Minato was just about to take action, but Naruto seemed eager to show off in front of his teacher. He moved first, swiftly jumping onto the wall and climbing up at extreme speed. He darted between buildings, quickly reaching midair, then leaped upward to catch the falling woman, bringing her to safety.
The others followed closely behind.
Naruto let out a sigh of relief and set the woman down, "That was really dangerous just now. Are you okay?"
Then, he recognized the woman. She was the same one he had seen singing when he first arrived in this world. He was immediately surprised and doubtful, "Aren't you...?"
However, before he could finish his sentence, the woman quickly slapped him a few times and punched him before swiftly stepping back, showing a hint of caution, "You insolent brat!"
Naruto was stunned and protested, "What the heck? I just saved you!"
The woman thought for a moment and only then realized belatedly that the person before her was indeed her savior. If he hadn't caught her when she fell, she would have been smashed to death.
For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed but still maintained her proud queenly demeanor, "Thank you."
Naruto continued to ask, "Are you the queen here?"
The woman nodded, "That's right. I am the Queen of Roran, Sara."
Naruto pointed at himself with his thumb and introduced himself with a grin, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, a ninja from Konoha. Someday, I'll become the Hokage!"
Just as they were about to continue talking, Minato stepped forward and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's move somewhere else."
After saying that, he quickly led the group away.
Sara was full of doubts, unable to understand why this group had come to Roran. But since they were her saviors, she followed them anyway.
Before long, they arrived at a hallway inside a Roran building.
Sara, seeing the quiet surroundings, could no longer suppress her curiosity, "Who exactly are you? This is Roran. Strangers are not welcome here, especially unknown ninja."
Minato smiled and explained, "Hello, we are all ninja from Konoha. We came here because we accepted a mission to ensure your safety."
Sara was stunned and responded indignantly, "I'm perfectly fine. I don't need any ninja to protect me."
Obito removed his mask and stepped forward, "Really? Then what just happened to you?"
Sara froze and involuntarily recalled the incident. The floor had suddenly collapsed beneath her, causing her to fall. But... she seemed to have been pushed from behind.
Obito's voice was filled with a mysterious allure, "You must have sensed it... someone wants you dead."
Sara instinctively flinched, then suddenly thought of who had been standing behind her, besides a few guards, there was only Anrokuzan. But Anrokuzan wouldn't harm her, would he? She shook her head.
"I just lost my balance. Anrokuzan is Roran's minister. How could he possibly harm me?"
Obito said coldly, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. How do you know what kind of person Anrokuzan really is?"
Sara instantly became furious and shouted at Obito, "Nonsense! You're just a kid, and Anrokuzan is an outstanding man. I won't allow you to slander him!"
For some reason, a scene suddenly surfaced in Obito's mind. He had once been reduced to nothing but ashes, yet as a soul, he had witnessed that very moment.
Naruto's eyes filled with murderous intent, ("I won't let you laugh at Obito!")
Then, he exploded with incredible speed. In an instant, he severed Kaguya's arm along with Black Zetsu…
Obito quickly shook his head and looked at Naruto before him, 'That scene… was seriously cool.'
Minato saw Sara losing her temper and immediately stepped forward, "Calm down, Queen Sara. We have investigated Anrokuzan and found that his real name is Mukade. He is a ninja who intends to use the power of the Dragon Vein to create a massive puppet army and overthrow the rule of the Five Great Nations."
Sara's face was full of disbelief as she argued, "Anrokuzan is Anrokuzan. He's not some Mukade! And besides, he's a good man. How could he possibly be using the Dragon Vein to create that so-called puppet army?"
Obito shook his head. A person's preconceived notions were like a mountain. To convince Sara, she would have to deny her past self.
But before seeing the truth with her own eyes, no one could easily do that, not Sara, not Madara, not even himself.
He spoke slowly, "Naruto, take Queen Sara to see the truth."
Naruto pouted, "You may look like a kid, but you sure act like a grown-up. Giving orders and everything."
Black lines appeared on Obito's forehead. Even though he had a great impression of Naruto, he still wanted to punch him right now. What was this nonsense?
Off to the side, Kakashi and Rin chuckled.
Kakashi said, "So, this is how idiots communicate with each other?"
At this moment, Sara had grown impatient, "I don't want to see any so-called truth. If you're really here to protect me, then I'm canceling the mission. Please leave, I don't need your protection!"
For a moment, everyone was at a loss. What were they supposed to do if their mission's target refused to cooperate?
Obito stepped forward, "Wait."
Sara turned around, "What now, little Konoha ninja?"
Obito's tone was filled with a serious authority, "Queen Sara, do you know who issued the mission to protect you?"
Sara was indeed curious and stopped to listen.
Obito said, "It was your mother's most loyal subordinate who issued it, representing her will. Even knowing this, do you still intend to refuse?"
Sara's pupils shrank violently, "Impossible… My mother… why would she issue such a mission?"
Obito's voice carried a mysterious allure, "Then think carefully, how did your mother die?"
Sara frowned, "She… wasn't it an accident?"
Obito sneered, "Are you sure it was really an accident? Before she died, she clearly told her subordinates that she had been assassinated. That's why she worried about you and wanted to protect you."
Sara froze in place. After a long silence, she walked up to Obito with a serious expression, "Tell me everything. How exactly did my mother die?"
Obito smiled and gestured toward Naruto, "Naruto, show the queen the truth."
Naruto's mouth dropped open. Obito was seriously impressive. Even though he looked like a kid, he had somehow managed to change Sara's mind in just a few words.
With that, he could only nod and agree.
Naruto looked at Sara and pointed toward the people still celebrating in the plaza at the base of the tower.
"Come with me and see those people. Once you look, you'll understand."
Sara followed Naruto's gaze, filled with confusion.
"The truth you speak of… is hidden among my people?"
