The Bloodline of Naruto Uzumaki

After Shiyu disappeared, he searched everywhere, but the Uzumaki Clan's perception told him that there were no humans around at all, and that the "humans" participating in the parade had all been replaced by puppets.

At this moment, on the tallest tower in the very center of the city, a red-haired woman slowly walked to the edge of the tower. She was waving to the people on the ground, but she had no idea that the people on the ground had long since become puppets.

"It seems this is Sara, the Queen of Rōran."

Just then, Sara was suddenly shoved by the puppet guard beside her, and then fell from the high tower, about to die.

At that moment, a blond boy wearing a black and orange jacket suddenly appeared and saved Sara at the last second.

However, Sara didn't seem to appreciate it and even slapped the other person.

"Naruto Uzumaki. He's finally appeared! I wonder if the future will be changed, or if a parallel universe has appeared. It seems we'll have to negotiate." Then, Shiyu appeared before the two of them.

"Huh!? Who are you? Are you here to take her life?" Naruto picked up his Kunai and looked at Shiyu with great tension.

Before Shiyu could make any move...

Just then, the Minato appeared with a whoosh.

"I hope you don't misunderstand, we're here to protect Her Majesty the Queen as well." Minato easily stopped Naruto's reckless behavior.

"Well then, it seems we can talk." Minato then led Naruto and Sara into a spacious corridor with Shiyu.

"The puppets suddenly attacked. Rōran was just a ruin a moment ago, and now it's become such a powerful town. I have no idea what happened. If you know anything, please tell me quickly." Naruto was also completely confused.

Shiyu nodded at Minato.

Minato then said, "In that case, I'll explain to you to the best of my ability." Minato removed his mask and said, "We accepted a classified mission and came from Konoha. Indeed, this is not the Rōran you know."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be someone from the future," Minato guessed.

"The future? You mean the future?" Naruto was shocked when he heard this.

"Well, the reason I didn't want to tell you is that if people from the future were to become involved with this era, the flow of time would be drastically altered. This place is about twenty years ahead of your time, and six years ago, there was a ninja from the future who came here."

It seems that Minato conducted a lot of research during the time he was separated from Shiyu.

"Like you, I was a sudden visitor whose name seems to be Mukade."

Naruto clutched his head, exclaiming, "What?! We're chasing Mukade!! Ugh... what's going on?! I'm totally confused!"

"What exactly happened to you? Can you tell me? Maybe we can find some clues." Minato also intended to ask Naruto directly for the reason.

Naruto then began, "We chased after Mukade all the way to the Dragon Vein, but he absorbed the Seal Technique into his own body, and then..."

"So you and Mukade both used Space-Time Ninjutsu to travel back in time from the future to the present, right?" Minato Namikaze seemed to understand as well.

"I still don't understand. Does that mean I can't go back?" Naruto asked, somewhat nervously.

"Well, if what you say is true, and he absorbed the technique into his body, then as long as he defeats Mukade, time will return to normal, and you might return to the future," Minato analyzed.

"Really!?" Naruto was filled with enthusiasm again.

"In short, we must defeat the Mukade quickly, otherwise the world will become even more distorted."

Shiyu then asked, "Do you know what Mukade was called in this era?"

"What?"

"The Mukade is Anrokuzan, a minister of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran! He is using the Dragon Vein to create the ultimate puppet weapon," Shiyu said directly.

At this point, Sara couldn't hold back any longer. "You people! Stop talking nonsense! There was no such thing as Mukade ninja who came to this town six years ago! Anrokuzan was an outstanding man!"

"As a minister, Anrokuzan inherited his mother's will and worked diligently for this town. Such a peace-loving man would never develop the kind of weapon you speak of."

Shiyu shook her head, somewhat speechless.

"Your Queen, it is with great regret that I say you have been deceived by that man," Minato advised.

"I can't believe such words; you are the ones who are more suspicious!" Sara then turned and left.

"Hey, where are you going?" Naruto asked.

I need to confirm this myself.

"You idiot, weren't you just ambushed and almost killed? This might be Anlu... no, Mukade is behind this!" Naruto said with some concern.

However, Queen Sara had already gone far away.

Shiyu stepped forward and placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, saying, "Hey, how about this? We'll split into two groups. I hope you can protect Queen Sara, while we'll go find Mukade."

Naruto originally intended to do both missions at the same time, but after being touched by Shiyu, he noticed that his body was somewhat different. He didn't know why, but he felt a strong sense of trust in Shiyu, so he nodded and said, "I understand."

"Here you go." Minato also gave Naruto his Kunai, which was marked with the Flying Thunder God Formula.

"This Kunai was specially made by me. As long as you have it, no matter where you are, the two of us can immediately get to your side," Minato said.

"These are Kunai inserted into the Seal Technique. Could it be that this person Naruto was about to speak when Minato interrupted him: "Time is of the essence, hurry up!"

"I see."

"Sara, I'm counting on you," Minato said.

Naruto then left, while Shiyu and Minato went to another place.

Shiyu not only absorbed Naruto Uzumaki's bloodline power, but also absorbed a bit of Nine-Tails's bloodline power. Most importantly, he also sensed Asura's bloodline within the Naruto bloodline he absorbed.

"As expected of this Asura reincarnation!"

This mission was truly worthwhile.

Because if the normal process is followed, it would take another twenty years to absorb Naruto's bloodline power.

After dealing with the bloodline issues, Shiyu said to Minato, "Minato, come with me. I know where the Mukade is hiding."

Shiyu and Minato's destination was naturally the place hidden beneath the entire Ancient Kingdom of Roran, where a massive Dragon Vein extended.

"So that's how it is. They used the Dragon Vein to control the puppets of the entire city?" Minato was also surprised.

"Get ready to cause a huge ruckus! That Mukade named Centipede is definitely going to show up!"
