How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

emmmmm...

“Chichi, your dragon vein chakra is powerful, so you have the final say.”

Shrugging, Ziyin carefully sensed the situation but couldn't find any clues. The little fox with the scar could only walk out onto the broken balcony.

The large crowd that had gathered in the square below the tower now showed no concern whatsoever for the person who had just fallen. They all returned to where they came from, and their retreat was orderly and disciplined, like an army.

No, it's more like a group of NPCs acting according to a set procedure!

"Speaking of which, since arriving in this timeline's Loulan Kingdom, aside from the tsundere girl who sings in the ruins—a staple of theatrical versions—I haven't encountered a single living person from Loulan Kingdom; they're all puppets..."

I couldn't see clearly the people gathered in the square, so I don't know if they were even human. But this Loulan Kingdom looks so prosperous, yet it has no vitality at all. I still feel that something is wrong.

"Hey! Auntie, did you find anything up there?!"

Below, Naruto Uzumaki spotted Miss Fox on the balcony, shouting with two handprints on her face.

Yes, as is standard in the theatrical version, Naruto Uzumaki will inevitably get slapped.

"I found something incredible up there!"

Miss Fox gave a thumbs-up and answered loudly, then made a picture frame with her hands, aimed it at Naruto Uzumaki, and leaped into the air—

Justice from heaven!

Then Naruto, who was on the ground, hurriedly dodged, and Miss Fox landed on her bottom, making a deep crater in the ground...

The air...suddenly fell silent...

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki turned into a statue, Madara Uchiha fell silent, and the Queen of Loulan was terrified. What on earth is going on...?

Miss Fox climbed out of the pit as if nothing had happened, looking spotless. After tidying her wind-blown, slightly messy hair, she looked as if she hadn't made the deep pit at her feet.

Then, with a sudden kick, he sent Naruto flying into the building, bursting into laughter: "Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! This guy actually stupidly jumped off a building thinking someone would catch him! How could anyone be so dumb! Hahahaha!!!"

"You clearly caused this yourself!!"

"What do you mean I smashed it? Do you have any proof? Which eye of yours saw me smash it? Besides, look at you, you're all disheveled, but look, there's not a speck of dust on you. How could I have smashed it?!"

As long as she's not embarrassed, it's Uncle Ban who's embarrassed! (Serious face)

---

Chapter 244 Dad, you look exactly like the Hokage!

"enough!"

More embarrassed than Madara, and more furious than Naruto, the red-haired girl from the limited-edition Naruto movie harem rudely interrupted the fox-girl's brilliant and engaging performance: "Who exactly are you people!?"

Because it was a harem limited edition for the theatrical release, Miss Fox didn't pay much attention to it and instead neglected her.

After Her Majesty the Queen was rescued by Naruto Uzumaki, the situation was roughly that Naruto fell into a big ditch and argued with her, trying to shift the blame onto her. After witnessing this inexplicable farce, Her Majesty the Queen must have become impatient.

"Mmm!" Miss Fox gave Her Majesty the Queen a thumbs-up and an approving look!

When Sarah, the current Queen of Loulan, saw this, her eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Damn, why are there such bizarre people in the world?!

The key point is that this weirdo is actually good-looking!

The Queen of Loulan looked at herself in her writing, and saw that there was nothing obstructing her view of her feet.

"I forgot to introduce myself. Hello, I am Naruto Uzumaki, a ninja from Konoha Village!"

Pushing aside Miss Fox, Naruto Uzumaki, with two red handprints on his cheeks, introduced himself: "By the way, according to this stinky auntie, I seem to be from the future Hidden Leaf Village!"

"Huh? The future? What are you talking about?"

"I'm not really sure about that either." Scratching his head, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't explain this himself, even though he had just heard Miss Fox's explanation: "By the way, did you see who pushed you down?"

"Push it down..."

Sarah's eyes darkened as she looked up at the tower from which she had fallen. She clearly knew who had pushed her, but didn't want to say, or perhaps she was unwilling to believe the truth.

This foxy lady knows what she's doing!

It's an extremely clichéd premise: the BOSS appears to be a kind and amiable good person before being exposed, but is actually a wicked villain who does all sorts of heinous things behind the scenes.

Therefore, Queen Loulan is still intoxicated by the image of a great person that the other party has created. Even if she confirms that the other party pushed her down, she will still think of an excuse for the other party in her heart and is unwilling to believe that the other party would be the kind of person who thinks that way.

"This tactic is so overused!"

So, in order to help Her Majesty the Queen of Loulan see the truth and abandon this unnecessary delusion, Miss Fox knew what she had to do! She carried the weight of a queen's growth on her shoulders!

"Don't hesitate, Your Majesty. I've smashed that guy up there. He was a puppet. And putting aside the fact that he was a puppet, Your Majesty, it seems you haven't really looked at your subjects properly in a long time, have you?"

Miss Fox found it hard to believe that the crowd she had just witnessed on the tower were subjects of the Loulan Kingdom. They showed no emotion at all when the Queen fell. Even if they hated the Queen, they would have cheered around the corpse. Instead, they left in an orderly manner as soon as the celebration ended, as if nothing had happened.

No matter how you look at it, that can't possibly be a normal phenomenon.

Her Majesty the Queen may have sensed this, but she still forcefully concealed her unease: "Nonsense! This town, which we inherited from Mother, has been well-governed with An Lushan's help! The people live in peace and prosperity. You just saw it, didn't you? They are cheering, they are enjoying the celebration!"

"Then why is it so quiet now?"

Miss Fox pouted. Unlike Naruto, who was considerate of others' feelings, she was more like Madara, who spoke out without any regard for others' emotions, saying things that were quite provocative: "Her Majesty the Queen accidentally fell! The 'people' didn't see anything! After finishing their 'job' of cheering and making up the numbers, they can go home. Why bother with such unnecessary trouble!" Spreading her hands, Miss Fox was incredibly irritating: "So, you think all the people of Loulan are like this?"

"..."

A moment of silence fell over the Queen, who lowered her head and remained silent.

Miss Fox shrugged helplessly. She probably knew that Her Majesty the Queen was unwilling to face the truth. After all, she had never seen the real events, and even if they had saved her from "falling" from the tower, they were still just a group of strangers who suddenly appeared and spoke ill of the capable minister who had accompanied her for almost half of her childhood.

Just then, three figures suddenly appeared beside the three people who were in a tense atmosphere.

Minato Namikaze appeared with his two companions, carrying a puppet dressed as a commoner: "The situation in Loulan is more serious than we imagined. Just now, all the civilians of Loulan City have been replaced with puppets..."

Minato Namikaze paused, suddenly sensing something was off, and looked blankly at Naruto Uzumaki: "Ah, what... what happened?"

Miss Fox glanced at Her Majesty the Queen and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Her Majesty the Queen is unwilling to face the facts."

Miss Fox has long forgotten how Sara came to realize the truth in the movie.

However, it is clear that these mass-produced tsundere harem movies all share a common characteristic: they are stubborn and refuse to admit defeat until they hit a wall. They are extremely blind to reality until they recognize the true face of the movie's BOSS, and they are even unwilling to believe that it is true unless they confirm it with their own eyes and see the evidence.

Throughout the entire Naruto series, the brainwashing abilities of these movie bosses are second only to Orochimaru.

"No! This isn't true! An Lushan wouldn't do such a thing!"

As expected, after a long silence, Her Majesty the Queen finally refused to believe the truth, pushed Naruto Uzumaki aside, and ran out!

"Hey! It's dangerous to run around like this!"

"Naruto Uzumaki, right?"

With a swift snap, Minato Namikaze grabbed Naruto Uzumaki's hand and removed the animal mask from his face: "Although it's a bit strange that I suddenly have a son who's only a few years old before I'm even married, could you wait a moment? We'll handle this. Please stop interfering with what's happening 'now'!"

He gave his two companions a meaningful look, and they immediately followed the Loulan Queen's departing steps.

"What do you mean?"

Naruto was puzzled, but when he turned around and saw Minato Namikaze's face, he froze, staring at Minato's face in a daze.

Miss Fox watched with great interest, took a bite of the peach, nudged Uncle Spotted next to her with her elbow, and handed him a peach.

Grandpa Ban glanced at Miss Fox, his expression unreadable, but he still accepted the peach.

"Naruto, what's wrong with you?"

"Your face..."

"My face?" Minato Namikaze was somewhat confused. Seeing that his future son seemed to recognize him, he suddenly thought of a terrifying future—

"Does this mean I'll grow a full beard in the future?!"

"You look exactly like the Fourth Hokage on the Hokage Rock!!"

Chapter 245 The Fox: Come on, let's talk about Uncle Ban's dark history!

"Whether you return here from the distant past or the future, you should not interfere too much with this world, as this will seriously affect the world's operation and cause immeasurable things to happen."

Minato Namikaze solemnly stated his reasons, pleading with Madara Uchiha and Miss Fox, "Lord Shura of Konoha, I humbly request that you seal the memories of this time period so as not to affect the future!"

"..."

Miss Fox took a bite of the peach and remained silent for the time being.

Our Uchiha Madara, the great Madara, was looking at Namikaze Minato with great interest, his black eyes staring at Minato without any emotion.

Minato Namikaze's eyes are very clear.

"To be a ninja is to be a tool. To protect, to fight, to kill, to betray one's comrades in order to complete a mission, or to kill one's former comrades with one's own hands... These things happen all the time."

Instead of directly answering Minato Namikaze's request, Madara Uchiha suddenly adopted the demeanor of a senior.

This made Miss Fox feel completely out of place. Madara Uchiha is in his early twenties, and Minato Namikaze is also in his early twenties. Seeing them acting like seniors while looking so young gave Miss Fox goosebumps all over.

She had no idea when Grandpa Ban had become so philosophical!

"Why do you think the future is predetermined?" Miss Fox couldn't help but interject.

Madara Uchiha used his glare on Miss Fox, causing her to shiver and become unable to move. Madara then used his eye blade, resulting in Miss Fox's face losing HP to 0, but nothing else happened.

Madara Uchiha withdrew his gaze and then asked, "What reason do you have for wanting the future to unfold according to a predetermined destiny?"

Minato Namikaze glanced at Naruto Uzumaki instinctively; it was clear that the man was very satisfied with his son.

"Even if you and Kushina die?" Miss Fox asked.

"Even so, I believe that Kushina and I were doing this to protect Naruto."

Minato Namikaze answered firmly: "If the future changes, Naruto will not be the Naruto he is now. I cannot kill a child of the future!"

Naruto opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"puff!"

Miss Fox couldn't help but shrug, but she quickly composed herself and forced a straight face back.

But everyone present was a ninja, possessing the wondrous power of chakra. How could they not notice this obvious anomaly?

Besides, this embarrassing little elf had a big smile on his face, his eyes were squinted, and it made you want to laugh along with him.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"I said, is there a problem?"

"The problem is huge." Miss Fox shrugged, showing considerable disdain for Minato Namikaze's understanding of the art. However, since she was after all craving his complete Flying Thunder God technique, she managed to restrain herself and, using her rusty little brain, said tactfully, "Leaving aside why you think the future is unchanging, if you told your wife this, do you believe Kushina would think you'd get a headbutt and kill you?"

"Uh!"

There are already images.

Minato Namikaze had already subconsciously imagined an enraged Kushina with nine braids flowing behind her, calling his name in a gloomy tone, and unleashing a headbutt attack.

"Sigh..." Miss Fox sighed, forced to return to work for the second time:

"First of all, if history is a closed loop, then whether you erase your memories or not will not affect the future, unless you learn the Type-Moon system and become a Lostbelt. I won't explain what Type-Moon and Lostbelt are here; those who know, know; those who don't, you won't understand even if I explain."

"In short, you only need to understand one thing: in the past, well, this old man Madara next to me has already been influenced by me and will inevitably go down a different path. But now you and Naruto Uzumaki are both on the original timeline and have not been changed. So this history is either a closed loop that cannot be affected, or we are not from different timelines, but from different parallel worlds. There is no possibility that deviating from the future will kill this 'future' Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Emmmm..." Naruto crossed his arms. "I didn't understand."

As expected of you!

They secretly gave Naruto a thumbs up, and then everyone stopped paying attention to him.

Miss Fox has made things very clear. Simply put, if it's a closed loop, then no matter what, the event cannot happen. If it's a parallel world, then no matter what the impact, it will have no effect on the future Naruto Uzumaki. If Naruto still can't understand this, then there's nothing we can do.

"Whether it's a closed loop or a parallel world, no matter what impact the three of us have on the current world, nothing will happen, so don't worry."

The movie's settings are so arbitrary, how could they possibly affect the main storyline? "I'm more inclined towards parallel universes; after all, that's what makes me think influencing Madara next door is meaningful..."

He glanced sideways at the old man with the freckles beside him, even though he was forced to work there.

"Hmph." The strange creature snorted.

"So, this Naruto Uzumaki is less your future son and more your son from another parallel world. Instead of worrying about it here, ask him what happened in the future, prepare in advance, and give your child with Kushina in this timeline a better world."

Miss Fox has long forgotten the specifics of the movie, but since Minato Namikaze could come up with such logic, it's not hard to guess how the movie would end.

The memories are sealed, and then things remain as they were in the original story—a meaningless time travel...

"Oh, right, I forgot to ask me what will happen to me in the future, instead of asking this bottom-ranked Konoha ninja."

"You stinky auntie! What do you mean by this!?"
