Inside the Sealing Space.
Naruto didn't spend much effort coaxing Kurama, after all, it was just a fox that had been imprisoned for decades. What it wanted to see most now was the pained expression on the face of the person who had sealed it.
Naruto stood directly below the large gate, Chakra surging around him. The water beneath his feet began to swirl around Naruto, gradually rising to envelop half of his body.
Supported by the pillar of Water, Naruto went directly to the seal affixed to the gate.
Naruto raised his hand and placed it on the seal, pinching a corner of the seal with two fingers, ready to tear it off directly.
But just as Naruto made the move, the moment the seal on the door was touched.
In the quiet moment, a warm, golden light, like sunlight, quietly bloomed, slowly transforming into a humanoid figure in front of the one person and one fox. This light was gentle and friendly, unlike the scorching sun.
In this dazzling golden light, a firm and warm hand accurately grabbed Naruto's hand just as he was about to tear off the seal.
When the light dissipated, Naruto could clearly see the figure: blond hair, blue eyes, a handsome face, wearing a white Hokage Battle Robe on the outside and a green flak jacket underneath. He really did look like him.
It was just that the Hokage Battle Robe behind the person moved without wind in the Sealing Space, and the words "Fourth Hokage" on it danced wildly in the air.
Minato Namikaze directly brought Naruto down to the ground.
He had been looking at Naruto gently, his eyes gradually becoming gratified and satisfied.
When he sealed Kurama into Naruto's body, in his dying moments, Naruto was just a wailing infant.
At that time, he had also imagined what the scene would be like when he reunited with Naruto.
Would he have become an excellent Ninja, or would he have married and had children, or would he, like him, have become a hero of Konoha.
But now, seeing him again, he found that Naruto was still a child, but looking at his sturdy figure, handsome face, golden hair, and blue eyes.
Presumably, with the identities of the Fourth Hokage's son and a hero's descendant, Naruto's childhood must have been spent growing up with the support of the villagers, and his life must have been very happy.
"Naruto, you've grown up."
Minato Namikaze's face was full of gratification as he released Naruto's hand, wanting to touch his head.
Naruto, however, took a step back without showing any emotion, dodging the outstretched hand.
Minato Namikaze's expression was a little awkward, and he said with a smile, "Naruto, perhaps the Third Hokage didn't tell you my identity. I am actually..."
"No need to talk nonsense, Fourth Hokage."
Naruto directly interrupted Minato Namikaze's words, "I'm not undoing the seal to listen to your nonsense."
Minato Namikaze froze in place again, the expression on his face hesitant, and he suddenly became a little at a loss.
He might be able to handle the relationship between companions very well, but he didn't know how to face his seemingly rebellious child. After all, Naruto was only a tiny baby when he was born, and now he was already a big child.
Could it be because his identity had made him rebellious in the village?
But because he had made Naruto an orphan since he was a child, he felt very guilty and didn't know what to say.
"It seems the Third Hokage took good care of you."
Fortunately, Naruto not only had a good appearance now, but also a good body, so he must not have to worry about food and clothing in the village.
"Naruto, Kurama's bewitchment cannot be easily believed. If you want to practice Tailed Beast Chakra, Jiraiya-sensei must be present."
Minato Namikaze explained to Naruto with a gentle smile.
"Hahahaha, Fourth Hokage, this isn't my doing."
Before Naruto could speak, Kurama's mocking laughter suddenly echoed from behind.
"Nine Tails! So it really was you!"
Hearing the voice from behind, Minato Namikaze finally noticed the Nine Tails. He turned to look at the Nine Tails, whose face was full of mockery, his eyes filled with anger.
"Hahahaha, Fourth Hokage, you're the last person who should resent me for this. If it weren't for me, this brat would have died at the hands of Konoha long ago."
What the Nine Tails said wasn't wrong. Without the super-strong recovery ability provided by the Nine Tails' Chakra, given Naruto's experiences as a child, even if he didn't die, he would probably have suffered many hidden injuries.
"Impossible!"
Minato Namikaze subconsciously retorted the Nine Tails' statement. He immediately turned back to look at Naruto, hoping to learn the truth from Naruto's mouth.
Minato Namikaze was a Ninja who grew up under the Will of Fire. He deeply loved the village, and after becoming Hokage, he devoted himself to Konoha, dedicating everything he had. It was impossible for him to believe the Nine Tails' words.
"How troublesome."
Naruto frowned, his eyes unchanged, still calm.
"Fourth Hokage, I don't care about this village anymore. The only reason I undid the seal this time was to gain more of the Nine Tails' Chakra, as well as your Flying Thunder God Technique and the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki Clan."
"Gain more of the Nine Tails' Chakra?" Minato Namikaze suddenly grasped the key point of the problem, and a hint of relief appeared on his unsightly face.
"Naruto, you can already control the Nine Tails' Chakra?"
Using the Nine Tails' Chakra, even Kushina had spent a long time to achieve that. How old was Naruto now, and he was already able to obtain Chakra from the Nine Tails?
"Fourth Hokage, you're too arrogant."
Naruto coldly glanced at Minato Namikaze, then, before he could react from his shock and stop him, tore off the seal on the door, walked into the sealing gate, and stood beside the Nine Tails.
"It's not about controlling the Nine Tails, but that the Nine Tails and I are partners."
Minato Namikaze stared blankly at this scene, feeling as if his worldview was about to shatter. Why, why could Naruto stand so naturally next to the Nine Tails?
The Nine Tails' expression was quite ferocious, constantly baring its fangs at him, its eyes filled with mockery and hatred. It didn't seem like they could understand each other at all.
But Naruto didn't seem to be bewitched either.
Minato Namikaze then calmed down and began to think. From the moment he appeared in the Sealing Space and saw Naruto, his perception of Naruto's situation in the village had all been his own subjective assumptions.
What kind of treatment did the Jinchuriki receive in the village? He could see it from Kushina, but could even the identity of the Fourth Hokage's son, the son of a hero, not change this treatment?
"Naruto, I can teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique and sealing techniques, but I'm just a wisp of Chakra, I'm afraid I can't teach you everything."
Minato Namikaze's expression was somewhat self-reproachful and ashamed. He couldn't even fulfill his son's first, and possibly only, request.
"That's not a problem, Kurama." Naruto looked at the Nine Tails, this was what they had agreed upon.
The Nine Tails possessed ample Yang-attribute Chakra, which could greatly improve the quality and stability of Minato Namikaze's wisp of Chakra. As long as it was replenished in time, there was no need to worry about it disappearing.
"Tch, brat."
The Nine Tails wore an extremely disgusted expression, but still separated a wisp of Chakra, passed through the Sealing Space, and injected it into Minato Namikaze's body.
"This is?"
Minato Namikaze was surprised to feel the change in the Chakra within his body, it actually stabilized directly. The quality of the Chakra in his body became higher, and the feeling that it would disappear at any moment was gone. So this is the power of the Nine Tails' Chakra.
Then he looked at Naruto with expectant eyes and said.
"Naruto, can you tell me about your experiences over the years first?"
