Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

A burst of purple light emanated from Sara's hand, and then the magic circle on the ground lit up, rapidly contracting towards the center, finally disappearing.

The machines in the factory emitted a sound like brakes screeching, all ceasing operation, the conveyor belts also stopped, and the puppets within the factory, including those attacking Naruto and the others, all scattered into a pile of parts.

Having done all this, Sara stood up and said, "That should do it. I've cut off the Dragon Vein's connection to this place."

The people who had been pushing the mechanisms finally stopped, collapsing to the ground to catch their breath.

However, before they could rejoice for long, strands of Chakra suddenly appeared in mid-air, connecting to the fallen puppets, and the puppets reassembled and stood up once more.

Immediately afterward, Mukade's voice came from the platform above: "Your Majesty Sara, what are you doing here?"

Sara didn't panic, but stared directly at him, shouting, "An Lushan, no, Mukade, I, in the name of the Queen, order you to cease the development of Puppet Weapons, release the enslaved people. I will not allow the power of the Dragon Vein to be used for war!"

Mukade's voice became mocking: "Oh? You've learned so much already. Then I can't allow you to live."

Minato stood in front of Sara, holding a Kunai horizontally: "Mukade, stop! We won't allow you to continue!"

Naruto felt that this shout lacked any momentum. Otherwise, he would have said, 'Mukade, stop! Jackie Chan is in every furniture store!'

Maybe that would have scared him?

Sure enough, Mukade was not at all intimidated by Minato: "It seems that Konoha ninjas have been saying unnecessary things around the Queen."

Mukade waved his hand, and the puppets surrounded them: "Your Majesty Sara, thank you for your contributions so far. You have replaced your deceased mother, dedicating yourself to completing my great goal. Now, die like your mother!"

"What did you say!?" Sara was stunned. She had always thought her mother died accidentally, but now, listening to Mukade's words, it didn't seem that way.

"It's just as you think. Your mother was a clever Queen. She realized my intentions early on and tried to stop me, so I had to let her die accidentally and replace her with an obedient you. Now that the Puppet Army is complete, your power to control the Dragon Vein is no longer needed."

Sara's tears couldn't stop falling. She had actually been trusting this murderer who killed her mother and had harmed the people of Loulan.

Minato handed her a Kunai and said, "Now is not the time to cry. Please take these people away as soon as possible. Leave this place to us."

"Okay!" Sara nodded vigorously, wiped her face, and tried to stop her tears. She still had things she had to do. "Everyone, follow me out of here, to a safe place!"

Hearing their exchange, Naruto casually created dozens of Shadow Clones and said, "Evacuating people..."

The Shadow Clones, who had just appeared, immediately finished the sentence: "We're good at that!"*n

The Shadow Clones escorted Sara and the laborers away, destroying all the puppets in their path.

"Hey, Minato, is that how Shadow Clones are used?" Choza remembered that Shadow Clones were used for reconnaissance, or to release one or two to lure enemies and assist in attacks. Who would casually throw out dozens of them to start fighting directly?

"I guess you can use them like that... maybe?" Minato thought about Kushina's Chakra reserves. Playing with Multiple Shadow Clone like this seemed possible.

"Rather than that, it's better to focus on dealing with the enemy." Shibi waved his hand, and a large swarm of insects flew out, enveloping several puppets.

These ordinary puppets, after all, didn't have much combat power and were quickly destroyed by the four.

But Mukade didn't panic at all: "I said the Puppet Army is complete, and in Loulan, my power is limitless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of puppets rushed in from various entrances, heading straight for the Konoha four.

At the same time, Mukade threw off the robe he was wearing and transformed into a three-meter-long, two-meter-high puppet, resembling a spider, but with only six legs. The tips of the front two legs were sharp blades, and his originally round and kind face became very, very ugly.

Judging from appearance alone, Sasori's puppets were indeed art compared to this guy.

After transforming, Mukade brandished his claws: "Look, this is my Ultimate Body! With the Dragon Vein, I will have the power to dominate the Five Great Nations!"

How is it the Ultimate Body again? How is it dominating the Five Great Nations again? You villains really have no creativity at all...

Before Naruto and the others could make a move, Mukade's boasting was interrupted, because several of the puppets that had just entered suddenly exploded with a bang.

"What?" Mukade looked at the shattered puppets in shock. "What's going on?"

A White Hair Kid ran in, quickly weaving between the remaining puppets, sticking several Exploding Tags, and then agilely jumped to a high place, holding up two fingers: "*Explode!*"

Boom boom boom! The remaining puppets were all blown to smithereens.

Minato praised, "Well done, Kakashi."

Naruto stared intently at the White Hair Kid standing on the wall—a young version of Kakashi! Without the Sharingan yet! Not even as tall as Naruto!

Cute, want to rua!

Kakashi shivered. What's up with that guy? He looks a lot like Minato-sensei, but why do I get the feeling that getting close to him will lead to trouble? Just my imagination, right?

"Damn it! Konoha ninjas, die!" Mukade waved his Blade Legs like a madman and charged forward.

Then Choza slapped him into the wall with the Partial Multi-Size Technique.

After that, Choza didn't say anything, but Naruto could read two words on his face: Is that all?

Of course, that couldn't be all. A purple Chakra was transmitted to him, and Mukade's injuries quickly recovered. His entire body doubled in size again, like a giant scorpion.

Mukade controlled the scorpion tail and smashed it over. The four scattered and jumped away, and he spat out dozens of Kunai, all of which were blocked or dodged.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!" Naruto formed hand seals and spewed out a high-pressure Water Pillar, cutting off the scorpion's tail and legs, but they quickly grew back.

"What a powerful Water Release," Minato praised, and said, "But maybe it's really as he said, as long as he has the Dragon Vein, he won't die."

"I'll verify it, and try to smash him up a bit more," Naruto shouted to the Nine Tails in the Sealing Space, "Big Fox!"

"Here!" The Nine Tails collected Natural Energy much faster than Naruto, and casually handed him a ball of it.

Naruto quickly entered Sage Mode, raised one hand above his head, and created a Rasenshuriken.

Is he adding a nature Transformation to the Rasengan? To be able to do it to this extent, and this Sage Mode seems to be more perfect than Jiraiya-sensei's... The eighteen-year-old Minato unconsciously revealed an Old Father's smile.

"Sage Art: Light Ring Hurricane Blast Arrow!" Naruto deliberately shouted the name that Minato had given it during the Summit War.

Hmm? This name is to my liking! Minato nodded, note it down, note it down, as expected of my son!

Kakashi, who was watching the battle from the outside, revealed dead fish eyes when he heard Naruto's shout. Could this guy be Minato-sensei's younger brother?
