Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 145 Naruto and Yamato feed Madara Uchiha (5k)

The howling wind blew yellow sand all over the sky.

Suzuki arrived in Loulan.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Yamato were wandering around this small desert town.

"Stop! Don't run!"

A group of base members who stayed behind in Loulan to guard the saplings of the divine tree were chasing closely behind Naruto and Yamato.

Amidst the towering buildings, Yamato used Wood Release to defend against the surrounding attacks while he and Naruto leaped and escaped rapidly across the rooftops.

"Wow, that was dangerous!" Naruto reacted quickly, dodging a shuriken by tilting his head. "Yamato-sensei, where are we? How did we end up in a place like this?"

"I don't know either!" Yamato was on the verge of tears. He looked around at the tall buildings, his face still showing shock: "When did such a prosperous city appear in the desert?"

"Lightning Release! False Darkness!"

A lightning spear, incredibly sharp, hurtled towards the two of them.

"Be careful!"

Yamato suddenly pulled Naruto over.

The lightning spear pierced straight through, and the yellow hair on the right side of Naruto's head was charred black by the high temperature.

"Ouch~ That was terrifying, I almost died~" Naruto's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he looked at Yamato with gratitude: "Thank you, Yamato-sensei!"

However, as Yamato watched the lightning spear pierce through dozens of houses and finally plunge nearly a hundred meters into the ground, a look of fear immediately appeared on his face.

He turned and glanced at Kakuzu, who was preparing to unleash another powerful ninjutsu, and solemnly reminded Naruto:

"Be careful, there's a really strong guy in this group!"

"Hmm!" Naruto's expression instantly turned serious.

Not far behind the two.

"Damn it, where did these two Konoha ninjas come from? They suddenly appeared next to the seedling. What if we accidentally bumped into or disturbed it?" One of the base combat members looked on with lingering fear: "Lord Suzuki values ​​it highly!"

"Who knows? Space-time ninjutsu isn't unheard of in the ninja world." Kakuzu squinted at Naruto and Yamato, who were leaping across the rooftops, and sighed softly. "It's a pity that powerful ninjutsu can't be used in the city. Otherwise, how could these two have run so far?"

As the location of the dragon vein and the place where the divine tree saplings will grow in the near future, Jiao knew that his boss valued the city of Loulan very much, so he dared not carry out large-scale destruction without authorization.

However... we really can't let these two Konoha ninjas continue running around like this!

Kakuzu's eyes sharpened as he pondered whether he should simply unleash his full power later, and if all else failed, apologize to his boss later.

Two thousand meters above Loulan.

Suzuki used his Observation Haki to sense everything in the city beneath his feet.

He could clearly perceive the dust kicked up by Naruto and Yamato's jump, and the increasingly sharp look in Kakuzu's eyes.

Suzuki looked down at the striking blond hair with a deep expression, a slight smile playing on his lips.

His figure instantly landed in front of Kakuzu.

"No need." Suzuki suddenly appeared, pressed down on Kakuzu's hand that was about to form hand seals, and slowly said in Naruto's direction, "Let me do it."

Several combatants and Kakuzu were stunned for a moment, but quickly came to their senses.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Suzuki!"

Suzuki smiled gently at his subordinates and said, "You've worked hard, everyone. Go back now. I know those two Konoha ninjas."

"..." The group exchanged glances, surprised that these two Konoha ninjas who had appeared out of nowhere were actually acquaintances of their boss.

The group then bowed in unison and said, "Yes, Lord Suzuki!"

Suzuki nodded.

The next second, the figure disappeared from the spot.

Naruto and Yamato, who were on the run, were terrified when they saw the figure that suddenly appeared in front of them.

"So fast!!"

The two exchanged a glance, their faces immediately turning wary as they jumped back.

"Hehe, gentlemen, don't panic. You may have made a mistake." At this moment, Suzuki was dressed in gorgeous clothes, like a nobleman, and looked at Naruto and Yamato with a gentle smile.

The future male protagonist, the prophesied child in the mouth of the Great Toad Sage, the reincarnation of Ashura, the youngest son of the Sage of Six Paths, the son of the Fourth Hokage, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, etc... are all titles of Naruto Uzumaki. At this time, Naruto has completed his training with Jiraiya and returned to Konoha, where he was assigned to the new Team 7. He is quite strong.

Beside him, naturally, was Yamato, the Wood Release ninja who was temporarily serving as the captain of Team 7.

Suzuki smiled gently and continued slowly:

"Mr. Yamato, Naruto, right? You are no longer in your original world. This place is also Loulan, but for you, it should belong to the Loulan of twenty years ago."

"In a sense, your world is probably twenty years from now, or more likely it's a parallel world."

"By the way, the reason I know about this is because I investigated the memories of your mission target - Centipede. Here, he is called An Lushan."

What? Twenty years ago?

parallel world?

Is this Loulan twenty years ago?

Naruto and Yamato were completely stunned, feeling as if their minds had turned into a mess, with so much complicated information that they couldn't make sense of it all at once.

Surprisingly, it was Naruto, who seemed dazed, who was the first to come to his senses.

He looked around at the tall buildings with a serious expression, observed the many large ducks carrying people passing by on the street, and then looked up at the sun in the sky.

Naruto pondered for a moment.

He had traveled to many places in the ninja world with Jiraiya, and the Fifth Kazekage Gaara was his friend. If there were really many of these big ducks in the desert, there was no reason why Sunagakure would not have them. But he had never heard of such a magical creature from Gaara!

Although he was already somewhat convinced, Naruto still earnestly asked Suzuki, "How can you prove what you're saying is true?"

Yamato, who was standing to the side, also realized what was happening and looked at Suzuki with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Proof? What proof do you need?" Suzuki chuckled, pointing to the yellow sand outside the city. "If you don't believe me, you're free to leave. However, if you want to return to your original world, I suggest you stay."

"Don't worry, no one will continue to hunt you down. Of course, if you'd like, you can come over there with me and we can talk."

After saying that, Suzuki didn't wait for their response and turned to walk towards a noodle shop in the city.

"..."

Naruto and Yamato exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

Without hesitation, the two followed Suzuki toward the noodle shop with a hint of wariness in their hearts.

Not long after, at a noodle shop on the street.

The three of them sat around a table eating ramen.

"It's really true!" Yamato exclaimed repeatedly as he sat in his chair, looking at the Ninja World News in his hand. "Konoha Village is here too! The Hokage looks so young! Has White Fang only been dead for a few years? And those running ducks..."

Both the current situation in Konoha Village and those seemingly plausible but ultimately false things surprised Yamato greatly.

Naruto, while shoveling food into his ramen, stared wide-eyed at the picture of the migrating crab from Iwagakure on the newspaper, exclaiming in shock, "Wow~ Yamato-sensei, look! What a huge crab! If we grilled one, how many days would it take to eat it?!"

"Hey, there's this bird too! It can deliver newspapers! How clever! And..."

Suzuki smiled, pointed to the newspaper article about the revival of the ninja world, and said to Yamato with a smile:

"Mr. Yamato, it seems like there's no such thing as a world resurrection on your side, right? Mutated creatures, the Hokage Building incident, and the recent minor skirmishes between the various ninja villages—none of these have happened there, have they?"

Yamato shook his head, somewhat shocked, and said, "Yes, we don't have that where we're from, we..."

"Mmm...this is so delicious!" Naruto, who was eating the Sea King meat chunk in his ramen, exclaimed excitedly with tears in his eyes, "What...what kind of meat is this? It's even better than the beef in instant noodles! I never knew there was such a delicious thing in the world!"

"..." Yamato's words were interrupted. He glanced curiously at the meat in his bowl, then picked up his chopsticks and took a piece: "What? Naruto, this... Mmm! Delicious!!!"

Yamato swore that this was absolutely the best thing he had ever eaten in his life!

"Hmm... Can I take some home?" Naruto asked, raising his hand as he ate. "I want to take some back for Sakura to try~"

"Sure, Naruto, you're welcome."

Suzuki said with a smile.

He then clapped his hands, and soon two guards from Loulan escorted An Lushan, the former minister of Loulan, to the scene.

Suzuki pointed at the indignant "An Lushan" and said gently:

"This is your mission target—Centipede. He arrived a few years before you and had been running rampant in Loulan under the alias An Lushan. He was captured and imprisoned by me not long ago."

As he spoke, Suzuki turned his gaze to Naruto: "But since you're here, why not take him back? After all, he's a ninja from your world. What do you say, Naruto?"

Naruto, who was engrossed in eating his noodles, looked up and replied earnestly, "Okay, no problem, thanks!"

Afterwards, the three chatted briefly for a while. After finishing their noodles, Suzuki, along with Naruto, Yamato, and the bound "Centipede," headed to the Dragon Vein.

Before long, the three people standing near the dragon vein suddenly began to blur.

Suzuki squinted at the scene, knowing that Naruto and Yamato were about to return to their original world.

but……

Suzuki glanced discreetly at "Centipede" standing between the two, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

This "centipede" had already been modified and, in a sense, had become a puppet for perception. Although it did not currently intend to go to that world, it was always good to have an eye in advance.

"Goodbye, Mr. Yamato, Naruto."

Suzuki watched the two figures gradually fade away and politely said goodbye.

"Ah, thank you, you're such a kind person!" Naruto Rin, carrying large and small bags of Sea King meat, laughed heartily. "By the way, what's your name?"

"Uh, yeah, buddy, you..."

Yamato looked over, but before he could finish speaking, the group vanished from their spot and returned to their original world.

"Hehe, name?" Suzuki chuckled as he sensed the faint aura emanating from the opposite side of the dragon vein.

These two visitors from another dimension are already in a very late timeline. The next step is after the Fourth Shinobi World War and the battle against the Otsutsuki clan. At that time, a large number of strange items and abilities will appear. Who knows if they will come back again?

"Bang!"

Suzuki calmly deactivated the transformation and embarked on his journey back to base.

A streak of silvery-white light flashed across the sky at an altitude of 5,000 meters before stopping at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.

Looking down below, Minato Namikaze, Choza Akimichi, Shimi Aburame, and Kakashi Hatake were engaged in battle with the Cloud Ninja. Nearby, there was a large group of baboons tied up with ropes.

"Aren't there baboons in the Land of Fire?" Suzuki pondered for a moment, then quickly guessed the reason: "The Book of Seals? Is Hiruzen Sarutobi taking revenge?"

Watching Minato Namikaze's increasingly refined Flying Thunder God technique below, Suzuki observed with an appreciative expression for a while before leaving the area.

……

Meanwhile, in the Land of Lightning, in the Hidden Cloud Village.

Amidst towering mountains, there is a spacious training ground.

The Third Raikage, A, laughed as he looked at the enormous creature before him: "Hahaha, so this is the crab from Iwagakure? It's huge! Not bad, not bad, it looks quite imposing."

"I wonder how Onoki is doing. I wonder if he's so angry he'll rip his beard off, hahaha..."

As he spoke, the Third Raikage, A, turned to look at the armed baboon beside him.

By this time, the baboons had been trained to be like warriors, each wielding a large machete and wearing armor.

The sight of hundreds of baboons gathered together even evokes a sense of solemnity, almost like that of an army.

The Third Raikage, A, nodded in satisfaction, pointed at the crab, and laughed, "See that? These are the mounts you little baboons will ride from now on!"

It took the baboons a moment to understand the burly man's words, and they immediately cheered, pounding their chests and shouting:

"Waaaaah—"

The Third Raikage, A, watched this scene with a smile in his eyes.

Little baboons, keep it up! Keep working hard, and you'll be the vanguard of Kumogakure from now on!

Just then, not far away, Raikage's secretary, Tsuchida, hurriedly ran over.

"Raikage-sama——"

When the secretary approached, the Third Raikage, A, asked, "Tsuchikage, is there any progress in the investigation of the Hokage Building?"

Tu Tai was panting heavily because he had been rushing.

"Huff...huff...Lord Raikage, uh...sorry, it wasn't that. It's something else I need to report to you!"

"We sent someone there before..."

Tsuchi first recounted how all the Cloud Village teams had perished in other countries.

The Third Raikage, Ai Yue, frowned even more deeply as he listened. Before his secretary could finish speaking, he roared angrily, "What did you say?"

"So many ninja squads haven't returned?"

"Bang!"

The Third Raikage, A, was so angry that he couldn't find a table, so he punched a nearby training rock and smashed it to pieces.

Tsuchikage continued with a wry smile, "Yes, and also, someone discovered Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Konoha ninjas in the Land of Lightning. In addition, spies have sent word that dozens of baboons have appeared in Iwagakure..."

"!!!"

The Third Raikage's chakra erupted!

The terrifying aura stirred up waves, and even the noisy baboons nearby fell silent in fear.

"How dare that old geezer, Onoki?"

"I only stole a few crabs from him, and he actually hunted down dozens of baboons from the Land of Lightning?!"

"And Sunagakure and Konoha, do they really think Kumogakure is easy to bully? Damn it, a bunch of damned bastards!"

The Third Raikage, A, was enraged, his eyes filled with killing intent, and his desire for war surged ever higher!

……

In the Land of Waves, Suzuki has returned to base.

However, shortly after his return, the base received an unexpected visitor.

"What did you say? Madara Uchiha sent you to buy meat from me?" Suzuki was somewhat taken aback, looking at the White Zetsu in front of him with a strange expression.

"Yes, Mr. Ban said the meat was barely edible, only slightly worse than what he used to eat," White Zetsu said with a silly grin.

Suzuki understood instantly.

Given Madara Uchiha's personality, to say it was "barely good" would mean it was very delicious, but to say it was "not so good" would definitely mean he had never eaten such delicious meat before!

The white Zetsu quickly took out another scroll and handed it to Suzuki, saying seriously:

"This is the money Mr. Madara gave me. I don't know how much is in it. Would you like to count it, Mr. Suzuki?"

"..." Suzuki's lips twitched, then he waved his hand: "Thank you, but no need!"

Seeing the stunned White Zetsu again, Suzuki smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that Madara-sensei's first recognition of me would be in terms of cooking skills, hehe. But I don't have that much time to grill meat for him. Zetsu, take some fresh meat back and let Madara-sensei grill it himself."

"Huh? Is that okay?" Bai Jue asked, stunned, as he retracted the scroll.

"Yes, that's fine. Madara's Fire Release is quite excellent, so he'll probably be good at grilling meat too." Suzuki's expression was confident. Then he glanced at White Zetsu and said in a gentle tone, "Alright, Zetsu, go back now. Next time you come, remember to bring a few more of your brothers with you."

"Alright, Lord Suzuki!" White Zetsu burrowed underground and quickly left the area.

A short while later, Yakushi Nonou rushed into the viewing room.

The female secretary first bowed, then reported to her supervisor with a delighted expression:

"Suzuki-kun, the technology for creating artificial Devil Fruits has just been successfully developed!"

"Good! Very good!"

Suzuki stood up, a look of appreciation and satisfaction on his face: "Let's go, let's go take a look at the lab."

"Okay," Yakushi Nonou replied respectfully.

However, just as Suzuki reached the door, he suddenly stopped, paused, and frowned.

"What's wrong, Suzuki-kun?" Yakushi Nonou asked, tilting her head with a puzzled expression.

Suzuki narrowed his eyes slightly.

He sensed that his clone was not in a good condition.

Suzuki carefully sensed for a while, then quickly gathered his thoughts, his expression returning to calm as he replied, "It's nothing. Let's go see how the artificial Devil Fruits are doing."

"yes!"

Inside the room, the two figures quickly disappeared.
