Fourth Hokage?
Just as the Nine-Tails was about to burst through the door, it saw this figure, its eyes flashing with rage, and it let out a deafening roar.
He would never forget the man who had cleaved him in two.
Minato Namikaze is even more hateful than Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju!
"Nine-Tails!" Minato Namikaze turned around and glanced at the roaring Nine-Tails. "If I could, I really wouldn't want to see you again."
"Fourth Hokage!" Hearing that familiar voice, Kurama could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart. "You bastard, die!"
The Nine-Tails's enormous claws were about to strike Minato Namikaze.
At this critical moment, several golden chains suddenly burst forth from Naruto's body, binding the Nine-Tails tightly.
Immediately afterward, Kushina Uzumaki's figure also appeared in this mental space.
At this moment, Black Zetsu, Kurama, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Naruto Uzumaki gathered together.
Aside from Naruto Uzumaki looking completely bewildered and unaware of what was happening, Black Zetsu and Kurama were both staring intently at the Fourth Hokage and his wife.
When Minato Namikaze sealed half of the Nine-Tails inside Naruto Uzumaki, he left a contingency plan by sealing a portion of his own chakra and that of Kushina Uzumaki into Naruto's body.
Whenever Naruto Uzumaki unleashes his eight tails, Minato Namikaze's chakra would appear.
When the seal was completely broken, Kushina Uzumaki's chakra would also appear, helping Naruto Uzumaki seize the Nine-Tails's chakra.
At this moment, as Gerotora fully opened the seal, the chakra of the two appeared simultaneously in this mental space.
"Nine-Tails, don't even think about hurting Naruto in front of me," Kushina Uzumaki said, using the Adamantine Sealing Chains to control Kurama, the Nine-Tails.
"Kushina, you bastard!"
The Nine-Tails was furious, but being arrogant, he disdained to explain anything.
When it came to deceiving people, one had to let Black Zetsu handle it.
"Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki, quickly release Kurama! There's a misunderstanding here," Black Zetsu said quickly, seeing Kurama's proud yet pleading eyes.
"Who are you?" Minato Namikaze had noticed Black Zetsu early on. "Why are you inside Naruto? I don't remember having your chakra when we sealed him away."
Minato Namikaze's chakra, although always attached to Naruto Uzumaki's body, had been unaware of what was happening outside.
In his previous life, all he knew was the death of Jiraiya and the debate between Pain and Naruto about peace.
It was highly likely that Naruto gained awareness of the outside world only after entering Sage Mode.
Before this, he had been unable to perceive the outside world.
At that time, he appeared in Naruto's mental space. Seeing that Naruto did not recognize him, he said in surprise, "It seems that the Third Hokage did not tell you anything."
Therefore, it could be concluded that, at least during this period, Minato Namikaze had been completely unaware of his surroundings.
"This is a long story, back to the time of the Sage of Six Paths," Black Zetsu said, his tone revealing a sense of vicissitude as he began to tell stories, which he was most good at.
Minato Namikaze: "..."
Uzumaki Kushina: "..."
No!
He just wanted to ask who he was. How did it trace back a thousand years?
He did not ask about the origin of ninjas!
Despite their utter bewilderment, the two listened silently as Black Zetsu told his story.
"In short, Naruto is the reincarnation of my chakra."
"Furthermore, because his chakra resonated with the Nine-Tails's chakra, it awakened my Asura chakra."
"I think you two understand what I'm saying?"
Black Zetsu recounted the story he had told Naruto Uzumaki before, and then addressed the two of them.
"You are Asura Otsutsuki, the second son of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, and my son Naruto is the reincarnation of your chakra?" Kushina Uzumaki asked, looking at Black Zetsu with some disbelief.
The name of the Sage of Six Paths was also recorded in the ancient books of the Uzumaki clan.
Although it was just a few words, it succinctly explained that the other party was the progenitor of ninjas, a great figure who created the profession of ninja.
Chakra had also spread to the ninja world through his hands.
These few words alone were enough to demonstrate how powerful the Sage of Six Paths was.
"That's right!" Black Zetsu nodded. "Naruto, you bear the heavy responsibility of saving the world and bringing peace to the ninja world."
"With my help, Kurama is willing to assist him and help him become a perfect Jinchūriki."
"As long as the three of us work together with one heart, we will surely be able to fulfill the Sage of Six Paths's long-cherished wish, as well as what I was unable to accomplish back then."
As soon as Black Zetsu uttered those words, both Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were stunned.
Even Minato Namikaze, who had sealed the Nine-Tails inside his son, never imagined that his son would be so important.
His original plan was simply to have his son use the power of the Nine-Tails to defeat the masked man who had invaded Konoha.
Now that his son had suddenly become the hope of the entire ninja world, was not the pressure on him a bit too great?
"Excuse my bluntness, but why do you think Naruto can do something that even you and the Sage of Six Paths could not?" Minato Namikaze spoke respectfully, but he remained wary and did not fully trust Black Zetsu.
"When the Sage of Six Paths developed this technique, he was already on the verge of death and unable to use it."
"And I also have an older brother, this unfilial son, who is extremely evil and inhuman, just because he failed to become the successor of the Ninja Sect."
"He has always been against me, doing everything he can to prevent me from leading the people of the ninja world toward true peace. Even after he died, his chakra continued to reincarnate, preventing people's happiness time and time again."
"But this time, I woke up early and led Naruto to gain the upper hand. He can no longer stop me."
Black Zetsu's voice was filled with grief and indignation, and his words carried a strange, infectious quality.
It immediately drew the listener in, making them hate the so-called unfilial son along with him.
"You... really have a strong will," Kushina Uzumaki chuckled dryly. "The person who can stop you time and time again must be no ordinary person, right?"
She was eager to know what kind of person that so-called unfilial son would be reincarnated as.
In this way, one could also judge whether their own Naruto was capable of shouldering this important task.
"Of course, in my previous life I was reincarnated as the First Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju."
"This was the most promising time to achieve peace in a thousand years. I was born in a chaotic world and relied on the power of Mokuton to end the chaotic Warring States period and establish a system of one village per country."
"The collection of the tailed beasts and their distribution to various countries were all progressing in a positive direction. However, at the crucial moment, he awakened Indra's power first!"
"Not only did he control the Nine-Tails, but he also attempted to destroy the hard-won peace. It was during my battle with him that I absorbed the Nine-Tails's chakra and finally awakened the power of Asura."
