Minato's son was still named Naruto. However, unlike the original Naruto, he didn't have the whisker-like marks on his face.
Perhaps it was because neither of his parents was a Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, so Naruto didn't inherit that trait.
As for why he was named Naruto—
Minato, who had already thought of a name long ago, couldn't withstand Jiraiya's relentless begging. After being pestered for over ten days, Minato finally surrendered.
In the end, under his wife's unwilling and frustrated mood, he accepted the name Naruto.
Every time she called their son's name, she couldn't help but feel that it sounded like a Narutomaki...
Luckily, Naruto's surname was still Namikaze. If it had been Uzumaki, then as a father, Minato might have felt even less of a presence.
Speaking of Naruto, Minato's face showed a gentle smile. It was obvious that he was thinking of his son and his wife, who had given birth to a big, healthy baby boy for him.
"You really are a full-fledged dad now. Every conversation you have is about your kid."
"..."
As soon as those words were spoken, Minato and Nawaki narrowed their eyes slightly.
The atmosphere suddenly felt a little… off.
"What are you two looking at me for?"
Takuya picked up his cup of sake, confused.
I was just making a joke, what, I can't even joke around anymore?
You're the one making jokes about us?
Minato and Nawaki exchanged glances. In that moment, they reached a silent agreement.
Minato chuckled.
"What a pity, though. The Yagami Clan is down to a single descendant, and that single descendant refuses to have children. At this rate, the name Yagami will completely disappear from the ninja world in the future."
"Yeah, exactly."
Nawaki added with a sarcastic tone,
"I heard from my sister, my grandfather, and my great-grandfather that the Yagami Clan used to be a great clan during the Warring States Period. And now? Sigh~~~"
Takuya: "..."
Why don't you just read out my whole family registry while you're at it?
To be honest, it was a little embarrassing.
Among Konoha's renowned three geniuses, both Minato and Nawaki had already stepped into the ranks of fatherhood.
Especially Nawaki, who, due to his responsibilities and slightly older age, was already a father of five.
Even Minato had a son.
But Takuya?
Nothing.
There had been absolutely no progress on his end.
This had even led Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto, Pakura, and others to start suspecting that something was wrong with him.
If it were just one woman without any news, they might be able to make an excuse.
But when none of them had any progress, something was clearly off.
Because of this, Takuya had been interrogated multiple times by those women.
"I don't like kids."
Takuya downed his sake in one gulp, trying to defend himself.
In reality, he was perfectly normal. Kushina, Mikoto, and the others were also perfectly normal. Tsunade had even personally checked them to confirm.
But some things weren't within his control.
Yeah, right.
If Minato hadn't personally witnessed Takuya being interrogated by those women, he might have actually believed him.
Minato rolled his eyes but wisely chose not to say anything.
He still remembered—once, because of an urgent matter, he had directly teleported to Takuya using Flying Thunder God.
And then—
He was beaten up by Takuya for half a month.
The hell?! Just because your wives are scolding you, what does that have to do with me?!
Takuya, you're the one who said if I ever had an emergency, I could teleport straight to you! And yet, you still beat me up!
"So basically, you're just a weirdo."
Nawaki, at least, knew a little about the situation.
After all, Takuya was his brother-in-law, and his sister wasn't getting any younger. If she waited too long, it wouldn't be good for childbirth.
But Tsunade's explanation had left Nawaki completely speechless.
"Takuya is in perfect health. We're perfectly normal too. The problem is… Takuya is too healthy."
Because of his constant sharing of Snowy's power, Takuya's body had been strengthened beyond human limits.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that, without using any jutsu or chakra, he could punch the so-called Strongest Shield—the Third Raikage—and make him cry out in pain.
Apparently, having a body that was too powerful wasn't a good thing.
Takuya had run right into that problem.
In mythology, the stronger the individual, the harder it was for them to produce offspring.
Never in his life did Takuya expect to encounter such an issue.
What was even more bizarre was that as everyone else aged naturally, he was the only one whose appearance remained unchanged—still looking as if he had just reached adulthood.
This even made Tsunade suspect—
Takuya, did you secretly practice the same forbidden technique as me?
How to solve this?
No one knew.
Even Tsunade had no clue.
Even Orochimaru, the so-called "mad scientist," was completely puzzled.
Originally, Orochimaru had lost interest in the pursuit of immortality.
But after encountering Takuya's case, his obsession was rekindled.
He was now convinced that Takuya was the key to achieving true immortality.
Tsunade couldn't even be bothered to stop Orochimaru.
As long as he wasn't kidnapping people for human experiments, she let him do whatever he wanted.
If he could somehow help solve Takuya's problem in the process, then great.
But this issue had made some of the women restless.
Especially Kushina, Pakura, and Mikoto—every time they saw other people's children, they felt incredibly envious.
"Don't even bring it up. I'm even more frustrated than they are."
Takuya could only laugh bitterly.
This kind of problem was embarrassing no matter how you looked at it.
Even though he was perfectly normal, there were still rumors spreading—
People were saying that he was the problem, that he "wasn't capable," which was why he still didn't have any children.
Bullshit! You're the ones who can't, your whole family can't!
I'm perfectly normal!!!
But seriously… how the hell did Kaguya Ōtsutsuki manage to have children?
Logically speaking, with that level of genetic strength, it should have been nearly impossible for her to reproduce.
And yet, she had twins.
That was ridiculous.
Compared to her, he was still human.
Kaguya was literally an alien with horns on her head.
And yet, she had no trouble at all.
Even Hagoromo and Hamura, the Six Paths brothers, had children with no issues.
But he was stuck with this problem?
Takuya was starting to suspect that all of this was Snowy's fault.
Good thing he wasn't Orochimaru, or else he would have strapped Snowy to an operating table for research.
"Forget it. Let's just drink."
Minato, understanding the situation, stopped pressing the issue.
The three of them continued drinking, grilling meat, and chatting about past events.
As always, Nawaki ended up being the target of most jokes.
Especially that one time he got blackout drunk, and Takuya tied him to a tree, where he screamed so loudly that he attracted ANBU.
Every time that story came up, Nawaki wanted to bury himself alive.
That was beyond humiliating.
