At this point, Yun glanced at Kushina, but ultimately did not reveal Obito's name: "At that time, the Nine-Tails, filled with hatred, was not released, and Konoha did not fall into crisis as a result."

"So all of this changed because of Uzumaki Sora in the beginning. So... without him, I wonder what the outcome would have been?"

Yun's words startled Minato.

In the previous intelligence summary, Jiraiya-sensei brought up that prophecy once again.

If it weren't for Uzumaki Sora, given Obito's abilities, and the fact that he was caught off guard and Kakashi didn't have the means to restrain him, the Nine-Tails would have been released in the end.

The Nine-Tails, being manipulated, will inevitably target Konoha.

Kushina... could only die because of the tailed beast being separated.

Perhaps I... will die too?

So, Naruto...

Yun looked at Minato and nodded: "Among Jiraiya's disciples, there will be those who bring about change to the ninja world, who will be known as saviors."

"Based on the physical characteristics left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto would be the most suitable candidate to be the savior if Ku Uzumaki were not around."

"Given such a fate, there is no need to hesitate."

At this point, Yun looked at the little nine-tailed fox on the coffee table and reached out to stroke its head: "Besides... I trust this guy. Although he can be unreliable at times, he's always been my little brother."

These words touched Little Nine-Tailed Fox deeply, and it leaped onto Yun's shoulder.

"Waaaaah... Boss, if Madara Uchiha is resurrected, I'll be counting on you."

Yun smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Yun's words had already softened Minato's stance somewhat, but Kushina, standing in front of Naruto, still maintained a firm gaze.

He said in a deep voice, "I don't care about our original fate. Now that Minato and I are both alive, it's not Naruto's turn to risk his life!"

Minato sighed: "After today, Naruto will be ten years old. In a few years, he will graduate from the Ninja Academy. And as a ninja, he will have to face it sooner or later."

"Those guys have been lying in wait, and the time when things start to get chaotic might overlap with Naruto's. Kushina, if you don't decide now, you might regret it later because of this short time."

Kushina hesitated.

There are two examples of perfect Jinchūriki in Kumogakure, and as the strongest of the Tailed Beasts, Kurama's perfect Jinchūriki would only be stronger.

"Mother."

Naruto's voice came from behind him, and Naruto squeezed out from the side.

He then stood in front of Kushina and said, "I'm friends with the fox boss. If we're friends, it wouldn't just leave me to my death."

"Because I promised it that if I wanted to leave, I could just ask Brother Yun to use his abilities to save my life. And... I won't seal it away again."

Naruto placed a hand on his lower abdomen as he spoke: "Being locked in a cage all the time must be very uncomfortable for Boss Fox. If someone kept me locked up in a place like this for a long time, I probably would have gone crazy by now."

"So...I want to release Boss Fox!"

With his last words, Naruto raised his head, a smile on his face.

He then clenched his fist, turned to Kushina, and said, "Although Mom and Dad are both strong, I, as the future me, will be even stronger! I will protect you, protect the village, and protect everyone!"

"Even without Boss Fox, I can do it! Keeping my word is my ninja way!"

Minato and Kushina were both moved by Naruto's words.

Meanwhile, Yun, standing to the side, had switched his eyes to the Eternal Eyes mode.

There was no overflow of power.

Does talent convince you?

Such a talent is truly impossible to defend against.

But what about winning as a prerequisite?

It's understandable that Obito was beaten up by Naruto several times before, and he always suffered losses, but what about Naruto's treatment of Minato and Kushina?

It would be a miracle if we could win.

"I understand."

Minato's voice rang out, and he smiled before summoning the toad from Mount Myōboku.

Seeing this, Kushina just sighed, smiled, and reached out to ruffle Naruto's hair: "From now on, it will be up to Naruto to protect Mommy."

Naruto nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I'm very strong!"

"Boom."

As the smoke cleared, Gamabunta looked at the group and then his gaze fell on the little nine-tailed fox: "If the nine-tailed fox were to shrink, it would be so adorable?"

These words made the little nine-tailed fox bare its teeth: "Little toad, are you tired of living? Believe me or not, I'll make you a braised dish for dinner tonight!"

Hama Yin shuddered. No matter what, she was still a nine-tailed fox!

Then it looked at Minato and said, "You called me out so late, and I saw Kurama as soon as I came out. I'll probably have nightmares when I get back. What is it? Tell me quickly."

Minato apologized awkwardly, "I want to remove the key sealed inside Naruto, so I'll have to trouble you with that."

Gamabunta was taken aback, looked at Naruto and said, "Although he has the physique of the Uzumaki clan, should we start now? Doing so would be too dangerous."

Little Nine-Tailed Fox said unhappily, "Just take it out when I tell you to. Why does a key custodian have to worry about so much? Can't you see my boss is here? Is there anything he can't handle?"

Uchiha Yun...

Hama Yin and Yun exchanged a glance.

With him around, even the Nine-Tails really can't cause any trouble.

The next moment, Gamabunta stretched his body and took out the sealed key scroll.

Minato took it and nodded slightly: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Gamabunta waved his hand: "It's nothing, I was just saying it casually. Minato, you're still so polite."

After smiling, Minato looked at Naruto on the other side: "If you've already made up your mind, then place your handprint here."

Naruto laughed and pressed his hand to his stomach: "Fox Boss, I'll let you out right away."

……

Five minutes later, Naruto pressed one hand against the seal on his lower abdomen.

The next moment, the sealed land.

"Click-click-click!"

With a soft sound, the sealing talisman dissipated, and the prison bars vanished from their spot.

Immediately, crimson chakra filled the entire space.

At the same time, Naruto stood in front of the Nine-Tails inside him, smiling broadly, and said, "Boss, I've finally rescued you!"

Surrounded by chakra, Kurama's vertical pupils stared directly at Naruto, a fang emerging from its ferocious smile.

"Naruto!!!"

With a roar, a sharp claw suddenly attacked.

However, Naruto showed no intention of dodging, and even stared directly at the claws.

Just as Minato was about to move, Kurama jumped onto his shoulder and stopped him: "Don't panic, it's just being tsundere."

Minato withdrew his raised hand.

At that moment, the Nine-Tails' claws inside Naruto's body stopped instantly in front of him.

"Kid, aren't you afraid of dying?"

Naruto replied with a smile, "As the leader, how could I kill my own subordinate? That's not the code of conduct for a leader like you!"

Kurama grinned, baring its teeth: "Hmph! Your parents sealed me away for so many years, and right now only Uchiha Yun is outside. Wait until some time..."

At that moment, the chakra of the Nine-Tails surged forth and connected to Naruto.

Inside Naruto's body, the Nine-Tails appeared with a disdainful look: "You're just habitually two-faced. If you keep babbling on, you'll probably be pinned to the ground again in no time."

Nine-Tails roared, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

The Nine-Tails crossed its arms and said, "Even the old man probably doesn't know you as well as I do. Stop pretending. As the blond guy the old man was talking about, Naruto, you should know what to do."

Nine-Tails remained silent for a while.

After a long pause, he looked at Naruto and said, "Human lifespan is only so short. As your subordinate, I'll reluctantly sacrifice a nap..."

Naruto paused for a moment, then asked, "Fox Boss, aren't you going out?"

The little nine-tailed fox next to him laughed: "It goes out? Go out and get rubbed into the ground? Boss Yun can teach it how to be a fox with one hand."

Before Kurama could erupt in fury, the little Kurama placed a paw on Naruto's shoulder: "Let's go, there are still some things to explain."

"asshole!!"

With a roar, Naruto and the Nine-Tails disappeared from the spot.

……

In reality.

The Nine-Tails looked at Naruto and said, "The situation of its half-body is a little different from mine. Now your task is to try to purify its negative emotions as much as possible."

"Although it has acknowledged you, these things might affect you when it uses its power. Cultivating a connection of minds is your next goal."

Naruto listened, completely stunned.

A meeting of minds?

How should one cultivate this?

The next second, a pair of hands pulled Naruto into an embrace.

Even with Yun watching over him, Kushina was still worried about him.
