When the group arrived at their destination, Kakashi was so weak he couldn't move, and Guy also looked unwilling to fight.
Minato Namikaze suddenly felt exhausted. One team, two burdens—this mission was impossible to complete.
Let's get started! Whoever wants to do this task can do it.
"Where's the Menma?" Minato noticed a problem at that moment.
At this moment, no one knew that Naruto had already rushed towards their destination alone.
I don't have time to waste with your nonsense.
Right now, Naruto is only thinking about getting the Crimson Technique back as soon as possible.
But this behavior will undoubtedly put him in danger. But who do you think I am? I am Naruto!
[Kakashi: Just like something Naruto would do. I wonder why Naruto's emotions are starting to act up, though he hasn't realized it yet.]
Indeed, Naruto's mind was in turmoil, so he forced himself to leave this place as soon as possible and get some rest.
"Naruto!" At this moment, the careless Naruto the insidious trap set by Jiraiya before his death.
A single spell summoned several giant Toads.
I'm too late. If I trigger Jiraiya's technique like this, I'll probably be mistaken for an enemy.
"We are Shinobi from Konoha, here to retrieve the scroll left behind by Jiraiya- sensei."
But the summoned Gamabunta didn't care about any of that. Who did they think they were? Jiraiya to guard the scroll to the death.
[Minato Namikaze: Is he the boss?]
So it was Gamabunta who was in charge of guarding it. This is a bit tricky.
If it were any other Toads, we could probably negotiate, but if it's the boss, it's probably not going to work out.
[Gamabunta: What does "Minato" mean?]
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Just the literal meaning, it roughly means you're single-minded.]
[Gamabunta:...]
Seeing that communication was impossible, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to resort to the desperate measure of forcing his way in.
However, in an instant, the group was overwhelmed by countless Toads that had been summoned, the dense swarm of Toads pressing them to the ground.
"Act recklessly!"
Might Guy stretched out his hands, seemingly trying to repel them, but was stopped by Minato.
Let's try our best not to hurt them.
At the same time, Naruto flew onto the head of the Gamabunta, intending to activate Sage Mode there, so that he could at least prove that the toad boss wasn't an enemy.
However, a sudden attack forced Naruto to jump up and dodge.
Just then, the old Toad spat out a thick phlegm, or more accurately, a corrosive mucus.
At this moment, Naruto in the air had no chance to dodge.
"Menma!"
A familiar figure appeared beside Naruto and shoved him away, but accidentally got some slime on his feet in the process.
The intense corrosiveness caused Kushina to fall from the sky in immediate pain.
"Kushina!"
Minato seeing Kushina injured, Kushina Body Flicker Technique to her side and caught her.
"Why, why..." Naruto said, puzzled. Why did she risk her life to save him?
[Kushina: Silly boy, because no matter which parallel world you're in, you'll always be my son.]
Indeed, maternal love is something that cannot be clearly explained.
At this moment, Minato saw that the injured Kushina no longer looked dangerous. He first instructed Naruto to take good care of Kushina.
Then Minato turned his gaze to Gamabunta, and those who knew Minato knew that Minato was about to get serious.
Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get the first move, and then went over to pick up the harpoon.
Throughout the process, they constantly chased after their opponent, launching counter-attacks.
[Fourth Raikage A: Watch closely, this Yellow Flash technique is quite rare.]
The last time he fought Minato Namikaze was the one before that.
That time, he and Bi managed to fight Minato to a draw. If Minato hadn't had a few burdens with him, they probably could have had an even more enjoyable fight.
[Hozuki Mangetsu: As expected of the Fourth Hokage, his skills are absolutely top-notch.]
Just when everyone thought Minato was about to start operating, Minato Jiraiya turned around Flying Thunder God to the place where Jiraiya-sensei kept the scroll.
Minato decisively removed the Flying Thunder God, and at the same time, Gamabunta and the others vanished instantly.
[Fourth Raikage A:?]
Everyone's been waiting for your performance, and this is what you show them? To put it bluntly, what's the difference between this and running away?
[Minato Namikaze: I think the boss isn't the enemy, so there's no need to fight to the death.]
Yes, that must be it. We're all friends, why do we have to fight to the death?
If possible, avoid resorting to violence; we are all civilized people.
[Thanks to the fact that they brought a wet nurse with no milk this time, Sakura.]
This prevented Kushina's wound from worsening.
But Minato still pulled Naruto aside.
"Kushina suffered minor burns, but you know what I'm going to say, right?" Minato said with a slightly serious expression.
Today's events were entirely due to Naruto's unauthorized actions.
"Leave me alone, I'm teaching you to leave me alone, is that enough?" Naruto shouted.
It's not a big deal that I was attacked while acting alone. As long as it wasn't a fatal wound, I'll be fine in a few days.
It's her fault for taking that hit for me without permission.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap echoed throughout the forest, Naruto felt the pain on his face in disbelief.
"That's impossible. I'll always think about protecting you, no matter what. There's no reason; it's just my body's instinct!" Minato said quietly.
Are you going to let Kushina watch her son be in danger and do nothing?
"Why are you saying these things?" Naruto's tone was no longer as sharp as before.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Minato thought there was something wrong with his identity.
"No, no." Naruto wanted to say something more, but Minato's large hand was already on his shoulder.
"Stop doing such reckless things. Kushina told me before we left that she would help you write your Jonin application after the mission."
After Minato this combination of techniques, Naruto instantly felt a warmth he had never experienced before; this kind of care was something he had never felt before.
Moreover, unlike the care shown to me by Iruka-sensei and Kakashi-sensei, this was a heartfelt and unconditional love.
[Rasa: Minato Namikaze, it seems your son is getting hopelessly addicted to Tsukuyomi.]
When I first entered Tsukuyomi, I was full of rebellious spirit, but I've already started to enjoy it very soon.
Who was it that said they had absolutely no interest in this kind of fake life?
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: This was probably the first time Naruto had felt the care of his parents, something that doesn't exist in reality.]
[Madara Uchiha: Do you see that? This is the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a world without strife, a perfect world.]
At this point, Madara started promoting his Tsukuyomi. Kenji, though not the brightest, still had some talent.
They actually came up with the idea of creating a Limited Tsukuyomi so that others could experience Tsukuyomi beauty.
Come on, the harsh reality can't be changed, so why not experience Infinite Tsukuyomi?
