Time of Parting

Kakashi looked at Naruto and exited his Tailed Beast Transformation form, knowing that Qingcheng had surpassed him. He then smiled and said, "That's wonderful! Naruto was just too reckless."

Seeing Naruto recover, Shouhon Yihan said excitedly, "Long live the Fifth Hokage! It's all thanks to the Fifth Hokage that the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed back. This is all thanks to the Fifth Hokage!"

Tsunade and Shizune had just arrived at the center of the battlefield. Seeing that no one in Konoha was injured, they were very relieved, and seeing that Naruto had recovered, they were also relieved.

Tsunade smiled again and said, "This Evil Uchiha is actually quite reliable; the Nine-Tails' crisis has been resolved."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune said with an embarrassed expression, "Lady Tsunade, you were just cursing the Fifth Hokage for stealing your Senju Clan's Ninjutsu, and you even demanded compensation from him for your emotional distress. Now you're saying the Fifth Hokage is extremely reliable. This is absolutely outrageous!"

Shizune secretly received a large red envelope from Qingcheng then said with a smile, "Shizune! I'm leaving Tsunade in your care. If she slanders, defames, or even defames me, you must speak up for me. Don't let her tarnish my reputation. Although her power is limited on her own, there are still some brainwashed fans in the village who might collude with Tsunade to smear the Uchiha Clan, or even slander and spread rumors about my Uchiha Clan behind my back. You must speak up for me. I'll send you more red envelopes in the future."

Meanwhile, Shizune, seeing that the tall, imposing, and incredibly handsome Qingcheng had directly given her a red envelope, was also very gentle, showing none of the airs of a Hokage.

Shizune was instantly captivated by Qingcheng and exclaimed, patting her chest, "Fifth Hokage, please rest assured, I will definitely stop Lady Tsunade from spreading rumors about you. I will also bravely stand up and speak out for you. You are the most handsome and gentle Hokage I have ever seen. I will not let Lady Tsunade smear you."

After saying that, Shizune's face flushed red, and she looked very adoring.

Seeing Shizune like this, Qingcheng knew that Shizune had also become a member of the Uchiha Clan family, and that she would be exploited by the Uchiha Clan in the future.

Qingcheng smiled and said, "I'm entrusting everything to Shizune. Don't worry, our Uchiha Clan will never mistreat a righteous warrior. If you ever need money in the future, just let me know, and I'll definitely support you."

Shizune hearing Qingcheng's words, Shizune's face lit up with little hearts, her heart pounding like a deer's. She then assured him, "Fifth Hokage, please rest assured! I will help you restrain Lady Tsunade."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, all the Shizune characters immediately spoke up for Qingcheng, refuting Tsunade's claims.

Looking at Shizune's righteous and indignant demeanor, Tsunade immediately scolded, "You Shizune, you're completely siding with outsiders! Whose family are you from anyway? Why do you keep speaking up for those Evil Uchiha and keep contradicting me? Are you trying to betray your master and ancestors?"

Kakashi and the other clan heads were all shocked to see Tsunade suddenly start cursing. They quickly turned their Tsunade's wrath. After all, Tsunade was petty and, like Qingcheng, someone who always sought revenge.

Nara Shikadai smiled and said, "Lady Tsunade, you are pregnant now. You need to maintain a cheerful mood, otherwise it will be bad for the baby. The Fifth Hokage end the seal soon. If you have anything to say, you should discuss it with him. After all, he is your rightful owner."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade gave a shrewd look and said happily, "See? Smart people know how to talk. I love hearing things like that."

Kakashi saw Tsunade smile again, and then said with a smile, "Lady Tsunade, could you please check Naruto's body? He's so young, and he's already activated his Tailed Beast Transformation. Will that have any impact on his health?"

Tsunade knew long ago that Naruto was Kushina and Minato's child. Seeing his thick blond hair and his naturally naive demeanor, she knew no one would believe Naruto wasn't Minato's child.

Tsunade walked directly to Qingcheng's side and found that Qingcheng had his eyes closed and had entered Naruto's mental world.

Naruto was lying directly on the ground, looking like he was sleeping. Tsunade complained, "As expected of Minato and Kushina's child, this honest and honest appearance is almost the same as Minato."

In Naruto's mental world, the Nine-Tails, sealed in a cage by Qingcheng, has become Naruto's "power bank."

Naruto looked at Nine-Tails, who still had an obedient expression, and said with a smile, "He's actually quite cute. If one day I can resolve his hatred, could he become my friend?"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng nodded again and said with a serious expression, "That's for sure. Tailed Beasts are all very pitiful. They originally had good lives, but they encountered greedy humans who captured them and turned them into Jinchuriki. They are not inherently bad, but they are not easy to get along with. However, if it's you, you can definitely handle it."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Naruto nodded immediately and said with a determined expression, "I will resolve the hatred in his heart and make him accept me and Konoha."

Seeing that Naruto had accepted the Nine-Tails so readily, Minato's face showed a look of relief. He nodded again and said with a look of approval, "Naruto, I also really want to be with you, watch you grow up healthy and happy, and experience the joy of being a father."

At this point, Minato's eyes reddened again, and tears welled up in his eyes. He said with deep remorse, "Forgive my selfishness. I failed to protect you, I failed to protect Konoha, and I failed to protect your mother. I am a failed Hokage, a failed husband, and a failed father."

Hearing these words, Qingcheng felt as if he had been stabbed again. "Chakra vessels don't shed tears, but my father does,"

Qingcheng said with a sore nose, "You two must have a lot to talk about. I'll exit Naruto's mental world first. As for Konoha, you don't need to worry about the Fourth Hokage."

The Fourth Hokage bowed again, his face full of gratitude, and said, "I entrust the Fifth Hokage, Naruto, to you. I believe you will protect Konoha well."

Qingcheng nodded directly and said with a serious expression, "Naruto is an excellent ninja. He will become the backbone of Konoha. As a father, you must believe in your son. Just like my father, Uchiha Yongcheng, he didn't think I would become a ninja, but I became Hokage directly. That's quite a slap in the face."

Upon hearing this, Minato wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "I also believe in Naruto; he will definitely become an excellent ninja in the Future."

After saying that, he smiled slightly at Naruto and said, "I don't have much Chakra left, but it's enough to create the Flying Thunder God Technique. I hope you can master this powerful Ninjutsu; it can help you become a powerful ninja."

As Naruto watched Minato, his eyes reddened, and tears welled up. But to avoid worrying Minato, he forced back his tears, forcing a smile, and said sternly, "I am Naruto Uzumaki, and my Future is to become Hokage. This is my resolve."

Qingcheng, unwilling to stay and suffer further harm, withdrew directly from Naruto's mental world.

Tsunade looked at Qingcheng as he opened his eyes, then smiled and said, "Evil Uchiha, you did a fantastic job this time."
