Just as Minato Namikaze's team and Ai's team were approaching the Kingdom of Loulan, travelers from time and space quietly appeared at the border of Loulan through the operation of dragon veins.
The strong fluctuations in time and space attracted the attention of countless "people". Uchiha You first appeared in Loulan and saw the blond boy at a glance.
Through the boy's noisy personality and his introduction to himself, Uchiha Yu was sure that this was the Uzumaki Naruto from the official history.
But he did not have any feeling of "historical correction power" at this time, because the time was no longer right.
At the time when this time point occurred, Minato Namikaze had not only achieved success and fame, but had also developed the Rasengan and even defeated the Fourth Raikage.
But now the time has been greatly advanced, even Minato's child has been in Kushina's belly for several months. The paradox of time and space has even reached the point where it cannot be reversed.
Therefore, Uchiha You focused his attention on observing the surrounding environment and paying attention to other "people" who were attracted by the power of time and space.
The first to appear was the God of Death, but he was as sharp as ever. He smelled Uchiha Yu's scent from afar, then turned around and slipped away.
Then, several half-dead "gods" appeared. They were captured one by one by Uchiha You, and then crushed into rosary beads and collected.
But that’s all. “God” seems to be becoming less and less.
Moreover, the most critical targets, the Six Paths Sage in the Pure Land and Otsutsuki Isshiki hiding in the human world, did not appear.
This made Uchiha You thoughtful.
Time and space are inseparable, but the situation seems to be somewhat different. When the weight of time in the power of time and space is heavier, it is more attractive to the gods, but the Otsutsuki clan has no reaction.
I don’t know whether it’s because of lack of attraction or lack of talent that makes them indifferent to this?
Uchiha You kept this doubt in mind, then left quietly, leaving his wooden clone to deal with possible accidents.
…
Uzumaki Naruto is indeed extremely reckless.
Without any reconnaissance preparation or plan, he plunged into the country of Loulan with its tall buildings, causing great chaos.
Amidst the chaos, the protagonist successfully rushed into the Loulan Palace and met the Queen of Loulan holding a little girl in her arms.
The little girl seemed slightly younger than Uzumaki Naruto, but she was very brave. When she saw outsiders breaking in, she pulled out a knife from her waist and took a defensive stance.
At the same time she shouted loudly: "Guards!"
However, it was of no use. Uzumaki Naruto rushed over, knocked the knife out of her hand, and then pushed her to the ground.
The little girl screamed in fear, but the sick queen was calm enough. Especially after seeing the Konoha forehead protector on Naruto's head, she felt much more relieved.
The Third Hokage was in power for 20 years, and he certainly didn't do a very good job, but his gentle governing style and his persistence in reputation left a considerable fortune for the Konoha ninja.
The common people, nobles, and merchants from all over the ninja world would feel fear when they saw ninjas, but they would feel at ease when they saw the ninjas from Konoha.
Not to mention actively helping, at least the Konoha ninjas will not kill people or rob property.
Queen Loulan: "Sara, stop shouting. The guards should have been dealt with by the Konoha ninja. Konoha ninja, please let my daughter go. I am your employer."
Uzumaki Naruto was confused: "Ah, but I don't have an employer for my mission. The employer for the mission to hunt down the rebel ninjas of Sand Village should be the Kazekage of Sand Village..."
The Queen of Loulan was stunned. After careful observation, she discovered that this young ninja actually had a strong aura of dragon veins. She was shocked.
"You are the same as An Lushan?"
Uzumaki Naruto was stunned for a while before he asked, "Who is An Lushan?"
"An Lushan is my mission target."
Suddenly a clear voice answered his question, and then Minato Namikaze appeared in the room and bowed slightly to the Queen of Loulan.
"Hello, Your Majesty, I am Minato Namikaze, the jonin of Konoha Village, and I am the executor of the mission you entrusted me with."
The Queen's eyes lit up:
[Namikaze Minato, the 4th Hokage is willing to send his assistant here, it's amazing! ]
Uzumaki Naruto's eyes became brighter:
[Namikaze Minato Jonin, isn't this the Fourth Hokage? What, what, what's going on? ]
But no matter what, Minato Namikaze's reputation is very effective and instantly made everyone present feel at ease.
Then Minato's men came in, causing Uzumaki Naruto to exclaim, "Kakashi-sensei, why are you so small?"
The title "Teacher Kakashi" was so powerful that Kakashi Hatake's dead fish eyes couldn't help but widen, Might Guy was so scared that he fell down, and Rin also widened her gentle almond eyes.
The three of them looked at each other, and even Minato Namikaze couldn't help but look this strange Konoha Genin up and down.
Minato Namikaze is experienced, quick to react, and smart. He recently learned the Flying Thunder God Technique and has his own understanding of space-time ninjutsu.
As a few thoughts flashed through his mind, Minato thought of a possibility: this was a Konoha ninja from the future.
He couldn't help but gasp, and it took a lot of effort to suppress his urge to exclaim and ask the other party for specific information.
In Minato Namikaze's shallow understanding, he has an inexplicable fear about the exchange of time and space information.
As a man who firmly believes in fatalism, he is full of awe for fate and is very worried that his actions will affect future changes.
So Minato Namikaze used code words to issue a silence order to his three subordinate students, prohibiting them from exchanging information with Uzumaki Naruto.
But human curiosity cannot be stopped. Even he himself pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the noisy chatter of Uzumaki Naruto.
Soon everyone knew that his mission was to hunt down the rebel ninja Baizu from the Sand Village, that Baizu was a puppeteer at the level of a Chunin, and that his name was Uzumaki Naruto.
When Minato Namikaze heard this name, his heart skipped a beat.
The combination of Uzumaki and Naruto made him instantly determine that this was his eldest son, but why did he use Kushina's surname?
Am I dead?
Minato Namikaze's mind was a little confused, but he quickly suppressed it and continued to ask the Queen of Loulan for detailed information.
Their mission this time is to eliminate An Lushan, the minister of Loulan Kingdom, but he is not an ordinary noble.
The Queen of Loulan said weakly, "An Lushan came to Loulan four years ago. He showed me how to use the dragon veins to create puppets to replace human work. Through endless labor, he created countless national wealth and made my Loulan rich."
"I was tempted and asked him to give it a try. As a result, the puppets he created were able to work tirelessly and replaced the most difficult jobs at the lowest level, causing the country's wealth to grow explosively."
"I also gave An Lushan enough rewards by promoting him to the position of state minister and handing him more and more power."
"Everything was good at first. The country was becoming more and more prosperous. More high-rise buildings were built, abundant groundwater resources were drawn, and sufficient food and fruits were produced."
"We even have the opportunity to raise more livestock, so that people can live a good life with meat and fruit every day..."
"What a pity! I originally wanted to make An Lushan the prime minister, but I found out that he was secretly creating military puppets and wanted to organize a huge puppet army."
The Queen of Loulan spoke a lot, and her symptoms of physical weakness became more and more obvious.
But she insisted and continued: "Loulan is a small country. It can be rich, but it should not be strong, and it must not pursue the so-called military."
"No matter what An Lushan wants to do, I cannot accept him building a strong army. This is not something that a small country like Loulan can have. It will inevitably bring us the crisis of national destruction."
"I told An Lushan my idea, but he then sent people to imprison me, and even my guards were killed by his puppets."
Sarah was stunned and exclaimed, "How dare An Lushan insult my mother? I will kill him!"
Queen Loulan ruffled her daughter's hair and said with a smile: "You don't have the ability to kill him, but fortunately I still have the opportunity to meet the royal merchant, so I have the opportunity to submit a mission request to Konoha Village."
Namikaze Minato bowed his head and said, "Please rest assured, Queen, I will get rid of this ambitious An Lushan."
He waved his hand, motioning Lin to come over: "Check the queen. I think her physical condition is not right. She may not be sick, but poisoned."
Lin had actually discovered it a long time ago. After receiving the order, she immediately went forward to check and took blood from the Queen's fingertips for testing.
After a moment, she said solemnly: "Minato-sensei, you are right, Her Majesty the Queen has been poisoned."
"And this poison is from the tip of the desert scorpion's tail, refined with several kinds of minerals. It is one of the most commonly used poisons by puppeteers in the Sand Village."
Princess Sarah exclaimed again: "Poisoned, can it be cured?"
Lin smiled and replied, "No problem. Konoha Village has been dealing with Sand Village for a long time and has a full understanding of their poisons."
"If it is a poison prepared by a jonin puppeteer, I am not sure enough, but the antidote for this basic poison was prepared by Lady Tsunade 15 years ago and integrated into the basic antidote pill."
Lin took out a white pill from the medical kit, handed it to the Queen of Loulan, and explained: "Only one pill is needed to completely detoxify, and there will be no sequelae."
The Queen of Loulan took the medicine with confidence. The effect of the medicine took effect quickly, making her sweat profusely. Then she felt relaxed and stood up directly.
Sarah was so happy that she held her mother's hand and jumped for joy. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and said, "An Lushan, this bastard, actually dared to poison my mother. He must not be forgiven!"
Namikaze Minato then ordered: "Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy!"
The two young ninjas immediately stood up: "In!"
Shuimen ordered: "Go find An Lushan immediately and capture or kill him!"
Kakashi immediately replied, "Yes! Teacher!"
Minato looked at Lin again: "Lin, you and I will stay here to protect Her Majesty the Queen. Compared to the mission objective, the safety of your employer is more important."
"Yes, teacher."
He looked at the queen again and asked, "Your Majesty, An Lushan's puppets can be used on a large scale because they rely on the power of the dragon veins. I think you should have a way to deprive An Lushan of the power of the dragon veins, right?"
The Queen of Loulan nodded and said, "Yes, I only need to return to the royal court and say a few words to calm the dragon veins."
"It's just that the royal court is now guarded by countless clay puppets, and it's impossible to get close to it."
Minato smiled and said, "Leave it to me. I will open the way to the royal court."
Finally, he looked at Uzumaki Naruto, smiled and said: "You are also a Konoha ninja, I am a Konoha Jonin, now you follow Kakashi and go to destroy An Lushan."
Naruto shouted excitedly: "Yes, Fourth Hokage!"
Everyone except him was stunned.
Constrained by Minato Namikaze's ban, the Konoha ninja said nothing, but the Queen of Loulan was not bound by it. She asked in surprise: "Isn't the Fourth Hokage Lord Orochimaru?"
Uzumaki Naruto's eyes widened, and he said in shock: "What? The Fourth Hokage should be Minato Namikaze! And Orochimaru is a traitor to Konoha!"
Even Minato Namikaze couldn't hold back at this, and exclaimed: "How could the Fourth Hokage become a traitor?"
Sarah was also stunned. The Fourth Hokage Orochimaru was a great man who ended the war and ushered in an era of peace. Even a little girl like her was famous.
The little princess pointed at Uzumaki Naruto and said, "Which Konoha ninja are you from? How could you mistake the Fourth Hokage who created peace? Are you a fake Konoha ninja?"
Uzumaki Naruto was also dumbfounded at this time, he even suspected that he was dreaming.
Because the circumstances around him were so different, not only was the Fourth Hokage still alive, but even Kakashi-sensei looked exceptionally young.
No, Kakashi actually looked younger than him.
Naruto's brain is really not very good, and his imagination is not broad enough to imagine that he has traveled through time.
Namikaze Minato said: "Okay, don't worry about these details for now, just complete the task first."
"yes!"
Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy went to An Lushan's office to kill him, while Minato Namikaze took Lin to protect the Queen of Loulan and went to the royal court to cut off the source of the puppet's power.
With two approaches at the same time, no matter which side succeeds, this mission can be completed.
Uzumaki Naruto, who didn't know what was going on, raised his arms and shouted in front of everyone's strange, suspicious, or even loving gazes: "Oh! Mission accomplished! Mission accomplished!"
His cheering touched Might Guy so much that he couldn't help but raise his arms and shout, "Oh~ Young people should complete their tasks with passion!"
Uzumaki Naruto was awakened by this soul-piercing shout, and finally discovered Might Guy's identity. He pointed at Might Guy and said tremblingly: "You, you are Xiao Li's teacher, Mr. Guy!"
"You, what happened to you?"
Just as Hatake Kakashi and Namikaze Minato were racking their brains to think about how to explain, Uzumaki Naruto slapped his head and said, "Really? The mission is the most important thing. Let's complete it quickly!"
After saying that, he ran away with Might Guy.
Kakashi and Minato Namikaze looked at each other.
Lin said in disbelief: "Minato-sensei, your son...why is he so stupid?"
"Not to mention someone as powerful as Minato-sensei, even Master Kushina's courage and fortitude cannot compare to her."
Hatake Kakashi suddenly added: "Could it be that he was switched at birth?"
Lin covered her mouth and laughed, "No, Kakashi, you think too much. According to medical knowledge, Naruto must be the teacher's child just by looking at that brilliant blond hair."
Being teased by two students, Namikaze Minato could only smile awkwardly: "Ah, the mission is the most important thing now, stop talking so much nonsense."
He looked at the white-haired boy who was scratching his eye and said, "Kakashi, I'll leave these two to you."
Hatake Kakashi nodded and said, "I understand, Minato-sensei."
Hatake Kakashi pulled up his mask to cover more of his face, then quietly performed the body-flickering technique and chased after the two hot-blooded idiots.
Minato looked at Lin again and said, "Protect Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Sarah, and follow my steps closely."
Lin also put away her smile and said solemnly: "Yes, Minato-sensei, I will do it."
The Queen of Loulan recovered a lot of her strength after resting for a while, so she stood up and said, "Minato Jonin, time is running out, let's set off now."
"I don't know how powerful the puppets An Lushan created are, but those puppets have the ability to repair themselves automatically. It should still be very troublesome. It is better to cut off their connection with the dragon veins as soon as possible."
Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what you said makes a lot of sense. Let's set off now."
Sarah said angrily, "Let's go. I want to see An Lushan defeated. I want to ask him in person why he lied to me and my mother."
The group walked down the stairs and headed towards the core area of Loulan Kingdom.
As expected, we encountered countless clay dolls along the way. Their ancient shapes were once awe-inspiring, but now they make people laugh.
The broad and round structure and the ancient worship shape of the gourd all convey the maker's touching aesthetic.
But Minato Namikaze really couldn't laugh. He found that these clay dolls were very weak, but they could be continuously restored. No matter how fast he killed them, he could not get rid of them all.
Minato was not worried about his own safety, as he was indeed very fast in destroying the clay figurines, so he was able to maintain a relatively safe defense circle.
Under the protection of the water gate, the Queen and Princess of Loulan were able to walk down step by step at their own pace.
The two royals and Lin could only see the clay fragments crawling on the ground, and could not even see the battle in progress.
What Minato Namikaze is worried about are Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, and Naruto Uzumaki.
Among these three children, only Might Guy, who seems to be the weakest, has the most solid foundation, the most stable performance, and is the one that makes him most at ease.
Hatake Kakashi is very strong and is the most standard jonin, but his strong attack power means excessive attack power, and his endurance is worrying.
And Uzumaki Naruto is just a Genin. Although Konoha's Genin are very strong, they are still Genin after all.
[I hope nothing will happen to Naruto and Kakashi. ]
