I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Just then, the young Queen Sarah arrived at the railing, but the railing collapsed with a bang.

She frantically looked up, but she was already falling!

"It's a motor!"

Minato's figure flashed out without a second thought.

He had assumed Kushina would stay by Queen Sara's side to protect her, but he couldn't find any trace of her around.

But their mission here is to protect Sarah.

So I acted without even thinking!

Aburame Shiki realized that he was a Jonin of Konoha, so he immediately prepared to instruct the insects to help.

But some people are faster than them.

"Wood Release!"

Kitahara Kaede's body flashed instantly, arriving at the third-floor balcony of another tower.

A large expanse of trees sprouted from Kitahara Kaede's right hand, then spread out with a thud, flattened out, and then looked like a huge wooden bed had grown out of 150 meters.

When Queen Sara fell, she landed on the partition layer that Kitahara Kaede had directly created.

The branch was made of a high-quality rubber compound, so when she landed on it with a thud, she wasn't injured.

"brush!"

Kitahara Kaede gently swung his right hand, and the trees retracted. The still somewhat bewildered Queen Sara followed the movement of the branches to the tower on his side.

"It seems he's not injured," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Did you save me?" Queen Sarah seemed to be in a daze for a moment.

“Mm.” Kitahara Kaede nodded.

"Then why did you save me?!"

However, Queen Sara swiftly removed her crown with one hand and glared at Kitahara Kaede. "Do you know you've ruined my meticulously planned scheme!"

"Now, Sarah will never believe me!"

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

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

[Big Pillar Silly]: What's wrong with this queen?

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: Her daughter looks polite and gentle, so why is she, the mother, so fierce?

Minato Namikaze: ...

Minato Namikaze: ...

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: Minato-sensei, what did you discover?

[Minato Namikaze]: Well, there's something off about this Queen Sara.

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: Something's not right?

【Minato Namikaze】: Hmm... This temper seems to be someone I know.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Who is that?

【Minato Namikaze】: It is Kushina Uzumaki.

【Minato Namikaze】: Although we didn't spend a lot of time together, this personality is probably him.

[Minato Namikaze]: And if I'm not mistaken, look... Kitahara-kun's gaze has shifted downwards.

Yes.

Everyone noticed that Kitahara Kaede was looking down at the crowd.

The ones below are all puppets, but not all of them are.

Because of the figure of a girl wearing a headscarf in the crowd.

Her gaze was fixed upwards, directly towards Queen Sarah.

She covered her head with both hands as if she was about to leave.

And this girl with the headscarf... isn't she none other than the young Queen Sara of Loulan?

Sarah...two Sarahs?

Big Pillar was completely dumbfounded.

[Big Pillar Silly]: So what happened? Minato, please explain.

[Minato Namikaze]: You want me to explain? How should I put it?

[Minato Namikaze]: Based on the information we have obtained so far, I know that my squad went here 20 years ago to protect Queen Sara.

[Minato Namikaze]: His teammates were Shiki Aburame from the Aburame clan, Kushina Uzumaki, and Kakashi Jr.

[Minato Namikaze]: Shiki Aburame and I were responsible for finding information and inside stories about Centipede, while Kushina, being a woman like Sara, was assigned to provide close protection.

[Minato Namikaze]: Presumably, in order to gain Sara's trust during this process, we told Sara about her trusted minister, Centipede... Well, now in Loulan, Centipede has changed his name to An Lushan.

[Minato Namikaze]: So the situation is very likely like this. Twenty years ago, I told Sara about An Lushan's identity, but Sara didn't believe me.

[Minato Namikaze]: Kushina, on the other hand, felt that An Lushan would be detrimental to Sara, and might even eliminate her during this festival. Therefore, she impersonated Sara and personally went back to risk her life.

[Minato Namikaze]: The purpose was probably to let Sara see An Lushan's true colors directly with her own eyes.

[Minato Namikaze]: But the current situation is... Sara saw the scene of Kushina being rescued, so... she might think that Kushina was staging the whole thing herself.

【Minato Namikaze】：╮(╯▽╰)╭。

[Minato Namikaze]: And so it turned out like this.

[Big Pillar Silly]: So that's how it is.

In the real world...

"Put me down now!"

Kushina wanted to break free from Kitahara Kaede's grasp.

Chapter 187 Naruto's Brief Happiness with Both Parents Here! (Please auto-click and subscribe to the full chapter)

Kushina wanted to break free from Kitahara Kaede's wrist, but she was surprised to find that despite her immense strength, she was unable to break free.

The other person looked younger than her, but was much stronger.

"Sarah has left."

"It seems the plan has failed."

Kushina could only look down, but she could no longer find Sara in the crowd.

However, she saw Minato's figure flash past below - nearby.

It's likely that Minato will secretly protect Sara.

"What strange thing are you talking about?" Kushina said. "You're a Konoha ninja, aren't you?"

"They're really just making things worse."

Kushina was very dissatisfied, but Kitahara Kaede had already let her go.

She quickly flexed her wrist.

I wanted to pursue her, but then I gave up.

"..." Kitahara Kaede. "Uzumaki Kushina, right?"

I don't like hearing that.

"Although your impersonation of Sarah surprised me for a moment."

Kitahara Kaede said, "But even if I don't stop your plan, it won't make any difference."

"Because Sarah won't change her mind."

"You're wasting your time."

“Or rather… you’re just working for nothing,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"……ha!"

Kushina's emotions seemed to be about to surface.

She was a survivor of the Uzumaki clan and was brought to Konoha to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

She knew all of these things.

But the villagers didn't really accept her.

When she went to pay her respects to Lady Mito Uzumaki, Lady Mito told her to be patient, and also reminded her that whether or not she was respected was up to her, and that as her strength increased, the way others viewed her would also change.

People from the Land of Whirlpools don't need to feel inferior. The Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan have been allies for a long time.

So, after she relaxed and worked hard to improve her skills, the people around her finally stopped pointing fingers at her.

But now... am I being ostracized again?

They even said he was working for nothing!

"Kushina!"

At this moment, Aburame Shiki arrived.

"Kushina, do not be rude to this lord," Aburame Shiki said.

"..." Kushina Uzumaki. "Your attitude is weird. Don't you dislike flattery?"

"Uh..." Shiki Aburame choked a little. "I'm not flattering you, this is the Fifth Hokage from the future."

"What he just used was the Wood Release technique of the First Hokage."

"..." Uzumaki Kushina.

Kushina Uzumaki is an intelligent person.

She knows many things and accepts them directly.

but.

Wood Release.

indeed.

The person who just saved me used the power of Wood Release, and currently no ninja can use the ability to transform into trees.

so……

"So it really is from the future?"

Kushina found it unbelievable.

“It’s from the future,” Kitahara Kaede said.

“Then I also brought your son along,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"..." Kushina. "Are you crazy?!"

“I don’t even have a boyfriend or a family yet, and you’re telling me I have a son!” Kushina Uzumaki’s attention was instantly drawn.

“This isn’t the place to talk,” Kitahara Kaede said.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

"..." Kushina's dark green pupils hesitated for a moment, then she followed Kitahara Kaede back to the tower they had been in before.

Upon entering, they discovered that only Kakashi remained; Naruto and Minato were no longer there.

"Minato-sensei went to follow Sara."

"Then... Naruto followed them." Kakashi reported.

The elderly, women, and children who were originally staying here were moved to the next room by Kakashi.

Unlike Naruto, Kakashi, though also very young, always prioritized missions, so he didn't care about his comrades, let alone ordinary people like you.
