In Zhang Miao's view, everything in front of him was just an irrelevant dream. Perhaps it was because he had watched too much Naruto in the day that he had this kind of dream at night.
According to Zhang Miao's past experience, as long as he realized that it was a dream, as long as he wanted to, he would be able to wake up on his own soon.
Unfortunately, this method seemed to fail this time. Zhang Miao tried several times, but he still did not get out of this strange dream. Therefore, he could only take a step back and do the second-best thing. He raised his white and tender little palm and hit his own face.
"Slap!"
The voice was crisp and clear, and it immediately brought the dazed Sarutobi back to reality.
At this time, Hiruzen was in a very heavy mood. The attack of the Kyubi had given Konoha a great blow. Many excellent Ninjas, including his wife, Biwako, were sacrificed in this catastrophe.
Now, even the Fourth Hokage, Minato, and Kyubi's Jinchuriki, Kushina, were dead, which was a heavy blow to both his personal feelings and the entire Konoha.
At the same time, what Kushina said before she died made Sarutobi very puzzled. Minato said before he died that there was darkness in his older kid's heart?
What darkness could a newborn have in his heart? Wasn't this nonsense?
But now, Hiruzen didn't have much time to think about these things. Although the Kyubi was successfully sealed again, there were still many follow-up matters that needed to be dealt with, and he needed to resolve them quickly.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen immediately picked up Zhang Miao and Naruto and then talked to the ninja beside him.
"I will take these two babies back first, and I will leave the rest to you!"
"Yes, Sandaime-sama!"
After receiving a definite answer, Hiruzen nodded and then used the Body Flicker Jutsu to disappear instantly.
The moment he disappeared, there were bursts of exclamations on the battlefield.
"Ah... The body of the Fourth Hokage is gone! And the body of the Jinchuuriki is also gone!"
"They were here just now. Where did they go now? Is there another Ninja lurking around here? Go and report to the Third, and the rest of you, split up!"
"Roger!"
...
The news of Minato and Kushina's mysteriously disappearing bodies was quickly reported to Hiruzen. After hearing this, he frowned.
"In order to seal the Kyubi, Minato and Kushina had already set up a barrier around them. At that time, I didn't see anyone around."
As a Kage-level expert with the nickname "God of Shinobi", Hiruzen was confident that no one could hide under his eyes.
Moreover, all the Ninjas present were the Anbu, directly serving the Hokage. With their ability, it was obviously impossible to steal the bodies of Minato and Kushina under their nose.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen frowned and then turned his cold eyes to the Anbu, who was half kneeling in front of him.
"This matter ends here. There is no need to continue investigating!"
"Yes!"
For the Anbu, the order of the Hokage was absolute, so after hearing the words of Hiruzen, he immediately agreed and left the office.
After the Anbu left, Hiruzen picked up his pipe and took a deep breath, then exhaled a long smoke.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes amid the smoke.
"Is this work of Minato...?"
He, who was called a "The Professor", had never heard of any ninjutsu that would disappear together with the body, but the possibility of it being stolen was also very little. The only explanation was that it was stolen using space-time ninjutsu.
And the one who was most skilled in space-time ninjutsu was undoubtedly Minato, who was famously known as "The Yellow Flash".
If he left a delayed Flying Thunder God technique on himself and Kushina, then their bodies would suddenly disappear from the eyes of the Anbu, which was not difficult to explain.
"But why did Minato do this? What is the reason for this?"
Thinking of this, Hiruzen fell into deep thought.
While he was thinking hard, on the other side, Zhang Miao, who was lying on the big bed, was in a daze.
"So I wasn't dreaming but actually crossed to the World of Naruto?"
The reason why Zhang Miao came to this conclusion was because of the clear slap from before.
When the slap landed, Zhang Miao did not 'wake up' as he had expected. Instead, he felt a pain in his face.
At the same time, a strange voice sounded in his mind.
"Super valuable item found. Would you like to pick it up?"
After hearing this voice, Zhang Miao was stunned. For a moment, he did not know how to react. It was only when Hiruzen picked him up that strange voice rang out again.
"[Host has no response. The System picks it up... Ding! obtained Super Kage-level corpse(male) x1, obtained Elite Jonin corpse(female) x1. ]"
"..."
In the Naruto world, the corpses of the strong were indeed extremely valuable.
This was because not only could they obtain information about the dead ninjas, but they were also required to use certain forbidden jutsu such as Sasori's puppets and Orochimaru's Edo Tensei.
The stronger the corpse was when it was alive, the more valuable it would be. That was why every village would set up a special corpse processing unit in order to prevent the corpse of their ninjas from being used by other people.
Of course, Zhang Miao knew about this, but what surprised him was the thing that made the sound in his mind.
"System!?"
Zhang Miao liked to read online novels, so he was naturally very familiar with the "System".
Most importantly, he felt that it was already incredible that he could dream about the plot of Naruto. A super high-level thing like the System would never appear in his dreams!
Most importantly, while being carried by Hiruzen all the way back to the village, the cold wind blowing on his face told Zhang Miao that it was the real world.
"It seems that I really crossed over!"
As a character who had been in society for many years, Zhang Miao quickly accepted the fact that he had crossed over, and according to the current situation, his situation was not too bad.
First of all, according to Kushina, he should be in Konoha, and his identity should be the son of Minato and Kushina, the brother of Naruto.
And according to the previous situation, Minato seemed to intend to seal the Kyubi in his body, but later, he seemed to realize that there was some darkness in his heart, so he sealed the Kyubi on Naruto.
From this point of view, it should be true that he was Minato's own child.
As for what Minato said, Zhang Miao also agreed because only a child's heart would be pure and innocent. As an adult, Zhang Miao's situation in society was not smooth sailing. Zhang Miao himself did not believe that his heart was bright either.
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao could not help but admire Minato a little.
"He saw the darkness in my heart the first time we met. As expected of the famous Fourth Hokage in the Naruto World, or should I say, as expected of my father?!"
At this time, Zhang Miao suddenly had an idea. If Minato and Kushina didn't die, then he would be very happy on this trip.
Of course, this idea only flashed in his mind because Zhang Miao, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the Kyubi's attack on Konoha was just the beginning.
According to the plot, after about ten years, Orochimaru would launch the "Konoha Crush" plan, and then the Akatsuki would also attack Konoha.
After Nagato died, Obito and Kabuto would start the Fourth Shinobi War, and in the end, when Madara revived, he would use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to make everyone fall into eternal illusions.
Zhang Miao felt that with his own strength, even if he did not die in Orochimaru's attack, it would be difficult for him to survive when Nagato controlled Pain to attack Konoha.
Even if he managed to avoid the two great catastrophes, Zhang Miao didn't want to get hanged on a tree like Chinese Sausage when the Infinite Tsukuyomi finally came.
And if he wanted to avoid all of this, his greatest hope would be the System in his mind!
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao immediately anxiously asked his mind.
"System, what kind of function do you have?"
