However, this is the current state of the ninja world. It is a world that values ​​strength above all else, so it's best not to impose moral standards that restrict ordinary people on ninjas.

"Ming, we're almost there."

As Hiashi Hyuga braved the wind and sand, he squinted and, at the edge of his Byakugan's vision, saw a lush oasis.

"understood."

Akira Hatake nodded. "Then let's speed things up. I've really had enough of this awful weather!"

Shaking off the thick layer of sand covering his body, Akira Hatake suddenly quickened his pace, as did Hiashi Hyuga and Fugaku Uchiha behind him.

It's worth mentioning that the reason Hatake Akira used the most primitive way of traveling was because he had not left any Flying Thunder God mark in the Loulan Kingdom.

This is the limitation of the Flying Thunder God Technique; in terms of convenience, it is somewhat inferior to Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique.

After the three quickened their pace, they arrived at the oasis of Loulan Kingdom in less than half an hour.

"Phew... I'm finally free."

Akira Hatake pulled off the sand-proof cloth covering his face, exhaled a breath of stale air, and stomped his feet repeatedly, trying to shake off the yellow sand that had fallen on his body.

Soon, a fine layer of sand appeared beneath Akira Hatake's feet.

Similarly, the same applies to Hiashi Hyuga and Fugaku Uchiha.

However, Hiashi Hyuga quickly became alert.

"bright……"

As Hiashi Hyuga reminded Akira Hatake, his tone carried a hint of doubt, "There's a very strong chakra fluctuation right in front of us, and... I feel a strange sense of familiarity about it."

"familiar?!"

Akira Hatake raised an eyebrow, a sudden realization dawning on him.

However, to verify whether Akira Hatake's conjecture is right or wrong, we need to investigate it ourselves.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Akira Hatake waved his hand, and the three of them instantly formed a battle formation with Akira Hatake at the head.

Whoosh!

The three of them accelerated to their maximum speed, and under the command of Hiashi Hyuga, they took the most time-saving and energy-efficient route to the place where the anomaly had occurred.

……

"hateful!"

A blond-haired teenager spat out a mouthful of blood, "He got away again!"

"Naruto, are you alright?"

With black hair and black eyes, the aloof boy dressed in a family-style long robe looked worried as he squatted down to carefully examine Naruto's injuries.

"Sasuke, I'm fine."

Naruto Uzumaki, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up, and his injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its recovery speed is astonishing.

"Is it because of the power of the dragon vein that we've traveled back to the past?!"

"I really don't understand why Lord Ming insisted on sending us on this damn mission!"

Naruto Uzumaki was full of complaints, and his behavior was somewhat different from that in the original work; he became... less innocent and kind.

“Our senior master has his reasons, we just need to follow them.”

Seeing that Naruto was alright, Sasuke Uchiha was relieved and echoed Naruto's sentiments.

"Hmph! All you ever talk about is 'Master Uncle, Master Uncle'..."

Naruto's face showed some resentment. "What exactly am I lacking? It's one thing that Lord Akira won't take me as his apprentice, but even Lord Kakashi..."

"Alright, Naruto, your master and uncle have their own reasons."

"You... I'm truly impressed!"

Naruto pouted, "You Uchiha are usually so arrogant, so why do you become so obedient to Lord Akira and Lord Kakashi?!"

"You do not understand."

Sasuke Uchiha is more composed than he was in the original timeline, and at first glance, he even bears some resemblance to Itachi Uchiha.

"My master and my senior brother once said that once you have mellowed out your princely temper, they will consider teaching you some real skills."

"Hmph, you talk as if it's something I really care about..."

Naruto, still bearing a hint of "princeling" air, remained stubborn, but his tone softened.

"By the way, Sasuke, did you see where An Lushan ran off to?"

"We've entered the city."

Uchiha Sasuke's eyelids twitched, and his eyes instantly transformed into three-tomoe shapes. "I saw the chakra traces left by An Lushan along the way. Although they were not obvious, the direction was correct."

"Then let's get moving..."

Just as Naruto recovered from his injuries and was preparing to pursue Anrokusan from the future again, Akira Hatake, along with Hiashi Hyuga and Fugaku Uchiha, suddenly blocked Naruto's path.

"Ming...Master Ming!"

Naruto instantly recognized Akira Hatake, and after a brief moment of surprise, a malicious smile appeared on his face.

"He looks so young..." He leaned forward and gestured a couple of times, his lack of manners much like Akira Hatake. "He looks about ten years old. Call me 'brother'!"

Listening to Naruto Uzumaki's outrageous words, Akira Hatake felt a headache coming on.

Naruto's personality could only have been raised with his parents still alive.

But Akira Hatake didn't indulge him.

With a swift kick, Akira Hatake landed a light but firm blow on Naruto's chest.

But then, a yellow flash suddenly appeared before Akira Hatake's eyes.

It's the Flying Thunder God Technique!

With a frown, Akira Hatake hadn't expected that Naruto Uzumaki, who had traveled from the future to the past using the power of the Dragon Vein, had already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

and……

"Was it through the Flying Thunder God Technique formula left on me by my teacher that I fulfilled the prerequisite for using the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Akira Hatake not only understood everything instantly, but also immediately made the most effective response.

Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!

Just as Naruto's attack was about to strike, an invisible and intangible Flying Thunder God spatial barrier suddenly opened around the Flying Thunder God mark that Minato Namikaze had left on Akira Hatake.

Sa!

Naruto Uzumaki is very skilled in using the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he is still not good enough against Akira Hatake.

Naruto, who was originally attacking Akira Hatake's back, suddenly passed through the Flying Thunder God Space Barrier opened by Akira Hatake and appeared in front of Akira Hatake in the next instant.

Sealing Technique: Evil-Sealing Seal!

Akira Hatake didn't let Naruto get away with it. Just as Naruto realized something was wrong and was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge the attack, several dark sealing techniques lit up on Akira's fingertips.

"Uh……"

Naruto's shouts were strained, as he was being held up in mid-air by Akira Hatake, who was choking him.

The sealing technique, Evil Sealing Seal, had already taken effect, sealing all of Naruto's chakra and preventing him from using the Flying Thunder God Technique again.

"Naruto Uzumaki, you've completely ruined Minato-sensei's account!"

"Uh...okay."

Naruto Uzumaki looked defeated. "You've always said that in the future too."

Then, Naruto Uzumaki pleaded, "Lord Ming, I know I was wrong. Could you please put me down now?"

"Humph."

Although he was angry, Akira Hatake smiled and, as Naruto Uzumaki wished, threw him to the ground.

"Lord Ming, please help me break the seal..."

Naruto Uzumaki, who plopped down on the ground, frowned. "Being bound by the Evil Sealing Seal is really uncomfortable."

"Didn't your teacher, Kushina, teach you?"

“I taught him, but he became disobedient if he untied it himself. It would be different if Lord Ming helped me untie it…”

"You're quite smart."

Akira Hatake chuckled to himself, finding it hard to dislike Naruto Uzumaki's personality.

Akira Hatake could see that he had played a part in Naruto Uzumaki's development into such a clever and unruly person.

Reaching out, he released the seal placed on Naruto Uzumaki. Without wasting any time, Akira Hatake directly asked Naruto the question.

"Naruto, did my future self ask you to give me any information?"

“Yes!” Naruto nodded. “But not with me, it’s with Sasuke.”

"Sasuke?"

Before Akira Hatake could speak, Fugaku Uchiha raised an eyebrow and looked at the black-haired, black-eyed boy behind Naruto.

"Father."

"Father?!"

Hiashi Hyuga was also stunned, looking at Fugaku Uchiha with some suspicion, his eyes full of inquiry and gossip.

"Hiashi Hyuga, don't look at me with such a boring gaze, I'm not."

Fugaku Uchiha glared at Hiashi Hyuga, then turned his attention back to Sasuke Uchiha.

"Like, so similar!"

With a hint of excitement on his face, Fugaku approached Sasuke. "Sasuke, are the future Uchiha clan... doing well?"

“I’m sorry, Father. Before I embarked on this mission, my mentor specifically instructed me not to reveal anything about the future.”
