Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

"arrive."

After descending countless steps, the group finally arrived at the Dragon Vein Altar.

Standing on the outer corridor of the altar, one can see the dragon vein chakra emanating endless purple light from beneath the ground...

"How magnificent! This must be why the inner city of Loulan is so heavily fortified," Jiraiya remarked.

Bai Xing did not refute, "Now, you two outsiders stand outside, and I will take them to the center of the altar."

Don't try any underhanded tricks.

"Keep an eye on the tree and that other guy."

Sunset Clouds: "?"

Who called that person?!

Yuhi Ryuun, who had used a transformation technique, stood on the other side, next to Nawaki, both wearing masks.

"Nawaki." Jiraiya was slightly taken aback when he saw Nawaki's gaze, but the other party only gave Shirahoshi an OK sign indifferently, without responding to him and Minato. In the end, Jiraiya could only sigh helplessly.

In front.

Centipede, being held by Shirahoshi, tried to jump off the dragon vein to die with Shirahoshi, yelling, "Let me go! Let me go if you dare!!"

"Is this person Centipede? He looks like he's disguised." As they approached the center of the altar, Yamato couldn't help but ask, trying to ease the somewhat quiet atmosphere.

Bai Xing did not stop and nodded in response:

“It was him. But his body was gone, so I replaced it with a new one.”

"If Mr. Yamato would also like to experience that, I can put on a show for you..."

"No, no, no—" Yamato waved his hand, thinking to himself, which idiot would want to switch bodies!

"I just asked casually."

"But why did you bring him here, Almighty Minister?"

"Could it have something to do with us going back?" Sai suddenly asked from the side.

"do not know."

"But we found out very quickly."

"ROOM!"

A certain area of ​​light blue space unfolded, and Jiraiya and Minato understood Shirahoshi's purpose.

This is clearly an attempt to study the principles of time travel!

What if this all-powerful guy gets his hands on it...?

Jiraiya's expression turned serious. He exchanged a glance with Minato standing beside him. Minato understood Jiraiya's look, observed Nawaki and another unfamiliar member with a codename, and quietly prepared to imprint the Flying Thunder God technique...

"Do you want to go to jail again, Mr. Minato Namikaze?"

The sudden sound behind them startled them so much that their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests. They quickly put some distance between themselves and turned around to look.

Queen Sally appeared, leaning against the wall behind her.

"You, what exactly are you?"

There's no way he wouldn't notice a living person appearing behind him!

Jiraiya was the same!

"Don't worry, I'm just an avatar." Sally chuckled and waved her hand. "Even if you leave behind the Flying Thunder God Technique formula, this space is still within the inner city's barrier."

"..."x2

The implication is that even if the Flying Thunder God Technique formula were left behind, Minato would not be able to enter using it.

"Haha, I didn't mean that. Queen Sally, you're joking." Minato scratched his head, wishing he could dig a three-bedroom apartment with his toes right now and live there.

Sally's clone smiled without saying a word, her gaze passing over the two of them and looking ahead.

at this time.

The six people arrived at the dragon vein switch in the center of the altar.

At this moment, Shirahoshi also understood something, activated her chakra eyes, and looked at Hyakuju's body.

Even so, the traces that the Chakra Eye could see were still very faint. Only by observing the ROOM space could one discover that Centipede's heart had an extra small switch.

—The centipede absorbed the Minato sealing technique, forming a switch that distorts spacetime.

In other words,

If we kill Centipede at this moment, the four of them can go back.

After observing carefully for a minute, Bai Xing decided to use it, since it was the only way to see through the world-traveling method: "Are you ready?"

"What are you going to prepare?" Naruto asked.

"Have you found a way back?" Sakura Haruno asked.

"Damn it, you want me to go back to that shitty world and be an ordinary ninja?! I won't do it!!"

The centipede tried its best to resist, but Yamato and Sai felt that the centipede was disrespecting the all-powerful minister. After all, they were now his prisoners, so what was wrong with obediently listening to him?

"How ugly."

Shirahoshi didn't bother to say anything, raised her left hand, put on a layer of slime, and turned it into a black glove.

next second.

puff--

The feeling of flesh being torn apart and heart being gripped is exactly what Centipede is thinking at this moment.

The other four: "..." I suddenly don't want to go back.

"Ghana. Mr. Centipede."

Then, the four members of Naruto's team heard a squelching sound like chunks of flesh being crushed. Naruto trembled and hid behind Sai. Sai turned to look at Naruto, who said he was only hiding for a little while, but Sai said, "Don't hide. I'm scared too."

"How cruel." Although Centipede was a rogue ninja, the way he was killed in public and his heart crushed made Sakura Haruno, a medical ninja, frown.

Yamato took a deep breath, preparing for battle... Wait!

At the moment when the centipede's heart was crushed and their lives dissipated, the four people's bodies began to glow.

“We are…” Sai raised his hands, somewhat incredulous.

Seeing this, Naruto turned around as if by telepathy and waved to Jiraiya and Minato in the corridor outside the altar, "Father! Jiraiya-sensei!! Goodbye!!!"

On the outer corridor, Minato made a megaphone gesture and shouted, "Naruto! Your mother told me to tell you to eat well, find a beautiful girlfriend in the future... and, you absolutely must become Hokage!!"

"Father, Mother..." Naruto wiped away his tears and waved his hand, saying, "I will!"

Jiraiya sadly patted Minato, who was shedding tears.

Naruto wasn't a disciple he met at this stage, so in terms of kinship, there wasn't much of a connection between them.

"Jiraiya-sensei, do you think Naruto will become Hokage in the future?" Minato asked quietly as he watched the four people begin to 'ascend' and 'dissipate'.

"Yes, he will. That's your child, Minato," Jiraiya said with a smile. "Won't you be Hokage in the future too?"

"..."

"Jiraiya-sensei, if we do this today, how can I possibly have a chance to become Hokage?" Minato sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya belatedly realized what was happening, raised his forehead, and said, "Who knows? Don't give up so easily, Minato. There's always hope if you try."

Gradually, the four members of Naruto's team disappeared into the air as if their souls had ascended to heaven.

For a long while, Shirahoshi remained standing motionless in the center of the altar.

“Now, we are facing trouble with Loulan and the village,” Jiraiya said solemnly.

“Don’t worry. We won’t hold you accountable for that incident, after all, the person was saved,” Sally said from behind. “Secondly.”

"I hope we can put the matter of the All-Powerful Minister's trip to Konoha on the line and forgive each other."

"Really?" Minato's tone was somewhat surprised, after all, if Loulan didn't pursue the matter, then the Uchiha clan wouldn't have to suffer the villagers' blame.

“Of course.” Sally nodded, her gaze still fixed on the white star at the center of the altar.

At this moment, Bai Xing opened her eyes, a hint of disdain in them.

It turned out to be the case.

"Your Majesty, please escort the two of them upstairs."

"Shu and I have something to talk about."

"Then, please come this way, both of you!" Sally's clone didn't move, and a switch for a secret passage in front of her slowly opened.

Although Jiraiya and Minato still wanted to know if the Almighty Minister had the ability to travel between worlds, this was, after all, the other party's territory, and Queen Sally had just forgiven the village's actions, so they chose to obediently follow along.

Chapter 139 The Future of Konoha

The ruins of Loulan.

Four people emerged from the entrance of the ruined building leading to the Dragon Vein Altar.

"Finally home."

Yamato walked to the exit and sighed.

"I never expected that we would encounter such a situation, and that we would even have our memories returned... I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse." Sai's eyes flickered. You see, he was a private soldier of Danzo's Root organization. If Danzo asked, he would definitely tell him.

By then, the dragon vein might be targeted by that powerful figure.

"Naruto, don't be sad. We should see..." Sakura Haruno tried to comfort Naruto, but found that Naruto was slightly taken aback.

Before the four of them, a pink-haired girl walked out from the corridor of the ruins of Loulan city.

Before the girl could speak, she stared straight at the figure walking out of the entrance, and heard crisp footsteps behind the four of them.

Yamato felt a chill run down his spine and suddenly turned his head to look.

Bathed in the sunlight, his eyes instantly reflected three familiar figures.

"Just as I expected."
