Naruto: Starting with Asura Chakra

After the two bodies appeared, Orochimaru didn't stop. Instead, he changed hand seals and began forming the signs for Impure World Reincarnation.

Once he finished the hand seals, the yellow orb of light in Naruto's hand began to tremble violently. Seeing this, Naruto dispersed his spiritual energy.

As soon as Naruto dispersed his spiritual energy, the orb shot toward Minato's body. At the same time, Minato vanished from the Sealing Space inside Naruto.

After leaving Naruto's body, Minato in the Sealing Space also became an orb of light, only his was red.

The red orb quickly flew toward the yellow one. Before entering the body, the two orbs merged, forming an orange-red orb twice as large as before.

Then the orb flew into Minato's body. A moment later, Minato's body turned into something like dust and flew toward the White Zetsu lying on the ground.

The dust completely enveloped the White Zetsu. Before long, it split apart, and Minato's figure appeared inside.

His eyes were still closed. No one disturbed him; they simply waited quietly.

A moment later, Minato opened his eyes, a complicated look in them. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Naruto, who stood nearby, and said, "Naruto, I'm sorry. I know everything now."

The soul inside Naruto wasn't Minato's original soul. When the two soul fragments merged just now, Minato's original soul had received all the memories from this period.

Naruto shook his head. "Dad, you've already apologized. I forgave you a long time ago."

Minato said nothing more. He walked over to Jiraiya and bowed.

Jiraiya didn't say anything. After helping him back up, the two stood side by side. There was still more to do.

Orochimaru continued forming hand seals. Unlike Minato, Kushina's soul had remained in the Underworld, so after Orochimaru finished the seals, she emerged from thin air.

Seeing this, Kushina's soul in the Sealing Space immediately flew out to merge with her.

Just like Minato, Kushina, restored with a White Zetsu body, came to stand before Jiraiya. Before she could do anything, Jiraiya stopped her. "That's enough. If you keep this up, I'll get angry."

Minato and Kushina both laughed at that, then stopped.

At Naruto's signal, Orochimaru left with Kidomaru and Jirobo. Only Minato and Kushina, Jiraiya, Naruto, and Hinata remained.

After everyone else had left, Naruto looked at Minato and Kushina. "Welcome back, Mom and Dad. It'll still take a while for you to be fully revived, so you'll have to make do with these bodies for now."

Minato smiled and shook his head. "You've already worked hard enough. Besides, these bodies are perfect for fighting."

"That's right. After we've had some time to get used to them, we should be able to adapt completely. And I can use the jutsu I've been working on during this time," Kushina added.

Minato noticed Hinata standing nearby and walked over to her. "Hello, Hinata. I'm Naruto's father. Thank you for always taking care of him."

Hinata snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head. "Oh, no. Naruto's always the one taking care of me."

The moment Minato appeared, Hinata had noticed that he looked almost exactly like the Fourth Hokage on Kage Rock.

Then she saw the words "Fourth Hokage" on Minato's Hokage Cloak. Her mind had stopped working. When she heard Naruto call the Fourth Hokage his father, she was completely stunned. She had never heard Naruto say he was the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Seeing how nervous Hinata was, Minato spoke again. "There's no need to be nervous. If anything, you should call me your senior. I was the first disciple accepted by Teacher Jiraiya. On the day I became his student, Jiraiya gave you The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi. I was its first owner."

Hinata turned to look at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya smiled and nodded, confirming that Minato was telling the truth.

Hinata quickly bowed. "Um, hello, Senior—no, wait, um..."

Minato spoke again. "Don't worry about what to call me. Just call me whatever feels right."

Hinata took a deep breath. "I think I'll call you Uncle. Hello, Uncle Minato."

Hinata thought that if she called Minato her senior, then Naruto-kun would be... So she decided it was better to call him Uncle Minato.

Minato smiled and nodded, showing that he approved of the name.

Naruto said, "Hinata, I'll tell you everything later. Let's talk about something else for now."

Hinata nodded. Naruto turned to Jiraiya. "Pervy Sage, once Shisui gets back, we can get ready to head to Amegakure. You should prepare in advance."

Jiraiya nodded. "I've been ready for a while. I hope I can persuade him directly when the time comes."

Naruto nodded, then turned to Minato and Kushina. "Mom, Dad, spend the next few days getting used to these bodies. You may need to help out in Amegakure later."

Before Minato could answer, Kushina spoke up beside him. "Don't worry, Naruto. Your mom is really strong!"

Just then, the Communication Toad that had been sitting on the Altar spoke up. It said that Shisui Uchiha was contacting Naruto.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Waves, Shisui Uchiha was following a short, stout man. This was the target of the mission Naruto had given him.

He had found Gato's base two days earlier, but discovered that Gato hadn't kept his assets there.

So Shisui had chosen to follow Gato. Finally, that morning, after Gato's men delivered another shipment of supplies, Gato took his men to the place where the goods were stored.

From the outside, it looked like nothing more than a large cave. But after Shisui followed Gato and his men inside, he discovered that the interior had been hollowed out to create a vast space where supplies were stored.

A huge gate stood at the entrance. It appeared to be made of a special metal. Shisui watched as Gato entered a string of numbers into the keypad lock. Then, with the sound of machinery starting up, the gate slowly opened.

After the gate opened, Gato ordered his men to carry the newly delivered supplies inside. From a distance, Shisui saw piles of gold coins and all kinds of neatly arranged goods. He confirmed that this was where Gato had hidden all his assets, then took out the Communication Toad Jiraiya had given him and sent the news back.

After Naruto received the message, he said, "You all keep talking," then vanished from the spot.

When Naruto reappeared, he was beside Shisui Uchiha. Seeing Naruto arrive, Shisui pointed inside. "Gato's in there now, and they've just brought in another shipment of supplies."

"Have you identified everyone in Gato's organization?" Naruto asked.

Shisui nodded. "I've identified all of them. Most of them are here right now."

"Then let's get started. Kill everyone except Gato," Naruto said.

The two of them ran toward the people carrying supplies inside.

The people inside noticed them and hurriedly grabbed their weapons. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

But Naruto and Shisui Uchiha ignored them. They had come in such a hurry that Naruto hadn't even brought the Blood Moon, so he took out a Kunai instead. Shisui also drew the short sword strapped to his back.

Although Naruto still looked like a child and Shisui was only a teenager, the men across from them didn't underestimate them. When Gato said, "Attack," they all raised their weapons and charged at Naruto and Shisui Uchiha.

Against people who weren't even ninja, Naruto and Shisui were like tigers among a flock of sheep. Before long, corpses covered the ground, and only Gato remained, terrified and panicking.

Seeing Naruto approach with a Kunai in his hand, Gato immediately begged for mercy. "Let me go! Please, let me go! If you don't kill me, you can have all my money!"

Naruto smiled. "Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you for now."

Gato immediately dropped to his knees. "Thank you, thank you! All my money is here. It's all yours. I'll be going now."

As he started to get up, Naruto kicked him and sent him sprawling. "I said I wouldn't kill you. I didn't say I'd let you go."

Naruto paid no attention to Gato's pleas and struggles. He used the ropes that had been tying up the supplies to bind him, then tossed him into a corner.

Naruto turned to Shisui Uchiha. "Shisui, go kill everyone who isn't here, then come back."

Shisui didn't say anything. He simply nodded and headed outside.

Naruto went into the treasury. The sight inside stunned him. Almost the entire mountain had been hollowed out, and the walls all around were made of special metal.

The space was filled with all kinds of supplies. Naruto didn't inspect them right away. First, he had to transport them back.

There was too much to take back to the Altar in one trip, and there wasn't enough room there anyway. So he wrapped the gold coins in spiritual energy and used the Flying Thunder God.

The group chatting by the Altar saw Naruto suddenly appear with a huge pile of gold coins beside him and immediately walked over.

"Naruto, why are you back so soon?" Minato asked.

Naruto turned to Minato. "They were all ordinary people, so I dealt with them quickly. There were too many supplies, and I was afraid they wouldn't fit here by the Altar, so I brought back the gold first."

Minato smiled. "Then we can take our time. We can extend the tunnels Kidomaru and the others dug and make some more storage rooms."

Naruto nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you and Pervy Sage to do some hard work, Dad."

The two nodded, then headed down through the tunnels Kidomaru and the others had dug.

Before long, they reached the underground passage and arrived at its end.

It was about fifteen meters below the surface, so everything around them was solid rock. They each chose a direction, then formed a Rasengan two meters in diameter in their right hands.

They pressed the Rasengan against the rock and forced it inward.

Since Jiraiya formed his Rasengan using spiritual energy, he worked much faster. He kept channeling spiritual energy, maintaining the flow of energy across the Rasengan's surface.

Under the friction of the turbulent spiritual energy, the rock was worn away at a visible rate. As Jiraiya continued pushing, the Rasengan burrowed deeper and deeper, and a tunnel gradually began to form.

The same thing was happening on Minato's side. But since he was currently in an Impure World Reincarnation body and hadn't yet switched to a cultivation technique, he was still using chakra, so his progress was a little slower.
