"Naruto!"

"Please."

Kushina walked toward her son without hesitation.

After her initial shock, Eternal Sister walked slowly toward Naruto, tears welling in her eyes.

Naruto did not waste any words. He controlled the Power of Absorption from the Woods-Woods Fruit.

He absorbed both of them into his body.

Buzz—

After a ripple passed through the Sealing Space, Naruto returned to the Real World.

Kurama glanced at the unsealed seal alone within the Sealing Space.

"Forget it... That kid can control me with a single look. It's only that I can't resist him. It's not like I'm happy about it."

Then he too left the Sealing Space and returned to the Real World.

"Lord Kurama!"

Haku and Zabuza had changed into new outfits.

Haku had completely changed into women's clothing, while Zabuza had shed his Hidden Mist attire.

Without a close look, they truly would have been unrecognizable.

"You two guard this place. I'm heading out."

"Remember, if these people refuse, use Genjutsu to control them. Wait for me to come back and deal with them."

Kurama glanced at the Konoha ninja currently training Chakra Nature Transformation.

They were all well-known "trash" in Konoha.

They had no resources, no talent, and no connections.

They could only muddle through their days.

"Yes!"

After respectfully seeing Kurama off, Haku looked at Zabuza.

"Mr. Zabuza, our choice cannot be wrong."

At first, Zabuza might have snorted coldly and told her to wait a little longer.

But this time, he could not utter a single rebuttal.

Over the past few days, he had personally watched countless genin whose names were not even worth remembering.

In merely a week, they had gained strength comparable to the Demon Brothers.

And that was not even their limit.

If this continued... perhaps the future of the Ninja World really would be decided by that Brat.

"You train too. I'll keep watch."

Haku leaned against him. "Okay~"

Crack—

After elementalizing his back, Naruto created two White Zetsu Clones.

He infused them with vast amounts of natural energy, allowing the unconscious White Zetsu Clones to continuously devour it.

Until they grew into solid forms.

Naruto smiled as he looked at the two vibrant White Zetsu Clones.

"That cheap dad of mine may have trouble accepting this, or may be unwilling to admit it. But with cheap mom around, she'll probably soon erase the Will of Fire that trapped him his entire life."

"Since that's the case, let's begin."

Naruto reached out and covered one Clone's face.

The next moment, he controlled a self-aware mass of Nutrients at his brow with his mind.

It slowly flowed down his arm and into the Wood Clone's mind.

After a long while, with Naruto's assistance, the mass of Nutrients quickly spread through and absorbed into the Clone's body.

Once it reached a point of balance, the Wood Clone's appearance began to change.

Its golden long hair visibly turned red.

"Now we just wait for her to adapt to the body."

Afterward, Naruto used the same method to "resurrect" Eternal Sister.

While they waited, Kurama had already arrived in the Real World.

"Kurama, they're different from you, so the quality of their Clones is different. They'll need some time to adapt."

Kurama rolled his eyes at him, then skillfully took out a lollipop hidden in the cabinet.

This was Anko's emergency food supply.

She stashed away a little each time, and after Kurama discovered it, he ate a little every time she did.

After waiting a quarter of an hour, Kushina woke up first.

She looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and felt the warmth radiating from her body.

That familiar sensation made tears well up in her eyes.

She pulled Naruto into her arms.

"Naruto."

"Heh heh, belated love is cheaper than grass."

???

Kushina glared at Kurama. Could he not read the room?

Wait... this?

Kushina released Naruto and circled Kurama's human body once.

Her fists clenched.

"Kurama, why do you look so much like Grandma Mito?!"

"And was it you who messed around and turned Naruto into a little adult?!"

Now it was Kurama's turn to be stunned.

"Forget the appearance. This is just a body!"

"And don't forget, I'm a Tailed Beast!"

"Don't judge me with your stupid human way of thinking!"

"All right, all right. Kushina, Kurama, don't get angry."

The moment Eternal Sister woke up, she stopped Kushina.

Naruto also changed the subject.

"Now only the second step remains."

"The second step?"

"Yeah. Mom, you still remember the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools, right?"

Kushina lightly bit her finger. After hesitating for a moment, she still nodded.

"I remember the location, but after all these years, it'll take some time to find it."

"As long as we can find it, everything will be easy."

"If I remember correctly, the Death God of the Reaper Death Seal also has a summoning ritual, right?"

Kushina nodded slightly.

"Yes. At first, the Reaper Death Seal was not a ninjutsu. It was a ritual that summoned the Death God."

"Only later did it evolve into the Reaper Death Seal, which could summon the Death God using Chakra."

"Then this will be easy." Naruto smiled.

"Naruto, are you planning to summon the Death God and trade for my soul and Kurama's Yin Half-Body?"

Eternal Sister frowned. "Since it's a ritual, sacrifices are inevitable. Judging from the Reaper Death Seal... getting our souls back won't be so simple. The caster... the summoner will need to offer their physical body or soul."

"Don't worry about that. I have two preparations. We'll try it after you retrieve the mask."

The first was naturally to exploit a loophole like Snake Aunt. The second was that Naruto wanted to see whether the Death God's harvesting ability was stronger, or the absorption ability of his Woods-Woods Fruit was stronger.

If he could absorb the Death God, then perhaps one day he could become the god of rituals.

"We can discuss the Uzumaki Clan later."

"Naruto, can you first tell Mom how you've lived all these years?"

Eternal Sister said helplessly, "Kushina's Chakra had always been dormant so that it could help you control Kurama in the future."

"Naruto, your mom... did not want to die."

"After Kurama was pulled from Kushina's body by a masked man suspected to be Madara Uchiha, her life force had been continuously draining away."

With tears in her eyes, Kushina said, "If you don't want to say it, let Kurama tell us."

Naruto shook his head. "I have a more direct method. Don't resist the power of Genjutsu."

As he spoke, Naruto's azure eyes activated the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Sharingan... No, this is the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan?"

Eternal Sister and Kushina were both shocked upon seeing Naruto's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Naruto, these eyes... how did you obtain them?"

"If you transplanted the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, then the Sharingan should not be able to deactivate."

Faced with their confusion, Naruto smiled.

"If I can even resurrect you, obtaining the Sharingan doesn't seem all that difficult, does it?"

"That's true."

"Eternal Sister, don't interrupt. Naruto, hurry and let Mom see how you've lived all these years!"

Minato took a deep breath and continuously adjusted his emotions.

Too many things that had happened today had overturned everything he knew.

"Then I'll begin. Don't resist."

Tsukuyomi.

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan spun.

Kushina and Eternal Sister did not resist.

They were swiftly pulled into the world of Genjutsu.

Kurama naturally could not sit idle. He secretly went to watch as well.

Then he discovered... with one look, and then another... he lost control over his body again.

Naruto: "..."

Why did he insist on making trouble for himself?

Sure enough, within the Tsukuyomi World, Kurama's human body was filled with grief and indignation.

"Kurama, you came in too?"

"Hmph. Naruto may not remember, but I remember even more clearly."

"I see. Then let's go take a look together."

The Sarutobi Clan.

A frail child followed behind a Sarutobi Clan ninja.

He had blond hair and a face full of confusion.

"I told you!"

"You are absolutely not allowed to step in here again!"

"Come back with me. You have your own home!"

As he spoke, he shoved little Naruto.

Already frail, Naruto nearly toppled to the ground.

Yet the Sarutobi Clan ninja still said with a disgusted expression,

"Walk faster!"

"You bastard!!!"

They had only entered the Tsukuyomi World for a single minute.

Kushina had already entered Blood Red Pepper mode.

But in this Tsukuyomi World, they could not do anything.

They were merely spectators.

After Kushina became enraged, a massive amount of Nine-Tails Chakra surged from her body in the Real World.

Naruto was also surprised. This Chakra was being drawn directly from within his body.

The Uzumaki Clan truly deserved to be called perfect Jinchuriki.

Naruto stepped forward and lightly tapped Kushina's brow, only then suppressing the force drawing upon Kurama's Chakra.

Kurama in the Tsukuyomi World had it much worse.

"Kushina... stop absorbing... hurry... stop!"
