Chapter 139 The Fourth Generation Father and Son's First Meeting [5 Updates]

Chapter 139 The Fourth Generation Father and Son's First Meeting [Fifth Update]

So when Tsunade was chosen as the final candidate, Kakashi Hatake wasn't really surprised.

Or rather, among the middle and upper echelons of Konoha, everyone actually has this expectation in their hearts: Konoha doesn't have many strong individuals left to boast about.

On the contrary, the appearance of Danzo, the 5.5th generation, was actually unexpected. An old man of advanced age who used self-modification to put himself in a peak state was inherently repulsive.

However, he noticed a detail: the Fifth Hokage Tsunade dispatched Naruto, Sakura, and Yamato to hunt down the rogue ninja Hyakujutsu of the Sand Silver. Was Sai's existence meant to fill the void left by Sasuke?

He then recalled the person Naruto saw in the previous video when he chased Sasuke to Orochimaru's lair.

As for Yamato, he should have taken my place.

Kakashi Hatake already had some guesses.

Suddenly, a video icon appeared in his diary, and Kakashi Hatake clicked on it with practiced ease.

The scene begins with Yamato's team—Yamato, Naruto, Sakura, and Sai—fighting against puppets.

"Puppetry, Sand Village, Centipede? That matches up!"

Kakashi Hatake thought to himself, although he didn't know who this person called Centipede was, it matched his knowledge.

Among all countries, puppeteers are a unique ninjutsu system in the Sand Village of the Land of Wind. Since Centipede was a traitor to the Sand Village, it is normal for him to be able to control puppets.

Looking at the timeline, it should be three years from now. After all, judging from Naruto's appearance and clothing, as well as Sakura's appearance after she grows up, it should be about three to four years from now.

This also aligns with Kitahara Kaede's statement that three years later, she was assigned by Tsunade to assist Sunagakure in hunting down rogue ninja.

"But, three years later, Konoha and Sunagakure signed an alliance treaty again?" Kakashi Hatake frowned.

Previous videos showed that six months later, Sunagakure would join forces with Orochimaru to launch a surprise attack on Konoha, implementing the so-called Konoha Crush Plan.

Ultimately, they failed, and Sunagakure likely backed down after the defeat. As a result, the two sides signed a new alliance treaty, and their relationship should be relatively good. Sunagakure might even ask Konoha for help in hunting down rogue ninja.

This situation is generally very rare, because each village's ninjas carry some of their village's secrets, such as training paths, traces of ninjutsu, and so on.

The body of a rogue ninja was taken away, and a lot can be studied from it.

This explains why, in a previous video, when the boy named Haku impersonated a member of the Hidden Mist Village's pursuit team and took Zabuza away, I didn't suspect anything.

A Jonin-level ninja has too many secrets, and they absolutely cannot fall into the hands of others.

So, did Sunagakure's trust in Konoha reach this level at that time?

Or perhaps, what happened to Sunagakure at that time that left them without the ability to even send out a Jonin-level rogue ninja to hunt down?

Kakashi Hatake didn't know, but his questions were growing.

"Three years later?"

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the newly formed Yamato Squad and felt a little unhappy. Although he knew that it was probably because he had left that a ninja named Sai had replaced him, he was still a little unhappy.

Although he usually shows that he looks down on Naruto Uzumaki, who is a loser, he also seems to look down on Team 7.

However, this was a rare ray of light in his bleak life.

After spending time together, although he didn't say it, he had gradually begun to accept Class 7.

Seeing that my position has been taken by someone else still makes me unhappy.

I thought to myself, this time, I will definitely not let anyone else take it from me.

In the scene, as the group fought, a large hole was dug in the ground.

With Yamato's explanation, everyone learned that beneath the Loulan ruins lay a sealed dragon vein chakra, with an endless stream of chakra slumbering underground.

This energy is being sealed within by the Fourth Hokage's technique.

However, when everyone arrived, they discovered that the horse-faced ninja was none other than the rogue ninja, Centipede.

"You lot are a bit too late. I'm about to infuse my puppetry with the power of the dragon vein. Once that happens, not only the five great nations, but the entire world will be at my disposal."

Upon hearing this, everyone off-screen simultaneously scoffed, especially after Kitahara Kaede's diary revealed a more realistic side of the world. No one believed that this ninja named Centipede could possess the power to rule the world.

At least in Kitahara Kaede's diary, there was not the slightest hint of fear towards him.

The fact that his rebellion was easily suppressed back then is clear evidence of this.

"That's impossible. You can't possibly break the Fourth Hokage's sealing technique," Yamato retorted.

"Hmph, of course I know that. Then I'll just devour the seal along with it."

With that, Centipede took action and destroyed the entire seal. The terrifying suction force created by the broken seal not only pulled Centipede in, but also Naruto and Yamato.

Soon, the scene shifts, and Naruto Uzumaki arrives at a dilapidated church, where a girl can be heard singing while crying in the distance.

However, before Naruto could say anything more, the girl ran away.

Naruto Uzumaki managed to escape outside, and just as he was marveling at the grandeur of the city, he was suddenly pursued by countless puppets.

Naruto Uzumaki ran and jumped, dodging the puppets' pursuit.

Everyone off-screen was shocked.

"Has the puppetry techniques of Sunagakure advanced to this level?"

Jiraiya stroked his chin. How could he not remember that the puppetry techniques of Sunagakure were at such an outrageous level? They could fly, fight in close combat, and attack from a distance. Each puppet was no less powerful than an ordinary Chunin, and even more troublesome than an ordinary Chunin.

As for Kakashi Hatake, he was even more shocked. It wasn't like he hadn't dealt with puppeteers from Sunagakure before. Generally speaking, puppeteers could only control one puppet. Those who could control ten puppets were already extremely rare top-level masters.

Above that is the Hundred Machine Manipulation, but that's a legendary ability, said to be able to slaughter an entire nation single-handedly.

His father, Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, made his name against Sunagakure, earning him a fearsome reputation.

Therefore, his family has a large amount of targeted research on puppetry, including countermeasures against puppetry, weaknesses, and so on.

However, it is clear that the puppets described in his father's notes on puppetry are far inferior to the puppets in the current scene.

Is it that centipede puppet?

This puppet's skill level is probably top-tier even in Sunagakure, so how did it become a rogue ninja?

In general, puppeteers would not be far from their puppets, but the puppeteer was not seen at all in the scene.

What truly surprised Sasuke Uchiha was that Naruto Uzumaki's taijutsu had improved significantly in three years, allowing him to easily dodge the combined attacks of various puppets while in mid-air.

"How did this loser's physical skills become so strong?"

Sasuke Uchiha was a little shocked. He remembered that Naruto Uzumaki's strength in the Ninja Academy was very poor in all aspects. His Three Body Techniques were very poor, his taijutsu was average, and his theoretical courses were even worse, so he ended up failing to graduate.

However, several years later, he was able to dodge various attacks with ease, far exceeding the level of a Chunin.

Should it be Jonin level?

However, just when Naruto was being chased to the point of having nowhere to run, a figure saved him at the last minute.

Then two more powerful Jonin-level ninjas appeared and easily dealt with the puppets chasing Naruto Uzumaki.

"Aburame Shiki, Akimichi Choza, and who is the last one?"

Jiraiya looked at the figures appearing on the screen.

However, based on the previous records in Kitahara Kaede's diary, he immediately realized it was that blond hair and that familiar figure.

It's a water gate!

To find his deceased disciple in Kitahara Kaede's diary, how could he not be moved?

"It's a teacher."

Kakashi Hatake also recognized the figure; it must be his teacher whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"What's going on with those puppets?"

In the scene, Naruto Uzumaki looks at the puppet below and says in shock.

Minato Namikaze also answered his question and resolved the question that Kakashi Hatake had asked off-screen earlier.

"It seems that it was strengthened through the chakra of the dragon vein."

"By the way, who are you?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the person next to him and asked.

"You're a Konoha ninja, right?"

In the scene, Minato Namikaze retorted, "We are also Konoha ninjas, and we must bandage your wounds as quickly as possible!"

As he spoke, Minato Namikaze removed part of his mask, revealing Konoha's headband underneath.

The scene then shifts to reveal a figure with a full beard, none other than An Lushan, also known as Hyakuzuki, a rogue ninja from Sunagakure.

"They actually managed to evade my puppet ninja squad. They're quite capable."

In a dilapidated corner of the city, Minato Namikaze, Shiki Aburame, Choza Akimichi, and Naruto Uzumaki were hiding, with Minato helping Naruto bandage his wounds.

"That's all right now."

"By the way, who are you guys, bro?"

"Naruto asked."

"I cannot answer that question," Minato Namikaze replied.

However, he still helped Naruto Uzumaki clear up his confusion, explaining that this place was Loulan.

"While we're completing our mission, could you leave this town? We can talk to you after we've finished our tasks."

Minato Namikaze stood up and said.
