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

Chapter 575 Return

Then, he turned around and looked at the dragon vein:

"Alright, Naruto, Yamato, let's go."

Naruto was filled with reluctance. He slowly walked up to his father, Minato, and spoke to him in a low voice, as if he had many things on his mind to say.

Yamato, standing to the side, bowed respectfully to Minato and whispered his farewell.

At this moment, Minato spoke gently:

"Let me see you off one more time, Lord Qianyao."

Qianyao didn't pay much attention to Shuimen's good intentions. He simply stepped forward, picked up the sealed An Lushan, and walked straight towards the south of the city without looking back.

Along the way, Chiyo keenly sensed an exceptionally powerful and vast flow of chakra surging underground, thanks to Kagura's Mind's Eye.

Without a doubt, that is where the dragon vein is located.

Before long, Chiyo successfully led Minato and his group, including Naruto and Yamato, to a place that resembled an altar.

Upon arriving at their destination, Qianyao casually tossed An Lushan aside and then quickly began to carefully examine the seal before him.

Minato glanced at the seal briefly, but he already knew what it meant.

Although the seal here is not simple, with Qianyao's superb strength, breaking it is naturally a piece of cake.

Therefore, Minato wisely chose to remain silent and not say another word, so as not to interfere with Chiyo's actions.

He used this last bit of time to tell Naruto:

"Naruto, I'm going to use a sealing technique to seal away all your memories."

Naruto's eyes instantly filled with astonishment and confusion, but he did not interrupt his father.

"If I succeed in changing history, I will remove this seal for you once everything has settled down."

Then he added, "If your memory is unfortunately erased during this period, don't worry, I still have the memory orb left by Lord Qianyao to help you restore your memory."

Naruto stood there dumbfounded. This experience had dealt an unprecedented blow to his worldview, outlook on life, and values.

Even now, his mind is still in turmoil, with various thoughts intertwined, making it difficult for him to sort things out.

However, deep down, an instinctive emotion welled up in my heart—a deep reluctance to part with my father.

"dad……"

Naruto murmured, managing to utter only these two words, his eyes already slightly reddening.

Minato smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked Naruto's head, and said softly:

"Don't worry, child, we'll see each other again soon."

Naruto nodded vigorously, even though tears were welling up in his eyes.

But he still tried to appear strong and replied, "Mm."

Just then, Chiyo's voice called out from not far away: "We're leaving, Naruto!"

Qian Yao swiftly formed hand seals, and in an instant, countless Four Symbols sealing runes surged forth from his body like a tidal wave.

At the same time, An Lushan's body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling white light, so intense that it was almost impossible to look directly at him.

Immediately afterwards, the light scattered like shattered glass.

It spun around and plunged straight into the dragon vein underground, disappearing without a trace.

In that instant, Qian Yao suddenly reached out and crushed An Lushan to death.

At the same time, a dazzling white light suddenly shone from Naruto and Yamato's bodies.

Seeing this, Minato quickly formed hand seals, and countless Four Symbols sealing runes, shimmering with strange light, shot rapidly toward Naruto and Yamato's minds.

Naruto suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and his memories began to recede like a receding tide, becoming blurry and indistinct.

However, despite this, he still used his last bit of strength to shout:

"Dad! I'm waiting for you!"

Before the words were even finished, a bright light flashed, and Naruto and Yamato vanished without a trace.

Chiyo herself did not actually come here with Naruto.

To leave this place, he must rely on controlling the mysterious dragon vein.

At this moment, he stood there intently, his hands moving rapidly in a series of hand seals.

Runes continuously flowed from his body and accurately entered the dragon vein.

These runes guide the power of the dragon vein to be released slowly in an extremely gentle way.

The dragon vein, which was originally underground and exhibited an energy flow, began to rotate gradually due to the influence of the runes, and the rotation became faster and faster.

Over time, the energy within the dragon vein slowly solidified into a physical form, creating a massive vortex.

Immediately afterwards, a subtle but powerful vortex of energy quietly rose up and accurately wrapped around Qian Yao's body.

Qian Yao immediately closed his eyes, held his breath, and concentrated all his energy to carefully sense this dragon vein energy.

However, to his utter surprise, this dragon vein actually possessed an extremely simple consciousness.

Although it cannot express complete sentences as clearly as a human, Qianyao can clearly feel a joy emanating from within it.

Just as Qianyao was fully focused on communicating with the dragon vein, the originally quiet and dormant dragon vein began to slowly undulate.

Beneath the altar, a gigantic cavity extending vertically downwards for thousands of meters was clearly visible.

At this very moment, this vast and profound space has been completely filled and submerged by rich purple energy.

The purple energy surged towards the altar above like a surging tide.

At the same time, the power of the dragon vein was also fully activated and mobilized.

As the dragon vein rapidly spun and churned, a massive and magnificent purple vortex suddenly formed before Qian Yao's eyes, quickly enveloping and pulling him into it.

Just as he was about to be swallowed by the whirlpool, Qianyao suddenly turned around and gave Minato a deep look:

"This space-time is now in your hands."

After saying that, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Upon seeing this, Minato quickly bowed deeply to Chiyo and expressed his sincere gratitude:

"Thank you, Lord Qianyao!"

Qian Yao chuckled softly, but before the laughter subsided...

A deafening roar followed, and the dragon vein shattered the barrier of space and time, causing Qian Yao's figure to vanish without a trace.

Minato composed himself, quickly walked to the edge of the altar, looked down, and saw that the dragon vein here had disappeared.

Standing behind him, Choza Akimichi and Shimi Aburame exchanged a glance and asked in unison, "Minato, what are you planning to do next?"

Minato hesitated for a moment, then answered with a solemn expression:

"To prevent your unintentional actions from causing unpredictable impacts on history, I need to seal your memories."

Upon hearing this, Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shii nodded in agreement without hesitation:

"Alright, then let's do as you say, Minato."

Then, Minato formed hand seals, and mysterious and complex runes shot out from his fingertips, disappearing into the foreheads of Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiki.

Ding Zuo and Zhiwei had no objections; they had always intended to serve the emperor.

In any case, as long as Minato becomes the Fourth Hokage, it will bring huge benefits to their clan.

Whether or not memories are sealed is irrelevant.

Minato formed hand seals, and rings of sealing techniques flew into the minds of the two.

All memories of Uchiha Chiyo are fading.

Minato naturally knew that the two of them were planning to seek benefits for the family.

However, his plan was to relinquish the position of Fourth Hokage.
