Minato Namikaze: Only a Little Weaker Than Kanami? Naruto Was Otsutsuki-Level Too!

"Because I can't tell you he's the Fourth Hokage's son."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "If I said it out loud, can you guarantee that when you're ostracized by your comrades, you won't have to shout out that your father is the Fourth Hokage?"

Naruto Uzumaki fell silent upon hearing this.

He knew that, given his personality, if he were bullied by those kids from his childhood, he would definitely be unable to resist shouting that his father was the Hokage.

However, he always felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi was wrong and that he had the right to know.

Even if such a problem arises, so what?

"Third Hokage, stop instilling your twisted ideas into Naruto!"

Minato Namikaze Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"So what if the villagers find out that the Nine-Tails Fox Jinchuriki is my son? Even if some people think there's something wrong with me because of it, most people will still think that Naruto Uzumaki is the son of a hero!"

"I just want Naruto to have some abilities and to live An'an life."

"I'm sorry, Minato, it was my oversight at the time..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his head in shame.

"You're not being inconsiderate; you just think that as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will ever know about this in their entire lives. This secret could take you to the Yomi."

Minato Namikaze said coldly.

And that is indeed the case.

Without the Impure World Reincarnation, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have essentially brought this secret into the Pure Land.

If Naruto Uzumaki wants to know who his parents are, he can only rely on the restriction on the Nine-Tails within his body.

Only when the Nine-Tails- Tails unleashes its power against the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails will it be possible for the Nine-Tails to learn about its origins.

Thanks to the presence of Kanami, Naruto Uzumaki has basically never experienced the Tail-Exploding attack.

Therefore, there is a high probability that he will never know that his father was actually the Fourth Hokage.

Why did this happen...?

Naruto Uzumaki covered his head and muttered to himself.

Just then, a voice echoed in his heart.

A pair of scarlet eyes stared at Naruto Uzumaki on the ground. "Naruto, you know now, this world is fake. Only I am real. Be angry! Come on, tear up that piece of paper, and I can come out and share your pain!"

Let me help you relieve your pain!

The Nine-Tails' deep voice resounded throughout Naruto Uzumaki's consciousness.

Naruto Uzumaki raised his head in confusion.

The entire blue pupil suddenly shifted towards scarlet and black.

"R-really?"

"Certainly..."

The Nine-Tails only told half of what it was saying.

A ray of golden light flashed before his eyes.

"Naruto, don't listen to it."

Minato Namikaze!

Nine-Tails) was instantly enraged when it saw the familiar robes of the Fourth Hokage.

"You're already dead, why are you interfering with me!"

"Bang!"

The Nine-Tails Claws slammed its enormous claw onto the Dark-Gold Iron Gate, producing a dull thud.

"You are... Dad?"

Naruto Uzumaki's pupils, which were about to be swallowed up, gradually returned to their normal, azure blue.

Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded at Naruto Uzumaki, then stood up and looked at Nine-Tails- Tails), "Is half of Nine-Tails still so powerful?"

"Tap tap."

Stepping across the water to stand before the large iron gate, Minato Namikaze quickly Hand Seals.

Soon, another piece of paper was pasted on top of the first piece of paper in the very center of the large iron gate, along with a new Sealing Jutsu.

"Boom!"

The Nine-Tails, which had been placing its Claws on the large iron gate, was instantly paralyzed by the electric shock emanating from the gate and immediately withdrew its Claws.

"Damn it! What did you do!"

"It's just been reinforced. You just stay inside quietly."

Minato Namikaze finished speaking, he instantly returned to Naruto Uzumaki's side, then pulled Naruto Uzumaki.

Soon there was no more movement on the water.

"Damn it! Minato Namikaze!"

The Nine-Tails Fox roared loudly.

But no one responded to it anymore, and soon its eyes closed automatically, and it fell asleep again.

Outside, Minato Namikaze opened his eyes, followed closely by Naruto Uzumaki.

"What... is wrong with me?"

"It's alright now."

Minato Namikaze smiled slightly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi his head:...

He didn't know what else he could do.

Nothing can make up for it.

Iruka Sensei was also assigned by him to take care of Naruto Uzumaki, so we need to keep a close eye on Naruto Uzumaki.

He believed that this was the best thing he could do at the time.

Besides that, he certainly didn't take good enough care of Naruto.

"Dad... what about now? How did you get summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation? What happened?"

Naruto Uzumaki was a little uncomfortable, after all, he hadn't used such a nickname for so many years.

But after he forced himself to shout it out despite the discomfort, he felt incredibly excited and secretly delighted.

Minato Namikaze was also very excited upon hearing this title. "Yes! Orochimaru summoned us. I heard from Kanami that the Shinobi World might be invaded by Extraterrestrials, and they need our power. You should know this Kanami, right?"

"Kanami! I know him! It's him again! How come he walked ahead of me again!"

Naruto Uzumaki pouted, slightly displeased.

Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Does Naruto mean that the two of them are rivals?

So, does that mean my son Naruto is about the same strength as that guy Kanami?

Does that mean my son is already a Transcendent -Kage-level powerhouse?!

Judging from Naruto's words alone, it certainly seems to be this situation.

It's like two partners making progress together.

However, Naruto's perspective has always been limited to the time at the Ninja Academy.

After all, it was only at that time that Kanami and Naruto Uzumaki were evenly matched.

One is second to last, and the other is last.

"Naruto, are you at the Kage-level right now?!"

Minato Namikaze asked.

"Kage- Kage-level?" Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head. "I don't know my strength either, but I'm probably a little weaker than Kanami."

"Only slightly weaker than Kanami?!"

Minato Namikaze immediately became excited.

Kanami is now at the Six Paths level!

Although he didn't yet understand how powerful the Six Paths level could be, it was definitely stronger than the Otsutsuki.

According to Tsunade's previous descriptions, even Otsutsuki Hashirama Senju believed he wasn't entirely confident he could defeat the Otsutsuki, given their abilities. Yet, Kanami, at the Six Paths level, did it.

If Naruto is only slightly weaker than Kanami, then he's at least the strongest person below the Six Paths!

He's at least on par with the Otsutsuki in terms of strength!

"Naruto! You're amazing!"

Naruto Uzumaki: "???"

"Huh? What's so great about me? I'm only slightly weaker than Kanami, not slightly stronger."

He scratched his head, puzzled.

He had no idea that Kanami had already reached the level of Six Paths level expert.

He still believed that Kanami was stronger than both him and Uchiha Sasuke.

But it's only that much stronger.

He even thought that Kanami couldn't Tsunade.

After all, in his eyes, the Hokage is the most awesome!

Just then, Kanami and Hinata Hyuga appeared side by side in Naruto Uzumaki's room.

"Fourth Hokage, so you really did come to see Naruto."
