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

Silver Hair is the best: How much gold is exactly tens of tons? And it seems the discounted price has actually gone up?

Seventeen-year-old girl: Tsk, newbie, let's make a deal. After this mission, you have to sleep with this filler newbie, and I'll do everything I can to keep you alive!

Everyone here is my wife: ...Not free?

White Mountain Gages clutched his heart, struggling in disbelief. What if he was seeing things?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Free?

Newbie here to fill in: Do you want this peach from Gensokyo? Let me tell you, it's super sweet!

White Mountain Gages!

Pawn!

Chapter 286 Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger!

"Naruto, what's wrong with you?"

On the way back from the Land of Wind, Sakura Haruno noticed that her companion seemed a little absent-minded and asked her something strange.

Ever since the incident occurred while tracking the Sand Village rogue ninja Centipede into the Loulan ruins, Naruto had been somewhat absent-minded, frowning and lost in thought.

"...Hmm? Sakura, are you concerned?"

Just like now, there was a response after several seconds, showing no signs of being a ninja and being completely relaxed and unguarded.

Sakura Haruno, as his companion, couldn't help but worry:

"What happened?"

"Something happened?"

Naruto was taken aback and didn't understand Sakura Haruno's meaning, but he still thought about it briefly and activated Sage Mode to sense his surroundings in an instant.

"No, there's no problem."

Even Captain Yamato in front didn't notice that Naruto had naturally exited Sage Mode.

"...is that so."

Sakura Haruno stared at Naruto for a long time but couldn't read anything from his face, so she could only sigh and remind Naruto not to get distracted.

"We're still outside, so don't let your guard down until we get back to the village, Naruto."

"I know, I know, I understand these things, don't worry, Sakura!"

Naruto responded with a smile from Sakura Haruno.

During the operation, Naruto was indeed somewhat distracted, but he never let his guard down and repeatedly conducted thorough reconnaissance to see if anyone was hiding underground.

Following Kurama's advice, Naruto didn't reveal everything about his encounter in the Loulan ruins. His companions, including Captain Yamato who nearly starved to death after getting lost in Loulan, only knew that Naruto had dealt with the centipede, but they didn't know anything more amazing... such as the Leaf Village's Shura and that fox aunt from another timeline!

"...I feel like something's not right."

But Naruto frowned, racking his brains, but he just couldn't figure out what was wrong!

All the "plot" Aunt Fox told him matched up perfectly, and his future fate also aligned with Kurama's. The fact that the Tailed Beasts, despite their ferocity, were actually just a bunch of idiots who didn't know how to get along with others was even more true. Before this, Naruto had never thought that the Tailed Beasts were actually quite cute, even after he learned that Kurama was inside him.

So the problem is, something just doesn't feel right!

"Something seems off, Naruto?"

He looked up and saw Tsunade staring at him with a deathly gaze.

"Ah, we're already back in Konoha. Grandma Tsunade, is there any mission you need? I promise I'll complete it. I'm super strong now!"

Naruto proudly patted his chest and said.

Thinking about Aunt Fox, I unknowingly returned to Konoha. I was so used to the atmosphere here that I had completely let my guard down without even realizing it.

"..."

Naruto's Tsunade couldn't help but tense up, but when she met Naruto's gaze (which seemed like a child showing off to an elder), she couldn't hold back any longer, and her expression softened slightly, though her tone remained firm:

"Naruto, vigilance is an absolutely essential quality for a ninja, even in Konoha..."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's talk about lecturing another time, Grandma Tsunade. I can't wait to see what S-rank and Super S-rank missions are available now!"

Naruto waved his hand dismissively.

Sakura Haruno, standing to the side, couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead, unable to bear to look. In three years, Naruto had matured a lot and grown a lot taller, but in reality, he hadn't changed at all; he was still the same as before!

"Alright, alright, Granny Tsunade, stop nagging. It's no use to Naruto, is it?" With a creak, the door to the Hokage's office opened, and a boy who looked about the same age as Naruto and the others, but was already a Jonin, walked in and affectionately hooked his arm around Naruto's neck.

How did the Loulan mission go?

Upon seeing this person's attitude, Tsunade, in her Hokage position, couldn't help but roar in anger:

"Shuji Senju!! How many times have I told you! Knock on the door before you come in!!"

"Also, hunting down the Sand Village rogue ninja Centipede is a mission! A mission! Not a vacation! Not a trip for Naruto to play!!"

The power of the Lion's Roar was so great that everyone in the room felt as if their ears were deafened.

However, Senju Shuji didn't seem to care. He elegantly raised his little finger and picked at his ear, giving it a perfunctory answer.

"Hey hey hey, I got it, I got it. This is a mission, not a game!"

However, deep down, Senju Shuji didn't take Naruto's mission seriously at all.

The Loulan Ruins are just an original Naruto movie by Toei Animation, a mission that has absolutely no connection to the main storyline. For the Shippuden era, which is about to enter a period of rapid plot development, it's just like a trip, one of the few moments of calm before the storm.

Nothing to be concerned about.

He had also seen the Lost Tower. It was basically a way to capitalize on the popularity of the Eternal Sister, and also to let Naruto see his living father. In the end, to reconnect with the main storyline, they sealed his memories, so it was like he traveled through time but did nothing.

Well, people who travel through time don't even realize they've traveled through time.

Shuji Senju smiled.

However, the surge in fighting power in the later stages of Shippuden still made Shuji Senju a little nervous. Although he was born into the Senju clan and had some advantages, he was not a protagonist like Naruto. In the long run, he could definitely compare to him in terms of the speed of power growth, but in the short term, he couldn't even come close.

He currently possesses the strength of a top-tier actor, but it's uncertain whether he's even qualified to step onto the final stage...

"Ah! I know what's wrong!!"

Suddenly, Naruto Uzumaki roared in Senju Shuji's ear, almost scaring him into deafness!

"Naruto! Don't jump to conclusions!"

Sakura Haruno, equally startled, grabbed Naruto's ear and twisted it, causing a pig-like scream to erupt from the Hokage's office!

"hiss..."

Shuji Senju rubbed his ears; he was genuinely startled by Naruto's loud shout at such close range, when he was caught off guard.

The ninja profession, with its chakra training system, certainly provides destructive power, but it also means a more robust physique. It's not like someone like him, a Kage-level ninja who is still human, can withstand all kinds of physical attacks without being able to break through defenses.

On the contrary, even if you are a Kage-level ninja, as long as you are still human, your body is no different from that of a Genin. If you go in with a kunai, you will come out with blood.

"So, Naruto, why are you yelling so loudly?"

"Brother Shuji! Something's not right, Brother Shuji! There's an extra Brother Shuji here!"

Naruto pointed at Shuji Senju and said.

"what?"

Shuji Senju was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on!

What do you mean by "another Shuji is here"? Although he is indeed a transmigrator and a character who did not originally exist in Naruto, this doesn't sound like something Naruto would say.

Suddenly remembering something, Senju Shuji's expression changed!

With a complicated expression, he said, "Naruto, you... Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?"

"Pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

Naruto instantly recalled one of the random things his fox aunt had told him, and blurted it out without thinking!

Chapter 187 Regarding Miss Fox's teammates always being arrested

He bought weapons in the East Market, food in the West Market, luggage in the South Market, and firearms in the North Market.

Well, that's what they say, but it's not actually that exaggerated.

Because there's no room for backing out of a mission you've already signed up for, he impulsively signed up for this mission. In the past, as an ordinary person, he could only be a marginal player, but he at least needed to have some ability to protect himself!

Therefore, White Mountain Gages had to make ample preparations before setting off. He used all his resources to urgently exchange some gold for the electronic watch from a paid newbie in the group, and acquired some firearms and contraband through some channels that capitalist countries couldn't openly discuss but everyone knew about. He also bought a large amount of compressed food to prepare for a long-term stay there. He downloaded all the cultivation system information from the group files, intending to try them out slowly there. He was all set and ready to go!

"Damn it, I absolutely have to find a way to bring this lousy group admin down!"

White Mountain Gages gritted his teeth as he looked at the colorless vortex that appeared in front of him!

Don't mess with your friend's wife! Even if he hasn't won her over yet, he's almost reached his goal in terms of affection. How can you possibly interfere?

This is intolerable!

After checking the purchased firearms one last time and finding no problems, White Mountain Gages took a deep breath and stepped into the colorless vortex...

Icy cold, shivering...

Newbie (just there to fill a spot): You're awake! You're the best-behaved newbie here.

The sudden shift in light between indoors and outdoors caused discomfort, and a chat box popped up in Shirakawa Gages's eyes, with the group owner's comments making jokes.

White Mountain Gages frowned, raised his hand to block out the light, and looked around. All he could see were bushes and trees, and three strikingly similar wooden stakes standing not far away. There was no one else in sight.

Newbie (just there to fill a spot): Stop looking, I'm right behind you.

White Mountain Gages was startled and quickly turned around, only to find no one behind him!

There was no trace of anyone in the sky, on the ground, in the grass, or in the woods; under the sun, only his shadow remained! But he could feel a pair of naked eyes staring intently at him!

Newbie commenter: Tsk tsk tsk, not bad looking, right? Well-proportioned features, no acne, looks like she's taken care of herself. Although she doesn't do any special skincare, she's clean enough.

"Huh?!"

White Mountain Gages suddenly felt a slap on the stomach!

Newbie commenter: Wow, he even has abs!

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: But six abs isn't enough, they can't compare to my eight-pack at all!

Newbie (just filling in the numbers): Newbie, your reaction is a bit over the top. Don't worry, you're not my type, and I'm not interested in your anus either.

White Mountain Gages looked around again, but still couldn't find a single group leader who was also participating in the group mission.

He frowned and said:

"Since you've come all this way, why don't you show yourself instead of typing in the group chat? What, are you a grown man and you're ashamed?"

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ...

Paid newbie: Of course the group owner, Velvet Ball, is embarrassed!

Even though Mingshan Gages didn't speak in the group, the newbie who paid was surprisingly explaining things to him.

Paid newbie: This plush ball has its eye on you, waiting in stealth for the moment you let your guard down to deliver a swift, deadly thrust to your stomach!

Paid newbie: You might not believe it

Paid newbie: The last victim was the former group owner, Qingshan the Great Demon King.

Everyone here is my wife: [Subway, elderly people, cell phones]

White Mountain Gages didn't believe a word of that!

This lousy group admin is already eyeing his fiancée, and you two are eyeing his ass? Are you kidding him? Besides, he hasn't even said anything in the group yet; it's obviously just casual banter. Now, White Mountain Gages is convinced: you can't trust a word those two newbies say in the group!

Shady businessman, pervert, NTR! They can throw every bad word at these two newbies!

"Tauren, you bastard!"

He called out, but no one responded.

Bai Shan Gages ignored the situation in the group chat and circled around the three wooden stakes, carefully observing the environment.

"Where is this place?"

"This is the seventh training ground."

"No, I mean, what kind of place is this?"

"Konoha Village, Seventh Training Ground"
