As the whole world cried out in shock, and Naruto's and Sasuke's parents wondered whether they should put a little distance between the two best friends so they would not embark on a road of no return, Naruto set off in the Light Screen footage.
Although this father, Minato Namikaze, had suffered a tremendous ideological shock, making him wonder whether he ought to forbid his unborn son from associating with the Uchiha family's younger son in the future—or find a way to turn the Uchiha family's younger son into a cute girl.
None of that could change Naruto's determination to find his "only one."
Of course, Naruto did not actually have those sorts of romantic feelings. He simply regarded Sasuke as his best friend.
Minato Namikaze, who had learned much from Naruto the night before, also understood why Naruto considered Sasuke his most important friend. After graduating from the Ninja Academy, the two had been assigned to the same team and forged a deep bond through supporting and competing with each other.
It was friendship, and it was the camaraderie between comrades-in-arms. For Naruto, who had endured the cold indifference of Konoha's villagers since childhood and had not even had a friend his own age, Sasuke was undoubtedly an exceptionally important and irreplaceable close friend.
What was more, the two had become Counter Guardians together. Their relationship and bond were simply outrageous—they truly depended on each other through life and death, and had spent more time accompanying one another than they had accompanying their own wives and children.
So, though he found it difficult to put into words, Minato ultimately said nothing.
As for the girls, although they had been startled, they did not say anything either.
Kikyo was cold by nature and naturally had no comment on such matters.
