Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

These clay puppets have short, thick limbs and large, stiff joints, but they are exceptionally flexible because they are connected by dragon vein threads at the top of the tower.

Their arms sprang forth short blades and chains, attacking towards Liao Wu.

Liao Wu didn't even make a move. Tang Guo peeled open a candy, then took out a banana leaf fan and with a sudden wave, the powerful wind blast shattered the attacking clay puppets into pieces.

Sarah exclaimed, "Amazing!"

The very center of the Dragon Vein Tower.

An Lushan was at the control center of many puppets, and at this moment he was terrified.

"Uchiha Ryogoku, what's this guy doing in Loulan?"

"No, this guy is no match for me. I have to escape!"

An Lushan's previous name was Baizu. He was a rogue ninja from Sunagakure, and the strongest person he had ever met was the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

Even a powerful figure like Luo Sha wouldn't rank highly in this era.

Liao Wu was a powerful figure whom An Lushan had never heard of in the future.

An Lushan arrived in Loulan six years ago through the Dragon Vein. Everything was going as planned, with the five great ninja nations dominating the ninja world.

But a year ago, Liao Wu resurrected Uchiha Madara, starting the Fourth Shinobi World War.

An Lushan did not participate in the war, but he knew how fierce it was just by asking around in the market.

Even powerful figures like the Five Kage couldn't withstand a single glance from Madara.

An Lushan ruling over the five great ninja nations in front of someone like Madara would be a joke.

The puppets that An Lushan created using the dragon veins during this period were not intended to launch a war.

He couldn't contend with the Ninja Clan, formed by the alliance of the five great ninja villages; he was merely seeking self-preservation.

He never expected that war would find him before he even started it.

The power of the Rinnegan was something An Lushan could never covet, even though he could control the power of the dragon veins and had unlimited chakra in Loulan.

Having an inexhaustible supply of chakra simply means he has a large quantity; it doesn't mean he possesses attacks beyond the Rinnegan.

So they ran away, they ran away, bro.

Leaving Loulan would mean losing the dragon vein, but staying would mean certain death.

For the sake of his own life, An Lushan fled with his puppet soldiers.

The puppet soldiers of the Dragon Vein Tower retreated, and there was little power to stop Liao Wu. Liao Wu and his group arrived at the output point of the Dragon Vein without any trouble.

Sarah was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that Liao Wu's mere appearance would frighten An Lushan, who had been giving her a headache, to the point that he couldn't even muster the will to fight.

The dragon vein is located in an altar, with something in the center that looks like an eyeball, and the dragon vein flowing around the altar.

Once here, Liaowu no longer needs Sara.

Liao Wu walked to the edge of the altar, sensing the aura of the dragon vein.

The chakra of the dragon vein is enormous, so enormous that it can distort space and time; this chakra has already materialized into a liquid state.

Sarah asked, "What do you want to do?"

Liao Wu took off his shirt and then jumped into the dragon vein amidst Sarah's exclamation.

Sarah said worriedly, "He will die. No one dares to be inside the Dragon Vein. He will explode from the sheer amount of chakra."

Candy, sucking on a lollipop, comforted Sarah, saying, "What are you afraid of? It's not like you're the one jumping down. Don't worry! Liao Wu is going to use this massive amount of chakra to break through the seal within his body."

"I think what you should be worried about right now is your city of Loulan. Hurry up and evacuate your people, or the city will be destroyed."

"What?!"

Sarah was startled and quickly left the dragon vein altar, but suddenly the ground shook and the dragon vein erupted.

Sarah slipped and fell on the stone bridge.

Candy reacted quickly, turning into a blur and grabbing her clothes.

"My weak queen, let me help you! But after it's done, you'll have to give my master a baby!"

……

outside world.

Kushina looked at Naruto, puzzled. "This kid doesn't look like me, he looks more like Minato. Look at his hair."

"Minato, how can your blond hair suppress the Uzumaki clan's bloodline?"

Sakumo said, "Minato was also an extremely outstanding ninja. His mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique is a testament to his extraordinary talent."

"But how did your future child end up here? What happened?"

Minato stood up and said, "Now is not the time to discuss these issues. Ryogoku wants to use the Dragon Vein's chakra to break the seal left by the First Hokage within him."

"We must stop him quickly, or he'll become the reincarnation of Madara Uchiha once he regains his strength!"

Kushina nodded: "Minato is right, let's deal with the evil Uchiha Ryougo first!"

Kushina and the others shouted for everyone to move towards the place where the dragon vein chakra was erupting most intensely.

Black Zetsu and Kaguya followed after seeing that Kushina and the others had stopped fighting.

As Minato hurried along the road, he said, "It was the chakra of the Dragon Vein that caused the spacetime distortion, bringing Naruto from the future to our time."

Asuma was shocked: "Is the chakra of the dragon veins this vast? It can even cause spacetime distortion?"

Obito asked curiously, "What will the future be like? Will we have defeated Ryougo and Kaguya?"

"..."

Minato paused for a moment; the future held only despair for his family.

"Listen to me, the future is not the future we know. In Naruto's world, Ryo Wu did not revive Uchiha Madara, and there was no Fourth Shinobi World War."

"The five great ninja villages remain at odds, and many of us have died in the war."

"Including Kushina and me, when Kushina was giving birth, a mysterious person attacked Konoha and broke the seal of the Nine-Tails."

"Kushina and I both sacrificed ourselves to seal away the Nine-Tails!"

"..."

After hearing this, Kushina looked at Naruto on Minato's back with a heavy heart. The future seemed too hopeless. Without her and Minato, how desperate would Naruto's world be?

Obito was furious: "Who? How dare they hurt Minato-sensei and Kushina-neechan?"

Minato stopped. The Third Kazekage and Rasa had been flying very fast and had already gone to destroy the dragon vein.

So Minato and the others don't need to rush.

Minato looked at Obito and said, "Obito, the eye technique that the mysterious masked man used—it's your Kamui!"

"impossible!!"

Obito stopped and said incredulously, "Minato-sensei and Kushina-neechan have been so good to me. I must have no conscience to do anything to you two."

Kakashi crossed his arms and said, "Obito, have you forgotten? You were captured by Madara before."

"Black Zetsu also said that Madara wanted to use you, to make you completely turn to the dark side, and to take over his work to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Obito fell silent. Maybe it really was him.

He anxiously asked Minato, "Minato-sensei, where's Rin? How is Rin?"

Lin looked at Minato with anticipation. No one is unwilling to know what their future holds.

Minato looked at Rin and said, "Rin—she died. The Hidden Mist Village implanted the Three-Tails into her. The Hidden Mist Village wanted the Three-Tails to be released in Konoha so that it could destroy the village."

These were not things Naruto saw with his own eyes, but rather things that the future Minato's chakra within Naruto told Minato.

Mei Terumi asked in confusion, "This is a thankless task. Although the Three-Tails is a tailed beast, Konoha possesses the highest-level sealing techniques in the ninja world."

"Releasing the Three-Tails in Konoha is practically handing the Three-Tails over to Konoha, isn't it?"

Obito suddenly realized: "I know, it's Madara, Madara controlled Kirigakure, Madara wanted me to witness Rin's death and realize that this world is an illusion."

"Thus, I was drawn into his plan and made into his pawn."
