Chapter 146: The Influence of Appearance on the Plot [45]
Chapter 146: The Influence of Appearance on the Plot [45]
Noticing that Sara was caught by someone, Kakashi heaved a sigh of relief and landed on a nearby Takahashi.
Although he couldn't see the figure clearly, the speed of that action could only belong to Feng Ye.
Only now did Kakashi have the leisure to pay attention to the ninja opposite him, and he found that the ninja was wearing the forehead protector of Konoha—a ninja from his own village!
On the other side, the ninja with golden hair was Naruto, who had traveled from twenty years into the future due to a distortion in time caused by dragon vein energy. Seeing Sara being caught by someone else, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's a relief..."
But at the same time, his eyes narrowed slightly.
That speed.
So fast!
At this point in the timeline, Naruto had only mastered the incomplete Rasengan and had not yet achieved Sage Mode or gained the experience of defeating Pain. His strength had not yet reached the level of a Kage.
Of course, if he were to unleash the power of the Nine-Tails, it would be a different story. A complete Nine-Tails transformation would bring him to a level beyond that of a Kage, and if he were to further unleash the power of Asura's chakra and attract the attention of the Sage of Six Paths, even attaining a Six Paths level of power wouldn't be impossible.
However, in Feng Ye's opinion, Naruto's most fearsome ability was his Ninjutsu, the Talk no Jutsu.
Even a major boss like Nagato, who openly controlled the likes of Kakuzu, Deidara, and Sasori, was completely subdued by Talk no Jutsu. He even revived the enemies he had killed, making it even more useful than the Benevolent Goddess Writ!
Swish!!
Feng Ye landed on the corridor of a tall building.
The girl in his arms, having been scared out of her wits, closed her eyes. When she realized that she seemed to be unharmed, she cautiously opened them again.
"Ah..."
When she saw Feng Ye's face clearly, Sara froze for a moment, then, after a few seconds, reacted. Her cheeks reddened as she said, "Let... let me go."
Tsk!
Seeing Sara's state, Feng Ye couldn't help but click his tongue. In the original storyline, Naruto was supposed to get slapped twice here, but the reaction had changed so quickly just because of his appearance.
So, does the plot change drastically just because of one's looks?
Ai.
It seemed like another girl had taken a fancy to his body.
Perhaps he should start wearing a mask like Kakashi from now on.
"Th-thank you for saving me... Oh, right, who are you?"
After being put down, Sara seemed a little hesitant to make eye contact with Feng Ye. She averted her gaze slightly as she thanked him, then suddenly realized something and looked at him inquiringly.
Feng Ye looked at her and said, "I'm a ninja from Konoha. I heard that there was some trouble in this town, so I was sent here to investigate."
"Is that so..."
Sara nodded, about to say that there was nothing unusual about this place, when two figures flew over from a distance and landed beside them.
It was Kakashi and Naruto, who had just exchanged blows in mid-air.
Kakashi pointed his thumb at Naruto and said, "Big guy, this guy claims to be a ninja from Konoha, but I've never seen him before."
Naruto looked at Kakashi suspiciously. "I've never seen the two of you either. And what's going on here? Are you also on a mission?"
As soon as he said that, Kakashi's expression changed, and he immediately held a kunai to Naruto's neck. "You're not a ninja from Konoha!"
How could a ninja from Konoha not recognize Feng Ye?
Not just Konoha, but even among the ninjas of the Five Great Countries, there were probably very few who didn't know who Feng Ye was. Only those isolated ninjas who were not affiliated with any organization would likely not recognize him.
"What are you talking about... You two aren't Konoha ninjas either!" Naruto said, his eyes narrowing at the kunai by his neck.
Feng Ye shook his head at the scene before him. "Let him go, Kakashi. He is indeed a ninja from Konoha, just not from the 'present' Konoha."
"Huh?"
Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding what Feng Ye meant. However, he heeded Feng Ye's words and took two steps back, releasing Naruto.
"What's wrong?" Kakashi frowned at Naruto.
Feng Ye gestured to Kakashi to be quiet and then slowly said, "It seems the intelligence was correct. The dragon vein energy has indeed distorted spacetime. This guy is probably from the future... By the way, it's currently Leaf's 45th year."
"Leaf's... 45th year?" Naruto was confused by the first half of Feng Ye's statement, but his expression changed to one of astonishment when he heard the last part. "Isn't it the 64th year?"
Before Naruto could fully process the situation, Kakashi seemed to have figured it out. He looked at Naruto and asked, "What's your relationship with Kakashi?"
"Kakashi is my teacher..." Naruto replied, still a bit dazed.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi's expression fell, and he exclaimed, "Huh?! I'm your teacher? How could future me have such a dumb disciple like you?!"
In Kakashi's opinion, Naruto's lack of understanding of the situation was questionable, and he couldn't fathom how his future self could have taken on such a foolish disciple!
Naruto was completely bewildered by Kakashi's words.
It wasn't until Kakashi wearily explained things to him for a while that he finally grasped the situation. Then, he looked at Feng Ye in astonishment and asked, "Does Kakashi sensei have a brother? Why haven't I ever heard of him?"
"Hmm?" Kakashi was taken aback by Naruto's question.
Then, his expression changed slightly.
Logically, even if Naruto wasn't his disciple, he should have at least heard of Feng Ye. Could it be that something happened to Feng Ye, causing him to cease to exist in the world 20 years later?!
"Don't inquire further about the future, Kakashi," Feng Ye interrupted Kakashi's train of thought. "Knowing too much can cause significant changes to the timeline."
There were two possibilities as to why Naruto, from the future, hadn't heard of him. One was that he had disappeared before Naruto was born due to some event, causing Naruto to be unaware of his existence. However, this possibility wasn't very likely.
After all, even if he disappeared from the ninja world from this moment on, it would still be highly improbable for Naruto, 20 years later, to have never heard of his name.
The other, more probable possibility was that the future Naruto was from was a parallel spacetime created by the distortion of dragon vein energy, where everything was proceeding along a normal trajectory without his existence.
Feng Ye guessed that this was most likely the case.
The reason was simple.
The 'Phantom Clock' that was fused with his consciousness was unique; there were no second or third iterations. If time were to be likened to a ruler, then the Phantom Clock would be like a carving knife that existed outside the ruler, able to leave marks on it but not existing within the ruler itself.
There was only one such 'carving knife'.
This was Feng Ye's understanding of the Phantom Clock after all these years of being fused with it.
Naruto stood by, observing Kakashi, his expression becoming more and more unusual. Finally, he couldn't help but speak up, "A Kakashi sensei who's so young... Pfft... Hehehe..."
"Shut up, don't call me sensei, or you'll make me dumb too," Kakashi said, rolling his eyes.
After laughing for a while, Naruto came back to his senses and said, "By the way, let's continue working together from now on. That Hundred-Foot ninja is very dangerous, and you two might not be able to handle him at your current level."
Kakashi should be only about ten years old at this time, and his brother should be a little older, around the same age as Naruto, but he hadn't heard of his name, so he probably wasn't a jounin in the village.
Feng Ye was probably the strongest one here at the moment.
It was time for him to take the lead!
The thought of leading a team that included Kakashi and his brother on a mission made Naruto's blood boil with excitement!
