When Minato Namikaze took off his mask, Uzumaki Naruto was completely stunned.
And when Shindai saw Uzumaki Naruto immediately recognize Minato Namikaze, he instantly perked up.
Uzumaki Naruto recognized Minato Namikaze right away, so that means... the future Minato Namikaze didn't die?
That would be great. If Minato Namikaze didn't die, then he would always have someone to protect him. Wouldn't that guarantee his happy life?
Shindai, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara also took off their masks.
Uzumaki Naruto also recognized the four of them immediately.
"Big Brother Shindai, Kakashi-sensei, Brother Obito, Sister Lin... What's going on?!"
Minato Namikaze looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a strange expression.
Now, Minato Namikaze could also confirm it.
This green-haired kid in front of him was his child from the future.
Obito asked, puzzled, "What? Do we know you? Also, why do you call Minato-sensei 'Dad'? First of all, Minato-sensei isn't even married yet, and even if he were, it's impossible for him to have a son as old as you!"
Kakashi frowned and said, "However, he called each of our names accurately."
Rin Nohara tilted her head and looked at Uzumaki Naruto: "It's true, how strange! Who exactly are you?"
Shindai, whose height was temporarily insufficient, wrapped an arm around Uzumaki Naruto's bewildered waist and said with a smile, "I see a face full of righteousness on him, he's definitely not a bad person. He's probably very low-key when he's in Konoha, which is why we don't know him, but he's seen us. After all, a few of us are somewhat famous, right?"
Obito said strangely, "But, what's going on with him calling Minato-sensei 'Dad'? And... he looks older than us, doesn't he? It's not quite right for him to call us 'Brother' and'Sister', is it?"
Shindai was choked, unable to explain.
Shindai nudged Uzumaki Naruto with his elbow, urging Uzumaki Naruto to quickly make something up.
Uzumaki Naruto was now also starting to realize that with the younger versions of Minato Namikaze, as well as the younger versions of Shindai, Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara, he seemed to have traveled back in time.
Uzumaki Naruto, having collected himself, scratched his head and chuckled dryly, "Ha, my big brother told me that when you meet people, you call them 'Brother' or'Sister', and when you meet powerful people, you call them 'Mom' or 'Dad', regardless of age. That way, people will look favorably on me and think I'm a polite and well-mannered person."
Minato Namikaze's eyelid twitched.
His future child, why did he feel... unreliable?
And he vaguely saw Shindai's shadow on Uzumaki Naruto.
Kakashi pointed at Shindai and asked, "Then why do you call him 'Big Brother'? And why do you call me'Sensei'?"
"That's... that's because..."
Uzumaki Naruto was now breaking out in a cold sweat, he couldn't make it up anymore.
Shindai helped Uzumaki Naruto out of the predicament, saying, "Of course it's because I'm handsome! Right?"
Uzumaki Naruto's expression was slightly distorted, his eyes unconsciously darting upwards, and he stammered, "Um... yes, that's right, because you're too handsome, so I unconsciously called you 'Big Brother'."
Obito said unhappily, "What you're saying is too guilty and too forced, it's obviously a lie! Am I not handsome?"
Not only was Obito unhappy, but even Shindai was very unhappy: "You guy, why do you make that face when you say I'm handsome!"
Minato Namikaze interrupted the conversation between Shindai and the others, and said directly, "Alright, let's stop talking about this. We've accepted a top-secret mission and came from Konoha. Indeed, this is not the Roran you know. I think... you must be someone who came here from the future."
"Future?" Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara all looked at Uzumaki Naruto in shock: "Are you saying that this guy is really Minato-sensei's child?"
Obito asked excitedly, "Hey, what's your name?"
Uzumaki Naruto's entire brain was in disarray: "Uzu, Uzumaki Naruto..."
Rin Nohara asked very curiously, "Eh, you have the same surname as Kushina-sama. Why don't you have Minato-sensei's surname?"
Uzumaki Naruto explained, "Be, because there are very few members of the Uzumaki Clan left, so Dad hoped that as Mom's child, I could continue the Uzumaki Clan, which is why I have my mom's surname."
Obito excitedly asked, "What happened in the future? Did I end up with the person I like? Did I become Hokage? Did I step on Shindai and Kakashi?"
Minato Namikaze placed a hand on Obito's shoulder: "Alright, don't ask, Obito. If people from the future get involved with this era, the flow of time might change dramatically. Things that were supposed to happen in the future might not happen. This place is probably many years earlier than Naruto's era.
And six years ago, there was also a Ninja who came here from the future, just like you, Naruto, a sudden visitor. The name of this Ninja is Mukade."
Uzumaki Naruto quickly said, "We are pursuing Mukade!"
Minato Namikaze asked, "What exactly did you encounter? Can you tell me? Perhaps we can find some clues."
Uzumaki Naruto recalled as he spoke, "We pursued Mukade, pushing him all the way to the Dragon Vein, but he swallowed the Sealing Jutsu into his body. Then Big Brother Shindai kicked me into the energy pillar, and then I appeared here."
Minato Namikaze and the three others, including Obito, all looked at Shindai.
Uzumaki Naruto also looked at Shindai with a resentful gaze.
Shindai took a step back from their gazes and retorted, "Hey, hey, hey, first of all, whether the 'Big Brother Shindai' he mentioned is me or not, even if it is me, it was something done by the future me, it has nothing to do with the present me! Don't look at me like that!"
Obito complained, "Shindai, you guy, it seems even when you grow up in the future, you'll still be like this."
Shindai retorted defiantly, "What's wrong with me being like this? I think it's great!"
Minato Namikaze continued, "So you and Mukade both traveled back in time from the future using Space-Time Ninjutsu."
Uzumaki Naruto suddenly became terrified: "Then I can't go back, can I?"
Minato Namikaze reassured him, "There's still a chance. If what you say is true, and he swallowed the Jutsu into his body, then as long as you defeat Mukade, time will return to normal, and you'll be able to go back to the future."
"Really?" Upon hearing Minato Namikaze say this, Uzumaki Naruto became happy again. It was good if he could go back.
Minato Namikaze nodded and said, "Yes, and Naruto, don't talk about the future anymore. Knowing too much might change history. In any case, we must defeat Mukade quickly, otherwise the era will become even more distorted. The power of the Dragon Vein sleeps within Roran. Mukade is using this power to develop Puppet Technique weapons."
Uzumaki Naruto recalled, "That's right, Mukade did say something like that, infusing the power of the Dragon Vein into Puppet Technique, and he also said that the whole world would be at his command..."
"Shut up! You people, stop lying!"
Sara, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Naruto with emotional intensity.
