It's later revealed that Mukade travelled to the past six years before Naruto did and that, by this point, he's changed his name to Anrokuzan and serves as the minister of Rōran. After that, he gives Naruto his Flying Thunder God Kunai, telling him that it is a special kunai that will allow him to transport to Naruto's place if he uses it. Minato then tells Naruto the condition at Rōran, and tells him that he should be able to go back to his time after he defeats Mukade.

Minato simply replies that there is no point in making life less interesting by knowing things that they shouldn't. But Chōza disagrees, saying that as Naruto is from the future, it is possible that Minato is really the Fourth. Shibi tells Naruto it is impossible, as for now the ruling Hokage is still the Third. Seeing the circumstances, Minato and his team reveal themselves and that time Naruto remarks that Minato looks a lot like the Fourth Hokage. Minato scolds him for not keeping his promise, but Naruto tells him that he has no choice and tells him what has happened to him. Later, Naruto meets Minato again in the queen's palace. Naruto asks her whether there are people who are after her, the young queen immediately disagrees with it, saying that Naruto has seen for himself that the crowd was very happy to meet her.

Naruto rescues her and then they introduce themselves to each other after Sāra mistakes him as a bad guy. When she greets the excited crowd who is calling for her joyously, someone pushes her back, causing her to fall. Later, he realises that there is a festival going on and spots the young girl he previously encountered, now realising that she is the queen of Rōran, Sāra. Nevertheless when he is about to leave Rōran, Naruto remembers what happened before he lost his consciousness and decides to look for the others instead. He tells Naruto that he too is a Konoha ninja, opening a part of his mask to show the Konoha sign on his head protector, and tells him to leave the city. Naruto later comes into contact with a masked guy who rescues him from the puppet army. When Naruto awakens, he meets a mysterious young girl who immediately runs away upon seeing him. Hiruzen Sarutobi has heard of Anrokuzan's evil plans, and sends Minato Namikaze, Shibi Aburame, Chōza Akimichi, and upon Minato's request, Kakashi Hatake, to put an end to his plans. Then the young Shizune, Might Guy, Asuma Sarutobi, and Kakashi Hatake are seen waiting in a long line at the grand opening of Ramen Ichiraku. Minato Namikaze, twenty years prior to the present, is now seen at Konoha, and Jiraiya shows Minato that he has completed the Rasengan. Sakura attempts to follow them into the light, but Sai stops Sakura from getting sucked into the Ryūmyaku by catching her on his ink bird while she cries out Naruto's name. A light envelopes Naruto and Yamato, who were trying to stop Mukade. He unleashes the power of the Ryūmyaku, which is seen to have been sealed by Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai. Mukade's goal is revealed to be to travel to the past and take over the Five Great Shinobi Countries with the power of the Ryūmyaku, an ancient chakra flow hidden deep underground in Rōran. After bypassing his puppets, they corner the missing-nin. They set out for the once glorious historic ruins of Rōran, a city with once thousands of towers and is located in the middle of the desert. They all have Chakra Blades, which are used to attack. Yamato, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sai are assigned on a mission to capture Mukade, a missing-nin.
