Saiyans in the Naruto world

"The pulling force is something no human could withstand," Carrot muttered to himself.

"System, where am I?"

Having narrowly escaped death, Carrot asked where the rift had led him, still completely bewildered.

"This is still the Naruto world. However, this is no longer your time and space."

When he first heard that it was still the Naruto world, Karot was very happy, but the second half of the sentence left him speechless.

"Then how should I get back?"

"I almost lost my life trying to absorb the power of the Dragon Vein, and even traveled to another time and space," Carrot asked anxiously. "What if I get back too late? Will Orochimaru still be able to become Hokage? Will I still be able to keep my promise to protect Shisui?" Countless thoughts flashed through Carrot's mind in an instant.

"Wait."

"What? You mean wait?"

The system's response prompted the already anxious Carrot to speak up loudly.

"Wait, once the clone has absorbed all the power of the dragon vein, it will be able to open the path we came from, and then we can go back."

"How long will it take?"

"Soon, but I don't know the exact time."

The system's response left Carrot speechless, both amused and exasperated. Wasn't this just being a scoundrel? It was practically saying...

"It looks dangerous, but it's actually not safe at all."

Carrot stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes. He was filthy. He felt terrible.

Carrot sensed several figures rushing rapidly towards him. One of them was someone he knew.

"Carrot, what are you doing here?"

Just as Naruto and his friends were about to return to the village to hand over their mission, they suddenly saw someone fall from the sky. When they came over to check, they were surprised to find that it was Karot.

"Hey, Naruto, it's so nice to see you again so soon."

Carrot greeted him warmly, saying that it was a happy thing to meet a familiar person in a foreign land.

"Naruto, do you know him?"

Yamato, as the captain, looked at Carrot with a wary expression.

"Yamato-senpai, let me introduce you. His name is Carrot."

"Carrot, this is Yamato-sensei, Sakura, and Sai."

After Naruto's explanation, Yamato and the others lowered their guard against Carrot. However, Carrot didn't care at all. Fear is only due to insufficient strength. When you have the strength to sweep everything away, you can calmly and composedly face everything.

Naruto pulled Carrot aside.

"Carrot, did you come alone?"

Naruto asked cautiously, as if he was still expecting something.

Carrot naturally knew what Naruto was thinking and interrupted his thoughts without hesitation.

"I'm the only one here; I was forced to come."

Upon hearing this, Carrot instantly flew into a rage. Anyone would be angry if they were subjected to the pain of being stretched by space for no reason.

"Then what will you do in the future? Loulan has become a ruin. Can you still go back?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I can come and go as soon as I want. How about I stay at your place?"

Karot is penniless now and has no choice but to ask Naruto for help. Once they've settled down, they can start "robbing the rich to help the poor," robbing wealthy bandits and robbers to aid Karot, the poor guy. Perfect plan.

"of course can."

Naruto agreed to Karot's offer without hesitation. However, this decision plunged his wallet into a deep abyss.

"Naruto, we should go."

Yamato urged, "After all, we're in the Kingdom of Kaze, not our own territory, and our sense of security is questionable."

"Okay, we'll come right away."

Naruto beckoned Karot to follow, and the group headed towards Konoha. Meanwhile, Yamato sent Karot's portrait to the Hokage, requesting that he investigate Karot's background, as Karot's sudden appearance and close relationship with Naruto raised questions about his motives.

After three days of arduous travel, we finally entered the land of fire, transitioning from a vast desert into a lush, verdant forest, a truly delightful experience.

"Ah, that feels so good."

Carrot let out a groan of pleasure.

"Yes."

Naruto chimed in.

The group enjoyed a relaxing soak in the hot springs at the market, finding relief from the fatigue of the past three days.

"Naruto, where are we going to eat later?"

For the past three days, they've been eating only marching rations, their mouths are practically watering at the thought of food. When has Carrot ever been treated like this? The moment they arrive in the bustling city center, they're immediately demanding a good meal.

Naruto and the others wholeheartedly agreed to Karot's suggestion. After all, now that they had the means, why would they bother eating that bland and tasteless ration?

In short, Naruto and his friends were completely dumbfounded after this meal. Naruto had seen Karot eat before, but he hadn't expected that wasn't Karot's limit, but rather just the beginning.

Naruto had a long face the whole way. Whenever Karot wanted to eat, he would refuse with all sorts of excuses. It wasn't that Naruto was stingy, but Karot had eaten all of Naruto's savings. Now they were even struggling to make ends meet with their marching rations.

"I'm back."

Naruto stood at the gates of Konoha, arms outstretched, and shouted. Karot also looked towards the village gates, and upon comparison, there was nothing different. The only difference was the gatekeeper.

Chapter 70 Escape from Payment

"Wow, there are quite a few people here."

Carrot, Naruto, and the others arrived at the Hokage's office. It was the same place, only the person sitting in the Hokage's seat was different. It was Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

"Hello, Lady Tsunade, Lady Jiraiya."

After exchanging greetings, Karot kept staring at Kakashi.

"I'm not used to you being like this, Kakashi."

Having spent over a decade with Kakashi, Carrot suddenly encountering the later Kakashi made him feel strange.

"Your name is Karot, right? You're also a Konoha ninja? But I've checked all the ninja records, and I can't find any information about you."

At this moment, Tsunade, who was sitting in her seat, asked a question.

Karot glanced at Naruto and thought to himself.

"This kid is not bad; he didn't reveal my identity."

Naruto even nodded at Carlo, indicating that he was a good friend!

However, Carrot had no intention of hiding his identity. Since you asked, I'll answer you.

"My name is Karot Hatake, who is also Kakashi Hatake's older brother."

As soon as Karot finished speaking, everyone in the room, except for Naruto, stared wide-eyed. They scrutinized Karot and Kakashi, comparing them side by side. Apart from their white hair, no one could believe it.

Kakashi, the person involved, found it absurd, saying, "You say you're my older brother, but you're younger than me."

"impossible."

Kakashi spoke up.

"Kid, do you think this is funny? Using such a lame excuse to fob us off."

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and shouted. She unleashed a powerful aura, attempting to pressure Carrot. However, her aura had no effect on Carrot.

"Naruto, look at this, nobody believes the truth."

Karot also knew that this fact was absurd enough for them. They could only bring up Naruto as a witness.

"Grandma Tsunade, it's true. Carrot really is Kakashi-sensei's brother. I even met my father."

Naruto stepped forward to testify for Karot. They believed Naruto, but their faces still showed disbelief. Naruto then recounted his experiences chasing the Centipede. The expressions on the faces of those present changed continuously, from doubt to shock to acceptance.

"Father, are you still alive?"

At this moment, Kakashi spoke up, saying that Sakumo Hatake had always been a source of pain for him. Kakashi had always refused to accept Sakumo Hatake's suicide.

"Father, he is now preparing to retire. We just won the Third Shinobi World War."

Upon hearing this news, Kakashi smiled—a rare, genuine smile. It was good that you were still alive in another timeline.

"So, is Minato now Hokage, Karot?"

Jiraiya, who hadn't spoken until now, asked, knowing that Minato became the Fourth Hokage after the Third Shinobi World War.

"Not yet, but Minato-senpai won't be the Fourth Hokage. Orochimaru-senpai will have to be."

"What did you say? Orochimaru wants to be the Fourth Hokage. How could he possibly become one?"

Jiraiya simply didn't believe that the Third Hokage would ultimately choose Minato, especially since Orochimaru's human experiments had been exposed, leaving him with no choice but to betray the village.

"Everyone, do not use events that happen in your timeline to judge the development of our timeline."

"you."
