Chapter 699 The Red Line of Destiny

Needless to say, Naruto immediately recognized the red-haired girl as his mother Kushina Uzumaki.

"Wow! My mother at that time was so cute and beautiful! Uncle, when she was in the ninja school, my mother must have been the most attention-grabbing gentle beauty!" Naruto began to gossip excitedly.

Quick Zhan's expression froze for a moment: "Uh...it really attracted a lot of attention. In fact, Kushina's nickname at the time was [Blood Red Pepper]."

"……what?"

"On the first day of school, Kushina made a big promise to be the first female Hokage, but was ridiculed by her classmates for being overconfident and gave her the nickname "Tomato" because of her red hair and round face. The story spread so loudly that even our seniors knew about it.”

Quick Zhan rarely showed an embarrassing smile:
"This group of boys became more and more noisy and outrageous, and they yelled every day. As a result, Kushina followed these boys to a remote corner and grabbed them one by one, pressed them to the ground and beat them violently. So Kushina got a new nickname [Blood Red] chili】."

"..." Naruto also laughed twice, not knowing what to say.

Quick Zhan looked at the red-haired girl, his eyes full of nostalgia: "No matter what others say, in my opinion, Kushina is a kind and enthusiastic cute girl. By the way, she was not born in Konoha Village, but from Whirlpool Village."

"Uzushio Village?" Naruto seemed to have heard Suizan mention this name.

Quick Zhan waved his hand and manifested a green vest of Konoha Jominin in front of Naruto and turned it over to reveal the swirl logo on the back:

"Yes, the Uzushio Village in the Uzumaki Country and the Konoha Village in the Fire Country are good allies for generations. The Uzumaki logo behind the uniforms of Konoha Murakami and Chunin is the embodiment of the friendship between the two countries for generations. There's a similar logo on the back of that orange coat you used to love to wear. Red hair is the Maelstrom."

"But why did mother come to Muye Village? Wouldn't it be better to stay with my own people in Uzumaki Village?"

"This starts with Uzumaki Mito. She is the wife of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama. In order to help the first Hokage seal the Kyuubi, she came to Konoha Village and became the first Kyuubi Jinchuriki."

Quick Zhan pointed to Naruto's abdomen:

"Later, Uzumaki Mito was getting old, and Konoha Village had to find a second Hinjuriki qualified person before she died. Therefore, Uzumaki Kushina was selected and brought to Konoha Village."

"..." Naruto felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that his mother was being used.

"You don't need to put on that face. When Kushina came to Konoha Village, Uzushio Village had already been destroyed, and at first Kushina didn't know her mission. After that happened, she began to understand about Jinzhuli and one's own destiny."

"That thing? What's the matter?" Naruto asked curiously.

"That was a kidnapping operation against Jiu Xinnai by Yunyin Village."

Su Zhan's expression became very serious:
"Because of the Uzumaki clan's strong vitality, huge chakra, and excellent special sealing technique, the Uzumaki clan is recognized by the ninja world as the best candidates for Jinjuriki."

The image in front of Naruto's eyes began to flash rapidly, and soon turned into a forest in the dark.

Kushina, who had obviously grown up a bit, had her hands tied behind her back, and three strange ninjas wearing Yunyin forehead guards led her walking towards the depths of the distant woods.

"Bastard! Let go of Mom!"

Naruto was furious, and subconsciously rolled out a spiral pill and threw it at the Yunyin ninjas, but it was in vain. Then he remembered that he was in the illusion world of Uncle Quick Zhan, and he couldn't help showing an embarrassed smile.

"Kushinna was kidnapped by three Yunyin jounin one night, and they took her all the way to the border of the Land of Fire. After Konoha found out, he immediately sent pursuers to look for it, but found nothing."

Quick Slash pointed to the direction of the group:
"That's the border of the Land of Fire. Once Konoha crosses the border, Kushina will never be found again."

"Then what should we do?" Naruto ran around anxiously.

Quick Zhan squatted down and looked at an inconspicuous long red hair on the ground: "Kushina is very smart, she kept pulling out her hair and throwing it on the road to mark it when the escort escorting her was not paying attention. But because Yunyin ninjas are very cunning, making their trajectories impossible to be discovered in a short time."

Just when Kushina was about to be taken away from the border, Naruto noticed that there seemed to be a golden flash between the distant forests.

Immediately afterwards, those Yunyin jounin were knocked down by two people in an instant.The remaining Yunyin Shangren came back to his senses and immediately slashed against the golden light with Kunai in his hand, and a dazzling but short-lived fire burst out in the dark woodland.

Clang!Clang!Clang!
The two figures kept fighting and interlacing, and quickly jumped up along the towering tree.

After another blazing fight, the two sides landed on the thick branches on both sides of the towering tree.

On the left, Yunyin Kamijino bowed his body and assumed an attacking posture, clutching the kunai in his hand.On the right side is a blond boy, that familiar handsome face made Naruto shout excitedly——

"It's Dad! Dad is here to save Mom!"

I saw Minato wearing a Konoha forehead protector, and his expression was no longer a sunny smile but a cold and serious face. Even though he was only a teenage ninja, his aura was no less than those of Yunyin jonin!
He turned the kunai upside down in his hand, his body turned into a golden light again and flashed past, Yunyin Shangren took off a little slower than Minato.

Even a small mistake in a master's fight is enough to expand to the level of life and death.

Plop!Yunyin Shangren fell heavily from a height to the ground without moving, and blood continued to flow from his neck.

Minato breathed a sigh of relief, and leaped lightly from the top of the tree to Kushina.

Kushina is waiting for the trial of fate, but what is waiting is the hero who saves her.

Namikaze Minato carried Kushina across the tree peaks under the moon and flew between the tree peaks. The girl's gaze at the boy became soft and shy.

Looking at the two people in the picture, Naruto clasped his hands behind his head happily and let out a silly smile: "Hahaha! So dad and mom are together like this! It's so romantic!"

Suddenly, he looked at Quick Zhan curiously: "Speaking of which, where were you at that time, Uncle Quick Zhan?"

You kid, which pot can't be opened and which pot to lift... Quick Zhan sighed helplessly, and waved his hand.

The screen changed in vain, and came to the top of a towering tree not far from Minato and Kushina.

The young man in a black cloak and holding a katana was standing on a branch at the top of the tree, his black hair shaking in the night wind.He looked at the blond-haired boy and red-haired girl in the distance with a slightly melancholy gaze, blood dripping slowly from the tip of the hanging knife.

In the eyes is the Sharingan of Sangouyu, which is slowly turning.

At the foot of the towering tree below him, the corpses of three Yunyin ninjas collapsed on the ground, and blood was spreading from under them to the surroundings.It was the Jonin detachment of Yunyin Village that was used to cover the retreat of the kidnapping troops. Even with Quick Slash, it took a long time to kill them all, so there was a delay.

Watching the figure of the boy and girl disappear into the distance, Quick Zhan clenched a few long red hairs in his hand and jumped in the opposite direction.

The entire illusion space turned into pure white again.

"Uncle Quick Zhan...you also found your mother?" Naruto was stunned.

"Heh, I'm a step behind your father, this is an indisputable fact. Since then, Kushina has been inseparable from your father Namikaze Minato,"

Quick Zhan shook his finger, and the picture changed again, starting to show still pictures one by one in front of the two of them like a slideshow.

Minato and Kushina gradually grew up, Minato became the ninja who was in charge alone, and Kushina also successfully became the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki after adulthood.

From a few pictures, we can see that Kushina and Suzan are chatting very happily, and Suzan's expression at that time is surprisingly gentle.But anyone can see that in Kushina's eyes, Quick Zhan is a very trustworthy senior and close friend, but there is no love factor, and she has given all her love to Minato.And Quick Zhan himself knew this, and was willing to silently guard Kushina.

Looking at these warm scenes, the uneasiness and fear in Naruto's heart due to the coming of the war gradually disappeared, and he felt that his heart was gradually filled with love from his parents.

Gradually, Kushina's belly gradually grew bigger in the picture.

Naruto became nervous again, because he learned from Quick Zhan that it was the day he was born, when Nine Tails caused trouble in Konoha Village, and both Namikaze Minato and his wife died.

Looking at Kushina who was still laughing and cuddling with Minato in the picture, Naruto clenched his fists, his voice trembling: "Uncle Quick Zhan, the day I was born...what happened?"

Quick Zhan was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, you do have the right to know what happened that night."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the picture changed again.
