A second time around!
This time, the one who couldn't withstand the blow was actually Minato!!
He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and muttered in a trembling voice, "Naruto... is already... dead?"
In reality, the reason Minato had come to this conclusion was that, before his death, he had been doing everything he could to seal the Nine-Tails, and the place where he died had also changed from Pure Land Space to the Death God's stomach.
Moreover, since he was not in Pure Land Space, it was genuinely difficult for him to accurately determine whether Naruto was alive or dead.
Under the influence of his extreme tension and worry, Minato subconsciously assumed that Naruto had met with disaster and was completely dead.
"No, that's impossible!" Minato shouted, his eyes filled with despair and sorrow.
He recalled that he still hadn't been able to reunite with Naruto, and the pain in his heart grew even more unbearable.
As for his memories from inside the sealing space...
Because the barrier between spaces had been broken, this wisp of his consciousness eventually returned to the Pure Land. He had also been directly revived from the Death God's space, without intersecting with the consciousness in Pure Land Space, which resulted in this part of his memories being lost.
Naruto looked puzzled.
"How is the Empire so terrifying to them?"
"Their reaction is way too exaggerated!"
Naruto couldn't help complaining.
Sasuke also frowned.
"When I told Itachi Uchiha that Sasuke was at our house, they reacted the same way."
Filled with anger, and no longer restrained by a Summoning Animal, Minato attacked Naruto without hesitation as soon as he reappeared.
Although there was some hesitation and struggle in his eyes, he still couldn't forgive this son who had replaced his own son!
