Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

"You are not a puppet princess; you still have things you must do!"

After saying that, Naruto charged at Centipede again.

"Naruto!"

Sara held the still-warm knife and stared at Naruto in a daze for a while.

Then, as if he had figured something out, he shouted Naruto's name.

To Naruto's astonishment, he picked up the chakra blade and stabbed himself.

Oh, she didn't commit suicide.

She used a knife to cut open her queenly attire, took off her gorgeous clothes, grabbed the hem of her elaborate long skirt, and with a "ripping" sound, tore it in half, revealing her legs that were easy to move around in.

Then, she tore off a strip of cloth from her body and tied her messy long hair into a neat ponytail.

Aoba's lips twitched as she watched, and she couldn't help but mentally rant: "Lady, this is a team battle! Every second counts, and you're doing a transformation animation? Do we even need to add background music for this?"

Did you spend all the time we risked our lives to buy you just now just thinking about your look?

During this time, Naruto was hit by several chakra cannons and was even hammered away by a giant puppet. If Minato hadn't rescued him in time, this savior from another dimension might have met his end prematurely.

Then, perhaps due to the triggering of the Water Gate cutscene, the centipede was knocked down and couldn't climb out for a long time. The group and the residents of Loulan watched as Sara made a statement of determination, as if holding a press conference. A silly puppet princess once again won the hearts of the people of Loulan, who all wanted to fight alongside Sara.

Aoba was also dumbfounded.

Her impassioned speech actually roused a group of unarmed civilians to follow her and rush toward the core of the dragon vein.

Sarah confidently asserted that the monsters there would be unable to approach.

What kind of god-level brain circuit is this?

Didn't they know that the centipede's target was her? It didn't separate from the common people, but went to close the dragon vein itself, and even brought a group of ordinary people, including the elderly and children.

Is this a case of wanting to take her people to the Pure Land even in death, and continue being queen?

Minato, Choza, and Shiki remained silent throughout, watching Naruto and Sara go through the storyline.

Then the giant centipede puppet finally reappeared.

Just as Naruto was about to go fight the BOSS again, Choji stopped him.

"Wait a minute, this is our work area."

Naruto: "What?"

Even Zhiwei, who had barely spoken, stepped forward and said, "Go protect Sarah. Separating us will buy us more time."

Naruto was clearly unhappy and protested repeatedly.

Minato held Naruto down and explained, "They're right, that guy is very strong. It's better to set up more lines of defense."

"【Ninja Art: Insect Deception】!"

A black cloud of insects surged out, instantly engulfing the puppet that was struggling to get up.

"My turn!"

Akimichi Choza roared, pulled a pill from his ninja tool pouch, tossed it high into the air, and then leaped up to swallow it.

"Multiply Technique!"

boom!

Ding Zuo, who was already enormous, grew even larger, transforming into a giant whose size was comparable to that of a giant puppet.

He suddenly reached out with both hands and grabbed the spider puppet's tail tightly. His muscles bulged, and he actually managed to throw the puppet monster away.

Minato then threw out his shuriken.

"【Hand-Sword Shadow Clone Technique】!"

An ordinary shuriken instantly split into hundreds or thousands of physical clones, which, like a storm of steel, densely shot towards the puppet's body, riddling it with holes.

……

On the other side, with the help of Aoba and Yamato, the Loulan group successfully arrived at the underground platform. Just when Aoba thought that with the information he provided, Centipede would be killed by Minato in advance, the giant puppet suddenly flashed with purple chakra light and charged over despite the attacks from Minato and the other two.

Then Naruto formed a Rasengan in front of Minato.

Seeing the familiar blue orb rapidly condense in Naruto's hand, Minato's pupils contracted slightly.

The vague guess I had in my mind was slowly becoming certain at this moment.

Naruto charged forward with the Rasengan, but was swatted away by the puppet's huge forelimbs as if it were swatting a fly.

"hateful!"

Undeterred, Naruto created another shadow clone, forming a piercing chakra ball in his hand.

"[Wind Release: Rasengan]!"

The onlooker, Qingye, was completely dumbfounded. Was this really a savior?!

It's absolutely terrifying, like an unkillable cockroach.

Naruto has been swatted away by the giant puppet several times. A normal person would die several times over, but this guy can get back up every time.

As the Wind Release: Rasengan was absorbed by the puppet, Naruto was sent flying again. This time, he only consumed a large amount of chakra and was not even injured.

"This is unreasonable. Even with the Nine-Tailed Fox passive buff, it shouldn't be this outrageous."

Aoba's sunglasses gleamed with blue light as he rapidly analyzed the future Naruto's physical data.

Another attack failed, and Naruto was only slightly exhausted due to excessive chakra consumption.

Faced with Centipede's renewed attack, Minato once again appeared in a flash and saved him.

"Are you alright? I've found its weakness."

Minato looked at Naruto with an unprecedentedly serious expression. "Use the Rasengan there."

"I can't take it anymore..."

Naruto, panting heavily and pale-faced, said, "I can no longer use chakra."

I lend you my strength.

Minato looked at the boy in front of him with gentle eyes.

"It's impossible. The Rasengan is a ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage. Only I and the Perverted Sage can use it."

"So I can use it too!"

Naruto: "?"

"Come on, quickly stretch out your right hand."

"Why?"

Naruto's eyes widened; this feeling...

Minato's hands guided Naruto's hands, and a blue Rasengan, more solid and dazzling than ever before, took shape in his palms.

Immediately afterwards, Minato's other hand also lit up, and a Rasengan emitting a soft green light appeared.

Two chakra spheres of similar nature, as if drawn by some mysterious force, slowly approached each other and eventually merged perfectly, forming a brand new Rasengan that was interwoven with blue and green and contained terrifying energy.

"This is... the Tai Chi Rasengan?!"

Aoba stood at a distance, watching this scene, a strange emotion welling up inside her.

A father and son join forces across time and space.

Is this what they call "plot correction power"?

Even with my intervention and the information being given to Minato beforehand, this inexplicable [Taichi Rasengan] still appeared just like in the story.

Is this a "preordained event" or a coincidence?

If everything is predestined, then all his efforts in traveling to the present day would be a joke.

Just as Aoba was lost in thought, Sara finally sealed the dragon vein.

The purple light on the giant puppet instantly dimmed and disappeared.

"...!"

Rumble!

Minato used his sword shadow clone technique again.

"Let's go!"

Naruto, wielding the Rasengan that combined the power of father and son, slammed it fiercely into the core of the centipede!

"BOOM—!!!"
