Naruto: Starting With Creating A Genius Persona

Chapter 482 - 661: In The Future, Even Shinichi Had... Died?

A fierce battle that should originally have ended in bloodshed quietly came to an end beneath the night sky just like that.

Seeing this, Sakura Haruno secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did her tightly clenched fist slowly relax.

It seems that this Pakura is a very important figure in history.

Minato took in everything that had just happened while thinking to himself.

Judging from the girl’s actions just now, she clearly had no desire whatsoever to clash with Pakura.

And it was probably not simply because she was afraid of affecting history.

Minato could even see the genuine respect this girl held for Pakura herself.

Naruto had nearly been killed by Pakura just moments ago, yet there was not the slightest trace of killing intent on him now either. He merely stood there scratching his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

Clearly, Pakura was someone in their future whom they deeply respected.

Thinking back to the few things Naruto had blurted out earlier, Pakura would become Kazekage, the Village Hidden in the Sand would become Konoha’s ally, and so on.

Then it seemed that after Pakura rose to power, she must have established an extremely deep bond with Konoha during those future years.

Only then could it explain why these two Konoha ninjas from the future simultaneously held such respect for her.

Thinking of this, Minato once again felt deeply regretful; why did his mind have to work so quickly?

In such a short moment, he had already guessed roughly seventy to eighty percent of the history of the future.

He could only find a way to seal away this memory afterward. After all, some things were not things he should know at this point in time.

In the end, Minato still made up his mind to seal away everything he had learned today completely, even though he had already vaguely guessed that, in that future, he would die, and even Kushina would die...

At this thought, Minato’s heart sank; he had always felt that there was nothing wrong with his own death, but Kushina...

Perhaps this was precisely why his future self had chosen to seal Kushina’s chakra consciousness deep within Naruto.

Because he had already seen Naruto after he grew up, while Kushina had not...

No one knew how many thoughts had flashed through Minato’s mind in that brief instant.

Meanwhile, Naruto still wore a puzzled expression, completely unable to figure out what had happened. His mind was filled with questions, but Sakura would not let him speak, so he could only keep all his questions bottled up inside.

"Minato!"

Just then, the group from Konoha finally arrived, with Hiashi Hyuga being the first to reach them.

After landing, his gaze swiftly swept across the entire scene.

Although two unfamiliar figures wearing Konoha forehead protectors were standing beside Minato, Hiashi Hyuga acted as though he had not seen them at all and walked directly up to Minato. "What is the situation?"

"The situation is extremely complicated."

Minato replied somewhat bitterly.

Hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Naruto and Sakura beside him without saying anything. He then exchanged a glance with Minato, and the two nodded knowingly at each other.

Seeing the expressions of the two men, Sakura Haruno could not help but inwardly cover her forehead and sigh.

It’s over. Another party has discovered their origins, and this person is Hinata’s father, at that.

Just then, Naruto, who was standing nearby, suddenly widened his eyes as though he had discovered a new continent. Pointing at a white-haired boy among the group from Konoha, he stammered, "Sakura! It’s Kakashi... sensei..."

Although Kakashi was wearing a mask at this time, covering his entire face completely rather than merely wearing the half-face mask that Sakura remembered him wearing, that familiar hair color and hairstyle, as well as the chakra fluctuations that were more familiar than anything else, could not possibly be mistaken.

That was Kakashi-sensei! But why was Kakashi-sensei here? And why had he become so small?

Was it a Transformation Jutsu?

At this moment, the slow-witted Naruto Uzumaki still had not realized the fact that he had already traveled through time and returned to the past.

"Enough! I know!"

Sakura was helpless and once again forcibly cut Naruto off, turning her head toward him and earnestly instructing him: "Naruto, I know you have a lot of questions in your mind right now. I’ll explain everything to you in detail later, but for now, remember this: no matter what happens, you are not allowed to say another word! Listen to my instructions at all times, understand?"

"Oh... All right." Naruto pouted and answered softly.

"Captain."

"Sensei."

By this point, everyone from Konoha had arrived at the scene.

While greeting Minato, all of them unconsciously glanced toward the two unfamiliar figures beside him who wore Konoha forehead protectors despite never having been seen before.

One was a blond boy who looked as though he were desperately holding back a mouthful of words, scratching his head in confusion, while the other was a pink-haired girl who appeared calm on the surface but was actually tense from head to toe.

"These two are..."

Minato followed everyone’s gazes and looked over. He opened his mouth, originally intending to come up with a plausible explanation to introduce them, but when the words reached his lips, he felt that no matter how he explained it, he would only make things more suspicious, so he simply abandoned the idea.

"Forget it. It’s inconvenient to explain their identities right now. You only need to know that the two of them are also Konoha ninjas and can be trusted. That’s enough."

Hearing this, all the Konoha ninjas nodded. Although they were curious in their hearts, seeing that Minato had put it that way, they had no intention of continuing to ask questions.

Seeing this, Minato breathed a slight sigh of relief, and his expression immediately became solemn again.

"In any case, the situation is extremely complicated. This place is not suitable for us to stay for long. Someone has already noticed us, so let’s leave this place first. Once we find somewhere safe, I’ll immediately report the situation here to Shinichi and leave the decision to him."

Time travel!

Something like this was completely beyond the scope of what he could handle. He admitted that he did not possess the wisdom or ability to deal with something so bizarre; it was better to leave it to Shinichi.

Minato believed that with that young man’s intelligence, he would certainly be able to find the most appropriate solution.

"Senior!"

After saying this, Minato was preparing to take the lead in leaving, but at that moment, a trembling voice filled with excitement and delight suddenly rang out.

Sakura Haruno stepped forward, and her emerald-green eyes seemed to have been ignited by some kind of flame, sparkling as she gazed at Minato and spoke impatiently: "The Shinichi you mentioned, is he that famous Shinichi Higashino who founded the Ninja Way Origins Research Society?"

As soon as these words came out, all the Konoha ninjas present were utterly bewildered. As Konoha ninjas, how could she possibly ask such a question? Who in Konoha did not know the name of Shinichi Higashino?

Yet this unfamiliar Konoha comrade had asked about him in a tone that sounded as though she were trying to confirm a legendary figure, which was rather strange.

Hiashi Hyuga and Minato, however, felt their hearts sink at the same time, especially Minato.

Her world was the future, so she should not have asked about Shinichi in such a tone.

Unless, in the future, Shinichi had already... In other words, in the future, even Shinichi had... Died?

At this thought, Minato’s heart instantly plummeted into the abyss.
