How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

I feel nauseous and want to vomit.

This is the most direct experience Miss Fox is currently experiencing: her entire body is surrounded by chakra, which is extremely disgusting.

However, at the same time, this feeling of being carried by chakra, as if drifting in some strange channel, was like encountering a thin membrane that prevented her from knowing the truth. Everything that gradually became clear under the influence of these chakras was very troubling to her mind and body!

The desire for knowledge clashes with physiological aversion!

"Just let me poke you once! Just let me poke you once—"

The feeling of being enveloped by chakra disappeared, and her senses became instantly clear. Miss Fox saw her familiar, smooth, white arms and the blinding sunlight. The weight pressing against her chest told her that she was lying down. The tactile sensation of her body and the fact that there was no pillow to support the back of her head told her that lying on the uneven stone ground was really uncomfortable.

"The dragon veins that must be protected..."

"A blade flashes, and I look up at the sky..."

"A sandstorm and a dust storm are coming..."

singing?

It was a red-haired girl singing a cappella, completely absorbed and engrossed. In this spacious environment, the girl's voice sounded ethereal, and it was clear at a glance that she had a good foundation and was very suitable for singing.

This appears to be the bottom of some ruins, with stones haphazardly piled up, clearly showing signs of human intervention. High walls form a circle, creating a spacious and desolate atmosphere, like a prison...

In the even earlier past, were there civilizations in the areas where dragon veins were located?

"Hey, where is this place?"

It wasn't Uchiha Madara's voice; it was the voice of a middle-aged boy, around 15 (or 16 or 17), with a slightly hoarse, husky voice, like that of a boy going through puberty.

Is there anyone else here?

He has short, golden spiky hair, is taller than the dwarf giant, has six distinctive whiskers on his face, and wears a headband that is unmistakably clear to anyone who has watched Naruto.

But this person shouldn't be here at this time—

"Prince?"

"Ninja?"

Madara Uchiha jumped out from behind the ruins on the other side and locked his gaze on Naruto Uzumaki in an instant.

In the opening scene of The Lost Tower, is it possible that the Dragon Vein has stalled in this timeline? The fox spirit and Madara Uchiha, who triggered the Dragon Vein in the past, and Naruto Uzumaki, who triggered the Dragon Vein in the future, have all arrived at the same time period.

It's unclear whether this Naruto Uzumaki comes from the future influenced by Miss Fox, or from the future of the original storyline.

Or perhaps, Miss Fox, this giant butterfly, had absolutely no impact on the story of Naruto?

The moment that thought crossed her mind, she immediately shook it off. She'd already spoiled the plot for Madara to this extent; it would be strange if it had no impact whatsoever, especially since there was this guy claiming to be a planetary consciousness, along with the Duke, lurking in the Naruto world...

"Hey! Wait!"

During the brief moment of blank staring, new changes occurred on the field.

The girl who had been singing loudly in the area fled, and the prince instinctively gave chase.

Ding ding ding,

Three kunai blocked the prince's path. The prince, who had been attacked by Madara Uchiha, quickly took out kunai as well for defense. But when he looked up, he met Madara Uchiha's blood-red eyes!

"Sharingan!?"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately looked away, becoming even more vigilant, his eyes clear and unaffected by the genjutsu. Miss Fox tilted her head, feigning cuteness as she looked at Madara Uchiha. She didn't believe that the current Naruto could react in time to dodge Madara's Sharingan genjutsu, so there was only one possibility: Madara hadn't used a genjutsu on the Naruto.

"There seems to be something interesting lurking inside you."

Madara Uchiha ignored the fox lady's gaze and stared at Naruto Uzumaki with his three-tomoe Sharingan, saying, "This sealing technique is a method of the Uzumaki clan."

"Who are you!?"--

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly froze, clearly sensing that his aura had become extremely chaotic. A crimson chakra was visibly emerging from his body. To Miss Fox, who was watching from the side, this smelled like a can of herring being opened, which made her skin crawl with goosebumps!

Although Miss Fox had never smelled the smell of canned herring!

[Uchiha Madara!]

Crimson chakra coalesced into one, two, three tails, and a fox-shaped skeleton covered Naruto's face. The faint roar of crimson chakra could be heard, and the raging fire created a violent eye of wind, raising a cloud of dust.

"you know me?"

Madara Uchiha glared with his Sharingan, and Naruto Uzumaki's overflowing crimson chakra immediately receded. He could no longer feel the power he had just felt, and all that remained was Naruto Uzumaki sitting on the ground, panting heavily, as if he had survived a disaster, covered in sweat.

Miss Fox walked over with her arms crossed.

Although there is no evidence, Miss Fox believes that the two of them must have communicated without her knowledge during that brief moment of eye contact, and she is very curious!

Damn, how come this illusion is so useful for creating a private space for two people to exchange secrets!

"Is this the power of the dragon veins? Manipulating time, allowing us to travel from the past to the future?"

Madara Uchiha looked at Miss Fox; he understood the current situation.

See? These two just had a conversation behind her back that she didn't know about. This really tempted Miss Fox, and she was eager to know what they talked about.

Although one could roughly guess that it was a scene where the old man was scaring a giant...

"It shouldn't be the future."

Miss Fox sighed. It was a pity that she didn't know genjutsu and was immune to the genjutsu of Naruto, so she couldn't go in with Madara to pet the big fox. You see, she simply couldn't resist such a big and furry creature.

"Do you still remember Konoha Village, and Hashirama Senju's ideal form of peace?"

"I know, only a low-class kid like Hashirama could come up with such a stupid headband shaped like a leaf and a village name made of leaves."

Ban-ye scoffed at the design on Naruto's headband, completely oblivious to the strange look on Miss Fox's face beside him.

At this moment, Miss Fox was wondering whether she should immediately tell Master Man that the Konoha emblem and name weren't actually Hashirama Senju's ideas, but rather...

"Um..."

After thinking for a moment, Miss Fox decided to give Ban-ye some face. She patted Ban-ye on the shoulder and said, "Actually, the Konoha and headband designs were both your ideas and designs."

"Hmph... Konoha is indeed a good name. Bathed in sunlight, living in a world without war, and finally resting peacefully on the ground, returning to its roots."

It's surprising how good Ban Ye's Chinese language skills are!

"Isn't this kid with the Nine-Tails residing inside him from the future?" Madara Uchiha turned his back, his cold and flat voice like that of a domineering CEO!

Chapter 238 It's Onii-chan!

If the timeline of this world, with the future, past, and present as a straight line without branches, then Naruto Uzumaki from the future could not be the original future Naruto Uzumaki. Instead, he would be the future Naruto Uzumaki from the time when Madara Uchiha was enlightened, learned the truth about the world, and discovered a better way to achieve peace.

If the timeline of this world is a tree branch, extending infinitely from a fulcrum, then the so-called future of Naruto Uzumaki, and the time period of the current Loulan Kingdom, cannot be the future of Madara Uchiha's timeline, but rather a fragment of another timeline.

One is a real individual from the future, while the other is an individual from a parallel world from another timeline!

After spending a great deal of time and effort, using numerous easy-to-understand examples, Miss Fox's throat was dry as she explained things to Madara Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.

"So, you understand now?"

With her desire to explain excessively satisfied, Miss Fox was unable to continue.

To be honest, no matter how much you want to explain, if you encounter someone who can't understand your explanation, your desire to give long-winded explanations will be completely washed away, turning into a feeling of annoyance.

Even though ninjas are generally knowledgeable about physics—the manga even shows courses on wind resistance and parabolas in the ninja academy—when it came to explaining such easily understandable conjectures, Naruto Uzumaki was one thing, but Madara Uchiha was mostly clueless. When asked, it turned out he didn't even understand the basic terminology she casually used. This left Miss Fox speechless for a moment—

Because these words were made up by Miss Fox herself, even if they were elementary school students who had experienced the basic education of the information age, they could easily understand what these words referred to when combined with a major topic. But here, let alone the information age, the abnormally developed world of Naruto probably hasn't even experienced a Renaissance. So even Madara Uchiha failed to understand the words, and didn't even quite understand the "parallel world" that he was trying to explain!

This forced Miss Fox to repeat herself from beginning to end, which required a great deal of her time and effort!

"Uh...I don't really understand!"

Turning around, I saw Naruto Uzumaki sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes narrowed. He looked completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on. He wanted Miss Fox to explain further.

So Miss Fox simply ignored it.

"Hey! What's with that 'So you're the idiot who doesn't understand?' look you're giving me?!"

"whispering sound!"

Miss Fox pursed her lips, adjusted her expression, and put on a gentle mask: "Hey, our Crown Prince, Naruto Uzumaki, he's the smartest!"

(╬￣皿￣) This is Naruto Uzumaki's expression right now.

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow: "Is this the Jinchuriki you mentioned, the one born after Hashirama distributed the Tailed Beasts in the future?"

"Ah, relying on the sacrifice of children as weapons of war to defend peace..."

Was that really peace?

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki, whose hair hadn't even been straightened out yet, immediately exploded: "What do you mean, old man! Konoha Village is a very good place. That old woman may like to gamble, but she's a good person. Uncle Ichiraku, Kakashi-sensei, Captain Yamato, Sakura, Sasuke, everyone is a very good person!"

"Humph!"

The war was ongoing. From the time Madara Uchiha became conscious, the news he heard most often from his father was related to the war, whether good or bad. The clan was always filled with a strong atmosphere of killing intent and was always in a state of preparation for war.

As descendants of ninjas, Madara Uchiha and his brothers learned mostly about fighting and killing from a young age, even being sent to the battlefield at the tender age of six or seven. Peace was merely a delusion he had dreamt of when he talked with Hashirama by the river as a child. Madara looked at the fox-like girl beside him, contemplating that peaceful future.

"?"

Tilting her head, the unrestrained fox-like girl, though unsure why Master Ban was suddenly looking at her, put on an innocent, girlish smile and asked in a sweet voice, "What's wrong~"

Madara Uchiha shuddered violently!

"How disgusting! Auntie, your smile is so disgusting!"

Madara Uchiha had learned about the peaceful future from this golden-haired elf. After waking up here and seeing the Nine-Tails inside this blond boy, he completely believed in the future that the golden-haired elf had described.

But when Madara learned about the future from this shameful golden-haired elf, regardless of whether he was misled or fooled by Black Zetsu, he still believed from the bottom of his heart that Konoha was not a truly suitable peaceful future for ninjas.

During the Warring States period, young children learned combat and killing techniques within their families, and were then sent to the battlefield in batches, their survival left to fate.

The so-called peaceful future of the five great ninja villages involves young children being concentrated in schools to learn combat and killing techniques. Graduation during wartime means going to the battlefield as cannon fodder to face the enemy, leaving their fate to grow stronger on the battlefield and then participate in more wars.

What difference does it make?

The heart-wrenching separations and deaths among brothers, parents, and friends will continue to unfold. To vie for resources and secure more financial aid from the daimyo, they fight like clowns on the battlefield, proving to their respective daimyo the abilities and value of ninjas...

"Konoha Village, a village like that has no reason to exist!"

"Hey! Uncle! You can't pretend you didn't hear that!"

Naruto Uzumaki took out a kunai, his earlier clumsy demeanor replaced by a cool and serious expression as he prepared to defend himself against Madara Uchiha: "Although I don't know who you are, uncle, if you try to harm the village, I will never let you get away with it!"

"Humph!"

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly and moved his body. With his hands working together, he easily blocked Naruto Uzumaki's kunai with two sharp snaps. He then grabbed Naruto's hands and pressed his face close to him, his scarlet Sharingan eyes glaring fiercely at him!

Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth and stared back at the Sharingan, showing no fear whatsoever!

Um...

Miss Fox crossed her arms and looked at the two whose faces were almost touching, wondering if she should try to be Shikamaru.

"Your eyes are stupid, just like that idiot Hashirama."

In the end, as expected, nothing happened, which made Miss Fox sigh in disappointment.

Speaking of which, in the original story, Madara Uchiha's first kiss and virginity were preserved until the very end.

If he hadn't given up that chance to be Shikamaru, wouldn't that have meant...?

"Ah, what a pity, I missed the chance to cuckold Hashirama Senju."

Miss Fox shook her head: "Master Ban, didn't I tell you? This prince is the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, the next generation of Senju Hashirama. He can be considered a reincarnation of Senju Hashirama, and also your younger brother."

"What?! This strange old man is my brother?!"

Naruto's reaction was even stronger than Madara's: "This arrogant old man, even more cocky than Sasuke, is my brother?!"

So, Your Highness, how do you interpret this...?

Miss Fox sighed.

Chapter 239 The Scale Puppet

"Oh! So you are people from the past, from ancient times!"

Naruto Uzumaki was very happy, walking beside Miss Fox with his hands on his head, his every move exuding the superiority of a person from the future: "When we get back to Konoha, I'll show you guys a lot of fun. You probably don't know what fun and delicious things there are in this era!"

Wouldn't you call this being mocked by someone who hasn't experienced the information age's entertainment-driven culture?

Miss Fox thought about it carefully. Although that was true, the point should be that Naruto Uzumaki, as a person from the future, was showing off his life to a person from the past.

"However, life wasn't exactly convenient for ninjas in your time."
