"Buzz."
A few days later, without being noticed by ordinary ninjas, a huge barrier was completely completed, with extremely amazing chakra fluctuations spreading out, protecting the entire Konoha inside.
In the Hokage's office, Minato sensed something, turned around and stood up, his blue eyes slightly stern.
Although Konoha's barrier had a defensive function in the past, it was not very strong. Its main purpose was to sense enemies who invaded the village without permission.
After all, the barrier was built during the First Hokage's time. Who would be so blind as to invade Konoha at that time?
However, this time the masked man and others attacked Konoha, and the means they used almost destroyed the entire village could not be ignored.
This barrier was built by Kushina with great effort. Although it did not enhance the sensor much compared to the previous barrier, its solidity was far superior.
Moreover, if Konoha were to encounter the situation of that night again, as long as a large amount of chakra was injected into this barrier, the level that could be achieved would be comparable to the barrier cast by Minato that night.
The chakra fluctuations that permeated the entire Konoha gradually converged and disappeared after a few seconds.
"Knock Knock!"
After a while, there was a knock on the office door.
Kushina pushed the door open and said to Minato with a little pride: "Minato, I have completed the task you assigned to me."
In fact, she knew that even if she didn't report it deliberately, Minato would definitely notice it.
Minato nodded, chuckled, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Kushina smiled and said, "It's not hard to do my part for the village. From now on, leave this kind of work to me."
"That won't do."
Minato shook his head and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't our Naruto be very lonely?"
As the Hokage, he was destined not to accompany Naruto like ordinary parents.
"Well, I'll go to Mikoto's house now to pick Naruto up," Kushina nodded and said.
At this time, Minato did not respond to her.
She raised her eyes, and at this moment there was something strange in his expression.
"Minato, what's wrong?"
Kushina tilted her head slightly, wondering.
"Nothing," Minato finally responded.
"Then I won't disturb you from working. Remember to go home early for dinner."
Kushina didn't think much about it, and she didn't want to delay the Hokage's work, so after saying something, she turned and walked out of the Hokage's office.
Looking at her leaving back, the look from before reappeared in Minato's eyes.
Because tonight, he was going to confess everything to Kushina.
Even he wasn't quite sure how to express this.
As a listener, he would naturally find rebirth a horrifying thing if he had not experienced it himself.
In the evening, after Minato finished his work for the day, he returned home.
Kushina made a lot of delicious dishes, and it had been a while since they had a good meal together as a family of three.
But Minato still had something on his mind, and even though he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't hide it from Kushina's eyes.
But Kushina never said it directly.
At nine o'clock, it was time to go to bed, and Kushina and Minato coaxed Naruto to sleep together.
Looking at the sleeping face of the child in front of him, the fluctuation in Minato's eyes became even more intense.
Kushina glanced sideways at Minato at this time.
Looking at her, he pursed his lips.
"Kushina, I—"
But before he could say anything, Kushina put her finger in front of her mouth and whispered, "Shh!"
She grabbed Minato's hand and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Kushina turned around, raised her eyes, looked at Minato and said, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Her sudden question made Minato stunned for a moment.
Minato took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
"I don't know what's wrong with you, but there's nothing between us that can't be shared, right?"
Kushina smiled. She could clearly sense Minato's nervousness at the moment.
In her impression, Minato rarely showed such emotions.
Minato's eyes flickered slightly. In this world, there really was no one who understood him better than Kushina.
He now stared into Kushina's eyes and said, "Of course, but before I tell you the truth, I assure you that what I'm going to say next is definitely not a joke."
"The truth?"
Feeling the seriousness in Minato's tone, Kushina's expression changed slightly.
"In fact, there is another soul in my body, and it comes from another time and space."
"What do you mean?"
Kushina was stunned when she heard this. After all, the situation with Minato was indeed very complicated, and it was difficult to understand with just this one sentence.
"The other me died because of casting the Shiki Fūjin. For some reason, it merged into my body seventeen years ago, the day before we first met at the Ninja Academy," Minato continued.
"Shiki Fūjin? Minato, are you sure you're not kidding?"
Although Kushina still couldn't digest Minato's words, she knew very well that the Shiki Fūjin was a forbidden technique of the Uzumaki clan.
Minato wasn't surprised at all by Kushina's reaction.
These things are difficult for anyone to accept simply by using language.
In front of Kushina, Minato suddenly formed seals with his hands.
"Buzz!"
The hand seal was completed in an instant. Minato leaned down and pressed his palms on the ground. From his palms, the patterns of the barrier spread out, and then in an instant it turned into a barrier, covering the entire Namikaze family home.
Kushina was stunned. She could tell at a glance that Minato had cast a barrier to block sound and chakra perception.
"What I said may sound a little ridiculous to you now, but it doesn't matter."
As Minato finished his words, extremely astonishing chakra fluctuations were released from his body.
Kushina was still confused, but in a short moment, her expression changed dramatically.
She was already wondering where Minato's chakra, which was even stronger than hers, came from. After all, she inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan.
At this moment, in her sensor, Minato's already amazing chakra instantly broke through the limit and became even stronger.
This was not the most surprising thing for her, because in Minato's originally azure blue eyes, there was a faint scarlet color flowing out.
"How is this possible?"
Within the seal within Kushina's body, the Nine-Tailed Fox, which had originally closed its eyes, suddenly opened its eerie vertical pupils, and a look of deep horror emerged in those eyes.
Kushina made the same exclamation as the Nine-Tails, because at this moment, in addition to Minato's own chakra aura, there appeared another aura in his body that she was extremely familiar with, but which would never appear on anyone else.
The breath of the Nine-Tails' chakra!
