The Nine-Tails was resealed.
Naruto naturally became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki without any complications.
But everything took a sharp turn from there.
Minato Namikaze never sealed the remaining Yin chakra of the Nine-Tails—and never became a jinchuriki.
Uzumaki Miyuki once again became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Unless something unexpected happened, Naruto's entire future course of life would be completely altered.
After all, Naruto was no longer an orphan—his parents were still alive.
Chinya released the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier.
Immediately after, Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed over and saw Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Miyuki unconscious, while baby Naruto cried loudly.
Sarutobi asked urgently, "Chinya, what exactly is going on? Has the Nine-Tails been resealed into Miyuki?"
Chinya glanced at the unconscious Minato Namikaze before answering, "The Fourth was truly remarkable—despite nearly exhausting all his chakra, he managed to seal the Nine-Tails into both the weakened Miyuki and newborn Naruto. Now Konoha has two jinchuriki."
Hiruzen didn't care who became the jinchuriki—he only cared whether or not the Nine-Tails had been sealed.
Everyone here belonged to Konoha. It didn't matter who carried the beast.
Yet something felt off to Sarutobi. Chinya's tone sounded oddly sarcastic.
Sarutobi ordered the ninja behind him, "Quickly send the Fourth, Miyuki, and Naruto to the temporary medical facility for examination and treatment! Then gather everyone to clean up the mess and start rescue operations!"
Chinya glanced toward his left. The battle involving his Shadow Clone had already ended.
Once the clone vanished, its memories surged back into Chinya's original body.
Chinya had expected more from Kisame Hoshigaki and Kakuzu—but they turned out to be weaker than anticipated.
Although that Shadow Clone possessed half his chakra, it was nowhere near the power of his real body. Even so, it took them quite some time to finish it off. Even with Obito Uchiha's help, they barely managed to take down the clone—it was far weaker than expected.
It seemed that Akatsuki Organization members weren't anywhere near their prime strength right now.
...
After leaving, Obito Uchiha located Kakuzu and Kisame Hoshigaki.
He discovered that Kisame and Kakuzu hadn't even managed to defeat Chinya's Shadow Clone despite battling it for a long time.
Obito originally wanted to show off his abilities in front of Kisame and Kakuzu—to prove his worth.
Suddenly disappearing from his spot, Obito used Kamui to unexpectedly appear behind Chinya's clone for a surprise attack.
However, the very moment Obito emerged behind Chinya's clone using Kamui, the clone locked onto him using Kenbunshoku Haki.
With a powerful spinning kick, Chinya's clone sent Obito flying straight into the water before he could activate his intangibility ability.
In the end, all three had to cooperate together—Kisame Hoshigaki fused with Samehada for the first time, transforming into a merman-like form—and only then were they able to destroy Chinya's Shadow Clone.
This battle left an even deeper mark on Obito regarding Chinya's terrifying strength.
If just one of his clones was this difficult to handle, how formidable must Chinya's true self be?
Obito now felt an ever-growing sense of caution toward Chinya.
With the Nine-Tails' Rampage over, Chinya made his way directly to Orochimaru's base.
Kakashi immediately asked when he saw Chinya return, "Sensei, how's everything outside?"
Chinya replied, "It's already been handled. Kakashi, you should go help with the rescue efforts too. Don't give others anything to gossip about."
Kakashi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll head out right away."
Then Chinya entered the room and found Kushina Uzumaki.
Kushina Uzumaki looked visibly anxious as she asked Chinya what had happened outside and if Uzumaki Miyuki was safe.
"Don't worry, Miyuki is fine."
Chinya briefly explained the situation outside to Kushina.
When she heard that Miyuki was safe, Kushina visibly relaxed. "You scared me! I never thought anyone would actually attack Miyuki—and even release the Nine-Tails! Fortunately, everything turned out okay. Thank goodness."
Chinya said to Kushina, "Then please rest here peacefully. I'll go outside and help them clean up."
Now completely relaxed, Kushina smiled and said, "Mmhm, go ahead."
After leaving Orochimaru's base, Chinya heard the System's prompt:
[Host witnessed the Nine-Tails' Rampage event, rewarded 20,000 Witness Points. Host changed the destined course of Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Miyuki's fates, earning an additional 50,000 Witness Points. Changed the life trajectory of important character Naruto Uzumaki, earning another 50,000 Witness Points.
This is one of the most significant events in the history of the Shinobi World. Host successfully completed this event, participated in it, and altered its course to some extent, triggering an additional three reward options—choose one.]
Chinya's eyes widened.
After so many years, a three-way reward choice had finally appeared again.
Back then, when he first activated the System, there was also a three-way option which allowed Chinya to obtain the Full Sword Forms of Thunder Breathing.
You could say that the Full Sword Forms of Thunder Breathing were what got Chinya to where he is today.
However, the three options could be either good or bad.
It still depended on fate.
[Additionally, considering the imminent birth of the host's child, one of the rewards will be replaced.
Replacement Reward One: Inheritance Power. The child who inherits the host's bloodline has a chance to inherit all current and future talent abilities possessed by the host.
Reward Two: Select two Dojutsu techniques from those possessed by currently known Mangekyo Sharingan users.
Reward Three: Awaken Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.]
Chinya pressed his lips into a line.
Adding two Dojutsu techniques really sounded tempting; meaning if he chose this reward, Chinya could obtain Obito Uchiha's Kamui, or perhaps Itachi Uchiha's strongest mental attack genjutsu, Tsukuyomi.
But... compared to the Inheritance Power, those other choices were clearly inferior!
With this Inheritance Power, the future Uzumaki Sōnagi could grow as strong as him, or even surpass him.
"I choose Reward One!"
[Reward selection complete. When the host's child is born, the Inheritance Power will take effect on the host's child.]
Chinya exhaled deeply. This Nine-Tails' Rampage incident, the biggest gain was this Inheritance Power.
Moreover, the Witness Point reward was massive.
Originally, Chinya had 86,000 Witness Points, but now with these additional 120,000 points, he now had a total of 206,000 Witness Points.
With only 44,000 Witness Points short of the 250,000 required to exchange for the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan,
Chinya suddenly felt a chill run down his spine—something wasn't right.
Why was the System still referring to Naruto as "Naruto Uzumaki"? Now that Minato Namikaze was alive, shouldn't it be "Namikaze Naruto"?
...
Seven days had passed since the Nine-Tails' Rampage.
During this time, Chinya hadn't seen Minato Namikaze, Uzumaki Miyuki, or Naruto.
Today, he received an Anbu summons ordering him to go to the Hokage Tower.
Upon arriving at the office inside the Hokage Tower, Chinya saw all the major clan heads of Konoha gathered there, together with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.
But notably missing were Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha.
