Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 45 A Gift from the Future

Even though he was only facing a wooden clone, Kyosuke felt the pressure during the battle and had to go all out.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Kyosuke created two shadow clones. One went up to fight Yamato, while the other shadow clone used ninjutsu simultaneously with the original.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

That's right, it's still the same tactic used against Uchiha Shu: using a massive amount of chakra to wear down the enemy.

The method doesn't have to be new, as long as it works.

Hurricane and flames instantly ignited a large area. Yamato, entangled by the shadow clones, had no chance to dodge and could only kick away the shadow clone in front of him and press his hands to the ground.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The ground shattered, and a section of earthen wall emerged from the ground, towering in front of Yamato and blocking the flames. The wind and flames raced along both sides of the earthen wall.

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing that Yamato's wooden clone was obscured, Kyosuke and his two shadow clones coordinated their attacks and rushed forward from different directions.

Yamato looked up and saw Kyosuke rushing over from above and to the left. He immediately stretched out his hands and thrust out sharp wooden spears from his palms, shattering the two shadow clones.

"Spiral pills!"

Using his shadow clones as cover, Kyosuke launched a sneak attack on Yamato from behind, and the Rasengan struck Yamato directly, turning him into a lump of rotten wood.

"How do you know the Rasengan?!"

Kyosuke heard a sound behind him and was startled. He immediately stepped back and turned to face Yamato.

Yamato stood still without attacking, while Kakashi was entangled in a clump of trees and became Yamato's prisoner.

Kyosuke felt it was time to reveal his identity and replied, "Of course, it was my teacher who taught me."

Hehe, I've made it so obvious, Yamato, you should have realized it by now.

Filled with doubt, Yamato walked up to Kakashi and, amidst Kakashi's futile struggles, removed the mask from Kakashi's face, exclaiming in great surprise, "Kakashi!"

Kakashi looked at Yamato: "You know me? You're really a Konoha ninja?!"

In an instant, Yamato understood the cause and effect of the matter, knowing that he might have returned to the past, to Kakashi's childhood, because of the Dragon Vein.

Kyosuke deliberately breathed a sigh of relief and asked knowingly, "So you're one of us. We're here on a mission. Do you have a mission too?"

Yamato didn't know how to explain it either, and felt it was better to keep the fact that he had traveled through time a secret. He just nodded and said, "That's right, I'm also on a mission."

"That's great! What's your mission? We can work together."

"We are hunting down Centipede, a rogue ninja from Sand Village, who is extremely powerful."

"You? Do you have companions? Perfect, we have other companions too."

"Yes, I also have a blond companion."

Kyosuke and Yamato chatted, completely ignoring Kakashi. Kakashi couldn't help but remind them, "Hey, let me go!"

However, Kyosuke and Yamato both chose to ignore it.

Since Sakumo Hatake's death, although Kakashi's personality has improved a lot compared to the anime thanks to Kyosuke and Guy's sincere companionship, he has still become a workaholic, spending all his time completing missions.

Most importantly, after Kakashi made money, he never treated Kyosuke to a meal. Kyosuke failed to get a free meal several times and felt very unhappy, thinking that Kakashi should suffer a bit.

Yamato and Kakashi became friends after a fight, but Yamato was no match for Kakashi and often got beaten up. Now that he saw Kakashi as a child, he wanted to bully him back and make him suffer, which would be a way of getting revenge.

"Alright, the commotion in the city has subsided. Let's go take a look."

In the end, Yamato was soft-hearted and worried about Naruto's safety, so he took the initiative to end the conversation that was torturing Kakashi. Otherwise, given Kyosuke's enthusiasm, they would have talked for at least a day and a night.

Naruto and Minato Namikaze are in the city, one is the protagonist and the other is the protagonist's father, what danger could there be?

Unexpectedly, Kyosuke was quickly proven wrong.

Upon entering the city, the three learned that Naruto Uzumaki had been captured by Centipede, who demanded that the Konoha ninjas hand over Sara, or he would execute Naruto in the plaza.

Oh dear, is my butterfly wing going to slap Naruto to death?

Kyosuke was surprised, while Yamato was very anxious and immediately rushed to the square.

At this moment, Naruto was hanging from the balcony in the square, surrounded by a group of puppets. Yamato immediately attacked, and Kyosuke and Kakashi could not stop him and could only follow him to fight the puppets.

The puppets were powerful and numerous, making the battle chaotic. Soon, the three separated and began fighting on their own.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Spiral pills!"

Kyosuke had plenty of chakra and quickly defeated several puppets. Just as he was about to support Kakashi and the others, a deep hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and a giant centipede puppet rushed up, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed Kyosuke whole.

"Oh no! It's a centipede!"

Kyosuke was swallowed and saw a middle-aged ninja. He was startled, knowing that the other party must be the boss. Fighting here would be very disadvantageous, so he formed hand seals, preparing to open a gap and rush out of the centipede puppet's body. However, he found that the enemy did not attack, but instead said something that surprised Kyosuke.

"Moshi moshi, is that Kyosuke? I'm you from the future, don't be afraid."

"what?"

Kyosuke was very surprised. Seeing that there was no immediate danger, he slowly approached Hyakutsu, only to find that Hyakutsu had his eyes closed and was standing motionless. Only a familiar voice came from Hyakutsu's body.

"I don't know if this world is the past or a parallel universe, but it doesn't matter. I will only appear when I meet Kyosuke."

Kyosuke tapped the centipede's chest and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want with me?"

"I am you from the future. To be precise, I am a part of your mind from the future. I was implanted into the body of the centipede by you from the future and came here to give you a gift."

Hearing that there would be a gift, Kyosuke's interest rose: "Oh, it seems I'm going to have a good future. What kind of gift will I get this time, the Rinnegan or the power of the Six Paths?"

"I have no memories of your future, and I don't know what your future holds. Perhaps your future self didn't leave me with these memories for fear of affecting your growth. As for the gift, I don't know either; you'll have to see for yourself."

In an instant, a beam of light appeared on Centipede's chest and shot directly into Kyosuke's brain, which shocked and enraged Kyosuke.

He wasn't going to easily believe the mysterious voice and remained vigilant. He had only tried to extract more information, but he hadn't expected to fall into their trap.

Fortunately, the light did not harm Kyosuke, but rather brought him a sense of enlightenment, which allowed Kyosuke to relax.

This is a reflection on cultivating immortal arts. Although it cannot help Kyosuke directly master immortal arts, it can make Kyosuke more proficient in cultivating immortal arts and eliminate the risk of failure.

Could it be that the other person really is me from the future?

Why send this insight? Is it a reminder that I must pay attention to magic?

"The gift has been delivered, and I'm about to dissipate. Be careful, the centipede will awaken soon and attack you... Good luck... past me... You're the coolest..."

What was supposed to be a touching scene was marred by insistence on saying who was the most handsome, leaving Kyosuke both amused and exasperated.

"Okay, this should be the future me, just like me, I love to tell the truth."
