Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"By the way, speaking of Konoha's White Fang... wasn't he there back then too?"

Kakashi Hatake: "Yes, I am."

Kakashi Hatake: "My father was still in Konoha at that time, and he already had a small reputation."

Here comes the finishing blow.

F4 has once again disappeared gracefully.

"Konoha was probably quite strong back then."

"There hasn't been a shortage of skilled workers yet."

"However, this allowed two ninja from Kumogakure to infiltrate Konoha."

"To think they could infiltrate the Senju clan's territory...that's unbelievable."

"They were able to take Mom away...without making a sound."

"After that, instead of immediately confining her mother, they leisurely walked towards the border."

"The Cloud Village ninjas who were able to infiltrate Konoha haven't yet noticed the mark left by my mother's hair."

Naruto paused.

[Then, glancing at Minato Namikaze, he chuckled softly:]

"Don't treat people like fools."

"Perhaps Mom has already guessed, but just doesn't want to believe it."

"Is this kind of measurement very clever?"

"There are many suspicious points in this matter... Of course, it's also possible that those two Cloud Village ninjas were indeed elite Jonin."

"However, you easily dealt with those two Cloud Village ninjas."

"You're the only one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who noticed the mark left by Mom in her hair."

"Even the most cold-blooded and foolish ninjas have seen through this so-called Will of Fire."

"They haven't come out... I'm afraid the old man has already given some kind of order."

"After that, your career skyrocketed."

"Background? Most likely the Senju, otherwise I wouldn't have this hair color."

【"background?"】

"No? Sure, the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, will be your teacher."

"And another wife who is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... That's not enough. Now that we have leverage over her, we need to elevate her status as well."

"He certainly deserves the title of hero of the Ninja War, but... wouldn't Orochimaru, another legendary Sannin, have contributed even more in terms of merit and hard work as the frontline commander?"

"Not to mention the contributions made during the Second Shinobi World War."

"In the end, the Fourth Hokage position still fell to you."

【"......"

Minato Namikaze opened his mouth, but ultimately kept it closed.

Speechless.

He sensed that Naruto seemed to have finally gotten angry.

But not because of him, but because of Kushina.

Because of Konoha, because of the Will of Fire.

[Naruto suddenly stopped talking.]

He glanced at Minato Namikaze, shook his head, and seemed uninterested.

【"I......"】

【call--】

[He can speak now.]

"I've investigated this matter as well, and there are many suspicious points."

"Undeniably, I was indeed a beneficiary...but..."

"Hmph, Eizou, just you wait. Now that you know, you still won't tell... Doesn't that make you just like everyone else?" The big fox sneered. "Kushina will definitely think you're in cahoots with them."

"The whole village plotted against her for so many years...did she die for love?"

"Isn't that enough?"

["Kushina loves you just as much as you love her... This is going to be interesting~"]

The big fox, of course, wasn't afraid of making things worse; it was just there to watch the show.

【Nine-Tails!】

Minato Namikaze glared fiercely at the big fox.

The big fox immediately patted its chest, "How scary!"

"What, is there a problem with what I said?"

"Alright, Naruto, that's enough. Hurry up and let Kushina come out."

"Also, don't use words later, use illusion magic!"

"I still have some Mangekyou Sharingan chakra that Izumi fed back."

"With the two of us working together, we can create an immersive illusion that's almost as powerful as Tsukuyomi."

Yes, the Ninja Sect has made new developments in the past few days.

[It can return chakra.]

This ability instantly propelled Naruto and the giant fox into the air.

[As long as Naruto wants to.]

[Can be restored to full condition at any time.]

In other words, if facing a formidable opponent with equal chakra...

Naruto can use chakra without restraint.

[When his is used up, there's the Great Fox's; when the Great Fox's is used up, there's still the ability to absorb chakra from ninjas who have received Ninjutsu training.]

Of course, Naruto was unaware of the existence of Sage Mode, which is essentially natural chakra.

[Having lived for so many years, how could the great fox not know how to condense its own chakra?]

The big fox still had some ulterior motives.

【...】

[Tear—]

The sealing talisman was completely torn off.

Minato Namikaze lowered his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Naruto wasn't really interested in knowing what he was thinking.

He was simply following his heart.

As for the incoherent murmurs that kept arising in his mind, let him forgive everything.

How is that possible?

[Of course, the main thing is... what do we need Naruto to forgive?]

He didn't even hold a grudge, so what is there to forgive?

【Om—】

【soon.】

A chakra that felt extremely familiar to Naruto appeared.

【"Huh?"】

"You can really get out?"

"You are...Naruto?"

"Minato, and the Nine-Tails?"

Naruto's vision blurred.

Immediately afterwards, the sealed space before them changed its appearance.

In a world of gold.

A woman with long red hair stood before him.

[Her lips were pouting, her pretty eyebrows were furrowed, and her face showed a puzzled expression, as if she was thinking, yet also seemed a little dazed...]

Naruto paused for a moment.

He knew that this was his mother, the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki.

It was different from what he had imagined, yet somehow the same.

Unconsciously, Naruto's lips curled into a slight smile.

[Kushina's voice, filled with confusion about the situation within her sealed space, reached my ears.]

As Naruto listened, he sensed something was off.

[The verbal tic seems to be quite severe.]

[Every sentence should end with "Big Drop in the Bar"]

Naruto with black-rimmed glasses naturally doesn't have any verbal tic.

But Naruto with the gold frame has one.

So, when Kushina's voice rang out.

Everyone realized that the two were definitely mother and son.

Of course, those who were more observant also realized it.

In the chat room, Kushina's comments seemed to have been free of her usual verbal tics for a long time.

Naruto had no idea how terrifying the Uzumaki clan blood that flowed through Kushina's veins was during her lifetime.

The big fox never told him, after all, it would be too embarrassing for a fox.

[Uzumaki Kushina. 】

[A woman who, even when severely injured and on the verge of death, could still forcefully control the Nine-Tails, the leader of the tailed beasts.]

Nine-Lama (Yin): "..."

Nine-Lama (Yang): "..."

There's absolutely no need to bring this up!

If Kushina was like this, what about Mito Uzumaki?

If it weren't for the heartbreak inflicted by Konoha, even after the death of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju...

The top-tier fighting force of Konoha is still unmatched by other villages.

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode?

It's a bit difficult for Naruto, who hasn't awakened the power of the Uzumaki bloodline.

But for Kushina, it was a piece of cake; she was just indoctrinated with a lot of ideas... that the Nine-Tails' chakra was evil and she was very resistant to using it.

It's not that I can't do it, it's that I don't want to do it, I don't want to use the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Anything Kushina could do—no, anything the Uzumaki clan could do—Mito Uzumaki could absolutely do.

Even if he is slightly inferior to Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, he is definitely not much weaker.

Besides... what about adding the tailed beasts?

Perhaps this legendary woman can seal several tailed beasts inside her body at once?

After all, Kushina could control the strongest Nine-Tails even when she was low on health.

Mito Uzumaki... at full power, who knows, if she unleashed the Adamantine Lock, all nine tailed beasts would have to behave themselves.

【Naruto?】

Although filled with doubt, Kushina quickly composed herself and looked at her child.

Their eyes met.

Naruto's lips curled into a slight smile.

【"Mother."】

The love in Kushina's eyes was almost tangible.

Naruto uttered the word "Mom" very naturally.

The next instant, a red figure pounced.

[He hugged Naruto tightly.]

Suffocating love.

"Naruto~!"
