How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

“Indeed, your son is training under Kakashi.”

"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei always arrives late, and he's always engrossed in a book written by a perverted sage, but he won't let me read it!"

"Kakashi...is late?"

Minato Namikaze was stunned. He couldn't imagine Kakashi being late at all; it was more like another Uchiha student of his often did this... Could it be that Kakashi had caught Obito's habit?!

No, after this mission is over, we need to correct Obito's habit of being late!

"..."

Miss Fox's expression was somewhat strange, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she didn't know whether she should say something in this situation. She couldn't just open her mouth and say something like, "Actually, Konoha isn't as good as you think. There are so many suspicious things about the Third Hokage, who seems like a good person."

The orphan of a hero is reviled as a second-class resident; the war advantage clearly lies with Konoha; even the powerful Hyuga clan, despite being in the right, couldn't save their leader, requiring his younger brother to die in his place. These are just a few examples. None of this can be simply dismissed as the Third Hokage being old, soft-hearted, or cowardly. Especially considering the early setup that the Third Hokage was the ultimate mastermind, Danzo's character was created solely to scapegoat the Third Hokage—the plot holes are huge!

emmmmm...

"But thinking about it, conspiracy theories don't seem to be a good idea. After all, the later settings show that the Third Hokage was good and Danzo was evil... Oh well, let's stick with the later settings." After all, even Naruto Uzumaki was given the option of being the Child of Destiny and the reincarnation of Ashura in the later stages, which negated all his efforts and beliefs in the early stages. Naruto and Shippuden can only be viewed as two separate works.

You tell Neji that hard work can change your destiny, but in the end, it's not that your hard work changes your destiny, but rather that your hard work is what saves the world. Perhaps the author didn't even know how to make it work for Neji, so it feels very abrupt.

"What's wrong, Miss Fox?" Minato Namikaze noticed that Miss Fox was lost in thought. "Is there something you want to say?"

"No, it's nothing."

Miss Fox pointed at the dragon vein and said, "Need any help? I'm really good at taking things apart!"

Chapter 250 Title

The square in front of the Loulan Queen's Palace.

After a brief battle, this once iconic place of the Loulan Kingdom is now dilapidated. The Queen's tower is broken and crooked, and the square is full of potholes and charred stones.

Madara Uchiha's Susanoo in its skeletal form still easily suppressed the centipede puppet. Its powerful eye power enveloped the centipede puppet, pressing and twisting it into a ball. Even the specially treated puppet wood was cracking and deforming. It was believed that once the centipede puppet was released, all the materials on its body would be unusable.

"It's useless. So what if you destroy this work? My puppet reserves are far beyond your reach!"

Centipede was not flustered.

Having lurked in the Loulan Kingdom for six years, endlessly enslaving male laborers to work for it, possessing an entire underground factory to produce puppets, and having the dragon vein to continuously provide chakra, it is invincible: "Konoha Shura! Do you have enough chakra reserves!?"

Ughh ...

The centipede draws in even more dragon vein chakra to contend with the eye power of Susanoo!

Even with all the Dragon Vein Chakra, it couldn't resist Susanoo in the slightest. But Centipede didn't care. The Dragon Vein Chakra was inexhaustible, while Madara Uchiha's chakra was not infinite. Since Konoha Shura couldn't kill it, it had enough time to fight against this power and break free from the seal on its body. At that time!

"Konoha Shura!!"

The Leaf Village's Shura is still the stepping stone for its centipede-like master to reign supreme in the world!

Under the cover of dense dragon vein chakra, behind the centipede puppet twisted into a ball, a spider-shaped puppet struggled out, tearing through the outer wooden planks under high pressure.

Like waste that had been squeezed to the point of being unusable, the spider-shaped puppet excreted from the centipede puppet and fell to the ground, but strangely, it made no sound and could not be found.

"..."

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow. Did this ninja really think the Sharingan was blind, or did he think he was stupid?

Just as he raised his hand to do something, the fox lady's funny face suddenly flashed into his mind. After a brief moment of thought, Madara Uchiha lowered his hand, pretending not to have seen it.

"Humph!"

...

The people of Loulan have all been replaced by puppets by An Lushan, and An Lushan wants to kill her?

No, no, none of this is true. Minister An Lushan clearly came to Loulan six years ago to help his mother govern the country. He was a kind person who watched her grow up! He was not the person those ninjas slandered, the one who wanted to take her life and secretly used the dragon vein to try to rule the world and start a war!

I will prove An Lushan's innocence!

With unwavering resolve, Her Majesty the Queen of Loulan tirelessly traversed the city, searching house after house for evidence that the people of Loulan had not been replaced by puppets.

"..."

Choza and Shimi, Minato Namikaze's companions on this mission, both hid behind the Queen of Loulan, quietly protecting her from the shadows.

They all knew what the Loulan Queen wanted to do, and they knew it was all in vain. In this Loulan Kingdom, apart from Her Majesty the Loulan Queen herself, there were probably very few truly living people left. The ninja from the future, Centipede, in pursuit of his goal of conquering the world, had likely already enslaved all the people of Loulan, using them as laborers and creating puppets for him.

But this is for the best; the Loulan Queen is far from the battlefield, which will make things easier for them.

By the time the Loulan Queen realized what was happening and decided to go find An Lushan, the famous Konoha Asura was already there, and the battle would have ended long ago. Completing the mission with almost no losses was the best thing that could have happened to their team.

"what!"

Suddenly, the Queen of Loulan was snatched away by a hand reaching out from behind a door! Because in Loulan, a place where chakra flows everywhere, the chakra of ordinary people in those people's bodies is barely perceptible. Even Choza Shimi didn't notice for a moment and fell into the trap of these people, allowing the Queen of Loulan to be abducted into an alley!

"Shimi!"

"Ok!"

Shimi swiftly formed hand seals, and swarms of black insects emerged from his hands, crashing open the closed door at incredible speed. Choza immediately dodged the swarm—

"Local multiplication technique!"

Ding Zuo waved his hand, and his rapidly expanding palm easily pressed the people who had abducted Sarah against the wall.

They were all ordinary people, incapable of resistance, and their weapons were just common farm tools. Moreover, they were all women, which did not seem like the enemy.

However, Ding Zuo remained wary: "Who are you people, and what do you want to do to the Queen of Loulan?"

Just then, Shimi entered, surrounded by a dark swarm of insects that blocked out the sunlight, and the dense flapping of their wings created a strong sense of oppression.

"No, no! Please don't kill me!!"

First, a sturdy girl burst into tears, and the others who were being forced onto Ding Zuo's back also adopted a tragic tone: "No matter what, if we don't get them back, even if it means death—"

Sarah was startled and quickly asked, "You're not here to kill me?"

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Dingzuo and Zhimi exchanged glances, and some of the insect swarm quietly dispersed and secretly lurked into the people's clothes before Dingzuo finally let them all down.

Dingza didn't use much force just now. Even ordinary people in the Naruto world are somewhat unscientific, so he was fine.

"Excuse me, my name is Masako." The crowd that had abducted Queen Sara, led by the woman in charge, removed the headscarves covering their faces. The woman said, "We actually just came to ask Queen Sara for a favor."

"What exactly do you want me to return to you?" Sarah asked anxiously.

Considering what had happened before, Sarah already had a clear answer in her heart, but the kind face of Minister An Lushan in her memory still gave her a sliver of hope.

"What exactly happened?"

"What they want Your Majesty to return to them are the men in their families, their sons, husbands, brothers, and younger brothers."

Upon seeing that the group of people who had removed their headscarves were all women of different ages, Ding Zuo immediately guessed the situation. He glanced at Sarah beside him and sighed, "But even if you come to Queen Loulan, you won't be able to get them back from her, because Her Majesty the Queen knows nothing about these things."

Sarah fell silent.

"As expected." The cold and sturdy girl seemed unimpressed by Ding's answer. A closer look at the faces of these spirits revealed only disappointment—the kind of disappointment one feels when something is confirmed, even though the outcome was already known: "The adults all say the queen of this country is a puppet queen; coming to find her is indeed useless!"

"..."

The words were a bit harsh, but the sturdy girl wasn't wrong.

Having searched numerous residences without finding a single citizen of Loulan, Sara was now unable to utter a rebuttal.

Dingza and Zhimi exchanged a few glances and shook their heads; neither of them was good at this.

However, the problem still needs to be solved. If Queen Sara were to have a change of heart and confront An Lushan, their mission might fail.

"Come with me. I might know where they are. When Her Majesty sees them with her own eyes, she will surely get the answer she wants."

Ding said.

Chapter 251 is my signature move!

"Just keep doing this for half an hour."

A specially made Flying Thunder God kunai sank into the core of the dragon vein, and symbols of unknown meaning appeared around the "dragon eye" as Minato Namikaze injected chakra; "Queen Loulan is not here, I need to seal the connection between the dragon vein and the Centipede along with the dragon vein!"

It seems that the absence of a tsundere girl, a staple of theatrical releases, has quite an impact.

Although Miss Fox had long forgotten how long it would have taken for the Loulan Queen to sever the connection between the dragon vein and the centipede before sealing Minato Namikaze, her intuition told her that it would definitely not have taken as long as it did now, and might even have been just a moment.

After all, Minato Namikaze is a son-in-law of the Uzumaki clan. Besides his signature Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan, he is also a master of Uzumaki Sealing Techniques, and his skill level is definitely quite profound!

"Ah, speaking of which, I just remembered!"

Miss Fox thought of two questions!

"Grandpa Ban and that humming monster came to this era because of the dragon vein. Now that you've sealed the dragon vein, how are we supposed to get back?"

"this..."

Minato Namikaze was stunned. "Yeah, what should we do now?"

Naruto Uzumaki, his future son, is fine. He was sent here because the Cyclops swallowed the seal of the future into his body, triggering the power of the Dragon Vein. As long as he defeats the Cyclops, his son will be sent back to the future normally.

But what should we do with Senior Shura of Konoha and this fox lady?

"I'm sorry, I haven't thought about that either."

Scratching his head, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to stop sealing the dragon vein in this situation.

Miss Fox told me that the Leaf Village's Shura-senpai who came here was someone she had enlightened, who had helped him distinguish right from wrong, and who was now preparing to work with the First Hokage to build a better future for the Leaf Village's Shura-senpai.

If this senior from Konoha Shura can't go back, then that would be a huge problem. There's still a Black Zetsu issue over there that needs to be resolved by the senior.

"It seems the only thing we can do is try to sever the connection between the dragon vein and the centipede. Miss Fox, do you have any clues about the dragon vein's ability to travel through time and space?"

Miss Fox shook her head; she had absolutely no clue about this.

Just like the Humming Monster followed the ancestor of the Loulan Queen, or perhaps her grandmother, to find the dragon vein, and then that person started singing. The woman sang, and the elf and the man traveled through time and space.

To be honest, she didn't even know if the person from the Loulan Queen's grandmother's generation had come to this era with her.

"But never mind. If I can successfully comprehend the feeling that has been holding me back for so long through the Flying Thunder God Technique, then I might not need any dragon veins to help me travel through time and space."

Her intuition told her that this was possible.

Miss Fox didn't know where her confidence came from; her intuition told her that once she successfully mastered this ability, time travel would be as easy as running a 10-kilometer marathon for an ordinary person...

It should be... simple, right?
