The First Parallel Ninja World: Starting with Rin

Chapter 92 The First Parallel Ninja World: Starting with Rin

After the two items underwent evolution, An Lushan visibly changed:

Lin Fan could see that:

An Lushan's original consciousness was unable to withstand the powerful energy of the dragon vein and forcibly lost its last vestige of autonomy:

The bright red heart turned light purple:

After Sally's examination:

The "key" and "lock" can be triggered without a spell.

A final conversation with Sally:

The three arrived at an open space outside the altar:

The chakra blade, radiating purple energy, slowly pierced his heart.

With a hissing sound, countless wisps of dragon vein power surged into a five-meter radius around the three individuals:

The energy gathered into a purple energy ball.

With a loud bang!

Amidst lightning and thunder:

Originally, Lin Fan carried Naruto Uzumaki on his back, Orochimaru carried Yamato on his back, and had a rabbit on his shoulder:

And a floor 2.5 meters deep:

They all disappeared before Sally and the female guard's eyes.

Konoha 50th year.

The Third Shinobi World War entered its later stages:

Minato Namikaze rose to fame in the battle of Kannabi Bridge:

"Obito Uchiha died on the battlefield as a hero":

And a few days after the funeral:

When Kakashi Hatake, who inherited the Sharingan, was searching for Rin Nohara, he discovered evidence that she had been kidnapped by ninjas from another village...

Further investigation revealed:

The enemy turned out to be Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

A flash of lightning and a clap of thunder:

The three of them landed in a forest with a clod of dirt in their hands.

The persistent fog makes the air here humid.

Seeing the change in environment: "It seems we've successfully traveled through time."

I heard Orochimaru's voice:

Minato Namikaze immediately checked Naruto Uzumaki's back:

After completing the journey, Naruto Uzumaki, who had been pale, appeared to have recovered somewhat.

Minato Namikaze revealed his discovery:

Orochimaru nodded, then examined Yamato:

They noticed that the two people's complexions had indeed improved a lot after they traveled through time.

"So, everything Queen Sara said is true?... Just who exactly is Queen Sara...?"

""

Minato Namikaze looked serious.

If Sarah were more reliable:

At this moment, Orochimaru would be just like Minato Namikaze.

But because of Sarah's performance:

At that moment, Orochimaru only had one thought: that the girl had guessed correctly.

Lin Fan looked at the heart and chakra shuriken that had separated again in his hand:

The heart inside had hardened, becoming as hard as a rock.

However, in the center of the heart, there is an extra gap that looks like a keyhole.

"Now we need to determine our location. If something seems amiss, I suggest we run away immediately."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words:

Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze both agreed.

The three of them then tested whether they could use ninjutsu and chakra: "Summoning Jutsu!" Lin Fan even wanted to summon a slug.

With a bang, the psychic communication failed.

"It seems that the summoning spell is unusable."

"I also cannot call out Bunta's name."

Fortunately, apart from psychic magic, which is unusable, all other spells are fine.

the other side.

Kakashi successfully rescued Rin Nohara:

The two walked through the woods.

And in the vicinity of the two:

Groups of hidden agents are pursuing the two.

The sounds of battle cries from the Hidden Mist ANBU kept echoing in my ears:

Seeing Nohara Rin standing to the side, he seemed unsettled.

Kakashi comforted him.

"Lin, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Kakashi completely ignored Rin Nohara's gaze: "I've already promised Obito. I will definitely protect you."

The sound of the two being chased by a group of Hidden Mist members was quite clear:

Even if Lin Fan didn't listen carefully:

At that moment, Minato Namikaze also witnessed this scene through his own senses:

Minato Namikaze's fingers pressed against the floor:

Close your eyes.

"Two ninjas with relatively weak chakra are escaping. And chasing them... there are more than twenty enemies in total... The two are about to be surrounded... Lin Fan, should we go check it out?"

If this were in the world of cultivation or elsewhere:

Lin Fan ignored them and simply ran away with his men.

But when they heard it was Rin Nohara and Kakashi:

That's fine.

I don't eat beef!

Lin Fan smiled and replied, "Go. Why not? Besides, you might even know those two people who are surrounded."

"I...I know him?"

Although Minato Namikaze has now taken Kakashi Hatake as his disciple, the team consists of only Kakashi, who is too young and unwilling to team up with others after transforming into a girl.

Furthermore, Minato Namikaze was developing the Flying Thunder God Technique himself, practicing it frequently every day, and also had to find time to spend with his girlfriend, so he rarely gave Kakashi any pointers throughout the year.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze was not very familiar with Kakashi Hatake's chakra and did not notice it at first.

Seeing Minato's puzzled expression, he said, "Why don't you go and find out?"

The other two arrived at an open space:

Looking down from above:

More than twenty Kirigakure ninjas dressed in Kirigakure ANBU uniforms surrounded two boys and girls from Konoha.

The boy suddenly grabbed his own hand: "Chidori!"

A blue light shone in the boy's right palm:

The sound was like the chirping of a thousand birds at the same time.

The white-haired boy makes a promise to the brown-haired girl:

Without waiting for the brown-haired girl's response:

The white-haired boy charged into the crowd of Hidden Mist ninja:

Chidori's lightning flashed across this bloody and oppressive battlefield.

Lin Fan and Minato Namikaze stood on the tree branch:

Upon seeing this scene: "It's the Hidden Mist Anbu and Konoha ninjas... Wait, that looks like... Kakashi?"

Minato Namikaze's tone was one of shock when he saw the figures on the battlefield.

"What exactly is going on?"

Based primarily on Minato Namikaze's impression, Kakashi was just an 8-year-old boy.

Even if it means becoming a woman.

That was an 8-year-old girl.

But Kakashi was in front of him:

He was noticeably much older than the Kakashi he knew.

And the coldness on his face:

The Kakashi he knew was just a bit arrogant:

The two are completely different.

"It seems we've arrived in the future."

Lin Fan did not immediately conclude that it was "another world".

After all, he wasn't sure if he had left the original world and then the original world had forcibly reversed the plot.

"So, are you going to go to the rescue?... Golden Flash."

Upon hearing this title: "Lin Fan, the Great Ninja, you've also heard about the future from Naruto..."

""

"I heard a little bit."

Some time ago, Lin Fan and Naruto Uzumaki had a few meals together and talked about a lot of information about the future, which was largely the same as in the original work.

The boy on the battlefield is using all his strength to kill every Kirigakure ANBU member who tries to approach Nohara Rin:

The boy in the jungle was doing everything in his power to ensure the safety of Kakashi and Rin Nohara:

The protected girl contemplates how to choose her own fate:

until:

The fighting youths were exhausted.

The open Sharingan became blurry:

They viewed those who needed protection as enemies.

"Chidori... what are you doing, Kakashi!"

A sudden voice interrupted Kakashi's drowsiness.

His hand, which was holding Chidori's, was grabbed and raised high:

The girl who intended to commit suicide had her head held down by another young man.

The white light reflected this scene into the eyes of another boy who had just entered.

Two boys with Sharingan eyes said in unison, "Teacher... teacher..."

'

Seeing that Kakashi had finally regained his senses, he said, "So you still remember I'm your teacher."

Minato Namikaze lowered Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi canceled Chidori; the last Chidori had exhausted his chakra.

Upon seeing Minato's arrival, Kakashi finally felt relieved and fainted.

On the other side, Nohara Rin, who had failed to commit suicide, still wanted to resist, but when she passed Lin Fan and saw Namikaze Minato, the girl stopped saying anything.

The Hidden Mist Anbu were somewhat caught off guard: "It's the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze!"

"Damn it! We absolutely can't let them get away!!"

The Golden Flash still has a significant deterrent effect on the ninjas of the Land of Water.

But because of the three tails:

The members of Kirigakure knew their mission was to lure Kakashi and Rin Nohara back to Konoha's ranks, then wait for the right moment to detonate the explosives, causing huge losses to Konoha.

But if Minato Namikaze were to appear now, even if the Three-Tails were to emerge, with the prestige of the Yellow Flash, there might be a way to stop it.

Several members of the Mist Shadow Anbu rushed up:

Compared to the previous strategy of holding back against Kakashi:

This time, the Hidden Mist Anbu showed absolutely no intention of holding back.

As the flashing of swords and shadows appeared:

Minato Namikaze preemptively threw out a trident-shaped kunai: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

One kunai became countless:

The green light instantly multiplied into countless rays.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that?!"

A wave of resistance arose from the surrounding area:

In the blink of an eye, it turned into several hedgehogs.

But regarding the situation of these individuals:

Far from shaking their morale, several members of the Hidden Mist Anbu actually completed the Water Release: "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Three water dragons soared into the air:

They came from the direction of the four people.

Upon witnessing this scene:

Obito wanted to force his way out.

But because of Afei's resistance:

He could only watch helplessly as the water dragon flew towards the four of them.

A water dragon flew in:

The enormous dragon body almost filled my field of vision: "It's a water dragon bullet... Well, I'll be a little more serious then."

Lin Fan clasped his hands together:

Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

A wooden dragon rose from the ground:

Facing the attack of three water dragons:

The two water dragons were shattered by the wooden dragon's body the instant it appeared:

The last water dragon was bitten by the neck by the wood dragon: "It's not over yet... Wood Release: Wood Barrier!"

Several hidden weapons flew towards them:

Wood rapidly materialized in front of Lin Fan, providing 180-degree protection to a portion of his surrounding area!

A series of thuds and a loud boom erupted from the wooden wall.

Immediately afterwards, the forced-release water cannon transformed into a large jet of water that rushed towards us:

The water flow submerged the wooden wall:

Before the Hidden Mist Anbu could react:

With a loud bang, the ground shook.

Everyone snapped out of their shock.

"Wood... Wood Release... It's actually Wood Release!!"

"Could that handsome young man be the First Hokage?!"

The discussion hadn't even fully begun yet:

The earthquake's fluctuations were more severe:

The spot where the water had been flowing suddenly exploded with a loud bang:

As countless streams of water flew up:

A giant wooden figure crawled out of it.

Uzumaki Afei: "?"

No, that's not how the script goes! Madara's script was supposed to have Obito witness that girl's death, then become corrupted and awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan to help Madara complete his plan, right?! Where did this suddenly appearing "First Hokage" come from?!

Obito: "Amazing... Could it be that the First Hokage has been resurrected?!"

In full view of everyone:

A giant wooden figure stands on the battlefield.

The Three-Tails chakra within Rin Nohara's body, which had been restless, began to settle down in an instant.

The wooden wall opened up:

Lin Fan led the three of them to stand on the wooden figure.

The Hidden Mist Anbu were filled with fear; everyone wanted to run away, but because of their excellent professional ethics, not a single one of them dared to leave.

Department left:

A variety of ninjutsu techniques bombarded the wooden doll's body:

The wooden figure's ruptured opening reverted to its original position thanks to Lin Fan's chakra output: "Master, what should we do with these people?"

The wooden figure heard Lin Fan's voice asking:

Having just escaped death, Nohara Rin asked in disbelief, "Am I dreaming...? How can a wooden doll talk...?"

""

"Do as you please."

Upon hearing this, the wooden figure's eyes seemed to shoot out a white light: "Yes. Those who anger their master will be killed without mercy."

Upon hearing this, the wooden dragon below, which had been motionless, instantly began to boil:

The Mist Anbu, who assumed the Wood Dragon had finished its attack and was no longer moving, were now in danger.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into piglets that looked like they were waiting to be slaughtered:

In an instant:

Wood Dragon broke through the formation of the Hidden Mist Dark Division:

They also grabbed a member of the Hidden Mist Anbu: "Help! Help me!!"

The Mist Shadow Anbu, located inside the wooden dragon's mouth, frantically cried for help:

With the wooden dragon exerting its strength:

With a snap, countless drops of blood burst forth from the sky.

The spurting blood landed on the masks of every member of the Hidden Mist Underworld below:

The smell of blood was incredibly strong.

The body fell to the ground with a thud.

Upon witnessing this scene, he exclaimed, "Impossible! I must be dreaming!"

"Hahaha! How could the First Hokage possibly be resurrected! This is all fake!! I'm going to kill you bunch of imposters!!"

These crazed members of the Shadow Cliff hadn't even had a chance to act yet:

With a loud thud, the wooden figure landed.

When it was lifted again, there was a pool of blood on the ground.

Witnessing the deaths of one after another in the shadows:

Minato Namikaze nervously swallowed hard.

This is the Anbu, the most elite unit in the village. The average strength of the Anbu members who can go out on missions is no less than that of the village's special Jonin.

Rin Nohara was stunned:

This was the first time she had ever seen such a powerful ninja.

Standing on the wooden dummy's shoulders for the first time, Lin Xiaobai excitedly pointed to a Hidden Mist ANBU member trying to escape below: "Wow, there's another one over there!"

Two and a half minutes later:

More than twenty members of the Hidden Mist Gang died.

The scene was covered in blood.

There were hardly any bone fragments left.

There were no enemies left in the arena.

Lin Fan canceled the output of chakra.

In the respectful attitude of the wooden figure and the wooden dragon:

Witness the disappearance of both.

Seeing that Lin Fan was a little out of breath, she asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing. I just used up a lot of energy."

It seems I need to learn hand seals as soon as possible:

Every time he clasped his hands together, his chakra would drain from his body like a flood.

It gives the impression that instead of a syringe, blood is drawn directly from the skin instead of a regular blood draw.

No wonder the First Hokage died right after the fight.

If they fight like this for three days and three nights, they'll probably have to use their life force to keep fighting until they run out of chakra.

"By the way, how long are you going to keep hiding?"

Lin Fan's voice rang out again.

Minato Namikaze didn't speak, but silently looked towards a jungle.

"Let me out!"

At this moment, Obito's voice was almost completely obscured by Tobi's mask.

Uzumaki Afei refused to show up and kept pretending to be dead.

But now I heard Lin Fan's voice:

Whirlpool Afei's face turned pale with fright.

This is terrifying. He had never seen a Wood Release technique with its own consciousness before. And the opponent's current Wood Release abilities completely surpassed his own...

Simply put, he couldn't beat them, and he didn't dare to.

With that in mind, he said, "Obito, you can leave. But you absolutely must not reveal anything about Lord Madara."

Upon hearing Uzumaki Afei's voice, he said, "Okay."

With Obito's consent:

Tobi Uzumaki released the restraints placed on Obito Uchiha:

Obito Uchiha burst out of the forest excitedly: "Sensei! Rin! Kakashi! I'm back!!"

In August of Konoha Year 50, Konoha Hero Obito Uchiha was confirmed to be alive.

Seeing that Obito was still alive, Rin Nohara happily hugged him. Obito was also very happy; it was the first time he had ever hugged Rin.

.

So close:

Meanwhile, Tobi was considering taking the opportunity to use a rooting technique on Rin Nohara, hoping to corrupt Obito into the dark side.

But seeing the look in Lin Fan's eyes, Whirlpool Afei instantly cowered and could only obediently make clothes:

Lin Fan used his wooden clone to summon Orochimaru.

The wood clone arrived and first explained the situation to Orochimaru: "I see... So we've actually arrived in the future of the ninja world?... Alright then. I'll continue carrying Yamato, thank you for your trouble..."

...?

Orochimaru figured that since his wood clones were already there, he might as well carry Naruto Uzumaki along as well.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the wooden clone in front of him turned into a wooden figure:

Orochimaru was so angry that he remained silent for a long time:

Damn! It really is something made by one person!

I waited for about a few minutes:

Two Orochimarus carried two people to the scene.

Seeing Orochimaru's dark expression, Lin Fan pretended not to notice.

He then introduced Orochimaru: "The one sleeping is Kakashi. The one with the white pitcher plant on his body is Uchiha Obito. This girl is Rin."

Kakashi has indeed grown quite a bit:

Orochimaru said resentfully, "It seems to be the future... but what does that have to do with you not coming to help me move people?"

'

Lin Fan suddenly said to the others, "Oh, right. I sense a large group of Konoha ninja arriving. Should we go check out Konoha now?"

Orochimaru: "?"

Minato Namikaze: "Sure. I'd also like to see what I'll look like in the future."

Lin Xiaobai: "I also want to see what I'll look like in the future!"

Hearing what the others said:

Nohara Rin looked shocked: Could these people be from the past? No wonder Minato-sensei always seemed so much younger... and he's ignoring me.

Uzumaki Afei: What?! These people are from the past?! I must find a way to escape from Lin Fan and report to Lord Madara!

Obito Uchiha: "Wait! What do you mean by 'your future self'? And the rabbit is talking! Am I dreaming?!"

Obito pinched his own face, and a sharp pain shot through him instantly.

He wasn't dreaming!

When the Konoha troops arrived:

The scene was already a complete mess.

What can still be seen is a strangely dressed boy and a handsome young man with a rabbit on his shoulder. The rabbit is talking to the strangely dressed boy.

Kakashi and Rin knew each other.

After all, this support mission was specifically to assist Kakashi.

However, Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze appeared at the scene.

This truly shocked and stunned a group of people.

Orochimaru-senpai was in the village, wasn't he? Wasn't Minato, the Jonin, supposed to be ambushing the Land of Lightning's raiding party at the border? How come these two are in the Land of Water?!

The group returned to the border of the Land of Fire by boat.

The road was safe, with no harassment from the Hidden Mist ninja.

Perhaps it's because this plan wasn't about war, but rather a clandestine conspiracy.

Even if there are traces of fog and shadows at the scene:

However, Kirigakure did not take action against any important figures in Konoha.

Therefore, even if Konoha knew about this, as long as Kirigakure did not attack the border forces of the Land of Fire, Konoha would have no reason to attack the Land of Water.

Of course, if Konoha has the courage to continue the Third Shinobi World War for the sake of a single Konoha ninja, then that's another story.

The problem is that the current Hokage is not Minato Namikaze.

While Lin Fan and his group were on the boat:

Naruto and Yamato woke up.

"Damn it, where am I?"

"Huh? Where's my noodles?"

The two voices were heard:

Minato immediately went to see a doctor.

The doctor came over and examined the two of them, saying, "There's nothing wrong with them. Just get plenty of rest and pay attention to your diet."

"Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome, Jonin Minato."

The medical ninja left with a white medical kit.

Minato waved to the medical ninja.

"Father, what's going on? I feel like I slept for a very long time."

Upon hearing Naruto's question:

Minato helplessly told Naruto and Yamato about the two men's unconsciousness.

Hearing himself fall into a coma:

The two were also very surprised.

on the deck.

Lin Fan stood by the railing, enjoying the sea breeze: "I heard Naruto and Yamato woke up, aren't we going to go see them?"

Orochimaru, standing to the side, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Going won't do any good. That's not something that scientific instruments can detect. The important thing now is to consider what we're going to do in Konoha next."

2

Lin Fan nodded.

If the goal is just to visit Konoha, then this journey would be a waste:

After all, if he left, Tobi would definitely kill Obito at any time to silence him.

Even if Obito is gone, there's still Runtu:

After selecting the next lucky winner, another "Eye of the Moon" event will be held...

However...

It doesn't matter how the world is.

The key point is that Lin Fan doesn't want to see Hiruzen Sarutobi continue as Hokage.

"Orochimaru, how about we stage a Konoha collapse?"

Hearing Lin Fan's voice:

Orochimaru's expression froze:

Can't you just talk to me about this kind of thing in private?!

At this moment, many eyes were sweeping over the two of them.

the other side.

Madara Uchiha never got to see Obito return, and he didn't even get to see Tobi return.

He decisively sent Black Jue to the scene to investigate.

Black Zetsu accepted the order to go find:

When they found the scene, only a group of Shadowy Shadows were cleaning it up.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that Ah Fei had left his traces in a nearby jungle.

.

A picture of a lazy sheep's head is drawn on a tree trunk, with a downward arrow pointing at three English letters:

SOS

A question mark slowly appeared above Black Zetsu's head: "?"

a few days later.

Lin Fan and his group finally returned to Konoha Village from the border.

"I'm back! This time, I'm going to become Hokage!"

"Idiot. You're in this state, and you still want to be Hokage."

"Alright, Kakashi, don't talk about Obito like that. Obito tried his best too."

Seeing the three boys' excitement: "It used to be like this every time Jiraiya, Tsunade, and I returned to the village after a mission. It's just a pity that things have changed."

"There's nothing we can do. You've all grown up now."

"Lin Fan, hurry up and go! I want to see the grown-up me now."

Lin Fan:

'

""

You're just a rabbit, where did you grow up to be?

The lifespan of a typical farmed rabbit is 2-3 years.

Pet rabbits typically live for 8-10 years.

Now it's five years later.

and so.

Lin Fan and Lin Xiaobai visited the medical department.

Based on my memory, I went to the location numbered XXX and took a look:

Upon seeing the completely unfamiliar farmed rabbit:

Lin Xiaobai: "...Lin Fan, do you think I'm already dead, which is why I'm no longer on the payroll?"

Lin Fan: "...

"...Try to think positively; maybe she's going to live a good life in heaven."

On the other side, a group of people, led by their own ninjas, arrived at the Hokage Building and met the future Third Hokage.

After listening to his subordinate's report:

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said, "It's so similar. If I didn't know you two weren't using transformation techniques, I would have suspected that you two deliberately disguised yourselves as Orochimaru and Minato to play a prank on me."

"Hehe, old man, you're overthinking it. Nobody's that bored."

Judging from his tone, it was definitely Orochimaru. Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "Tell me, how did you get here? And what do you want to do now that you've come to the future?"

"7

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's wary tone:

It seems that I've lost my teacher's trust in this timeline.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru spread his hands nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I just wanted to see my future self and see if Konoha had changed... but when I looked, well..."

Lin Fan's approach was indeed correct.

Who is Lin Fan?

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's question:

Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that it was indeed another world, not the future of their own ninja world.

That's the third world in my understanding.

After a brief exchange, Hiruzen Sarutobi arranged accommodation for Lin Fan and his group.

Upon receiving the news that Lin Fan had visited the medical department's breeding area:

It seems Lin Fan was a medical ninja in the past, and the rabbit beside him might have been obtained from the breeding area... And Lin Fan's relationship with Orochimaru and Minato is so good... Could he be Tsunade's boyfriend? ...But that doesn't make sense. Tsunade clearly hasn't found a new boyfriend... But if that's the case, why do the events of the past and what she knows about the past now completely contradict each other? ...Could it be that these people don't come from the past at all, but from another world?

As Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in thought, Danzo Shimura pushed open the door and entered:

Upon seeing an old friend: "Danzo, what brings you here?"

"I've heard about Hiruzen. There's something strange about the group that came back today. Hand them over to me. I'll definitely find out where they came from."

Hiruzen Sarutobi only hesitated for a second before replying, "No!"

"No matter what, Orochimaru and Minato are both Konoha ninja. Even if they come from the past, they are still members of Konoha! I absolutely will not allow you to harm them!"

"Hiruzen!"

"I said no, and that means no!"

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's resolute expression:

Danzo gritted his teeth and said, "You'll regret doing this!"

"But don't forget, I am the Hokage!!"

Danzo then slammed the door and left.

Lin Fan flipped the grilled meat in the grilled meat container:

He finally heard the scene of "you regret my shadow" with his own ears.

.

"You've seen the person, so what are you planning to do?"

Two Orochimarus were sitting in front of me:

The two Orochimarus merely chuckled upon hearing this.

"I didn't do anything. I just wanted to see. Now that I've seen it, I'm satisfied."

"You seem afraid I'll die."

The future Orochimaru saw right through the past Orochimaru's thoughts with a single sentence.

...Nonsense. Why would I be afraid of death? I'm just worried about you.

97

Upon hearing this:

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised by what happened next:

After all, he didn't have so many ulterior motives in the past.

"Looking at it this way, you're much more hypocritical than me... You wouldn't have become Hokage in the past, would you?"

"No, not at all. It was all thanks to Lin Fan that the old man was able to step down. He dragged the other elders down with him, and in the end, Tsunade became Hokage."

Future Orochimaru: "? Tsunade can be Hokage too? I really want to go to the past world and see for myself."

Lin Fan: ...You guys are the same in this respect.

"Brother Lin Fan."

Hearing Naruto's voice: "What's wrong? *smack*"

Hmm, the grilled meat wasn't too overcooked, it was alright. I guess my cooking skills are pretty average.

Naruto ran to Lin Fan's side and whispered, "Why won't you let me tell Grandpa Hokage that Orochimaru wants to kill him?"

Orochimaru paused slightly with his chopsticks in the future: "?"

'

Orochimaru, who had been secretly observing him with a smile, was secretly delighted.

Lin Fan was speechless:

Um, you don't think Orochimaru couldn't hear you at this close range, do you?

""

Naruto Uzumaki: "Didn't you hear me?"

Future Orochimaru: "...I shouldn't have heard that I was going to kill the Hokage."

Thank goodness.

"Brother Lin Fan said he didn't hear me. Wait. How do you know what I said if you didn't hear me? Oh no, Grandpa Hokage is going to die again. No, I have to stop you before I leave!"

See this silly child's comment:

The future Orochimaru glanced at himself and said, "This boy is also from the past?"

Orochimaru (past): "No, he's from the future. Even more from the future than you."

Orochimaru nodded in the future: "No wonder he calls Minato 'father.' I thought Minato had adopted a son in the past. But with this level of intelligence, I always feel he's not Minato's son."

Minato Namikaze pulled back the curtain of the small private room, his tone resentful: "Orochimaru-senpai, I heard everything. Naruto is just too naive. He's definitely not stupid."

Hearing Orochimaru say that about him in the future, and even laugh at himself, "Don't underestimate me. I'm going to be the Hokage!"

'

"...Become Hokage? You?"

Seeing Orochimaru's disdainful expression, he said, "If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight! I happen to have a little grudge against you from seventeen years in the future!"

Orochimaru in the past seemed like a good person:

But this future Orochimaru looks like a complete villain!

So this kid is from seventeen years in the future. I wonder what I'll be like seventeen years from now. 'Future Orochimaru' thought to himself.

After dinner:

Naruto Uzumaki and future Orochimaru had a fight outside:

It's obvious that Naruto Uzumaki, without the Nine-Tails' chakra, would be no match for Orochimaru in the future.

Minato Namikaze forbade Naruto Uzumaki from using the Nine-Tails' chakra:

He couldn't understand how foolish his future self would be to throw a nine-tailed fox into a perfectly healthy child's body.

Regarding Naruto Uzumaki's ability to use the Rasengan:

Orochimaru was quite shocked in the future.

However, what shocked him even more was that when Naruto unleashed the Nine-Tails' chakra, the young man named Yamato used Wood Release to suppress Naruto's Nine-Tails' chakra.

"You know Wood Release? Are you from the past too?"

"I'm not. But I don't want to talk to you about myself."

Given Yamato's attitude:

In the future, Orochimaru suddenly realized that this Yamato must be a member of the Third Hokage's faction, just like Naruto: "You're one of my experimental subjects? Judging by your age... I see. It seems I missed something with the last batch of experimental subjects."

Seeing that his attempt to conceal the truth was ineffective and instead revealed some information to the other party:

Yamato chose to remain silent.

the other side.

Obito Uchiha returned to the Uchiha clan:

Because Obito was still alive, a fierce argument broke out within the Uchiha clan:

.

The main purpose is to target Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan.

But Obito said that it was a gift from him to Kakashi, so it belonged to Kakashi, and that he, Obito Uchiha, would never fail to become Hokage because of this one Sharingan.

Upon hearing this:

Everyone was speechless.

I thought to myself, "Did Obito go crazy after surviving?"

Also, Naruto.

You should become a Jonin first.

Then everyone ignored Obito's opinion and continued arguing.

Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara at Konoha Hospital:

Minato Namikaze and Lin Fan brought over a dinner:

Kakashi Hatake had just finished his physical examination:

Nohara Rinya finished checking the condition of the second seal.

Lin Fan was actually quite curious whether Kirigakure would come knocking on their door demanding the return of the Three-Tails after losing it.

as predicted.

The group stayed in Konoha Village for less than a week.

Two pieces of intelligence arrived separately:

First, the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, successfully halted the attack of the Cloud Village's A and B combination at the border and will soon return to Konoha.

The second piece of news was that the Land of Water had finally discovered that the Three-Tails was not dead, and immediately sent an envoy to demand that Konoha hand over Rin Nohara or return the Three-Tails to Kirigakure, otherwise war would break out.

Of course, both conditions are the same: either way, it's about taking Nohara Rin's life.

The news of these two messages caused great anxiety among many people in Konoha Village.

Especially since the higher-ups knew about this, the two elders advocated handing over Nohara Rin, believing this would allow Konoha to avoid war.

Shimura Danzo remained silent. He didn't agree with the two elders; after all, he sometimes looked down on them. But it was precisely because of their incompetence that he felt special. His silence was simply a way of putting down Hiruzen Sarutobi and, incidentally, retaliating for the humiliation Hiruzen had inflicted on him recently.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately declared, "Let's fight! I haven't even settled the score with Kirigakure for trying to ambush Konoha yet. Now they've captured our Konoha ninja, intending to use them to attack our forces. They failed and now they're trying to blame us, demanding the lives of our Konoha ninja. I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, will absolutely not allow this to happen!"

When Hiruzen Sarutobi uttered these words, coupled with his own imposing presence:

The two elders immediately fell silent:

Danzo Shimura: "?"

Damn it, two useless pieces of trash!

He thought for a moment and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Fighting is fine. But we also need to consider the actual situation in Konoha. As you know, this time in Konoha is similar to World War I. In order to deal with the village's insufficient manpower to cope with the multinational front, we even went against the Second Hokage's will and sent the Security Department and others to be responsible for the operation on one front."

"And now, with our war against the Land of Lightning ninjas still unresolved, we're turning around and continuing our previous war with the Land of Water ninjas..."

Hiruzen, have you considered how many more people will die in this battle? Moreover, the Uchiha clan, who were previously in charge of the Land of Water, lost hundreds of ninjas in the process. Another battle... I'm afraid the Uchiha clan wouldn't agree to it.”

Upon hearing Danzo's words:

The two elders nodded in agreement:

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment.

66

Even so, I still cannot agree.

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was beginning to hesitate, he said, "Hiruzen, leave this to me. Don't worry, I will never force that girl to make a choice."

"No! That's not fair to Lin!"

"She's just a Jinchūriki! And a Jinchūriki who transplanted a Tailed Beast from another ninja village! Nobody knows when she'll unleash her power! Hiruzen! Wake up! I did all this for Konoha!!"

"No means no! I absolutely will not allow you to lay a hand on Lin!"

"6

'

The argument in the meeting room lasted for quite some time:

Neither of them won the argument.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi's repeated hesitations had made Danzo Shimura realize one thing:

It's time for Ninja Darkness to make its move.

and so:

On the eve of Minato Namikaze's return:

Danzo Shimura found Rin Nohara.

This was the first time Nohara Rin had seen village officials, excluding the Hokage, up close.

"Lord Danzo, is there something you need from me?"

The girl's cautiousness upon seeing her:

Danzo thought that this plan should be easy to complete.

Danzo then explained the pros and cons to Nohara Rin:

It also emphasized the trolley problem:

Between an individual and a group of people, who is more important?

After hearing everything, Nohara Rin fell into deep thought.

'

"In short, that's all I have to say. The choice is entirely up to you."

Danzo knew that saying too much would lead to more mistakes.

So after saying that, he left with his men without hesitation.

Konoha was unusually quiet tonight.

Nohara Rin packed her luggage.

Without disturbing his parents, he left only a letter home.

As I stepped out the door, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Are you leaving?"

Rin Nohara was startled by the sound:

Looking up and seeing it was Lin Fan, she patted her chest and said, "I thought the ninjas from Kirigakure couldn't wait any longer and had come all the way into the village to find me..."

""

"Speaking of which, Senior Lin Fan, what are you doing outside my house so late at night... Could it be...?"

'

Seeing Nohara Rin's face suddenly turn red:

Lin Fan looked disgusted.

"Sorry, you're too old. I still prefer you when you were a child."

Nohara Rin:

""

"I'm looking for you just to tell you that if you don't want to leave, you don't have to."

"But I don't want the village to be engulfed in war again. I don't want to see anyone die because of me... I'm sorry, Senior Lin Fan, I was too weak..."

""

The girl was crying out of fear.

Lin Fan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Nohara Rin.

"Alright. Since you're going, then go ahead."

"Senior Lin Fan, aren't you going to stop me?"

"Don't stop it."

'

Actually, I still wanted my senior to stop me.

"?"

"Because a handsome guy blocked my way late at night to stop me from bravely going to my death...it seems like such a romantic thing!"

"You've been reading too many novels. Okay, I'm going back to sleep. Be careful when you walk at night."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, senior."

C

Watching that figure gradually disappear:

Finally, it's all coming to an end.

Thinking of this, Nohara Rin silently shouldered her pack and headed towards the entrance of Konoha Village.

The day after Nohara Rin was discovered to be missing:

Rin Nohara's parents discovered the letter and quickly went to find the Hokage:

Upon seeing the letter, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately realized that Danzo must have found Rin Nohara and made her leave on her own.

"What's done is done, there's no going back. The key now is to send ninjas to bring Rin back!"

"I wonder which team the Hokage plans to send out."

Upon hearing Nara Shikaku's words:

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said, "Since Rin is from Minato's team... then please ask Minato's team to go and get her back."

Nara Shikaku: "?"

Watergate? Isn't the watergate still at the border? Wait, could it be...?
