The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze
Were these people reinforcements sent by the village, or were they Konoha Ninja belonging to this time period?
Looking at the young-looking Chōza in front of him, Shinki guessed it was probably the latter!
This is at least good news, proving that the time I am in now is not too far removed from the time I was in before.
Maybe I'll even live to see everyone in the future?
Even with this optimistic mindset, I'm still really angry! (╯‵□′)╯┻━┻
At this moment, the resentment that Shinki harbored towards the missing-nin Mukade intensified several times over!
Chōza looked at the unfamiliar young man in front of him with a puzzled expression. "I'm not much older than you, why are you calling me 'uncle'?"
"And why do you know me, but I don't know you? (¬‸¬)?"
Shinki opened his mouth, wanting to recount his extraordinary adventure.
At this moment, at the very front of Chōza's group, a masked Ninja who appeared to be the captain said, "Now is not the time to investigate this; let's deal with these puppets first!" =_="
As he spoke, the masked Ninja pulled out a strangely shaped Kunai from somewhere, preparing to launch an attack...
Suddenly, Shinki's calm voice rang out from the side. "I'll do it."
Before the Masked Man could leap, Shinki had already completed the hand seals and shouted, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Call--"
A massive fireball erupted from the Shinki's mouth, hurtling rapidly toward the horde of puppets in the sky!
"Boom!!"
The fireball exploded, blasting all the puppets that were flying in the sky to pieces!
Even more outrageous, some of the clay figures that were close to the fireball even liquefied!!
Konoha Ninja: ⊙▽⊙,!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
What kind of move is this?! Are Great Fireball Technique this overpowered now?!
"You... you..."
Chōza was stunned for a long time, unable to recall how such an impressive person could have known him.
Unlike the others who were shocked, the masked Ninja's gaze fell thoughtfully on Shinki's red hair.
Then he suggested, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else and have a proper chat."
Shinki nodded; he also wanted to know the era he was currently in.
After saying goodbye to Sara in the same cave, Shinki left with the masked Ninjas.
Inside the cave, a bewildered Sara murmured, "What a strange Ninja, but he's quite handsome. (●´∇`●)"
"By the way, the grand event is about to begin, we need to hurry up and prepare..."
Rōran City, in a secluded corner.
The Masked Man asked, "You're also Ninja from Konoha, right? But according to my information, the Third Hokage didn't send anyone else to Rōran City."
The appearance of Uncle Chōza made Shinki have no doubt about the identities of these Ninjas, so he told them everything about his time travel experience.
"So, you're from the future?" the Masked Man asked, his expression one of astonishment.
Shinki nodded. "That's very likely, but I don't know if we can ever go back."
The Masked Man patted Shinki on the shoulder, signaling Shinki to relax. "If what you're saying is true... there's always a way. I also know a little about Space-Time Ninjutsu. Once you defeat the Ninja who destroyed the seal and rebuild it, maybe we can go back..."
Shinki nodded. "I hope so."
After saying that, Shinki pointed to the mask on the Masked Man's face and said hesitantly, "By the way, Masked Brother, could you please take off your mask? I feel like you look familiar..."
The reason Shinki had this feeling was because he had seen the Kunai that the Masked Man had pulled out earlier...
Upon hearing this, the Masked Man readily removed the patterned mask from his face.
A face with sharp, angular features appeared before Shinki.
Upon seeing the man's face, Shinki thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."
This person is none other than the Fourth Hokage, Naruto's father, whose name is engraved on the Minato Namikaze Kage Rock in the Hokage Village!
This explains why he understands Space-Time Ninjutsu!
"What's wrong? Did you see me in the future too?" Minato said, seemingly jokingly.
Shinki nodded earnestly. "You will become a great Ninja in the future."
Towards the end, Shinki added, "Your son is one too."
Upon hearing this, Minato immediately became interested. "Son? You still know my son? Will my future son be mischievous?"
Shinki nodded. "Very mischievous."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Minato and his group packed their belongings and prepared to depart.
"Whether you are truly from the future or not, I must remind you to leave Rōran during our mission."
Rōran City is in great danger now.
Minato reminded him.
After saying that, the group disappeared, leaving Shinki standing there with a bitter smile.
"They're really wary."
After Shinki finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Minato said, if he wanted to go back, he had to find Mukade first.
Having come into contact with the seal, I, too, have transmigrated to this era, and it's quite possible that Mukade will do the same!
However, Shinki used his mental power to search almost the entire city of Rōran, but he still couldn't find the cluster of Chakra Mukade...
"Could it be that that guy has already escaped Rōran?"
Shinki thought with some distress.
If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to search the entire Shinobi World to find that guy!
Just as Shinki was pondering his next move, a commotion arose outside.
Shinki stepped out of the corner, jumped onto a High Tower, and looked down over the entire Rōran.
Not far away, there were fireworks, giant mascots of various colors, and all sorts of stalls... People gathered, and the place was brightly decorated, creating a lively and bustling scene!
The crowd seemed very excited, shouting "Her Majesty the Queen!"
Is it a holiday?
Just as Shinki was puzzled, Sara, dressed in formal attire, walked onto the platform of the High Tower in the square and smiled at the cheers of her subjects.
Behind him followed two enormous puppet attendants.
The Shinki that had transmigrated still retained the Great Celestial Empire's love of watching a spectacle, so it didn't rush to leave. Instead, it perched atop the High Tower, eager to see what performances would follow the grand event.
In the square, Sara, with her long red hair, pressed her hands down, signaling the crowd to be quiet.
She spoke, her voice amplified through a specially designed Chakra megaphone. "My subjects, I am Sa... sizzle --"
Sara's voice abruptly stopped! A static noise emanated from the Chakra megaphone!
The nearby Shinki noticed that Sara, who had been standing perfectly fine on the high platform, suddenly fell down!
With the belief in his heart that "acting for justice is not true courage," Shinki reached out his hand!
"Splash!"
Under the influence of Wood Release Chakra, his arm transformed into a giant Vines, extending downwards towards Sara!
The square was in the shadows.
Seeing Sara falling, Minato was about to intervene.
Then, he saw the thick, sturdy Wood Release Vines!!
Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Shocked, Minato looked at his two teammates. "When did another Wood Release Ninja appear in the village?!"
"He really came from the future?!"
"Could it be... that Wood Release has become widespread in the future? Σ( ° △ °|||)"
