Namikaze Minato glanced at the potion Naruto handed him, then shifted his gaze toward Reiki. This man had thought of everything, even planning for this moment. Minato realized that he was likely the first user of this particular potion, aside from Reiki.
"Alright!" Minato said, accepting the potion. "If this is your mission, I won't stop you. But you must cooperate with me in the next battle."
"Understood," Naruto nodded, taking the potion as well.
As they consumed the potion, an unusual connection formed between them.
"This is a resonance potion," Naruto explained. "It creates a link between users, syncing our movements and abilities while the potion's effects last."
Minato's eyes glimmered with newfound determination. "Let's do this!"
With swift hand signs, Minato and Naruto activated their jutsu simultaneously.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" they shouted, and a wave of shadow clones surged forward, attacking the advancing puppets. Minato and Naruto continued forming seals in perfect synchronization.
"Sealing Technique: Golden Spiral Thousand Chains!" Minato announced as numerous golden chains burst from the ground, piercing and sealing the surrounding puppets. Naruto, caught up in the synchronization, struggled to remember the technique's elaborate name but pressed on, following Minato's lead.
"Is this kid really mastering sealing techniques now?" Minato thought, impressed by Naruto's progress. Reiki watched from a distance, analyzing the scene with a satisfied grin. He was probably the only one enjoying the battle from such a unique perspective.
Outside, Kakashi and his team faced their own challenges. After knocking Sara unconscious, the trio was discovered by Loulan Kingdom guards. Although they tried to explain, their words fell on deaf ears, leading to a standoff. In the confusion, they didn't realize Naruto had left his shadow clones outside.
Back in the heart of the battle, An Lushanzan [Centipede] grew increasingly desperate. The powerful sealing techniques posed a significant threat to his puppet army. With the combined efforts of Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shibi, the pressure mounted. If An Lushanzan [Centipede] couldn't end the fight soon, he knew his fate was sealed. Years of meticulous planning, traveling through time, and harnessing the dragon vein's power could not end here.
Determination surged through him as the jade stone on his chest emitted a fierce glow. An Lushanzan [Centipede] began merging with the giant puppet beneath him. Threads of white energy wove from his body into the metal frame, infusing it with life.
"Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Naruto! Behold my greatest creation!" An Lushanzan [Centipede] bellowed as the dragon vein's energy poured into him. The puppet, once rusty and lifeless, now gleamed with an imposing metallic luster.
"Is he overdrawing his life force?" Reiki muttered as he stood up. He hadn't anticipated that An Lushanzan [Centipede] would be aware of him or plan with him in mind. This realization changed everything. He needed to act based on the new circumstances.
Drawing his Murasame, Reiki felt his chakra solidify. The magatama in his possession radiated warmth, resonating with the dragon vein's energy.
"The energy of the dragon vein? Has the test for the Immortal Land begun?" Reiki thought, surprised. He noticed An Lushanzan [Centipede] seemed to be tapping into a similar power. If this was indeed related to the Immortal Land, it wasn't the first time An Lushanzan [Centipede] had attempted it.
"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!" Reiki declared, focusing the energy of the dragon vein into his sword. A vast barrier expanded around them.
"Minato, now!" Reiki shouted, teleporting Minato and Naruto above An Lushanzan [Centipede].
"Naruto!" Minato called out, extending his hand.
"Got it!" Naruto responded, clasping his father's hand. Together, they formed a colossal Rasengan, enhanced by Reiki's potion, its power beyond their comprehension.
An Lushanzan [Centipede] laughed maniacally. "You think that will defeat me? I am the master of the dragon vein's power! Now, witness the power that instills true despair—"
Before he could finish, Reiki slashed with Murasame, separating An Lushanzan [Centipede] from the puppet beneath him in one swift motion.
"Wha—" An Lushanzan's words were cut short.
"Boom!"
"No… I can't… this isn't possible!" he cried out as the combined Rasengan from Minato and Naruto engulfed him. Reiki acted swiftly, seizing the jade stone from An Lushanzan's chest just before the attack consumed him.
As the echoes of the battle faded, Reiki stood with both jade stones in his hands, the energy coursing through him intensely. The space-time channel began to open.
"Are you... going back?" Minato asked Naruto, a soft smile on his face.
"Yeah," Naruto replied, eyes glistening. "We'll see each other again soon..."
"Goodbye!" Naruto said, leaping into the space-time tunnel and disappearing into the future.
