NOVEL NEXT Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Azhdaha Is Doomed
Minato Namikaze was completely dumbfounded.
Just as he was confused, a spatial rift opened, and Prometheus appeared expressionlessly in front of him.
Seeing this young girl appear in such a manner, Minato instantly became alert. A Flying Thunder God kunai appeared in his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Minato Namikaze! Welcome to another world."
Prometheus didn't mind his vigilance and greeted him calmly.
"Another world?" Minato frowned in confusion.
"Yes," Prometheus replied. "This is not the Shinobi World. There's no need for you to be so tense. This place is the central hub that connects to many parallel worlds. It's outside the reality you know as the Shinobi World."
Prometheus began to explain.
Apparently, there were some interesting things worth researching in the Shinobi World—such as the alien Ōtsutsuki clan. According to Prometheus' calculations, they were quite valuable subjects for study.
As the explanation unfolded, Minato gradually began to understand where he was—and he was utterly shocked.
"Can I return? My wife is about to give birth!"
Minato became anxious. Why did he suddenly end up in another world? His wife was about to deliver their baby!
Hearing this, Prometheus tilted her head slightly and answered:
"You can return. But I suggest you wait a moment. Before going back, you should first learn about the future of your world. Otherwise, there's a high chance both you and your wife will die on the night of the childbirth."
"Also, the time flow between our worlds differs, so you don't need to worry too much."
Minato was stunned.
Die? Both he and Kushina would die on the night of Naruto's birth?
Someone just told him he was about to die—along with his wife. That kind of blow left him completely shaken.
But Prometheus didn't explain further. A passage of imaginary space opened up before Minato.
"Please. Mr. Zhongli will explain everything to you."
Indeed, Prometheus had no intention of continuing the conversation. Since Takumi wasn't around, she only needed to greet the newcomer and leave the rest to Zhongli—knowledgeable, dependable, and capable of contacting Takumi.
Zhongli had already been notified.
When he received the request, Zhongli didn't refuse. Of course he knew who Minato Namikaze was, and he was quite interested.
Thanks to his consent, this scene unfolded.
Minato, though anxious, nodded. He managed to calm down gradually. If he could learn the future of his world, it was worth it.
Besides, this girl clearly had knowledge and power far beyond what he knew from the Shinobi World. He also noticed something strange—his chakra was subtly changing.
The change wasn't negative. It seemed just being in this world caused the transformation.
He definitely needed to understand more.
Crossing through the portal, Minato found himself in a bustling city.
As he looked around in wonder, a deep, calm voice called out:
"Over here."
Following the sound, Minato spotted a reliable-looking man—Zhongli.
Surprised, Minato immediately walked over.
"Sit."
Zhongli gestured to a seat and poured Minato a cup of tea.
"Please."
"Thank you," Minato said politely, taking the tea and drinking it.
After he finished, Zhongli finally spoke:
"Mr. Minato, Prometheus already briefed me. Here, take this. Search for 'Naruto' in it. You'll find the information you seek."
Zhongli handed Minato a terminal.
Minato stared at the strange device, puzzled.
Zhongli then patiently explained how it worked and what it could do.
After understanding it, Minato's eyes lit up. He began searching, just as Zhongli instructed—starting with his own name.
A detailed encyclopedia entry popped up.
Seeing his own photo, Minato froze.
He quickly scrolled and read the content, becoming more serious as he did.
Then he searched for Naruto's information—his son. Although he hadn't been born yet, the name had already been decided.
As Minato immersed himself in this knowledge, Zhongli sent a message to Takumi in the group chat:
Zhongli: [@Takumi, your world has a new arrival.] [It's Minato Namikaze.]
Takumi was currently in the middle of relocating another world.
Seeing Zhongli's message, he paused in surprise.
Takumi: [Not a girl?!]
Damn! This time it was a man?
Minato Namikaze, huh? That famously fast guy. Takumi chuckled.
Bronya: [Sorry it's not a girl~]
Fujiwara Chika: [Sorry it's not a girl~]
Sagiri: [So what if it's a guy? You gonna discriminate against men now?]
Megumi Kato: [When will men finally stop being looked down upon?]
The group was speechless. They expected something serious from Takumi—only to see him complain that it wasn't a girl.
Zhongli: [His wife is about to give birth. He's currently reviewing the data.]
Ignoring the banter, Zhongli explained the situation.
Seeing that message, Takumi burst into laughter.
Minato's wife was about to give birth?
Naruto was about to be born?
Takumi: [Azhdaha is doomed!] [Tsk tsk... Chakra turning into Honkai Energy?] [Can Azhdaha even survive this?]
Takumi felt a little sympathy for Obito. With Minato now exposed to Honkai Energy, his power would skyrocket.
That wasn't just a small boost—this was a game-changer.
Honkai Energy could even serve as a substitute for natural energy.
Minato's strength was bound to explode.
Now that he also knew about the future, Obito didn't stand a chance.
Even Hiruzen and Danzo might be doomed.
