Forced to sell misery

"Stop it, do you want to be torn to pieces?!"

Yin Jiuwei was startled and stood up——

"If your soul dissipates, I, who am bound to your soul, will lose my bondage!

Minato, you are not such an irrational person!"

"It's rare to hear your praise, Kurama." Minato said with emotion.

"Who praised you?" Yin Jiuwei choked.

"I believe you won't..."

"Although you don't know much about Kurama, but...thank you for your company during the time I was in the body of the God of Death." Minato smiled embarrassedly.

"Even though it was just cursing and quarreling...

But if there was no Nine-Tails, a person would probably go crazy in the endless darkness, right?

I think I suddenly understand the purpose of "Shiki Fujin" to seal the caster and the enemy together into the belly of the god of death, so that their souls will be entangled endlessly...

So... let's reconcile, Kurama.

Although it is my unilateral wish. "

"You——" Yin Jiuwei widened his eyes.

"Also, Uchiha Jingye... although he is a troubled child, I believe that his nature is not bad. He just has too much on his shoulders..."

"Those fates, the future, and so on,"

Even his Sharingan can "look back to the past and see the future" -

They are all shackles.

It's too heavy for a 13-year-old child who can't even be called an adult to bear all these...

"Well, Kurama, I will entrust these two people who are very important to me to you."

"One is Naruto... the child who, since birth, has been carrying the expectations of Kushina and me, and the destiny of being the Jinchūriki to protect the village."

"One is Jing Ye, a child whom I was entrusted to accompany for a short period of time."

"What? Are you going to seal me in that Uchiha brat's body again?!"

"Well..." Minato scratched his blond hair awkwardly, "You can say that, but this is my solemn entrustment."

"I choose to believe them... I believe what Jing Ye said, that Naruto is the child of prophecy and will bring a bright future to this world—"

……

In reality, Minato's soul suddenly burst into dazzling light...

From the moment the palm of the hand touched the Susanoo monster, light gradually bloomed.

……

"Father!" Naruto opened his eyes, his consciousness was blurred for a moment, and he sat up.

But he found that there were many strange people surrounding him, and the way those people looked at him was... very strange.

Not the hatred and disgust he had felt before... but rather, complexity.

Yes, it is complicated.

Surprise... disbelief, and vaguely, guilt.

What happened?

Naruto was confused, but soon he remembered the dream-like experience... the giant fox named Kurama, their identical father... and brother Kagamiya who was devoured by the Nine-Tails' chakra!

At the same time, Naruto also saw the huge monster burning with black flames, and the figure of his father, Minato Namikaze, whom he had seen briefly.

Father...

Naruto panicked instantly, and jumped down from the sealed altar without hesitation, and ran over there -

"What are you going to do?" Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed him.

"Let me go!" Naruto struggled, "I want to go..."

Suddenly the sound was muted, Naruto looked at Sasuke who was pulling him, confused for a moment, "You are...ah!"

That Uchiha Sasuke!

"Why are you here... No, none of this matters, just let me go, I'm going to--"

"Where are you going? To the battlefield?" Sasuke suddenly interrupted Naruto and stared at him with an unprecedented solemn look. "Even if you can go there, what can you do when you get there?"

"I..." Naruto was stunned.

"Namikaze Minato?!"

At this moment, Naruto clearly heard a roar - this is... that big fox? !

Naruto closed his eyes and returned to that place, the space where the Nine-Tails was sealed.

Behind the sealed door, the Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly became furious - it suddenly felt that its other half, the yin half that was sealed along with the soul of the Fourth Hokage Minato, was sealed again!

"who is it?!"

If the Jinchūriki leaves the tailed beast, he will die, even if Minato is a soul body!

In the end, there is no escape... and the soul is scattered.

"What are you talking about? Who is that?" Naruto was still a little scared of the fox that was too big for him, but he still asked bravely.

"Has something happened to Brother Jingye again?"

Suddenly turning his gaze towards Naruto, the Nine-Tails strangely calmed down.

"No…it's your father, the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze."

"Wha, what?"

"In order to save that Uchiha brat, your father had to seal half of my chakra into that brat's body..." Nine-Tails said meaningfully.

"What does it mean?" Naruto didn't understand what this meant, but he felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Your father is truly a great man..." Kyuubi's voice slowly faded away.

"Hey, explain yourself, you bastard fox!"

"Go away," Kyuubi opened one eye and glanced at Naruto, "Don't cry, little brat!"

"what?"

Naruto opened his eyes and found himself back in reality. He raised his hand in a daze and touched his face, but found a hand full of tears.

"Hey, why..." Naruto wiped the tears from his face, but...more tears welled up in his eyes and he couldn't stop them...

Finally, Naruto stopped blankly, letting his tears flow - but he still didn't understand...

Strange...why am I crying?

……

"What kind of technique is that..." the Third Generation murmured.

In the dazzling blue light, the black flames slowly dissipated and finally disappeared, and along with it disappeared the huge Susanoo Titan.

Even the restless dark red Nine-Tails Chakra under the Susanoo armor melted in the dazzling blue light——

Minato's body became increasingly illusory, with only a gentle outline vaguely visible.

Looking at Jing Ye's scarred body gradually revealed, Minato smiled helplessly.

"You...are still a willful child, but you are unexpectedly kind..."

"It doesn't matter, you've worked hard."

“Maybe the road ahead will be difficult, but we still have to keep working hard.”

At this point, Minato paused.

"It is indeed agreed that I will accompany Jing Ye-jun on the road ahead, but, I'm sorry..."

……

Finally, he hugged Jing Ye, and starting from the moment his palm touched Jing Ye's forehead, Minato's figure melted in the dark blue flames.

Finally, the blue flames gradually dissipated in the wind.
