I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 482 Naruto: What?! I'm the male protagonist of a novel about a perverted sage?!

Minato Namikaze's "open card" instantly threw the entire Namikaze household into chaos.

Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki, the "Jinchūriki mother and son," nearly went berserk and out of control, staging a special "Nine-Tails Connect" scene in the heart of Konoha.

Even so, the terrifying chakra that spread from the Namikaze family to the outside world immediately put Hiruzen Sarutobi and the two ANBU squads who had been stationed outside on high alert.

"What happened at Minato's house?"

"How did such a powerful burst of chakra suddenly appear?"

"And this chakra looks extremely... terrifying and evil!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost instinctively summoned his special weapon, the Monkey King, and at the same time dispatched an ANBU ninja to the Hokage Building.

Regardless of what exactly happened in Minato Namikaze's family, it was necessary to inform the Fourth Hokage about this sudden chakra outburst, as a precautionary measure.

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi kept his eyes fixed on the Minato Namikaze residence, keeping a close eye on the situation there.

Fortunately, the situation inside did not deteriorate further and gradually stabilized.

"I wonder if Minato managed to control the situation..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi tightened his grip on the Sarutobi Kongo Iron Cudgel, preparing to charge out and engage in battle at the first opportunity.

Meanwhile, at Minato Namikaze's home.

Minato Namikaze hadn't expected that his simple remark would almost cause both Kushina and Naruto to go berserk simultaneously.

After finally calming the two down, Minato wiped the sweat from his forehead, his inner turmoil still lingering.

As for Fukasaku, the true instigator, he roughly understood the situation from Minato Namikaze's comforting words.

"So, Naruto is Minato's son, but he's not your real son."

Fukasaku clenched his right fist and gently pounded it onto his left palm, revealing an expression that was first one of realization, then confusion.

"Naruto comes from another world... Hmm, if that's the explanation, I'm even more confused."

"Fukasaku Sennin."

Minato Namikaze gestured for Kushina and Naruto to remain quiet before speaking to the sage of Mount Myōboku to explain.

"I also have many questions about Naruto's origins."

"The reason I asked you to take Naruto and me to Mount Myōboku is to consult the Great Toad Sage on this matter."

"Although I still don't quite understand, Minato wants to see the Master, right?"

The sage Fukasaku shook his head and made a hand seal on his own.

"Then I'll be going now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the immortal Fukasaku turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished from the spot.

Minato Namikaze looked at Kushina Uzumaki and nodded to her.

"Kushina, if I get the Fourth Hokage's permission, I will tell you everything about Naruto later."

After saying this, Minato Namikaze looked at Naruto Uzumaki, who was bowing his head in silence, and tried to soften his tone as much as possible.

"Naruto, I'm sorry it took me so long to reveal our relationship to you..."

"It's alright. Actually, I already realized this before, but Father—"

Before Naruto could finish speaking, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

It was clearly Fukasaku, who had returned to Mount Myōboku ahead of time, who used the [Reverse Summoning Technique] to summon him to Mount Myōboku through the summoning contract he had just signed.

Immediately afterwards, Minato Namikaze was also taken by Fukasaku to one of the three legendary holy sites.

Mt. Miaomu.

The rugged mountain peaks are covered with lush green vegetation, and the sounds of insects and birds fill the air. Everything is full of vitality, just like a paradise.

Naruto Uzumaki, who arrived at Mount Myōboku first, swallowed the rest of his unfinished sentence and pretended to casually admire the scenery of Mount Myōboku.

Minato Namikaze, who arrived last, quickly adapted to the strange feeling brought about by the long-distance space-time travel and focused his attention directly on his son.

"Minato, and Naruto, you two wait here for a while."

After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his breathing, the immortal Fukasaku gave instructions to his two juniors.

"I will go and report your visit to the master immediately."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Immortal Fukazuki."

Minato Namikaze bowed respectfully to Fukasaku, and Naruto Uzumaki followed suit.

After the hermit Fukasaku left.

The idyllic paradise, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, was now only inhabited by Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki.

Recalling the awkward scene that had just occurred at home, Minato Namikaze pursed his lips and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Naruto, this is Mount Myōboku..."

"Yeah, haha!"

Naruto's tone was noticeably more intense than usual, as he used it to mask his true emotions.

"This is my first time visiting Boss Toad's house!"

Following up on Naruto's words, Minato Namikaze steered the conversation toward how Naruto signed a summoning contract with Mount Myōboku.

"Actually, it was the lecherous sage who taught me the [Spirit Communication Technique]."

Naruto Uzumaki stood with his hands on his hips, a bright smile on his face.

"When I first started practicing the [Summoning Technique], I could only summon a little tadpole, haha."

"The 'perverted sage' you're referring to is Jiraiya-sensei, right?"

Minato Namikaze smiled gently.

"Jiraiya-sensei is an excellent ninja."

"Naruto, actually, your name also comes from the protagonist of one of Jiraiya's novels."

Minato Namikaze originally thought that this heartwarming little story he revealed would further strengthen his relationship with Naruto Uzumaki.

But to everyone's surprise, Naruto was completely stunned after hearing this.

"What???"

Naruto Uzumaki was dumbfounded.

"I am actually the protagonist of a novel about a lecherous immortal?"

"Me, him, you, the protagonist—this is impossible!"

Naruto Uzumaki believed he had read all of Jiraiya's novels.

From "Intimate Paradise" (Volumes 1, 2, and 3).

Up to "Intimate Violence" (Parts 1, 2, and 3).

And during his three years of training, the book "Make-Out Strategy" was created right under Naruto's nose.

Especially the last one!

When Naruto Uzumaki finished his training and returned to Konoha, he gave "The Icha Icha Strategy" to Kakashi Hatake as a gift.

(Later, Jiraiya died in the battle of Amegakure, and the signal he left behind was also related to the content of "Make-Out Guide", which was also deciphered by Naruto Uzumaki.)

But whether it's "Intimate Paradise," "Intimate Violence," or "Intimate Strategy"...

None of the protagonists in these "masterpieces" are named "Naruto"!

Naruto Uzumaki raised his hands and vigorously rubbed his face.

Could it be that……

Did the lecherous immortal secretly use his name to create another "epic masterpiece"?

This is simply...

That was so exciting!!
