"Hello, you two."
Looking at the floating Chakra, Takemi revealed a slight smile.
He stood on the Wood Golem's hand, slowly descending to the ground with its support.
At the same time, his Chakra gently vibrated again, and Naruto, still dazed, appeared by his side.
"Huh, this is…"
Naruto looked left and right, and was instantly startled.
He had been to this place before. He knew that the Nine-Tails was imprisoned here.
It's just…
"You broke the cage? And you knocked out that fox?"
Naruto stared dumbfounded at the Nine-Tails, which was bound by the Wood Dragon, its head pressed by the Wood Golem, and completely unconscious, speaking in disbelief.
"It's over, you broke this thing, so I'm not…"
"What are you afraid of? It's just a seal, it's not like it can't be repaired."
Takemi said indifferently, his gaze still fixed on the two masses of Chakra.
"Besides, I said you're treating tonight, and you definitely have to treat, after all…"
Slowly, the two masses of Chakra transformed into two human figures.
A blonde man and a red-haired woman quietly appeared before them.
The moment he saw these two, Naruto was stunned. He seemed unable to believe that there were people hidden inside his body.
In addition, the moment these two appeared, he inexplicably felt an urge to cry.
That feeling made him extremely uncomfortable and filled his heart with an indescribable anxiety.
"They… why do they look so familiar?"
After a long while, Naruto finally smiled unnaturally at Takemi, who responded with a punch to his forehead.
"Idiot, you pass by the Hokage Rock every day, and you still haven't memorized the Fourth Hokage's appearance?"
"The Fourth Hokage, why is he here? Is it because of that fox?"
"Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid?"
"I…"
Naruto hesitated, unable to speak as he looked at the two people. But his eyes were already slightly red.
"Lord Fourth Hokage, Jonin Kushina, hello."
Takemi rubbed Naruto's golden hair, then took a step forward.
"Hello…"
Minato and Kushina seemed to still be in a daze. They were also a little bewildered at this moment.
Their appearance was entirely due to the seal being broken and the Nine-Tails' Chakra erupting.
They had thought something bad had happened, but everything before them surprised them.
Especially now that they saw Naruto, that special emotion could no longer be hidden.
"What exactly is going on?"
After a long while, before Minato could even speak, Kushina could no longer hold back.
"Also, who are you?"
"I am a Konoha Jonin, and also one of Naruto's Jonin instructors, and of course, one of his friends." Takemi smiled and spoke calmly.
"Congratulations, Naruto has become a Ninja, and I'm here to conduct a routine home visit."
"Nice to meet you, please take care of me…"
"…"
"Home visit?"
Hearing Takemi's words, Minato and Kushina were both stunned.
Is there such a form of home visit?
They exchanged glances, then said.
"Minato..."
"Kushina..."
As soon as they spoke, they both laughed.
One could only say they were truly a couple. And they were indeed filled with reluctance and love for Naruto.
Perhaps, this could also be a different way to accompany Naruto's growth?
"It is indeed a home visit, but of course, it's only for some necessary matters."
Takemi nodded, pulling the silently hiding Naruto from behind him, and then spoke, "That fox's Chakra erupted before, and coincidentally, I sensed two special Chakras within it, so I told the Pervy Sage."
"Pervy Sage? Don't tell me..."
Minato was still a bit dazed hearing that name, while Kushina immediately targeted the empty air.
"Jiraiya-sensei, it must be him!"
"That's right, it's him."
Takemi nodded, then continued with a smile, "He didn't tell me what those two Chakras were, but I could guess with a little thought, so..."
These words left Minato and Kushina somewhat silent. They seemed to have never expected to be discovered by this child in front of them.
And what they even less expected was that this child, who looked only a few years older than the current Naruto, had actually released them.
"And this child is not simple either."
They didn't forget the powerful Wood Release, and the Nine-Tails' current miserable state.
All of this seemed to indicate that the current Konoha was thriving.
However, they quickly turned their gaze to Naruto. Although they had always been inside Naruto's body, they had been in a deep sleep to ensure Chakra stability. So, they weren't quite sure how Naruto was doing now.
"Alright, I think now is the time for you."
Takemi also noticed their gazes, so he said with a smile, "After all, you've been asleep for so many years, and you've missed too much of each other."
As he spoke, Takemi pushed Naruto forward, while he himself walked to the back to consider subsequent operations.
And the three of them—Naruto, Minato, and Kushina—looked at each other for a while, but it was Minato who finally walked over first.
"Long time no see, Naruto. I can't believe you've grown so big, and you even have your own Jonin instructor and friends."
"Mm."
Naruto nodded unnaturally. He didn't know what to say now.
This world was so strange.
Naruto remembered that he had merely sighed about how good Ino's father was, and how he had never experienced having parents.
That utterly terrible guy, his best friend, had even joked that the three of them together couldn't make up a family.
He hadn't expected...
Actually, Naruto himself didn't know how he felt right now. He didn't even know how to speak.
"Why me? Why is the Nine-Tails inside my body?"
After a long while, Naruto finally managed to blurt out a sentence, a question he had waited for more than ten years to ask.
"And what exactly happened back then? What happened to you two?"
"Naruto..."
Kushina's eyes were a little red, while Minato sighed.
"A lot happened back then. I'm truly sorry, Naruto."
Minato and Kushina recounted the events of that year, which was not only an expression of their longing for Naruto but also an explanation to him.
Takemi watched this scene with mixed emotions, but he already knew all these things. Besides, he had more important matters to attend to.
"It should be possible to use the Nine-Tails' power to ensure the continuous stability of their Chakras, right?"
Rubbing his chin, Takemi glanced at the peacefully sleeping Nine-Tails and muttered to himself.
He had always known that Jiraiya didn't dare to act not because he couldn't awaken these two.
Rather, the key was how to preserve them after awakening them.
He had actually envisioned from the start using the Nine-Tails' Chakra to stabilize these two Chakras.
This was also why he shattered the seal, and of course, it was also related to his confidence in being able to repair the seal.
"Minato sealed half of the Nine-Tails inside him, so his Chakra should be able to withstand it. Kushina is a Jinchuriki, so it should be even easier. So..."
After carefully sensing the residual Chakras of the two, Takemi decided he could act.
