His original body was burning off energy with the tailed beasts. Perhaps later, he would have to make a trip to Turtle Island and wrestle with them on the boundless sea.
As for the Lightning Doppelganger, he returned alone to the Naka River Reservoir using Divine Lightning.
"How did the discussion about that question go?"
Uchiha Minamoto looked at Blondie, surrounded by several adults.
"What's Naruto's surname now?"
Minato Namikaze stroked his son's head and smiled gently. "Naruto has my surname now."
"Big Brother! The era of 'Naruto Uzumaki' is over!"
Copying some goofy pose he had seen somewhere, Naruto faced Uchiha Minamoto and shouted.
"The person standing before you now is-'Naruto Uzumaki'!"
For Naruto Uzumaki-who should now be called Naruto Uzumaki-
The change in surname was not merely a difference in his name, but a tremendous change in his family and life!
Naruto Uzumaki was an orphan with neither father nor mother.
But Naruto Uzumaki had a complete family, parents who got along, a teacher he respected, and a Big Brother he admired...
These were two utterly different lives!
Naruto had never had a choice before, but now he wanted the surname Namikaze!
Watching Naruto Uzumaki's goofy antics, Uchiha Minamoto raised his right hand, held it loosely before his mouth, and coughed twice.
"Ahem!"
Uchiha Minamoto cleared his throat and played along.
"Naruto Uzumaki, pleased to meet you. I look forward to getting along. Would you like to remain in the Great Love Group?"
"Hahaha-"
Naruto immediately burst into cheerful laughter, then puffed out his chest and declared loudly.
"Big Brother! In life, I belong to the Great Love Group, and in death, I'll be its ghost!"
"This kid..."
Kushina Uzumaki could not help shaking her head at her silly son.
The bustle at the Naka River Reservoir continued
