I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Speaking of Kakashi, it seems he has never shown his true face to anyone.

·······

Boom!

With a distinct knock on the door, Minato breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is my teammate who's back."

"That's what Minato said," he explained, then went to open the door.

The person who entered was also a mysterious figure associated with Sanxingdui. He was wearing a green coat, and even though he covered his face with a mask, he still seemed to have a very low profile.

"!"

When his teammates came in, they found Kitahara Kaede inside the room.

It seemed like they became wary.

Then he looked at Minato with a searching gaze.

Chapter 180 Naruto is the Seventh Hokage! (Please auto-read and subscribe to the full chapter)

Minato introduced, "This is a ninja from Konoha."

"We came here because of a mission."

"Like the previous centipede, it came through time and space via the dragon vein."

Minato explained,

"And he is the current Fifth Hokage of Konoha - Kitahara Kaede."

"Fifth Boss, this is my teammate Shii Aburame. And there is another teammate, Kushina Uzumaki, who is responsible for protecting Queen Sara."

Minato's introduction showed that he trusted the team members and that everyone knew about Centipede.

Because of the precedent of the centipede, people were mentally prepared to accept that Kitahara Kaede was a time traveler.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Aburame Shiki thought for a moment and took off her mask.

It was an ordinary face wearing black sunglasses.

However, he seemed somewhat hesitant.

I don't know whether I should pledge allegiance to Kitahara Kaede.

But... you know, there isn't even a fourth generation in the village right now, and now they're suddenly saying it's the fifth generation...

He hesitated.

“It’s alright.” Kitahara Kaede noticed Aburame Shii’s hesitation. “I didn’t come here alone; I have two teammates with me.”

"However, we were separated from them after we traveled through time."

"Therefore, we need to obtain their information quickly."

“If the person you’re looking for is from Konoha, then I think I know,” Aburame Shiki said.

He is a member of the Konoha Insect Master clan, and is himself a burrow for insects, with countless kinds of insects bred on his body.

It can also communicate with insects and obtain information from them.

It is a very convenient intelligence-type ninja.

"I also obtained a piece of information by sending the insects to gather intelligence."

"The insects informed me that I encountered a blond ninja wearing a Konoha headband in Loulan."

"But he doesn't seem to be on the ninja register."

"He has blond hair like Minato, but very few people in Konoha have blond hair."

"And even fewer people can become ninjas."

"He has been arrested."

"That's why I came back to report the news," Aburame Shiki said.

"what!"

Before Kitahara Kaede could react, Minato suddenly appeared in front of Aburame Shimi.

Minato grabbed Aburame Shii's collar directly.

Where is Naruto now?

"Are we surrounded?"

Minato was so excited that he stunned Kakashi, who was standing to the side, and also left Shiono Aburame somewhat bewildered.

Aburame Shiki and Minato were classmates, and Minato was very outstanding, so he volunteered to become Minato's second-in-command. Minato always appeared gentle and capable, as if he could quickly complete any task assigned to him.

But this loss of composure is something people are seeing for the first time.

"Well……"

"I overreacted."

Minato immediately noticed Aburame Shiki's expression and scratched his head.

Then he pushed his body away.

"that……"

"So...Naruto..."

But he opened his mouth but didn't know how to say it.

Kitahara Kaede continued, "If it's a blond boy around my age, then it should be one of my teammates, Uzumaki Naruto."

"The future Seventh Hokage," Kitahara Kaede said.

"..."X3

The Seventh Generation.

Kakashi, Minato, and Shimi Aburame were all stunned for a moment.

Kakashi was thinking about his past dream of becoming Hokage... but now not only has the Fifth Hokage appeared... but even the Seventh Hokage has been decided.

So... no matter how hard you try, it's all for nothing, right?

He won't be able to get the position of Hokage.

Is it really necessary to be so cruel?

"Naruto... is he the Seventh Hokage?!"

Minato remembered Kitahara Kaede telling him that he would become the Fourth Hokage.

Although knowing beforehand is not good and may affect one's mindset, the fact that the Third Hokage showed him the Book of Sealing meant that everything was basically predetermined.

So he was quite happy to receive information from Kitahara Kaede that he would become the Fourth Hokage.

only……

As the Fourth Hokage, Naruto didn't know his parents' identities, which was very sad.

This suggests that he will definitely die young in the future.

Eh.

I knew the tragic ending even before it started.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't feeling down.

Minato, though excellent, was still just a young ninja, and now he had heard new news from Kitahara Kaede…

Is Naruto the Seventh Hokage?

Naruto must have gone through a lot of suffering, but he still became the Seventh Hokage in the end. (Dema Zhao)

As expected of his son.

"Although Naruto isn't very strong right now, he's still at the level of an elite Jonin. Would he be so easily captured?"

Kitahara Kaede felt something was off.

If Naruto is really captured, then wouldn't that mean all the special training he received in the past was meaningless?

Therefore, the plan to train Naruto and Sasuke to be Konoha's top henchmen against the Otsutsuki clan needs to be revised.

“Regarding this…” Aburame Shiki quickly replied, “Actually, he was entangled.”

"And those who captured him were the elderly, weak, women and children of Loulan."

“He couldn’t use force against them,” Aburame Shii said.

It turned out to be the case.

So Naruto was just throwing the bait...

Chapter 181 Your father is among these people! (Please auto-play and subscribe to the full chapter!)

When Kitahara Kaede took over Konoha, the village's population, including ninjas and ordinary villagers, totaled a little over 2.

Although Loulan was called a country, it was actually only the size of a village.

The number of people is still relatively small, around 1.

It is because of these people that such a tall city wall was built.

These towers are over ten meters tall, and unlike the ground floor buildings of Konoha, they give people a feeling of unparalleled prosperity.

But this is just an illusion.

The residents of the city were forbidden from leaving their rooms, and the puppets that roamed outside were the ones that had been created.

People are not allowed to leave the city, but the puppets disguise themselves as residents and walk around.

Very weird.

Not only that.

These residents who were prohibited from leaving their homes were mostly the elderly, women, and children, while the able-bodied men and women in their families were taken away directly by people arranged by the royal palace.

Minato and his team suspected that this was a conspiracy by Centipede, but they couldn't pinpoint the exact nature of the conspiracy.

"Isn't it quite clear where these young adults are headed?"

Kitahara Kaede said, sitting on the edge of the window.

Looking down, you can see some puppets mimicking human figures walking down the street.

With a focused gaze, one can see that these puppets are controlled by chakra threads.

The threads of chakra converged upwards to form a conduit.

It can be sensed that a large amount of chakra is gathering in the pipe and then being distributed to the puppet.

Kitahara Kaede pointed to the chakra channels.

"The source of that chakra must be the core dragon vein of Loulan."

“Yes.” Minato nodded. “Six years ago, Centipede came here and presented the puppetry technique to the then Queen of Loulan.”

"Therefore, the Loulan Kingdom began to combine puppetry with dragon veins in its development."

"It seems to be aimed at making people's lives more convenient."

"But soon the Loulan Queen died, and Bai Zu, who was in charge of assisting the new queen, established himself by adopting the alias An Lushan and becoming a high-ranking official in the Loulan Kingdom."

"Then, Centipede took charge of all the subsequent puppet making."

"And it was around that time that the number of people began to decrease."

"And a large number of young people were taken away."

"We suspect they are somewhere in the city."

"But we couldn't find any trace of them."

"After all, they were taken away a long time ago."

Minato said.

In fact, his account already revealed that his team possessed a great deal of information.
