Naruto, We Love You and Will Always Be Proud of You

"Oh my! I didn't expect you to be the Hiruzen patriarch's newest apprentice. I'm so sorry!"

Minato Namikaze apologized to Hagoromo with an embarrassed expression.

Hagoromo Yi twitched her lips. "No, you're not embarrassed at all."

The way she was staring at him just now was really dangerous.

If I hadn't explained quickly, Minato Namikaze would probably have taken over the projection.

Indeed, someone who can become a film director is certainly not just a gentle person.

Moreover, what do you mean by "the newly accepted disciple of the Hiruzen master"? According to seniority, you should call me Uncle-Master!

"That cheap dad... is so lame."

Naruto, standing next to Hagoromo, looked at the young man with blond hair who looked embarrassed.

He couldn't help but purse his lips and complain.

After all, when it comes to familiarity with Hagoromo or the so-called father in front of her.

Naruto prefers Hagoromo over Minato Namikaze.

"Huh, which road is this?"

The Fourth, realizing what was happening, looked at Naruto, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and looked Naruto straight in the eye.

With an apologetic look on his face and a forced smile, he said, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you, Naruto..."

"Living alone must be tough, right?"

Naruto, who had been pouting, felt a lump in his throat when he heard these words.

"You bastard dad!"

BOOM!

Even though Minato Namikaze was just Chakra body, Hagoromo, Hagoromo next to him, punched Minato Namikaze Naruto.

He couldn't help but twitch his face.

It truly is a harmonious scene of a loving father and filial son.

Minato Namikaze, who had just been punched by Naruto, reached out and hugged Naruto.

Kushina, our son really does look just like you.

"Waaaaah! You bastard dad! Why did you put the Nine-Tails on me?! Do you know what everyone else is saying about me?!"

Nobody talks to me; they all say I'm a monster!

"If it weren't for Teacher Hagoromo, I would still be all alone."

Naruto sobbed and pounded on Minato's back.

Seeing Naruto and Minato Namikaze like this, Hagoromo went to lean against the Nine-Tails' cage.

He glanced at Nine-Tails, who was pretending to ignore him, and slowly said, "Kurama, why aren't you continuing now?"

After all, all that's needed now is for Nine-Tails's Chakra to be unleashed.

Naruto would definitely be swayed at this point, but whether he succeeds is another matter entirely.

"Tch, kid, don't try to test me."

The Nine-Tails, which had been lying down, opened its eyes, its vertical beastly pupils clearly expressing its speechlessness towards Hagoromo.

If he dared to make any move now, not to mention the Fourth, even this kid in front of him might have a backup plan waiting for him.

Having lived for so many years, the Nine-Tails isn't stupid; he's just angry that someone wants to control him.

"I'm sorry, Naruto."

Minato Namikaze waited until Naruto had vented his emotions before stroking Naruto's hair and speaking.

"As your father, I should have been there for you as you grew up."

"But as Hokage, I must protect the village."

"Sealing the Nine-Tails inside you was a decision made jointly by Kushina and me, your mother."

"The power of the Nine-Tails is both a curse and a hope."

"It was sealed within you because your mother and I both believe you can learn to use this power to protect those who are important to you."

"Just like Kushina and I protected you."

"Jiraiya once said that a 'Child of Prophecy' would appear in the future to bring about change in the Shinobi World."

"The moment you were born, I saw your smile and knew... that person was you."

"Your mother and I both hope that you can bring change to this world, change this world that is linked by hatred."

"The Chakra I left behind isn't just to help you solidify the seal again, but also to tell you this personally."

We love you and will always be proud of you.

As Minato Namikaze finished speaking, Naruto, who was sobbing, noticed that the hands holding him were becoming blurry.

Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, appeared somewhat ethereal.

"It seems we've been delayed for a while."

Seeing the changes in himself, Minato Namikaze said with a hint of helplessness.

"Dad..."

At that moment, Naruto forgot his grievances; he didn't want Minato Namikaze to disappear.

She quickly turned to look at Hagoromo beside her and cried out in a wronged tone:

"Teacher, could you please take a look at my father? I don't want to..."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze smiled, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

That's great, Naruto.

To hear you call me that...

Hagoromo straightened up and slowly walked to Minato Namikaze.

Looking into Minato Namikaze's eyes, he knew that the Fourth wanted him to protect Naruto.

"Fourth Hokage, the Chakra mark you left behind is your own unique Chakra."

"This also means that even if someone else wanted to replenish your Chakra, it would be absolutely impossible."

"But..."

As she spoke, Hagoromo looked at Naruto and slowly said, "Naruto should be able to do it."

Yang Release Chakra could also do this.

However, Hagoromo would never do such a thing, as it would disrupt the stability of Naruto's own Chakra.

Naruto's situation is already complicated enough; if Hagoromo's Chakra were transferred to Naruto...

The balance that Naruto had barely managed to maintain would be shattered in an instant.

"Naruto, follow the teacher's hand seals."

After Hagoromo finished speaking, she directly raised her finger, Naruto quickly looked at it carefully.

As several hand seals were slowly formed, Naruto's body glowed with a faint golden Chakra.

As expected, Naruto had absorbed the Nine-Tails Chakra just like him, also gained Yang Release Chakra.

However, Naruto didn't know how to use it, and his Yang Release Chakra was always hidden inside his body Naruto, nourishing his flesh.

"Hmm? This Chakra fluctuation?!"

The Nine-Tails, which had been lying down, was shocked and immediately stood up, looking at Naruto in disbelief.

That fluctuation was absolutely accurate.

Asura!

Hagoromo also clearly sensed the unusual nature of Naruto's Yang Release Chakra. As expected.

Both Hashirama and Naruto, the two reincarnations of Asura, will be possessed by this thing.

However, this indirectly lets Nine-Tails) know that Naruto is indeed the Child of Prophecy.

Hagoromo glanced at the Nine-Tails inside the cage, then turned to Naruto, "Alright, Naruto, place your hand on your father and slowly channel this Chakra into him."

Naruto nodded upon hearing Hagoromo's words.

He gently touched the nearly vanished body of Minato Namikaze, then injected the Chakra he had just extracted into Minato Namikaze's body.

Under the golden glow, Minato Namikaze's body once again solidified from its ethereal state.

Minato Namikaze looked at Hagoromo with a face full of surprise; he had never heard of such a method before!
