Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Minato And His Wife Show Up And Decide To Sacrifice Their Lives
Sealed Space
As soon as Naruto donned the golden battle suit of the Nine Tails, two figures suddenly appeared in his mind. To be precise, it was the chakra of his parents, Minato and Kushina.
"Finally seeing you again, Naruto..." Namikaze Minato said, looking at his grown-up son with a gratified smile.
"Naruto… I am your mother. How have you been all these years?" Kushina rushed over, hugging Naruto tightly and crying with excitement.
"Uh… It's okay!" Naruto replied, somewhat overwhelmed by the experience. He propped his head on his hand, smiling awkwardly. After all, he wasn't the real Naruto, and he felt a bit uncomfortable with his parents' sudden appearance. However, he recognized that they were both great parents!
"It's all your fault, Minato... You made Naruto a little strange to me. You knew that the Nine Tails would break through the seal, but you refused to tell me in advance. If I had known, I would have never let it out!" Kushina scolded Namikaze Minato, glaring at him.
"Ah… Ah… Wasn't I just testing a theory at the time? If you had known that the Nine Tails would come out, Naruto's fate might have changed. Perhaps..." Minato scratched his head, explaining with an awkward smile, though a hint of guilt flickered in his eyes. At that moment, he felt he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband by not protecting his wife.
"I wouldn't have forgiven you if it weren't for Naruto," Kushina said, her expression softening as she looked at her husband.
"What's going on here?" Naruto asked, watching the bickering between his parents with a faint guess in his heart.
Minato and Kushina exchanged glances. Minato stepped forward, looking directly into Naruto's eyes.
"After Kakashi returned to his childhood, I had a theory: Can history be changed? Would changing history affect the present? In the end, I decided to give it a try. But Obito died unexpectedly. At that moment, I wondered if Obito's fate was already sealed.
Still, I didn't want to betray Kakashi's trust, so I set out on my second attempt. I tried to hide Rin in Konoha, erasing all traces of her and having her live as an ordinary Anbu logistics member. But the night of the Nine Tails still arrived.
I was actually prepared to seal the Nine Tails safely. However, just as I began, I hesitated. If I changed the past, would it affect your future? Would you still be able to send Kakashi back? Or would the future you be different from the present you?
If the future changes, the past must change with it. Most importantly, if you could go back in time, it should be to the night of the Nine Tails to change our fate. But you didn't show up until the last moment. Therefore, I concluded that there was a deviation in the future or that your ability doesn't allow you to return at will.
In the end, I decided to take one more chance with our lives. If we lost the bet, we would just step into our destined path. But Naruto, you are still yourself!"
Namikaze Minato's explanation left Naruto with a headache, overwhelmed by the weight of their words.
However, Naruto understood what Namikaze Minato meant. For Naruto, his parents willingly died on the night of the Nine Tails attack. At this moment, he was deeply shocked by their greatness. They were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of his future.
This realization filled him with admiration.
"By the way, Rin, have you seen her now? If she appears, it proves that my guess was wrong— the past can be changed. If she doesn't show up... so, Naruto, I hope you don't try to change the past!"
Namikaze Minato suddenly remembered another test and stared at Naruto seriously, speaking solemnly. The implication was for Naruto to give up on his parents.
Kushina nodded in agreement, looking at Naruto with a mix of determination and reluctance. This kind of concern made Naruto, an outsider soul, deeply admire them.
"She's here! She's currently dating Mr. Kakashi, and they might get married soon! The past can be changed! Dad, Mom..."
With a bright smile on his face, Naruto comforted his parents, calling out "Dad" and "Mom." They truly deserved these titles!
"Oops... Kakashi and Rin are together? I would love to see them again! I wonder what they look like now?" Kushina sighed, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia, reflecting on how time flies.
"Is that so? That's a nice ending! Naruto, I don't know how you managed to bring Kakashi back in time, but please don't misuse this power. It could lead to chaos in the world... We are already very relieved to see you. Don't take the risk of changing our past if it's unnecessary."
Namikaze Minato's mood was good as he looked at Naruto with a mix of relief and seriousness.
The appearance of Rin proved that his attempts were somewhat effective...
"Dad, Mom... Your chakra is limited, so please hide it for now. When I return, I'll take you to see Teacher Kakashi and the others…"
Naruto's heart swelled, and he smiled at the two of them. Their chakra would always exist even without ninjutsu, and hiding it would extend the time they could stay.
"Okay, that's fine. Finally, congratulations, Naruto…"
Namikaze Minato beamed, his blond hair shining in the light, making him look even more heroic.
"Naruto, you've surpassed your mom and dad! You already exist beyond us. So, do you have a girlfriend now? Minato and I were already in love at your age…"
Kushina blinked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she bombarded him with questions. Namikaze Minato could only smile happily at her side.
Just like in the original story, Kushina began sharing her relationship history and some taboos about her romance with Minato. Ultimately, it all came down to the three ninja bans!
Naruto patiently listened to Kushina's stories and then watched as they concealed themselves once more.
[Relax, I will change your destiny! Not in this world, though. Although you are very kind, I am not your real son. I hope that in another world, you will be reunited as a real family!]
Naruto secretly resolved this in his heart. His mind was shaken as his consciousness returned to reality.
Outside World
"Naru, Naruto? Is this the power of the Nine Tails? How could this be happening?"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto's stylish appearance with wide eyes, marveling at the sight around him.
"Hey, hey, hey... but it's much more than that! Kurama, let's get some fresh air…"
Naruto was in a joyful mood, a strange smile on his face. The chakra within him erupted, creating a terrifying chakra storm that spread around him.
The explosive chakra sent Jiraiya and the toads flying. A massive golden chakra formed, blocking the sun and covering the sky.
The giant beast was adorned with black markings, exuding a powerful aura that was both impressive and intimidating!
Naruto stood tall beneath the phantom of the giant beast, his presence majestic like the sea, with nine golden tails swaying wildly in the wind.
"This is the Nine Tails? Why does it look like this? What an incredible chakra!"
Jiraiya stood at a distance, staring at Nine-Tails Naruto with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, completely astonished.
