Karot's words struck Minato like a bolt from the Minato.
"How could my son have the Chakra the Sage of Six Paths' son inside him? Is it a reincarnation or a conspiracy?"
Minato's expression shifted between light and dark, but he quickly returned to normal.
Seeing how quickly Minato processed the news, Karot couldn't help but admire him.
"As expected of a ninja who made a name for himself in the Ninja World, his incredible endurance is truly remarkable."
Will this have any side effects on Naruto?
After calming down, Minato Namikaze's first concern was his son's safety.
"Well, with that kind of Chakra, it'd be hard for him to die."
This is the treatment of a protagonist! With the Six Paths of Hell as his backer, he can practically do whatever he wants in the current Ninja World.
"By the way, tell Jiraiya to stop searching for some Child of Destiny. He can't even see one right in front of him. Jiraiya should first get his eyes treated."
Karot was unaware that after defeating the Toad Sage, the future timeline would no longer be visible.
"My son is destined to bring about change in the Ninja World?"
Karot's words completely stunned him. Jiraiya regarded Minato as the Child of Destiny and hadn't left the village for a long time, always following behind Tsunade. The old tree had blossomed again. Of course, Karot didn't know any of this. Having been away from the village for so many years, and because of Karot's presence, the development of the Hokage world in his mind had changed. This was exactly what Karot had hoped for; Karot just hadn't realized it yet.
"You don't think it's you, do you?"
Minato blushed, feeling a little embarrassed. He really did have that feeling, Jiraiya also thought so, which was why Minato had been working hard to become that Child of Destiny.
Seeing the appearance of the Minato, Karot already knew the answer.
"Karot, can you help Naruto master a third power?"
"Minato pleaded," he said. "After all, only Karot noticed it."
Do you know why I created this air shield to surround the two of us?
"I know, it's to prevent others from eavesdropping."
"Haven't you realized the seriousness of the problem? With the two of us, is it really necessary to go to this extent?"
Minato immediately realized what was happening.
"Yes, and this is in Konoha."
Seeing the change in Minato's expression, Karot knew that he already knew the answer.
"It's the Sage of Six Paths. Is he still alive?"
"You could say he's dead, or you could say he's not. He exists in this Ninja World in a special way, overlooking Ninja World development. He's a cunning old fox."
"Hiss."
Minato gasped. He hadn't expected to hear such explosive news here.
"Karot, do you think you can beat him?"
Upon learning that the Sage of Six Paths was still alive, Minato's first thought was whether Karot could defeat him. If the Sage of Six Paths were to personally intervene, someone would have to be able to subdue him, and Minato believed that only Karot could do so.
"I don't know until I've fought it, but I'm invincible."
Karot possessed only boundless self-confidence.
Hearing Karot's words, Minato's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down.
"Do I have any way to deal with the Sage of Six Paths?"
It's better to have your own than to rely on your parents. Minato couldn't place all his hopes on Karot; he needed to have his own means of countering Carrot.
"Have."
Minato was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Tell me more about it."
"You should know that Chakra is a cultivation technique passed down from the Sage of Six Paths, so there's no way to deal with him."
Minato nodded, agreeing with Karot's statement.
"Your Sage Mode is capable of dealing with the Sage of Six Paths. Sage Mode absorbs the power of nature, and its energy level is higher than Chakra."
"You mean the Sage of Six Paths used a power level higher than Chakra?"
Karot had to admire Minato's intellect! He deduced this information simply from Karot's words.
"Yes. Because he is Six Paths level expert, and his power has evolved."
Since he had already brought it up, Karot decided to start explaining the ranks to Minato from the beginning.
"I see!"
Karot's words broadened Minato's knowledge.
"Karot, please help Naruto master the power of his body."
"Didn't I already tell you, Minato- senpai?"
Karot wouldn't risk attracting the Sage of Six Paths' attention now just to help Minato.
"That's not what I meant. I just want you to help Naruto control the power of the Nine-Tails within him."
Upon hearing what that meant, Karot became interested. After all, he was just killing time anyway, so petting the fox wouldn't be a bad idea!
"Sure, but my training is extremely rigorous. Be prepared. And the salary includes meals."
Upon hearing the words "food included," Minato knew this wasn't a simple problem; it was the sound of bankruptcy and despair.
"Can."
Minato those two words, Minato shed tears of sorrow.
"Naruto! You must master your skills! Otherwise, your old man will suffer a great loss."
Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Technique in an attempt to leave this place of sorrow, but no matter what he did, he could not sense the power of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Um?"
"What's going on? Why is my Flying Thunder God malfunctioning?"
Minato exclaimed in surprise, "This is the first time the Flying Thunder God has failed to work!"
"Oh, I forgot to retract this energy shield. Sorry, Minato- senpai."
Karot said somewhat embarrassedly, after all, he hadn't expected Minato to want to leave so soon.
Karot snapped his fingers, and Minato, sensing the mark he had left on the house, immediately left, having made a huge fool of himself here.
After seeing Minato leave, Karot called out towards the door.
"Come in! Eavesdropping on other people's conversations isn't like you, Kakashi!"
That's right, Kakashi knew as soon as Minato entered. Kakashi and Minato had both learned the Flying Thunder God and had a keen sense of spatial power.
"Can you tell me about your conversation with the teacher, brother?"
Kakashi could still hear it at first, but as soon as Karot released his energy shield, he couldn't hear anything at all.
"It will be dangerous for you, Kakashi."
Karot didn't want Kakashi involved; Kakashi Karot encounter even the slightest danger.
"You have to give me a goal!"
Kakashi insisted.
Seeing his younger brother's determined look, Karot knew Kakashi wouldn't listen to him. He couldn't just ignore his brother, so he decided it was better to guide him than to suppress him.
"I'll tell you once you've mastered the Flying Thunder God."
Even if you can't win a fight after learning the Flying Thunder God, running away shouldn't be a problem.
"Okay, remember what you said."
After Kakashi finished speaking, he went to his room.
"It's finally quiet. Don't you think so, Father?"
The Hatake Clan is really lively tonight! There are even two people eavesdropping.
"I don't know, I was sleeping."
Hatake Sakumo yawned and then heard his footsteps returning to his room.
"Now I can finally go to sleep."
Karot fell asleep the moment his head hit the bed.
