Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Brother Minato, Come and Experience the Mind-Boggling Scenario!
After listening to Naruto's account, Reiki pieced together the situation. It appeared that his future self had not shared what had transpired in Rouran with Naruto. Moreover, Rouran Kingdom was no longer in this location during Naruto's youth, having moved from the Land of Wind to the Land of Fire. The reasons behind the Fire Daimyo's approval and Rouran's relocation were likely tied to what Reiki planned to do next.
"Sara, do you truly think this place is suitable for your kingdom's development?" Reiki asked.
The Land of Wind was rich in metal resources but not easy to exploit. Additionally, Sunagakure's presence meant Rouran's interests would likely come into conflict with the powerful village. In short, this region was filled with challenges and offered limited benefits. Worse, the oasis they depended on likely existed due to the nearby Dragon Vein. If Reiki manipulated the Dragon Vein or if Minato sealed it, the area could soon become a desert wasteland, unsuitable for Rouran's survival.
"You're suggesting we leave?" Sara's eyes widened. "Rebuild Rouran somewhere else?"
For a moment, Sara felt that Reiki, despite his intimidating power, was speaking like an idealistic child. Moving an entire nation, especially amidst the turbulent times of the ninja world? The once-great Whirlpool Country had fallen due to coordinated attacks from various villages. Where could they establish themselves and thrive? In the Land of Fire where Konoha resided? Even though Konoha was powerful, Sara would need recognition from the Fire Daimyo to ensure its safety.
"Exactly," Reiki confirmed. "I understand you don't yet believe in my capability. So, I will find a suitable location for your kingdom first, and then we'll discuss it."
Turning to Naruto, he said, "I know you're eager to fight. Go ahead, show me what you've got."
"Alright, Teacher Reiki, watch me closely—I'm not weak anymore!" Naruto said, excitement brimming in his voice as he made a hand seal. In an instant, he unleashed his Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, filling the area with clones that surrounded the approaching puppets.
"Impressive chakra reserves," Reiki noted. "Minato must have learned how to separate the tailed beast's chakra and imbue Naruto with part of the Nine-Tails' power." He nodded, satisfied. This level of power was substantial, even without full Tailed Beast transformation.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
Three figures appeared before Reiki: Minato and his team, who had been investigating An Lushanzan.
"Mission over?" Reiki asked curiously. According to the timeline, Minato shouldn't be here yet.
"No," Minato responded. "He vanished. We noticed the battle here and came to assist. What's the situation?"
"It's manageable for now," Reiki replied. Then, with a playful smirk, he added, "Brother Minato, when did you have such a grown son outside?"
"Huh?" Minato's eyes widened in shock. "Son?! Reiki, don't say such nonsense. I'm fully devoted to Kushina. Even the sun and moon bear witness. If this reaches her ears, I'll be—"
"Who is that?!" Minato's eyes locked on Naruto, whose fighting style—particularly his use of the *Rasengan*—caught his attention. The golden hair, blue eyes, and innocent demeanor were eerily familiar. If he hadn't been certain of his loyalty to Kushina, he would have thought this boy was his own child.
"Uzumaki Naruto!" Reiki said with a grin.
"Uzumaki?" The name sent Minato's mind reeling. He'd read about Naruto in one of Jiraiya's novels and had even considered naming a future son after the character. And the surname Uzumaki...
"Let's focus on the battle first, Brother Minato," Reiki said. "We can discuss this afterward. I need to treat the wounded."
Turning back to the house, Reiki approached the guard he had previously cut in half, who was still writhing on the floor.
"Queen Sara requested mercy for you. You'd better repay her loyalty after this," Reiki said as he used the power of his *surgical fruit* to piece the guard back together and heal him. The guard's mind reeled from the experience, as such trauma was bound to leave a lasting mark.
After the treatment, Reiki moved on to heal the guard incapacitated by his shadow clone, prioritizing speed over interrogation. Once healed, the guard collapsed in relief, terrified at the thought that he might have remained shattered and lifeless forever.
Moments later, the guard knelt before Sara. "My Lady Queen, I, Xiduo, pledge my eternal loyalty to you!" he declared earnestly.
"Stand up," Sara replied coolly. "Actions speak louder than vows."
Meanwhile, Minato was too fixated on Naruto to pay attention to anything else. His eyes followed the young boy's every move, the familiar technique and appearance gnawing at him.
Who was this boy?
