Naruto suddenly spoke up, "Master, I want to talk to you alone~" Upon hearing this, both Uchiha Kō and Namikaze Minato were stunned. Uchiha Kō narrowed his eyes, pondering what Naruto wanted to do.
On the other hand, Namikaze Minato was already in a big mess. What could be so important that I couldn't hear it? Why did I have to talk to him privately? Uchiha Kō thought for a moment and then agreed.
"Alright, since Naruto wants to speak with his master alone, let's go." With that, Uchiha Kō led the way to the study alone. Namikaze Minato glanced at Naruto and said, "Watch your words later, don't upset your master."
Naruto nodded. "I will!" After saying that, Naruto followed. For some reason, when Namikaze Minato looked at Naruto's back at that moment, he felt that his aura was completely different from before, and even somewhat similar to his teacher.
However, he quickly shook his head. No, Naruto is just a child, how could that be? He must have seen wrong. At this moment, Tsunade came downstairs and saw Minato standing alone in the hall, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Minato, where's your teacher?" Tsunade looked around but couldn't find Uchiha Kō.
Namikaze Minato, in his best draw, said, "He was talking to Naruto in the study." He then pointed to the study. Hearing this, Namikaze Minato Tsunade. "Sit down, Minato. I'll make you some tea."
"Ahem, thank you, Master's wife!" Minato stood up and bowed. Tsunade smiled and went to make tea. Although she didn't know what her husband and Naruto were talking about, she figured it must be something good, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Walk into the study
Uchiha Kō sat in the head chair, legs crossed, and pointed to the seat in front of him, saying, "Naruto, what's the matter?"
Naruto sat in his chair, his large eyes fixed on Uchiha Kō without the slightest fear. This aroused Uchiha Kō's admiration. It must be said that he was indeed the protagonist of the original work; such courage and composure were truly admirable.
"Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Kō, may I address you as such?" Naruto asked slowly.
"Of course, the Seventh Hokage, Naruto." After Uchiha Kō finished speaking, Naruto's pupils widened, and he suddenly stood up, knocking over the stool behind him.
Tsunade was passing by, heard the voice and quickly asked, "Honey, are you alright? Honey!"
Uchiha Kō glanced at Naruto was covered in sweat and looked incredulous, and slowly said, "It's okay, honey. Naruto just lost his balance and fell. I'm helping him up."
Hearing this, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, you guys chat first, I'll go pour Minato a pot of tea." Listening to the footsteps fading into the distance, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat back down in the chair he had just been sitting in.
This time, his momentum faltered considerably. He asked, "You, how did you know?" His eyes were filled with disbelief. Apart from himself, no one else knew about this rebirth.
Instead of answering that question, Uchiha Kō posed another. "Do you know that there are countless parallel universes in this world? Every choice, every action, will affect the entire course of this world."
"You, Naruto, were the protagonist of your era, while I, Uchiha Kō, am the protagonist of my era," Uchiha Kō said slowly.
"The two spaces have certain similarities and are not subject to interference, but an accident happened in my world some time ago, which caused a slight connection with your world. It was through this slight connection that your soul was reborn into my era." Uchiha Kō said a lot of things that sounded like tongue twisters.
However, Naruto clearly took it to heart. He understood one thing: this era was the era of the Uchiha Kō, and life here was similar to theirs, but not exactly the same.
Uchiha Kō would like to add one more thing: he was an intruder. Given this, how would Uchiha Kō deal with himself, a product that shouldn't belong to this era?
Naruto took a deep breath. "Then, do you know how to send me back to my own timeline?"
"Return to your own timeline? You mean the timeline that was sealed away in the Daikokuten by your adopted son and is in a state of absolute stillness?" Uchiha Kō mocked.
Naruto looked grim. Indeed, before he was teleported here, he was sealed away by his adopted son. If there was any correct era, it was that time. But he was unwilling to accept it, and he didn't want to live such a wretched life.
"I..." Naruto hesitated, unable to finish his sentence. The fatherly and motherly love in this world was something he had never experienced. He was deeply immersed in it, and he knew about the future of the Ninja World. Originally, he thought that knowing about the future of the Ninja World would allow him to do better.
But now it seems that Uchiha Kō has done enough. He doesn't need to carry out his own reforms anymore. Konoha today is as Konoha as it was in their time!
"Actually, you don't need to worry about any impact you might have on my timeline, because as long as I'm here, Konoha will remain united. I believe you can see my strength as well—a half-step Six Paths level."
"There are still more than twenty years until the Otsutsuki invasion. By then, there will be very few people who can reach the Six Paths level of combat power. If you are willing to stay and help me, I will be very grateful to you." Uchiha Kō persuaded him with both emotion and reason.
Naruto was taken aback. He began to consider the veracity of what Uchiha Kō had said, but one sentence from Uchiha Kō completely won him over.
"After I've wiped out the Ōtsutsuki Clan in our timeline, I'll help you return to your timeline, eliminate all the Otsutsuki in your timeline, and let you live a happy life. How about that?" Uchiha Kō's words moved Naruto.
Without further hesitation, he nodded, "Okay! I believe you!" After hearing what Uchiha Kō, Naruto felt that this timeline wasn't quite right for him, after all, he still had his wife, his daughter, and his son.
He longs to return to his own time and space rather than to the present.
"Alright, since that's the case, then you should focus on your training as you see fit and try to recover your former strength as soon as possible. However, you still need to keep your identity a secret from outsiders, including your father and my disciple. You can't tell them anything," Uchiha Kō said.
"Don't worry, I understand. However, once you've eliminated the Ōtsutsuki Clan, please don't forget what you said: send me back and help me deal with the Otsutsuki and the Karma!"
"Definitely!" After saying that, the two understood each other without saying a word. Naruto pretended to be a child again, his eyes were a little red and tears were falling. Uchiha Kō told him that he had fallen earlier and that he should leave a mark, otherwise it would be bad if people noticed.
Naruto said, "I know how to do that!" Within two seconds, tears streamed down his face, leaving Uchiha Kō completely stunned. "Good heavens, what the hell is that Kotoamatsukami? I can't even match his acting skills!"
The two of them walked out like that.
Uchiha Kō spoke first, "I'm sorry, Minato, I wasn't watching the child properly, and he fell!"
"No, no, teacher, Naruto just tripped and fell by accident. He didn't offend you, did he, teacher?" Namikaze Minato said cautiously.
Uchiha Kō chuckled and shook his head, then squatted down and stroked Naruto's cheek. "Naruto's a good kid. Talking to him lets me know that he'll definitely amount to something in the future! Minato, you'd better raise your son well!"
Namikaze Minato's expression first showed joy, then turned serious. "I understand, teacher. I will teach Naruto well from now on and strive to make him a great person like you!"
Uchiha Kō waved his hand, "What big shot is this? We're all just serving the village." After talking with Minato chuckled and pulled Naruto away.
Before leaving, Naruto Uchiha Kō a deep look, Uchiha Kō nodded in response. Naruto then turned and followed his father out of the Hokage Villa.
"Ding! Host, you're really good at conning people. You managed to trick a protagonist from a rebirth story into becoming an invader, and the key is that he actually believed it! Reward: Golden Rinnegan fully unlocked, third skill Annihilation. Everything your eyes see—people, things, and the universe—will be instantly Annihilation. Duration: three minutes, cooldown: twenty years."
Uchiha Kō immediately felt his half-step into the Six Paths realm loosen, and he completely stepped into the Six Paths realm!
Naruto, who was in the distance, shuddered. He was horrified. "This guy has some kind of cheat code? We just had a conversation, and he's already at the Six Paths Realm?" Although he didn't know what Uchiha Kō's abilities were, this aura was definitely that of a genuine Six Paths Realm cultivator.
Others may not know what level Uchiha Kō had reached, but they are happy to know that Uchiha Kō's strength has reached a new level.
Uchiha Kō opened his eyes, his Golden Rinnegan shining brightly. He blinked once, and then returned to normal.
"System, why so fast this time?" Uchiha Kō laughed.
"Ding, originally, the protagonist of a rebirth story would take away the host's luck when he came to this time and space. However, the host managed to persuade the protagonist of the rebirth story to give up his luck in this time and space. The system then used this luck to upgrade the host's Rinnegan." The system obviously did not expect the host's strange operation to succeed by accident.
Uchiha Kō chuckled. "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key, it's all basic stuff, don't be silly."
After talking to the system for a while, Uchiha Kō returned to the villa, had breakfast with Tsunade, and then went to the Hokage Building. This matter was really troublesome; they had been discussing it for three days already.
Kumogakure
Young Lord A walked down the street, with Darui following behind him, and the two were talking.
"Darui, do you think Hokage Uchiha Kō will come?" Young Lord A sighed. His move was to borrow Uchiha Kō's momentum to warn Iwagakure not to act rashly. If Uchiha Kō didn't come, then all of this would be in vain.
"He will come. As far as I know, he is a very talented Kage and will not stand idly by while Iwagakure grows stronger. He will come to counterbalance Iwagakure!" Darui laughed.
