Kushina's Choice

Ren used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique with extreme caution, creating two easily destroyed Shadow Clone.

Ren also had some guesses about this, but he didn't know if they were accurate.

Whether it's his own Shadow Clone or Ren's daily life, his emotions are affected by the massive amount of Chakra within him, making him less rational.

The methods are indeed ingenious, but why didn't the Sage of Six Paths take direct action?

Ren, who is constantly tormented by his own Chakra, does not believe that the Sage of Six Paths did so out of kindness or because he looked down on him.

Something is definitely holding him back, preventing him from or making him unwilling to act directly.

He hadn't originally planned to guide the three in their cultivation, but considering his guesses, he figured it wouldn't be a big problem; he'd done this before.

With Sasuke Uchiha look in his eyes, Ren finally agreed.

"Then let's begin!"

"Yes!" ×3

Ren's main body and two Shadow Clones, each carrying one person, headed in three directions from the training ground.

As for the real body, it's naturally with Naruto.

After they separated, Ren activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and glanced at Naruto's spirit behind him.

"He's still keeping his eyes closed, "Ren said, observing carefully but finding no change.

"Come on, Naruto, your teacher will take you to find your mother!"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and his mind entered the sealed space.

In a scene so familiar it was almost unbearable, in a corridor with a thin layer of puddles, Naruto saw Ren already standing in front of him.

"Teacher!"

Naruto's shout was filled with joy.

Let's go!

Ren led Naruto toward the Nine-Tails' large private room.

Wasn't my mother sealed inside me?

Naruto wondered, but he still obediently followed behind Ren.

"Hey kid, what are you doing here again? Let me tell you, don't bother this old man!"

The sound of the two walking made Nine-Tails notice them and shout from a distance.

"Naruto, it seems you and Nine-Tails are getting along quite well."

"Uh, hehe, no, teacher!"

Naruto replied sheepishly, not understanding where Ren got the idea that his relationship with Nine-Tails had improved.

"It's you again!!!"

Nine-Tails also noticed Ren beside Naruto, and roared with a mixture of anger and helplessness.

"Long time no see, Nine-Tails, but today's events have nothing to do with you."

Ren greeted Nine-Tails with a smile.

Nine-Tails breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then realized something was wrong.

Why would I be afraid of this Uchiha Clan brat!

And this is my territory!

Ren didn't pay any attention to the Nine-Tails' mixed expressions of joy and anger, simply taking it as the arrogant fox's daily erratic behavior.

"Naruto, hold on tight!"

As Ren spoke, a complex pattern made of black lines appeared out of thin air with his right hand as the center, and he slapped it towards Naruto's abdomen.

Thanks to Ren's reminder, Naruto didn't fall to the ground, but he did let out a muffled groan.

Immediately, a ball of Chakra emerged from Naruto's abdomen, then slowly condensed into the somewhat ethereal Kushina Uzumaki.

Naruto, and the Fifth Hokage.

Upon opening her eyes, Kushina Uzumaki immediately recognized the two people in front of her.

Almost two months have passed since the trip to Turtle Island, but for Kushina Uzumaki, it all feels like it just happened.

The moment he saw Ren, he hurriedly asked.

"Fifth Hokage, what did you discover before? Is it related to Naruto?"

"Senior Kushina Uzumaki, don't worry. It's been almost two months since Naruto last saw you. A lot has happened. Naruto must have missed you a lot these days."

Ren spoke to Kushina Uzumaki in a gentle tone.

Naruto, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed when he saw Ren say that he missed his mother.

But Naruto, who understood Kushina Uzumaki's situation, still called out.

"Mother!"

After hearing Ren's words and Naruto's shouts, Kushina Uzumaki realized that she didn't have much time left.

Looking at Naruto more closely, hmm, it's like first love!

Kushina Uzumaki immediately stopped worrying about whether Naruto would find a girlfriend in the future.

Minato knew perfectly well how popular Kushina Uzumaki back then.

"Naruto!"

Kushina Uzumaki tightly, Naruto only reached her waist, and didn't let go for a while.

What followed was a typical motherly interrogation: Did you eat on time? Did you sleep well every day? Were you bullied? How are you getting along with your friends and teachers?...

Naruto answered them one by one.

After a long while, Kushina Uzumaki separated from Naruto and pulled Naruto to stand in front of Ren.

This time, Ren didn't hesitate and spoke up.

"Senior Kushina Uzumaki, don't resist!"

Immediately, her Sharingan activated, creating Genjutsu that captured Naruto's condition and packaged it up for Kushina Uzumaki.

One of the stories is from Ren's perspective, depicting Naruto's possession of a spirit.

It also briefly introduced the existence of Indra and explained that Hashirama Senju was the chakra vessel of the previous Asura Chakra.

A moment later, Kushina Uzumaki opened her eyes, her hair flying wildly once more.

Seeing this, Ren understood, but still asked.

"Kushina Uzumaki- senpai, what is your choice?"

Kushina Uzumaki, furious, said through gritted teeth.

"My son will only be Naruto!"
