"Naruto!"
The moment the door opened, Kushina pounced toward him.
She crowded close to him, looking him over from left to right, checking whether Naruto had been hurt.
"You seem to have gotten thinner these past few days."
Kushina looked at Naruto with heartache in her eyes.
"..."
"How could I possibly get thinner..."
Naruto was somewhat speechless. With his current physique, as long as he did not want it, his body would basically no longer undergo any changes.
So things like getting thinner or fatter were simply impossible.
Perhaps this was just how parents saw their children.
"Alright, sit down first. We have serious business to discuss."
"Okay~ Huh? Who's this?"
Kushina had just been about to find a seat when she finally noticed Obito Uchiha, who had been tied up.
"Why does he seem to have my Flying Thunder God Technique Mark on him?"
Minato Namikaze, who entered a step behind her, voiced his confusion as well.
Looking at Obito Uchiha's unfamiliar, twisted face, filled with panic and despair, as well as those hollow, deep eye sockets.
Minato Namikaze felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, yet he simply could not remember who this man before him, stripped of his limbs, was.
Naruto said nothing more. Chakra gathered in his hand, condensing into a tiger-striped mask.
In the end, he placed it over Obito Uchiha's face.
In an instant, dead memories surged back into their minds. An astonishing burst of Chakra erupted from both Minato Namikaze and Kushina.
"Madara... Uchiha!"
Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth, as though he had forced those words out through the gaps between them.
The two of them stared at Obito Uchiha with eyes full of hatred and killing intent.
If one were to ask who ranked first among the people this couple hated most.
