Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

[This is insane! Insane! Insane!!!!]

The large fox's face turned deathly pale.

Kushina's fury terrified the fox, but she still managed to maintain a defiant stance.

[The breakdown of Kushina instilled fear in the fox, causing him to frantically minimize his presence.]

Kushina's silence made the fox feel as if the old man of Six Paths was smiling at him...

【Damn it!】

【『Always with Girls!!!』】

[Speak up!]

Why does it always fail me at crucial moments?!

[“Hurry up! Didn’t you see that Kushina has been in this state for so long?!”]

【『......』】

The great fox roared inwardly.

【“Weren’t you very eloquent before?!”】

[“What? The Rasengan was created for Kushina? I don’t want to lose Kushina… If I don’t speak up now, I’ll lose everything!”]

The big fox wanted nothing more than to kick the silent Minato's ass hard.

[I'm so angry at their lack of ambition!]

However...

[Kushina paused slightly in her steps.]

The little fox that sneaked in ran faster than anyone else.

Fortunately, while pain is the main theme, there are still plenty of "seasonings."

Kushina's thoughts are not static.

The idea of ​​destroying the world.

[It evolved into the destruction of Konoha.]

As time passed within the illusionary world.

[The destruction of Konoha has escalated to the destruction of half of it.]

[...in the end—every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor.]

And there's that endless indifference.

[A cute little fox head peeks out from around the street corner.]

Seeing Kushina's aura change slightly, his body trembled like a leaf, almost reflexively.

[He glanced at Kushina's gaze at that moment.]

The big fox finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Boldly revealing his entire body.]

Because at this moment, what Kushina saw were those tiny creatures that the foxes wouldn't normally pay much attention to.

[Naruto's face gradually showed more smiles.]

[The quirky Ino, the well-behaved and sensible Sakura, the considerate upperclassman Tenten, the shy Hinata, the clever Shikamaru...]

[Fun things that happened before I entered the Ninja Academy.]

[Life at the Ninja Academy.]

[The thriving young Naruto.]

[Iruka-sensei is being driven almost to madness.]

[The tsundere Sasuke.]

The darkness of Konoha... Naruto's continuous growth.

The Hyuga Byakugan incident in Kumogakure, the night of the Uchiha clan massacre...

[As strength increases, so does the amount of abuse and curses.]

[The old man who's gradually starting to trust Naruto...]

All of this made Kushina unable to hold back any longer.

Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

Through teary eyes, I watched that growing figure disappear into the distance.

At this moment, Kushina realized how naive she had been, believing that the worst outcome would be like what had happened to her back then.

But... along this journey, when has that once frail child ever truly been able to do as he pleased, even finding a moment to relax?

A single misstep could lead to utter ruin.

Kushina hated everyone she knew, she hated the entire ninja world...

Now, watching the heartwarming scene between Naruto and Izumi, Kushina remained silent, seemingly unable to even smile anymore.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, but what appeared to be a smile wasn't a genuine one.

He opened his mouth, but no laughter came out.

This scene.

This silenced everyone.

You can feel Kushina's emotions even through the large black-framed screen.

I also understand why Naruto with the black-rimmed glasses treats people differently.

With a mother like that, if Naruto in black doesn't call her "Mom," who should he call "Mom"?

Even Black Zetsu, who was on the run, stopped and stared blankly at the scene.

Of course, some people were not greatly affected.

For example, even with his filial son, Uchiha Itachi, he continued on his way in silence.

And there's Obito Uchiha, helplessly furious at Black Zetsu running away under the Kannabi Bridge.

Of course, we can't forget the legendary Sannin, one of the Three Ninjas, who was even more eager to find the Child of Prophecy and end all of this—Umi no Yona.

Orochimaru opened his mouth, but ultimately chose not to speak.

He only glanced back at the Root organization's underground base.

Sarutobi-sensei and Danzo seemed to have been silent for a long time.

Then, he looked at the two old immortals, Hokage advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, who were sitting on pins and needles.

Even at this point, they are still maintaining the facade that they believe superiors should have.

Could it be that... they can't see that the group of invited dignitaries and celebrities are already slumped in their seats, completely exhausted?

The illusionary world finally ended when they embarked on their mission to the Land of Waves.

[In just one month, the footage presented naturally cannot be all-encompassing, but most of it can be seen.]

The illusionary world has collapsed.

However, Kushina's consciousness did not return immediately.

She stood there, rooted to the spot.

[He was stunned for a long time.]

She knew it very well.

If my son weren't so outstanding... perhaps he would already be a puppet of the Will of Fire.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze stepped forward heavily, one step at a time.

[He gently placed his hand on Kushina's shoulder.]

Kushina did not react at all.

With nowhere to hide, the little fox immediately prepared to dodge.

Unexpectedly, the two people didn't even notice it.

Thus, evil arose in his heart.

[Stirring things up, this fox is a professional!]

However, looking at Kushina's back, the little fox shrank back, thinking it was better not to provoke her.

If it collapses again, the fox will also suffer.

[Kushina could easily suck the fox dry with a single thought, leaving him skin and bones.]

【"wrong!"】

[“Over the past month, they already have my chakra inside them!”]

[“As long as this fox has a single thought… hehe!”]

【"Um?!"】

【Wait...why is Kushina's situation different from that damn Eitai-chan?】

The little fox stared wide-eyed, its face filled with disbelief.

【Are you sure you're not seeing things?】

[Damn it... Is this what a whirlpool is?]

【flash!】

Without further hesitation, the little fox quickly withdrew from the illusionary world that was about to be forcibly dispelled.

【"Kushina."】

"Let's go."

Minato Namikaze sighed.

He shook his head, somewhat at a loss.

If Kushina doesn't want to leave and returns to her own consciousness, there's nothing he can do.

【boom--】

[The next moment.]

The illusionary world has completely collapsed.

The two also returned to their conscious bodies.

Minato Namikaze immediately opened his eyes and looked at Kushina beside him.

[But...Kushina's eyes were closed.]

[He doesn't seem to be awake yet.]

Minato Namikaze frowned and hurriedly went to wake Kushina.

But the moment he reached out, his body stiffened, and he lost control of it.

The only part that can move is its eyeballs.

Turning his eyes, he saw the large fox grinning wickedly at him.

Those fox-like eyes became extremely lively, as if asking Minato Namikaze why he wasn't speaking or moving.

Is it because he/she is naturally quiet?

Or is it simply that I'm naturally inactive?
