"Brother Naruto, have you found any clues related to the centipede?" Obito asked.
Although he had many questions in his mind, they were not suitable to be asked when they were together. Obito felt that it would be better for him to ask them alone.
What is known now is that Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato know Kakashi and Might Guy, but do not know Mu Yue, him, and Nohara Rin. Asuma may know them, but since he did not answer, we cannot be sure.
"We searched many places and asked many people, but found nothing. Could the centipede have traveled through time? Then Sakura and Sai would be in danger." As he spoke, a trace of worry flashed across Uzumaki Naruto's face.
Yamato's expression was also very solemn, as things had happened a little beyond his expectations.
"It's not very convenient here. Let's go to the room to communicate." Mu Yue suggested.
Although there are not many people around now, you still need to pay attention.
Kakashi and Yamato both nodded, and then everyone went to Mu Yue's room together.
"When we were investigating An Lushan today, we were also paying attention to the matter of the centipede. Not only did we not find anyone with a similar appearance, but even the name centipede didn't seem to have appeared in Loulan." Obito said as he sat down cross-legged.
In order to make it easier to find someone, Yamato gave them the portrait of the Centipede, so when they were on a mission, he was always trying to help Naruto and the others keep an eye out for the Centipede.
Nohara Lin poured a glass of water for everyone and brought it to them.
"It's the same as our investigation results." Yamato took the teacup and thanked him.
"I asked many residents near the location we crossed, and there was no one else who looked suspicious that day except Naruto."
Yamato went to investigate after using the transformation technique. He was not surprised that Naruto was identified as a suspicious person. With Uzumaki Naruto's personality, he would definitely ask passers-by questions as soon as he traveled through time.
However, when he pretended to offer a reward for finding his relatives and asked the residents with the portrait of the centipede, he got a negative answer. Yamato felt something was wrong.
This means that the Centipede may not have traveled through time and space, and is still in its original time and space. At the same time, it also means that Sakura and Sai, who also did not travel through time, have to face the Centipede that has absorbed the power of the dragon vein, and it also means that it may be difficult for them to go back.
After listening to Yamato's information, Kakashi frowned. It would not be a big deal if there were no suspicious people. If the other party was a cautious ninja, he would not make himself an outlier in the crowd so quickly.
But if even the portraits all deny the answer, there are only two possibilities. One is that Baizu was lucky and no one saw him when he appeared, and then he quickly used the transformation technique to hide his whereabouts.
The second possibility is terrifying, that is, only Naruto and Yamato traveled through time and space, and the Centipede did not come.
"Damn it, it was clearly him who caused the accident, how come Captain Yamato and I are the only ones who traveled through time and space?" Naruto became a little anxious when he thought that his teammates might be in danger.
"Since the centipede will appear in the future, can we wait in Loulan until the centipede appears, and then defeat it in one fell swoop?" Obito suddenly thought of a good idea.
Naruto stared at Obito with wide eyes and realized that this seemed to make some sense, but he didn't know how many years he would have to wait.
"This won't work. Naruto and the others traveled from the future, which means there will be another Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato in our world. If they keep waiting like this, then there will be two of them in the world. How will they get along then?" Kakashi shook his head.
Obito's plan was too ideal, and if the two people from the future stayed in the present, God knew what kind of impact it would have on history. It was hard to say whether they could move towards the original future, let alone ambush the Centipede on the spot.
Obito thought about it and found that Kakashi's words made more sense. If there were two of him, wouldn't he become his love rival?
"We can't stay here too long. Staying too long would be irresponsible to the ninja world and to history." Yamato agreed in a deep voice.
Yamato was a little surprised that Kakashi could think of this. Although he was still young, that Kakashi-senpai was still Kakashi-senpai after all, and he was always so reliable at critical moments.
"You don't have to worry, the centipede must have traveled through." Mu Yue said affirmatively.
Yamato looked at Mu Yue. Although he now knew that Mu Yue was not the Fourth Hokage, based on Mu Yue's performance, Mu Yue was undoubtedly a very reliable ninja who would not act without purpose.
"According to your description, the centipede swallowed up the seal of the Fourth Hokage, causing the dragon vein power to run wild. In the end, you traveled through time and space, so..." Mu Yue used his extremely profound ninjutsu skills to start the class.
In order to fool everyone, he even used some of Flying Thunder God's knowledge. Everyone was stunned. Although they didn't understand much, they could sense that the content was not simple.
"So the centipede must have traveled through time just like you. The current situation may be caused by the centipede coming here earlier than you, maybe a few weeks earlier, a few months earlier, or even a few years earlier." Mu Yue concluded.
"In that case, it would be even harder to find him. The ninja world is so big, who knows where he has gone." Naruto scratched his head in distress.
Mu Yue's explanation was long and profound, giving people a feeling of awe. In addition, Mu Yue was very kind, so Uzumaki Naruto directly believed Mu Yue's explanation.
After thinking about it, Yamato felt that Mu Yue's explanation was the best and most reasonable, but his expression still did not relax. Just as Uzumaki Naruto said, it is too difficult to find someone in such a large ninja world.
"I don't think he has left Loulan. Since he wants to obtain the power of Loulan's dragon veins, how could he let go of Loulan where there are no hostile ninjas blocking him?" Mu Yue said, pushing his glasses with his left hand.
"As for why he couldn't find the information, it's probably because he was worried that you guys would follow him and change your appearance."
"I will go negotiate with the Queen tomorrow and see if I can get some relevant information from her."
Naruto gave Mu Yue a thumbs up and thanked him, "Brother Mu Yue, thank you so much, I think you are really awesome!"
Obviously everyone was confused, but Mu Yue was able to extract useful information and finally get the answers they wanted.
"Of course. Look who this is. Teacher Mu Yue can do anything!" Obito, a loyal follower of Master Mu Yue, immediately began to promote his beliefs.
Pah!
Mu Yue put her middle finger and index finger together, tapped Obito's head lightly, and smiled helplessly: "I don't even know that I am omnipotent."
Obito chuckled twice and didn't care about the divine punishment. It was reasonable for the almighty Mu Yue Sage to be humble.
"Thank you so much for troubling you, Lord Mu Yue." Yamato bowed and thanked him.
He was really curious about Mu Yue. Why did this gentle and easy-going strong man have no reputation in later generations? Was it because he died in battle too early?
Yamato felt heavy-hearted when he thought of this. Even if he could guess this result, he couldn't help Mu Yue in any way.
"If Kakashi-senpai were here, what would he do?" Yamato couldn't help but think in his heart.
Although Kakashi always bullies him and often does not act according to plan when performing missions, the final results are always good, so Yamato has always trusted Kakashi.
As Yamato was thinking, he saw the young version of Kakashi sitting opposite him. After Obito and the others finished discussing their mission, Muyue and the others began to exchange information about their own missions. Kakashi was reporting their day's gains to Muyue in a serious manner.
"Senior was quite cute when he was a child, and his eyes were very bright. Why did his eyes become dead fish eyes later?" Comparing the young and old Kakashi, and taking a look at the loving atmosphere of the Muyue class, Yamato vaguely guessed something.
There were four people in total, but he only knew Kakashi.
After everything was discussed, they began to disperse. Mu Yue was going to start studying the sealing technique, Nohara Rin was going to wash up, and Obito and Kakashi had an argument again and quarreled all the way. Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato also returned to their rooms.
Four hours later, the door of Obito's room was slowly opened with a very low volume. Then Obito stuck his head out and looked around. After making sure that he was not discovered, Obito quietly walked to Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato's room.
Obito knocked on the door twice, then tiptoed in.
"Obito, why are you so cautious?" Uzumaki Naruto asked in confusion.
Yamato showed hesitation on his face. He probably guessed Obito's purpose. What else could he want to be besides wanting to know the future by sneaking into the room of their future time traveler at night?
"Ahem, nothing, just want to ask some questions." Obito did not hide anything and quickly explained his purpose.
"Don't you know Teacher Mu Yue? I mean before you traveled through time."
Obito stared at Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato. He had been restraining himself during the day because he really wanted to know the answer.
"I don't know him. Today is the first time I meet Brother Mu Yue." Uzumaki Naruto shook his head and replied.
Mu Yue is very special, and Uzumaki Naruto feels that he will never forget Mu Yue if he has met her.
After Uzumaki Naruto answered, Obito turned all his attention to Yamato. Yamato looked much older than Uzumaki Naruto and should know more than Naruto.
"I don't know Lord Mu Yue either." Yamato thought about it, and finally did not avoid it and answered Obito's question directly.
He really didn't want to change history, but facing Obito's almost begging gaze, Yamato couldn't remain silent or lie.
"But these shouldn't have much impact." Yamato comforted himself. Before coming here, he didn't even know about Hanyu Muyue.
"How could this be..." A look of confusion appeared on Obito's face.
In his opinion, even if a ninja as outstanding as Teacher Mu Yue is very low-key, it is impossible for him to be so unknown.
"Then who will be the vice-principal of the Ninja School?" Obito continued to ask.
Yamato shook his head, indicating that he was not clear about this matter.
"Vice Principal? Does a ninja school have a vice principal?" Uzumaki Naruto asked puzzledly.
He only remembered that Grandpa Hokage was the principal of the ninja school, and that was it.
Obito was thinking frantically in his mind, wondering where else there must be traces of Mu Yue.
But he was surprised to find that he couldn't think of it. First of all, Mu Yue was very low-key. Even if he defeated a strong enemy like the candidate Raikage, he asked them not to spread it everywhere. Then, Obito didn't know whether Mu Yue held any other positions in departments besides the position in the Ninja School.
"Damn Kakashi, Teacher Mu Yue is so outstanding, doesn't he tell other people about his deeds?" The depressed Obito scolded Kakashi in his heart.
The most clear information at present is the future Kakashi. The future Kakashi is Yamato's predecessor and also Uzumaki Naruto's teacher.
Obito felt that if Kakashi could tell Uzumaki Naruto a little about Mu Yue's story, things would not be like this.
"What about Nohara Rin? You don't have any impression of her at all? Kakashi didn't mention her either?" Obito let out a long breath and changed the question.
Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato shook their heads together. This was also someone they didn't know and had never heard of.
After getting this answer, Obito clenched his fists tightly. His nails dug into his flesh due to excessive force, but he still did not relax at all.
He simply couldn't imagine that there would be no Mu Yue and no Nohara Lin in the future. He didn't believe in such a future, nor did he want such a future.
"Teacher Minato, you should know this, right?" Obito bit his tongue, forced himself to calm down and continued asking.
"Yes." Yamato nodded, "Lord Minato is the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. He is the greatest hero in the war."
Due to the previous mistaken identity mistake, the fact that Minato Namikaze was the Fourth Hokage had basically been leaked, so Yamato felt that it didn't matter if he said more about it.
"How did Mr. Minato die and why?" Obito directly asked about the cause of Minato's death.
As the Hokage, it is impossible for Minato Namikaze to die in vain.
Yamato closed his eyes. He didn't know whether he should continue talking or what the consequences would be.
"Captain Yamato, you know, if you know, just tell it. Wouldn't it be great if you could prevent the death of the Fourth Hokage?" Uzumaki Naruto said to Yamato.
He was not quite clear about this matter. He knew very little about the Fourth Hokage. Only when he was with Jiraiya would Jiraiya tell him a little.
For example, the Rasengan was developed by the Fourth Hokage in three years, and the Fourth Hokage was a true genius ninja.
"Naruto, it's not that I don't want to say it, but if history has changed, what will the world be like when we go back? Will it be the same as before, or will it change with the changes in history?" Yamato said helplessly, opening his eyes.
"If this change is for the better, and the Fourth Hokage survives and Konoha becomes stronger, then that's naturally a good thing. But if our recklessness leads to the accidental destruction of Konoha, then we will become sinners in history."
Yamato actually didn't know much about the death of the Fourth Hokage. The details of the incident were highly confidential. He only knew that the main reason was the Nine-Tails' rampage, and the Fourth Hokage died in order to protect the village and seal the Nine-Tails.
So Yamato really didn't dare to say anything careless. It would be really troublesome if his good intentions led to something bad and caused Konoha to suffer greater trauma.
Yamato didn't think he was someone who had the ability to influence the course of history, so he chose to maintain the status quo. This way, at least he wouldn't be happy to go back and find that Konoha was gone.
Uzumaki Naruto opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't think of how to refute Yamato.
If it was just his own life, Uzumaki Naruto could just stand up and say no. He dared to challenge, and if he won, Mu Yue and the Fourth Hokage would survive, but if he lost he would die.
But Naruto cannot gamble with other people's lives, he is not qualified.
Obito also felt the heaviness in Yamato's words. Although there were only two of them, they actually carried the entire future on their shoulders.
But Obito still didn't want to give up. Without Sensei Muyue, Xiaolin and Sensei Minato, he didn't want that kind of future, and he didn't accept such a future. He wanted to create a future where everyone could survive.
Boom boom!
Just as Obito was about to say something else, there was a knock on the door.
Obito looked around, finally locked onto the closet in the room, and hid inside.
During the day, Mu Yue had already expressed his opinion on the issue of future ninjas, and Obito didn't want to make Mu Yue worry.
Before entering, Obito specifically whispered to Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato not to tell him that he had been there.
"It's little Kakashi-sensei, why are you so cautious?"
Obito, who was hiding in the closet, listened to the conversation and found out that the person who came was not Mu Yue, but Kakashi.
"Does Kakashi want to know the future too?" Obito controlled his breathing and listened quietly to the conversation between them.
Kakashi looked at Naruto with a frown. Although he was called teacher, he didn't feel any respect. Who would add "small" in front of teacher?
Yamato felt a headache when he saw the young version of Kakashi walking in. Senior Kakashi is not easy to deal with.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I have something that I want to ask you about." Kakashi sat down and explained his purpose.
Uzumaki Naruto felt that it looked familiar, as if he had just experienced this entrance and opening remarks once before.
As expected, Kakashi immediately began to ask about Mu Yue Nohara Rin and Obito.
Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato did not hide anything about this aspect of the problem, because they didn't know anything about Mu Yue and the others.
However, to Yamato's surprise, Kakashi did not ask about Minato next, but talked about himself.
"Since one of you is my future disciple and the other is my future junior, then tell me what kind of person I will be like in the future." Kakashi said after thinking.
Uzumaki Naruto became excited when he heard Kakashi talking about this.
"Teacher Kakashi, you really should pay attention to the time. In the future you are simply a latecomer. You are late every day and have never been on time. When you are late, you have to use lame excuses to fool us. You either meet a lost old woman or a black cat and lose the direction of life." Uzumaki Naruto complained.
Uzumaki Naruto has really tolerated Kakashi's behavior for a long time.
Kakashi was a little dazed. He, who was always punctual, would often be late in the future. And the reason seemed familiar: helping an old lady.
"Could it be that guy Obito..." Kakashi remained silent and continued to listen to Naruto's story.
"You're always lazy. You said you were going to teach us how to change the nature of wind-attribute chakra, but you were just watching the intimate scene next to us. Fortunately, Captain Yamato is diligent."
"I want to make something clear about this matter. It's not that I'm diligent. It was Kakashi who tricked me into completing all the work." Seeing Uzumaki Naruto talking about things related to himself, Yamato had to come out to clarify.
Yamato discovered that whenever he was on a mission with Kakashi, he would feel particularly tired because Kakashi would always make him do all the work unconsciously.
The corners of Kakashi's mouth twitched. What was going on? He felt like his future self was such a jerk.
"I knew that Kakashi was not a good guy." Obito, hiding in the closet, couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"But Senior Kakashi is not without his merits. No matter what the mission is, it will always be completed under the leadership of Senior Kakashi. No matter what the process is, the result is always good." After criticizing him, Yamato couldn't help but praise Kakashi for his reliability.
Kakashi's expression remained unchanged, and now he looked a little more like himself.
"Because he suffered multiple blows, he ended up in that miserable state..." Kakashi was basically certain, based on his future self's image, that many important people around him had died.
"In the end, did you fail to successfully protect the existence you wanted to protect?" Kakashi touched the White Fang short blade behind him.
In order to protect the people he cares about, Kakashi would rather die in battle, but the future seems to be completely contrary to his ideas. He is the only one who survived in the entire Muyue class.
"If you think I am your Kakashi teacher or Kakashi senior, please tell me everything that I care about the future." Kakashi said with an extremely serious expression.
He was not a person who liked to take advantage of feelings, and he even less liked taking advantage of the future ninja's feelings towards his future self. But there was something Kakashi disliked even more, and that was watching the demise of the people he cared about.
Traveling through time and space is an extremely bizarre thing. Now two ninjas from the future are right in front of him, and having learned of the death of his companions, Kakashi must consider whether this will be his only chance of salvation in his life.
He didn't want to regret one day in the future that he didn't try his best to change the fate of his companion's death, so he chose to use emotions in a despicable way.
"If I can't successfully protect my companions, there is no point in me living alone. If Teacher Mu Yue and the others die, no matter who the enemy is or how strong the enemy is, I would rather die at his hands than escape alone." Kakashi said seriously.
He was showing his determination and also kidnapping. His meaning was very clear. If Mu Yue and the others were bound to die, then he would not be able to survive.
"Young Teacher Kakashi..." Naruto looked at Kakashi a little madly. If he knew less, he would have told it all long ago.
Yamato on the side also fell into deep self-blame and confusion.
He didn't know how to choose. Telling people about the future might change history and lead to unknown accidents. But if he didn't tell them, they might not see Kakashi when they returned, and the lazy, informal but very reliable senior in his memory would be dead forever.
"Kakashi..."
Obito, who was hiding in the closet, was moved by Kakashi's words, and the image of Kakashi in his mind didn't seem so hateful anymore.
"Tell me everything, please believe me, believe that we can make Konoha and the ninja world better." Kakashi took the White Fang short blade behind him and said sincerely.
He knew that changing the future was very risky and immoral to people in the future, so Kakashi chose to bear it all alone, hoping that he would be the only one who was wrong in the end.
Bang!
Yamato suddenly raised his arm and hit Kakashi's head hard.
Kakashi looked at Yamato in confusion, he could sense that Yamato had no desire to attack or kill.
"Damned Kakashi-senpai, I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time because you always bully me." Recalling the feeling just now, Yamato felt a sense of comfort in his heart, and his thoughts became clear instantly. He felt that this was more comfortable than taking a hot spring bath.
Kakashi: ...
You're blaming Future Kakashi for this, right?
Yamato's knock made Uzumaki Naruto a little eager. This was a chance to knock down teacher Kakashi, and little teacher Kakashi at that. If he missed it, he would probably never have another chance.
"Really? Kakashi-senpai is always so troublesome no matter how old he is." Yamato sighed, ready to tell him everything he knew.
In the end, he chose to believe in Kakashi, the senior Kakashi whom he had always relied on.
There was nothing he could do if he didn't say it, Yamato could feel it, because with their arrival, history was actually changing.
If he doesn't answer Kakashi's question, then Kakashi might really die, which means history will change, and the chain reaction will lead Konoha to an unknown situation.
Since the future will change anyway, Yamato chooses to believe in Kakashi.
"The Fourth Hokage died very early and was the Hokage with the shortest reign. He died because..." Just as Yamato was about to tell Kakashi the cause of the Fourth Hokage's death, the door was suddenly knocked again.
"Don't tell anyone else that I was here. Just let me bear this alone." Kakashi said in a very low voice and walked quickly to the only closet in the room that could hide a person.
Since he is the only one who will survive in the future, this heavy burden will be borne by him alone.
"Kaka-chan..." Uzumaki Naruto was about to say that there was already someone there, but unfortunately Kakashi was too fast. Kakashi had already opened the cabinet before Naruto opened his mouth.
quiet--
Kakashi and Obito looked at each other, and the whole room became extremely quiet, with only a slight knock on the door.
"Kakashi, hehe, what a coincidence." Obito laughed embarrassedly.
Kakashi's expression was a little awkward. He had just made such a great mental preparation, but in the blink of an eye he found out that another person also knew about it.
Although he was speechless, Kakashi still hid in the closet with Obito and listened quietly to the sounds outside.
"Xiao Lin, it's you. What's the matter?" Uzumaki Naruto greeted her in a familiar manner.
"Excuse me, I just want to ask you something." Nohara Lin said with a smile.
Kakashi and Obito in the closet looked at each other in silence, and it seemed that the three of them were thinking the same thing.
Yamato helplessly held his forehead with his right hand. What kind of thing was this? The three of them might as well come together to ask and save some time.
The questions asked by Nohara Rin were almost the same as those asked by Kakashi and the others. Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato answered Nohara Rin's questions very fluently.
Because it was too smooth, it seemed as if they had not thought much about it, which made Nohara Lin look at Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato with suspicion. Nohara Lin felt that Uzumaki Naruto and the others were fooling her.
Yamato was speechless. He had said it several times, how could it not be fluent?
Before Nohara Lin could ask a few questions, there was another knock on the door, but this time it was not as subtle as before.
"Yamato, Naruto, are you asleep? I'm Mu Yue." Mu Yue spoke from outside the door.
When Nohara Lin heard Mu Yue's voice, she quickly looked around and then rushed straight to the cabinet.
Yamato, Uzumaki Naruto: ...
What was this, a class bond?
Yamato really wanted to use Wood Release to build a new locker for Nohara Rin to hide in. Three people in one locker would be a bit crowded and awkward.
After the cabinet was opened, Nohara Rin was confused. On one side was Obito with an embarrassed smile, and on the other side was Kakashi with a somewhat uncontrollable expression.
Although it was unclear what was going on, Mu Yue outside was about to come over, so Nohara Lin had to go in and close the door.
"Brother Mu Yue, are you here to ask about the future?" Uzumaki Naruto asked directly.
Since the entire Muyue class wants to know about the future, and Yamato is willing to say it, Uzumaki Naruto thinks there is no need to make it so troublesome and just make chatting like a spy mission.
"No." Mu Yue replied with a smile and shook her head.
Since he remembered the plot of the original work very clearly, and Naruto Uzumaki of this period knew less than he did, he certainly didn't need to ask Naruto Uzumaki.
"Although what happened during the day was a misunderstanding, my disciples and I feel a little sorry for you after all. So if you have any ideas, you can tell me. Whether you want to learn ninjutsu or want to meet someone from the present era, I will give you help to the best of my ability." Mu Yue said.
"Brother Mu Yue, you are so kind, but my ninjutsu..." Uzumaki Naruto, who was originally smiling, suddenly froze in place when he thought of something.
He thought of someone, someone he missed very much, and also someone he wanted to see but could no longer see.
"Brother Mu Yue, do you know the lecherous sage? His name is Jiraiya, and he is one of the three ninjas of Konoha." Uzumaki Naruto asked Mu Yue with a burning gaze.
Uzumaki Naruto realized that this was the past, and the current Jiraiya was still alive and well, but he didn't know what the difference was between the current Jiraiya and the Jiraiya he knew.
"Lord Jiraiya is one of the three famous ninjas in Konoha. Of course I know him." Mu Yue nodded at Naruto's excited expression.
"Naruto..." Yamato wanted to remind Naruto not to influence history too much.
But when he thought about it, it was already like this, and it didn't seem like a big impact if Naruto and Jiraiya met. Anyway, it was definitely not as big of an impact as Kakashi and the others.
"Brother Mu Yue, please, I want to meet him once." Uzumaki Naruto said solemnly. He had something important to say to Jiraiya.
"I will try my best, but I'm not 100% sure that you two can meet." Mu Yue reminded.
Jiraiya was currently commanding a ninja unit at war with Iwagakure, so it was difficult for him to find time to meet a stranger, even someone he would become very close to in the future.
As for Uzumaki Naruto, they were traveling through time and space under the influence of the Loulan Dragon Vein. Mu Yue felt that it would be better for them not to leave Loulan for the time being.
Let me briefly explain the fact that Obito didn't open his Mangekyō. First of all, I heard from others that he was dead, and I didn't see it with my own eyes. The impact was not that great, otherwise it would have been very easy for Uchiha to open his eyes earlier. Second, it's because of Obito's age now. He is less than ten years old and doesn't have that strength. Isn't Sasuke's talent good enough? If his entire clan died, only a single magatama would be left.
