Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

In comparison, I, a fourth-generation descendant, am as naive as a fool.

The scene then shows various purposeful visits by the three generations.

In order to survive, Naruto pretended to be optimistic, became refined and gentle, and even began to study "The Will of Fire" to portray himself as someone who loved Konoha.

Minato felt increasingly heartbroken as he watched, and his killing intent surged within him.

He's a man who fought his way through the battlefields of the ninja world; his hands are stained with blood.

Perhaps his gentleness over the years has made others forget his decisiveness when he committed murder.

Those who have been on the battlefield know nothing of gentleness!

Minato took a deep breath, suppressing his killing intent towards the Third Hokage, and looked at Naruto:

"I know it's pointless to say anything now, but I'll find a way to make it up to you."

"Compensation? What are you going to offer as compensation?" Naruto's gentle smile revealed a hint of disdain.

"Exactly, you're offering no compensation whatsoever, you're just a pointless whetstone," Nine-Tails chimed in smugly.

"Yes, I'm already dead. What else can I do?" The Fourth Generation lowered his head in despair. The yellow flash that struck fear into the hearts of everyone on the battlefield was now like a defeated soldier, revealing an extremely vulnerable side.

"So what do you want to do next?" The Fourth Hokage's tone was somewhat humble, unlike the imposing Fourth Hokage, but rather like a father begging for forgiveness.

From the bottom of his heart, he did not want Naruto to become enemies with Konoha.

Because Konoha remains the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

For Naruto to oppose him would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

"Don't worry, I'm not one of those short-sighted frogs in a well." Naruto shook his head.

"The nature I see is different from the perspective of different dimensions. I want to obtain the highest power and transcend everything."

"I want to stand in the sky."

"But if Konoha blocks my path in the future, I will destroy it without hesitation."

"That's all."

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Giving You a Chance to Be Reborn

Standing in the sky.

Is this Naruto's ambition?

Minato could sense Naruto's seriousness and firmly believed that Naruto could definitely do it.

At this moment, Minato's identity had been completely severed from that of the Fourth Hokage.

He once longed to govern Konoha well, lead it to new heights, protect Konoha, and safeguard everyone.

But now, everything he had pinned his hopes on, everything that had sustained his efforts, has completely collapsed, leaving only those vicious laughs and jeers.

"Monster, why don't you just die?"

Which father could remain calm upon hearing such curses?

From this moment on, he is no longer the fourth generation.

Now, all he wants to do is be a good father.

"I don't have much time left, but I'm sure I can still help you." Minato could feel the cold liquid sliding down his cheek.

That was disappointment and pain towards Konoha.

He stared intently into Naruto's azure eyes and asked seriously.

Although he was dead, the knowledge in his mind was all valuable.

He believed that Naruto would need his knowledge.

Since we can't change the past, let's do our best to make Naruto's future better.

"Help? You're just trash now, you hear me, you're just..." Kurama smugly berated him from the side, but Naruto stopped him.

Naruto smiled gently again and said calmly:

"You can definitely help me."

"Great! How do I do it? What do you need? I, I..." Perhaps seeing the possibility of repairing the father-son relationship, the usually composed Minato lost his composure and asked awkwardly.

This only drew more mocking laughter from the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"I want all the information you know about the Konoha leadership, the various departments, the elders, the Hokage's habits, hobbies, personalities, even the families behind them. I want everything you know," Naruto said decisively.

"The Fourth Hokage must know a lot of secrets," he said cryptically.

An individual's strength can indeed overturn everything, but strength takes time.

Naruto didn't even know how long he would live.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

Only by understanding the enemy better than they understand themselves can one truly control them.

Just like a mirage, it controls everything.

"I know, I can tell you anything." As long as he was needed, there was a chance to repair the relationship. Minato's eyes showed joy as he nodded.

“Very good, I believe you are aware of my situation.” Naruto nodded in satisfaction, a smile finally appearing in his eyes.

"I'm walking on thin ice in Konoha. It turns out they won't give me any special treatment because of me. All I want is to survive."

"I need to understand Konoha deeply so that I can become stronger without suppressing my strength or being hesitant in training."

At this point, Naruto looked directly into Minato's eyes, which were filled with pain and self-blame.

Naruto's eyes remained completely calm, and Minato was even afraid to look at him.

Through Naruto's eyes, all he saw was peace.

A deathly, terrifying stillness.

This made Minato feel even more bitter.

Minato would rather Naruto hit him and curse at him than see Naruto so indifferent.

It's as if, to him, I'm just a nobody.

Shuimen dared not look any further.

He was afraid that his heart would ache even more.

At this moment, Naruto's tone became slightly more volatile.

"You are the revered Fourth Hokage of Konoha, and you have governed Konoha with great efficiency. However, in my opinion, you are a failure."

"As a Hokage, he misjudged people's hearts and was deceived by the Third Hokage and the elders."

"As a father, you arbitrarily made your only son the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, leaving him to face the malice of the world alone."

"You're too naive," Naruto said coldly.

“That’s right, you’re too naive!” Nine-Tails chimed in triumphantly.

"You were very unqualified in the past. Now, I'm giving you a chance to be reborn."

Naruto stretched out his palm, and white spiritual pressure slowly entered the Fourth Hokage's body.

"This is..." The fourth generation looked surprised, and his weak body became full and plump.

"This is spiritual pressure, energy that doesn't belong to this world," Naruto said calmly.

“I prolong your life, and you provide me with value.” Naruto withdrew his hand. “I can even teach you how to cultivate spiritual pressure, so that you can exist in this world in another way.”

"But I need to confirm whether you are still the Fourth Hokage who still has your heart set on Konoha."

"I am now just a father who wants to atone for his sins." Minato lowered his head and clenched his fists. "I am dead. I have nothing to do with Konoha anymore. Now I just want you to have a better life."

“Okay, then I’ll teach you.” Naruto nodded.

"Hmph~~ Is spiritual pressure really that magical? Could it be as powerful as my chakra?" Kurama scoffed disdainfully from the side.

Naruto looked at Kurama with a smile in his eyes: "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

......

After Naruto left, only Kurama and Minato remained in the sealed space.

Minato curiously examined the futuristic sealed space, finding it utterly novel.

Seeing Naruto again, and even having a chance to atone for his sins, Minato was in an extremely good mood.

Minato was happy, but Kurama was unhappy.

The thought of sharing the same space with Minato in the future made Kurama feel extremely uncomfortable.

Unable to resist making sarcastic remarks:

"Yongdai-chan, you're really stupid. You're already Hokage, but you're still as naive as a child. Let me tell you, if Naruto weren't smart, he would have been brainwashed into a weapon of war by now."

"Hmph, thank goodness Naruto didn't inherit your brains..."

Before Kurama could finish speaking, he saw Minato smiling and thanking him.

"Anyway, thank you for taking care of Naruto."

"Hmph, I... I just find him interesting and want to see how far he can grow." Hearing praise from an enemy for the first time, Nine-Tails felt his face flush red. A sense of panic welled up in his heart, and he turned his head and snorted coldly.

"Could you tell me more about Naruto's experiences over the years? Please, Kurama." Minato approached the iron gate, his tone pleading.

Seeing Minato in such a humble state for the first time, Kurama felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

But he couldn't satisfy Minato so quickly; the resentment and anger that had been sealed away for so many years hadn't been vented yet.

Nine-Tailed Fox rolled its eyes a few times, and suddenly had an idea.

He pointed to his computer.

"If you help me get a flash, I'll consider telling you something."

......

As the saying goes, fortune changes every day.
