Chakra Pipeline Construction and Key Points to Note"

Muzake and Kurotsuchi headed to the library.

Minato Namikaze touched his hair, questioning Jiraiya and Choza Akimichi, "Is it really that obvious?"

Both nodded.

Your hair is practically your signature, so unmistakable. A head full of sparkling blonde hair coupled with a flashy hairstyle. Even with a mask, we'd recognize you.

This left Minato speechless. His mask was practically useless. He wondered if he should dye his hair for future missions. Maybe black? Or perhaps red like his wife's? Or even change his hairstyle?

Jiraiya said, "Captain, shouldn't we be protecting the queen?"

Minato responded, "Let's go."

The trio vanished.

Kurotsuchi followed Muzake as they navigated the palace. This time, Muzake was smart about it. He used electromagnetic jutsu to turn invisible, bending all the light around himself and Kurotsuchi.

Kurotsuchi could no longer contain her curiosity about this mysterious organization as they walked. "Lord Kazekage, are you an investigator from Faust?"

Oh, the naive child took it seriously.

Muzake chuckled, "Haha, I just made that up."

Kurotsuchi, feeling played yet again, thought: You sounded so severe. I believed it!

Following the directions given by Minato, they quickly found the library. The defensive mechanisms inside were no challenge for Muzake. They quickly obtained the documents Muzake sought:

"Loulan City Construction Plans."

"Chakra Pipeline Construction and Key Points to Note."

"Clay and Ceramic Puppet Fabrication."

With these desired documents in hand, Kurotsuchi made an unexpected discovery. "Lord, this is so beautiful."

She pointed to a stunning sculpture in the corner of the library, shaped like a dragon and inlaid with gems. It was an item of great importance.

Muzake activated his electromagnetic vision to scan the interior of the sculpture. Inside, there was a scroll. Muzake took it out and saw it was a summary of the Loulan people's experiences controlling and utilizing the Dragon Veins.

Perfect.

Muzake praised Kurotsuchi, "Well done. This trip has been a complete success."

Kurotsuchi asked, "So, are we going back now? And how do we return?"

Muzake replied, "When the time comes, we'll naturally be able to return."

He led Kurotsuchi outside. "Now, we wait for a ride."

Muzake took Kurotsuchi to the square. As usual, the plot unfolded. A Lushan finally revealed his true nature—he was a Centipede from twenty years ago. He planned to control the queen, take over Loulan, and create an army of puppets to conquer the world.

Evil is ultimately defeated by justice.

However, unlike the original storyline, Naruto, after intensive training by Muzake, had achieved a perfect symbiosis with the Nine-Tails. His abilities far surpassed those in the original plot. An Lushan, even with many puppets and utilizing the Dragon Veins to form an immortal body, stood no chance against Naruto's Great Spiraling Sphere.

The touching scene of father and son teaming up to form the technique didn't even occur this time.

Centipede fell into the Dragon Veins, causing them to lose control.

Minato used his kunai to seal the Dragon Veins. He recognized Naruto through his familiar techniques but did not acknowledge him publicly to avoid altering history.

Minato prepared to erase their memories of this period. "I will use a technique to erase your memories of this time."

He looked at Naruto with gentle eyes. Feeling the warmth in Minato's gaze, Naruto protested, "How can you do this? You said you had something to tell me. It will be too late if you don't say it now."

Minato's gaze was unwavering. "You will hear it one day."

Meanwhile, Yamato took the opportunity to punch a young Kakashi, settling his scores.

The technique activated.

The seal formed a circle of the script.

Naruto's heart filled with longing. "Big brother, could it be you…"

Minato smiled, eyes narrowing, "If I ever have a son, I hope to raise him to be a ninja like you."

Naruto now knew who was before him. He closed his eyes.

Then, a temporal vortex appeared.

Naruto and Yamato, their memories of this period erased, were swept into the vortex.

Witnessing everything, Muzake and Kurotsuchi also stepped into the temporal vortex under the astonished gazes of Minato, Kakashi, and others.

Minato realized, "So Faust is from the future."

Naruto and Yamato emerged from the vortex, and the Dragon Veins sealed.

Sakura was overjoyed. In reality, they had only been gone a moment.

They had forgotten entirely their past actions.

As they prepared to leave, Muzake and Kurotsuchi appeared on the sealing platform. The power of space-time was too strong, rendering their invisibility useless.

Muzake and Kurotsuchi's appearance startled Naruto, Yamato, and Sakura.

Yamato blurted out in his excitement, "I took leave for this."

Muzake laughed, "Don't panic. As external technology experts, you are critical to our village."

"That's why I came personally to ensure your safety."

The trio were baffled. Is that so? Are we really that important?

With the documents he wanted secured, Muzake was in high spirits. "Let's head back to the village. I'll treat you to a big meal."

Naruto jumped up. "Yosh, I want fish noodles."

As for the mission, they could only report that Centipede had disappeared.
