Chapter 101 Naruto and Minato Namikaze meet across time and space.
The tremor just now was the aftershock of Naruto Uzumaki's battle with the puppet.
Uchiha Mitsunori, accompanied by Princess Sara, stood atop a tall tower, watching the battle between the two sides.
A dozen or so puppets surrounded him, some spewing flames, others shooting poison needles. Naruto weaved through the fire and poison needles, constantly changing positions to dodge the attacks.
Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique to kill several puppets. But more puppets flew over from nearby, seemingly endlessly.
Soon, Naruto's arm was cut by the chains and bled, and his breathing became increasingly heavy.
Just as a puppet's steel claw was about to grab him, a golden flash suddenly appeared.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Minato Namikaze appeared beside Naruto, kicked the puppet away, and then put his arm around Naruto's waist before the two disappeared.
"Big brother, who are you?"
Naruto looked at the man in front of him. He was wearing a Konoha Jonin uniform, a Konoha headband, and had the same golden hair as Naruto.
He felt a strange sense of familiarity, but couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Just as Minato Namikaze was about to ask a question, ripples suddenly appeared in the space, like water being broken by a pebble.
Uchiha Mitsunori teleported over with Princess Sara. Sara was still somewhat shaken and clung tightly to his waist.
He activated his Kaleidoscope Sharingan, his gaze sweeping over Naruto, a playful smile playing on his lips: "Little blondie, you can't even recognize this big blondie?"
Naruto instantly bristled, hands on his hips: "I'm not called 'Little Yellow Hair'! My name is Uzumaki Naruto! And besides, I've never seen this big brother before, don't try to figure out who we're related to!"
He felt a little awkward, as he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to the "big brother" in front of him, but he was unwilling to admit it.
With a smile, Uchiha Mitsunori said slowly, "You come from the future. The 'big brother' you mentioned is your father, Namikaze Minato."
"Wh...what...this is impossible..."
Naruto's pupils constricted, and he staggered back a step, pointing at Minato, his voice trembling: "Minato Namikaze is the Fourth Hokage! He's a hero of the village! How could I possibly be his son? I've been an orphan since I was little, everyone calls me the Nine-Tailed Fox... they've always bullied me because I'm a child without parents..."
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze was also stunned and turned to ask, "Advisor Mimine, what exactly is going on?"
Uchiha Mitsumine said casually, "He has the Nine-Tails sealed inside him, along with your and Kushina's chakra. But he doesn't recognize you, so he comes from another parallel ninja world in the future... In that world, you are the Fourth Hokage, and you and Kushina should both be dead, so he wouldn't recognize you! Minato, do you want to know the truth?"
Just as Minato Namikaze was about to nod, the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha Mitsurugi suddenly lit up.
A powerful aura swept over them, and Minato and Naruto felt everything go black for a moment. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a dimly lit sewer space.
There was a large iron gate ahead, and inside the gate was a ferocious and terrifying nine-tailed beast.
"roar......"
The Nine-Tails' roar echoed through the space, its crimson eyes fixed on the three: "Evil Uchiha! What are you doing here? And... Minato Namikaze, weren't you killed by me?"
Uchiha Mitsumon's Mangekyou Sharingan began to spin again: "Nine-Tails, it seems you know quite a bit! Genjutsu: Sharingan!"
The red light entered the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes, and its roar suddenly stopped, its body freezing in place.
Uchiha Mitsunori closed his eyes and quickly searched through Kurama's memories.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and said to Naruto, "Naruto, if you want to see your parents, touch the seal on the stone door. Their shadow clones are preserved inside."
Naruto hesitated for a moment, then reached out his hand.
The moment the fingertip touched the seal, the stone door slowly opened, and a shadow clone wearing a Hokage cloak stepped out.
The shadow clone was also stunned when it saw Minato Namikaze: "How could the real person still be alive???"
Uchiha Mitsunori reminded him, "Minato, quickly go and receive his memories, that way you will know everything."
Minato Namikaze stepped forward and placed his palm against the shadow clone.
As chakra flowed, the shadow clone transformed into a golden light and merged into Minato's body.
The memories within the shadow clone surged like a tide, the images of Naruto being isolated, insulted, and beaten as a child, his hunched body hiding under the covers crying, stabbing at his heart like knives.
The next second, Minato Namikaze's aura suddenly turned cold, his golden chakra mixed with a terrifying killing intent, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Naruto shrank back, startled by the killing intent, and took a half step back, his eyes filled with unease.
Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsunori stepped forward and gently patted his shoulder: "Don't be afraid, he's not targeting you. Before your father died, he entrusted you to Hiruzen Sarutobi to raise, but he not only embezzled your family's property, but also had rumors spread that you were the Nine-Tailed Fox, and only allowed himself to be close to you. Now that he knows how much you've suffered, he's angry that he trusted the wrong person, and even more angry that he couldn't protect you."
Naruto shook his head violently, his eyes reddening: "Impossible! The Third Hokage was a good person! He always took good care of me..."
His heart felt like it was being torn in two, one side being his dependence on the third generation for many years, and the other side being the cruel truth in Sanfeng's words, making it hard for him to breathe.
Uchiha Mitsunori scoffed, his tone dripping with sarcasm: "He persecuted you first, alienating everyone else from you, and then only allowed himself to take care of you? He made you dependent on him, using you as a weapon to control you—that's his way of being good to you. Your parents had a lot of money, all of which he embezzled. And he's killed more people than you've ever seen a ninja. The Nine-Tails can sense other people's malice; when your mother Kushina was pregnant, he went to talk to your parents. At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi harbored deep malice towards your parents."
Minato Namikaze clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and asked calmly yet angrily, "Advisor Mitsumine, are you telling the truth?"
Uchiha Mitsunaga shrugged: "Minato, why are you so upset? This just happened in a parallel world, why would I lie to you?"
Just then, another figure appeared.
She had long red hair and was wearing a green dress.
Naruto stared at her, his mind blank, yet his eyes welled up with tears. A strange sense of warmth surged within him, like a lost child finally finding their way home.
Uchiha Mitsumine's voice softened slightly: "Naruto, she's your mother. Speak quickly, her chakra won't last much longer."
Kushina could no longer hold back. She rushed forward and hugged Naruto, tears streaming down her face. "Naruto, I'm so sorry... Making you the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, making you suffer so much... As your parents, we are truly... truly sorry..."
Naruto stood frozen in place, tears finally streaming down his face.
He hugged Kushina tightly, afraid it was all just a dream: "I don't need your apologies... Even when someone calls me a monster, or I get beaten up... I've never blamed you... It's just... it's just that every time I see other classmates being picked up by their parents after school, I'm so envious... I want my parents to be with me too!"
"I'm sorry...it's our fault...we couldn't be there for you as you grew up..."
Kushina Uzumaki's tears flowed incessantly, and her body began to turn transparent. She hugged Naruto tightly, her voice growing softer and softer: "Naruto, you must live on... Remember, Mommy and Daddy... love you both very much..."
Before she could finish speaking, Kushina transformed into starlight and vanished into the sealed space.
Naruto reached out, but grasped nothing; tears fell into his empty palm... Mom!
A pure killing intent flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes: "Hiruzen Sarutobi, you deserve to die!"
Just then, heavy footsteps came from the end of the underground passage, accompanied by the clicking sound of metal joints.
A tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows... An Lushan, or rather, the Sand Village's traitorous ninja, Centipede.
His expression was cold, radiating a chilling murderous intent.
"Princess Sara, you shouldn't have come here. You especially shouldn't have brought Konoha ninjas... ruining my plans."
Uchiha Mitsumine sneered, "Hey... you boring bastard, you'd better surrender! You're too weak to be a match for me!"
Centipede grinned maliciously, slamming his hands onto the ground: "You're the most arrogant person I've ever met... Since you're so eager to die... Puppet Legion, activate!"
"Rumble..."
The underground walls suddenly cracked open, and puppets poured out from all around.
Soon, the puppets surrounded the area completely, and judging by their number, there were probably hundreds of them!
They wielded sharp blades, had flexible joints, and their eyes gleamed with a scarlet light as they pounced on the crowd!
Naruto Uzumaki, now somewhat corrupted, clapped his hands together and shouted, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
More than five hundred shadow clones appeared in the surroundings in an instant.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
Naruto Uzumaki, who traveled from the future, was only about 14 years old and not very strong yet, so his more than 500 shadow clones were destroyed one after another!
Seeing this, Akimichi Choza, who was standing nearby, used the Multi-Size Technique: Super Heavy Punch to send the giant puppet flying.
Immediately afterwards, Shiki Aburame used the Ninja Art: Insect Ball, releasing a swarm of black insects to tear apart the giant puppet.
The giant puppet quickly fell down and remained motionless, leading everyone to believe the battle was over.
However, countless puppet parts flew rapidly toward the giant centipede puppet.
Centipede's voice twisted and became frenzied: "Hahaha! I feel it... This is the power of the Dragon Vein... You brat from Konoha, you have no idea how great this power is!"
At this moment, his body was made up of countless metal joints, and a dazzling purple dragon vein crystal was embedded in his chest. A continuous stream of energy flowed into his body, making his chakra seem inexhaustible.
Soon, he transformed into a giant puppet over a hundred meters tall, and the entire palace was crushed by his enormous body.
The entire underground palace was trembling, and large amounts of rubble began to fall.
Uchiha Mitsunori picked up Princess Sara again and dodged the rubble.
Seeing this scene that resembled an apocalyptic catastrophe, Princess Sarah rested her head on his chest, her heart pounding wildly.
The gigantic puppet, over a hundred meters tall and transformed into a centipede, let out a maniacal laugh that sounded like metal scraping against metal: "Useless! Kids from Konoha! Everything you've done has been in vain!"
Just then, Minato Namikaze made his move: "Shadow Clone Technique!"
Suddenly, tens of thousands of sword shadow clones appeared in the air, attacking the giant puppet like rain.
The enormous, centipede-like golem, like a shattered cookie, kept breaking apart and then constantly healing itself.
"Boom... boom boom... boom boom boom..."
"Hahaha! Minato Namikaze, your strength is indeed formidable, but you can't kill me!"
Princess Sarah was horrified to discover that the giant golem that was destroyed and resurrected each time grew even larger.
"His power... is growing stronger and stronger."
The entire underground space began to shake again, and countless puppet parts flew in from all directions, causing the giant puppet to grow more than 40 meters taller once more.
The centipede's roar was like the scraping of metal, grating and arrogant: "What cannot kill me only makes me stronger? As long as the dragon vein remains, I am immortal! And your chakra will eventually run out, and the final victory will still belong to me!"
The giant puppet's arms slammed down, instantly cracking the ground and sending debris flying.
Uchiha Mitsunori picked up Princess Sara and dodged again!
Feeling Princess Sarah trembling slightly in his arms, he lowered his head and kissed her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you!"
Princess Sarah was slightly taken aback, then her face turned red.
Uchiha Mitsunori used his superhuman strength technique to throw a Flying Thunder God kunai into the distance, then took out another Flying Thunder God kunai and shot it at the giant puppet.
"Immortality? What if... I sever your connection to the dragon vein?"
Centipede controlled its enormous arms, slapping them from the left and right like swatting a mosquito!
"Snap"
"Uchiha brat, you're like an annoying little mosquito. I can make countless mistakes, but if you make just one, I can swat you dead!"
Even while carrying Princess Sara, Uchiha Mitsunaga moved with incredible speed.
He dodged the blow and said with a smile, "Princess Sara, don't be afraid. I'll show you what true power is."
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Princess Sara stared wide-eyed as Uchiha Mitsumine formed a hand seal with one hand, and then the giant puppet in front of her suddenly disappeared.
In the distance, a huge puppet is falling from the sky!
Immediately afterwards, the two of them disappeared from their spot and reappeared in the sky above the outskirts of the city.
The two people's bodies plummeted rapidly from a height of over 1600 meters.
The intense feeling of weightlessness made Princess Sara's heart pound wildly.
"Princess Sarah, don't you think this is exciting?"
Suddenly, a giant Susanoo appeared in mid-air.
Soon the giant puppet fell to the ground, and Susanoo's feet landed right on its waist, breaking it in half.
The centipede let out a heart-wrenching scream: "No! I'm not reconciled! The dragon vein is mine! Loulan is mine!"
Uchiha Mitsunori, holding Princess Sara, looked at him calmly: "It's all time to end this."
Susanoo raised its great sword and cleaved the giant puppet in two.
