The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 553 Right Beside You

One of the puppets, wielding a long sword, swung it fiercely at Naruto with lightning speed.

The blade gleamed coldly, aiming straight for Naruto's vital points.

Naruto reacted with extreme speed. In the face of death, he leaned back and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

However, before Naruto could catch his breath, the second puppet suddenly lit up with a dazzling light from its hands, and then a powerful energy wave, like a laser cannon, roared towards Naruto.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Naruto was startled and was about to use the Shadow Clone Technique to deal with it, but the opponent was too fast.

In an instant, countless kunai burst forth from the second puppet's hand like machine gun fire, dense as rain, covering the sky and the earth.

For a moment, Naruto found himself in an extremely passive situation.

Those kunai were extremely fast, leaving him no time to form hand seals and use ninjutsu. He could only rely on his agility to dodge left and right in the air.

However, due to the sheer number of kunai, his attempts to dodge were rather clumsy and awkward.

In his frantic escape, Naruto ran onto a long bridge without thinking.

But to everyone's surprise, just as they stepped onto the bridge, three more puppets appeared in front of them!

Without saying a word, the three puppets raised their arms and fired several incredibly powerful laser cannons at Naruto.

Naruto screamed in fright and frantically tried to dodge.

Fortunately, he was lucky and, after a series of thrilling maneuvers, managed to narrowly avoid these terrifying attacks.

At this moment, Chiyo floated quietly in the air, looking down at Naruto's every move.

This Naruto looks like the kind of person who doesn't like to study; he hasn't even mastered some basic rolling and dodging moves.

He hopped and jumped around on the ground for a long time, relying entirely on instinct to twist his body and dodge the attacks.

Whether or not one can successfully avoid it depends almost entirely on luck.

And so, Naruto was relentlessly pursued by the puppets, having already run through several streets.

Just when things were in danger, he suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered that he was still carrying the chakra blade that could cut chakra threads.

However, Naruto's movements were too flawed, and he was unfortunately surrounded and blocked by the puppets.

In an instant, dazzling chakra energy cannons shot towards Naruto like lightning, striking him directly.

With a loud bang, Naruto flew straight down to the lower level like a kite with a broken string.

With a dull thud, Naruto crashed heavily into the room on the lower level.

For a moment, he felt dizzy and his mind was in complete chaos, as if the world was spinning around him.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through his leg. He looked down and was startled.

—He saw a shockingly large gash on his leg, from which blood was gushing out.

"Oh no! This is a huge problem!"

Naruto secretly groaned in despair.

Just as he was at a loss, several dark figures flew into the room like ghosts; they were the puppets that had been relentlessly pursuing him.

Naruto was already at his limit, but he still gritted his teeth.

With great effort, he raised the chakra blade in his hand and swung it fiercely at the shuriken flying towards him.

However, outnumbered, Naruto gradually felt his strength waning.

Just as he was about to die, a mysterious figure appeared beside him like a ghost.

This person was wearing a bird-face mask and was incredibly agile. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed Naruto.

He used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to take him with him and disappeared from the spot.

The puppets left in the air suddenly lost their target. They looked around blankly and began to search for Naruto's whereabouts.

Just then, a tall and muscular man suddenly jumped out from the side.

He roared angrily:

"Partial Multiplication Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his arms instantly became incredibly thick.

Then, he swung his fist forcefully, the powerful force creating a gust of wind, and slammed it hard into one of the puppets.

The puppet couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying backward by the powerful punch, crashing to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, another figure leaped out from the side.

The man carried a large, round gourd on his back and muttered, "Ninja Art, Insect Ball!"

Before the words were finished, countless small black insects gushed out from the round gourd and surged towards the puppets like a tide.

These tiny insects swarmed everywhere, covering the sky and giving one the creeps.

The puppets were attacked by the sudden swarm of insects, and their joints were quickly destroyed.

The puppet was shattered in mid-air and fell to the ground.

Thank you!

Naruto thanked the person who had just saved his life with deep gratitude.

However, the person seemed not to hear him and did not react to Naruto's thanks.

His eyes were fixed on the figure standing in mid-air high above.

"Uchiha...?"

Naruto curiously followed the other person's gaze and soon spotted Chiyo's unique figure.

He couldn't help but wave his hands excitedly and shout, "Hey! Uncle, I'm here..."

In a flash, Qianyao appeared before Naruto like a ghost.

This incredible scene left Naruto speechless, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Where did you go?! You...you can fly?"

However, the mysterious masked man standing to the side appeared unusually wary.

He stared sharply at Qian Yao and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know him?"

Upon hearing this, Qianyao tilted his head slightly, looked at Minato with interest, and then said with a smile:

"Take off your mask and let me see what you looked like when you were young, Minato."

Upon hearing this, Minato was startled. This person could actually call out his name accurately?

"Who...who exactly are you?"

Chiyo didn't answer Minato's question directly, but turned to look at Naruto and said with a grin:

"I went to find your dad especially for you. And look, I've already found him."

Naruto has always been a bit of a scatterbrain, and his thoughts often jump around so much that it's hard to keep up.

Upon hearing Qian Yao's words, he immediately forgot all about Qian Yao's sudden disappearance and eagerly asked:

"Really?! That's great! Where is my dad?"

As he spoke, he looked around.

Seeing this, Qianyao smiled and gestured with his chin toward Naruto's side: "Look, he's right next to you."

"What!?" Naruto was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
