"Oh, oh, tell me more about Hinata! How old was she when she fell in love with you?"
After their long embrace and heartfelt words, four of them calmed down. Kushina immediately started talking about Naruto's situation.
When she learned that Naruto had married Hinata Hyuga in the future, and it was Hinata who loved him first, she couldn't stop her curiosity.
Her words made Naruto blush fiercely as he shook his head and said.
"I don't know. How can I know?"
"Hahaha! Kushina, you won't believe the truth. Hinata fell in love with him when she was only seven years old."
"Kurama!"
Naruto roared with embarrassment.
He wasn't embarrassed by being in love with Hinata. He was embarrassed that without those memories, he wouldn't have known Hinata's intention.
Kushina couldn't help but feel a headache.
"So, it took you a decade and more just to figure out that Hinata is in love with you?"
As she said, she couldn't help but punch Minato in the head.
"You let him have your hair, why couldn't you let him have your emotional intelligence?"
Minato rubbed his head and said.
"Kushina, if Naruto had realized her love early, it would only be bad for him."
Kushina and Naruto showed a confused look, so Minato had no choice but to explain.
"Even under extreme circumstances, these families do not allow their family members to marry outside the family."
"While they wouldn't be able to do much about Naruto, they would definitely create more trouble while he was still a child."
"The main reason why they couldn't stop Naruto's marriage was due to his status as the Greatest Hero of the World."
"Even if they hadn't participated in the final battle, they had seen Madara's strength. Both Naruto and Sasuke were able to defeat Madara."
"So, if they try to break up Naruto and Hinata, they would immediately be shunned by the whole village."
"And I am not talking about the civilians. I am talking about most of the ninja families."
"Whether it was Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, Aburame, Anbu, Hokage, and even the majority of civilian ninjas, everyone had a good relationship with Naruto."
"Especially the next heads of those families were the closest friends of Naruto. That's why in Naruto's memories, there wasn't a lot of rejection from the Hyuga Clan."
"But if Naruto had been in love with Hinata from a younger age, they would've even put Caged Bird Seal on Hinata at an early age."
"Of course, Naruto would still reach the heights he would, but there would definitely be a conflict between Naruto and the Hyuga Clan."
"And that is not good for anyone."
Hearing that, both mother and son realized the situation. Especially Naruto, who realized just how coincidental his life was.
If he hadn't met Mizuki, he wouldn't have learned Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and started his journey.
If he hadn't met Haku, he wouldn't have formed his Ninja Way and stuck with it.
If he hadn't met Gaara, he wouldn't have understood the pain and consequences of being a Jinchuriki or even helped Gaara.
If he hadn't met Jiraiya, he wouldn't have grown up to be what he became.
If he hadn't convinced Nagato, he wouldn't have become the Hero of the Leaf Village.
If he hadn't become Hero of the Ninja World, he wouldn't have married Hinata so easily.
There were so many things that happened so perfectly that without those, he wouldn't have achieved what he did.
Understanding this was harder than accepting it.
Because this meant his life could turn for the worse at any moment if he made a single mistake.
He couldn't help but question himself.
Should he really change anything?
Except for his lack of strength after meeting Otsutsuki, he certainly achieved everything he wanted.
So, why change anything?
But if he didn't change anything, what was the point of those memories?
At this moment, Kurama snorted.
"Hey, Naruto! Are you just going to admit defeat?"
As soon as he heard that, Naruto retorted.
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say you would break your fate to Neji? Are you just going to ignore that and do nothing?"
Hearing that, Naruto clenched his fist.
"Of course not! I promise him that I will break the fate that holds me. I am sorry for having that doubt, Kurama."
His words brought a smile to the faces of Kushina and Minato while Kurama snorted and looked away, but there was a smirk on his face.
They couldn't watch Naruto feeling down.
He was the nail that connected them all.
Naruto suddenly felt deflated as he looked at his parents and asked.
"But I don't know what I should do next?"
He was confused. Should he go and meet Hinata and try to establish their relationship?
Should he ignore her for now? Should he do something else?
"For now, there isn't a lot to do. But I do want to give you some advice, Naruto. It's your decision whether you want to do it or not."
Kurama spoke.
All three of them turned towards him as Kurama continued.
"During the chaos of the Konoha Invasion, kill the two elders and put the blame on Danzo. You and he both have Wind Release."
"Hey, Naruto can't do that!"
Minato didn't speak, but Kushina worriedly shouted. She didn't want to turn her son into a killer.
Although ninjas were considered killers, it didn't mean her son must kill someone, and that someone was from the village.
On the other hand, Minato had different ideas.
Unlike Kushina, he had seen Naruto's childhood. So, he didn't have much affection for the village elders.
Especially Danzo, who put the hatred of the entire village on his child just to keep them united.
If Minato could, he would definitely leave the seal and assassinate this man.
Before Naruto could say anything, Minato spoke.
"Kurama is right, Naruto. Their existence can be a hindrance to you. And putting the blame on Danzo means Sasuke will not face any problem even if he kills Danzo."
At this moment, Kurama also said.
"And, don't forget what Sai told you."
