Naruto: Learn the Substitution Jutsu and use it to create Star Platinum?

Naruto Uzumaki stared blankly at Minato, who seemed somewhat tense.

My vision gradually blurred, and two lines of tears slid down my reddened eyes.

In an instant, he thought of many things, and the pent-up grievances in his heart suddenly burst forth.

He thought of himself after school at the ninja academy, looking at other families who were all alone.

He thought of how he was insulted by the villagers, and how everyone wanted to beat him but he had no one to turn to.

I thought of him, barely surviving by rummaging through expired food in the refrigerator.

He thought of his son, who couldn't even picture his parents' faces in his dreams and could only guess at them.

How he longed to feel his parents' embrace, to hear their comforting words, to receive their praise, and to eat a meal cooked by them...

Even if he has none of these, just give him a picture of his parents... that would be enough.

But there was nothing.

Seeing Naruto begin to sob and tremble, Minato gently placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

He looked apologetic.

"Sorry, Naruto."

Regardless of what happens in the future, it is obvious that he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

Naruto raised his head, slowly unzipped his pants, revealing the sealing technique on his stomach.

"Nine-Tails, was it you who sealed it within me?"

Minato, seeing the familiar sealing technique on Naruto's stomach, immediately realized it was his doing.

nodded.

"Yes."

Naruto slapped Minato's hand off his shoulder.

Thinking about my childhood, feelings of grievance and confusion welled up inside me.

boom!

With Naruto's powerful punch, even without chakra, it was definitely not a pleasant experience.

Minato's body arched slightly.

But he didn't say anything. Naruto was his descendant, and since his future self hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities, then his present self should repay them.

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto clenched its claws tightly.

"Good fight!"

Naruto looked up, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Why did you seal the Nine-Tailed Fox inside your own child? Because of it, the villagers don't like me. The adults never give me a kind look, and the children don't want to be my friends..."

Naruto Uzumaki grabbed Minato's sleeve, his face full of excitement as he recounted his experiences and hardships over the years.

Minato Namikaze felt both upset and confused.

It's naturally painful for one's own child to become an orphan and suffer such treatment.

Strangely, normally it's the past sins that are repaid in the future.

It's not that it is not reported, the time has not come.

He, on the contrary, is now paying the price for the sins he will commit in the future.

Minato looked at Naruto, who was almost as tall as him, and smiled as he wiped away the tears from the corners of Naruto's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a good father. If this makes you feel better, Naruto, then..."

Naruto Uzumaki stopped throwing punches and rushed forward, tightly embracing Minato.

That punch just now had already vented his anger, so how could he bear to hit his father again?

"Tch, it's boring."

When the Nine-Tails inside Naruto saw this, it shook its head and curled up again.

Originally, he planned to tell Naruto that Minato Namikaze was his father when Naruto was about to leave. He thought that if Naruto had just found out and was about to lose him, Naruto might go berserk.

Unexpectedly, Minato Namikaze took the initiative to acknowledge her so early.

It was also thinking that if Naruto Uzumaki were to fight Minato Namikaze, it would channel all its chakra to help him.

And so it ended abruptly.

Feeling Naruto gradually calm down in his arms, Minato gently patted his back.

"I will spend a lot of time with you during this period. You can tell me if you need anything."

Fortunately, Lin Yi was there; at least he could make up for it by spending a week with Minghe as a father.

Naruto shook his head, wiped away his tears, looked at Minato and said, "I have no other request now, I just want my father to know how you will encounter danger in the future."

Watergate struggled somewhat.

boom---

The loud crash of the wooden wall immediately drew the attention of Naruto and his father.

Yamato's eyes were red.

It's so touching!

His childhood was also very tragic. As an experimental subject and a tool of Root, it was precisely because of this that he was able to empathize with Naruto even more.

Anyway, I was going to tell Kakashi-senpai anyway.

He didn't care about the potential impact; if it was a parallel universe, at least Naruto in this world could have a better life.

If not, he still chose to believe that Minato and Lin Yi could create a better future.

"The Fourth Hokage died from the Tailed Beasts' rampage. It was only a year after the war ended when the Nine-Tails suddenly went berserk."

Minato was helpless; he couldn't go up and shut Yamato up.

The three little ones and Lin Yi outside the door listened intently.

"This matter was kept under a very high level of secrecy. Even now, I don't know the specific details, but the final result was that the Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails at the cost of his life, protecting the village."

Naruto frowned.

All he knew was that his father had sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox inside him; he never imagined that his father would lose his life because of it.

We absolutely cannot let the Nine-Tails go berserk again!

"As for Lin Yi, a Jonin, Obito and Rin, I suspect they may have lost their lives in the Third Shinobi World War."

The three little ones under the bed all took out pens and started frantically taking notes.

"The Third Ninja War?"

The door opened quietly, and Lin Yi poked his head out with a frown.

Chapter 48 A Bleak Future

"Brother Lin Yi?"

Naruto quickly wiped his face again.

Goodness, they've come in a group tonight. If Queen Sarah had known this would happen, she wouldn't have needed to arrange so many rooms.

"Hmm." Lin Yi nodded and continued looking at Yamato.

"Yamato, what does the Third Shinobi World War refer to?"

Yamato also became serious. According to his research on the current time, the Third Shinobi World War would break out in less than a year.

“That was a war far more devastating than World War II,” Yamato said in a deep voice.

"The five great nations of fire, water, earth, thunder, and wind, as well as smaller nations like the land of rain, are all drawn into this war, and the land is ablaze with the flames of war."

"Does Konoha face many opponents?"

Minato asked softly.

Yamato nodded. "The Land of Water, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind... all of them went to war with Konoha. That war almost brought Konoha's foundation to rock bottom."

Lin Yi and Minato exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness and worry in each other's eyes.

There were two Shinobi World Wars in history.

The first instance was after the First Hokage's death, when the four great nations launched a joint attack on Konoha.

However, as the fighting continued, the Land of Earth and the Land of Water inexplicably started fighting each other. Even though Konoha was only fighting one against two, when it came time for peace talks, the Second Hokage was still killed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

The Second Shinobi World War was not as brutal as the First. The Land of Earth, the Land of Water, and the Land of Lightning did not participate in the war. It was mainly the Land of Rain that stubbornly attacked anyone it saw.

But judging from Yamato's words, the third war could very well be even more devastating than the first.

After all, the three countries that did not participate in World War II and were recuperating all attacked Konoha. It is understandable that Konoha, which had experienced two wars in succession, suffered heavy losses.

"What's the cause?"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then asked Yamato.

Every war has a trigger, just like the death of the first generation leader.

Knowing the trigger can, if not prevent the war, at least pinpoint the exact time when it will occur.

Yamato shook his head. Back then, he was still a test subject and had no idea what the cause was.

Kakashi frowned as he took notes.

If Obito and Rin are to sacrifice themselves, it seems that the Third Shinobi World War is very likely the reason for their deaths.

Lin Yi let out a soft breath and continued to ask Yamato, "Is there any more specific information?"

Yamato scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Jonin Lin Yi, I don't know much about the details of that war either."

Yamato turned to look at Naruto.

"Naruto, is there any specific information about the Third Shinobi World War in the history textbook?"
