In front of Kushina, Minato Namikaze displayed the perfect side of a ninja. He was practically a doting husband.
After all, he was a man who could choose to "die together" for the sake of his beloved and the village. He had earned the recognition and loyalty of most of Konoha's ninja, though his expectations and demands toward his own descendant had been a little too harsh.
The Nine-Tails was Naruto's greatest cheat, but it was also the curse that had caused his miserable childhood.
As long as his identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki remained unchanged, the ninja who knew the truth would instinctively fear Naruto, who held a Tailed Beast imprisoned within him. Coupled with the Third Hokage's deliberate concealment and exploitation of the hero's son identity, it had led Naruto to choose to leave Konoha.
After comforting Kushina for a while, Minato Namikaze walked over to Naruto and extended his fist.
Naruto raised his fist as well. As their fists collided, the Yin-Yang Nine-Tails, separated for so long, finally completed their fusion. Naruto immediately felt the Nine-Tails Chakra within him increase by an entire level.
Listening to the cheerful fox cries in his ears, Naruto's mouth twitched slightly.
The Nine-Tails' image in his heart had changed from aloof and cool to somewhat unhinged. Whether it was the collapse of morality or the distortion of human nature, in any case, it had little to do with him.
Just then, two notification chimes rang in Naruto's ears, informing him of Kushina and Minato's favorability.
Kushina's favorability was full. She trusted him unconditionally and supported his decisions. Minato's favorability, however, was merely approval, making Naruto glance at him a few more times.
It seemed that although Minato had handed over half of the Nine-Tails, his thoughts still differed somewhat from Naruto's.
