Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 141 Fate Fluctuates Again, Minato Namikaze's Heartache!

Bang! ! !

In an instant, smoke and dust rose everywhere.

The towering metal golem was so powerful that it even smashed a deep crater into the hard concrete ground!

Centipede stared ferociously at the spot where the fist had struck, and laughed triumphantly.

"Hehehe..."

Seeing this, Sarah immediately tensed up and shouted:

"grown ups!"

"Are you alright?"

Centipede glanced at Sarah, laughing arrogantly, "Heh heh... he's already dead!"

"Next, I'll take you..."

"Wow, that's really confident!"

Just then, a steady and powerful voice came from the pit, interrupting Centipede's words.

"!!!"

Centipede's gaze instantly turned back, fixing on the smoke-filled pit.

He manipulated the puppet giant, attempting to smash it down again.

however……

"What happened? Is your right arm damaged?" Centipede asked, puzzled.

The right arm of the puppet giant he controlled, which was stuck in the deep pit, could not be pulled out for a long time.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pull it out; it felt as if a giant beast was biting me tightly.

The next moment, the smoke and dust dissipated.

In the middle of the pit, Suzuki stood calmly, his black trench coat without a single wrinkle. His left hand was in his pocket, and his right hand was slightly raised above his head, with Armament Haki invisibly swirling around him.

The metal golem giant's massive arm, weighing tens of tons, was lifted up with ease!

It's as easy as lifting a sponge, or even easier!

"How is that possible???"

Centipede stared wide-eyed at the unbelievable scene: "Are you a monster?"

"How could a human be that strong?!"

Suzuki glanced at the shocked face on the giant puppet's chest and said calmly, "You're just too inexperienced."

After saying that, he grabbed the puppet giant's arm with one hand and slowly walked out of the pit.

With each step Suzuki took forward, the puppet giant was forced to retreat a step.

In fact, while the strength to easily lift tens of tons is extremely rare in the ninja world, there are quite a few, such as Tsunade, the Third Raikage, Hashirama Senju, Might Guy, and so on...

However, it's understandable that the centipede, after all, only dreamed of using a group of puppets to overthrow the five great ninja villages and unify the ninja world, given its limited knowledge.

Seeing itself being pushed backward, Centipede roared furiously, "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

At the same time, he manipulated the puppet giant's left arm to repeatedly smash it down on Suzuki!

Bang bang bang!!

A large amount of dust and dirt was stirred up.

Strangely, even when each strike hit, it simply passed right through, causing no damage to Suzuki.

Even Suzuki still held firmly to the puppet giant's right arm.

This is precisely the partial elementalization of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

"Damn it! So what if you're stronger than me? I'm immortal!"

"Even if I turn to ashes, I can easily be reborn. You can't kill me!"

Centipede regained some of its composure from its rage.

His puppets were connected to the power of the dragon vein, allowing them to resurrect and regenerate an unlimited number of times, so he wasn't worried at all.

"Heh, really?"

Suzuki stepped out of the pit, glanced at the centipede, and then released his right hand, which was gripping the puppet giant's arm.

His figure vanished instantly!

next second.

Suzuki stood suspended in mid-air, staring directly at the grotesque face with a hundred legs on the chest of the puppet giant.

"So fast!" Centipede's pupils contracted.

"Hmph! Trying to scare me?"

"What good is being strong and fast?"

"What haven't I seen, even though I have a hundred legs?"

Despite his arrogant words, the repeated defeats he suffered made Centipede a little wary.

Centipede possesses memories of the next twenty years or more of the ninja world.

He carefully compared Suzuki's appearance with his own, while recalling the memories in his mind.

Where did this damn guy come from?

It can discharge electricity, has great strength, and is fast...

How could such a powerful ninja remain unknown in the future?

However, even after racking his brains, Baizu still couldn't find the slightest clue about Suzuki.

The bizarre situation jolted Centipede awake. Both the comparison of memories in his mind and his inexplicable self-destruction just now were too strange.

Something is wrong!

has a problem!

"Did you cast an illusion on me?"

Centipede stared intently at Suzuki, pondering and speculating about his own absurd behavior just now.

"what?"

Suzuki glanced at Centipede in surprise.

To be honest, he was a little surprised to see this arrogant rogue ninja puppeteer from Sunagakure regain his senses.

but.

Suzuki's actions did not stop.

A silvery-white light flashed in his pupils, and crackling lightning began to appear intermittently in his hair.

"Hmph! Damn it, no matter how exquisite your illusions are, I still managed to break them!"

"My immortal body, you..."

"ah--"

Just as Centipede was still trying to give himself confidence.

next moment.

Suzuki reached out and forcefully pulled his soul out!

The whole process was incredibly smooth, without the slightest hindrance, as easy as playing tug-of-war with a swarm of ants on the other side.

"Ouch, that hurts! What did you do to me?"

"What kind of illusion is this?"

After feeling an indescribable pain, Baizu found himself in his current state.

He was like a wisp of transparent, pale purple air, easily held in Suzuki's hand. He had never seen a soul, nor had he ever died. Baizu even thought that Suzuki had cast an illusion on him again.

"So, this level of power is all it takes~" Suzuki said thoughtfully, looking at the centipede's soul being pulled out of its body.

No, perhaps this guy is an exception?

After all, although his strength was barely not too weak, he was ultimately a puppeteer who had borrowed the power of the dragon vein, and all his strength was in the puppet.

"Hey! Who exactly are you?"

"Let go of me! Damn it!"

"I want to take you..."

The centipede's startled cry interrupted Suzuki's thoughts.

Suzuki frowned, a cold glint in his eyes as he looked at the panicked, shouting centipede.

The next second, lightning suddenly flashed on his arm!

"ah--"

With a scream, the soul of this visitor from another dimension was pierced by countless claw-like wavy threads, and he was manipulated and woven at will like a scarecrow.

At the same time.

The towering metal giant golem shattered, turning into countless fragments that piled up on the ground.

Outside, in the Kingdom of Loulan.

Many of the seemingly normal residents of Loulan suddenly collapsed to the ground as they walked, like robots without power.

"What...what's going on? What happened to you guys??"

This scene even frightened many residents who were still normal humans, causing them to panic.

Inside the palace hall, after sensing Centipede's memories, Suzuki narrowed his eyes, then crumpled the soul he had woven into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket.

Then he waved his hand, dispelling the protective shield that had enveloped Sarah and her mother's bodies.

Then, he started chatting with the next queen of Loulan.

As Suzuki talked, he sorted through the memories he had seen from Centipede.

original.

The future ninja world before Centipede's transmigration was more of a parallel world than a true future.

Because there were no running ducks, no ninja news reports, no mutated creatures, and no Suzuki anywhere.

But will Naruto and Yamato still arrive...?

Suzuki's gaze deepened as he witnessed the scene of Centipede being chased by Team 7.

"Quack quack quack—"

Before long, accompanied by a series of clear and loud quacks, Kakuzu and the others hurriedly arrived on their running ducks.

"Lord Suzuki, you left way too fast."

"Sorry, we really can't keep up..."

Shennong walked into the palace hall and looked at Suzuki with a wry smile.

Hiruko, along with thirty researchers carrying scrolls, quickly dismounted from the running duck.

"It's alright, let's go, let's go to the dragon vein first."

Suzuki composed himself and calmly addressed his arriving subordinates.

He had just spoken to Sarah about this.

Because of Suzuki's immense power and his gratitude for avenging her mother, Sara agreed without much hesitation.

"yes!"

The researchers answered in unison.

Soon, led by Suzuki and Sara, the group arrived at the sealed site of the dragon vein.

The dragon vein, which should have been sealed, has now been opened with a crack due to the Centipede's conspiracy.

Looking through the gap, it was a vast expanse of white, containing an almost indescribable amount of rich energy!

Even the slightest bit that seeps out accidentally exudes a heavy and solid aura.

"That's truly unbelievable!"

Hiruko couldn't help but marvel at the immense power of the dragon vein.

The researchers couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

This dragon vein, almost more terrifying than the tailed beasts, left everyone in a state of deep shock.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time."

"Hurry up and extract the dragon vein's energy to nurture the tender shoots."

"If we delay any longer, the seedling that has finally sprouted will wither away."

Suzuki's words snapped these people out of their daze.

Everyone quickly responded, "Yes, Lord Suzuki!"

Immediately, everyone took off the storage scrolls from their backs.

With a series of bangs, a large amount of research equipment was placed in the Dragon Vein Sealing Hall.

Suzuki also opened a storage scroll and handed the sacred tree sapling to Shennong and the others:

"Be careful not to hurt it."

"Oh, right, I also have a copy of energy extraction technology here."

As he spoke, Suzuki told Shennong and the others about the method of extracting dragon vein energy that he had discovered from the centipede's mind.

It must be said that the centipede did achieve some success in this regard.

This saved everyone a lot of time.

Combined with the advanced energy technology that the Sky Ninjas already possessed, the Dragon Vein energy was quickly and easily extracted.

"At this rate, how long will it take for it to grow?"

Watching the sapling of the sacred tree continuously absorbing nutrients, Suzuki asked Shennong and the others questions.

"Uh... Lord Suzuki, although the energy of the dragon vein is very rich, judging from the current situation, it will probably take at least a thousand years for this seedling to grow up," Shennong said somewhat nervously.

"I see."

Suzuki frowned, but didn't say anything more.

A thousand years... This was something he almost overlooked.

The divine tree that was originally planted in the ninja world, whose fruit was taken by Kaguya Otsutsuki, took thousands of years to finally grow.

In that case...

Suzuki narrowed his eyes: Perhaps we should send his clone to look for a solution on the other side of the ocean.

His brows quickly relaxed.

Suzuki turned slightly to look at Sara, who had come with him and was now standing quietly to the side.

Suzuki used a summoning spell to conjure several storage scrolls, which he then handed to the next queen of Loulan.

"Sarah, the situation in Loulan is very bad right now."

"There are about 10 billion taels of silver in here. Use it to develop this country."

"Also, I see you don't have many running ducks here. I'll have someone send over a few hundred later. Running ducks are quite useful for transportation in the desert."

How much...?

Ten billion?

Sarah was stunned by such astonishing generosity that she even forgot to take the scroll that Suzuki handed her.

"Don't just stand there, take it."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Sarah snapped out of her daze and looked at Suzuki with gratitude: "Thank you!"

With so much money, she could easily develop Loulan into a prosperous place.

Suzuki smiled and then looked at the group of researchers who had already begun to work seriously.

He said with a serious expression, "You must nurture this seedling carefully and take good care of it. There can be no mistakes!"

"Good job, the reward will be substantial! As long as it successfully grows up, each of you will receive a top-tier mission!"

"But what if something goes wrong..."

Suzuki's sharp gaze swept over the group, causing the researchers to lower their heads, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.

"Alright, let's get back to work."

"Yes, Lord Suzuki!!!" the researchers replied in unison.

Suzuki nodded and then left.

The border of the Loulan Kingdom.

As he was about to leave, Suzuki stopped in his tracks.

He turned and looked at the city in the desert, recalling the scene he had glimpsed from Centipede's memories, and couldn't help but sigh: Naruto and Yamato will be here soon~

Unfortunately, it seems that Senior Minato will not have the chance to receive the mission to go to Loulan.

but……

Suzuki smiled, turned around, and walked towards the edge of the city.

His figure gradually disappeared into the yellow sand.

……

Meanwhile, at the training grounds in Konoha Village.

A heartwarming scene of teacher-student interaction is unfolding here.

However, it's upside down.

"Minato, what's the next step?"

Jiraiya scratched his head, looking at his apprentice, Minato Namikaze, with a conflicted and puzzled expression!

"Hmm... Teacher, you should gather your chakra here."

"Then……"

Minato Namikaze patiently explained the principles of the technique to his teacher.

Although he was the apprentice, it was obvious.

That dazzling talent made it impossible for Jiraiya to teach this terrifying genius.

In fact, to make up for his lack of combat power, Jiraiya even had to learn Minato Namikaze's self-created ninjutsu—the Rasengan!

Looking at Minato Namikaze with his golden hair, azure eyes, and an aura of confidence and sunshine, Jiraiya couldn't help but be somewhat lost in thought.

That's really excellent!

In Konoha, no, even in the entire ninja world, Minato would probably be the best.

Could it be... that the chosen one isn't Nagato, but Minato?

"Jiraiya-sensei?" Just then, Minato Namikaze noticed Jiraiya's dazed expression and gently reminded him.

Jiraiya snapped out of his daze: "Uh...it's nothing."

"Minato, I thought I could teach you a lot, but I never expected you to be so talented!"

"I'm supposed to be your teacher, but now I have to learn your self-created ninjutsu. It's really..."

"Who knows what would happen if those two guys saw this?"

Minato Namikaze was somewhat embarrassed by these words: "Uh, Jiraiya-sensei, I..."

Seeing his disciple's expression, Jiraiya laughed heartily and patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder forcefully:

"Hahaha, just kidding, I don't care about that kind of thing at all! In fact, Orochimaru and Tsunade are probably envious of me!"

Beside him, Akimichi Yoshimaru, also a member of Jiraiya's team and Minato's current teammate, laughed and said, "Yeah, yeah, Minato, you're really amazing! Not only did you create your own ninjutsu, but you also learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, which no one but the Second Hokage could learn!"

"Hehe, I just..."

Halfway through his sentence, Minato Namikaze suddenly frowned and clutched his chest with his right hand.

"Watergate?"

Jiraiya and his two teammates quickly said.

"What's wrong?" Just then, Kushina Uzumaki, who had been watching the training from the side, rushed over.

Kushina Uzumaki hugged Minato Namikaze, pressed her forehead against his, and asked with some concern:

"Minato, are you alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright, Kushina, don't worry." Minato Namikaze comforted his lover first.

Then, frowning and somewhat puzzled, she said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, but I feel much better now."

"Feeling tight in your chest?" Kushina Uzumaki looked at her lover with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the clear blue sky:

"No, I think the weather is quite nice today!"

"And for some reason, I feel an unusual sense of happiness."

"It's like...it's like..."

As she spoke, Kushina Uzumaki's tone inexplicably softened, and her delicate face flushed slightly.

Seeing this, Jiraiya's two teammates couldn't help but joke:

"Hey, why don't you two just get married right now and have a baby?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be his godfather then, hahaha..."

Hearing their teasing, Kushina Uzumaki's face instantly turned bright red, steam rising from her hair: "Go to hell! What nonsense are you two talking about?"

Minato Namikaze gently stroked Kushina Uzumaki's hair: "Hehe, alright, alright, stop teasing us~"

Just then, Jiraiya, who was watching the commotion from the side, suddenly frowned.

"Sorry, Minato, Kushina, Yoshimaru, and Inuyasha, I suddenly received a message from Mount Myōboku. I'm going there."

"Yes, Jiraiya-sensei."

……

Mt. Miaomu.

Jiraiya rushed here in a hurry.
