[Naruto : Yellow Flash] Chapter 651 - 655

Chapter 651: Sealing Method

"Have you decided yet?"

Just as Minato made up his mind, a voice that was exactly the same as his sounded from deep within his soul.

That was Minato's voice, but the voice belonged to Minato at almost the same age as when the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha and Minato died.

"Um."

Minato responded that the two of them were originally one, so the doubts that Minato had, the older Minato also shared.

But precisely because they are one individual, the decision they make is consistent.

"Although such a decision is irrational given the current situation, we cannot ignore the changes that have taken place so far."

Minato has successfully changed history. Kushina was not separated from the Nine-Tails, and he himself did not have to sacrifice himself.

But this does not mean that everything is safe.

On the contrary, the outcome did change, but that was because Minato was familiar with the situation and took precautions.

There is a huge difference between the attack on Konoha by the masked man and others this time and the night of the Nine-Tails.

Not only did the masked man become more difficult to deal with, the people gathered around him were also no ordinary people.

Especially the black-robed man with strange and varied abilities, he is even more difficult to deal with than the masked man.

The trajectory of history also underwent tremendous changes under the influence of Minato.

The Great Toad Sage once made a prophecy to Minato that he had the opportunity to prevent the disaster in the Ninja World from happening in advance. But he failed.

And in the prophecy made to the Great Toad Sage many years ago, the blue-eyed boy who laughed and called out the names of the nine tailed beasts was the true son of prophecy, who could save people from disaster.

Minato concluded that the boy was Naruto!

This child, who was given a name by Jiraiya-sensei, has the potential to change the future of the ninja world.

Although Minato believed that he might be able to do it in the future, he could not put all the possibilities and opportunities of the future on himself.

It's not that he doesn't dare to take on such an important responsibility, but he cannot be careless in any way when it comes to matters like this.

So he decided to seal the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body again. According to the prophecy, Naruto also needed this power as a Jinchūriki.

But now the Nine-Tails is sealed in Kushina's body, and the Jinchūriki who is stripped of the tailed beast will die.

Therefore, there was only one method he could use to ensure Kushina's safety.

That is to divide the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox into two again.

There is only one ninjutsu that can do this:

Shiki Fūjin!

"I feel sorry."

Thinking of this, Minato's eyes couldn't help but fluctuate violently, with emotions surging in them.

To cast the Reaper Death Seal, the caster's own soul must be sacrificed.

Even now he has found no other way.

"This is a decision we made together. Besides, you should also know that I don't have much time left."

The same voice as Minato's came from inside his body.

Strictly speaking, there are two souls in Minato's body now.

To cast the Reaper Death Seal, one of them must be sacrificed.

After the masked man and others attacked Konoha, deep in Minato's consciousness, the soul of Minato, which had existed for more than ten years and only had residual consciousness left, was gradually recovering.

But this kind of recovery is not a good thing, because at the same time they both feel that something seems to be repairing itself in the darkness.

The soul of the older Minato could no longer remain attached to the soul of the present Minato.

He, who did not belong to this time and space, realized that the moment his soul was fully restored, it would be forced out of Minato's body.

Without the protection of a body, a soul that does not belong to this time and space will only dissipate.

It's just strange that the remaining consciousness of the Nine-Tailed Fox, which came across time and space with Minato, is still normal.

Therefore, for the future of Naruto as foretold by the Great Toad Sage, the old Minato's soul can only be used as a sacrifice for the Reaper Death Seal.

Thinking of this, Minato couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.

Although the two of them are one, they can also be said to be best friends.

Noticing his emotions, the older Minato couldn't help but chuckle.

"Have you forgotten what I once said?"

"I know," Minato responded.

[Naruto is my child. For my son, what's the harm in dying?]

"Compared to you, everything I can do will be over after the seal is cast."

"The next thing will be entrusted to you!"

The last time, Minato performed the Reaper Death Seal, leaving behind his own and Kushina's chakra and the seal key, and entrusted the unknown future to Naruto.

This time, although Naruto is still going to become the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki, it is different from the original timeline.

He and Kushina will watch Naruto grow up, and even in that uncontrollable future, he will try his best to protect Naruto and the future of the entire ninja world.

"Um!"

Minato responded firmly.

"But before that, we have to arrange the rest of the things first."

After all, the tailed beasts exist as a strategic force for a ninja village, and now Minato plans to split the Nine-Tails into two.

Although in terms of the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, even if it is only half of it, it is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Minato had personally endured that chakra with his own body.

Even if he was the Hokage, he couldn't just deal with the Nine-Tails himself.

However, Minato had naturally already thought of countermeasures for these things.

What really made it difficult for him was not how to convince the Third Hokage and the other senior executives.

But it was Kushina.

She is not only the current Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, a direct participant in this incident, but also Naruto's mother.

Minato had no right to decide Naruto's future on his own.

Minato knew her character very well.

There was no way Kushina would let Naruto serve as a Jinchūriki and endure all this.

She would rather bear it all by herself.

Therefore, ordinary explanations were not enough to convince Kushina.

The only thing left now is to confess everything.

The reason why Minato decided to let Naruto be the Jinchūriki again was because of his past experience.

The possibility of making Kushina understand and accept his decision was to confess everything to her.

In the past, Minato had too many concerns. He was afraid that if the news of his rebirth was leaked, it would have unpredictable impacts on history.

But now, this concern no longer exists, because history has developed in a direction that Minato does not even know.

He had nothing to hide from Kushina.

Because the chance for Minato to be reborn was originally given by her!

Chapter 652: Confession

"Buzz."

A few days later, without being noticed by ordinary ninjas, a huge barrier was completely completed, with extremely amazing chakra fluctuations spreading out, protecting the entire Konoha inside.

In the Hokage's office, Minato sensed something, turned around and stood up, his blue eyes slightly stern.

Although Konoha's barrier had a defensive function in the past, it was not very strong. Its main purpose was to sense enemies who invaded the village without permission.

After all, the barrier was built during the First Hokage's time. Who would be so blind as to invade Konoha at that time?

However, this time the masked man and others attacked Konoha, and the means they used almost destroyed the entire village could not be ignored.

This barrier was built by Kushina with great effort. Although it did not enhance the sensor much compared to the previous barrier, its solidity was far superior.

Moreover, if Konoha were to encounter the situation of that night again, as long as a large amount of chakra was injected into this barrier, the level that could be achieved would be comparable to the barrier cast by Minato that night.

The chakra fluctuations that permeated the entire Konoha gradually converged and disappeared after a few seconds.

"Knock Knock!"

After a while, there was a knock on the office door.

Kushina pushed the door open and said to Minato with a little pride: "Minato, I have completed the task you assigned to me."

In fact, she knew that even if she didn't report it deliberately, Minato would definitely notice it.

Minato nodded, chuckled, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Kushina smiled and said, "It's not hard to do my part for the village. From now on, leave this kind of work to me."

"That won't do."

Minato shook his head and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't our Naruto be very lonely?"

As the Hokage, he was destined not to accompany Naruto like ordinary parents.

"Well, I'll go to Mikoto's house now to pick Naruto up," Kushina nodded and said.

At this time, Minato did not respond to her.

She raised her eyes, and at this moment there was something strange in his expression.

"Minato, what's wrong?"

Kushina tilted her head slightly, wondering.

"Nothing," Minato finally responded.

"Then I won't disturb you from working. Remember to go home early for dinner."

Kushina didn't think much about it, and she didn't want to delay the Hokage's work, so after saying something, she turned and walked out of the Hokage's office.

Looking at her leaving back, the look from before reappeared in Minato's eyes.

Because tonight, he was going to confess everything to Kushina.

Even he wasn't quite sure how to express this.

As a listener, he would naturally find rebirth a horrifying thing if he had not experienced it himself.

In the evening, after Minato finished his work for the day, he returned home.

Kushina made a lot of delicious dishes, and it had been a while since they had a good meal together as a family of three.

But Minato still had something on his mind, and even though he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't hide it from Kushina's eyes.

But Kushina never said it directly.

At nine o'clock, it was time to go to bed, and Kushina and Minato coaxed Naruto to sleep together.

Looking at the sleeping face of the child in front of him, the fluctuation in Minato's eyes became even more intense.

Kushina glanced sideways at Minato at this time.

Looking at her, he pursed his lips.

"Kushina, I—"

But before he could say anything, Kushina put her finger in front of her mouth and whispered, "Shh!"

She grabbed Minato's hand and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Kushina turned around, raised her eyes, looked at Minato and said, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Her sudden question made Minato stunned for a moment.

Minato took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

"I don't know what's wrong with you, but there's nothing between us that can't be shared, right?"

Kushina smiled. She could clearly sense Minato's nervousness at the moment.

In her impression, Minato rarely showed such emotions.

Minato's eyes flickered slightly. In this world, there really was no one who understood him better than Kushina.

He now stared into Kushina's eyes and said, "Of course, but before I tell you the truth, I assure you that what I'm going to say next is definitely not a joke."

"The truth?"

Feeling the seriousness in Minato's tone, Kushina's expression changed slightly.

"In fact, there is another soul in my body, and it comes from another time and space."

"What do you mean?"

Kushina was stunned when she heard this. After all, the situation with Minato was indeed very complicated, and it was difficult to understand with just this one sentence.

"The other me died because of casting the Shiki Fūjin. For some reason, it merged into my body seventeen years ago, the day before we first met at the Ninja Academy," Minato continued.

"Shiki Fūjin? Minato, are you sure you're not kidding?"

Although Kushina still couldn't digest Minato's words, she knew very well that the Shiki Fūjin was a forbidden technique of the Uzumaki clan.

Minato wasn't surprised at all by Kushina's reaction.

These things are difficult for anyone to accept simply by using language.

In front of Kushina, Minato suddenly formed seals with his hands.

"Buzz!"

The hand seal was completed in an instant. Minato leaned down and pressed his palms on the ground. From his palms, the patterns of the barrier spread out, and then in an instant it turned into a barrier, covering the entire Namikaze family home.

Kushina was stunned. She could tell at a glance that Minato had cast a barrier to block sound and chakra perception.

"What I said may sound a little ridiculous to you now, but it doesn't matter."

As Minato finished his words, extremely astonishing chakra fluctuations were released from his body.

Kushina was still confused, but in a short moment, her expression changed dramatically.

She was already wondering where Minato's chakra, which was even stronger than hers, came from. After all, she inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.

At this moment, in her sensor, Minato's already amazing chakra instantly broke through the limit and became even stronger.

This was not the most surprising thing for her, because in Minato's originally azure blue eyes, there was a faint scarlet color flowing out.

"How is this possible?"

Within the seal within Kushina's body, the Nine-Tailed Fox, which had originally closed its eyes, suddenly opened its eerie vertical pupils, and a look of deep horror emerged in those eyes.

Kushina made the same exclamation as the Nine-Tails, because at this moment, in addition to Minato's own chakra aura, there appeared another aura in his body that she was extremely familiar with, but which would never appear on anyone else.

The breath of the Nine-Tails' chakra!

Chapter 653: Explaining the Whole Story

Minato's originally pure blue eyes were now gradually filled with scarlet.

Every time, whenever he used too much of the Nine-Tails' chakra beyond his own limit, the aura of the tailed beast hidden in his body would be exposed.

This is also the most powerful way to explain the situation to Kushina, because the Nine-Tails is sealed in her body.

There was a deep look of horror on Kushina's face, and at the same time it was full of disbelief.

She subconsciously pressed her hand on her abdomen, where the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed.

Although she was sealed with it, Kushina could also sense the shock of the Nine-Tailed Fox in her body.

"Minato, why is there the Nine-Tails' chakra in your body?" Kushina couldn't help but exclaim.

"This power is brought by another me."

Minato said as his extremely astonishing chakra fluctuations, which caused the air around him to vibrate, quickly absorbed back into his body.

The scarlet color in his eyes also faded away.

"Over the years, I have been in danger several times, and it was because of it that I was able to get through it."

After saying that, Minato looked at Kushina, and the disbelief in her eyes was gradually disappearing.

After all, this chakra that was truly displayed in front of Kushina forced her to believe the truth of what Minato said before.

"What is going on?" Kushina suddenly stretched out her hands, grabbed Minato, and asked anxiously.

Minato's eyes were filled with mixed emotions as he said, "The reason why the other me is here is because of you."

"Me?" Kushina was startled.

"Um!"

Minato nodded firmly. At this moment, his thoughts were completely synchronized with the older Minato in his body. Two souls, using one body, explained to Kushina the secret he had hidden for more than ten years.

"Remember the first day you came to Konoha, when I beat Akasaka Yu?"

"..."

Minato stared into Kushina's eyes intently and explained the whole story to her.

The reason why Minato became violent and attacked Akasaka Yu contrary to his usual behavior was because, in his subconscious mind, he would never allow anyone to hurt Kushina again.

The shock on Kushina's face never left, but she listened carefully to everything Minato said now.

From the night the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha to Minato performing the Reaper Death Seal, spanning time and space, rebirth, and everything that happened afterwards.

There are many details in it. Even though Kushina has been with Minato all the time, she doesn't know how much Minato has paid without her knowing.

By the end of the story, Kushina had thrown herself into Minato's arms, crying uncontrollably.

"Why are you so stupid? You don't have to die, just so that I can see the grown-up Naruto, for that short period of time."

Kushina kept crying and said that what she said now was exactly the same as what she said that night.

Feeling the person in his arms trembling, Minato held her arms even tighter.

Minato whispered softly in Kushina's ear, but his voice was trembling slightly as he said, "Compared to everything you have done for me, what I have done is so insignificant."

"If it weren't for you, how would I have another chance to hold you tightly like I am now!"

It was Kushina who gave him a second life, and it was also Kushina who gave him the opportunity to be a husband and a father here.

"I'm sorry for keeping it from you for so long."

Minato said apologetically, just like Kushina said, there were no secrets between them.

But for some reason, he had to keep it secret until now.

"I understand, I understand everything." In his arms, Kushina shook her head.

Starting over again in life seems simple, but for Minato, there has always been a heavy burden on his heart.

Because he wants to change, wants to turn all imperfections into perfection.

Kushina couldn't fully imagine the difficulty and danger involved.

She knew in her heart many years ago that Minato would give everything for her.

But this feeling still exceeded her expectations.

It spanned time and space.

Kushina finally understood why Minato sometimes became abnormally dazed when they were young.

Even though this memory was sealed, that endless love was already imprinted in Minato's soul.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and it was only after a long time that Kushina's mood gradually calmed down.

"So, there is a Nine-Tailed Fox in your body as well?"

After calming down, Kushina was quite curious, because as the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, she herself possessed powerful perception abilities, so she was unusually sensitive to the Nine-Tails' chakra.

But she had been with Minato day and night for so many years, and although there were some subtle feelings between them, they were not obvious.

"Well, to be exact, it should be half of the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Minato said, what was happening to his body was something even he couldn't fully explain.

His state is similar to that of a Jinchūriki, but it is more ingenious than that of a Jinchūriki.

Because no matter how powerful the seal on the Jinchūriki's body is, there is always a risk of it being broken.

Once the seal is broken, the tailed beast will deprive the Jinchūriki of their consciousness and be resurrected.

But inside Minato's body, the Nine-Tails' consciousness was still lingering on and had not dissipated.

If he wanted to use the power of the Nine-Tails, he wouldn't have to compete with the tailed beast.

In some ways, Minato himself is a more perfect Jinchūriki than Killer Bee of the Kumogakure Village.

If this were not the case, he would not have been able to develop the Rasengan Shuriken at the age of ten.

The record set by Minato is now regarded as a legend by countless people in the ninja world.

But only he himself knows that it is not because he is so talented that no one can compare to him.

Rather, it is the result of a lifetime of experience.

Of course, the Nine-Tailed Fox inside Kushina's body also heard everything. Even with its long life and experience, it was difficult to explain the situation happening to Minato.

"Even the old man..."

Kyuubi thought to himself that even the Sage of Six Paths of the past would not have imagined that such a power existed in this world.

"Can the other self inside you hear what I am saying to you now?" Kushina asked, tilting her head.

"Of course." Minato nodded.

"To be honest, I'm still not used to this kind of situation."

Kushina rolled her eyes upwards, rubbed her chin, and finished her words with that strange gesture.

Minato chuckled at the sight.

After saying all these things, he now feels relieved.

Kushina in front of him pondered for a while, then suddenly stared at Minato and asked curiously.

"By the way, Minato, why did you suddenly decide to tell me all this today?"

Chapter 654: Growing Up with Naruto

"That's because I made a decision."

"And this decision must be approved by you!"

Minato's expression immediately became serious, because he knew that what he was about to say would be strongly opposed by Kushina.

"Just tell me, no matter what it is, I will listen to you."

Kushina smiled, now she knew everything Minato had done for her.

Even if she had to sacrifice her life, she would be willing to do so.

However, Kushina saw a hint of struggle in Minato's eyes at this moment.

Minato also turned his gaze and looked at the closed door. Inside, Naruto was sleeping soundly.

The next moment, he turned his gaze back, stared at Kushina, and said:

"I am going to split the Nine-Tails in your body into two and seal one half into Naruto's body."

After the words fell, the expression on Kushina's face froze for a moment.

Suddenly, she stared into Minato's eyes, and immediately there was a strong surge of emotions. Unable to control her emotions, she shouted loudly: "Why? Are you going to do this again!?"

From Minato's narration just now, Kushina learned that after his other self cast the Shiki Fūjin, he split the Nine-Tails' chakra into two, and in order to maintain the balance of the tailed beasts in the village, he sealed half of it into Naruto's body.

At that time, Minato had no choice. If he didn't do this, the balance of the tailed beasts would be broken, and the war that had just ended would break out again in an instant.

But now history has changed, and the masked man attacked Konoha again, but Minato had successfully stopped him.

Minato and she are both living well in this world.

There is absolutely no need for Naruto to become the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki again!

Looking at Kushina's puzzled eyes, Minato took a deep breath and said, "Indeed. Now we are all still alive. You can suppress the Nine-Tails very well. There is no need for Naruto to become the Jinchūriki again."

"But you should have also realized that the people who attacked the village this time are definitely not simple."

Minato said that if the situation that night was the same as before, with only one masked man, he would be confident that he could deal with him even if his eye power and eye techniques were stronger than they were then.

But the situation became more complicated and tricky, not only was there a rebel ninja from Takigakure who lived in the same period as the First Hokage, but what made Minato feel even more difficult was the black-robed man who almost destroyed Konoha.

Kushina's beautiful eyes also narrowed slightly.

Because that night, she did sense something familiar from the chakra fluctuations of the black-robed man.

"But you've managed to stop them, haven't you?"

"Based on what you and Konoha have accomplished now."

Indeed, even though the masked man and the man in black robe were very difficult to deal with, Minato and the people of Konoha still stopped them.

"If that's all, I won't let my child bear all this."

Minato said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember what Jiraiya-sensei once said about the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage?"

Kushina nodded. Jiraiya had mentioned the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage and the so-called Child of Prophecy in front of her.

"Before the Second Ninja World War broke out, the Great Toad Sage once made a prophecy to me. Although I am not the child of prophecy, I have the opportunity to prevent the disaster that will sweep across the entire Ninja World in the future."

"A month ago, the Great Toad Sage asked me to go to Mount Myoboku late at night. The Sage told me that I had failed."

Minato said, and Kushina hesitated for a moment, then said: "Even if you didn't kill the masked man as expected this time, you did stop him."

"Yeah," Minato said, and so far he had the same idea as Kushina.

However, these were not the factors that really made him make the decision.

"That day, the sage told me that a long time ago, he had seen the Sage of Six Paths and made a prophecy about him."

"The Sage of Six Paths actually exists!?"

Kushina was shocked. Even though she discussed theoretical knowledge a lot when she was in Ninja School, she didn't even have a good grasp of Konoha's history.

But she is from the Uzumaki clan after all, and the long history of that clan is no less than that of the Senju and Uchiha clan.

She had heard of the legend of the Sage of Six Paths.

"In the prophecy, the Great Toad Sage told the Six Paths Sage that in the distant future, a blue-eyed boy would appear who would happily call out the names of the nine tailed beasts."

"The blue-eyed boy who called upon the names of the nine tailed beasts..."

Kushina murmured at first, then she thought of something and placed her palm on her lower abdomen.

"The nine tailed beasts... you don't mean..."

Minato nodded and said, "I think so too. The so-called nine tailed beasts are exactly that—the nine tailed beasts."

"Laughing and calling out the names of the nine tailed beasts."

Kushina's expression changed slightly. As the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki for more than ten years, she knew very well what the Nine-Tails' power represented.

In her opinion, the Nine-Tailed Fox is the embodiment of hatred.

The power it possesses is so terrifying that it is even enough to suppress the world.

But her power happens to be able to suppress the Nine-Tails.

From this point of view, both the Nine-Tails and she are very unfortunate.

Therefore, it was difficult for Kushina to imagine what kind of boy would call out to the Nine-Tails and other tailed beasts with a smile.

"You mean, the young man in the prophecy, could it be..." Kushina's beautiful eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened.

"Yes, the boy in the prophecy, the child of prophecy that Jiraiya-sensei has been searching for, should be Naruto. That's what I believe."

Minato said that in fact, the information he currently had was not enough to support him to make such a judgment.

This was more like a prediction of the future, but for some reason, Minato was so convinced of it.

"Is that your judgment?" Kushina frowned and clenched her hands slowly.

"I know that this judgment is a bit uncertain. Now that I am still alive, I should bear all of this. If I can, I will never put it on Naruto's shoulders."

"But I can't be so selfish. I know all these possibilities and what the future might hold."

"I can't put all the pressure on myself. Some things need to be entrusted to others."

Minato said that perhaps others would think that his thoughts were cowardly.

However, Minato knew from a long time ago that some things in this world cannot be accomplished by one person alone.

Just like the Third Ninja World War, although he made great contributions, without other companions, he alone would not be able to achieve the final victory.

He cannot ignore the possibility of the future, even though it seems very uncertain at the moment.

"I understand your thoughts, but you should also know that as a Jinchūriki, this child's life is..."

Kushina knew Minato, and he had a reason for making such a decision.

"I know."

Minato's expression was also somewhat complicated.

"I once entrusted my future to Naruto, but things are different now."

"Even as a Jinchūriki, as parents we will be by Naruto's side, accompany him as he grows, and help him open up a new future, right?"

Chapter 655: Husband and Wife Are of One Mind

Kushina looked very conflicted. She looked into Minato's eyes. Just as she had said before, she would not question any decision made by Minato.

But this matter concerns Naruto's life.

As parents, they were making this decision for their child when he was still young and ignorant, which was a bit arbitrary.

"Naruto inherited your bloodline. With his physique, he will not be in any danger as a Jinchūriki."

Minato said that although Naruto did not have chakra yet, with his physique and Minato's sealing techniques, as a Jinchūriki, his life would not be in danger.

Secondly, what Kushina was most worried about was actually Naruto's growth process. Because of her special identity as a Jinchūriki, she could not leave the village and perform missions as a normal ninja without Minato's company.

"Also, after splitting the Nine-Tails' power in two, even after Naruto becomes a ninja, he will be able to go out of the village and perform missions like a normal ninja."

"You too."

As long as Minato can successfully divide the power of the Nine-Tails into two, Konoha will have two Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

Therefore, in the future, if Kushina and Naruto stagger the time of their missions, there won't be any problems.

Because he is the Hokage, he will never impose any restrictions on Naruto.

He can play, grow and perform tasks with his peers like a normal child.

"This is what I think. You are Naruto's mother, so if you don't agree with this, I won't do it."

"I am Naruto's father and the Hokage of Konoha Village. This responsibility and possibility should also be borne by me."

Minato didn't want to see Kushina struggling like that, and for her and Naruto, he would give his life without hesitation.

No matter what kind of enemies he will face in the future, he will never allow his wife to be harmed.

"It's getting late. I know this is a difficult decision, so I will wait for your answer."

Minato comforted Kushina and stretched out his hand to place it on her shoulder.

At this moment, Kushina suddenly reached out and placed her hand on the back of Minato's hand.

"Since you believe that in the future, Naruto, as a Jinchūriki, has the potential to change the world."

"So as a mother, I also believe in my son and husband."

"No matter what happens in the future, our family of three will always be together and face it together!"

Even though Kushina couldn't fully accept Minato's decision yet, she believed in this man who had traveled across time and space and sacrificed his life for her.

He is Naruto's father and would never harm his son.

"Yes!"

Minato turned his hand over and interlocked his fingers with Kushina's, staring into each other's eyes firmly.

"Thank you for agreeing to my selfish decision."

Kushina shook her head and said, "No, from the beginning, you have had to bear more than anyone else."

She was well aware of the inner struggle he had gone through in making this decision.

And what Minato has to endure will only be more than her.

With Kushina's approval, Minato finally put his biggest worry to rest.

So the only thing left now is to convey his ideas to the rest of the Konoha high-ranking officials.

The next day, early morning.

After saying goodbye to Kushina and Naruto early, Minato returned to the Hokage's office and immediately ordered his Anbu to find the Third Hokage and the two Konoha consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.

Out of some precaution, he did not inform Danzo.

The Third Hokage and two advisors arrived in the Hokage's office.

"Yondaime, why did you suddenly summon the three of us here? What's the matter?"

Utatane Koharu asked. If the Hokage didn't have something important to discuss or announce, he wouldn't call them all over at the same time.

Facing these three seniors, Minato stood up and said, "These past few days, I have been thinking about that night when the masked man and others attacked Konoha."

"Since they took advantage of Kushina's childbirth, there is no guarantee that they will not come back again in the future."

When the three elders heard this, their eyes flickered slightly.

What Minato said was indeed a possibility.

Because Konoha had just experienced a major change recently. Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, defected from the village, and Jiraiya, as his pursuer, also left the village.

"Of course I will do my best to guard against it, but there are always unexpected things. After all, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light."

"If their plan succeeds and they get the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body, things will to bad."

Minato said that the Third Hokage had witnessed the masked man's eye power with his own eyes that night.

Those who knew the past history knew that this powerful eye power could even tame the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"So, in order to prevent what might happen in the future, I plan to split the Nine-Tails' power and create another Nine-Tails Jinchūriki."

"Creating another Nine-Tails Jinchūriki? What does that mean?"

Several senior officials were puzzled. As far as they knew, there was only one Nine-Tails in the world, so how could they create another Jinchūriki?

Minato immediately explained to them: "Through studying the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, I have a way to split the Nine-Tails' chakra in Kushina's body into two."

"Is it possible to do such a thing?"

The faces of several people changed. The Uzumaki clan's sealing technique was so profound that even the Third Hokage, who was known as the Professor of Ninjutsu, only had a superficial understanding of it.

Among the three, only the Third Hokage's expression changed slightly after hearing Minato's thoughts, as if he was pondering something.

"Even if it's half the power of the Nine-Tails, an ordinary ninja wouldn't be able to withstand it, right?"

The Third Hokage said that he had participated in the sealing ceremony of the Nine-Tails and knew how powerful that force was.

Only Kushina, who inherited the physique of the Uzumaki clan, can withstand the chakra of the Nine-Tails.

If you want to create another Jinchūriki, not only do you have to separate the Nine-Tails' power, you also have to find someone with a physique that can withstand the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Such a person is extremely difficult to find. Konoha had gone to great lengths to find Kushina.

Minato nodded. Even though his body had not been transformed by the Nine-Tails before, his chakra was definitely not low among ninjas.

But with his body, he could hardly withstand the heavy chakra of the Nine-Tails.

"So, the other half of the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki must be someone who inherits the Uzumaki clan's physique," Minato said.

"Where should we look for such a person?" Utatane Koharu frowned.

"No need to look for it. There is someone in the village right now who has inherited the Uzumaki bloodline."

"Hmm?"

When Minato finished speaking, both advisors were stunned.

As far as they know, in Konoha now, apart from Kushina, are there any other members of the Uzumaki clan?

At this time, the Third Hokage standing beside them changed his expression, and looked at Minato with trembling eyes, saying:

"Fourth Hokage, do you want to seal the other half of the Nine-Tails into your newborn child!?"
