Chapter 169 Minato, do you want to see what your grandchildren look like? [Second Update]
Kitahara Kaede knew very well that he was not originally part of the Naruto world; he was an outsider.
Even if he tries his best not to affect the plot, the butterfly effect he has created since the day he was born is enough to form a completely different parallel universe.
One continues along its original trajectory, while the other heads in a completely unknown direction.
When Kitahara Kaede came to this conclusion, he was quite shocked. This was a completely new possibility that he had never considered before.
It wasn't until he accidentally traveled back to more than ten years ago and met the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze in the ancient Loulan Kingdom that he finally confirmed his guess.
This also aligns with his previous shock and lack of understanding. For example, the most typical questions are why Kakashi Hatake would revive the Hatake sword technique and why Sasuke Uchiha would learn Chidori ahead of time.
This can now be used to explain everything: a completely new timeline that arose because of its own birth is enough to explain a lot.
"I see." Minato Namikaze nodded.
He has a high talent for space-time ninjutsu, so he also knows that space-time is a very obscure and difficult thing to understand, and has unimaginable wonders.
"So I'm not on the same timeline as you, so you don't need to worry about affecting my future," Kitahara Kaede said. "Besides, I know a lot of things, and I'll give you a free overview if you want to know anything."
Kitahara Kaede hasn't had enough of spoiling the plot yet, so she's taking advantage of this environment where she can freely complain without worrying about being affected to spoil it.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, unsure of what to say.
"For example, Jonin Namikaze, don't you want to know what your grandchildren's names are and what they look like?"
Kitahara Kaede glanced at Namikaze Minato and said.
"ah??"
Upon hearing this, the first person to freeze in shock was none other than Naruto Uzumaki.
He's only fifteen years old, he's still a child, he wouldn't think about such trivial things.
They've even gotten to the point of having children.
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze, who hadn't shown much interest in the future just moments before, suddenly became interested.
He certainly won't live to see his grandson's birth; if he could know beforehand, that would be wonderful.
Even if such advance knowledge is only temporary, the memory will be sealed away afterward.
That's better than not knowing at all.
Even Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiki became interested; who can resist gossip?
"Go ahead and say it," Minato Namikaze said, suppressing his excitement.
"I'll just show you with my transformation technique," Kitahara Kaede said. "Transform!"
In an instant, Kitahara Kaede transformed into a boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with short yellow hair, two whiskers on either side of his face, and a resemblance to Naruto Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze.
"This is Naruto's eldest son, Boruto Uzumaki."
Kitahara Kaede couldn't resist showing off a bit and said.
"He does look a lot like you, Minato," Akimichi Choza said.
Minato Namikaze couldn't help but nod; they really did look somewhat alike, but that was normal, given that they were from the same family.
"Transformation! This is Uzumaki Himawari!"
Kitahara Kaede transformed again, becoming a little girl who looked to be a few years old. However, this little girl had dark blue hair and two whisker lines on her face, just like Boruto Uzumaki.
However, to everyone's surprise, the whirlpool sunflower's eyes were not the deep blue eyes inherited from their family, but rather white eyes.
Those who have dealt with the Hyuga clan for many years know this all too well.
"Huh? Why is it Byakugan? Isn't it Sakura?"
Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed in shock. Although he was a beat slow to react, he wasn't stupid. He naturally knew that if his future wife was Sakura, it was impossible for them to have a daughter with Byakugan.
Minato Namikaze also looked at Kaede Kitahara in shock.
"Bang!"
Kitahara Kaede immediately reverted to his original form and said, "I never said your wife is Sakura."
"what!"
Naruto covered his head with his hands, unable to accept that the girl he had pursued for so many years had not ended up with him.
He didn't know whether his feelings for Sakura over the years were still genuine, or just a kind of obsession, or perhaps an inseparable blend of both.
"Is Sakura the girl you like?" Minato Namikaze couldn't help but ask.
"Uh-huh."
Naruto Uzumaki nodded repeatedly.
"Can I ask him who his future wife is?" Minato Namikaze asked.
Upon hearing this topic, even Sasha couldn't help but turn her head to look over, clearly quite interested.
"His future wife is Hinata Hyuga, the future head of the family, and the eldest daughter of Hiashi Hyuga." Kitahara Kaede also gave away the spoiler without any regard for the consequences.
As the saying goes, spoiling the plot is fun for a moment, and spoiling the plot all the time is even more fun!
"What?" Naruto was dumbfounded. He only had a vague impression of Hinata Hyuga, knowing that she was his classmate, but he didn't feel that they usually had any interaction.
How did she become his wife?
In fact, it's not just Hinata Hyuga; besides Sakura, Naruto Uzumaki also doesn't pay enough attention to other girls, which is quite in line with the romantic views of a typical male protagonist in a shonen manga.
"Don't worry about Sakura anymore. Sakura married Sasuke Uchiha and even has a daughter named Sarada Uchiha," Kitahara Kaede chuckled, speaking with a mischievous grin.
"what!"
Naruto Uzumaki looked devastated, feeling that his future was bleak and his life was completely over.
"It's alright, it's alright, you'll forget about it later anyway." Kitahara Kaede laughed heartily.
"Uchiha Sarada?" Namikaze Mizuki paused, taken aback. "Is Sasuke also Naruto's classmate? From the Uchiha clan?"
"Yes, yes, including your son Naruto Uzumaki, Shino Aburame, Choji Akimichi, and others, they are the best of Konoha's generation, known as the Konoha Twelve." Kitahara Kaede nodded and said.
Upon hearing that their son would be among the top twelve of Konoha's younger generation, both of them couldn't help but smile.
Even Minato Namikaze's gaze towards Kaede Kitahara carried a hint of goodwill.
The only one who was unhappy was probably Naruto Uzumaki, who was greatly disappointed.
How can I bear this? It's too uncomfortable.
I was so frustrated that I had no desire to continue the task.
Minato Namikaze could also see that Kitahara Kaede was simply happy to receive spoilers, but he didn't want to listen anymore. The more he knew, the more likely it would have a huge impact on the future, and he didn't want the effects to be so great that even a seal couldn't cover them up.
"We still need to continue with the mission. Now, let's find the anomaly in spacetime. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?" Minato Namikaze said.
"My name is Kitahara Kaede," Kitahara Kaede said.
Minato Namikaze and the other two looked thoughtful, but they couldn't recall any powerful ninja clan called the Kitahara clan.
Could it be another commoner ninja?
Minato Namikaze didn't discriminate against commoner ninjas; he himself was a commoner ninja.
"I do know about this spacetime anomaly. It was the Sand Village ninja, Hyakuza, whom Naruto and his friends were hunting, who used the power of the Dragon Vein to escape back to this era. He then disguised himself as An Lushan and lived in Loulan. Later, in order to seize the Dragon Vein of Loulan, he even killed Queen Sasha's mother." Kitahara Kaede didn't play any riddles and directly answered. "According to the history I know, you were the ones who ultimately defeated Hyakuza, resealed the power of the Dragon Vein, and then Naruto and Yamato returned to their own era."
"Captain Yamato?" Naruto exclaimed, his voice trembling with surprise. "He came along too?"
"Yes, but he should be outside the city right now, being taken care of by Kakashi," Kitahara Kaede said.
"I see," Minato Namikaze said, suddenly understanding. "In that case, let's hurry up and complete the mission."
"There's no rush," Kitahara Kaede said instead. "Anyway, no matter how long it takes to complete the mission, when we finally return to our respective timelines, it will only be a moment."
It's rare for you two, father and son, to meet in this time and space. Don't you want to say a few more words? Anyway, Centipede can't do anything evil for the time being.
His goal was nothing more than to use the power of the dragon veins to create a puppet army, and then use that puppet army to conquer the ninja world—a laughable joke indeed.
Kitahara Kaede had no idea that Centipede had any ambitions.
People like Baizu have too narrow a vision. For him, Kage level is already the limit, and Jonin level is already an extraordinary level. Therefore, he is confident that he can conquer the world with this puppet army.
However, he didn't know that the strength levels in the ninja world don't increase little by little; the difference between each level is enormous, especially after reaching the Kage level, one becomes utterly inhuman.
No matter how many puppet armies he has, it's useless; any one of the five great ninja villages would be enough to destroy his ambitions.
That's why Kitahara Kaede is usually quite low-key. The more he knows, the more he realizes how many monsters are lurking beneath the surface of the ninja world, far more complex than just the five great ninja villages that seem to dominate the world on the surface.
"Are they puppets made using dragon veins?" Minato Namikaze asked thoughtfully. No wonder the puppets he encountered today were all so outrageous.
Whether it's attack power, attack method, attack speed, or flight speed, it far surpasses the puppeteers of Sunagakure in his understanding.
Back then, Chiyo's ten-machine maneuver was enough to turn the tide of a local battle, and her grandson Sasori's one-hundred-machine maneuver was said to be able to directly slaughter a small country.
However, compared to the puppets controlled by Centipede, they were far inferior, as if they were technologies from completely different dimensions.
It's hard to believe that this is a puppet technique that originated from Sunagakure.
