The Fifth village Hokage:Uchiha Douhuan

Chapter 250: The Past Me Opens the Future's Seal

Originally, Minato had wanted to give the less dangerous task of taking Sāra to seal the Dragon Vein to the two kids, Naruto and Gaara. After all, the team responsible for buying time for the sealing of the Dragon Vein would have to face at least hundreds of combat puppets.

However, Naruto being completely clueless about sealing jutsu was entirely beyond Minato's expectations.

After all, he and Kushina could currently be called the two most proficient sealing jutsu masters in the ninja world. Their son, even if his sealing jutsu proficiency wasn't high, should at least have mastered the most basic sealing jutsu. Yet, Naruto was completely ignorant of it.

Thus, Minato looked at Jiraiya with a questioning gaze. In his view, even if he and Kushina were both dead, Naruto, being taught by Jiraiya, shouldn't be at this level in sealing jutsu.

Jiraiya felt a little guilty under Minato's gaze. After Minato's death, he had been wandering the ninja world. The first time he saw Naruto, Naruto was already eight years old. Then Naruto became Uchiha Douhuan's disciple, and he couldn't interfere much with Naruto's education. After Naruto left the village, he finally had the chance to teach this child something after accepting the mission issued by Uchiha Douhuan, but before they could even start, they had arrived here. So, Jiraiya could only say sheepishly, "This child's teacher isn't me..."

Minato Namikaze glanced with a complicated expression at Naruto, who was extremely excited at the opportunity to fight alongside his father, sighed softly, and then took Naruto and Gaara with him, embarking on the journey to the sealing place of the Dragon Vein in the ancient kingdom of Rōran.

After the group infiltrated the sealing location of the Dragon Vein, they made a new discovery. In this place, a puppet processing factory was also hidden. And the workers in the factory were precisely those Rōran civilians who had been replaced by puppets. At this moment, under the supervision of the puppets, their faces were all filled with numbness. They had been suffering here for a long time.

"That guy named Anrokuzan really deserves to die!" Seeing this scene, Naruto was instantly filled with anger.

"I have to save them," Naruto took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze met Naruto's gaze. From the perspective of completing the mission, ignoring this group of civilians and having their group directly infiltrate the location of the Dragon Vein was the most logical choice. After all, if they acted to save these people, it would inevitably alert the puppet army here, and the battle would start ahead of time. However, if they ignored these people, Minato Namikaze also couldn't guarantee that these civilians could all survive the battle while they were sealing the Dragon Vein.

However, Naruto didn't consider as much as Minato Namikaze. For him, these civilians were a target he had to save no matter what.

Minato Namikaze, with just one look, saw the determination in his future son's eyes. He knew that regardless of whether he agreed or not, his son would act.

[Kushina, our future son is a kind person. In that case, I can't let him down either.]

Minato Namikaze thought to himself, then looked at Sāra, whose face was full of self-blame, and asked, "Your Majesty the Queen, how far is it from here to the sealing place of the Dragon Vein?"

"It's not very far anymore," Sāra said.

"Alright then. Naruto, you and your friend will stay here. The mission of rescuing them in a moment will be up to you," Minato Namikaze said to Naruto with a serious expression. "However, can you wait fifteen minutes before acting?"

"Okay! Leave it to me!" Naruto said, confidently striking his palm with his fist.

"Minato, this..." Shibi Aburame wanted to say something but hesitated. If they split their forces again at this time, their mission would have many more variables.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Minato Namikaze nodded towards Shibi Aburame.

Seeing this, Shibi Aburame also said no more. After all, on this mission, Minato Namikaze was the captain.

After Minato Namikaze and his team left, Naruto and Gaara found a place to hide in a corner of this factory.

"In a moment, I'll lure these puppets away, and you go break their shackles. No problem, right?" Naruto said to Gaara.

"That's no problem, but why are you taking the risk? The life and death of these people don't seem to have anything to do with us," Gaara said with some confusion.

"Because right now, they need my help," Naruto said with a smile.

"Just because of that?" Gaara didn't quite understand.

"Isn't that enough?" Naruto nodded. "Gaara, your father has always treated you as a weapon, but now, no one will look at you like that anymore. How you use your power should be decided by you. If you haven't decided where your power should be used for the time being, then temporarily use it to protect others."

"To protect?" After hearing Naruto's words, Gaara looked down at his own hands. In the past, these hands were stained with the blood of both enemies and his own people. Under the influence of Rasa's daily indoctrination that he was the village's weapon, Gaara himself also believed so. But now, someone with a similar background was telling him that his power could also be used to protect others.

"Stinking fox, your Jinchuriki really knows how to talk big," in the Tailed Beast exchange space, Shukaku, 24 hours after its last beating, had become defiant again, taunting the Nine-Tails with sarcasm.

"Stupid tanuki, if your skin is itching, you can just tell me directly," inside Naruto's seal space, the Nine-Tails said without even lifting its head.

"Kurama, you're not really going to lend your power to this brat to do such a boring thing, are you?" Shukaku, after being warned, backed down a little and changed its address. However, it still found it very incredible that the Nine-Tails would lend its power to its Jinchuriki to do such a thing.

"Hmph, I like this kid, that's why I lend him my power. As for what this kid wants to do with my power, I couldn't care less," the Nine-Tails said, lying in the seal space.

"Hmph, I, for one, would never give my power to a Jinchuriki to do such a boring thing," Shukaku said.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Naruto, hiding in the shadows, nodded towards Gaara, then transformed into a streak of light and charged out from the shadows. With one punch, he smashed a puppet that was whipping a laborer who had fallen from exhaustion into pieces.

The alarm instantly blared in this puppet factory. The laborers on the production line raised their heads numbly.

Gaara at this time flew through seals. All the sand on the ground gathered in that instant, precisely wrapping around the shackles between the legs of the laborers in this factory.

Gaara's hands clenched forcefully. The sand wrapped around the iron chains instantly tightened. A series of teeth-grinding sounds echoed in the factory. The iron chains on the laborers' feet were shattered in an instant.

At this time, the combat puppets inside the puppet factory also began to converge towards the crowd.

"Everyone, follow him and escape from here!" Naruto shouted loudly to the crowd, then used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to summon hundreds of clones glowing with golden light, blocking the army of combat puppets.

After Gaara reached out and crushed a supervising puppet with his Sand Coffin, a special feeling arose in his heart. Is this the feeling of using one's own power to protect others? It's... not bad.

After a brief daze, Gaara also pulled himself together and shouted towards the crowd behind him, "Everyone, come with me!"

The laborers, freed from their shackles, hurriedly followed Gaara's steps upon seeing this.

Seeing Gaara leading the civilians a certain distance away, a smile also appeared on the corner of Naruto's mouth. Before, he was afraid that making too much noise would hurt the civilians here, so he and his clones were only tangling with these combat puppets. Now that there was no one else to interfere, Naruto could also let loose.

"It's my turn!" Naruto looked up at a large combat puppet in front of him, shouted loudly, and in a few breaths, formed a Rasengan bigger than the puppet's head and smashed it on the other's head.

Before long, this underground puppet factory began to shake violently.

"Naruto's side has started to move. We need to speed up our actions too," Minato Namikaze said calmly, looking at the combat puppet army continuously pouring towards the factory from his side. "Jiraiya-sensei, Shibi, Choza, and I will deal with these big guys. You take Her Majesty the Queen to shut down the Dragon Vein."

"Damn you Konoha ninjas!" At this time, from the direction of the Dragon Vein, Anrokuzan, dressed in battle attire and surrounded by puppets, came before everyone. After seeing Minato Namikaze's figure, a ferocious expression also appeared on Anrokuzan's face.

"Fourth Hokage? Why are you here?" Anrokuzan roared loudly.

"Fourth Hokage?" Shibi Aburame and Choza Akimichi were both stunned upon hearing this and turned to look at Minato Namikaze with disbelief. Their Konoha's Hokage Rock only had three faces, where did a Fourth Hokage come from?

"Are you also from the future?" Minato Namikaze's eyes narrowed slightly, almost instantly deducing the other's origin.

At this time, Anrokuzan also realized that he seemed to have misspoken. However, soon, a fierce look appeared on his face. "Since you know things you shouldn't know, then you can stay here forever."

After speaking, a combat puppet disassembled, wrapped around Mukade's body, and then, Mukade personally controlled this puppet and attacked Minato Namikaze.

"Jiraiya-sensei, Your Majesty the Queen, be quick!" Minato Namikaze took a deep breath. From the ninja tool pouch at his waist, his hands took out a string of Swords of the Shinobi's Affection and threw them in all directions.

"Shibi! Choza! Let's go!" Minato Namikaze shouted loudly, his figure disappearing from the spot. In the next second, his figure instantly appeared behind the puppet controlled by Anrokuzan. Minato Namikaze, who had caught the flying Sword of the Shinobi's Affection, had condensed a Rasengan in his other hand in an instant and smashed it heavily onto the puppet's back.

However, compared to Naruto's brute-force Rasengan usage, Minato's Rasengan only left a few scratches on the surface of this puppet.

The reacting Anrokuzan controlled the puppet to turn around and fiercely attack Minato Namikaze behind him.

Seeing this, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly move behind the other party again. However, this time, Minato's target shifted to the chakra threads behind the puppet.

The chakra threads connecting the puppet snapped. However, Anrokuzan inside the puppet let out a wild laugh at this moment.

"It's useless! If we were outside, this move of yours might still work. But here, so close to the Dragon Vein, I can reconnect with new chakra threads at any time."

Minato, who was temporarily forced back by the puppet's attack, frowned slightly. This kind of enemy that excelled in defense had always been his weakness.

At this time, Jiraiya, who was taking Sāra towards the location of the Dragon Vein, also had a massive headache facing the dozen or so puppets that had surrounded him. If this were in his own timeline, he really wouldn't take these ten puppets seriously.

But now, because he was afraid of summoning the toads from Mount Myoboku in this timeline and thus increasing the number of people who knew about the time travel, Jiraiya could only use his own ninjutsu to forcibly fight a bloody path out.

"Ninja Art! Wild Lion's Mane Technique!" Jiraiya shouted loudly. His head of white hair grew wildly, slashing towards the back of the puppets. This move was not intended to directly incapacitate the puppets, but as long as it could make these puppets' movements stagnate for a moment, he would have a chance to break out of the encirclement with Sāra.

"Super Multi-Size Technique!" At this time, Choza Akimichi also used his family's secret technique. His body suddenly grew several times larger, helping Minato to block the puppet personally controlled by Anrokuzan.

"Shibi! Hurry up!" Choza shouted towards Shibi Aburame while throwing the puppet heavily to the ground with a shoulder throw.

"I know, but the evolution of the insects takes time," Shibi Aburame said while using his chakra to guide his parasitic destruction insects to evolve towards targeting this kind of metal.

"Uncle Choza! I'll help you!" At this time, a resonant voice sounded. A streak of golden light flew over at high speed. At a speed difficult to catch with the naked eye, it kicked the puppet controlled by Anrokuzan, and then, a Rasengan with a diameter of more than ten meters smashed heavily onto the other's face.

"Naruto?" After seeing Naruto, Minato Namikaze was first stunned, then asked, "How are things on your side?"

"I've dismantled all those tin-plated turtles!" Naruto, whose whole body was wreathed in a golden chakra flame, said with a laugh.

"Damn you, little brat!" Mukade, who had taken a Super Odama Rasengan, roared. He once again activated the power of the Dragon Vein. The metal fragments in the entire base flew rapidly towards his location.

In no time, a combat puppet several tens of times larger than the original was formed. Its huge body directly broke through the ground.

"This is way too big!" Seeing this, Naruto looked at Minato Namikaze and pulled up his shirt, "Dad, help me out. Open this seal, and then I'll take him on."
