Four Reasons to Take Naruto Away

Guy looked at Minato Namikaze and Kushina, their expressions instantly turning to shock, vigilance, and even hostility.

He shook his head helplessly.

"Please don't be angry, Lady Kushina."

Guy's voice was steady as he tried to calm the agitated Kushina.

"I'm taking Naruto away for his safety."

"For Naruto's safety?"

Kushina frowned deeply.

Her eyes were filled with confusion, along with a mother's instinctive resistance.

Minato Namikaze seemed to have thought of something, his brows lifting slightly.

But he still could not be entirely certain of Guy's intentions.

Guy sighed softly and began to explain.

"First, the Third Shinobi World War only ended recently. Fourth Hokage, you..."

He looked at Minato Namikaze.

"You earned a tremendous reputation during the war, and made quite a few enemies as well."

"They might not dare to target you directly, or perhaps they lack the ability to do so."

"But there are certainly many people capable of targeting a defenseless infant—the Fourth Hokage's son."

"After all, a thief may strike for a thousand days, but no one can guard against a thief for a thousand days."

"There will always be an oversight eventually."

As soon as he said this, both Minato Namikaze and Kushina's expressions changed.

Indeed!

During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze had achieved tremendous military accomplishments with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He had killed many shinobi from enemy nations.

The couple was not afraid of retaliation.

But if that retaliation fell upon the newborn Naruto...

"We can protect Naruto!"

Kushina spoke stubbornly. The golden chains behind her swayed slightly without her awareness, revealing the turmoil in her heart.

But if she had to be separated from her son merely out of fear of retaliation,

she would never agree to it.

Guy shook his head and looked at Minato Namikaze.
