Two days later.
Looking not far away, Gaara, who could barely talk to Bai and the three of them, let alone chasing and playing with each other, Gaara, who felt a little shaky even when walking, asked Shinji casually to Minato who was standing aside.
"That kid's fate has been decided. Even if he survives, he can't escape. That tanuki must be quite important to those people, right? You don't want to cause conflict, have you really figured out how to deal with that kid?"
Minato was silent. Indeed, just as Mr. Anri said, even if he survives now, the boy named Gaara will probably not have any good results.
Shukaku is the most important to Sand Village. Minato knows it best. After losing Shukaku, Fourth Kazekage Rasuna, that madman may be planning a war now!
After all, Sand Village's policy has always been, if I am not doing well, then no one should think about it!
For example, Third Shinobi World War, after being attacked by Hidden Rock Village, they divided their troops into two groups without thinking, and led one group of troops to directly attack Konoha!
Although there is also a reason why an old woman has too much personal grudge against Konoha, but overall, Sand Village has an attitude towards Konoha of "don't care who hits me, I will make Konoha's life miserable".
One-Tail is lost, it is impossible for them not to cause trouble.
The only way to stabilize them temporarily is to send One-Tail Jinchuriki back, but...
When he thought that such a child would face the fate of having his life taken away by his biological father when he returned home, Minato hesitated, and even couldn't let go.
For Minato, who has been indoctrinated with Will of Fire since he was a child, the balance of ninja villages between major countries is necessary. If there is such a huge imbalance that the tailed beast is gone, it will breed war and other problems.
Can I just send it back?
Minato looked with a complicated expression at Gaara who wanted to catch up with Karin but fell to the ground because of his weak constitution. However, he stood up with Bai's help instead of crying.
"Speaking of which, I've never been to that Sand Village. Why don't you go and have a look?"
Hearing Shinji say this, Minato's heart skipped a beat.
Then he hurriedly stopped it.
"Forget it, that kind of place is full of yellow sand and there is nothing delicious, delicious or fun to do! Let's not go to that kind of place, right? Mr. Anri... hehehe..."
Shinji, who knew what Minato was thinking, did not expose him but held his chin with one hand and once again turned his attention to the few little ghosts who were playing.
And Minato, who was looking at Shinji, thought of Shinji's usual attitude towards some children on the road, suddenly an idea flashed and he spoke.
"Um...Mr. Anri, you... can you find a way to restore Gaara? If he can be restored to health, he will definitely be re-accepted by Sand Village..."
"My Healing Game"
"Huh?" Shinji frowned, with a hint of displeasure on his face, "Why should I save that little devil who has nothing to do with me? Even if there is a war, what does it have to do with me? It's better if all humans die."
Although the words were very ruthless, Minato heard something else from it, that is, the other party did have a way to restore Gaara's health!
"Mr. Anri, I remember there was a bet between the two of us..." Minato said with a serious expression.
"Didn't you lose that time? Speaking of that bet, I haven't even thought of what I want you to do yet."
Shinji was a little speechless. The so-called bet was that the two of them at Land of Rain bet whether Konan would come to Shinji again. Minato bet on whether Minato would come back, so they owed a bet that they have not decided yet.
"Then just think that I owe you one more bet!"
Shinji:...
Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
Waving his hand, Shinji said very nonchalantly, "Well, yes, yes, but are you sure you can afford it?"
"I have decided to follow Mr. Anri to the death and work as a horse for Mr. Anri!"
"Life is what I give you, okay? Isn't that what you should do when you are a cow or a horse?"
Minato:...
So do you dare to treat me like a cow or a horse?
I cry to you, do you believe it or not?
"Forget it,
Let's think about the bet first. "
After saying this casually, Shinji casually took out a small white porcelain bottle from System Space.
What surprised Minato was not Shinji's ability to transform into objects out of thin air, but the extremely pure, huge and soft Life Force that he felt from the mouth of the small porcelain bottle!
"Ah, there was a mistake."
Minato, who was just about to take it, twitched at the corner of his eyes and froze in his movements. Did this Mr. Anri do it on purpose?
"This is enough. It would be a waste to use that."
Looking at the two gems that Shinji took out, which could indeed contain huge power, Minato thought for a moment.
"Why don't you use the one just now? I feel that the effect of that one may be better."
"I've said it's too wasteful, this is enough."
With that said, Shinji waved to Gaara.
"Zira (wig)-kun, come here for a moment."
Hearing the sound, Gaara, who was playing with Karin and the others, turned around and walked over slowly.
"It's not a wig, it's... it's Gaara. (Gala)"
Looking at Gaara who was arguing seriously, Shinji suddenly felt that in appearance, this little guy who was different from the original one with no love on his forehead looked quite similar to Giant Hero.
Especially the aftermath of having the tailed beast extracted - the bunch of white hair in front of the forehead, which is somewhat similar to the bunch of white hair on Giant Hero.
"Wig-kun, swallow this."
Looking at the red gem handed over by Shinji, Gaara took it without thinking too much.
"It's not a wig, it's Gaara."
After correcting it again, Gaara directly stuffed the hard-looking red gem into his mouth and began to swallow it hard.
Looking at Gaara who was holding his neck and struggling to swallow, Minato really wanted to ask Shinji whether this method of use was correct, but he just thought about it and didn't dare to ask.
Gudu!
After many attempts, Gaara finally swallowed the gem, and Shinji also held another green gem in time and placed it on Gaara's chest.
"Liberation——"
As soon as he finished speaking, the gem burst out with dazzling green light, and the three little ones who were attracted by this magical phenomenon also ran over.
Seeing Gaara, who had been able to keep up with the Bai guys, and finally sounded like a normal child with a childish voice, Minato showed a fatherly smile.
"Is he... your son?"
Hearing the sound, the smile on Minato's face froze.
Mr. Anri said this, isn't it true that my son can't be happy that he is back to health?
Then again, Naruto...
"Speaking of which, didn't you say last time that your son would be entering school in a few days? Don't you want to go and see?"
Minato's mind turned around and it felt like something wasn't quite right.
Is Mr. Anri really going to be so kind to me and letting me go back to see Naruto?
"Then go and have a look. It's quite free anyway. Just take a look at your son, UU Reading
I also followed for a little sightseeing. "
"You don't have to do this just for me!"
Minato raised his hand to refuse, with an expression that said I don't deserve you to do this just for me.
"No, you're not going to see your son?"
Are you asking me to go back to see my son? By the way, is there anyone more dangerous than you in this world? What if you were unhappy and killed Konoha?
Minato complained in his heart, but his face remained calm.
For Minato, even if he dies, he is still Konoha's person, and he must not bring such a dangerous person back!
If you fail to persuade them, all Konoha people will die, and you will be Konoha's eternal sinner!
"What are you thinking about? I'm not someone who kills people casually."
Yes, you are indeed not someone who kills people casually.
But no one can stop you from killing people!
"In short, there is no need! These children are in need of good education at this time. Over at Naruto, I believe that Lady Tsunade and Third Hokage will educate him very well! As a parent, don't you have to trust your children unconditionally?"
"Do you really think this sentence makes sense?"
Shinji curled his lips and said that when the child was just born, he said that parents unconditionally believe in the child. He didn't even believe it unless his brain was squeezed by the door.
What do you believe in such a young child?
There is no such thing as a world view or value, so what do you really believe in? What else can you believe but that you are indeed a blue child?
"Isn't it reasonable?" Minato was stunned.
"Don't you know that worldview and values are given by the environment? For example, children who were educated by bandits from an early age will be endowed with the bandits' values of just robbing."
