excellent man named An Lushan.
He is a peace-loving person who inherited his mother's last wish and worked hard for this city. How could he be the weapon manufacturer you speak of!"
The two people Sara trusted most were her mother and Minister An Lushan, who was Mukade.
It was because Mukade used his technology, coupled with the Loulan Queen's ability to control the Dragon Vein, that Loulan was developed into the prosperous state it is today.
Now that her mother has passed away, Sara trusts 'An Lushan' the most.
Naruto didn't even want to comment on the name An Lushan, just like the city called Loulan and the thing called Dragon Vein.
Minato shook his head: "Unfortunately, you have been deceived by that man."
"Impossible!" Sara didn't believe these strangers.
"Then how did Your Majesty Sara fall just now?"
Sara's face turned pale. She did feel someone push her from behind at the time, and the only person behind her at that time was...
"I'm going to find him and ask him clearly!"
