Looking at the open gate, even the Nine Tails, who had always acted indifferent, showed a slight flicker in its eyes.
Its body, which had been lying down like a mountain, slowly stood up and took a step forward.
"Kid, you..."
The Nine Tails just wanted to say something, but it had only just opened its mouth when, before it could react—
Whoosh—
Clang clang—
A sound like a whip cutting through the air, and the crisp sound of metal colliding, immediately echoed within the Sealing Space.
Under Naruto's playful gaze and Minato Namikaze's surprised watch,
several metal chains flew out from the shadows behind, binding all four of the Nine Tails' limbs and its mouth.
Both Naruto and Minato Namikaze looked towards the back.
They saw a red-haired woman in a green dress, who had appeared in the Sealing Space at some point.
And those chains that bound the Nine Tails were extending from behind this woman in the green dress.
That fiery red hair, flying about, was like a burning flame.
"Kushina..."
Tears were already streaming down Minato Namikaze's face, and he couldn't wait to rush forward.
"Ugh ugh ugh?!"
The Nine Tails, suddenly bound, could only helplessly shake its head, trying to break free from these damned chains. It clearly hadn't done anything, so why was it being tied up?
Naruto couldn't help but chuckle at the Nine Tails's embarrassed appearance.
The red-haired woman, noticing the strange gazes of the others, gradually calmed the hair behind her. Not yet understanding the current situation,
she scratched her head in confusion, and said with a somewhat serious expression, "Minato, what are you still watching for?"
"The Nine Tails is about to escape, hurry up and stop it."
Upon hearing this, the Nine Tails struggled even harder. It wasn't trying to escape at all; it was her son, Uzumaki Naruto, who wanted to open the seal himself. What did it have to do with this honest fox?
However, the Adamantine Sealing Chains were indeed a Tailed Beast-specific weapon, and the Nine Tails couldn't break free immediately.
Of course, it was also possible that the Nine Tails wasn't really putting in much effort, as it was truly afraid that if it accidentally used too much force, Kushina Uzumaki would disappear on the spot.
Naruto seemed to value her quite a bit.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze quickly ran to Kushina's side to explain.
"It's not that the Nine Tails is trying to escape, it's that Naruto opened the seal himself."
"Ah?"
Kushina was instantly stunned in place. Having dealt with the Nine Tails for so many years, she didn't immediately understand what he meant.
Minato Namikaze sighed, looking at Kushina's not-so-bright appearance, and continued to explain.
"Nine Tails has already acknowledged Naruto and is willing to lend its power to Naruto for use, so Naruto intends to undo the seal."
"Really?!"
Kushina Uzumaki was so excited upon hearing this that she almost jumped up. She had worked so hard for so long, only managing to use a portion of Nine Tails' power, and even that was snatched away by her own Adamantine Sealing Chains.
She never expected her son to gain Nine Tails' approval, which meant he could become a Perfect Jinchuriki.
Kushina turned sideways, her face full of joy as she looked at Naruto, who was standing behind Minato Namikaze, watching them.
"Naruto?"
"Naruto! I'm your mother. With Nine Tails, you'll definitely become the next Hokage..."
Kushina waved at Naruto, lifting her leg to run towards him, wanting to take a good look at her grown-up child.
However, she was stopped by Minato Namikaze, who grabbed her hand before she could take two steps.
Minato Namikaze knew that he had to explain things himself at this point. If it were like before, when Naruto showed him his memories...
Kushina would definitely beat him to a pulp. After all, Kushina wanted him to stay and take care of Naruto back then...
"What's wrong?"
Kushina looked at Minato with a puzzled expression.
Minato Namikaze smiled wryly and then recounted the events of the past years in detail.
"This is how it happened..."
Kushina's expression slowly changed from initial excitement to gloom, then to distortion, and finally to rage...
Her hair, which had calmed down, began to float up again, little by little, for reasons unknown.
Naruto shook his head as he watched the couple talking.
Kushina Uzumaki is indeed a reckless...unrestrained Ninja.
She completely failed to notice Nine Tails, who was still bound and had given up after struggling without success.
Naruto simply walked over to Nine Tails and stroked its soft fur to comfort it.
"Damn it! Those old geezers actually dared to treat Naruto like that!?"
At this moment, Kushina, having just finished listening to Minato Namikaze's account of Naruto's childhood experiences, let out an angry roar.
A vein popped out on her forehead, and her red hair began to writhe wildly.
She thought her child would grow up healthy and strong under Konoha's protection, but instead, he had lived such a life.
"Yeah, I didn't expect them to..."
Minato Namikaze felt a pang of sadness in his heart upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's angry roar, even though so much time had passed.
However, the sadness in his heart was quickly overshadowed by the pain on his head.
Bang!
The next moment, Kushina's fist, filled with rage, landed on his head.
"Ugh!"
Minato Namikaze grunted on the spot. Kushina hadn't held back at all with that punch; she really wasn't afraid of knocking him out with one blow.
However, he could have easily dodged that punch.
But he didn't choose to dodge because he knew that would only add fuel to the fire.
Moreover, he also bore a large part of the responsibility for Naruto's situation.
Back then, Kushina had wanted to seal the Nine Tails back into her body and die together with it, then have him take care of Naruto.
But in order to keep the Nine Tails in the village, he chose to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, sealing half within his own body and the other half onto Naruto.
At that time, Kushina had asked him, "If we both die, what will happen to Naruto?"
But at the time, he naively believed that the village would definitely take good care of Naruto.
Only the final result made him want to slap himself in the face.
"Kushina, it's all my fault..."
"Of course, it's all your fault!"
Minato Namikaze wanted to apologize, but before he could finish speaking, several more punches landed on his head, rendering him speechless.
After venting her anger with a few more punches, Kushina looked at Naruto with a face full of heartache.
With a flash, she arrived in front of Naruto, tearfully saying, "Waaah, I'm sorry, Naruto. It's all because your mom and dad were too useless, leaving you alone in the village to suffer."
As Kushina spoke, she was about to hug Naruto, but Naruto flashed his body and directly dodged.
"Naruto?"
Kushina's expression became somewhat aggrieved as she missed the hug, looking at Naruto pitifully.
Naruto ignored her, a blue Chakra appearing in his hand, which he injected into Kushina's body.
Then he looked at Minato Namikaze and said.
"Explain it to her, I'll leave first."
"Naruto!"
Before Kushina could recover from her surprise, Naruto disappeared from the Sealing Space.
Minato Namikaze sighed again and walked to Kushina's side, saying.
"Let me tell you about Naruto's experiences over the years..."
And the Nine Tails, who should have had the strongest presence, found that none of the family of three paid any attention to him. After "wooing" once,
He simply split off a small Nine Tails clone, eating snacks while watching the show.
