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

From beginning to end, the sealing principle, which requires the Jinchuriki to possess a massive amount of chakra to suppress the seal, is one of the few settings that wasn't compromised. In addition, the Nine-Tails is constantly trying to break the seal, affecting Naruto's control over his chakra. Coupled with the fact that he was bullied from a young age and even had to drink expired milk as a second-class citizen, resulting in malnutrition, with these layers of debuffs stacked up, it's nothing short of a miracle that Naruto could keep up with the Ninja Academy's learning pace and still possess decent taijutsu skills!

The fact that Naruto learned Shadow Clone Jutsu in just a few hours by watching others practice sealing techniques, that he cleverly learned Rasengan after Jiraiya had practiced for a long time, that he immediately learned Water Walking after Jiraiya removed the Five Elements Seal that Orochimaru had added to him during the Chunin Exams, which affected his chakra control, and that he met Kushina while still in a seal, and that he learned a sealing technique in a short time, are enough to prove that Naruto is indeed a genius!

"Just go and make friends with the nine-tailed fox inside your belly, and that will be fine."

"Hey?"

"Didn't you understand?" Miss Fox tilted her head, acting cute.

Although she knew that Naruto Uzumaki was a bit slow-witted, dull, and oblivious, she didn't expect him to be unable to understand something so simple.

"Then I'll say it again: go and befriend the nine-tailed fox inside your belly, and tell it not to bother you..."

Her ears twitched, and Miss Fox frowned. "You're really fast. Fighting Konoha Shura, you still have the mind to do other things? You weren't being overwhelmed by that guy and didn't even have the ability to fight back, were you?"

With a swift, sweeping kick, the puppet's head was smashed open with a crack, and the spider-like puppet, like a toy broken by a mischievous child, fell to the ground.

But Miss Fox could clearly sense that the puppet still had a large amount of chakra flowing through it, and it had not been killed!

"You think you can conquer the world with this?"

Chapter 253 Severing the Divine Cult in Two with One Cut!

The spider-like puppet with a human face landed, shook its head, and used its dragon vein chakra to repair the damaged parts.

"He does have some skill."

The centipede, annoyed by the mockery, stretched out a front paw to adjust its neck, which was slightly stuck. Its face, resembling a scale, looked at Miss Fox: "As expected of the woman of the Leaf Village's Shura, even after witnessing the Dragon Vein, you still have such a silver tongue."

Miss Fox typed a question mark.

Good heavens, good heavens! I'm exclaiming, good heavens! I was just following along with Uchiha Madara, and suddenly I got this title?

If she were to act a little more intimate with Eternal Sister, wouldn't she be able to turn that guy in Konoha, who has the nickname "Pepper," into a green pepper?

At that moment, Minato Namikaze suddenly sensed something and looked at the fox spirit. Although he didn't know why, he felt that this spirit was thinking of persecuting him. Out of some unknown survival instinct, he said, "Fox spirit, this puppet should be the core of the centipede's consciousness."

"So, you are the original form of the centipede, right?"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his sword, his eyes fixed on the other side, showing an attitude of abandoning his vice and directly resolving the matter.

However, if that happens, Naruto's reason for coming here will be eliminated, and he will return to his original timeline, thus missing his father's hands-on ninjutsu teaching class.

"You guys continue teaching Flying Thunder God. I'll handle this guy. I need to practice some things anyway."

Miss Fox stopped Naruto and stood in front of Centipede.

With Minato Namikaze's cooperation, and having fully experienced the feeling of ignoring space-time ninjutsu several times, Miss Fox is still a little behind, but it's not like she's gained nothing at all.

That vague sense of distance was still there, but it was much weaker than before. Moreover, as her control over her spiritual power gradually returned to the point where she could control it as easily as her own limbs, that sense of distance was now, just as Minato Namikaze believed, only lacking a trigger, and Miss Fox was able to take off from the spot.

Now, Miss Fox wants to try and see if taking on a movie boss one-on-one can give her the opportunity!

"After all, he's a movie boss, isn't he..."

"Hmph, have you made a decision yet?"

Centipede didn't pay any attention to the conversation between the three, and didn't even bother to interrupt.

Anyway, possessing the Dragon Vein Chakra, it's a female iron chicken!

"Let me see how Konoha Shura reacts if I capture you!"

The centipede's legs moved swiftly, crisscrossing, crawling forward like a spider. As it approached Miss Fox, it suddenly raised two forward-pushing claws, revealing sharp hooks!

Miss Fox's expression remained unchanged. She didn't use any skills or draw her Zanpakuto, Morikoku. She simply raised the shield on her forearm and blocked the claws of the centipede attacking her without moving. Not a single mark was left on the shield!

so hard!

Centipede was startled, not expecting that this seemingly small wooden shield would be so hard that even its specially crafted blade could not leave a mark on it.

This shield is such a waste to give to this person; we must take it and add another layer of protection to its core!

Having made up its mind, the centipede immediately put it into action. Its claws gripped the shield, its forelimbs exposed the central wooden stick, and its remaining shell quickly wrapped around the shield to secure it. Its two remaining spider legs supported its body as it stood upright, while its other two legs bared their fangs and were about to climb onto Miss Fox's arm, attempting to cut off the entire arm and shield in one go!

At that moment, Miss Fox suddenly moved.

“Crack!”

With a sudden tug, ignoring the two spiders that were holding her shield, her seemingly soft and boneless arm burst forth with incredible strength, easily ripping off the forelimb of the puppet, the main carrier of consciousness, which was made with the best materials and the best craftsmanship!

With a straight kick from its fleshy, long legs, the puppet pierced through the protective layer formed by the dragon vein chakra. Its chest caved in, and its two spider legs, which were supporting its upright posture, could not grip the ground. It had no choice but to slide backward for quite a distance before finally coming to a stop!

Miss Fox stood still, completely oblivious to the danger. In the close combat, the difference in skill was like an abyss!

"What kind of superhuman strength is this!?"

Centipede was somewhat surprised. Out of respect for Konoha Shura, it hadn't held back at all when facing the fox lady, unleashing the full power this puppet could muster, supported by the Dragon Vein's infinite chakra. But in that brief exchange, the monstrous strength that easily severed its forelimbs and pierced the Dragon Vein's chakra protective layer... "This is probably no more than Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin!"

"The true form of the movie's boss?"

That's it! ...

Miss Fox frowned slightly; this was far weaker than she had imagined!

In my memory, in theatrical releases, because of the original storyline, the writers' freedom to improvise often results in inflated and distorted power levels, especially with Toei's productions; the suit battles are a prime example. Therefore, in Miss Fox's mind, Centipede was perfectly acceptable as an opponent to seize that opportunity; she was even prepared for a fierce battle before calling on Madara to settle scores, just like when she called on Aizen to settle scores with Aizen when confronting Aizen.

"Is this the result?"

Very disappointed. Perhaps it's because the early Naruto movies were more conservative, but Ms. Fox was extremely disappointed with the Centipede's fighting ability.

Even if this kind of BOSS is a useless thing that relies on external objects, let's not even talk about the dragon vein as an external object, and the infinite chakra is still something that can be measured in half a planet, right? So how come the combat power of the main body is so weak?

"Damn it! Don't think I can't do anything to you just because of this!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Fox was no longer sleepy. She stopped on her feet, which were about to be raised, and stood up straight while waiting for the progress bar to finish.

Centipede, sensing Miss Fox's underestimation, immediately flew into a rage: "—You rascal! Don't underestimate me!!"

The dragon vein is boiling!

Centipede drove the dragon vein chakra to gather around itself, like a spider weaving a web. The chakra transformed into needles and threads, extending out from the gaps, and the earth began to tremble!

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a violent explosion came from above, and the purple lines formed by the dragon vein chakra broke apart. The centipede froze in place for a moment!

It can't feel it anymore!

Above the dragon vein, beneath Loulan, the starting point of its world conquest, its puppet army manufacturing plant has gone missing!

The chakra threads that extended throughout the entire city of Loulan, and the puppets that were still usable, were almost all destroyed in that instant, leaving only a handful!

Centipede immediately thought of one person—the only one capable of destroying its puppet factory right under its nose!

"Konoha Shura!!"

"So, after possessing the dragon vein for six years, all you ever thought about was relying on the puppet, and never about becoming stronger yourself?"

Miss Fox's face suddenly filled Centipede's entire field of vision.

Now that it's been confirmed that the movie's boss is utterly pathetic, there's no need for Miss Fox to drag things out any longer!

With a raised hand and a slight grasp, the mortal bone hilt materialized, and the blade slowly emerged as Miss Fox drew it, the long sword moving like a shadow behind her—

"What a pity! If you were a little stronger, I wouldn't have only gained this much!"

A powerful, sweeping horizontal slash with an exaggerated and flashy motion!

A white light was embedded in the centipede's waist, its upper and lower halves tilted. Strangely, the cut did not show any signs of being severed. This strike did not sever the puppet's body, but rather space itself! The white light pierced two halves of space!

Cut it off!

A level 35 skill in the Earth Goddess skill tree, a skill that Miss Fox shouldn't have learned at this time!

"Well, it only seems that way, I'll have to wait until I reach level 35 to know for sure..."

Sheathed the sword, and the centipede split in two, each half dropping a bowl-shaped object densely covered with strange characters.

Although the two halves were laid out flat, the chakra flowing inside did not resemble the appearance of two halves being laid out at all. When it flowed through the gap, it did not overflow, but went to the other half out of thin air, just as if they had not been cut off.

Chapter 254 Unexpected Title

I can't get in, no matter how I tap, I can't get in.

The two pieces of material that Miss Fox had personally cut off were like hard alloys when her fingers were poked at them; they just wouldn't go in.

It seems that the two halves of the object are not actually separated; they remain as a whole, but they have indeed been divided into two halves.

"How did you do that? That's amazing!"

Naruto was having a blast, banging one in each hand like a musical instrument. If Centipede could talk now, he'd probably start cursing.

Unfortunately, this strike not only severed the core of the centipede's consciousness, but also severed its connection with the dragon vein. Now, the centipede has no means of communicating with the outside world. It's like the author has been put in a dark room, only able to see others subtly criticizing her in the group chat, while she has to finish writing before she can respond.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became; even the centipede's core was trembling with rage.

"Congratulations, Miss Fox, you've learned an amazing skill."

Minato Namikaze observed for a while, and even though he currently had a deeper understanding of space-time ninjutsu than Miss Fox, he knew he couldn't do something with such a unique centipede core.

Only those with space-time ninjutsu know how incredibly difficult and terrifying it is to sever an object along with the space it occupies without fundamentally damaging it. Cutting it without affecting the volume the space needs to contain it may seem like a simple cut, but it's actually like cutting a pattern along a dotted line—first, the object is removed from this space-time, then it's cut in half. This is how the connection between the dragon vein and the centipede was severed.

However, Minato Namikaze could also see that Miss Fox was not skilled enough, and she still hadn't broken through the last layer.

"Centipede probably won't live much longer, so Naruto needs to speed up his Flying Thunder God technique."

"really."

Miss Fox nodded.

She swung the knife based on instinct, and it was quite impressive that she could do it to that extent. However, it was only a fleeting feeling, and even if she were asked to use it again immediately, she wouldn't know why she could do it this way.

In Miss Fox's imagination, this strike should sever the space between the upper and lower halves of Centipede's body, and then, due to the correction, directly inflict true damage on Centipede, just like a certain knight who carries two wives and whose ultimate move requires a triple coin to use.

Scanning Charge!

He shook his head, trying to clear the voice that had suddenly popped into his head: "Naruto, come here, I have something to tell you."

"what? What?"

Naruto Uzumaki jogged over, carrying the centipede pieces in his left and right hands, and casually tossed the two pieces of centipede at his feet.

Miss Fox could see the centipede's expression within those two objects—an expression that screamed rage to burst forth and tear everyone to shreds, yet was powerless against reality. Everyone wanted to leap over like a toad and stage a memorable scene next to the centipede!

From a purely rational perspective, such temptation and impulse are indeed something that most people cannot resist!

Licking her lips and suppressing her inner impulse, Miss Fox was trying her best to be serious today:

"Let me give you a heads-up first. The Nine-Tails, whose real name is Kurama, is the largest part of the Divine Tree after the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, divided it into nine parts..."

Spoilers are something Miss Fox has done countless times, and so far, every spoiler has thrilled her (except for exceptional cases where the audience didn't react). So this time, Miss Fox is quite adept at spoiling. Even though she can't go into detail due to time constraints, regarding the Nine-Tails... whatever its ugly deeds, dark history, or tsundere personality, she'll dump it all on the Namikaze father and son. From the Nine-Tails' early resentful, temperamental yet somewhat dignified demeanor, to its later redeemed, tsundere, and adorable appearance, she'll focus on the key points, emphasizing its being controlled by Madara Uchiha and then by Obito Uchiha using the Sharingan!

She knew that the Nine-Tails was inside the seal, listening and watching through Naruto, helplessly watching her reveal its dark history bit by bit, but it seemed powerless against that solid seal!

Unfortunately, she had no chakra, so Minato Namikaze couldn't take her into the sealed space to enjoy the arrogant, orange-red fox's exasperated reaction...

"correct!"

Miss Fox suddenly remembered something and could no longer suppress her laughter. She said with a smile, "There's one more thing I'd like to tell you, just for your reference!"

"refer to?"

"Yes, that's right, it's just for reference."

Miss Fox held up a finger, feigning profundity: "In a distant parallel universe, there was a Naruto. Due to some accidents, he became friends with Kurama since childhood. They were inseparable best friends. Then one day, Naruto invented cola and potato chips. His friend Kurama became completely obsessed with that delicious treat and asked Naruto for it every day, never missing a meal. Guess what happened in the end?"

"What's wrong?" Naruto Uzumaki asked hurriedly, "Hey, Auntie, hurry up, Auntie, stop dawdling!"

"In the end, Kurama turned into an orange pig! He got so fat that he became a pig! Every day, he just stayed in the seal, eating, drinking, and having fun without exercising. He kept saying things that didn't make any sense, which made Naruto break his back from worrying about Kurama's life-long happiness!"

Miss Fox noticed that Naruto was constantly emanating wisps of crimson chakra, and her smile deepened.

However, she also knew that this was about enough. Otherwise, if she provoked Kurama too much, she might not be able to communicate with him for a while, and that would be a sin on her part. But she guessed that Kurama was probably already hating Minato Namikaze for sealing him away.

"What's wrong, Miss Fox?"

Noticing her gaze, Minato Namikaze's smile became somewhat forced, as if he knew what he was about to experience.

"No problem, I believe in you, buddy."

He patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder. Minato was just taking the opportunity, acting as Kurama's punching bag, to vent all the resentment he had been holding in for over a decade, which was provoked by the fox lady. "It's worth it for your son, right?" he said. "Because I don't have any chakra, good luck!"

"Miss Fox, you really are..."
