"Naruto possesses a maturity beyond his years. To be honest, as long as I am still the Hokage, Konoha doesn't need the Nine-Tails. The one who needs the Nine-Tails is Naruto!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Ren began to present the facts and reason with the public.
Kushina Uzumaki did not refute this statement, as Kushina Uzumaki knew it was true after learning about Ren indirectly from Naruto.
Konoha doesn't need the Nine-Tails' power.
"Although I am Naruto's teacher, I cannot be too biased. Naruto has always wanted to gain everyone's recognition, needs to work hard himself. If Naruto were to master the power of the Nine-Tails, things would become much simpler."
After listening, Kushina Uzumaki asked Naruto very seriously.
"Naruto, you don't need to work so hard. You already have people you care about and great teammates. There's no need to care about those irrelevant people."
As the previous Jinchūriki, Kushina Uzumaki made a different choice from Naruto. Naruto wanted everyone's approval, while Kushina Uzumaki chose to fill her heart with the love of one person.
"But Mom, this is what I want to do!"
Naruto ignored Kushina Uzumaki's advice, expressed his own thoughts with a determined look in his eyes, and then spoke very seriously.
"As for hardship or anything, it doesn't matter. Keeping my word and forging ahead is my Naruto Uzumaki!"
As a boy, it's Kushina Uzumaki to Naruto choose the same path as her.
Thinking of Naruto's strong desire and determination to gain recognition from others, and realizing that it was ultimately because she and Minato hadn't given him a happy childhood, Kushina Uzumaki felt even more guilty and couldn't find the words to refute him.
Having taken in Kushina Uzumaki's expression, Ren continued speaking.
"Senior Kushina Uzumaki may not know that within Naruto's seal, Minato- senpai's Chakra was protecting him from the outside, and the key to breaking the seal was even stored at Mount Myōboku."
After explaining the general situation of the seal, Ren did not stop.
"I have already met with Minato- senpai. He entrusted everything to Naruto, not only the key, but also all the Sealing Jutsu he had learned. I have taught Naruto all of them, but Naruto is not particularly talented in Sealing Jutsu, so his learning progress is very slow."
Ren embellished the facts without the slightest embarrassment; after all, the outcome was what it was, so what did the process matter?
History is always written by the victors, and the truth is never kind to people.
Ren simply told a white lie at the right time.
The effect of lifting the Minato was just as good as Ren had predicted, and Kushina Uzumaki finally made up her mind.
So Minato has already made his choice. Since that's the case...
"Naruto, tell your mother, how's your Sealing Jutsu coming along?"
After Naruto listed all the Sealing Jutsu he had mastered on his fingers, Kushina Uzumaki understood just how unremarkable Ren meant by "not outstanding."
"Speaking of which, I taught Minato how to use the sealing technique. Now, Mom will teach you the Sealing Jutsu unique to the Uzumaki Clan. You'll definitely be able to learn these."
As she spoke, Kushina Uzumaki placed her palm on Naruto's forehead. A moment later, Kushina's Chakra diminished considerably, and her figure became even more ethereal.
"Alright, Naruto, you must practice these diligently from now on. If there's anything you don't understand, remember to ask your teacher."
"Yes, I will, Mom!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Kushina looked at Ren and Shisui.
"Let's get started. After all, we're outside the village, so let's not waste any more time!"
Having already made her decision, Kushina Uzumaki became even more anxious than Ren and Shisui.
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. Although I'm just a Chakra now, Kakashi and Guy should be protecting me outside. They are both excellent ninjas now."
Ren seized the opportunity to speak.
Kakashi?
And Kai, isn't he that hardworking kid?
As expected, Ren's words reassured Kushina Uzumaki, who had already made her decision.
Kushina Uzumaki nodded to Ren, and Ren, having received the signal, naturally took over the command.
"Kushina Uzumaki, please continue to control the Nine-Tails' movements. Shisui, let our great fox get some sleep!"
Upon receiving the order, Shisui did not hesitate at all to aim his Mangekyō Sharingan at Nine-Tails.
A moment later, the Nine-Tails, having heard everything, lost its fearful look, and its eyes transformed into the shape of a four-cornered windmill.
Kushina Uzumaki was not slow either; while she was surprised by how easily Shisui controlled the Nine-Tails' power, she did not stop moving.
Multiple chains appeared behind him again, and the unconscious Nine-Tails was bound tightly from head to toe by a dense array of chains.
If Nine-Tails) is still conscious, it should be able to relive the experience of its time with Mito Uzumaki.
"Naruto, go! Use any means necessary to steal the Nine-Tails 'Chakra!"
Upon hearing Ren's command, Naruto unleashed his long-prepared Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, filling the vast sealed space with Naruto.
As Naruto himself raised his arm and shouted, countless Naruto rushed towards the Nine-Tails, which had no ability to resist.
