Trees Chapter 274 The Yellow-Haired Delinquent Saves The World

Shukaku, whose size had also shrunk by two sizes, was only as tall as Naruto's waist. When Shukaku saw the yellow-haired man taking the whip

Shukaku, whose size had also shrunk by two sizes, was only as tall as Naruto's waist.

When Shukaku saw the yellow-haired man taking the whip from Kurama, he was almost scared to death.

He grabbed his phone and immediately started scrambling backward to escape.

But whether it was intentional or accidental, Gyuki extended his eight tentacles right into the tanuki’s path.

Shukaku tripped and fell flat on his face.

"Shukaku! Look at what you've done!!"

"Didn't you say that the seal would be safe?!"

"Then what the hell is going on with that Space-Time Rift?"

Crack…

Naruto's face darkened as he gripped the whip with both hands, giving it a sharp tug that produced a menacing snap.

Hearing the sound, Shukaku, who had fallen to the ground, was so scared that he trembled uncontrollably.

"You never said it was the Ryumyaku’s seal!!"

Shukaku just felt very wronged.

This yellow-haired guy had been all nice and polite when borrowing their Chakra earlier, but now that something went wrong, he was quick to pin the blame on him.

‘You are the one who didn't explain the matter clearly.’

‘Sealing this, sealing that...’

‘Whose seal breaking could cause such a catastrophe!?’

‘This is clearly bullying a Biju!’

"I refuse to accept this!"

Snap…

Naruto wasn’t about to indulge the tanuki’s defiance. He swung the whip, sending a shower of sand and stone flying from Shukaku’s body, making the tanuki yelp in pain.

"You still dare to complain?"

"Kurouma, Gyuki, let’s go!"

Naruto kicked Shukaku over, then began lashing it relentlessly with the whip, his movements so fast they left afterimages.

Kurama and Gyuki looked at each other. Seeing Shukaku take such a beating, they both felt somewhat conflicted.

But in order to minimize Shukaku's suffering, the two Biju only hesitated for half a second before picking up their whips and joined in.

Thus, the sealed space echoed with the sharp cracks of whips and Shukaku’s agonized wails.

"Naruto?"

"Naruto!"

When Minato saw Naruto standing there in a daze for a long time, he thought something had happened, so he grabbed his shoulders and shook him back and forth anxiously.

"I'm fine."

"Let's go back first."

Naruto’s consciousness came back to the real world, then he smiled slightly, called Sasuke and Sakura beside him, and planned to go back first.

But when Minato heard this, there was still a hint of worry on his face.

Because he felt that if the person behind the scenes was not found out, there might be problems with the Ryumyaku again in the future.

"Is it alright?"

"Shouldn't we be looking for..."

Naruto coughed awkwardly and patted his young father’s shoulder.

"No need."

"Sasuke and I can guarantee there’s no mastermind behind the scenes!"

Sasuke’s expression was extremely unnatural, and his eyes were a little vague when meeting Minato’s gaze.

"...Yeah."

After a while, he managed to squeeze out a single word under Naruto’s meaningful stare.

Sasuke felt a pang of guilt.

After hearing Minato’s explanation earlier...

He suddenly realized the Space-Time Rift might have been caused by him smashing the Ryumyaku’s seal with his Susanoo.

Meanwhile, Sakura and Mukade standing nearby were still blaming themselves for the explosion that triggered the whole mess.

"O...Okay."

Minato had a strange expression on his face, somewhat confused as to what Naruto meant.

However, based on the principle of trusting his own family, he didn’t press further.

Afterwards, the group combed through the battlefield twice more, collecting any useful loot left behind by the interdimensional monsters.

After making sure that there were no hidden dangers left, they regrouped and returned to Roran.

"Minato-sensei..."

"That guy... wouldn’t happen to be your..."

Kakashi’s dead-fish eyes flicked toward Naruto, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

"Shhh."

Minato grabbed Kakashi's head and gestured to him not to say anything.

"Alright, the mission’s over. Time to head back."

"But we’ll need your help with the memory sealing."

Minato looked in Sasuke's direction, obviously wanting him to seal their memories to prevent irreversible changes to the future.

When Sasuke saw that Minato's eyes, he did not move, but turned to look at Naruto, as if he would only take action with his good brother's permission.

"Well, let's do that."

Naruto looked at Minato's smiling face and felt the urge to tell him about the future.

But he held back, because doing so could lead to disastrous consequences.

"W-Wait!”

Just as everyone prepared to leave, the naive queen lifted up her skirt with both hands and ran towards them.

During the process, she stumbled several times due to the inconvenience of her dress.

"Minister Anrokuzan, Minister Haruno Sakura..."

"Are you... leaving already?"

Tears welled up in Sara's eyes as she gazed at her two loyal ministers with deep reluctance.

She rushed forward and threw herself at Sakura, hugged her tightly with both hands, then turned her head and glared at a certain yellow-haired guy.

"Can't you stay...?"

"Roran would be doomed without you..."

As Sara spoke, tears began streaming down her face, and her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at the yellow-haired man.

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged silent glances.

‘If Sakura-Bro and Mukade continue to stay here, not only will Roran Kingdom be doomed, but the whole world will be doomed.’

"It's alright."

"You've done well, Sara."

Sakura smiled and said a few words of comfort, then began to tell the young queen some things to be careful of, saying things like technology must continue to be promoted and so on.

Hearing this, Naruto quickly added his own warning.

"Listen, dummy queen, you better keep an eye on those eight seals!"

"Otherwise, the world will end."

He couldn't help but feel uneasy leaving such a critical task to someone so... unreliable.

But for now, this was the best they could do.

"Shut up!"

"Will you stop calling me 'dummy’, you yellow-haired jerk?"

Sara got angry when she heard the yellow-haired guy’s words, and she puffed up her cheeks and started to retort.

As a result, Minato, who also had yellow hair, was caught in the crossfire.

"F***! What wrong with having yellow hair?!"

"Yellow-haired guy just saved the world, you know?!"

When Naruto heard what the naive queen said, he was so angry that he took out his black stick and planned to scare her.

Sure enough, after seeing the yellow-haired guy take out the black stick, Sara was so scared that she quickly ran behind Sakura and peeked out at Naruto cautiously.

Remembering how violently he'd beaten up Kakashi earlier, she couldn't stop trembling.

"I-I'm not scared of you!"

"I-I will definitely take good care of the seals!"

"Stop looking down on me!"

When Sara saw that guy getting closer and closer to her, her words grew increasingly shaky.

When he finally loomed right in front of her, Sara immediately closed her eyes, as if ready to be beaten.

"Here, this is for you."

Naruto took out Aizen's Zanpakuto and handed it to Sara.

While he doesn't know why this thing didn't disappear with Aizen, it was far stronger than any weapon in the Shinobi World.

Since he had little use for it himself, he figured the naive queen might as well use it to guard the Space-Time Rift.

"Huh?"

"Th-This... for me?"

Sarah stared at the sword in front of her and was suddenly at a loss.

"The seals are in your hands now."

Naruto's serious expression made Sara’s face flush instantly.

"Hmph!"

"Even if you don't tell me, I will protect the seals well!"

She suddenly felt that the guy in front of her was not as annoying as she had imagined.

After taking the sword, Sara hung it around her waist.

But she didn’t think much of it. She just felt that she had an additional mission and didn't take the sword seriously at all.

Buzz…

After Sara took over the Kyoka Suigetsu, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others began glowing with a bright light.

Minato immediately realized that the time of separation had come and hurriedly shouted to the Uchiha boy.

"Quick, seal everyone's memories."

Sasuke, who was already prepared, shot a sharp glance at Minato's team, and the three of them fell to the ground unconscious at the same time.

However...

He actually misunderstood Minato's meaning and did not impose any seal on his group.

After a few seconds, the four figures turned into white light and disappeared on the spot, but Sasuke and Naruto's consciousness abruptly plunged into darkness.
