The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Minato Namikaze, clad in a divine robe, appeared beside the kunai.

Minato Namikaze bent down and pulled the kunai out of the mud, then looked around.

This place is too far from where the Nine-Tails and the Konoha ninjas are fighting, and there is a village in between, so you can hardly hear anything.

All around was quiet, without even the sound of birds or beasts, only the continuous sound of the stream.

Seeing that this was not a small wooden house, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.

This proves that Tu Nan protected Naruto at that time.

But not seeing the masked Tu Nan, Minato Namikaze remained vigilant, constantly scanning his surroundings.

"here it is......."

Suddenly, a cry of surprise, so familiar to Minato Namikaze, came from above.

"Watergate!"

But then Minato Namikaze suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot, and roared:

Kushina! Naruto!

"Uchiha Madara! Let them go!"

On the cliff edge above the valley, masked Tunan was seen gripping Kushina's neck with one hand and supporting Naruto with the other.

His scarlet eyes fixed on Minato Namikaze below, a hint of mockery flashing across them, as he said leisurely:

"Hey...we're all adults, don't say such childish things."

I was clearly holding them hostage to force you to comply, so how could I possibly let them go?

There's no other way; you're just too cunning, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic.

If you want them to live, it's simple: kill yourself.

Minato Namikaze's eyes were filled with rage. He pointed a finger at the masked Tunan on the cliff top and spat out two words through gritted teeth.

"mean!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Nan, wearing a mask, looked on with surprise in his scarlet eyes and said in a strange tone:

"How did someone like you become a ninja?"

Isn't it normal for ninjas to do this kind of thing?

When did murder have to be done in a respectable and aboveboard manner?

Stop arguing. If you want them to live, you have to kill yourself.

At this point, Minato Namikaze was completely enraged.

His eyes, filled with hatred and murderous intent, stared at the masked Tu Nan as he gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you think you can force a ninja to commit suicide by using such despicable means?"

I'm not that stupid; you'll still kill them once I'm dead.

"You might even be able to destroy Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Masked Tu Nan let out a long sigh and nodded repeatedly.

"It was within my expectations that you wouldn't agree."

Since you don't care about their lives, I'll kill them first and then you.

The whole family should die together, so that they won't be alone on their journey to the underworld.

"In the next life, let's be family again; that would be a happy ending."

As he spoke, the masked Tu Nan tightened his grip on Kushina's neck slightly.

"do not want!"

Minato Namikaze is now truly panicked.

After shouting, seeing that the masked Tu Nan did not continue to attack, he clenched his fists in anger and said resentfully:

"You... bastard..."

Masked Tu Nan shook his head slightly and chuckled:

"I am a reasonable person, my only weakness is that I am soft-hearted."

Killing your whole family is indeed a bit too cruel.

But you don't want to commit suicide.

Okay then, let's try another method.

Here's a small multiple-choice question for you.

I'm going to kill one of those who's disturbing your peace of mind now.

This will be helpful in our life-or-death battle later.

As he spoke, the masked Tunan shook the nearly lifeless Kushina and said:

"You want me to kill your wife, with whom you've lived and worked day and night, who has been by your side through thick and thin, and with whom you've shared so many years of love?"

Then he tossed the little Naruto, who was crying with his eyes closed, in his palm and said:

"Or should we kill the fruit of your love, to continue the life of your own flesh and blood, your son?"

Upon hearing these two options, Minato Namikaze trembled with rage, his teeth grinding together.

His bloodshot eyes stared intently at the masked Tu Nan, and he said, word by word:

"If you dare to touch any of them, I will kill you."

Masked Tu Nan was not afraid of Minato Namikaze's threat at all, and chuckled:

"I am a dignified Asura of the ninja world, and I keep my word."

I was very serious just now, you really have to choose one.

If you don't choose, I'll take it upon myself to kill one.

If you impulsively rush forward...

Then you have no choice; your wife and children will all die.

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, tears welling in his eyes, and gritted his teeth, saying, "What good would killing them do you?"

Masked Tu Nan gently shook his head and said:

There is no direct benefit.

It's just a battle between masters; if one person has a weakness in their mind, they can be easily defeated.

I simply want to disturb your peace of mind, and then kill you.

You are the most important.

Don't get any funny ideas, my reaction speed is a tiny bit faster than your Flying Thunder God Technique.

Minato Namikaze, seeing Kushina on the verge of death and Naruto crying his heart out, finally couldn't bear it any longer.

His legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground. He raised his right hand, held up a kunai, and looked up, saying:

"Could I trade my life for their safety...?"

Masked Tu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly:

"Really? You're not lying to me, are you? You didn't agree at first."

At that moment, Kushina in the masked man's hand saw Minato Namikaze about to commit suicide.

Two streams of tears welled up involuntarily from the corners of her eyes and flowed down her cheeks. Suppressing the urge to suffocate, she said with difficulty:

"Minato... don't worry about me..."

Kushina's words seemed to have an effect, and Minato Namikaze froze.

Just as Minato Namikaze was about to commit suicide, Kushina stopped him. How could Masked Tunan let the duck that was about to be eaten fly away?

But then, Tu Nan's eyes narrowed, and he turned to Kushina, speaking earnestly:

"You are a completely incompetent mother."

It doesn't matter if you're not okay, but the child is innocent.

Although you gave birth to him, you cannot make decisions for him.

The fact that you two can become mother and child is a destiny ordained by heaven.

In my opinion, you should just let your husband die; at least you'll have left him with a bloodline.

From now on, you should raise your children well.

"When the child grows up and becomes successful, he can come and seek revenge on me."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Minato Namikaze below, who was struggling and hesitating, and provoked him:

I don't know you well.

I don't know if you are a qualified father or a qualified husband.

If it were me, I would rather die than let my wife and children suffer even the slightest loss.

Of course, if you're the kind of selfish and petty person, then disregard what I said.

Minato Namikaze seemed to have lost his composure, his hand holding the kunai trembling wildly.

With tears welling in his eyes, he gazed into Kushina's eyes, the couple seemingly exchanging a final, tearful glance before their deaths.

"Kushina...Naruto..."

Masked Tu Nan sighed deeply and quickly offered words of comfort:

"A real man sheds blood but not tears, why cry and whine?"

Everyone dies eventually, so try to think positively.

[Chapter 340. Kind Advice Ends in Tragedy]

Minato Namikaze and Kushina exchanged glances for a while.
