Kyuubi's mouth was tightly closed, and the strong binding force pressed on its body as big as a small mountain, making it unable to exert any strength from its entire body.

Even the chakra that spilled out with dark will was withdrawn into the sealed cage.

Kyuubi bared his teeth in pain and stared at the figure in front of him.

He is also one of the people he hates most in his life!

"Eh?"

Naruto seemed to be waking up from a dream. Seeing that he was so close to the Kyuubi's cage, he stretched out his palm on the talisman and uncovered a corner. Suddenly, cold sweat formed on his forehead from fear.

There was only one last step left, and he was about to release this demon fox.

Naruto knew that if things really came to that point, he would definitely become the shape of Kyuubi from the inside out and become a puppet controlled by him.

That's definitely not what I want to be.

Fortunately, someone stopped me.

"Well, thank you very much. If you hadn't stopped me just now..."

Naruto turned his head and expressed his gratitude to the person who prevented him from opening the seal.

However, after seeing the appearance and figure of the person next to him clearly, he was stunned again, his throat rolled, and he couldn't continue speaking in the middle of the sentence.

"You...you are..."

Wearing the robe of the Hokage.

Inside was the Jounin uniform of Konoha. A young man with yellow hair who was too young stood in front of him majestically, smiling gently at him.

From the other person's hair and eyebrows, you can vaguely see a bit of yourself.

The identity of the other party is also revealed - the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato is also his biological father!

"First meeting... no, it should be said that we haven't seen each other for a long time, Naruto. The last time I met you was when you were just born."

Minato gestured at the shape and size, and smiled at Naruto with a touch of sadness.

Naruto stood there blankly, unable to say a word.

"Naruto, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a punch of wind had already struck him.

He hit Minato's stomach hard, making Minato's stomach feel like he was boiling with bitter water. His face was slightly distorted by the pain caused by the fist, and he coughed violently.

"You bastard! Why would you put this kind of thing into my body? Do you know what good things you have done to your son?"

With the thought of beating the man in front of him to death, Naruto punched Minato hard in the stomach again, finally venting some of his anger.

But this is not enough.

Thanks to the man in front of me, I have been looked down upon by countless people over the years.

This kind of discrimination and prejudice was only slightly relieved until his identity as the son of the Hokage was exposed.

But even so, all the injustices he suffered in the past still weighed heavily on his throat.

However, the person who caused all this to happen is already dead, and he is still his father.

No matter how much resentment you have, there is nowhere to vent it.

Now that he saw the other party again, no matter what the other party planned to defend, Naruto just wanted to punch the other party twice to vent his inner anger.

Allowing Naruto to beat his father and son with his fists, Minato just endured it silently. Looking at the expression of venting anger, there were faint tears, and guilt and sighs also came to his heart.

"Sorry... Speaking of which, how old are you this year, Naruto?"

"……fourteen……"

Naruto stopped the beating, but the resentment and grievance on his face had not yet been completely vented.

"Are you fourteen? It's really a blink of an eye. But for you, these years have been like years. I know that even if I apologize to you as a father, I can't make up for the pain you have suffered in your heart.

These traumas.”

Minato sighed.

Naruto held back his tears and did not cry loudly.

After all, he is no longer a child, and he doesn't want others to see his weak side.

"I didn't think carefully enough at the beginning. If I could have added some political chips in the position of Hokage, the Sandaime would not have compromised Danzo on this matter and made such fuss about you."

In the final analysis, he, the Fourth Hokage, is as dead as a lamp going out. No matter how talented he is, a dead person is still a dead person.

And a dead Hokage, no matter what, can't compare to a living root leader in terms of influence.

That's why Naruto was used by all parties and no one dared to interfere.

"What's the meaning?"

Naruto wiped the tears on his face and asked in confusion.

"Because the identity of the jinchuriki is a top priority, only a very small number of people, including the village's senior officials, should be aware of the jinchuriki's existence. In the end, everyone knew about it, just because you were forced to get involved with the village's senior officials.

The political struggle between the two countries. After all, I never imagined that in order to fight for power and profit, they would use even a newborn baby to the end."

Minato's eyes were a little sad.

He was once full of enthusiasm for the village of Konoha.

But within a year of becoming Hokage, he truly realized how harsh the darkness inside this village was.

The Third Generation's connivance, Danzo's dark forces, the inaction of his advisors, and the blind struggle of the Uchiha radical forces... had left Konoha riddled with holes at that time.

Even so, he still has good expectations and plans to put everything in this village back on track.

It's a pity that God did not fulfill people's wishes.

With his death, everything returned to its original track.

Because of the loss of his existence, Konoha not only has internal troubles, but also very serious external troubles.

The exposure of Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is only an insignificant part of the political evidence.

In the invisible darkness, Konoha's own people are also creating all kinds of troubles and troubles, further consuming the village's potential.

Naruto lowered his head slightly after hearing these words.

With this period of experience, he was able to understand more or less the meaning of Minato's words.

Then, he raised his head again, looked at Minato and asked: "Then, dad, why do you want to seal the Nine-Tails in my body again?"

Listening to Naruto calling him 'Dad', the smile on Minato's face became softer and guiltier, and he said to Naruto: "The situation at that time was a bit complicated, there were some considerations on my part, and there were also reasons from your mother's side..."

"What's the meaning?"

"Originally, your mother planned to die together with Kyuubi... But in that case, the village would inevitably lose the power of Kyuubi, which would be detrimental to the external environment of the village. In addition, I have a deep relationship with your mother, and I don't want her to be alone.

People are going to die, and for various complicated reasons, they decided to use the forbidden technique of 'Sealing the Ghost', sacrificing themselves, and split the Nine Tails into two and sealed it. But then, another problem arises."

"Problem? What is the problem?"

"The training of jinchuriki takes a lot of time and energy, and how to get along with tailed beasts is also an important lesson. Your mother was personally guided by Mito-sama back then, so it was no big deal. But after your mother and I both sacrificed

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for you to tame the tailed beast by yourself."

"Indeed... this fox's power is difficult to control."

Naruto nodded heavily.

Having had many interactions with the Kyuubi, Naruto knew how difficult it was to control the Kyuubi's power.

While gaining great power, it also meant that Nine-Tails in turn controlled him as the 'master' and became the leader.

"Yes, but don't worry now. The reason why I chose to seal off the corpses at that time was actually because I considered this situation. That's why I continued to survive in your body in this state so that I could protect you.

You get through the weak stage, and secondly, when you control the power of the Nine-Tails, I wish you a helping hand and successfully control the power of the Nine-Tails."

Minato said with a smile.

"This state? Speaking of which, Dad, your state is..."

Naruto looked at Minato carefully, showing doubts.

"Spirit... can also be said to be the state of the soul."

"Then this is..."

Naruto noticed something and walked behind Minato.

From the endless darkness, a pitch-black chain appeared, connecting to Minato's back.

On the chain, which is as black as a python, is wrapped a large number of talismans with black spells.

But when Naruto went to touch it, his palm passed through the chain and talisman, which shocked his face.

"This... is the chain connected to the God of Death. Only those who have signed a contract with the God of Death can touch it..."

As Minato was speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and his body turned into a golden light, disappearing in the midst of Naruto's stunned expression.
