Naruto, Uncle Will Take You to See Your Parents!

Naruto's identity as the Fourth Hokage's son was confirmed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Since that day, the village had fallen into an eerie silence.

The villagers, who usually cursed the Demon Fox without a second thought, were now uncomfortably quiet.

The words "Demon Fox" seemed to become taboo, completely vanishing from all of Konoha.

There was no longer anyone cursing the Demon Fox in the streets or alleys.

There were only complex, silent villagers.

Correspondingly, Naruto also hadn't appeared in the village for a long time.

It was as if he, too, had disappeared along with the words "Demon Fox."

Outside the door, Namikaze Mirai carefully knocked.

"Naruto, come out and eat. If you don't eat now, the food will get completely cold."

Silence hung in the room for a moment, then a weak voice replied.

"Uncle, I'm not hungry. I'll eat later."

Namikaze Mirai sighed, rubbing his forehead. You've already said you'll eat later three times.

This can't go on, Naruto is becoming more and more withdrawn.

Namikaze Mirai rubbed his chin, feeling a headache coming on.

He had thought that revealing Naruto's identity would help him emerge from the shadows and stop being bullied by the villagers.

But unexpectedly, while the villagers stopped the bullying, Naruto became increasingly introverted.

This can't continue.

Knowing his true identity, that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage, who had saved the entire village—Naruto's longing for them had reached an extreme level.

Something had to be done.

Namikaze Mirai's eyes became serious.

He pushed open the door and walked straight in.

"Uncle..."

Naruto was curled up on the bed, wrapped in his blanket. Seeing Namikaze Mirai enter, he only lifted his dim eyes.

It was as if his entire soul had been drained.

"Naruto, do you want to see them?"

Namikaze Mirai sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Naruto's golden hair with a smile.

"See them..."

Naruto's dry lips moved. He looked up, a glimmer of hope in his bright blue eyes.

He, of course, knew who "them" referred to in Namikaze Mirai's words.

His parents, the Fourth Hokage and his wife!

The reason he had been cooped up in his room all these days was because he found it hard to accept this reality.

The legendary Fourth Hokage and his wife, the heroes who saved the village, sealed the monster that brought chaos to the village inside their own child.

This led to him being bullied by the entire village, left all alone.

Naruto really wanted to see them.

He wanted to know.

Why did his parents make such a choice?

Was it because, in their eyes, the village was more important than him?

"Uncle, if it's possible, I really want to see them, even if it's just for a glimpse."

Naruto looked at Namikaze Mirai hopefully.

Then, his bright blue eyes dimmed again.

How could such a thing be possible? They've been dead for so long...

"Don't lose hope, Uncle has a way!"

Namikaze Mirai's eyes curved into crescent moons as he smiled.

"Huh? Can something like that really be done?"

Naruto gasped in surprise, his mouth agape.

"Don't worry! When has your uncle ever lied to you?"

Namikaze Mirai's gaze shifted to Naruto's lower abdomen.

If he wasn't mistaken, his brother wouldn't have simply sealed the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.

Since the goal was for Naruto to become the new Jinchuriki, then in Minato's eyes, Naruto was undoubtedly meant to inherit the Nine-Tails' power.

This volatile power was something even he was quite wary of.

Not to mention a young Naruto.

Given his understanding of Minato, he must have left a contingency in case of an emergency.

As long as that contingency was activated, Naruto might be able to see Minato and his wife.

"Naruto, relax. Uncle is going to take you to a brand new place. Don't be surprised by anything that happens later, okay?"

Namikaze Mirai gently stroked Naruto's hair, which was curled up in the bedding, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Mmm."

Naruto nodded vigorously.

As long as he could see his parents, he was willing to do anything.

The next second! Zap! Blue electrical arcs flashed through Naruto's hair. Naruto's head felt heavy, and he immediately passed out.

"There's no other way. Given Naruto's age, he can only enter the Sealing Space if he's unconscious, right?"

Namikaze Mirai looked at the unconscious Naruto with a touch of heartache.

At this stage, Naruto probably hadn't had contact with the Nine-Tails inside him yet.

To get his consciousness into the Sealing Space, he could only be put into a deep coma.

After doing all this, Namikaze Mirai's gaze lingered on Naruto's lower abdomen, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

"Next, it's my turn to go in."

He lifted the clothes from Naruto's abdomen and placed his palm on the black Eight Trigrams Seal.

In the dim, damp space, Naruto groggily opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings.

"Where is this? How did I get here?"

It was a dark space he'd never seen before, seemingly without end. A thin layer of water covered the ground, and ripples spread out in circles from around his body.

Could this be what Uncle was talking about...?

Naruto's azure eyes suddenly lit up.

Uncle said that after going to that place, he would be able to see his parents.

This must be it, right? But it doesn't look like there's anyone here? Naruto tilted his head in confusion.

Could it be that after my parents died, they lived in a place like this? Suddenly, a warm hand rested on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Uncle will definitely let you see them."

"Uncle!"

Naruto turned his head and saw the familiar smiling face.

"You came in too?"

"Of course."

Namikaze Mirai smiled. "Since Uncle said he'd let Naruto see them, he'll certainly keep his word."

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed on the enormous iron gate in the distance. A sealing tag was affixed to the lock.

If he wasn't mistaken.

The contingency Minato left behind would only be activated when the Nine-Tails' Chakra went rampant.

Its purpose was to help Naruto suppress the rampaging Nine-Tails.

In that case, triggering it would be very simple.

Behind the sealed gate, a pair of enormous, eerie eyes slowly rose, as if sensing some threat, and fixed on Namikaze Mirai's body.

"It's you?!"

The Nine-Tails' pupils constricted.

Namikaze Mirai had actually come here?!

It had never had any good feelings towards this guy! Although he was Minato's younger brother, his personality was much more overbearing than Minato's. He often spent time with Kushina, studying his own power! Those unbearable past memories instantly flooded back.

The Nine-Tails gnashed its teeth in humiliation.

Just as it was about to say something, it saw Namikaze Mirai grin.

"Nine-Tails, let me test your strength!"

BOOM! In Naruto's shocked and dazed gaze, a blue lightning arc flashed by. Namikaze Mirai's body, like a flash of light, instantly appeared above the Nine-Tails' head and punched down! The Nine-Tails instantly collapsed, accompanied by a grating, bone-chilling crunch.

Its face contorted!

Its teeth shattered!
