I teach in Naruto, and the system says I am Tsunade's student

Chapter 367 Master Kitazawa's Dream Fulfillment: The Wood Release That Ends Everything (5 chapters combined)
Kitazawa glanced at Hyuga Neji.

He probably guessed what he was thinking.

That was one of his mistakes.

He thought of Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake's regrets, but not Neji Hyuga.

It's not that I didn't think of it, because Kitazawa subconsciously didn't intend to go to Konoha Village.

Konoha Village is populated by many people and has many eyes and ears; going there might have unpredictable consequences for the future.

But since he's already brought Hyuga Neji along, it would be really inexcusable not to lend him a hand.

Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.

He could have Minato Namikaze take Neji Hyuga to Konoha.

Anyway, he has the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Kakashi, go and tell the Loulan residents who saved you that we will go to see the Loulan Queen soon."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Then their relatives who were arrested will be able to come back."

Kakashi Hatake snapped out of his daze, said nothing, and simply stood up and left the room.

Neji.

Kitazawa looked at Hyuga Neji and asked, "Do you want to go back to Konoha?"

"Can I go back?"

Neji Hyuga was taken aback.

When Kitazawa spoke earlier, he told them not to leave Loulan, so as to avoid unnecessary consequences.

After all, they are people from the future.

"You can go back, but the memories of the people you talked to will be sealed after the conversation."

Kitazawa explained, "You know, they are people from the past and cannot retain memories of the future."

Neji Hyuga nodded subconsciously.

He was quiet and precocious, and understood the effects of the distorted timeline without Kitazawa having to say much.

"I want to see my father."

After hesitating for a long time, Hyuga Neji finally made up his mind.

Kitazawa nodded.

"Just meet him once, no need to bother him."

Hyuga Neji added.

Although Hyuga Hizashi was his father, he ultimately did not recognize him.

Furthermore, since a memory seal would be applied after the conversation, it's better not to talk at all.

Kitazawa couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

What a rational and sensible child.

He discovered that all his students were like that, even the usually carefree Naruto Uzumaki was reliable in crucial moments.

Not long after, Kakashi Hatake reappeared.

"let's go."

Kitazawa stood up and said.

Kakashi Hatake paused, a sense of tension creeping into his heart.

The group hurried back.

Kitazawa thought of Aburame Shiki, so he created a shadow clone to inform him.

They quickly returned to the building where Minato Namikaze and the others were.

"Mizu... Minato-sensei."

Kakashi Hatake recognized Minato Namikaze at a glance.

Although he was slightly younger than the Minato Namikaze he remembered, his appearance was basically the same.

Minato Namikaze immediately recognized Kakashi Hatake.

Although he has grown up, his appearance remains unchanged, with white hair and a mask.

But what's wrong with that eye?

Although Kakashi Hatake wore a mask during his childhood, both of his eyes were visible.

Minato Namikaze thought of a possibility and sighed inwardly.

But being alive is the greatest fortune.

"Kakashi."

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "What an unexpected meeting."

Kakashi Hatake looked at that familiar, sun-like smile and felt his eyes well up with tears.

He was plunged into darkness after his father's suicide.

It was Minato Namikaze's warm smile, along with the help of his two teammates, that helped him pull through.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

Seeing this, Kitazawa did not disturb them and led Uchiha Sasuke and the others into the house.

Naruto and the others had already gone to rest, so he told Sasuke and the others to go and rest as well.

However, due to limited rooms, the three of them had to squeeze in.

Fortunately, they've gotten used to it.

Moreover, this is much more spacious than the tent we sleep in when we go out on missions.

Kitazawa didn't sleep; he still needed to talk to Minato Namikaze about Neji Hyuga.

While waiting, he began practicing Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall.

The main problem is that within the room, neither the Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Camellia nor the Wood Release: Cutting Technique can be used effectively.

Kitazawa didn't hide his Ice Release technique.

the reason is simple.

He could easily claim that his Ice Release technique was synthesized by himself.

After all, he can even synthesize Wood Release, let alone Ice Release.

Unfortunately, this method cannot be used for the White Eye and Corpse Bone Pulse for the time being.

They are all special bloodline limits, and theoretically, they cannot be synthesized except through bloodline inheritance.

But Kitazawa used the word "temporarily".

Because there is another possibility: atavism.

Most ninjas in the ninja world share a common ancestor, the Sage of Six Paths, or Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Once Kitazawa becomes invincible, he can claim to have reverted to his ancestral form and reveal his Byakugan, Sharingan, and Shikotsumyaku bloodline limits.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person to have all these bloodline limits at the same time.

Therefore, there is no other explanation besides atavism.

Furthermore, given Kitazawa's strength, they wouldn't dare voice their doubts even if they wanted to.

In short, you still need to have the ability.

Time passes slowly.

There was a knock on the door.

Kitazawa stopped cultivating and stepped forward to open the door.

Standing outside the door is Minato Namikaze.

"Minato-senpai."

Kitazawa raised his hand and said, "Please come in."

"I've already spoken with Kakashi."

Minato Namikaze remarked with a sigh, "I never imagined he'd been through so much."

"War is always cruel."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "Fortunately, the war is over, thanks to the efforts of Minato-senpai and the others."

"With this result, our efforts have not been in vain."

Minato Namikaze suddenly smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this. After all, we haven't experienced any of what you're talking about yet."

Kitazawa nodded.

In this timeline, the Third Shinobi World War has not yet fully broken out.

The reason is that young Kakashi Hatake had not yet teamed up with Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha.

He was able to participate in the Loulan mission because he and Minato Namikaze volunteered themselves.

"But I felt relieved to know that the final victory of the war belonged to Konoha Village."

Minato Namikaze poured two cups of tea and said, "Please have some."

"Thank you."

Kitazawa took a sip of tea and said, "Minato-senpai, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"You said."

Minato Namikaze held a teacup but didn't drink it.

"Is such that."

Kitazawa told him about Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hizashi.

"There is such a thing?"

Minato Namikaze frowned.

In his view, it was clearly Konoha Village's fault, but Hyuga Hizashi was made to die in his place, which was truly wrong.

Minato Namikaze suddenly fell silent.

Was he already gone when this happened?
Because if he were still alive, he certainly wouldn't have let that happen.

"I understand. Then I'll take Neji back to Konoha tomorrow."

Minato Namikaze nodded and said.

The fact that Hyuga Hizashi sacrificed himself is something Konoha Village did wrong to Hyuga Neji.

In a sense, it's also related to him.

After all, he is the future Fourth Hokage.

"The meeting with the Queen of Loulan will be postponed until the day after tomorrow?"

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then asked.

"Ah."

Minato Namikaze reminded him, "But you must keep a close watch on An Lushan. If he makes any unusual moves, you don't need to wait for me."

"I see."

Kitazawa nodded, then thought of something else and said, "Why don't you bring Naruto along too?"

"Naruto?"

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then said, "I've already talked to him quite a bit."

"It's not just you."

Kitazawa said meaningfully.

Minato Namikaze instinctively stiffened.

He was flustered and drank the tea in one gulp.

Although Kitazawa didn't say it explicitly, he already understood.

He was referring to Kushina Uzumaki.

"I understand. You get some rest now, see you tomorrow."

Minato Namikaze stood up and said.

The door is closed.

Nothing happened that night, and before we knew it, a new day had arrived.

After breakfast, Minato Namikaze left with Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga.

"Kakashi."

You Nuzhi withdrew her gaze and asked, "Do you want to go to the Loulan Royal Palace? I can take you there."

"Don't go."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said.

"why?"

Yu Nu Zhiwei was somewhat surprised and asked.

"Nothing to talk about."

Kakashi Hatake replied, "Letting him know too much will only cause him more trouble, and besides, he is a person from the past, whose memories need to be sealed."

"Too."

Aburame glanced at his hidden eyes and suddenly understood something.

Kakashi Hatake was actually unwilling to reopen old wounds.

Some things are painful just to think about, and to talk about them is torture.

"Senior Zhiwei."

Kitazawa changed the subject, saying, "Now that we have time, why don't you teach Shino?"

"This is acceptable."

Aburame smiled and said, "Teaching my son secret techniques in advance is a novel experience for me."

After he finished speaking, he went to find Shino Aburame.

"I'll go teach Sasuke too."

Kakashi Hatake composed himself and said.

He had to do something to stop his mind from being in turmoil.

"Ah."

Kitazawa nodded.

He wasn't idle either; while instructing Hinata Hyuga and Kimimaro Kaguya, he also trained.

……

Konoha Village.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is so convenient!"

Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed in amazement.

"When you grow up, you can try to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Namikaze Minato said with a smile.

"I'll have Kitazawa-sensei teach me then!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded and said instinctively.

In his mind, Kitazawa was capable of everything, including the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Minato Namikaze hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He really wanted to say that Kitazawa didn't know the Flying Thunder God Technique, but after thinking about it again, he didn't say it.

Because he could see that Naruto Uzumaki respected Kitazawa.

Minato Namikaze reached out and patted his head.

If he were still alive, this respect would rightfully belong to him.

However, he felt no jealousy; on the contrary, he was very grateful to Kitazawa.

Without Kitazawa, Naruto's childhood would definitely have been even more lonely.

Neji.

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and said, "I'll have my shadow clone take you to the Hyuga clan."

"Ah."

Hyuga Neji replied absentmindedly.

Minato Namikaze, seeing this, didn't know what to say.

He formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone.

"Naruto, come with me."

Minato Namikaze grabbed Naruto Uzumaki's shoulder and used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Naruto Uzumaki felt his body sway, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in an unfamiliar living room.

"Minato? Why are you here so early...? Who is this?"

Just then, a young woman with long red hair came out.

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Because she saw Naruto Uzumaki.

An indescribable sense of warmth welled up in my heart.

Naruto Uzumaki was stunned and stood there.

He immediately guessed who the red-haired young woman in front of him was, and his emotions surged, his eyes becoming moist.

"Kushina."

Minato Namikaze stepped forward and briefly told her about Naruto Uzumaki's background.

"You're not kidding?"

Kushina Uzumaki looked on in disbelief.

"Didn't you feel it?"

Minato Namikaze remarked, "He has a familiar chakra aura."

Kushina Uzumaki immediately amplified her senses and was instantly struck as if by lightning.

That's the Nine-Tailed Fox.

It is impossible for two Nine-Tails to exist in the ninja world at the same time.

The only explanation is that Naruto Uzumaki comes from the future, and this is the Nine-Tails from the future.

Kushina Uzumaki turned her head and saw that Naruto Uzumaki was already shedding tears.

A sudden pang of pain shot through her heart. She stepped forward and embraced him.

Unlike Minato Namikaze, she quickly accepted Naruto Uzumaki.

"I went to cook."

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze spoke up.

"I'll cook this meal."

Kushina Uzumaki shook her head, stopping him.

Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

"Naruto, what would you like to eat?"

Kushina Uzumaki said confidently, "Your mother can do everything!"

"I...I can do anything."

Naruto wiped away his tears and said.

"Well."

Kushina Uzumaki said with a smile, "Today I'll cook all my signature dishes!"

"Thank you... Mom."

Naruto Uzumaki shouted out the word he had never uttered before.

"You've worked hard. Sit down and rest for a bit. We'll eat in a little while."

Kushina Uzumaki patted his head and said.

"Ok!"

Naruto released her, sat on the sofa, and began looking around.

"Watergate."

Kushina Uzumaki exchanged a glance with Minato Namikaze.

The two people went to the kitchen.

"Naruto, why does he look like this..."

Kushina Uzumaki paused involuntarily.

What she meant was that it seemed like Naruto was seeing them for the first time.

If the parents and son have never met, there's only one explanation.

"We are people of the past, and we should not know about the future."

Minato Namikaze understood what she wanted to say, but he had to say it cruelly, "Once Naruto leaves, I will seal your memories."

"Is that so?"

Kushina Uzumaki turned her head, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

She couldn't imagine how much suffering Naruto Uzumaki had endured.

"Kushina."

Minato Namikaze opened his mouth.

When are you leaving?

Kushina Uzumaki composed herself and asked.

"Next...tomorrow."

Minato Namikaze originally intended to say it would be in the afternoon, but seeing Kushina Uzumaki's expression, he changed it to tomorrow.

"I'll cook for him first."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded and said.

"I'll help too."

Minato Namikaze immediately opened the refrigerator.

Time passes slowly.

"So many dishes?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the huge table full of food and immediately showed a surprised expression.

Normally, two dishes would be enough for three people, but now there are a total of nine dishes.

"How about it?"

Kushina Uzumaki, hands on her hips, asked smugly.

"Mom is amazing!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said.

"The taste is even more amazing!"

Kushina Uzumaki said with a smile on her face.

"Have a taste."

Minato Namikaze handed a pair of chopsticks to Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki scanned the area with his chopsticks, then hesitated before picking up a piece of chicken.

He threw it into his mouth and started chewing.

Kushina Uzumaki looked at him nervously, waiting for his evaluation.

"delicious!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately said.

"That's good."

Kushina Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it's delicious, try to finish it all."

"what?"

Naruto scratched his head and said, "I don't have the same appetite as Hinata and Choji."

Is this your teammate?

Kushina Uzumaki asked curiously.

"I haven't graduated yet, and they are all my classmates."

Naruto Uzumaki explained.

"Then tell me about it."

Kushina Uzumaki smiled and showed an expression of listening attentively.

Even though I know my memories will be sealed, at least this moment is worthwhile.

"Ok!"

While eating, Naruto Uzumaki began telling the story of the genius team.

"Your teacher Kitazawa is really amazing."

Kushina Uzumaki looked at Minato Namikaze and asked, "But why don't I remember him?"

"He was Asma's classmate."

Minato Namikaze replied.

"No wonder."

Kushina Uzumaki's face showed a look of realization.

Kitazawa is still young, so it's normal that she doesn't know.

But like Minato Namikaze, she was very grateful to him.

After all, she knew very well what kind of treatment the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would receive.

Without Kitazawa, Naruto's life might not be as fulfilling as it is now.

It's time for the next day.

Minato Namikaze, Naruto Uzumaki, and Neji Hyuga rushed back to Loulan.

Although there was a discrepancy with the scheduled time, Kitazawa, Shimi Aburame, and the others were all understanding.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then said, "Let's go see the Queen of Loulan now."

"No need to rush."

Bei Ze shook his head and said, "An Lushan is not taking any action for the time being. You all rest first, and we'll prepare ourselves."

"Thank you."

Minato Namikaze replied very seriously upon hearing this.

The biggest contributor to his and Kushina's meeting with Naruto was undoubtedly Kitazawa.

And most importantly, Kitazawa takes good care of Naruto Uzumaki.

"nothing."

Kitazawa smiled and didn't bother them any further.

He sat on the sofa, stretched out his hand, and soon his palm was filled with ice.

"so amazing!"

Hinata Hyuga sat down next to him after he sat down.

With a thought, Kitazawa quickly molded the ice into an ice pop.

He casually handed it to Hinata Hyuga.

"It doesn't taste good."

Hinata Hyuga licked it and said, "Because it's pure ice."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "If you think it's bland, I can add some more for you."

His psychic storage scroll contained all sorts of seasonings.

"fine."

Hinata Hyuga shook her head, then asked curiously, "Is this the same Ice Release as Haku?"

"Ah."

Kitazawa casually said, "I combined Wind Release and Water Release techniques."

"Teacher Kitazawa can do anything."

Hinata Hyuga's eyes flashed with longing.

"You'll be amazing when you grow up."

Kitazawa raised his hand, patted her head, and said.

"Ok!"

Hinata Hyuga said very seriously, "I will do my best!"

The break ended an hour later.

Kitazawa, Minato Namikaze, and the others set off for the Loulan Royal Palace.

Loulan was said to be a country, but in reality it was just a city.

The palace wasn't far, and they arrived at their destination in no time.

"We are surrounded, and there are many puppets nearby."

Aburame's gaze sharpened, and she spoke.

“An Lushan is not stupid. He must have noticed us long ago. It seems that his plan is to wipe us out in one fell swoop.”

Minato Namikaze smiled, not at all surprised.

Moreover, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, the worst-case scenario is impossible.

Even if Loulan is destroyed, he can still take Naruto and the others away.

Moreover, he didn't think An Lushan could defeat them.

There are five Jonin here, as well as six genius students and young Kakashi Hatake.

Just then, Choza Akimichi came out.

"How is the Queen of Loulan doing?"

Namikaze Minato asked.

"very safe."

Akimichi Choji paused for a moment, then said, "Yesterday, An Lushan wanted to see her, but we stopped him outside."

"You did a good job."

Minato Namikaze nodded and said, "Let's go in."

Led by Akimichi Choza, the group arrived at the main hall inside the royal palace.

Queen Loulan, Sara, and young Kakashi Hatake were all present.

Young Kakashi Hatake instinctively looked at Kakashi Hatake.

Who is this? Why does she have the same look as him?

Kakashi Hatake glanced at him, then looked away.

When he sees his past self, he can only think of the deceased Minato Namikaze, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

For him, it was better not to meet at all.

"Your Majesty."

Minato Namikaze took out a scroll and said, "This is our investigation into An Lushan over the past two days."

"Hard."

Queen Loulan accepted the scroll without asking Beize and the others what was going on.

For her, the most important thing was to find out about An Lushan's situation.

An Lushan appeared six years ago. At first, he was very dedicated and managed Loulan in an orderly manner.

It wasn't until one day, when he proposed using the power of the dragon vein to develop Loulan, that she became suspicious.

However, An Lushan had already become a minister of Loulan and enjoyed extremely high prestige.

He, along with other officials, semi-coerced her into agreeing to his demands.

This is why there are so many puppets in Loulan today.

Queen Loulan thought he would stop there, but she did not expect that his ambitions were not limited to Loulan, but extended to the entire ninja world.

Left with no other option, she sent people to Konoha Village to request assistance.

After reading the scroll, the Queen of Loulan's face immediately turned very ugly.

She never imagined that the recent disappearances of residents in Loulan were all the work of An Lushan.

By abusing the dragon veins and arresting residents, An Lushan was already guilty of a capital offense according to the rules of Loulan.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded.

A group of puppets walked in.

Compared to the puppets that Kitazawa and the others had seen, these puppets were much larger.

"An Lushan!"

The Queen of Loulan looked at An Lushan, who was standing at the very front of the puppets, and questioned him, "What do you intend to do?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that some ninjas from Konoha Village are plotting against you, so I have come to your aid."

An Lushan glanced at Minato Namikaze and the others, and said without any politeness, "Arrest them!"

The puppets behind him immediately moved and walked towards them.

"Stop! I invited them!"

"Queen Loulan shouted."

After she finished speaking, she threw the scroll in her hand away.

"An Lushan, I need an explanation!"

"Queen Loulan said in a deep voice."

"There's nothing to explain."

An Lushan glanced at the scroll, then tore it up. "Anyone who hinders the development of Loulan must die!"

"I think you're the one hindering Loulan's development!"

The Queen of Loulan declared without hesitation, "I hereby declare that you are no longer a minister of Loulan!"

"I've heard that ninjas all know genjutsu (illusion techniques)."

An Lushan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you have been bewitched by an illusion. I will come to save you immediately."

"What a blatant distortion of the truth!"

Minato Namikaze said loudly.

"It's no use talking more."

An Lushan waved his hand and said, "Kill them!"

His previous order was to capture them, but now that he has broken ties with the Queen of Loulan, he's too lazy to pretend anymore.

"Choza, you and Kakashi escort Her Majesty the Queen away."

Minato Namikaze immediately made arrangements.

"Yes."

Kakashi Hatake and young Kakashi Hatake answered in unison.

"Cough cough."

Minato Namikaze looked at Kakashi Hatake and said, "You stay and help."

Kakashi Hatake immediately realized he had misunderstood.

Young Kakashi Hatake hesitated, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to ask. He quickly followed Choza Akimichi.

"Do it!"

After Minato Namikaze finished speaking, he immediately threw out a Flying Thunder God kunai.

He vanished from his spot and arrived in front of An Lushan with the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Chakra surged forth, and a Rasengan slammed down.

An Lushan was caught off guard and was hit by the Rasengan.

His clothes were instantly torn, revealing his puppet-like body.

When he came into contact with the Rasengan, purple chakra appeared on his skin.

Boom!
An Lushan was forced back several steps by a tremendous force.

But the Rasengan had no effect whatsoever; he was unharmed.

"Hahaha!"

Upon seeing this, An Lushan laughed wildly and said, "I am no longer human. With the power of the dragon vein, I am an immortal puppet that is neither dead nor indestructible!"

Hinata Hyuga recognized the words.

Hozuki Jōsō, the Oni Kingdom Moryō, and the Zero-Tails from the Void Village were all immortal, but now they have become artifact spirits.

"careful!"

Naruto Uzumaki shouted immediately.

An Lushan unleashed a massive purple fireball, which hurtled towards Minato Namikaze.

"I am fine."

Minato Namikaze swayed and returned to his original position.

This is the elusive Flying Thunder God technique.

The only way to counter the Flying Thunder God Technique is to deflect the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Naruto Uzumaki shouted and created hundreds of shadow clones.

However, the shadow clones did not rush forward recklessly, but instead lined up in front of Minato Namikaze and the others.

"Wind Release Shuriken!"

Naruto Uzumaki channeled his Wind Release chakra into a shuriken and threw it.

His shadow clones are the same.

In an instant, a dense barrage of shuriken covered An Lushan and his puppets.

The sounds of collisions rang out one after another!
Many puppets fell apart under the attack of Wind Release: Shuriken.

"What terrifying chakra!"

Aburame Shiki couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

This was the first time he had ever witnessed Naruto Uzumaki in battle.

Most Jonin cannot create hundreds of shadow clones at once.

I had already seen Minato Namikaze once, so I wasn't that surprised; I felt more proud.

After all, this is his future son.

Moreover, such a massive amount of chakra is clearly inherited from Kushina Uzumaki's talent.

A dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the scene.

Uchiha Sasuke activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and charged out.

He raised Thor's sword and swung it fiercely, and wherever it passed, lightning covered the puppets.

After circling around, he looked at Naruto Uzumaki.

"Truly my nemesis!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "I feel my youth boiling over!"

Multiple arrows!
Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga aimed their attacks at the puppets that were paralyzed by lightning, delivering the finishing blows.

Yu Nuzhi's lips twitched slightly.

Seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that the students in the genius class were even more terrifying than Shino Aburame had described.

"He does have some skill."

An Lushan said calmly.

Although he had lost more than half of his puppets, he remained calm.

With a casual wave of his hand, the entire palace trembled.

"what's the situation?"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly asked, "Is it going to collapse?"

Boom!
The walls of the palace were smashed open on all four sides.

Countless puppets surrounded them.

"This is my puppet army!"

An Lushan spread his arms wide and said arrogantly, "You are the first ninjas to die at their hands, you should feel honored!"

Rasengan!
Minato Namikaze rushed in front of him and hurled a high-speed, compressed, spinning chakra ball.

Puppet Transformation: Puppet Spinning Strike!

An Lushan had already anticipated this.

After all, Minato Namikaze had just used the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan.

A gear-like sound rang out.

Spiraling blades emerged from An Lushan's entire body.

The blade pierced through the Rasengan and headed straight for Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze immediately disappeared.

He returned to his original position, frowning involuntarily.

Although Minato Namikaze's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan made his enemies tremble with fear, he had a rather embarrassing problem.

That is, his attack is insufficient; his most effective offensive ninjutsu is the Rasengan.

Once the Rasengan is no longer effective, he has no way to deal with the enemy.

Like now.

After An Lushan was transformed into a puppet, he became connected to the dragon vein, gaining super strong defensive and regenerative abilities.

Minato Namikaze's Rasengan had absolutely no effect on him.

In fact, it's not just the Rasengan.

In the original work, Naruto's Wind Release: Rasengan Shadow Shuriken had no effect.

Ultimately, it was only through the combined efforts of the father and son, using the Tai Chi Rasengan, that they defeated An Lushan.

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

Naruto Uzumaki then created hundreds more shadow clones.

"Wind Release Shuriken!"

All of Naruto's shadow clones threw out shuriken.

Exploding Arrow!
Hinata Hyuga immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow.

The explosive arrows arrived in front of An Lushan first.

An Lushan grabbed the exploding arrow.

Boom!
The explosive arrow detonated.

But it had no effect on An Lushan.

Because he is now a puppet, not a human.

At that moment, a dense barrage of shuriken followed closely behind.

An Lushan casually waved his hand, and purple chakra formed a solid chakra wall in front of him.

All the shuriken were blocked.

However, the puppets near him suffered the consequences, being reduced to dust by the Wind Release: Shuriken attack.

However, this number has absolutely no impact compared to the almost infinite number of puppets.

"Use multiple arrows."

Neji Hyuga reminded him.

"Ah."

Hinata Hyuga immediately turned her attention to the puppet.

Like her, the father and son, Shino and Shiki, also raised their hands at the same time.

A large number of parasitic insects flew towards the puppets around them.

Although a puppet is an inanimate object, it has joints and other parts.

Under the gnawing of parasitic insects, many puppets lost their ability to move and collapsed.

The shrill chirping of birds sounded.

Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha charged toward An Lushan from the left and right respectively.

They have discovered Minato Namikaze's predicament.

While their Lightning Release: Chidori is not as powerful as the Rasengan, its penetrating power far surpasses that of the Rasengan.

Puppet Transformation: Dragon Vein Fireball!
An Lushan, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for his death.

He tilted his head back and spat out two huge purple fireballs in succession.

Three Magatama Sharingan!

Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha easily dodged the purple fireball.

They leaped up, and the lightning in their hands sliced ​​into An Lushan's body like a knife.

"Get out of here!"

An Lushan's arms sprouted blades, which he used to slash directly at Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha.

The two immediately stepped back, creating distance between them.

Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the two massive penetrating wounds on An Lushan's body inflicted by Lightning Release: Lightning Blade.

Puppetization - Super-Fast Regeneration!
An Lushan's body emitted a large amount of purple chakra.

The massive penetrating wound healed completely in the blink of an eye.

Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, and the others immediately paled, sensing something was wrong.

"If his connection with the dragon vein is not severed, he cannot be defeated."

Kitazawa spoke slowly.

Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly realized a problem.

That is, Kitazawa stood still the whole time and did not use any ninjutsu.

It's impossible to say he can't.

Judging from Naruto's description, Kitazawa must be an elite Jonin.

"We are divided into two groups."

Kitazawa continued, "One side stays behind to block An Lushan, while the other side goes to find the Queen of Loulan to shut down the power of the dragon vein."

"I'll stay."

Minato Namikaze said without hesitation.

An Lushan was clearly the most dangerous.

However, he possesses the Flying Thunder God technique, which can hold off An Lushan.

"I'll stay too!"

"I can't believe it," Yu Nu Zhiwei quickly replied.

"You all leave."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Minato-senpai and I will stay."

"Do you think I don't exist?"

Upon hearing this, An Lushan angrily retorted, "None of you are leaving!"

The nearby puppets immediately intensified their attacks.

"I'll take you there!"

Minato Namikaze quickly said.

In this situation, only his Flying Thunder God Technique can allow him to escape the encirclement.

"No need to bother."

Kitazawa activated Yang Release Chakra Mode and then suddenly clapped his hands together.

He didn't take action before because he wanted to give his students some training.

After all, once he makes a move, there's no going back; Wood Release currently has the power to end everything.

Wood Escape·The Tree Realm is born!

Centered on Kitazawa, the ground trembled, and countless vines flew towards the sky, instantly transforming into towering trees.

In less than a second, the entire palace ruins were replaced by a primeval forest.

"Wood escape?"

Minato Namikaze and Shimi Aburame stared wide-eyed, their faces showing disbelief.

Although Naruto Uzumaki and Shino Aburame mentioned Kitazawa before, they only talked about how Kitazawa taught them ninjutsu, and did not mention Wood Release.

"Are you Kitazawa?"

An Lushan blurted out.

He came from Sunagakure, so he naturally knew Kitazawa's reputation as a Wood Release ninja.

But he never expected that he would end up in Loulan and become its enemy.

"So what if it's Wood Release?"

An Lushan realized what was happening and shouted, "I have endless dragon vein power, you can't do anything to me!"

"is it?"

Kitazawa casually waved his hand.

The surrounding giant trees suddenly came to life.

Countless vines and branches entangled the nearby puppets, rendering them unable to move.

An Lushan's pupils contracted, and without hesitation, he ordered the other puppets to fire.

Rumble!
The purple chakra was all slammed into the densely packed giant trees.

In the horrific explosion, the giant tree and the puppets were reduced to dust.

Before An Lushan could even rejoice, those giant trees were reborn once more.

He was startled, but did not lose hope.

Because his dragon vein power is inexhaustible, while Kitazawa's chakra will eventually run out.

"Kakashi, and Shiki, go find Queen Loulan immediately!"

Minato Namikaze also realized this and quickly said, "Only by shutting down the power of the Dragon Vein can we defeat An Lushan!"

"let's go!"

"Oil Girl Zhiwei quickly called out."

Kakashi Hatake nodded and leaped into the air.

Upon seeing this, An Lushan immediately manipulated the puppet to give chase.

But as soon as he moved, Minato Namikaze reappeared in front of him.

Left with no other choice, he had to send out all the puppets.

Although many were intercepted by Kitazawa's giant tree, a considerable number of the puppets still chased after Kakashi Hatake and his group.

However, these puppets were not particularly threatening to them.

In addition, there were Naruto Uzumaki and others, who fought and left at a considerable speed.

"Damn it!"

An Lushan's heart tightened, and he no longer held back.

Puppet Transformation: Super Dragon Vein Fireball!

A purple fireball, several times larger than before, appeared.

The nearby giant trees immediately burst into flames.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze didn't dare to take the attack head-on and simply disappeared.

A massive purple fireball, like the sun, hurtled towards Kitazawa.

"Come on!"

Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Kitazawa and reached out to grab his shoulder.

Kitazawa shook his head and formed a hand seal.

Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!

A seed fell and instantly transformed into a thorny dragon.

It crashed into the purple fireball without hesitation.

Boom!
The purple fireball was smashed to pieces, scattering into clusters of fireballs in all directions.

But when it falls to the ground, it is wrapped and absorbed by branches and vines.

"what?"

An Lushan's expression changed drastically.

The wooden dragon flew towards him, and he immediately felt a powerful sense of oppression.

An Lushan roared in anger.

His body shone with a brilliant purple light, and countless dragon vein powers surged forth.

Puppet Transformation: Super Dragon Vein Fireball!

This time it wasn't a fireball, but a sea of ​​fire.

Centered on him, the purple flames surged like giant waves in the sea.

The surface of the wooden dragon caught fire, but that was all.

With a flick of its tail, it wrapped An Lushan up.

A terrifying force struck, and An Lushan was instantly paralyzed.

He roared continuously, and the purple light shone out once again, only to be extinguished in the blink of an eye.

Theoretically, the power of dragon veins is inexhaustible.

However, when they encountered the Wood Dragon, which could absorb chakra, a stalemate ensued.

"...?"

Minato Namikaze stared blankly as An Lushan flickered on and off like a motion-activated light.

Was it really that easy to solve?

The legendary Wood Release technique is truly terrifying!

Of course, Minato Namikaze is now even more puzzled by Kitazawa.

Why was he previously unknown?
