There was a bang, which was the sound of Naruto's fist coming into close contact with Minato's face.
Although there were some vague guesses in his mind, when the moment really came, Naruto still punched Minato without hesitation.
"You bastard, bastard, why, why..."
Naruto roared as he rushed towards Minato. Minato stood instinctively, ready to receive Naruto's next punch.
However, Naruto, who was running over, did not continue to hit him, but rushed directly into his arms.
"Why, dad, why did you abandon me! Why didn't you tell me all this earlier, why!"
In the eyes of most people, Naruto seems to always be so optimistic and strong, while Sasuke is always so cold and determined, and the two of them seem to never collapse.
But as the teacher who leads the team, Aoba knows very well that it is too easy for these two children to break their defenses. Under their strong appearance, they both hide a sensitive and fragile heart.
It's just that they use strength to disguise themselves. What the world sees is what they want others to see. But only a few people can see their true selves.
Minato subconsciously hugged Naruto. He originally prepared a lot of words. But at this moment, he couldn't say anything and could only keep repeating that he was sorry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Aoba originally thought that the two of them would meet later, at a more critical moment. But he ignored that Minato was also a person with rich emotions. How could he endure the pain of being so close to each other but not recognizing each other when he spent time with Naruto day and night.
Therefore, he finally chose to recognize each other.
However, he knew that Aoba was using them as back-up players. Therefore, he chose to get to know Naruto privately.
After a long time, Naruto finally stopped crying.
"Dad, tell me your mother's story."
Laboratory, Aoba has successfully entered the conscious world of Sasuke.
"Teacher Aoba." Sasuke's voice came from behind.
"Sasuke."
"Teacher Aoba, what happened? What happened to me?"
"It's Cursed Seal that's coming back to bite you. Don't worry, it's not a big problem. We can reseal it at any time."
"No, I'm not referring to this. I'm referring to my power. I feel a powerful force. The chakra has become different, more powerful than before."
Aoba frowned slightly.
"This is because the chakra produced by Cursed Seal has the characteristics of the power of nature. It makes your chakra closer to Senjutsu Chakra. That's why you feel this way."
"I know Senjutsu Chakra, it's the Sage Mode you have, teacher Aoba. Do I have the same power as you?"
Aoba has begun to feel that something is wrong with Sasuke. The erosion of Cursed Seal seems to be more serious than he imagined.
Perhaps the previous erosion was just an external manifestation. But at a deeper level, the erosion had already begun. Now it is just a concentrated outbreak.
"It is indeed the same power. It's just not perfect. In fact, I didn't prevent you from being planted with Cursed Seal. I just wanted to use this method to let you try to control Natural Energy."
"Really? But Cursed Seal of Orochimaru must be very dangerous. Teacher Aoba, aren't you worried about my failure?"
"I've prepared a lot of back-ups, there won't be any problem. Sasuke, don't be affected by this power.
Try to control it and tame it. Only under the control of your own will can power truly belong to you."
"But if I suppress him, this power will fade. I don't want to lose this power. Teacher Aoba, help me."
At this time, half of Sasuke's body in the consciousness space has been completely covered by Cursed Seal. He seems to be working hard to fight against Cursed Seal. However, the erosion of Cursed Seal is more powerful than imagined.
He gradually became unable to resist. The entire Cursed Seal began to spread to the other half of his body.
But at this time, Aoba's expression became a little strange. He did not help Sasuke, or even continued to speak. He just kept a strange expression and looked at Sasuke in front of him.
"Help me, Teacher Aoba." Sasuke's voice became smaller and smaller. Until it completely disappeared, Aoba did not make any move.
Soon Mindscape fell into an inexplicable silence. Then, Orochimaru's iconic laughter came.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Aoba. I really can't deceive you with anything. I thought I had already disguised myself very well. Can you tell me where the flaw is? I have spent a lot of effort for this moment."
He hasn't appeared in front of Aoba for a long time since Aoba last met with Orochimaru. I didn't expect that this meeting would be in such a weird state.
"Actually, there is no obvious flaw. But I know an established fact that Sasuke cannot be embezzled by you. So I know that you must not be the real Sasuke."
"I see. It seems that Mr. Aoba really knows something terrible."
In fact, Aoba is extremely surprised now. Because Orochimaru's words also reveal that he seems to know something.
I saw Orochimaru's hands Hand Seals, and the surrounding consciousness space was wrapped in that special Cursed Seal chakra. In the consciousness world of Sasuke, a small independent space was once again created.
"Okay, I think we can share some information here that Mr. Aoba wouldn't say outside. Tell me, Mr. Aoba. Is Sasuke the person I think he is?"
"Who?" Aoba ignored Orochimaru's words, saying that he didn't understand.
"Hehehe, you are really cautious. I told you, it is safe to talk here. We can talk freely. I mean, is Sasuke a descendant of the legendary Sage of Six Paths?"
Long time no see, Orochimaru actually investigated this level of information. Although it is not accurate yet, it is indeed an introduction.
Aoba thought for a while and decided to give him some more tips. Orochimaru has always been a tool man here.
The early Kusanagi Sword, Sealing Jutsu information, the later Impure World Reincarnation, and the technique to reverse Reaper Death Seal were all obtained from Orochimaru.
Now that Orochimaru has one foot in the door, Aoba might as well give him a little more information and see if Orochimaru can bring him more surprises.
"Yes, Sasuke is the descendant of Sage of Six Paths."
"So, you trained them two to comply with some kind of message left by Sage of Six Paths?"
"No, quite the opposite!"
