Using the time Naruto mentioned, Asahi easily calculated the time difference from that moment. 

Therefore, he imposed a time limit on the sealing jutsu. As soon as the time passed, the sealing jutsu would automatically release.

Confident that the time he set was work, it meant that even if the sealing jutsu were released, it wouldn't affect the future.

Asahi believed that when Naruto and Yamato returned to the future, they would be in for a "surprise," wouldn't they?

Seeing Asahi's smile, both Naruto and Yamato had a bad feeling. They opened their mouths to say something, but it was already too late.

In the moment Naruto and Yamato were about to speak, they felt everything blur before them. It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like an instant.

-Konoha 66th Years-

When the two regained their senses, they found themselves surrounded by the familiar broken walls and endless desert. 

Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha were rushing towards them.

"Captain Yamato, Naruto, are you guys okay?"

Sakura anxiously inquired, and even Sasuke, without his original coldness, looked at Naruto and Yamato with concern. 

The incident just now, where the two were engulfed by the energy of the Dragon Vein, had startled them.

Of course, Sasuke would never admit to it. After all, he was a cold and proud (tsundere) person; how could he show such concern?

Hearing Sakura's worried words, Naruto and Yamato quickly reassured her. 

Then, they exchanged glances, confirming through eye contact and traces on their clothes that what had just happened was indeed real and not a dream.

Since it wasn't a dream, why did they still have their memories? Weren't their memories supposed to be sealed? 

Thinking about it, they both shook in horror. At this moment, even Naruto's brain was frantically working.

A bad guess appeared in their minds. At this moment, Naruto and Yamato both had somewhat stiff expressions. "It can't be, right? It shouldn't be."

They glanced at each other, speaking with bitter smiles. They thought they were just fooling around a bit, and there would be no consequences. 

They were truly naive, knowing that Asahi had a mischievous side and loved to play tricks.

Why did they foolishly walk into the trap? 

At this moment, Sakura and Sasuke, both looking confused, watched Naruto and Yamato. 

Had their minds gone haywire? Why couldn't they understand a word they were saying?

But it didn't matter; after all, the two of them were never quite normal. Glancing around, Sakura asked in confusion, "Hey, Captain Yamato, Naruto, where's Mukade?"

"Mukade is dead."

Naruto and Yamato both replied somewhat listlessly. Now, Mukade/Anrokuzan, and others didn't matter. 

What they cared about now was whether they could safely return to the village.

Thinking about this, the two directly lowered their heads and walked towards Konoha dejectedly. 

Dead? What about the bodies? Hearing the two's words and witnessing their strange behavior, Sakura looked utterly bewildered.

Even Sasuke, with a stoic face, showed a puzzled expression. 

Although the two were a bit abnormal on regular days, today was just too strange! 

Seeing the two walk further away, Sakura and Sasuke exchanged glances and quickly followed.

"Hey, Naruto, what's going on with you and Captain Yamato?" 

After catching up, Sakura and Sasuke couldn't help but ask. Naruto, with a mournful face, slowly began to explain.

Meanwhile, back in Konoha, Minato, Shisui, Yugito and Kakashi, among others, suddenly felt a shiver down their spines. 

Then, a rush of buried memories surfaced, changing the expressions on their faces.

Among them, Shisui, Yugito, and Kakashi had the ugliest expressions. 

At the same moment, they all looked towards the direction of Land of Wind. If everything was correct, their targets for revenge should be there.

Of course, Minato's expression was also quite colorful. Although his son might get a beating, he just chuckled at his son misfortuned.

As time passed, Team Yamato was approaching the range of Konoha. 

At this point, the four-person team had clearly divided into two groups: Naruto and Yamato, Sakura and Sasuke.

By now, Sakura and Sasuke had also learned about what had happened.

Comparing the situation, Sasuke, as a disciple of Shisui, wanted to beat up Naruto to help his mentor vent his anger.

However, Sasuke felt more sympathy towards Naruto. Of course, Sakura felt the same way. 

Why did they have to provoke them for no reason? Moreover, provoking two people at once.

Even Yamato, despite also offending Kakashi, seemed better off. Getting beaten up by one person was always better than getting beaten up by two. 

Although Sakura and Sasuke sympathized with Naruto and Yamato, asking them for help was impossible. 

Sakura and Sasuke have already distanced themselves from the two troublemakers.

In case they get involved and implicated, that would be so unjust! Naruto and Yamato, in their hearts, were vehemently complaining and condemning Sasuke and Sakura.

These two, they were just too ungrateful. So what if they offended these top figures in Konoha? Why be so afraid?

However, regardless of what Naruto and Yamato thought, they were about to reach Konoha. As the distance closed in, Naruto and Yamato's hearts began to beat wildly.

Finally, they stepped into the gates of Konoha. To their relief, it seemed like Shisui, Yugito, and Kakashi hadn't come to deal with them. 

Could it be that they were overly paranoid?

Thinking of this, Naruto and Yamato's hearts instantly eased. 

After all, even though Asahi had a bit of a mischievous side and liked to play tricks, he wouldn't harm his own apprentices.

Comforting themselves in their hearts, Naruto and Yamato were ready to report for their mission. 

However, before they could take a few steps, they heard a distant voice behind them.

"Naruto, and Yamato, where are you guys going again?"

At the sound of the voice, Naruto and Yamato's expressions stiffened. They were all too familiar with this voice. 

Turning around stiffly, Naruto, with his facial muscles frozen, said:

"Hehe, Master Shisui. Your speed is still as fast as ever."
