Minato Namikaze: Has Naruto been doing well?

Time flies.

The more you wish time would slow down, the faster it seems to fly by.

It's like a holiday.

That's the current situation for Kanami and his group.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

In the Mask Hall of the Uzumaki Clan, which is also the place where the Shinigami Masks are kept.

Orochimaru started exploiting bugs.

And then, using a bug related to the Orochimaru Shinigami, Orochimaru, wearing the Shinigami mask, slashed his own stomach.

The souls of the two Hokage sealed within the Shinigami have been released.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At the same time Orochimaru had entered the White Zetsu's body, used the Impure World Reincarnation to summon the two souls into the prepared White Zetsu's body.

"Impure World Reincarnation!"

As Orochimaru slammed his hand on the ground, the black runes on the ground instantly lit up.

The four White Zetsu were instantly wrapped in paper.

The next second, it transformed into the appearance of four Hokage.

He suddenly stood up.

The four: Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze.

"Am I... resurrected?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at his body in astonishment.

"It's the Impure World Reincarnation! Someone actually used Ninjutsu that Big Brother had already banned."

Tobirama Senju his arms and said coldly.

"I didn't expect even I to be resurrected... Is there something you want with us?"

Minato Namikaze scratched his face.

"You are... Tsunade?!"

Hashirama Senju turned around, stared at Tsunade for a moment, and finally remembered.

However, the two of them have changed quite a bit.

In his memory, Tsunade was still a child; now she's grown up so much!

But he soon felt something was strange.

"No, normally Tsunade should be around fifty years old by now, right?"

Hashirama Senju asked, puzzled.

"But Tsunade in front of me looks to be only in her early twenties..."

Tsunade: "..."

"Grandpa, it really is me."

If someone else were to say her age, she would explode at this point.

But it was Hashirama Senju, her grandfather, who was talking about her age, so she didn't dare say anything.

Orochimaru? You're still alive?

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned as he looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly. "Long time no see, Master. Sealing my hands back then certainly caused me a lot of inconvenience."

"So, Tsunade, why did you have Orochimaru summon us?"

Hashirama Senju spoke up and asked.

Tsunade nodded slightly. "If it weren't for something important, I certainly wouldn't use such an unethical Forbidden Jutsu to bother Grandpa. The main issue is that there's a matter concerning the safety of the Shinobi World right now..."

"Therefore, we have no choice but to summon you to the mortal world to help us."

"Hmph, you wouldn't be trying to make us fight for you, would you?"

Tobirama Senju spoke with obvious displeasure.

As the creator of magic, being summoned by his own Ninjutsu, his heart was filled with complex emotions.

"Second Grandfather is right, because an enemy has appeared in the Shinobi World that we cannot handle..."

Tobirama Senju unhappily, "I never thought I'd be dragged back to fight even after I've died!"

"Alright, Tobirama, in the end, wasn't this Impure World Reincarnation created by you?"

Once Hashirama Senju opened his mouth to reprimand him, Tobirama Senju fell silent.

He turned his head to the side.

"Wait a minute, that's not right. It's one thing for the monkey to die, but how come the Fourth Hokage, who was so young, also died?"

Hashirama Senju looked at Minato Namikaze.

The Fourth Hokage symbol was clearly visible on the other person's back.

She looked very young, only in her early twenties. How could someone so young die?

Minato Namikaze chuckled, "Back then, Konoha Village was attacked by enemies. He died protecting the village..."

"Protecting the village, that's excellent!"

Hashirama Senju smiled and gave Minato Namikaze a thumbs-up. "By the way, how did you die?"

"I died while sealing the Nine-Tails..."

"Huh? Nine-Tails?"

Hashirama Senju's expression was strange.

Can that thing kill people?

Isn't it something I, the Wood Human, could easily pick up with one hand?

Although he sensed something was amiss, he didn't voice it.

He could understand.

After all, the Fifth Hokage Hokage was Tsunade, which is enough to show that the Ninja not only haven't improved, but their strength has actually declined.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been Impure World Reincarnation using Edo Tensei, intending to rely on them to save the Shinobi World.

"Tell me, what exactly happened in the Shinobi World?"

Hashirama Senju asked.

Tsunade nodded and began to give a brief account of the recent events involving the Otsutsuki.

While they were talking about the Otsutsuki, Kanami found Minato Namikaze and said, "Fourth Hokage, may I come with you for a moment?"

"I?"

Minato Namikaze pointed to himself.

After thinking about it, I followed them.

Kanami and Minato Namikaze quickly went outside.

What do you want from me?

Minato Namikaze sized up Kanami.

Judging from his age, he's probably around the same age as my Naruto, right?

"Do you... know Naruto Uzumaki?"

Kanami nodded. "Yes, I know him. He's my classmate."

Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up instantly. "How is Naruto Uzumaki now? Has he become Konoha Hero?"

At this point, he felt something was amiss, so he asked, "Have you become Jonin?"

"Is he happier or sadder more often than he is?"

Have you become someone who can stand on your own?

For a while, Minato Namikaze asked a lot of questions, but in reality, he didn't ask any questions at all.

In short, it all boils down to this: Is Naruto doing well?

Looking at Minato Namikaze's expectant expression, Kanami really wanted to tell him that Naruto had already accomplished all of this, but there was no need.

Lies will eventually be exposed, and he really didn't want to hide what the Hiruzen Sarutobi, had done to Naruto Uzumaki.

Kanami looked intently at Minato Namikaze, "Naruto Uzumaki didn't become Konoha Hero, nor did he become Jonin. He appeared happy on the surface every day, but he was probably sad more behind the scenes. However, he became someone who could stand on his own."

His last words were not meant to comfort him.

It's the truth.

Naruto Uzumaki overcame being ostracized as a child, is now a capable and independent individual.
