Kawasaki smiled knowingly as he watched Naruto still acting clumsy; he probably inherited that personality from Kushina.
Kawasaki grabbed a few tissues and wiped Naruto's mouth: "Eat slowly, talk slowly."
Naruto took the tissue a little shyly, letting out a silly laugh: "I was just eager to respond to Kawasaki-senpai's words."
Seeing that there were many people around, and that Naruto had already wiped his mouth clean, Kawasaki gently placed a hand on the top of Naruto's head.
Naruto's vision went black, and he found himself back in that familiar place.
Kawasaki looked around and saw that Naruto's inner world was no longer the same as before.
The once damp ground and the seemingly endless corridor have vanished, replaced by a vast grassland under blue skies and white clouds.
All of this directly reflects Naruto's mental state and health.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that distant and towering prison, which still connects the sky and the earth.
Kawasaki stomped his feet on the grass twice, and the texture was almost identical to that of real grass.
"Naruto, the ninja world may be in turmoil in the future, so I've decided to fulfill my promise ahead of schedule today."
Naruto was curiously looking around at the grassland when he was surprised when Kawasaki-senpai suddenly said he would fulfill his promise ahead of schedule.
"Really, Kawasaki-sensei?"
For the past few years, Naruto has been looking forward to the day he graduates from the Ninja Academy.
Because upon graduation, he will be able to uncover the mystery of his biological parents.
Every time Naruto escorted Sasuke home, he felt particularly envious of Sasuke having his parents by his side.
Fortunately, Uncle Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto were very kind to him, which brought him some comfort.
Kawasaki led Naruto toward the direction where Kurama was.
"Really, but just don't get scared later."
"Hey?"
Naruto looked bewildered as he followed Kawasaki to the Nine-Tails' cage.
Nine-Tails' fiery red eyes scrutinized Kawasaki.
"Kawasaki, you've gotten even better."
The Nine-Tails' voice was deafening, accompanied by scorching heat and powerful wind pressure.
Kawasaki shook his head: "You've gotten along fairly well with your landlord over the years, but you're just too cold-hearted."
In the past few years, Fugaku has served as Naruto's training supervisor. Although he doesn't understand sealing techniques, he can see that the Nine-Tails' chakra has not affected Naruto over the years.
Although Naruto and Kurama haven't been able to communicate frequently, at least Kurama hasn't caused any more trouble.
"Nine-Tails! It's nice to see you again!"
Naruto wasn't afraid at all when he saw Kurama, after all, they were old acquaintances.
"Hmph, brat."
Kurama snorted and didn't want to pay any attention to Naruto.
Kawasaki ignored their interaction and instead shouted at the cage, "Minato Namikaze! Come out now!"
Kurama abruptly stood up, its eyes flashing with ferocity: "Where is the Fourth Hokage?!"
Naruto looked equally bewildered. "Kawasaki-senpai, were you just calling for the Fourth Hokage?"
Seeing that the fourth generation had not yet appeared, Kawasaki smirked: "If you don't come out soon, I'm going to break the seal."
After saying that, Kawasaki leaped into the air and stood on the huge "sealed" sticker, actually placing his hand on it.
"Forget it, Kawasaki..."
A gentle voice sounded in my ear...
At this moment, in Naruto's mental space.
With his gleaming blonde hair, sunny, handsome, and gentle appearance, he was the Fourth Hokage, draped in his Hokage robes.
She appeared wearing a green vest and a blue bodysuit underneath.
"Finally, Minato has decided to come out."
Kawasaki's expression was slightly mocking. Minato was really patient, insisting on breaking the seal himself before showing himself.
"Kawasaki, I shouldn't have come out now. My chakra can't last much longer."
When Naruto was suffering in his early years, the Fourth Hokage could see it all clearly inside Naruto's body.
Kawasaki's arrival was like a ray of light shining into Naruto's life, making Naruto's life better and better afterward.
Although Kawasaki and Minato only met a few times, Minato felt as if he had known Kawasaki for a long time and was full of gratitude towards him.
Kawasaki's Sharingan swirled, confirming that Minato's chakra was indeed insufficient and wouldn't last long.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry so much. I learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique from Orochimaru, and I've dug up your grave too."
"I'll resurrect you with Edo Tensei later, and you can see Naruto as long as you want."
The Nine-Tails roared angrily, "Fourth Generation! Roar!"
Kawasaki's Sharingan instantly transformed into a Mangekyou Sharingan, unleashing a surge of ocular power that instantly froze Kurama, rendering it unable to move.
"Sorry, Nine-Tails, I'll suppress you for now and let them catch up."
Kawasaki slapped the sealing door, and the same Four Symbols Sealing Technique spun out along the seal on the door, causing a rumbling sound inside the cage.
Countless prison gates descended from the sky, separating the Nine-Tailed Fox layer by layer, widening the distance between them.
"It's just a seal, I'll take care of that."
"The little chakra you left behind isn't very useful. Naruto has been an orphan for so long, why don't you hurry up and reunite with him?"
Minato Namikaze smiled wryly, not even angry when he heard that his grave had been dug up.
Besides, Kawasaki is right. With both sealing techniques and the Sharingan, the Nine-Tails is no problem at all.
Naruto was stunned. Hearing Kawasaki-senpai say that the Fourth Hokage was his father?
Kawasaki and Minato Namikaze landed together.
"Come here, Naruto, this is your late father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze."
Chapter 104 Kushina! Kawasaki's Impure World Reincarnation! The Reaper Death Seal! The Power of the Nine-Tails!
Naruto stood there, stunned, unable to believe it: "The Fourth Hokage is my father?"
Minato Namikaze looked at Naruto's incredulous expression with pity and said, "Yes, Naruto, I am your father."
Naruto suddenly burst into tears: "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why did you make me an orphan for so long? Why did you choose me as your Jinchūriki?"
Do you know how much I've suffered?
"Everyone treats me coldly. If it weren't for Kawasaki-senpai, I would still be all alone!"
Naruto was crying when Minato suddenly pulled him into his arms.
"I'm sorry, Naruto, you've really suffered a lot."
Naruto froze, then buried his face in the Fourth Hokage's arms and burst into tears.
"All I left you with were painful memories, but thankfully you've made many friends over the years and are no longer alone."
"As your father, I have no face to apologize to you."
Naruto gradually calmed down and wiped away his tears: "It's okay, it's all over now."
"Dad, why did you choose me to be a jinchūriki?"
After Naruto shed tears, he felt much better and naturally called out "Dad".
Minato opened his mouth as if to speak, but his figure began to blur: "Kawasaki, I'm counting on you..."
Naruto's hand went empty as Minato's figure vanished instantly.
"father!"
Naruto broke down in tears.
He had just met his father, but before they could exchange more than a few words, his father disappeared again.
cough cough.
Kawasaki coughed twice and said, "Why are you crying? We'll see each other again next time."
"I didn't expect Minato's chakra to only last for such a short while. He could have at least said a few more words. Really."
"what?"
A small bubble popped out of Naruto's nose, and his face was covered in tears, making him look particularly comical.
Will I ever see my father again?
Kawasaki rolled his eyes: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
Naruto stared wide-eyed, looking completely bewildered, and said, "But, didn't my dad already pass away?"
Kawasaki nodded firmly: "That's right, he's dead, but some advanced ninjutsu can bring the dead back to life for a short time."
Naruto looked on in disbelief: "There's actually such a technique?"
"This technique will damage the soul and cannot resurrect people for a long time, but if you only see him once every few months, it should be fine."
Naruto was deeply shocked by the news. It was unbelievable that he could see his deceased relatives only once every few months.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Kawasaki added from the side.
"Let me tell you why your father sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox inside you."
Naruto suppressed his sadness and thought about meeting his father again in the future. His sorrow dissipated considerably, and he became filled with curiosity about his own origins.
"You just met your father, Minato Namikaze, and your mother's name is Kushina Uzumaki. Your surname comes from your mother."
"Your mother also left chakra in your mind's world, so she can talk to you, but not for too long."
"I'll tell you everything I can now, and then I'll have Kushina come to see you later."
