Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History

Minato Namikaze steadied himself, placed the little toad on his shoulder, and looked at the dust cloud with a smile, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing:

"Jiraiya-sensei, my reaction time was pretty quick, wasn't it?"

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh echoed through the dust, vibrating the air. As the smoke cleared, the true form of the newcomer was revealed.

A tall figure, a headband with the character "oil" emblazoned on his forehead, long silver hair cascading to his waist, striking red marks under his eyes, wearing a red outer garment over a brown undershirt, wooden clogs, ninja tools on his hands, and a massive scroll slung across his back.

It was none other than Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin!

"It's been so many years, I couldn't resist testing you. You don't mind, do you?" Jiraiya said with a forced serious smile, scratching his head as he spoke.

As he finished speaking, the strange makeup on his face gradually faded away.

Minato smiled broadly: "Of course not, Jiraiya-sensei."

On the surface, she appeared relaxed and at ease, but inwardly she was deeply impressed by the teacher's meticulous attention to detail.

Jiraiya-sensei is still the same as always; seemingly carefree on the surface, he is actually incredibly meticulous and possesses profound wisdom.

That probing attack just now, seemingly casual, was actually a prelude to Jiraiya secretly preparing to enter Sage Mode. Once he realized that the Minato Namikaze before him was an imposter, he would be met with a devastating Sage Art attack.

As Jiraiya's disciple for many years, Minato knew his personality well, so he immediately demonstrated his two signature techniques, the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan, upon meeting him.

These two skills have practically become synonymous with Minato Namikaze; no one else but him can use them.

Therefore, Jiraiya completely lowered his guard.

………………

Since it was a rare reunion between master and disciple, the two naturally wouldn't choose to reminisce about the past in a desolate place. Jiraiya led Minato to a secluded little tavern.

The two sat facing each other, able to talk freely in this private space.

Jiraiya poured them each a full glass of sake, then drank it all in one gulp, his face beaming with enjoyment.

"You...you're not Minato, are you?"

After a moment's hesitation, Jiraiya uttered something startling, staring with a smile at the "Minato Namikaze" opposite him.

Minato showed no panic whatsoever; on the contrary, his admiration was evident in his expression.

"As expected of Jiraiya-sensei, you saw through that..."

Jiraiya smugly said, "Haha, of course! He's my disciple, after all. If he didn't even have this much discernment, wouldn't I be a useless teacher?"

However, at this point, Jiraiya's eyes welled up with tears: "If that's the case... then he's really gone."

"Sigh, before returning to Konoha, I still clung to the illusion that he might not have died back then, but was just seriously injured and recuperating until now..."

"Until I met you, all my fantasies vanished like bubbles."

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Unable to find the right words to comfort him, Minato could only silently pour him a full glass of fine wine.

Without a word, Jiraiya raised his cup again and drank it all in one gulp, as if that could wash away the sorrow in his heart.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, Minato. Tell me about yourself." Jiraiya's eyes were bright and fixed on him.

Although he claimed that the Minato before him was not the disciple he remembered, he did not deny that it was indeed Minato Namikaze himself.

Minato smiled slightly: "Teacher, didn't you just say that I'm not that 'Minato'?"

Jiraiya waved his hand, pretending to be relaxed, and said:

"Well, you are Minato, but not the Minato I know."

"To be more precise, it's not the Watergate I remember, but my teacher's intuition tells me there's more to it than meets the eye."

"I see... Teacher, have you ever heard of the concept of alternate dimensions?"

After a moment's thought, Minato raised this question.

Upon hearing the words "alternate dimension," Jiraiya suddenly understood and was greatly surprised:

"you mean……"

"That's right"

Minato nodded, then took a moment to briefly explain his background.

He confessed that he was not Minato Namikaze from this timeline.

Upon learning the truth, Jiraiya was filled with emotion:

"Such an incredible secret is hidden in the ninja world..."

"No wonder, no wonder! I thought it was some new secret technique in the ninja world that could perfectly replicate a person."

"I never imagined the truth would be so extraordinary."

Minato listened patiently to Jiraiya's reflections with a smile and no words.

Suddenly, Jiraiya asked urgently, "Minato, what year is it where you are?"

"Konoha 48 years, is there a problem, teacher?" Minato asked honestly.

"Minato, you can come, so you should be able to go back, right?" Jiraiya's expression seemed somewhat anxious.

"sure"

Having received an affirmative answer, Jiraiya suddenly grabbed Minato's arm, his tone resolute:

"Minato, when you go back, you must take me with you. I will not be absent from this battle again!"

"Jiraiya-sensei..." A warm feeling welled up in Minato's heart.

He could even feel Jiraiya's hands trembling slightly; clearly, Jiraiya still harbored resentment about not being able to appear on the night of the Nine-Tails' attack.

But this wasn't his fault. At the time, he was searching for Orochimaru, and the sudden attack by the masked man was something no one could have predicted.

Minato gently patted his hand and comforted him with a smile:

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm prepared and won't let that tragedy happen again."

Hearing Minato's confident reply

Jiraiya nodded. Thanks to Minato's wisdom and the intelligence he had gathered beforehand, the scales of victory were clearly tipping in his favor.

But he still reminded them, "If you need any help, just let me know."

"Don't worry, Jiraiya-sensei, I will."

"Haha, that's good, I'm relieved. Come on, let's drink until we drop!" Jiraiya's hearty laughter was full of heroic spirit.

Minato, not wanting to disappoint Jiraiya, kept him company, drinking cup after cup, until the night deepened.

And at this moment

Inside the Hokage's office, Nara Shikaku was overwhelmed by the mountain of documents piled on his desk.

Why is it that Minato is always able to handle these complicated matters with ease, while I have to think things through repeatedly to avoid making mistakes?

"Minato said he'd be back in a little while..."

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

Nara Shikaku racked his brains, wondering if he had misheard back then.

Shuimen actually said he would come back tomorrow?

Chapter 85 Black Zetsu: What to do when Madara is chasing and slashing me? I need help urgently!

The treatment at the extra-level is really great; they don't have to get up early in the morning to train or go on missions with their mentors and other high-ranking ninjas.

Yu Yue slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky, only to be pulled back to reality by a message popping up in the group chat.

"Someone summoned me?"

Yu Yue jolted awake, all sleepiness gone, and her fingers flew across the chat interface.

Hashirama Senju: "@Yuzuki Shinomiya, Yuzuki, there's new information from Madara's side."

Madara Uchiha: "New developments? What's going on? How come I didn't know about this?"

Hashirama Senju: "...Ahem, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Madara in our world."

Madara Uchiha: "Alright, Hashirama, come visit me sometime. I've rebuilt the ninja world; you'll be quite surprised if you come."

Hashirama Senju: "Haha, I will. I'll go over when I have time."

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Hashirama, call me if you have anything good to share!"

Hashirama Senju: "Yuzuki, you're here just in time. Here's what happened: Madara sent me a message this morning saying that Black Zetsu has finally shown his face."

"Not long ago, Madara finished learning the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques from the Land of Whirlpools, and then deliberately showed his face in the ninja world, only to discover that a shadow was secretly following him."

"It's almost certainly that Black Zetsu guy."

"Madara plans to use the Reverse Four Symbols Seal to lock Black Zetsu away forever. Once this technique is used, those sealed within will never be able to escape; there's no way to break free."
