Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

If the term "junior brother" when they met was Minato's usual courtesy, then this term "junior brother" was true trust and entrustment.

Nagato came to Kushina.

A haggard smile appeared on Kushina's lips, "Nagato, huh? I heard Minato talk about you, but I didn't expect that we are from the same clan. I'm really sorry for letting you see me in such an embarrassing state. Where's Konan? Didn't she come with you? I heard from Minato that you have a deep affection for her. Do you have a child? I really want to meet Dewane..."

Nagato smiled gently and said, "You will be able to see her soon..."

As he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal with both his hands, a seal that Minato and Kushina had never seen before.

"Swoosh!" Red fluorescent light covered Nagato's hands.

Kushina's expression changed drastically, "This, this is... the unique life energy of the Uzumaki clan! Junior brother Nagato, what are you going to do!!!"

Nagato's hands covered Kushina's abdomen and said calmly: "What else can I do? I will give you all my life energy..."

"What...!?" Minato looked at Nagato in disbelief.

Kushina's voice was filled with tears: "How can you do this? You saved me, but you yourself...!!!"

Nagato said calmly, "This is a technique that I learned specifically from Granny Chiyo of the Sand Village. This technique was originally for the living. It can be used on the dead to bring the dead back to life, but the price is the death of the practitioner."

"But don't worry, I won't die. I'm confident in my vitality..."

Minato walked up to Nagato and asked in a complicated tone, "Nagato, why are you willing to do this for us?"

Nagato didn't rush to answer his question, but asked it in return.

"Minato, answer me first, after Kushina comes back to life, what are you going to do with the Kyuubi?"

Minato said: "If the death process ends, Kushina will meet the conditions to become a Jinchūriki again. She is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate..."

"However, the weakness of the female Jinchūriki's seal will not disappear when she gives birth. I really don't want her to suffer a second time..."

"So..." Minato looked down at the baby in his arms, "I plan to let Naruto become the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki."

Is it true...

While transmitting his life force, Nagato said: "You are the Hokage of Konoha and the father of this child. You have the right to make this decision. But I wonder if you have ever thought about one question..."

"How many innocent civilians and ninjas did Kyuubi hurt in Konoha tonight..."

"Even though Tsunade's protection reduced the death toll to a minimum, there are still hundreds of people who lost their lives. How will their relatives, lovers, and friends view the Nine-Tails? How will they view this child who has become a Jinchūriki..."

"Can you guarantee that they won't regard this child as the incarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"Do you really want him to bear all this?"

"This..." Nagato's words left Minato speechless.

"I, for a moment, really haven't thought about this problem. So, what should I do? The Nine-Tails must have a place to be placed, and this place must be in Konoha..."

In the southeast corner of the woods, Xiaonan, dressed in white, came over, holding Feng in her arms!

"Swish!" Nagato completed the transmission of life force to Kushina. He stood up, and half of his red hair had turned snow-white!

Xiaonan's eyes trembled...but in front of outsiders, she held back and did not lose her composure.

Nagato said: "Minato, Kushina, I'll propose a plan for your reference. Of course, the decision is in your hands. This child is called 'Kaede'. He has amazing chakra since he was a child. He is qualified to be the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails."

"Let him replace Naruto and become Konoha Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki. Then, Kaede will be your adopted son and Naruto's elder brother, and you will raise him..."

Chapter 154 Please give me your advice for the rest of my life!

"Kushina…how are you feeling?"

Minato's first move was not to respond to Nagato's suggestion, but to come to Kushina to check on her condition.

The pale and weak look on Kushina's face was completely gone. Her rosy face didn't look like that of a woman who had just given birth and had the Nine-Tails pulled out!

"Well... thanks to Nagato-nii-san, I'm fine now."

"Wow..." Upon hearing this, Minato's hands, which were embracing Naruto and supporting Kushina's shoulders, trembled. He no longer cared about his decency in front of Nagato and two lines of tears just flowed down.

"Great, Kushina, you're okay, that's great..."

"Wow, Minato, Naruto..." Kushina hugged Minato and Naruto, crying her eyes out.

The couple experienced many ups and downs, many ups and downs on the day of welcoming a new life...you can imagine how they felt.

As if he could sense his parents' feelings, Naruto burst into tears in their embrace.

Nagato and Konan looked at each other and nodded, reaching a consensus, and decided to wait quietly for the three of them to finish crying.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!!!” The Nine-Tailed Fox, who was treated as a background, had bloodshot pupils as it stared at Feng!

But apart from roaring in impotent rage, it could do nothing, because... the Diamond Seal that bound it did not weaken its suppressive power even though Nagato used the Self-Transformation Technique on Kushina, which consumed her lifespan and turned half of her hair white!

Nagato's chakra was too strong after all.

After crying, Minato wiped his tears and looked at Nagato, "Nagato, are you serious?"

Nagato Gaotang Mingjing said with sorrow, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Minato cast his gaze towards the black-haired baby in Konan's arms, and said in a low voice: "Kaede, is that so? In order to prevent Naruto from bearing the hatred of the relatives and friends of those who died in the Nine-Tails incident, and instead let this innocent child bear it, I can't do such a selfish thing..."

Nagato sighed in his heart: Minato, you are really a good person, but...

"Some of what I said may be a little harsh. Do you want to hear it, Minato?"

"You tell me, I'll listen."

Nagato's expression was particularly serious. "Since the system established by the first Hokage to maintain the balance of combat power through the tailed beasts, it means that there will always be children who are born with the fate of becoming a Jinchūriki. Which of them is not innocent?"

"The root of the problem is that this ninja world is in endless war. People cannot reach reconciliation through mutual understanding. Instead, they must use the powerful force of the tailed beasts to achieve restraint and seek a brief peace."

"When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. The idea that 'only letting your own children bear the heavy fate is not selfish' is ultimately another kind of selfishness. Do you understand?"

"..." Minato's eyes dropped.

Nagato said: "Whether it's Naruto or Kaede, your child or someone else's child, they are all equal individuals, so they are also equal in the opportunity to receive unequal treatment."

Minato clenched his fists: "But..."

Nagato said: "You will accept the torture of conscience, then I will give you a reason why you must choose Feng."

"Because I saved Kushina's life and made your family of three reunited, so I appointed you to seal the Nine-Tails into Kaede's body. Is this reason enough?"

Minato had mixed feelings in his heart: Nagato, during our last night talk in the tower, I thought I had a general understanding of how you behave.

Now it seems that I was wrong... I was far from truly seeing through you.

Your cognitive ability, depth of thought, and ability to win people's hearts with your words are all beyond the reach of me, your senior brother...

"Well, then I really have no reason to refuse."

"But... there is only one thing I want to ask you."

Minato raised his eyes and looked directly at Nagato.

"You just said that because I am Naruto's father, I have the right to make this decision. Then, who are you to this child?"

This issue is quite acute.

Sure enough, you asked after all.

Nagato sighed silently in his heart.

But this one thing... is hard to explain.

Because Kaede is Nagato's second incarnation, created with Nagato's genetic base, integrated with the cells of Hashirama Senju and the cells of five elite Uchiha masters.

Except for the hair color which is pure black due to the influence of Senju and Uchiha cells, everything else is Nagato.

When Kaede grows up, she will look like 'Nagato with black hair'.

So...it's really hard to explain.

But still... Nagato has already prepared his words.

That is, Kaede is Nagato's child, and her mother was a female member of the Rain Village during the Akatsuki period, who has passed away...

MMP, it’s really embarrassing to say it to someone’s face.

Nagato muttered inwardly and opened his mouth to say, "Feng is me..."

"Feng is the child of Nagato and me..." But Konan's words were earth-shattering.

"What...!?" Minato and Kushina cried out in shock, and Kushina even covered her mouth with her cheeks flushed.

Let alone these two people...Nagato himself was shocked!!!

Aa ...

My beloved Xiaonan...actually said that Feng is my and her child ahh ...

"Is... is that so? Nagato-brother?" Kushina's question woke Nagato up from his deep attack.

"Ah... yes, that's right. Feng, Feng is me, mine and Xiaonan's... child." Nagato Hongwen said. At this point, he could only follow Xiaonan's pace. After all, could he slap Xiaonan in the face in public?

Minato said in disbelief: "Nagato, Konan, you, your child, you don't want to bring him up by your side, but want to go to Konoha to be a Jinchūriki, this..."

Konan said, "As a mother, of course I am against it. But Nagato said that he wanted Kaede to be the bond for Amegakure and Konoha to live in peace."

"If I remember correctly, Kushina was sent to Konoha as a symbol of friendship with Konoha before the Uzushiogakure Village was destroyed, to take over the mission of being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, right?"

"That... is indeed the case." Minato couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "By the way, Nagato, you have red hair, Konan, you have blue hair, and Kaede's hair, why is it black?"

Kushina said: "Minato, this question is redundant! A child's hair color will not only be inherited from his parents, but also from his parents' parents! That is, grandparents and grandparents!"

"Uh..." Minato scratched his head, "Then their genes must be very powerful."

Kushina stepped forward and said solemnly: "Nagato, Konan, I want to thank you for saving Minato and my life and allowing our family to be reunited."

"I also want to thank you for entrusting your child to us. This is a great trust. Minato and I will definitely not let you down. From today on, Kaede is also our child. We are a family of four, no, a family of six. Hehe, if we work harder in the future, we may become a family of seven, or even eight..."

It seems that Kushina has decided...

Minato stepped forward and, along with Kushina, bowed to Nagato and Konan.

The fate that Feng has to bear can only be compensated by the love of his parents.

Minato set up the altar for the Eight Trigrams Seal and looked back at the bound Kyuubi.

"I couldn't seal the entire Nine-Tails in the past, but with the help of fairy arts, I can finally do it now."

After Minato formed a seal, he used the power of the immortal technique to activate the Eight Diagrams Seal! !

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh…!!!!” The Nine-Tail roared unwillingly as it rushed into Feng’s small body!!

Minato exclaimed: "Amazing, the full power of the Nine-Tails is so powerful. Kushina was only able to accept it after becoming a ninja, but this child actually drank it all in one gulp!!!"

At this milestone moment, Nagato's gaze turned to Naruto, who was sleeping peacefully in Kushina's arms.

Spoken his inner monologue.

Naruto, I'm sorry, I took away your bumpy growth path, your bond with Kurama, and even your identity as the savior...

In return.

I will give you a warm and happy home where you don’t have to drink expired milk or eat expired instant noodles, and where you have your parents by your side. I will also give you a childhood where you don’t have to swing alone, but have playmates around you and are free of worries…

I don't know if this is a fair exchange.

But... getting the Nine-Tailed Fox without harming your family of three is the best balance I can do between kindness and profit.

Throughout my life, I, Nagato, do not seek perfection, but only... to have a clear conscience!

My second incarnation, Feng, will be your brother from now on. Please give me your guidance for the rest of my life!

Chapter 155 Exchanging Tokens~!

In the clearing in the woods, the Nine-Tailed Fox had disappeared.

"Huala la la..." The Diamond Sealing that was activated to restrict the Nine-Tails also lost its meaning. Under the guidance of Nagato's thoughts, it was pulled out from the ground and disappeared under his clothes.

Feng was lying on the sealing platform, with a double Four Symbols Seal on his abdomen, the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique.

In this way, the Nine-Tails' chakra can flow out from the gap between the two Four Symbols Seals and be used by the Jinchūriki.

It is said that there was no such thing as the Eight Trigrams Seal in this ninja world. It was when Kushina's Nine-Tails went berserk that Minato, with his intelligence and talent, had an idea and combined two of the Four Symbols Seals to create the unprecedented Eight Trigrams Seal.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Eight Trigrams Seal is the most sophisticated sealing technique after the Six Paths and Ten Tails Coffin Seal.

Minato gently picked up Kaede.
