Master, Please Become a Hokage

After the two agreed on a plan of action, Minato Namikaze instantly used the Body Flicker Technique and left the scene.

"Summoning Technique!"

After Minato Namikaze left, Ryo Sarutobi immediately summoned Katsuyu.

Kakashi ran to the side to watch the battle.

This level of battle was extremely rare and a valuable opportunity to observe.

Of course, this level of combat was also something he couldn't interfere with at all.

"Young Master Ryo, allow me to witness your power!"

Katsuyu opened its mouth and released a stream of concentrated bio-acid.

The surface of An Lushan that was corroded immediately evaporated, turning into smoke.

However, as a beam of purple light struck down from the tower, his puppet body began to regenerate.

"Hahaha! It's useless! As long as the Dragon Vein is here, I am invincible!"

With that said, An Lushan's hands turned into sharp blades, and then the blades rotated, like a chainsaw.

"Puppet Spinning Fist!!!"

The 20-meter-tall giant spun around, its power earth-shattering.

An Lushan swept across the area, crushing countless objects.

Boom boom boom!!!

After a series of explosions, An Lushan crashed into Katsuyu's body, and Katsuyu tilted to one side. In terms of absolute power, Katsuyu was inferior to other summoned beasts of the same size.

However, An Lushan's impact didn't hurt Katsuyu at all.

Even if Katsuyu's flesh was cut open, it wouldn't prevent Katsuyu from reorganizing.

"What should we do?" Katsuyu asked in a deep voice.

This guy in front of them could regenerate endlessly because of the Dragon Vein.

And when the summoning duration was up, Katsuyu would return to Shikkotsu Forest.

"Lend me your chakra."

Ryo Sarutobi didn't hesitate and directly asked Katsuyu to borrow chakra.

The summoned beasts of the Three Great Sage Lands all had special abilities.

One of Katsuyu's special abilities was to transmit chakra to others.

This was a high-level technique that only medical ninjas and perfect Jinchuriki could master, belonging to the category of Yang Release/Yin Release.

"Crystal Release..."

Ryo Sarutobi, standing on top of Katsuyu's head, began to form hand seals.

Katsuyu hesitated for a moment, but still lent chakra to Ryo Sarutobi.

With the borrowing of an extremely large amount of chakra, the chakra within Ryo Sarutobi's body suddenly increased to an unimaginable level.

"...Crystal Wall Eight Formations!"

Crack crack crack!

Eight huge crystal pillars began to emerge around An Lushan.

These crystal pillars grew rapidly, and finally merged with each other, directly enveloping An Lushan within.

Because it was a barrier technique, it completely shielded external chakra disturbances.

An Lushan tried to struggle, but was locked in more and more tightly by the barrier.

In the end... he could only watch his body stagnate, solidify, and then...

"Heh heh heh... As expected of the Black Reaper..."

An Lushan's voice came from the barrier.

Before completely solidifying, he still had something to say.

"But, this is not the end. Not... the end..."

Before Ryo Sarutobi could think about the meaning of these words.

The light in An Lushan's eyes slowly went out, and finally lost its power.

"Katsuyu, thank you."

Ryo Sarutobi stared at An Lushan in front of him.

He was already trapped by the barrier.

The chakra of an entire Katsuyu clone had been transformed into the power of the barrier.

An Lushan wouldn't be able to get out of it for a while.

And when Minato Namikaze closed the Dragon Vein and he completely lost his power source, he would become a turtle in a jar.

Ryo Sarutobi: "Solved..."

......

On the other side.

Minato Namikaze had already gone deep underground and arrived near the "Eye" of the Dragon Vein.

However, the following conversation completely subverted his understanding.

"Heh heh heh, Yellow Flash, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

An Lushan stood next to the Eye of the Dragon Vein, quietly staring at Minato Namikaze who had come.

"?!"

Minato Namikaze immediately held the Flying Thunder God Kunai and took an offensive stance.

An Lushan stretched out his hand and activated a certain technique.

As a white flash passed, the light instantly illuminated Minato Namikaze.

This phenomenon, which was like sunlight shining, was impossible for even Minato Namikaze to avoid.

"Crap..."

Just when he thought he was being attacked, some familiar chakra made Minato Namikaze feel inexplicable.

"This is... my chakra?!"

In the white flash, countless memory images flashed back.

Intermittently, not continuously.

By capturing the limited images, Minato Namikaze suddenly learned many memories that he had never had.

No... it should be said, memories of the future!

Not the "original future" predicted by the Great Toad Sage.

But the "distorted future" that had begun to deviate.

"Then... live well in the vortex of fearful memories..." After transmitting his memories, An Lushan's body began to shatter. With a burst of chakra projection, he actually committed suicide in front of Minato Namikaze!

"......"

Minato Namikaze stared blankly, still watching those future selves, transmitting to the past... that is, giving memory information to the current self...

Chapter 56. What is the future like?

A moment later.

Ryo Sarutobi brought Kakashi to the Dragon Vein sealing site.

Minato Namikaze was already standing next to the Dragon Vein's formation eye, preparing to apply the seal.

At this moment, the Dragon Vein had already begun to boil.

From normal purple, it turned scarlet.

The earth continued to shake, indicating that An Lushan had triggered the Dragon Vein, causing an unstable state.

If left unchecked, this place would blow everyone to smithereens.

"Minato, are you ready?" Ryo Sarutobi asked.

"Yeah."

Minato Namikaze's expression looked a little complicated. He nodded, quickly hiding the strangeness in his eyes.

Receiving the memories transmitted from his future self had shocked Minato Namikaze's mind.

An Lushan...

Did not return to the past on his own through the Dragon Vein.

But was sent back by his future self.

Using An Lushan as a carrier to carry the memories of future people.

Or perhaps it was because his future self had little experience in transmitting future memories, so the memories that were transmitted back were incomplete.

It may also be that the original complete memory was scattered due to the influence of the power of time and space.

But in any case.

His future self gave his current self many useful things.

Among them, including various S-rank techniques... even forbidden techniques!

Minato Namikaze didn't know what his future self had encountered to send An Lushan back to the past.

An Lushan may just be an experimental subject of his future self.

However.

Minato Namikaze still realized that his future self had selectively chosen the information to be transmitted, rather than sending back all the memories.

Different from the "original future" predicted by the Great Toad Sage.

His future self came from the "distorted future", which was also the trajectory of the deviation of his current world.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

"In any case, with the cultivation memories and techniques given by my future self... I can surpass myself in any time and space..."

Minato Namikaze calmed his mind and began to seal the Dragon Vein.

"Young Master Ryo, the sealing of the Dragon Vein's power will cause unpredictable changes. It may interfere with our memories. Please be prepared..."

Minato Namikaze explained.

It was not the sealing that caused the memory loss.

But An Lushan first created a time-space distortion, which would take away memories that should not exist.

"Yeah, no problem." Ryo Sarutobi also knew a little about the concept of space-time ninjutsu.

Knowing that Minato Namikaze's sealing would only correct some things, he let him seal it.

"Seal!"

As Minato Namikaze inserted the Flying Thunder God Kunai into the formation eye.

A white light flashed, and everything... was corrected...
