How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

"'Hmph! A mere piece of trash relying on external forces dares to bark and howl here!?' Uchiha Madara let out a disdainful snort. Although he used his trump card, he still looked down on this shameful centipede puppet from the bottom of his heart. He merely flicked the Susanoo, which had only outlined the skeleton of one arm, and wow!"

*Snap!* Miss Fox struck the "awakening stone" again!

"With a single swing of his arm, the invincible centipede puppet shattered the head into pieces like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting apart. Even the dragon vein chakra couldn't react in time. The mockery he uttered was as laughable as an ant trying to shake a tree. He truly deserves the name of the Leaf Village Asura!"

"enough!"

The Susanoo's bone claws pressed down on the centipede puppet's body, as if casually tossing away a bag of garbage or stomping on a cockroach. Madara Uchiha slammed it hard into the ground, creating a huge hole. The centipede puppet's body twisted and creaked, but it could not break free from the Susanoo's suppression.

Madara Uchiha said coldly, "You transformed your body into a puppet and used the dragon vein to maintain your vitality. The underground of this city is where you produced your puppet army, isn't it?"

"Hahahaha! That's right, that's it! I am immortal, an invincible being!" The centipede puppet quickly repaired a mouth and mocked Uchiha Madara: "I admit I underestimated you, Konoha Shura, but even so, how can you, a mere human, compare to me who possesses infinite chakra?"

"Invincibility is actually a debuff," Miss Fox interjected.

"Hmph, what do you know about infinite chakra, you useless ninja who doesn't even have chakra?" Centipede mocked.

Miss Fox frowned instinctively.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but even though she hadn't had many encounters with this movie's boss, he was inexplicably targeting her.

"Are storytellers really this hated these days?"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha gave Miss Fox a meaningful look; "If the dragon vein isn't severed, this guy can keep repairing himself no matter what kind of damage he suffers. I wonder where the core is hidden."

"Yes, I'm listening." Miss Fox nodded. "And then?"

"..." Madara Uchiha fell silent.

"Indeed, with the support of the Dragon Vein Chakra, even someone as strong as Konoha's Shura-senpai would be in a lot of trouble."

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Miss Fox, although Konoha's Shura-senpai doesn't need it, it's not a solution for us to just watch. If you want to return to your original timeline, we need to find the Dragon Vein. It is said that Her Majesty the Queen of Loulan has the power to manipulate the Dragon Vein."

"Ah, well, wouldn't it be better if we watched Uncle Ban's performance..." Miss Fox scratched her head.

She could have just leisurely watched the play, so why didn't she? Why did she have to find work to do? Besides, returning to the original time was not a problem for her at all.

Just open the chat group...

---

Chapter 248 You must laugh while running the plot; you must run while laughing.

...Where's the chat group!?

Where did such a large chat group go? How did it suddenly disappear?!

This time, Miss Fox was even seriously focusing on the storyline and not chatting in the group, so why did this lousy chat group suddenly collapse at this crucial moment?!

No network connection detected, unable to log in.

“???” (＾?＾)

Miss Fox has never known before that this broken group even needs a network connection.

So, how did the internet connection drop? What technology was used? How was it installed on her? What are the internet fees? And this data plan is terrible; it even disconnects and is in a service area...

Overwhelmed with complaints, Miss Fox is now having a headache!

"Miss Fox, you don't look too well. Is something wrong?" Seeing Miss Fox's sour face, Minato Namikaze also became a little uneasy.

In their brief encounter, Miss Fox gave him the impression of a wise person who was well-versed in history and possessed a wealth of knowledge.

Now, this highly skilled person's expression changed drastically because he mentioned the Dragon Vein, which made Minato Namikaze wonder: "Is there a problem with the Dragon Vein?"

"That's right, Aunt Fox, tell us what the problem is, and we'll work together to solve it. There's always a solution!" Naruto Uzumaki was just going along with the atmosphere and didn't think too much about it.

"Hmph." Even the Hmph Monster made its presence known.

If a normal person were standing here right now, they would definitely be incredibly moved by these three men, or at the very least, they would be touched to some extent.

So here's the question: is the person standing here a normal person?

No, that doesn't make sense at all! Would a normal person have elf ears?!

"...What are you doing? You're not planning to build a harem for me, are you?"

She crossed her arms and backed away, like a vulnerable woman about to be violated: "If you learn some harem techniques, it's not impossible..."

Naruto's eyes lit up. It was the first time he had ever seen a female who didn't dislike his harem technique and even admired it. He was incredibly excited!

"Right, right? The genius ninjutsu I developed is the strongest!"

"...I can confirm the location of the dragon vein. Before we deal with the dragon vein issue, I'll trouble you, Madara-sama, to keep this movie-limited boss, the centipede criminal, company for a while~"

Madara Uchiha casually tossed out a few MP potions, which he caught. He stared at Miss Fox's smiling face for a while before looking away, completely ignoring the Centipede he had suppressed.

Although Centipede had transformed itself, becoming inhuman and connected to the Dragon Vein chakra, making it difficult to completely kill, it wasn't impossible for Madara Uchiha to kill it. However, there was no need. Having secretly developed the Dragon Vein, which possessed the ability to travel through time, within the country for six years, Madara believed that it had more than one trump card for survival. Therefore, why wouldn't he take the more efficient method of severing the Dragon Vein?

He was genuinely concerned about Miss Fox's sudden change in expression.

This shameless golden-haired sprite had been acting silly ever since the negotiations began. Even though she knew that the enemy, the Sage of Six Paths, might be spying on her, she still acted carefree, as if she had no fear of anything and was holding onto whatever trump cards she had. Madara Uchiha just took her for granted.

As a result, Minato Namikaze's expression changed drastically as soon as he mentioned the Dragon Vein. This unpredictable expression was the first time it had ever appeared on the golden-haired elf's face, which really worried Madara Uchiha. Something must have happened to the Dragon Vein, and they would not be able to return to their original timeline for a while!

"Alright, let's forget about Uncle Ban. Come on, I'll take you underground!"

Miss Fox ignored Madara Uchiha's intense gaze; she wasn't going to fall for his affections, simply assuming he was throwing a tantrum. She took the hands of Minato Namikaze and his son, and, manipulating the earth, began their journey to the location of the dragon vein.

The fact that the small, broken group has gone offline means that Miss Fox's escape route has been cut off. Apart from the Dragon Vein, there is no way for her to return to the timeline where the group member Duke is located, nor is there any way to return to the world she first traveled to, or to go back to the previous timeline to chat with the characters in A Certain Magical Index.

All of the above are absolutely unacceptable to Miss Fox!

Even if my inventory is full of game consoles and electronic gadgets bought from Academy City, if there's no place to swim, I might as well just kill her! Turning her into a plush ball would be better than this!

There's no going back, no matter how hard she tries, she can't go back. She could have endured the initial loneliness if she hadn't had that little broken group where she could be the dragon king of the group!

So no matter what, we absolutely have to go and see the Dragon Vein!

"That's right!"

Of course, before leaving, Miss Fox didn't forget about Madara, who was going to stay behind to take on the enemy alone. She wouldn't forget to make a funny face at Madara—"Hehehe!!"

"..."

Madara Uchiha's eyelids twitched involuntarily a few times.

However, seeing that this embarrassing elf was still in the mood to be silly before leaving, there shouldn't be any problems. He just needs to focus on dealing with the guys here.

What did that shameful elf call this guy again? The movie-exclusive boss?

Madara Uchiha couldn't understand it, guessing it was some kind of knowledge he didn't know: "That's really a strange title."

"Hmph, you really think those guys can sever the dragon vein and connect with me?"

The crackling sounds finally stopped. It seemed that Centipede knew it couldn't break free from Susanoo's suppression, and it started chatting with Madara Uchiha: "Only the Queen of Loulan can control the Dragon Veins. Only their bloodline has this ability. And now, only Sara is left in that family. If you think that the puppet army created over six years only consists of this Centipede fighter, you're sorely mistaken! Konoha Shura!"

Crack!

With a slight exertion of Susanoo's bone claws, the invincible centipede puppet crumbled as easily as a potato chip in an otaku's hand.

Madara Uchiha showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, remaining completely unmoved. He seemed to be saying, "Go on, I'm listening," but whether he actually took it seriously was another matter entirely.

He's not stupid. That shameless golden elf didn't care about this at all. No matter how serious the movie-limited boss's words were, he wouldn't distrust the shameless golden elf, who was at least his companion, and instead believe this guy who wanted him dead.

"Here, trash has no right to speak!"

Chakra surged forth, causing the Susanoo's arm to grow exponentially. The immense power broke through the defensive limit of the Dragon Vein Chakra, enveloping the entire Centipede Puppet and forcibly squeezing it towards the center, twisting it into a ball!

"Hahahaha! Just you wait, Konoha Shura! I am immortal and invincible! Even if you can restrain my main body, I can still use my Dragon Vein Chakra to infuse my will into other puppets! Without you, they can't protect Sara at all! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"

The setting for Chapter 249 is subject to change and will be confirmed later!

The roots of the Loulan Kingdom, the dragon vein hidden deep underground, a place that has been visited by few for decades, has now welcomed three uninvited guests.

They didn't use the main entrance, followed the proper procedures, or ask the owner; they simply and abruptly made a hole in the wall, entering from the outside without any warning.

"Ugh, there's another hole here..."

Upon entering, one discovers that this dragon vein is a stone pillar bathed in a large amount of purple chakra, towering in the center. The purple dragon vein chakra is shooting upwards through an eye-like object, providing a continuous source of dragon vein energy to the centipede, which is the source of the centipede's confidence as the movie-limited boss.

In such an environment rich in chakra, Miss Fox almost vomited as soon as she landed.

"Miss Fox, are you alright?" Minato Namikaze rushed forward to help her up. He thought that Miss Fox had exhausted herself carrying them down from the ground to the Dragon Vein, and since she didn't have any chakra left, there might be some consequences.

"It's nothing, just a bit of acclimatization issues..."

He waved his hand, refusing Minato Namikaze's offer of help.

I don't know how much the planet Naruto hates the Otsutsuki God Tree, to the point that even a spirit like Miss Fox has a physiological aversion to chakra.

While it's not incomprehensible, she's just an ordinary transmigrator whose profession is the Earth Goddess. She shouldn't have gone to such lengths to turn her original plan of obtaining chakra and using it as a medium to access space-time ninjutsu into what it is now.

"Phew... whatever."

Taking a deep breath, Miss Fox looked at Minato Namikaze beside her. "It doesn't matter."

"?" Minato Namikaze typed a question mark, completely bewildered.

"Water Gate, the source of the dragon vein is right here. How can we deal with this?"

At the location of that giant eye, in different directions, stood a soldier statue. The statues had no faces, but emitted light that focused on the giant eye.

What's amazing is that the eye is a semi-circle that protrudes from the ground. When the four beams of light shine on it, they don't scatter but instead concentrate into a purple beam that shoots into the sky, transporting the dragon vein chakra that is infused with liquid from all around to power the centipede puppet Gundam above. The accumulated dragon vein chakra doesn't seem to be consumed at all.

"I don't know if it's endless, but just looking at it, I feel that the chakra contained in this dragon vein is really huge. What do you want to do?"

This was still after being consumed by the movie-limited boss, Centipede, for six years. Judging from her feelings alone, Miss Fox couldn't even detect where the bottom was, and even suspected that this dragon vein might really be the result of all the planet's energy conversion.

"The dragon veins provide Centipede with a continuous supply of chakra, and the puppet-making factory built beneath the Loulan Kingdom provides Centipede with a constant stream of replacement and repair parts. Combined, even if Senior Shura of Konoha wanted to kill Centipede, it wouldn't be an easy task..."

Minato Namikaze said calmly, showing no sign of urgency despite the arrogance of the centipede, as if he had everything under control: "However, I was prepared. In fact, before we started the mission, Shiya, Choza, and I actually acted separately."

"Hey, so that means Dad has a companion on this mission?" Naruto asked curiously.

Ever since learning that Minato Namikaze was his father, Naruto Uzumaki has called him "Dad" very naturally, though anyone with eyes could see the complex emotions in his tone. Miss Fox, however, didn't seem to notice. Minato, unaware of Naruto's childhood, only sensed that Naruto's future relationship with his parents wasn't good, but he dared not say or ask.

In short, based on his own personality, he treated Naruto Uzumaki in a very normal way: "Yes, before entering the Loulan Kingdom, I gave him a mission. Dingza, Shimi, and I would openly protect the Loulan Queen to attract attention, while he would destroy the Centipede's puppet manufacturing factory. By now, he should have completed his mission. All we need to do is cut off the connection between the Dragon Vein and the Centipede."

"The one in charge of destroying the puppet manufacturing factory is your teacher, Kakashi," Miss Fox added.

"It's Kakashi-sensei!?" Naruto exclaimed. "Wait, isn't Kakashi-sensei younger than me now? Why is he on a mission with Dad!?"

"Haha, because Kakashi is very outstanding. Don't underestimate Kakashi just because he's only a teenager. He's already a capable ninja who can stand on his own." Minato Namikaze laughed proudly.

After all, it's a student I taught. Even if the person praising me is my future child, I still feel a great sense of accomplishment.

"Naruto, you call Kakashi 'teacher,' so in the future you'll be training under Kakashi?"
