Compared to the sunny and handsome Minato Namikaze, Uzumaki Naruto's face is angular and he doesn't have that kind of friendliness.

The divine robe with a flame pattern is indeed very suitable for Minato Namikaze, but in Naruto Uzumaki's eyes, the big words "Fourth-generation Hokage" are more attractive.

It seems that Minato Namikaze's attempt to give Uzumaki Naruto a good first impression was not very successful.

Although the man in front of him who claimed to be his father did satisfy many of his fantasies about his father, it always felt a little unreal.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to see your father? A hug is fine!"

Looking at Minato Namikaze with his arms spread out, Uzumaki Naruto walked up and hugged Minato Namikaze unconsciously.

"How about a father's embrace?"

“Not warm enough!”

Naruto seemed a little angry as he muttered in a muffled voice.

"I'm really sorry. After all, I'm no longer alive!"

It's just a trace of obsession carried by a little chakra, and it's just a derivative of some of the emotions of the original body, just like a holographic projection that can use some power and has limited touch.

"I'm not complaining!"

"Yeah, I'm sorry you've suffered all these years."

Namikaze Minato stroked Naruto's messy blond hair.

"It seems that you are doing well. I feel relieved. It seems that the Third Generation Master has not forgotten what I said..."

"Three generations died years ago!"

"I know……"

Tsunade had already become the fifth generation, and judging by the crisis in the ninja world before her death, she was most likely killed in the battle.

"It's a pity, but the Hokage has devoted himself to the village, so it's not worth it... By the way, were these weird time and space markings on your body also set by Mizuki?"

Naruto nodded:

"Yes, Granny Tsunade is just too worried. With my strength, I no longer need them to keep an eye on me all the time, but they always treat me like a child who never grows up!"

“I see…”

Namikaze Minato smiled. The matter concerning the Nine-Tails was of great importance, so everyone had to act with caution.

"It seems that Shuimu has also reproduced the Flying Thunder God Technique. What an unexpected genius idea..."

Namikaze Minato, who became famous for his Flying Thunder God Technique, naturally saw through the reality of the space marks set up by Mizuki at a glance. Although it was a bit specious, his insights based on sealing techniques were still quite brilliant.

Although he also lamented that it might be safer for Naruto if he didn't leave the key to the Eight Trigrams Seal, he and his wife Uzumaki Kushina would not be able to use chakra to carry obsession to hide inside the seal and help Naruto at the critical moment.

On top of the original Bagua seal, Shuimu added some genius sealing techniques, which were ideas that he and his wife had studied for many years but were not necessarily able to perfectly reproduce.

Not only that, after making up for the disadvantages of using the key to open the Bagua Seal, some sensitive back doors were left unchecked, and it was obvious that there were some problems inside.

With Shuimu's attainments in sealing techniques, it is impossible that he had not discovered it, and it is definitely impossible that he could not solve it.

But Mizuki still turned a blind eye to this, which means that he should have some understanding of the condition inside Naruto's body and knows that there is another mystery behind the seal in Naruto's body!

As for these things, apart from himself and his wife Uzumaki Kushina who were already dead, only the Third Generation might know something about these secrets. Logically, these secrets should not be known by a young junior. It is also impossible for the Third Generation to tell these secrets to Mizuki, with whom he has no close relationship.

Unable to figure out these unsolved mysteries, Namikaze Minato had to temporarily put them behind him, looking at the fruit of his and Uzumaki Kushina's love, and said with some emotion:

"It seems that the village has educated you well. I feel relieved. I haven't been with you for so many years. It's hard!"

Although it spends most of its time dormant in Uzumaki Naruto's body to save energy, it can still sense when Naruto is overly emotional, just like this time, when it can come out to clean up the mess at the critical moment.

Naruto, who had been experiencing the long-lost family affection, still felt a little dizzy.

"Naruto, I'm sorry, I don't have much time. If possible, see you next time!"

Although I may not remember what happened now next time, I can’t say for sure. The will carried by the chakra may lead to some miracles if we really meet again.

"Why is it ending so soon?"

Naruto, who has not had enough experience or much sense of reality, is about to experience separation.

"There is nothing I can do about it. After all, I am just a dead man. I don't have much strength to maintain my personality and will."

Minato Namikaze, whose figure gradually became blurred, continued speaking.

"Remember, don't feel resentment. The Nine-Tailed Fox in your body is not your enemy..."

With the disappearance of the last trace of chakra fluctuation, the sunny man with inherent kindness disappeared in front of Uzumaki Naruto.

"I still have some questions..."

Before Uzumaki Naruto could finish his words, the surroundings returned to silence. He felt dazed for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, the small and unimpressive waterfall was still in front of him.

"Is it over?"

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke hurried forward and asked with concern.

“Ah… Yeah!”

The transition between reality and illusion made Uzumaki Naruto a little confused. Apart from the dark side of his heart that just appeared, he had a feeling that everything that happened in the spiritual space was unreal.

Even including the Fourth Hokage who claimed to be his father, Naruto could not tell whether what happened there was real or just his imagination.

After saying a few perfunctory words, Naruto felt a wave of weakness in his body.

"You should rest for a while. You haven't had any food for a long time. Your body is almost at its limit."

A normal person would be in danger of death if he does not eat for seven days and does not drink water for three days. Ninjas have very strong physiques and can endure much higher limits, but they are also limited. With Naruto's body not fully grown and still struggling mentally all the time, the fact that he has been able to hold on until now is already the result of the Uzumaki family's extraordinary bloodline talent.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, what kind of person is my father?"

After hesitating for a long time, Uzumaki Naruto finally asked this question.

If it is true as the blond man said, that his father is the Fourth Hokage, then there must be someone who knows him, and there must be someone who knows his life experience. Given the identity of Sensei Hatake Kakashi and his status in Konoha Village, he should know about it.

But why has no one ever said it themselves?
