Kushina looked very conflicted. She looked into Minato's eyes. Just as she had said before, she would not question any decision made by Minato.
But this matter concerns Naruto's life.
As parents, they were making this decision for their child when he was still young and ignorant, which was a bit arbitrary.
"Naruto inherited your bloodline. With his physique, he will not be in any danger as a Jinchūriki."
Minato said that although Naruto did not have chakra yet, with his physique and Minato's sealing techniques, as a Jinchūriki, his life would not be in danger.
Secondly, what Kushina was most worried about was actually Naruto's growth process. Because of her special identity as a Jinchūriki, she could not leave the village and perform missions as a normal ninja without Minato's company.
"Also, after splitting the Nine-Tails' power in two, even after Naruto becomes a ninja, he will be able to go out of the village and perform missions like a normal ninja."
"You too."
As long as Minato can successfully divide the power of the Nine-Tails into two, Konoha will have two Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
Therefore, in the future, if Kushina and Naruto stagger the time of their missions, there won't be any problems.
Because he is the Hokage, he will never impose any restrictions on Naruto.
He can play, grow and perform tasks with his peers like a normal child.
"This is what I think. You are Naruto's mother, so if you don't agree with this, I won't do it."
"I am Naruto's father and the Hokage of Konoha Village. This responsibility and possibility should also be borne by me."
Minato didn't want to see Kushina struggling like that, and for her and Naruto, he would give his life without hesitation.
No matter what kind of enemies he will face in the future, he will never allow his wife to be harmed.
"It's getting late. I know this is a difficult decision, so I will wait for your answer."
Minato comforted Kushina and stretched out his hand to place it on her shoulder.
At this moment, Kushina suddenly reached out and placed her hand on the back of Minato's hand.
"Since you believe that in the future, Naruto, as a Jinchūriki, has the potential to change the world."
"So as a mother, I also believe in my son and husband."
"No matter what happens in the future, our family of three will always be together and face it together!"
Even though Kushina couldn't fully accept Minato's decision yet, she believed in this man who had traveled across time and space and sacrificed his life for her.
He is Naruto's father and would never harm his son.
"Yes!"
Minato turned his hand over and interlocked his fingers with Kushina's, staring into each other's eyes firmly.
"Thank you for agreeing to my selfish decision."
Kushina shook her head and said, "No, from the beginning, you have had to bear more than anyone else."
She was well aware of the inner struggle he had gone through in making this decision.
And what Minato has to endure will only be more than her.
With Kushina's approval, Minato finally put his biggest worry to rest.
So the only thing left now is to convey his ideas to the rest of the Konoha high-ranking officials.
The next day, early morning.
After saying goodbye to Kushina and Naruto early, Minato returned to the Hokage's office and immediately ordered his Anbu to find the Third Hokage and the two Konoha consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
Out of some precaution, he did not inform Danzo.
The Third Hokage and two advisors arrived in the Hokage's office.
"Yondaime, why did you suddenly summon the three of us here? What's the matter?"
Utatane Koharu asked. If the Hokage didn't have something important to discuss or announce, he wouldn't call them all over at the same time.
Facing these three seniors, Minato stood up and said, "These past few days, I have been thinking about that night when the masked man and others attacked Konoha."
"Since they took advantage of Kushina's childbirth, there is no guarantee that they will not come back again in the future."
When the three elders heard this, their eyes flickered slightly.
What Minato said was indeed a possibility.
Because Konoha had just experienced a major change recently. Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, defected from the village, and Jiraiya, as his pursuer, also left the village.
"Of course I will do my best to guard against it, but there are always unexpected things. After all, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light."
"If their plan succeeds and they get the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body, things will to bad."
Minato said that the Third Hokage had witnessed the masked man's eye power with his own eyes that night.
Those who knew the past history knew that this powerful eye power could even tame the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"So, in order to prevent what might happen in the future, I plan to split the Nine-Tails' power and create another Nine-Tails Jinchūriki."
"Creating another Nine-Tails Jinchūriki? What does that mean?"
Several senior officials were puzzled. As far as they knew, there was only one Nine-Tails in the world, so how could they create another Jinchūriki?
Minato immediately explained to them: "Through studying the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, I have a way to split the Nine-Tails' chakra in Kushina's body into two."
"Is it possible to do such a thing?"
The faces of several people changed. The Uzumaki clan's sealing technique was so profound that even the Third Hokage, who was known as the Professor of Ninjutsu, only had a superficial understanding of it.
Among the three, only the Third Hokage's expression changed slightly after hearing Minato's thoughts, as if he was pondering something.
"Even if it's half the power of the Nine-Tails, an ordinary ninja wouldn't be able to withstand it, right?"
The Third Hokage said that he had participated in the sealing ceremony of the Nine-Tails and knew how powerful that force was.
Only Kushina, who inherited the physique of the Uzumaki clan, can withstand the chakra of the Nine-Tails.
If you want to create another Jinchūriki, not only do you have to separate the Nine-Tails' power, you also have to find someone with a physique that can withstand the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Such a person is extremely difficult to find. Konoha had gone to great lengths to find Kushina.
Minato nodded. Even though his body had not been transformed by the Nine-Tails before, his chakra was definitely not low among ninjas.
But with his body, he could hardly withstand the heavy chakra of the Nine-Tails.
"So, the other half of the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki must be someone who inherits the Uzumaki clan's physique," Minato said.
"Where should we look for such a person?" Utatane Koharu frowned.
"No need to look for it. There is someone in the village right now who has inherited the Uzumaki bloodline."
"Hmm?"
When Minato finished speaking, both advisors were stunned.
As far as they know, in Konoha now, apart from Kushina, are there any other members of the Uzumaki clan?
At this time, the Third Hokage standing beside them changed his expression, and looked at Minato with trembling eyes, saying:
"Fourth Hokage, do you want to seal the other half of the Nine-Tails into your newborn child!?"
