"Naruto..."
"Naruto..."
Within the Mental World...
The Nine-Tails' furious roar had vanished.
Two figures appeared almost simultaneously.
"!"
Naruko raised her head and stared blankly at the two figures.
"Wait, Kushina, it doesn't seem to be Naruto... It's Naruko."
"Minato, Naruko is fine too."
The two figures spoke.
Naruko stared at their faces.

Hyuga Sho, the head of the Torture Department.
Hyuga Sho, the White Devil.
Hyuga Sho, Sakumo Hatake's disciple.
Minato Namikaze asked, "Naruko, how old are you now?"
"Eight."
At a glance, it was the world eight years later.
"So that's how it is..."
"Naruko, let's have a proper talk..."
Minato Namikaze and his wife decided to have a proper
