Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

"Is Kakashi... alright?"

Shinomiya Yuuki watched the figure being carried away, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

"Cough cough... It should be fine."

Naruto seemed a little flustered. He hadn't expected that a casual punch would send Kakashi flying. The force of the punch really startled him.

"But I transferred some of the Nine-Tails' chakra to him, so he should recover quickly," Naruto added sheepishly, trying to calm everyone down.

Yuyue shook her head regretfully: "Tsk, I was hoping to see you guys fight over the bells, but that's ruined now."

"What are your plans next? Without Jonin guidance, you won't be able to take on missions."

He then turned to Sasuke, his eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Sasuke, do you have any ideas?"

In the current Team 7, only Sasuke has some idea of ​​what's going on; as for the other two...

Yes, the road to growth is still very long.

Sasuke turned his head and fixed his gaze on Naruto: "Naruto, you'll be training with me for the next few days. I'll teach you how to perfectly control your power."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Naruto nodded readily.

Then, his gaze turned to Sakura, who looked at him with anticipation. What kind of task would Sasuke assign her?

"As for Sakura, I've also learned some medical ninjutsu, which I can teach you. Let's leave it at that for now until Kakashi-sensei recovers."

"Okay, Sasuke." Sakura nodded happily.

In just a few seconds, Sasuke had efficiently assigned tasks, demonstrating astonishing efficiency.

Wow, Sasuke is an all-rounder! He can do a little bit of everything. This money was well spent.

"Now that you've made all the arrangements, I'm relieved. I'll be leaving now."

"I rushed over early this morning and haven't even had breakfast yet. I need to hurry up and get myself a bowl of ramen."

Yuyue waved her hand, turned around and left.

As soon as Naruto picked up the ramen, his stomach started growling uncontrollably: "Yuzuki, I want some too!"

He was excited and couldn't wait to follow.

But then, Sasuke grabbed him by the collar: "Didn't you just finish eating? You're not going anywhere, you're training!"

Yuzuki couldn't help but chuckle; now Indra was starting to discipline Asura.

After leaving the school, the crowd that had gathered at the gate had already dispersed, so it seemed that Minato had probably gone back.

Yuuki wandered through the streets of Konoha, the sounds of discussion about Minato Namikaze constantly wafting past her ears.

"Have you heard? Our Fourth Hokage is back!"

"What? Wasn't the fourth generation already over ten years ago...?"

"Sacrifice? That's all an illusion, used to deceive outsiders. He showed up at the Ninja Academy this morning; many people saw him with their own eyes. He's not dead at all."

Similar comments were heard repeatedly, indicating that Minato's popularity remains as high as ever.

Soon after, Yuzuki arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, waved to Uncle Tetsuya, and ordered a special ramen.

..............................

At this moment,

A storm was brewing in the Hidden Cloud Village.

"What?!"

"Minato Namikaze?!"

A man with a bronze complexion and an extraordinary aura suddenly stood up. His voice was loud and clear, and even pedestrians on the street could hear it clearly.

This person is none other than the Raikage of Kumogakure.

The fourth generation Raikage, Ai.

The Raikage's face was filled with disbelief, his gaze fixed on the intelligence ninja before him: "Are you sure Minato Namikaze is alive in Konoha?"

"It's absolutely true, Lord Raikage." The intelligence ninja's expression was serious, and his tone was firm.

"What is the source of this information? Is it accurate enough?"

Lei Ying rose from behind the table and approached step by step. His imposing figure made his subordinates feel a heavy pressure.

His large, bell-like eyes were fixed on the intelligence ninja, as if he might throw a punch at any moment.

"The news has spread like wildfire in Konoha. Many people have seen it with their own eyes, so it can't be false."

The intelligence ninja answered calmly, knowing full well that the Raikage's reaction was merely an expression of surprise.

The Raikage values ​​relationships and is by no means the type to treat his subordinates rudely.

"If that's true, it's incredibly bizarre."

"Could it be that he didn't actually die back then? Or was he just spreading false information to mislead the world?"

The Raikage was filled with doubts about the intelligence ninja's explanation.

Back then, the Hidden Cloud Village learned that the Fourth Hokage had died in the Nine-Tails' attack and believed that Konoha was in an unprecedentedly vulnerable period. So, they took the opportunity of forming an alliance to try to kidnap members of the Hyuga clan in order to obtain the Byakugan, a weapon that was almost invincible on the battlefield.

However, the operation failed at the last minute, as the Hyuga clan head saw through the plan and the men he sent were killed on the spot.

However, their use of this as a pretext to demand the handover of the murderer was actually a calculated move. Even if they couldn't catch the culprit, getting the Hyuga clan head's Byakugan would be a huge gain.

At that time, Konoha dared not say no, and had no choice but to go with the flow.

The culprit was indeed handed over, but who would have thought that the person was actually Hiashi Hyuga's twin brother? They didn't recognize him and took him away in a daze, only to find that he had been cursed with the "Caged Bird Seal" and his Byakugan could not be removed.

It was all for naught.

The strange thing is that...

If Minato Namikaze were still alive, even if he were seriously injured, as long as he could force himself to show his face, the Raikage could guarantee that those subordinates who went to provoke Konoha would be so scared that they would run away for their lives.

Of course, he wouldn't blame them, because he knew all too well the weight of his old rival.

The name of the Golden Flash resounded throughout the ninja world.

Rayleigh pondered for a moment. Despite his burly appearance, he was remarkably meticulous. Which Kage-level figure wasn't a shrewd and calculating individual?

After a long silence, he turned around and said in a deep voice to the intelligence ninja, "Investigate again. There's too little information. I need more specific intelligence."

"This is crucial to our future strategy towards Konoha."

The intelligence ninja sensed the Raikage's seriousness and nodded solemnly: "Understood, Raikage-sama."

After watching the intelligence ninja leave, the Raikage lost all interest in handling official business. He leaped out of the window and headed straight for the Cloud and Thunder Gorge, wanting to have a serious talk with Killer Bee about this matter…
