Before this, the sealing patterns beneath the three of them had also vanished amid a crimson glow. Naruto and Kushina, who had just disappeared into the spatial fluctuations, gradually closed their eyes.
Only Mirai watched as the distortions and ripples in space etched themselves deeply into his mind...
"The power of time and space... it really is...!?"
Mirai did not erase his own memories. This unexpected encounter with Naruto left him deeply concerned about several things.
First was the Nine-Tails within the child. History had clearly changed, so why was the Nine-Tails still sealed inside him?
Moreover, Naruto had become a jinchūriki, yet Kushina's life was not in danger.
He also wondered whether he was the only one who knew, or whether, in the coming decades, others besides him would suspect or even deduce his rebirth.
Lastly, there were the changes involving time and space... Mirai was already among the finest S-rank space-time ninja, wielding Flying Thunder God.
His improvements to the Flying Thunder God Technique would not stop, but after witnessing these changes firsthand, he might be able to open a new door.
Mirai had no intention of changing the future, but he knew its history. As long as he merely knew that history, everything should still remain under control.
"I... what happened?" Kushina slowly opened her eyes beside him, turning her head slightly to look at Mirai's profile.
"You were too exhausted from the battle just now."
Mirai said that he had erased Kushina's memories of Naruto, though he had not completely erased her memories of fighting Anrokuzan.
Likewise, he had sealed away the memories of everyone in Rōran.
"Oh..."
Kushina responded softly, then lightly shook her head and looked around. A faint sense of confusion still lingered in her heart.
"The mission is complete. We should leave."
