Konoha: The Foundation's revelation at the outset shocks the world.

Lu Chen carried Sarah, skimming along the ground in an arc to absorb the force of her fall, and finally landed on another tall building nearby.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon noticing that Sara had been caught, and landed on Takahashi, who was standing nearby.

Although the figure was not clearly visible, the speed at which the movement was executed undoubtedly indicated that it was Lu Chen who made the move.

Only then did Kakashi have time to pay attention to the ninja opposite him, and he discovered that the ninja was wearing a Konoha headband—he was a Konoha ninja!

Chapter 248 The Influence of Appearance on the Plot

the other side.

The golden-haired ninja was Naruto, who had traveled from the future, twenty years in the future, due to the distortion of spacetime by the energy of the Dragon Vein. He breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Sara being rescued by others after falling.

"fine……"

While he breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze also tightened slightly.

That speed.

So fast!

At this time, Naruto had only mastered the half-finished Rasenshuriken, had not yet mastered Sage Mode, had not received the experience from Pain's Six Paths, and his strength had not yet reached the level of a Kage.

Of course, if the power of the Nine-Tails were unleashed, that would be a different story. A complete Nine-Tails transformation would directly give one the strength of a Kage. If Ashura's chakra were also unleashed, alarming the Sage of Six Paths, it wouldn't be impossible for him to reach the Six Paths level on the spot.

However, in Lu Chen's opinion, Naruto's most terrifying skill is his talk-no-jutsu, one of the ultimate techniques in the ninja world.

Even a big boss like Nagato, who can subdue all sorts of monsters like Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, and Sasori, was persuaded to give up his life after being hit by his talk-no-jutsu and even revived the enemies he had killed. He's even more useful than Kotoamatsukami!

Whoosh! !

Lu Chen landed on the corridor of the high-rise building.

The girl in his arms had closed her eyes in fright, but after realizing that she seemed to be alright, she cautiously opened her eyes.

"……what."

When Sarah saw Lu Chen's face clearly, she froze for a moment, and then it took her a few seconds to react. Her cheeks flushed red, and she said, "Let...let me go."

Tsk!

Seeing Sara's state, Lu Chen couldn't help but click his tongue. He remembered that in the normal plot, Naruto should have received two slaps on the spot, but his reaction was completely different.

So, does a difference in appearance really lead to drastically different plot developments?

Ugh.

It seems there's another girl who's lusting after him.

So, I guess I'll have to wear a mask like Kakashi from now on?

"Thank you, thank you for saving me... Oh, by the way, who are you?!"

Sarah, who had been put down, seemed a little hesitant to meet Lu Chen's gaze. She looked away slightly and thanked him cautiously before suddenly realizing what was happening and looking at Lu Chen to ask a question.

Lu Chen looked at her and said, "I am a ninja from Konoha. I heard that something happened in this town, so I received a mission to come here to investigate."

"That's it..."

Sarah nodded, just as she was about to say that everything was normal and there was no problem, when two figures swept over from a distance and landed beside her.

It was Kakashi and Naruto, who had exchanged blows in mid-air earlier.

Kakashi pointed at Naruto with his thumb and said, "Big brother, this guy claims to be a Konoha ninja, but I've never seen him before."

Naruto looked at Kakashi and said with dissatisfaction, "I've never seen either of you before. And what's going on? Are you here on a mission too?"

It would have been better if this hadn't been said.

As soon as he said that, Kakashi's expression changed immediately. He instantly placed a kunai against Naruto's neck and said in a deep voice, "You are not a Konoha ninja!"

How could the ninjas of Konoha not recognize Lu Chen!

Let alone Konoha, even among the ninjas of the Five Great Nations, there are probably very few who don't recognize Lu Chen. The only ones who wouldn't recognize Lu Chen's identity are probably isolated ninjas scattered among the people, without any organization.

"What are you talking about... I don't think you're the Konoha ninjas at all!"

Naruto's gaze sharpened instantly as he looked at the kunai held to his neck and immediately spoke.

Lu Chen shook his head as he watched this scene and said, "Let him go, Kakashi. He is indeed a Konoha ninja, but not a 'current' Konoha ninja."

"what?"

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Chen meant, but he still obeyed Lu Chen's words, took two steps back, and released Naruto.

Naruto touched his neck, then suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Kakashi in surprise, saying, "Your name is Kakashi?"

Let me explain what happened...

This guy does look a lot like Kakashi-sensei, except he's much younger.

"what happened?"

Kakashi frowned as he looked at Naruto.

Lu Chen gestured to Kakashi, signaling him to be quiet, and then slowly said, "It seems the intelligence was correct. The Dragon Vein energy did indeed distort spacetime. This guy must be from the future... By the way, it's Konoha Year 45 now."

"Konoha 45th year?"

Naruto was somewhat confused after hearing the first half of Lu Chen's words, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately looked astonished and said, "Isn't it sixty-four years?"

Before Naruto could immediately grasp the situation, Kakashi gradually came to his senses, revealing an expression of understanding, and looked at Naruto, asking, "What is your relationship with Kakashi?"

"Kakashi is my teacher..."

Naruto, still in a daze, replied.

Upon hearing this answer, Kakashi's expression immediately fell, and he said, "Huh?! You're my disciple? How could my future self take on such a stupid disciple!"

In Kakashi's opinion, Naruto, who still doesn't understand the situation, has questionable intelligence. How could he possibly have taken on such a disciple in the future!

Naruto was completely bewildered by Kakashi's words.

It wasn't until Kakashi explained it to him weakly for a long time that he finally roughly understood. Then he looked at Lu Chen in astonishment and said, "Does Kakashi-sensei have an older brother? I've never heard of him before."

"Ok?"

Kakashi was taken aback when he heard Naruto's words.

Then his expression changed slightly.

Logically speaking, even if he wasn't his disciple, he should have heard of Lu Chen. Could it be that something happened to Lu Chen, and he disappeared from the world twenty years later?!

...... ..... ...

"Stop asking about the future, Kakashi."

Lu Chen noticed Kakashi's gaze, interrupted Kakashi's train of thought, and calmly said, "Knowing too much will cause huge changes in the timeline."

There are only two possibilities for why Naruto from the future hasn't heard of him: one is that he disappeared for some reason before Naruto was born, which is why Naruto hasn't heard of him, but this possibility is not very high.

after all.

Even if he were to disappear from the ninja world from this moment on, it would be highly unlikely that Naruto would never have heard of him twenty years from now.

Another, more likely possibility is that the future Naruto lived in was a parallel universe formed by the distortion of the dragon vein's energy, where everything was developing according to the normal trajectory, and he did not exist.

Lu Chen guessed that this was most likely the case.

The reason is simple.

The 'illusory clock' that is combined with his consciousness is unique; there is no second or third. If time is described as a ruler, then it is a carving knife that exists outside the ruler, capable of leaving marks on the ruler but not existing inside it.

There is only one such carving knife.

This understanding that Lu Chen gained from his years of experience with the illusory clock is what he has come to know.

Naruto stood to the side observing Kakashi, his gaze growing increasingly strange. Finally, he couldn't help but speak up: "Kakashi-sensei is so young... Pfft... Hehehehe..." 6.

Chapter 249: Usually, they don't survive more than two episodes.

"Shut up, don't call me teacher, it'll make me stupid too."

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

After laughing for a while, Naruto came to his senses and said, "By the way, let's work together from now on. That Centipede ninja is very dangerous, and you guys might not be able to handle him right now."

Kakashi is probably only ten years old now. His older brother should be a bit older, around the same age, but I've never heard of him before, so he's probably not a Jonin from the village.

He should be at his strongest right now.

It's time for him to lead the team!

Taking Kakashi-sensei and his brother on missions—just thinking about it made Naruto's blood boil!

"..."

Hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi rolled his eyes again.

What do you mean he and Lu Chen might not be able to handle it? If Lu Chen can't handle it, then probably no one in the ninja world can!

Kakashi looked at Naruto and asked, "What level of ninja are you?"

"Ah... well..."
