Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 397: The Lost Tower, Uzumaki Naruto

At this moment, in another time and space.

Strong winds blew the yellow sand into a frenzy, forming a rapidly moving sandstorm across the desert.

Among the dilapidated ruins under the sandstorm,
A team of four people swooped down and ran, chasing a man with short brown hair, a gloomy face, and a skinny body.

"Centipede! Surrender!"

However, the man raised his head and glanced disdainfully at the new Team 7 led by the older version of Yamato, Naruto, Sakura, and Sai.
“You seem to be too late.”

As he finished speaking, he squatted in the center of the ruins, between a dilapidated high tower altar with a peculiarly shaped kunai inserted in it. A line of purple lines appeared on his body, and it actually swallowed up the seal underneath him!
"As long as I add the power of dragon veins to my puppetry,"

He opened his eyes wide and pulled out his kunai.
"In this way, I will dominate not only the five great nations, but the entire world!!"

"stop!"

Facing the sudden explosion that formed a purple light column as thick as ten meters, Naruto roared and rushed forward.
However, his entire body was engulfed by the beam of light.

next moment,
There were slight ripples in time and space, sending Centipede, Naruto and Yamato who were swallowed by the light column to different time nodes.

"That's Loulan!"

Looking at this imaginary city made up of thousands of Gothic towers approaching,
Uchiha Ci was amazed.

I thought that if this thing had more light strips outside each tower, it would immediately have a cyberpunk feel.

"There are quite a few sentinel puppets outside. No, brother, are we just going to walk in directly?"

On the side, Hidan was trembling as he watched the tall puppets flying back and forth between the towers and the tall puppets that looked like stone statues hiding in the shadows on the other side.

"What else?" Uchiha Ci turned his head away.

Uchiha can go wherever he wants!
"How about you let me go back?"

Feidan frowned and said bitterly,

"Those puppets have their own rotary blades and spiral spikes. They're not going to kill you, but they're pretty painful."

"Look at your ability. Don't worry. Just lead the way this time."

Looking at the little brother who was sent by Orochimaru to scout the terrain several times and was scared by a bunch of puppets, Uchiha Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.
"If you want to use the evil god cult's curses well in a battle, the key is physical ability. Orochimaru is honing your physical skills. So far, it seems that the effect is not bad."

"In terms of taijutsu alone, you are now an excellent genin."

"What? I've been through death seven or eight times, and I'm just a Genin?" Feiduan cried out in dissatisfaction.

"After all, I have to be a special Chunin!"

Uchiha Ci twitched his lips slightly, did not respond to the conversation, walked straight forward, and officially stepped into the scope of the Thousand Towers.

This city of Loulan, known as the Thousand Towers,
It corresponds to the "Lost Tower" chapter in the original work. It roughly tells the story of Naruto, who was in the period before Pain's invasion and died more than ten years later, and was teleported to the past by the power of the dragon vein while hunting down the ambitious Centipede. He embarked on an adventure in the most prosperous era of Loulan.

Judging from the time, Naruto arrived at the same era as Uchiha Ci is now.

It was during the Third Ninja World War, and Minato Namikaze had not yet become the Fourth Hokage.

I just don't know whether Naruto and Minato have met and sealed the dragon vein, or they have never met. Maybe this plot will unfold after some time?

But if he accidentally destroyed the city in the process of arresting the White Snake Immortal, would the future plot still happen?
Recalling the contents of the original work, Uchiha Ci stepped into the tower.
At this moment, as if sensing the intruder's attack,

On the surrounding high towers, cold purple gazes suddenly lit up!
Then,

Six puppets that looked like small Gundams jumped down from the sky, swinging their rotating drills and fan-like wind blades, aiming at Uchiha Ci's head and attacking together! "How could this be? This position should be defense-free! "

"Hey, Ci, be careful!!" Fei Duan couldn't help but exclaimed.
however,
Uchiha Ci didn't even bother to raise his eyes, and casually took out two shurikens from the ninja tool bag on his waist, pinched them between his fingertips, and threw them away casually.

The two shurikens drew two spiral arcs and shot out rapidly!

bass! bass! bass! bass! bass! bass!
It was as if some non-existent thread had been cut, cutting off the energy supply.

Six mighty and majestic puppets fell to the ground like kites with broken strings.

In the original work, Naruto had to fight hard for a while before he could defeat a dragon vein puppet with the Rasengan. In front of Uchiha Ci today, it is just such a toy.

In other words, in front of the Uchiha who is proficient in shuriken techniques and fights with his eyesight, puppetry is something that is naturally countered.

Looking at the puppets paralyzed on the ground in front of him, Uchiha Ci was silent.

I have a feeling that I have reached the maximum level and returned to the novice village.

The map of the Ninja World also seemed to have some problems. He always felt that this kind of enemy was more in line with his upgrade curve when he just left the village.
"The puppets are controlled by chakra lines. If you want to defeat this kind of enemy, you have to find the weak spot, otherwise it will be useless to attack."

Pointing at the weak points of several puppets, he was about to give the little brother a brief instruction.
And then,
In the distance, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting!

Uchiha Ci raised his head and vaguely seemed to see a familiar yellow-haired person flash by.

"That's Minato?"

Blinking his eyes, Uchiha Ci immediately dragged Feidan forward and continued to walk forward with a smile on his face.
"Come on, follow me to the front."

"It seems like there's something exciting to watch."

the other side,
"hateful!"

The yellow-haired boy with a dusty face held a blue chakra short sword and jumped around the towers in a panic, dodging the various ninja tools shot by the puppets.
"If they keep coming one after another, we won't be able to deal with them all even with the chakra knife!"

In the battle, Naruto initially mastered the use of the Chakra Sword, and it was with great difficulty that he defeated the puppets in the first round.
But as if poking a hornet's nest, four puppets flew down from the top of the higher tower.
Looking at this scene, Naruto's face turned slightly bitter.

Just as he was about to dodge the ninja tools,
However, this time,
The puppet suddenly took off its visor, and a cannon barrel extended from its face.
The purple dragon vein energy gathered crazily from the cannon barrel growing on his face.
Then, it turned into a thick purple beam of light and shot down!

"Hiss!" Naruto was startled and had no time to dodge.
"--boom!"

The bridge connecting the two tall towers where he was standing collapsed in an instant, and Naruto fell from mid-air and crashed into the ruins of a building.

"It hurts, it hurts," he grimaced as he struggled to get up, covering his injured leg.

When I looked up,

Four puppets in mid-air have already flown in front of him, forming a formation, and a storm of ninja tools with purple chakra lines is gushing out from the jet holes on their chests!
However, just as Naruto opened his eyes wide and was about to be forced to use the power of the Nine-Tails,
"boom!!!"

Suddenly,

A red-haired figure flew in from nowhere, and the huge gust of air it created instantly blew away the four puppets.
Then, he raised his hand casually.
A brilliant light cannon lit up in the palm of his hand, and instantly spurted out, transforming into a blade of light that swept across!
The four puppets were instantly blasted into scrap metal!

Naruto looked at the person in surprise, his eyes widened.
"You are the Scorpion of the Red Sand?!"

"Oh? Have you heard of me?"

Scorpion turned his head and raised his eyebrows slightly. The next moment, a look of surprise and ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Hey, Kyuubi?"
