Minato Namikaze noticed their expressions and eyes, and began to explain.
"Teacher Kitazawa's Wood Release is incredibly powerful!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately said.
Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, and the others nodded.
"That's really impressive."
Minato Namikaze sighed, "Before you closed the Dragon Vein, Kitazawa had already captured An Lushan."
Choza Akimichi and young Kakashi Hatake were even more astonished.
They knew Minato Namikaze's personality very well; he never exaggerated anything.
In other words, Kitazawa's Wood Release technique truly impressed him.
"Cough cough."
Kitazawa steered the conversation back on track, saying, "An Lushan has been captured; now it's time to deal with the aftermath."
"Thank you all for your help."
Upon hearing this, the Queen of Loulan promised, "I will close An Lushan's puppet factory and will no longer use the power of the dragon vein."
She is not an ambitious person.
Furthermore, considering that An Lushan, despite possessing the power of the Dragon Vein, still failed to defeat Minato Namikaze and the others, she realized that the Dragon Vein was not invincible.
Loulan was just a small country, and it was too difficult to control. The best course of action was to stop using it altogether.
"Her Majesty is indeed a woman of great wisdom and understanding."
Minato Namikaze immediately praised it.
“An Lushan was handed over to me for interrogation.”
Kitazawa glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, pondered for a moment, and said, "I need three days."
Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback.
Three days is not a long time, but given Kitazawa's strength, he should be able to finish in less than three days.
"Great!"
Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed happily, "We can stay in Loulan for another three days!"
Minato Namikaze immediately understood.
He thought to himself that Kitazawa was truly a good teacher.
In comparison, his teacher Jiraiya was quite unreliable.
"The palace still needs time to be rebuilt, so please bear with us and stay in the side hall for the next three days."
The Queen of Loulan paused for a moment, then said, "But I guarantee you will receive the best treatment."
"You're too kind, Your Majesty."
Minato Namikaze shook his head and said, "You can go about your business and don't worry about us."
Their mission is complete, and they can leave Loulan at any time.
Of course, before returning to Konoha, they had to see Naruto and the others off to the future.
The Queen of Loulan nodded and immediately ordered someone to lead them to a side hall to rest.
She had a lot of things to do next.
After all, An Lushan left her with a mess.
Fortunately, the matter has been resolved smoothly.
"who are you?"
Upon arriving at the side hall, the young Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but look at him.
When Akimichi Choza was protecting the Loulan Queen with him, he did not tell Kitazawa and the others about their situation.
It wasn't that he wanted to keep it a secret, but rather that he planned to have Kakashi Hatake tell him.
As a result, Kakashi Hatake didn't tell him either.
Therefore, as soon as the battle ended, he couldn't wait to ask.
Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a few seconds before telling him the whole story.
After all, because of Kitazawa's actions, they would have to stay for three days.
However, Kakashi Hatake didn't say much, only that he was his future self.
Even so, young Kakashi Hatake was completely dumbfounded.
"You guys chat."
Kitazawa smiled and led An Lushan back to his room.
After closing the door, he immediately activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.
An Lushan was caught off guard and was directly controlled by him.
Kitazawa inquired about the dragon vein.
Although he has the memories from the original work, there's no harm in interrogating An Lushan.
After asking the questions, Kitazawa roughly understood the principle behind time travel.
Simply put, it means using the powerful dragon vein energy to impact spacetime and open a spacetime passage.
They traveled through time because the power of the dragon vein was actively activated by the centipede.
Now, if one wants to travel back in time, one must release the power of the dragon vein.
An Lushan happened to know how to make the dragon veins surge.
The solution isn't difficult.
The chakra remaining in An Lushan's body originally came from the dragon vein.
Once the two are connected, the dragon vein can be forcibly activated, thus revealing the power of the dragon vein.
Kitazawa's fourth bow has sealed away a significant amount of An Lushan's chakra, so it can be used to activate the dragon vein in his place.
He simply dismantled An Lushan.
The reason for using the word "dismantle" is because he is now a human puppet.
A human puppet is a person who has been transformed into a puppet, retaining only the core parts.
In other words, apart from the core area, the other parts are no longer flesh and blood.
After interrogating An Lushan, nothing major happened for the next three days.
Kitazawa deliberately stayed for three more days, indeed for Naruto Uzumaki.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Kitazawa and the others arrived at the core of the dragon vein, which is the dragon's eye.
It was here that the Queen of Loulan shut down the power of the dragon vein.
If Kitazawa and the others hadn't defeated An Lushan, she wouldn't have allowed them to enter the dragon vein's eye.
"Before you return to the future, we need to seal each other's memories."
Minato Namikaze spoke up first.
"Is it absolutely necessary to seal it?"
Naruto Uzumaki was taken aback and asked instinctively.
He experienced rare maternal and paternal love this week, and even though it was brief, he didn't want to lose this memory.
"Minato-senpai."
Kitazawa spoke up at the opportune moment, saying, "We are people from the future. Our past is fixed, so there is no need to seal our memories."
Minato Namikaze was taken aback.
That makes sense, but he was still worried that something might go wrong.
But seeing Naruto's pleading expression, he finally softened.
"Then please seal our memories."
Minato Namikaze changed his tune.
"I will activate the dragon vein immediately. Once the power of the dragon vein is unleashed, we will return to the future."
Kitazawa explained, "At that time, you just need to seal the dragon vein, Minato-senpai."
"No wonder."
Minato Namikaze sensed the closed loop of time.
He had never understood why he left behind the Flying Thunder God Kunai and the Dragon Vein Seal, but now he finally knew the reason.
"Please be careful."
After Kitazawa finished speaking, he immediately took out his fourth bow.
He hasn't named this bow yet.
Kitazawa formed a hand seal with one hand, and the dragon vein chakra inside the bow surged out, connecting with the dragon vein.
In an instant, the earth shook and purple chakra shot into the sky.
The scene was almost exactly the same as when Kitazawa and the others traveled through time before.
"Naruto, Kakashi, see you next time."
Minato Namikaze flashed his signature smile.
Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake felt their eyes turn red.
Theoretically speaking, they won't do it again.
Kitazawa took advantage of the time and quickly sealed away the memories of Minato Namikaze and the others.
As soon as the seal was completed, the eight of them disappeared from the spot.
"what happened?"
Akimichi Choza glanced around and asked, "How could the dragon vein suddenly erupt for no reason?"
Minato Namikaze shook his head.
All he remembered was that they were investigating An Lushan, the minister of Loulan.
However, he didn't have time to think too much. Now that the dragon vein was in turmoil, it had to be sealed.
[Current Mission: Defeat the Centipede and set history right.]
[Mission Reward: Tai Chi Rasengan]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
The purple chakra dissipated, and Kitazawa found himself back in the desert.
He stood there, processing the information that came to mind.
Now that the mission is complete, it goes without saying that they have returned to the future.
Tai Chi Rasengan, an S-rank ninjutsu, is a combination of Yang Release: Rasengan and Yin Release: Rasengan.
However, compared to typical composite ninjutsu, the Tai Chi Rasengan is more like a fusion, thus possessing greater power.
In the original work, it is known as the strongest Rasengan.
Of course, Kitazawa possessed quite a few powerful ninjutsu techniques.
For example, advanced Wood Release.
The biggest gain from this trip to the Dragon Vein wasn't the Tai Chi Rasengan, but rather my talent for space-time ninjutsu.
"How are you?"
Kitazawa snapped out of his daze and looked at Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and the others.
