Chapter 91 – The Chakra of the Past
The dust finally settled inside the great tower of Rōran. The ancient stones glowed faintly with the lingering energy of the Dragon Vein. Naruto stood with his arm still outstretched, having just saved Queen Sara from falling debris.
Sara caught her breath, staring up at him with wide eyes.
"Thank you… for saving me."
Naruto smiled and scratched his cheek.
"Heh, don't mention it. I'm just glad you're safe. Where is....."
But as he spoke, his expression changed.
A faint ripple moved through the air—an all-too-familiar wave of chakra brushing against his senses. Naruto froze mid-sentence, his eyes narrowing.
That chakra…
Warm, steady… and impossibly familiar.
He closed his eyes and expanded his sensory field. The tower around him faded away as the vast network of chakra signatures filled his mind.
Some were faint and distant—sand shinobi patrols, — and Sasuke comiy to his direction and all so felt Sasuke chakra was low so he can not using his rinnegen ability to teleport
but then he felt it.
A pulse of golden, calm chakra—
strong yet gentle, like sunlight itself.
"This chakra…" Naruto whispered, his voice trembling slightly.
"It can't be…"
He knew that presence anywhere.
The same one that once stood beside him in the war, smiling proudly as he passed the Will of Fire to his son—
Minato Namikaze.
The Fourth Hokage.
His father.
Naruto's heart pounded in his chest.
"dad… are you really here?"
But there was more—
Two other chakra signatures coming close to Minato's side
One belonged to Kakashi—younger, sharper, brimming with unspent energy. His chakra density was heavier than the Kakashi he knew . The Copy Ninja of this time was still in his young genius, full of fire.
And then—
Naruto felt the third one.
A chakra unlike any other.
Gentle… pure… steady as the earth's heartbeat.
It flowed smoothly, without malice, yet held vast depth and ancient resonance.
It was exactly Otsutsuki—no, it lacked their cold void—but it carried traces of something divine… but lack of the large chakra of that Otsustuki clan have
more like a level of the Uzumaki's life force and the Senju's vitality, wrapped in light.
Naruto's brows furrowed.
"That chakra… it's different."
Sara looked at him, confused.
"What's wrong?"
Naruto shook his head, a small smile returning to his face though his mind raced.
"Nothing. Just found… someone I didn't expect to feel again."
Inside, though, his thoughts churned.
Dad… Kakashi-sensei… and that third one…
Whoever he is—he's connected to the Dragon Vein. And maybe… to what brought us here.
Naruto turned toward the far horizon of Rōran, his cloak fluttering in the wind.
The air shimmered faintly in the distance—
the direction where Minato and Akira stood.
"Looks like it's time for a reunion," he said softly, and began to move.
