NOVEL NEXT Chapter 47
After saving Naruto, Minato revealed his identity as a Konoha ninja to Naruto.
“You are a Konoha ninja, right? I am also a Konoha ninja.” He said, taking off his mask a little, revealing the forehead protector with the Konoha logo.
“Also, your wounds need to be bandaged.”
…
Deep underground in Loulan Kingdom
There was a person sitting on a seat covered with chakra lines.
It was Bai Zu who traveled through time in advance, so he should be called An Lushan now.
An Lushan showed a meaningful smile: “I didn’t expect to avoid my puppet ninja army. You are quite capable of doing it.”
…
The Minato team took Naruto to a secret alley and helped him bandage his wounds.
“Let’s deal with it like this first. It’s a pity that Taiyi is not here, otherwise I can heal your wound directly.”
“Taiichi? Let me say, brother, who are you?” Naruto looked at the three Minatos. Although Minato had revealed his identity as a Konoha ninja, because all three of them were wearing masks, Naruto still didn’t know. Who are these three people?
“I can’t answer this question for you.” Minato refused to answer Naruto’s question without hesitation. In fact, Minato had some guesses about Naruto’s identity and origin. At this time, it was best to avoid doing something that would affect the future. Things are better.
Seeing that Minato didn’t answer his question, Naruto wasn’t annoyed and just continued to ask: “Huh? So where is this place?”
“This is Loulan.”
“How is this possible!” In Naruto’s mind, Loulan was already in ruins. How could such a prosperous place be Loulan?
Minato didn’t want to get into too much trouble with Naruto on this issue.
“I don’t have time to explain to you in detail. While we are on mission, can you leave this town first? After our mission is completed, we can talk to you.”
In fact, Minato was a little selfish. The speculation about Naruto’s identity made Minato instinctively want to protect the young man.
“Look, turn left over there and you can go out. Got it? We have an appointment.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Minato and the others used the teleportation technique and disappeared.
“Hello?”
Naruto looked at the disappeared Minato trio and struggled to stand up.
Looking at the tall buildings in the distance, Naruto suddenly remembered:
“Speaking of which, where has everyone gone?”
…
On the other side, Kakashi and Taichi, who were separated from the Minato team, also entered Loulan Kingdom from another direction.
“Kakashi, where should we start first?” Taiyi entered Loulan, looked at the tall buildings in Loulan, and asked Kakashi.
“According to Mr. Minato’s analysis, An Lushan must rely on a special device to control the dragon’s veins. We need to find out the location of the special device now.” Kakashi kept looking at the surrounding environment.
“I know that too, but where to start?”
Of course Taichi knows where that special device is. There is a high tower in the center of Loulan. That high tower acts as a signal tower and controls the puppets in the same way that Nagato controls Pain’s Six Paths.
“Dragon Vein is a huge collection of chakra underground. So in order to effectively utilize the power of Dragon Vein, where do you think that device will be?” Kakashi’s eyes stayed on the device that looked like an air vent on the ground.
“You mean, underground?”
Taichi is also very cooperative with Kakashi.
“It seems you are not stupid, let’s go! Let’s go down and take a look.”
Kakashi took the lead and landed on the exhaust vent with a leap.
Taichi let out an unhappy “cut” sound and followed Kakashi to the ground.
“Go in and take a look?” Taichi asked Kakashi looking at the passage in front of him.
“Well, don’t make too much noise.” After Kakashi said this, he began to alert the surroundings.
Taiyi also understood it. He drew out the short knife behind him, injected it with chakra, and cut a gap in the barbed wire at the air outlet like a hot knife cutting through butter. He also did not forget to hold the cut barbed wire in place to prevent it from falling and attracting the enemy’s attention.
Kakashi gave Taichi a thumbs up and jumped out of the hole first.
Taiyi was also very satisfied: “I’m also very detail-oriented, okay?”
Then he looked around to confirm that no one was around, and then jumped down.
When Taichi came to the ground, he saw that Kakashi was ready.
Seeing Taiyi fall behind, Kakashi hurriedly gestured for Taiyi to hide.
Taiyi also immediately hid himself and took back the dagger.in hand.
A burst of footsteps came, and as the footsteps got closer and closer, Taiyi’s hand holding the dagger became tighter and tighter. After all, this was Taiyi’s first real combat, and he would die if he was not careful.
No one would show mercy. Taiyi became more and more nervous and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
At this time, Kakashi gently put his hand on Taiyi’s hand. Kakashi looked at Taiyi. Kakashi told Taiyi with his eyes:
“Trust me, I will keep you safe, don’t be nervous.”
Taichi was gradually infected by the sense of security brought by Kakashi, his body gradually relaxed, and his breathing gradually became easier.
At this time, a figure appeared in the passage, it was the puppet that Naruto had met before.
The two-meter-tall puppet brought a huge sense of oppression to Taiyi. Fortunately, the puppet did not notice the hidden two people and continued to walk away.
Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief until the footsteps disappeared.
“I’m so nervous.”
Kakashi comforted: “Just get used to it. Let’s go. This should be a patrolling puppet. Be careful not to be discovered.”
Kakashi looked around again before leaving the passage. After confirming that there was no danger, he waved and Taiyi followed Kakashi gently.
At this moment, bursts of explosions suddenly came from the ground, which was the sound of Naruto fighting with the puppets.
“Minato-sensei was discovered?”
Kakashi was a little worried about the safety of Minato and others.
Taichi knew that this was not Minato being discovered, but Naruto who had traveled through time and was fighting the puppets, and would be rescued by Minato soon.
When father and son meet, Taichi really wants to see him. If he goes by his current timeline, it will take him more than ten years to see Naruto during the Shippuden period, and the Naruto in his timeline must be the same as this Naruto. It’s different. After all, his time travel has completely changed the world.
“Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be Brother Minato and the others. Even if it is, Brother Minato and their strength will not be a problem. The most important thing for us right now is to find a special device so that we can help. If Brother Minato can’t deal with it, If we go to the enemy, it will only be a disservice.” Taichi comforted Kakashi.
Kakashi rolled his eyes at Taichi: “Of course I know.”
After that, he turned around and left.
Taiyi also rolled his eyes: “I’m trying to comfort you out of kindness, but you still give me a look on my face. I’m treating my kindness like a donkey’s liver and lungs!”
The duo searched underground and found no special device to guide the power of dragon veins. Instead, they found someone that Taiyi didn’t expect.
“Is this a ninja from Konoha?”
Kakashi looked at a cell guarded by two puppets in the distance, where an unconscious ninja lay.
Taichi also looked over and immediately recognized the identity of the man. It was Yamato who had traveled through time with Naruto.
No wonder Kakashi said in the movie version that he saved Yamato. It turned out that Yamato was imprisoned after traveling through time.
“Want to save?” Tai asked Kakashi quietly.
Although Kakashi didn’t know who this person was, he was wearing a Konoha forehead protector and was wearing Konoha ninja clothes. Kakashi decided to save him first.
“Save, but have a plan.”
