Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

She shook Naruto's shoulders frantically, almost shaking him to his core...

"Damn it, Minato! I think I've knocked Naruto out of his mind!"

Minato Namikaze smiled gently: "How could that be..."

"Naruto probably didn't react in time."

"After all these years, this is the first time our family has truly reunited..."

"A...family..."

Naruto instantly heard some key words, his mind went blank for a moment, and he regained his senses.

"You, you mean..."

"You two are mine...mine..."

Those two words trembled throughout.

Unable to speak.

Although it wasn't taboo, it was something that had never been said before.

Naruto's brain hadn't processed it yet.

But his body's instincts had already acted in his place.

Two streams of tears gushed out uncontrollably.

Even my eyes felt intense pain.

Kushina Uzumaki looked at Naruto, who was crying, and felt a pang of heartache. She pulled him into her arms...

"Naruto……"

"I am your mother..."

Naruto felt his mother's embrace, but for a moment he still couldn't come to his senses.

"Mother……"

His tears flowed uncontrollably, cascading down like a real waterfall.

Kushina Uzumaki sensed his emotions and, likewise, burst into tears, crying her heart out...

Minato Namikaze, however, still wore a gentle smile.

Her eyes were also moist, but she held back her tears.

The Eight-Tails Gyūki and Killer Bee never expected that what was supposed to be a Tailed Beast Mode training session would turn into a reunion of Naruto's family of three...

But Killer Bee was also a man of emotion, and seeing this scene, even this tough guy shed tears.

Minato Namikaze stepped forward and embraced his wife and son.

This is the first and probably the last time the family of three will be together.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment.

……

I don’t know how long it took.

Naruto finally recovered a little from his tears.

He broke free from his parents' embrace and looked at the two people in front of him...

His own father was none other than the Fourth Hokage who saved the village!

My own mother, though I don't know who she is, is so powerful, so beautiful...

At that moment, he was overwhelmed by a complex mix of emotions.

I don't know whether I should cry, laugh, love, hate, be happy, or be in pain...

Minato Namikaze seemed to have seen through Naruto's thoughts.

"Naruto, I'm sorry..."

"All these years, I haven't been by your side..."

"You must be having a very hard time, right?"

Naruto, who hadn't wanted to continue crying, couldn't stop the tears from falling when he heard those words...

"I……"

He wanted to say something, but couldn't bring himself to say it.

Looking at his expression, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but burst into tears without any regard for her image.

"poor child……"

"Mom is sorry too..."

Naruto forcefully wiped away his tears: "What...what exactly happened..."

"Why is my father the Fourth Hokage?!"

"Why seal the nine-tailed fox inside your own son?!"

Minato Namikaze sighed softly.

"This is a very long story."

"However, I will still tell you everything..."

then.

Minato Namikaze began to tell his story from the beginning.

From his childhood encounter with Kushina Uzumaki, to rescuing her as a hero, to his moonlit embrace and kill, to his outstanding performance in the Third Shinobi World War, he finally deserved to become Hokage.

then……

That was that night.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's Rebellion.

Although his life was short, it was magnificent and extraordinary.

To describe it as radiant would be no exaggeration.

In the era of dazzling yellow light, no brilliance was spared its eclipse.

Killer Bee nodded in agreement, because he had actually experienced that era and even fought the Yellow Flash in person.

Hearing the exciting parts, Naruto couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

She was extremely proud of her father's strength and excellence.

But upon hearing about the Nine-Tails' rampage, I couldn't help but empathize, as if I were there myself, sensing the indescribable fear and despair...

"The mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' destruction of the village and the Nine-Tails' rampage is that masked man, who calls himself Uchiha Madara!"

"Although he may not be the real Uchiha Madara, he is definitely involved and is probably Madara's successor..."

"In short, considering all the factors, I ultimately had no choice but to make a decisive move and seal the Nine-Tailed Fox inside the newborn Naruto. This way, the Nine-Tailed Fox will no longer cause trouble, Konoha will not lose this strategic weapon, and most importantly..."

"I believe that one day you, Naruto, will be able to harness this power and, like your mother, use it to continue protecting the village and the entire ninja world."

"I believe you can do it."

"Because you are my son..."

The story is over, and Naruto feels as if he has experienced the lives of his father and mother.

He finally understood everything.

They understood their origins and background.

Not only did they have parents and a home, but they also finally had their own roots.

"Is it that masked man again?!"

"Having massacred the Uchiha clan, Sasuke's ultimate target for revenge is him!"

"That man is truly the root of all evil!"

Namikaze Minato nodded.

"Indeed, it seems that all the ups and downs in the ninja world over the years have been orchestrated by this masked man..."

"From the Nine-Tails' rampage, to the Uchiha clan's massacre, to the Blood Mist Village of Kirigakure, to the turmoil within the Akatsuki organization..."

"Etc., etc."

Naruto was taken aback: "Dad, how do you know these things?"

"Aren't you already dead?"

Minato Namikaze chuckled: "Didn't I just say that?"

"In order to allow Kushina and me to see you one more time, I sealed our chakra within your body, so we were actually able to see what you went through..."

"Although, there's nothing we can do about it..."

"Only when you attempt to break the seal on the Nine-Tails and truly train in Tailed Beast Mode will Kushina and I be able to meet you, which means..."

"At this moment."

Naruto nodded: "I understand, I understand everything..."

Kushina Uzumaki, abandoning her previous assertive demeanor, asked weakly, "Naruto... Naruto..."

Will you hate us?

Naruto smiled and said, "How could that be!"

"Because we weren't there to watch you grow up, and we made you suffer so much..."

"They are the most irresponsible parents in the world..."

Naruto shook his head.

"Maybe I thought that when I was a child, but I'm not that willful child anymore..."

"In this ninja world, I am not the only orphan, not the only one who has suffered pain and loneliness..."

"I have experienced too much and witnessed too much suffering in others..."

"Gaara, having a father is worse than not having one. He is assassinated by his own father every day and betrayed by his own uncle. He lives a life of unbearable suffering..."

"Sasori of the Red Sand, whose parents both died in the war, created puppets of his father and mother in order to relive the feeling of their presence, just wanting a hug..."

"Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, they were all orphans from Amegakure, their parents all died in the war. They huddled together for warmth, but in the end, they all died one by one..."

Naruto forced a strong smile.

"Compared to them, I have no pain..."

"Moreover, I have Iruka-sensei, the perverted sage, Hinata, Sasuke, and Gaara..."

"So many people have recognized my worth, and I will protect them at all costs..."

"Although I was indeed very lonely and suffered a lot when I was a child..."

"But now, I am no longer alone."

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki exchanged a glance.

The fact that he has become so strong proves just how much suffering Naruto has endured.

The two could only sigh.

but……

Such a Naruto filled his parents with endless pride.

Minato Namikaze smiled gently and said, "Naruto, I'm so proud of you..."

"Because you didn't just meet your parents' expectations, you far exceeded our expectations..."

"Although I left the nine-tailed fox behind so that you could wield this power."

"But I didn't expect you to give up this external force and only want to become stronger through your own strength, and more importantly..."

"you did it!"
