The Lost Tower

Despite being an extremely powerful attack, Minato once again dodged it using the Flying Thunder God.

Minato then used his Shadow Clone again to expose the heart of the Great Hundred Legs puppet's body, revealing the Mukade's true form.

At the same time, Queen Sara also controlled the Dragon Vein and shut them down.

"Super-speed regeneration technique!" The Great Hundred Legs wanted to use the Dragon Vein to restore itself, but it discovered that the Dragon Vein had already been severed by Sara.

"Naruto! He can't regenerate anymore! That's his weakness! The rest is up to you!" Minato also dodged immediately.

"Okay! Here I come!" Naruto charged towards the Great Hundred Legs in one go.

"Don't even think about it!" The Great Hundred Legs's hands once again unleashed countless hidden weapons, but Naruto dodged them all. Even when it used a purple shockwave, Naruto ignored it.

"Taiji Rasengan!" Naruto swung the Rasengan in his hand and threw it at the Great Hundred Legs.

"You brat!"

The Great Hundred Legs took the attack head-on, but it didn't expect Naruto's attack to be aimed at its own body!

Then the Great Hundred Legs's body began to disintegrate, and its life was rapidly slipping away.

"Uh!! The Five Great Nations should have been functioning as I wished."

"I will not die in vain. I will destroy you all along with the Dragon Vein."

However, before Great Hundred Legs could finish speaking, someone behind him pierced through Great Hundred Legs body.

"Ah!" Mukade exclaimed in shock, thinking, "Impossible!"

How could I not even be able to self-destruct?

The one who killed the Mukade was naturally Shiyu, and some changes also occurred on Shiyu's forehead. The diamond-shaped mark turned golden and contained a huge amount of chakra, which was the chakra of the Dragon Vein.

"You?! You're still alive?!"

"Impossible! You swallowed so much Dragon Vein power! Why didn't you burst yourself?" The Great Hundred Legs also fell to the ground, struggling as it asked.

Shiyu pointed to his forehead and said, "Besides what I absorbed, the Yin-Yang Release seal sealed away a massive amount of Dragon Vein power throughout my body. Mukade, now you can die in peace, right?"

"Empty Palm!" Shiyu distance, instantly shattering the Great Hundred Legs into pieces.

"So, after I killed the Great Hundred Legs, the Dragon Vein will never go out of control again? Does this count as changing history?" Shiyu shook his head. He didn't think the history he changed was his own history. The World of Naruto should also have the concept of parallel universes.

"Great! We finally stopped the Mukade!" Minato and Naruto supported each other, looking at Shiyu and Sara with indescribable joy.

Then, Yamato rushed in from outside with Kakashi.

"Captain Yamato!" Naruto shouted.

"It seems everything has been resolved, and we don't need to do anything anymore?"

"Everyone!" Sara saw her people too.

"I've absorbed most of the Dragon Vein's power, but this power must be sealed so it can never be used by bad people again," Shiyu said.

Minato nodded and said to Naruto, "Give me the Flying Thunder God Kunai I gave you. I need to completely seal the Dragon Vein."

"Hmm." Naruto handed the Flying Thunder God Trident Kunai to Minato, Minato then walked directly above the Dragon Vein Eye and said, "Seal!" He then inserted the Kunai into the hole.

The surrounding area seemed to have turned into Minato's green chakra, and then the Dragon Vein was completely sealed.

Naruto noticed that his and Captain Yamato's bodies were also beginning to turn white.

"What's going on?" Naruto asked in surprise.

"We defeated the Mukade, the technique was restored, and time has returned to its normal trajectory," Yamato explained.

"It seems you're about to return to your own era. Kakashi, you've successfully completed your mission too," Minato praised.

"Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said in surprise.

"I also saved this Konoha Ninja. He fainted in front of the Rōran Gate, looking pathetic," Kakashi said arrogantly, only to be punched on the head by Yamato.

"It hurts! Why did you hit me?"

"It's nothing, I've been bullied by you all this time, I couldn't help it," Yamato said slyly.

"It's an honor to meet you. And who is this? Could this be...?" Yamato was also incredibly surprised.

"It's regrettable, but it's time to say goodbye." Minato and Shiyu interrupted their conversation.

"How could we... part ways so soon?" Sara asked.

"Huh? Well, Sara, haven't you already done what you were supposed to do? You're already an excellent Queen! Even without our help, you'd be fine!" Naruto encouraged.

"I will never forget Naruto," said Queen Sara.

"In order not to change history, it would be best to erase all our memories of this place," Minato suggested.

"My Dōjutsu can make us both forget each other's spells, right?" Shiyu asked.

"No, wait a minute. Didn't you promise me you'd let me finish what I had to say before you did?" Naruto asked, somewhat impatiently.

"Yes, but not now. We'll definitely have another chance to meet." Minato resolutely refused Naruto: "Teacher Shiyu."

"Why are you like this? I have so much to say to you! If I don't say it now, I'll never have the chance!" Naruto seemed a little anxious.

"One day, I will definitely listen to your story," Minato said to Naruto with a trusting tone.

"Big brother... Big brother, could it be that you are..."

"If I had a son, I would want to raise him to be a ninja like you." Minato seemed lost in thought.

"Naruto! Maybe, just like you said, the towns of Rōran will really be destroyed, but I still have the people of Rōran! For them, I will do what I should do, because that's what you taught me, Naruto!" Sara said to Naruto in her final moments.

"Yes! As long as you have strong willpower, you can definitely do it!" Naruto smiled confidently.

"Sharingan!" At the last moment Shiyu activated the Sharingan's memory-erasing power, and instantly, Minato, Naruto, Kakashi, Yamato, and the others were all directly caught in the Genjutsu.

However, Shiyu lied. Since he was the one who initiated it, he didn't erase his memories. After all, his purpose in existing in this Shinobi World was to change the future.

Naruto and Yamato returned to their world, while Minato and Kakashi remained asleep in the same spot.

They were rescued using the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the two slowly regained consciousness.

"Huh? Where am I?"

How did we get here?

"Teacher Shiyu? What exactly happened? What about our mission?"

"The mission is complete," Shiyu explained.

"What exactly happened, Minato-sensei?" Kakashi asked.

Shiyu took out his Kunai and pointed it at Minato, Minato then discovered the problem.

"I see. I understand now."
