In Konoha, Naruto lies down

With a clatter, the plate was pushed in front of Nao Nohara.

She lay listlessly on the table, stared at the breakfast on the table, sighed softly and said.

"You're doing this so early in the morning, why don't you let me sleep a little longer?"

"Let's eat breakfast first. Um... are you going to work today?" Naruto suddenly remembered that today was probably a weekday and looked up at the clock.

It's not time to go to work yet. If she hurrys up to finish breakfast and go out, she will still have time left when she arrives at Konoha Hospital.

"I'm about to travel to the future, so why should I go to work?" Nao Nohara was quite open-minded. She propped up her battered body and sat up, picking at the breakfast on the plate.

"We haven't finished talking about the topic from yesterday. What will the future be like?" she asked.

"You'll know when you go and see for yourself then," Naruto also sat down, casually stuffed the fried egg into his mouth, and said after swallowing it completely.

"At least there's no war, but it's not necessarily completely safe. There are always people who want to destroy the world."

"Ah?" Nao Nohara became more and more confused as she listened. There is no war, but some people want to destroy the world. What does this make sense? What will the future be like?

Dangerous? Or not?

"I'm quite willing to go, and I'm not that opposed to the future." She thought for a moment and said, "As long as I don't become an aunt, I can accept it."

"Actually, I want to know one more thing."

"whats the matter?"

"Who are those girls around you in the future?" Nohara Nao said, amused by herself. "I'm not jealous, I just want to know whose daughter you've harmed."

"Ah this?" Naruto felt even more ashamed and tentatively said a name.

"Yamada Inoichi?" She was dumbfounded. "His daughter? Ah...his daughter. It's hard to imagine what Yamanaka Inoichi's future daughter will look like."

"The Hyuga clan...ah..."

"Haruno... Oh, I haven't heard of that."

"Anything else?" Nao Nohara had a complicated expression. Looking at Naruto's innocent face, she didn't know whether to be jealous or not. This was really weird.

I knew this guy was a scoundrel, but I didn't expect he cast such a wide net.

"That's all." Naruto naturally wouldn't say anything else. It wasn't that there was no need to say the rest, but the fewer people who knew, the better.

It's best if they don't know each other. They're too far away to run into each other anyway. I'm not trying to be Wei Xiaobao and build a shabby island to lure all the women I'm related to there.

Only those women can live in harmony if their brains are muddled. It's a different era now, and they are still dreaming of such unrealistic dreams. Three women make a drama, and seven or eight of them are like Zhen Huan in the Ninja World.

It's really boring if it comes to that. If we just don't see each other, a lot of troubles will be solved. But just because we want to play three or five blacks, we have to press them together.

They say that a forced melon is not sweet, let alone pure love among multiple people. In principle, it is enough for everyone to be well with each other. They are not likely to give up everything for Naruto and become a soulless gun mount.

Fenghua Xiaoxue stayed in her Snow Country; that was the real Fenghua Xiaoxue. Ino was always proud; that was the real Ino. If one day Ino gave up her principles for him and accepted so many sisters, that would be a tragedy.

Just like he pretended not to know Hinata, Ino also pretended not to know that Naruto and Hinata were also connected. In any case, they would not meet easily. Even if Ino and Hinata, he didn't know what to do, but he couldn't let them find out that there was someone else besides them.

After another day of rest, Naruto took Nao Nohara out of Konoha.

The two rushed all the way from the forest of Fire Country to the desert of Wind Country. Before approaching Loulan, Nohara Nao suddenly grabbed Naruto in the midst of the wind and sand.

"what happened?"

"Will all the people I know become history?" Nohara Nao looked a little sad and continued, "They will all die in the war?"

"Probably." Naruto didn't lie to her and told her the truth, "Family, friends, and family, everything you have during this period of time will be buried in the long river of time, as if you didn't exist."

"It's not too late for you to regret now, so do you still want to continue?"

Nao Nohara stopped talking and stood there in silence for a while.

"Ah."

After receiving a positive answer, Naruto didn't waste any more words. He continued to rush towards Loulan with Nohara Nao. No matter how hard they tried, they were still a step too late.

Loulan had been reduced to ashes under the iron hoof of war, and the once glorious towers had all fallen and collapsed. Even Naruto was stunned in place, unable to recover for a long time.

After two months, a small country was destroyed?

"This place... seems like it has just been through a war?" Nao Nohara was also scared. The scene of people trampling under the iron hoofs of war really made her scalp tingle.

Buildings were destroyed, and abandoned bodies were scattered along the roadsides. The air was filled with a foul stench, and the wind and sand swept through tirelessly, again and again.

"It seems like going there is war." Naruto exhaled, took Nohara Nao's hand and walked in another direction, "Don't talk, just follow me."

"Uh-huh."

"We are now going to find the Loulan royal family. They are the only ones who know where the other entrance to the dragon vein is." Naruto explained as they walked.

"Okay." Nao Nohara didn't understand anything, but just nodded.

The situation was far more tragic than Naruto had imagined. The people of Loulan were killed or injured, and the Queen of Loulan died in the war to protect the people.

Princess Sarah was taken away and her whereabouts are now unknown.

What a missing person, but Naruto refused to believe it. Given Sarah's personality, she would never leave Loulan. It is hard to leave her hometown. Sarah must be hiding somewhere.

"What should we do now?" Nao Nohara, wearing a white sand-proof robe and with cracked lips, looked at Naruto with an anxious look.

"If we find Princess Sarah, we will find the dragon vein." Naruto still insisted. He knew that finding Sarah was the only solution now.

It took another three days to find Princess Sarah among the refugees in Loulan, looking decadent. Her eyes were vacant, her face was haggard, and her hair was tangled.

From a princess two months ago to a homeless beggar now, you can’t recognize her unless you look closely.

The iron hoof of war was so fierce and devastating, it was simply not something a small country like Loulan could withstand. It took Sunagakure half a day to flatten Loulan and push the battlefield to the border of the Grass Kingdom.

In their eyes, Loulan probably didn't even rank at all, not even an enemy.

Sarah was completely like a walking corpse. She was dragged to a sunny place and looked up at the two people standing in the light. Her eyes were dim and she showed no reaction.

"Long time no see, Princess Sarah," Naruto said.

"Yeah." Sarah showed no emotion. She was wearing old clothes and huddled in a corner with a dull look in her eyes.

"What's wrong with her?" Nao Nohara walked forward and felt a little sorry for the dirty girl.

"She must have been stimulated. She has always grown up under the protection of the queen and has never experienced any major storms." Naruto said in a low voice.

"Now, all of a sudden, the country is broken up, the family is ruined, the queen is dead, and the people are dead or injured. This country can no longer exist."

"Would you like to help her?"

"How to help?"

"This..." Nohara Nao was also in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, she suddenly looked up at Naruto and said, "Hey, can you take one more person with you to the future?"

"Ok??"

Chapter 359: Back to Konoha, finally settled, Dingci's wedding

"It's probably hard for her to stay here like this," Nohara Nao said. "Besides, if I really went there alone, I probably wouldn't be able to adapt."

"It's nice to have someone to keep me company. We can find something to do together. Actually, when you think about it, it's pretty amazing that we've been able to cross over twenty years."

"If there's no personal witness, even if you tell others about it, they might not believe it."

"Ah? That makes some sense, but..." Naruto glanced down at Princess Sarah, who looked like a zombie, huddled in her gray and dirty robe.

"She may not agree. What if she recovers and wants to restore the country? If we take her away like this, won't we have no chance in the future?"

Nohara Nao frowned and stared at him.

"When did you become so kind?"

"What are you talking about? I've always been like this..."

"Oh, I don't know who took my body and tricked me into the future." Nao Nohara squatted there. Girls learn how to have a bad temper without any instruction.

Well, Naruto has nothing to say.

"What was your name, Beiyan?" she said unhappily, looking up. "How could you be so deceitful? You even gave me a wristband. You clearly have other motives."

Naruto curled his lips. Can you say this is life experience?

"Can that be called cheating? It's something I did willingly. Ahem, stop talking nonsense. Just take it with you. It's not a big deal anyway. Go ask, don't be stupid."

"You are the stupid one." Nao Nohara stood up and smelled a pungent smell before she walked in front of Sarah. She didn't know how long she had been confused. It was really dirty.

But she didn't despise her. She heard that she was a pampered princess, and she couldn't help but feel pity for her when she saw her miserable appearance.

They say it's hard to leave one's hometown. When Nohara Nao came here, she was confused. She heard that the journey would be long and she didn't bring anything with her. Now, she suddenly remembered that it would be better to find a companion.

There is nothing more suitable than Sarah in front of me. In a different time and place, there is someone to talk to.

"Is there any place to wash nearby? I'll take her to wash. Hey, is there anything to eat?" Nao Nohara got busy, and the last bit of uneasiness in her heart disappeared.

"Yes, they should be underground." Naruto was relieved. After thinking about it carefully, it was not a bad deal. He could bring two people back to keep them company, and he could save himself a lot of trouble.

You can't really be like Jia Baoyu, wandering around among women.

Sometimes, he also wanted to sleep alone at home, lying in all kinds of places. After lying in bed, he would bask in the sun, get a popsicle and eat it, and just stay like that.

Thinking ahead, Naruto led the two women deep underground and found a flowing water source under Loulan. Nohara Nao was comforting Sarah and washing her.

She had learned how to take care of patients in medical classes, so her movements were gentle and her tone did not irritate Sarah.

Naruto waited outside, waiting for the two women to come out.

About an hour later, Nohara Nao cleaned up Sarah and brought her out. Naruto took a quick look and saw that she was very different from the Princess Sarah he had met two months ago.

Sarah was innocent at that time, hiding behind the Queen of Loulan. Her eyes seemed to speak, swirling around in circles, filled with curiosity about everything in the world.

Now... when Sarah looked up at him, her eyes were rough and had lost their luster. As if she had been tumbled in a mud pit, and she looked at him without focus.

This was a real shock; the little flowers in the greenhouse were destroyed by the sudden outbreak of war. The princess who was on the run no longer had to flee; she was physically gone.

The people, the country, and the queen all disappeared into the depths of the desert.

Thanks to the fact that the Queen of Loulan was so popular and died for Loulan, the survivors hid her and protected her well, so at least her life was not in danger.

Naruto didn't care much. He looked at the two people who had tidied up and pointed to a place and said.

"Ask her if the dragon vein is right underneath?"

"Oh oh." Nohara Nao asked as expected, speaking softly.

Sarah looked up at Nao Nohara. She didn't recognize her, but she had just given her a bath. She looked to the side and saw the yellow-haired guy. Oh, she knew him.

"Yes." Princess Sarah nodded and let herself be pulled away.

After finding the dragon vein, the next thing was much simpler. Naruto was able to activate the dragon vein by himself, pulling the two women to stand on the side, and placing his hands on the cleared dragon vein.

A purple chakra storm swirled wildly, and Naruto invoked the Ido Prophecy at the perfect moment. Time and space were twisted, the rules broken, and Nao Nohara and Sara were transported back twenty years.

Naruto was still able to stay awake in the long river of time, but the two girls beside him couldn't do that. The two girls had their eyes closed, as if they were dreaming.

He looked down at the translucent blue river of time beneath his feet. The magnificent scenery, like the starry sky, made him... want to chop it with a knife.

Time travel is such a ridiculous thing. I'd rather just travel through time myself than give others the chance to travel back. The best thing to do is to cut it off and burn the bridge.

He pondered for a moment, thinking that time was something that should be under the control of the God of Death. He could at least get close to it. He decided to try and get the God of Death to appear, even if it was just a shadow.

With a thought, Naruto tried to cast the Shiki Fuujin seal. He heard the whistling of a chilling wind, and the giant phantom of the Grim Reaper was actually summoned, hanging behind him.

Numerous shadows followed him as he crossed the long river of time.

Green face, fangs, white robe. He naturally sensed the presence of the phantom of Death, frowned, and prepared to try to mobilize the phantom of Death to pull out the white dagger in his mouth.

No matter whether it works or not, just try it first and talk about the rest later.

"Move?" Naruto wanted to look back, but he was hit by the long river of time and couldn't look back at all.

What he didn't see was that behind the shadow of the Grim Reaper stood a black shadow that was dozens of times taller than him, holding a long sword as black as ink in his hand.

Rather than saying that Naruto was controlling the phantom of the god of death to draw his sword and slash at the river of time behind him, it would be more accurate to say that the huge black shadow behind him was forcing the shadow of the god of death to take action.

As the shadowy figure of the Grim Reaper slashed down with his sword, Naruto pricked up his ears to listen, but heard no sound.

"Hmm?" Unfortunately, I couldn't look back.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a louder explosion-like sound behind him. Naruto's eyes lit up and he thought to himself, "What the hell is there a delay?"

Behind him, where he could not see, a long sword as black as ink cut off the long river of time, and the colorful starry sky was torn apart, leaving only an endless river of darkness.

The shadow of the god of death trembled with fear, and put the white dagger into his mouth and bit it.

At the moment before returning to his position, Naruto casually raised his hand and sucked Nao Nohara and Princess Sarah of Loulan into the sealed space. The next second, he opened his eyes in Sakura's arms.
