I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

[Eight-Tailed Fox]: Yeah, didn't the live stream end a long time ago?

[Big Pillar Silly]: Could there be something wrong with the system?

Tobirama Senju: ...

Tobirama Senju: ...

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: Tobirama Senju, stop with all that "uh-uh-ah-ah-ah." What do you mean? Say something.

[Tobirama Senju]: I was just analyzing it.

[Senju Tobirama]: It was already evening when Kitahara Kaede and the others arrived at the ruins of the Loulan Dragon Vein, right?

[Big Pillar Silly]: Yes, the sun is about to set.

[Senju Tobirama]: But right now, in this courtyard... it's still morning.

[Big Pillar Silly]: What does that mean?

[Ninja World's Number One Maple]: I understand. Although a day has passed in normal time, because Kitahara-kun has traveled through time, it is now a new day for Kitahara-kun in the Loulan Kingdom they have traveled back to.

[Ninja World's Number One Maple Breeze]: Then... the system adopted the time Kitahara-kun is currently experiencing.

【Tobirama Senju】: Yes, that's what I meant too.

[Nohara Rin]: Oh, that's great.

[Nohara Rin]: Today's time has been extended again, and I really enjoy the time I can spend with everyone.

In other words, the afterlife must be unbearable, right?

Lin.

“(Okay)．々…” Obito.

[Young Obito]: ...

[Minato Namikaze]: Ha... then I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now I can see Naruto and the others. Hmm?

However, Minato suddenly paused and exclaimed "Wait!"

Because he saw Kitahara Kaede appear in the courtyard on the screen, but suddenly a figure appeared in a corner.

That person didn't appear from hiding; he appeared out of thin air.

It appears to be a space-time ninjutsu technique being used.

A specially made kunai flew towards Kitahara Kaede, but Kitahara Kaede didn't move. Instead, a blond man wearing a mask with a Sanxingdui pattern appeared in front of him.

The blond man made a mark on the kunai, then flashed to the mark along with the movement of the kunai, and then appeared in front of Kitahara Kaede.

He seemed to scrutinize Kitahara Kaede.

Then he said, "You're wearing a Konoha headband, are you a Konoha ninja!?"

Chapter 176 The Fifth Hokage Meets the Fourth Hokage! (Please auto-read and subscribe to the full chapter)

Could they be ninjas from Konoha?

The other party asked this question, but Kitahara Kaede did not speak. Instead, the other party gently removed the mask, but instead of revealing his face, he revealed the Konoha headband symbol that was tied inside.

“I am a Konoha ninja,” the other person said. “If you are also a Konoha ninja like me, then I hope you can leave here. It’s not safe here.”

"..." The other person said this, and then their body froze.

Because two figures appeared ahead.

No.

These are not human figures, but two bloated puppets.

Without hesitation, the puppet launched laser-like attacks at them.

"Shuriken: Shadow Clone Technique!"

The ninja calmly threw shuriken at the two puppets. Although they were shuriken, it looked like a sky full of stars.

This is the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede? (^_-) Small Group]

[Big Pillar Silly]: That shuriken technique was beautiful, the execution was so flashy!

[Tobirama Senju]: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, is this an original ninjutsu?

[Ninja World's Number One Maple Fan]: No, the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is said to have been invented by the Third Hokage of Konoha... um... the current Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Mei Terumi explained.

Although young, she is very knowledgeable, but when she mentioned Hiruzen Sarutobi, she used the name Konoha, which is not quite right.

After all, she's now a member of Konoha.

So they changed their tune very quickly.

[Tobirama Senju]: Is that so, Sarutobi.

However, upon hearing Mei Terumi's explanation, Tobirama Senju seemed to lose interest.

As a support-type ninja and a top research genius, he hopes that others will conduct experiments with him to explore various forbidden ninjutsu techniques.

But... forget about Sarutobi.

The second generation leader was already...disappointed with all of his disciples.

[Big Pillar Silly]: But this Konoha ninja can use the ninjutsu developed by Sarutobi. Could it be that he has a special relationship with Sarutobi? Or could it be Sarutobi himself?

[Big Pillar Silly]: Although this is 20 years ago, Sarutobi must have been 49 years old at this time!

[Big Pillar Silly]: Could it be a transformation technique?

Minato Namikaze: Hmm...

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: Minato, what's wrong with you?

Minato Namikaze: Hmm...

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: This Konoha ninja also gives me a sense of familiarity.

[Rin Nohara]: ...

[Rin Nohara]: ...

[Young Obito]: Rin, what do you want to say?

[Nohara Rin]: Oh, didn't you also realize it? This Konoha ninja is Teacher!

Minato Namikaze: Huh!?

Minato Namikaze: Oh my god... it really is me!

[Everyone]: ...

[Big Pillar Silly]: Huh? Minato, you can't even recognize yourself?

[Minato Namikaze]: I didn't react for a moment because I don't have this memory.

[Minato Namikaze]: I thought Kitahara-kun was going to take advantage of the opportunity to travel back 20 years and then bring Naruto to Konoha to find me.

[Minato Namikaze]: But we ended up meeting here.

[Ninja World's Number One Maple Fan]: I just thought so too, that Kitahara-kun took Naruto to Konoha.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: Things suddenly took a strange turn.

·······

But here in the outside world.

"Bang bang bang!"

Minato used the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique to split a single shuriken into countless smaller ones, which then pierced through the two puppets like machine guns.

"call……"

He breathed a sigh of relief after finishing these tasks.

"Are you alright?" He finally turned around. "I don't think I've seen you before."

"But I instinctively felt that you were a Konoha ninja."

【Big Pillar Silly】: @Watergate, this is interesting.

[Minato Namikaze]: Hmm... Luckily, I didn't have a conflict with Kitahara-kun. He's a benefactor to my Namikaze family.

[Tobirama Senju]: But where did Naruto and Yamato go?

[Big Pillar Silly]: Yeah, we can't sense any trace of them around. Could it be that they got separated after time travel?

[Tobirama Senju]: That's possible, because time travel is such a fantastical thing that no one has any experience with it.

Kitahara Kaede stood up, pressing his forehead.

"Thank you very much."

(bddg) "And this is... the Loulan Kingdom?" Kitahara Kaede said. "In my time, Loulan no longer exists."

"..." Minato.

? ? ? ?

Watergate!

"Your era..."

"..." Minato. "Could it be... you're from the future!?"

As expected of Minato, he quickly realized this.

“Then let me introduce myself,” Kitahara Kaede said. He raised his left hand, and a piece of tree branch appeared in it. “The only successful experimenter of Wood Release.”

"Kitahara Kaede".

"The current Fifth Hokage."

"..." Minato.

“I see.” Minato exhaled. “Minato Namikaze, an elite Jonin of Konoha, greets the Fifth Hokage.”

"By the way, that was already the fifth generation."

“Likewise,” Kitahara Kaede said. “The Fourth Hokage.”

"..." Minato.

"..." Minato.

"...Oh my god..."

"So, the village wants me... to become the Fourth Hokage?" Minato asked in astonishment.

Minato is only 22 years old now and has not yet become the Fourth Hokage, but he has a premonition of it.

The Third Hokage allowed him to view a forbidden scroll left behind by the Second Hokage, a scroll that was supposedly only kept by the Hokage, and then the Hokage came to view it.

So, it seems there was a pre-arranged element to the third generation showing him the scroll.

However, he felt he was still young, so he didn't dare to make wild guesses.

So... that's how it is... so the Third Hokage has to give up the Fourth Hokage's position.

"So……"

Minato said, "You came here through the dragon vein, didn't you?"

"The reason I say this is because I was sent to Loulan to protect the Loulan Queen, and the client... how should I put it... is the previous Loulan Queen."

"But it seems that it took a long time for the people she arranged to arrive in Konoha, and by the time we received the mission, the previous queen had already passed away."

"But the village felt it was still necessary to carry out the mission, so they arranged for us to come and protect the Queen's daughter, who is now the new Queen Sarah."

"The reason I concluded that you are a time traveler is because our investigation revealed that there was another person named Centipede who also traveled through time before you."

"It is also suspected that he murdered the previous Loulan Queen."

"However, his strength is still unclear, so I did not make a move rashly."

"And my teammates are also responsible for protecting Queen Sara."
