Chapter 96 Reasonable and Legal (Ch 96)

After listening, Yue Yan touched his chin as if he was thinking.

“You mean, you two came to Loulan because of a pursuit mission.”

“Yes.”

“Although what you said makes sense and sounds like the truth, I still can’t believe you. What is your ninja number?”

“What do you mean it sounds like the truth? What we said is obviously true, and…”

Naruto complained and turned to look at Yamato in confusion.

“Captain Yamato, when did we get such a thing as ninja numbers?”

Naruto’s question confused Yamato.

“When you graduated from the Ninja Academy, didn’t you look at your ID? It had your ninja number on it.”

Hearing this, Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Um, I’ve never seen it.”

Yamato sighed, not wanting to pay attention to Naruto for the time being, and turned to look at Yue Yan.

“My ninja number is 010992. I used to be a member of the Anbu and I am currently the leading jonin.”

After saying this, Yamato noticed that Yue Yan was looking at him as if he was a fool.

“Any questions?”

“This is a big problem. Konoha’s number is now over 8,000. You told me your number is over 10,000. Do you think I will reply? Even the Third Hokage won’t believe it.”

“Wait, what did you say?”

Yamato realized something. Since the Third Hokage had died a long time ago, and Yue Yan said that the current ninja number was only around 8,000, did that mean…hiss…

Yamato discovered the blind spot.

“Who is the current Hokage?”

“Sarutobi Hiruzen, what else?”

After confirming his inner thoughts, his expression became strange, and then he spoke out his guess.

“When we were on a mission before, we were enveloped by the energy of the dragon vein. When we opened our eyes again, we came here, and the Hokage at that time had already reached the fifth generation.”

Although it was the result of Yue Yan’s deliberate guidance, he still wanted to say that it was so obvious, but he only realized it now. Yamato’s IQ is a bit worrying.

Even though he was complaining in his heart, Yue Yan still had to continue acting and confirm certain things at the same time.

“You mean, you traveled back to the past because of the dragon vein going berserk, which is now the time period.”

“Yes.”

Yamato nodded to confirm Yue Yan’s statement.

“Okay, I’ll trust you for now. I’ll tell you your story again after I meet up with my teammates.”

Afterwards, seeing that the meeting time was approaching, Yue Yan took Naruto, Yamato and others to the meeting place.

“Since you are from the future, can you tell me about the future?”

“I’m sorry, but considering the impact that changing the past will have on the future, I can’t tell you.”

“Okay.” Seeing Yamato insisted, Yue Yan changed the subject.

“Have you ever heard of the Thunder Beast?”

“Thunder beast? What is that? Is it a powerful beast?”

Noticing Naruto’s confused expression, Yue Yan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. Considering Naruto’s brain capacity, he looked at Yamato, intending to confirm it one last time.

“Do you know about Thunder Beast?”

Hearing this, Yamato shook his head.

“I don’t know what a thunder beast is. Is it important?”

“It’s all right.”

Yue Yan touched his chin and thought. Yamato was also an Anbu after all. If they came from the future timeline, it was impossible for them not to have heard of him. Therefore, it could be confirmed that they were from a parallel world, which made Yue Yan sigh.

It seems like my future self won’t come to deliver melons to me. I’m a little disappointed.

When they arrived at the gathering place, Minato and the others had arrived very early.

Noticing Naruto and Yamato behind Yue Yan, Minato couldn’t help but frown under his mask.

“Yue Yan, who are they?”

Hearing this, Yue Yan and Minato explained.

And after learning from Yamato that he didn’t know about the Thunder Beasts, Minato immediately confirmed that they were from a parallel world, and at the same time, he also said it out.

“You mean, we didn’t go back to the past, but were sent to another world by the dragon vein?”

“Yes.” Minato nodded and pointed at Yue Yan. “He is the Thunder Beast, and he is already very famous in the ninja world, but you have never heard of him, so I am sure that you are from a parallel world.”

“I see.” Yamato obviously agreed with Minato’s statement. “As expected of a dragon vein, it can actually do such a thing.”

On the side, Naruto, who had been a little confused since the beginning, finally couldn’t help but ask.

“What is a parallel world?”

“Parallel worlds are two worlds that are similar but different in details.”

“Uh… I still don’t understand.”

Minato sighed as he watched Naruto scratch his head and smirk.

Yue Yan explained.

“It roughly means that the past you are in now is not the real past, but your future.”

Hearing this, Naruto blinked his eyes in confusion. This time he really didn’t understand.

In response, Minato, who didn’t want to continue this topic, interrupted.

“Since you also have tasks to do, we won’t bother you anymore.”

After that, Minato used Flying Thunder God to take Yue Yan and the others away and moved to another place. Obviously, Minato didn’t want Naruto and Yamato to participate in this mission.

“Everyone, please tell us what information you have found.”

As Minato spoke, Yue Yan, Ding Zuo and Zhiwei began to talk about what they had investigated.

Zhiwei used bugs to find a puppet-making arsenal under Loulan, as well as the people who were enslaved and working there. Ding Zuo, because he was not a perceptive ninja, only found those who participated in the celebration, who were just puppets.

Minato, on the other hand, noticed some women gathered underground, seemingly plotting something, but since he had no contact with them, he didn’t know what they were plotting specifically.

After everyone finished speaking, they looked at Yue Yan.

Seeing this, Yue Yan shrugged and began to tell the story.

“I found the queen of Loulan, a little girl named Sarah. From her words and actions, I can tell that she is just an innocent girl. Therefore, I think she is unaware of what happened in Loulan.”

Hearing this, Minato lowered his eyebrows in thought, and seeing this, Yue Yan chuckled.

“Brother Minato, you can’t stand seeing the people here being enslaved, right?”

“As long as those puppets are not used in the war against Konoha, we cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.” Minato hesitated, but still spoke.

Seeing this, Yue Yan shrugged.

“I learned earlier that someone is going to attack Sarah during the celebration tomorrow. In this way, we are not interfering in internal affairs, right? We are just temporarily assigned the task of protecting the Queen of Loulan and eliminating the traitors.”

After saying that, Yue Yan clapped his hands.

“It’s reasonable and legal.”

Minato is a kind person and he really doesn’t want to see anyone being enslaved, but he is also a ninja and needs to put his mission and teammates first. Even though he really wants to save those people, he still has to ask the other two for their opinions.

Noticing Minato’s gaze, Choza and Shiwei shrugged in unison, indicating that they were both fine.

Seeing this, Minato also smiled.
