"Karot, do you know something?"
When it comes to the safety of his wife and children Minato Namikaze can no longer remain calm.
"I know a little bit, but don't worry, I'll protect Naruto and Kushina."
Karot assured Minato that Urashiki could appear at any time, Karot did not want to change the plan.
"Was the Lord Hokage involved as well?"
"Yes, Orochimaru and I plan to capture that visitor from the future alive."
Upon hearing that Orochimaru was involved, Minato knew he was no longer able to influence the situation.
"I'd like to join your project, is that alright?"
Since he couldn't resist, he decided to join in. Minato's idea was quite simple.
"You don't need to do that. With me here, nothing will go wrong."
"I'm still worried; those are my family!"
Minato's words were filled with resolve. Karot could only share the information he knew with Minato.
From Karot's words Otsutsuki, Minato learned of the existence of the Otsutsuki clan and how they treated them like livestock. He also learned that other life existed besides their own planet. All this information overwhelmed Minato's mind.
"It's too cruel. Using a life-bearing planet as nourishment for their evolution, is there any need for such a race to exist?"
Although Minato has not yet met any members of the Otsutsuki clan, he is already filled with resentment towards them.
"Minato- senpai, welcome to the team."
Karot extended his hand to Minato grasped it. From that moment on, Karot officially Karot Minato's side. Karot highly valued Minato's talent and intelligence analysis abilities.
Minato now realizes that Karot and Orochimaru have been preparing to deal with extraterrestrial visitors all along, and he is very happy to be able to join Minato.
"Then I'll head back now. I'm afraid Kushina might wake up if I stay out too long."
After Karot, Minato left immediately.
"Hurry up and come here, Urashiki. Let me see just how powerful you are, that you can actually make two of the Ninja World's top experts unable to handle you."
"Are you back yet? You've been gone for quite a while!"
Sasuke has been waiting for Minato Namikaze to return, as Minato's return will determine Minato's attitude towards him. This is also a problem that Sasuke has been worried about, since Minato is using his wife and children as bait.
After Minato returned, he didn't take any action, and Sasuke already knew Minato's plan. Minato wanted to remain calm and wait for any eventuality. This made Sasuke even more interested in Karot. The fact that he could persuade Minato to stay put showed that Karot held an extraordinary position in Konoha.
"Why aren't you in my timeline? Karot, if you were in my timeline, then the Uchiha Clan, my brother, father, and mother would definitely be alive and well."
Sasuke was clearly somewhat possessed at this moment.
The next morning, Naruto took Boruto out to play. After all, it's the age of youth, a time for playing. Meanwhile, Sasuke was secretly protecting the two of them from the shadows.
"Kushina, I don't have any missions lately, so I can spend more time with you."
When only Minato and Kushina remained, Minato revealed his excuse: it was all to protect Kushina.
"Really? Minato?"
"You haven't had a holiday in ages."
Her husband was either helping Orochimaru with government affairs or going out on missions, so he was rarely at home, and sometimes she wouldn't see him more than a few times a month.
Although Kushina knew that Minato must have had a reason for doing this, Kushina, who was the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki and had learned the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu, was no naive girl. On the contrary, her keen insight was no less Minato Namikaze's.
But as long as I can be with Minato, I think playing the naive and innocent type isn't so bad.
The couple went out happily.
For the past few days, Konoha remained peaceful. Naruto introduced Boruto to his friends, and they got along very well. During this time, Boruto even became Naruto's love mentor, helping Naruto and Hinata Hyuga to get closer. Boruto couldn't accept that his parents in this timeline weren't around. This earned him the Byakugan of the Hyuga brothers, who practically wanted to kill Naruto and Boruto.
Thanks to Boruto's efforts Hinata Hyuga no longer blushes and faints whenever she sees Naruto, and they can now have normal conversations. However, she can't hide her love for Naruto. Unfortunately, Naruto, being a clueless guy, simply doesn't understand love.
Meanwhile, Minato was exhausted. He discovered that women's talent for shopping was simply unmatched. Even with Minato's physical abilities, he couldn't last two days. It was even more exaggerated when Kushina asked him to beat up her best friend Mikoto.
Even Fugaku Uchiha was dragged along by Mikoto to go shopping, and the two men felt a sense of mutual appreciation at that moment.
"Fugaku, if you can't hold on any longer, you can call Mikoto to go back."
Minato, seeing Fugaku Uchiha's exhausted appearance, spoke up.
"Minato, I think you should just tell Kushina to go home! Look at you, all sweaty, you can't hold on any longer!"
At this moment, the man's damned competitive spirit was at play. Although they were good friends, a man can't admit defeat. They both forced themselves to stay alert and followed behind their wives. They were both wealthy. Fugaku Uchiha owned numerous properties for rent; this amount of money was nothing to him. Minato, on the other hand, was an elite Jonin of Konoha, carrying out S-rank missions. He had bought a villa even before marriage, demonstrating his immense earning power. Minato, however, was even more powerful than Kushina, inheriting all the resources of the Uzumaki Clan of Uzumaki Country—a true heiress. It's a pity Minato didn't know how delicious Minato was to be a kept woman; otherwise, he could have retired long ago.
Let's go get something to eat!
Kushina asked Mikoto what she meant.
"Great! Now that you mention it, I'm a little hungry."
Mikoto immediately agreed.
Then the two women each called their husbands.
"What's wrong, Kushina? Aren't you going to keep shopping? I still have plenty of energy."
Minato had completely changed from his tired appearance after the fight; he looked energetic and lively, as if the image of him being too exhausted to say another word was just a figment of his imagination.
Not to be outdone, Fugaku immediately snatched the shopping bag from Minato 'Mikoto hand.
"Mikoto, this street is on me. You and Kushina can wander around as much as you want, and I'll pay for everything."
I can't help but say this Fugaku Uchiha said domineeringly. Seeing the sparkle in his wife's eyes, Fugaku felt incredibly satisfied. He didn't forget to give Minato a provocative look.
"Damn it, he got me."
Minato thought to himself, "That damn rich bastard."
