["Naruto~!"]
[In just a moment, a fiery red figure threw herself into Naruto's arms.]
[Naruto was stunned for a moment, but then he felt relieved.]
[Whether it was her status as a member of the Uzumaki Clan or as the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, both were enough for her to wake up quickly enough.]
[Of course, it was also possible that Naruto had put in extra effort.]
[Feeling Kushina's shoulders trembling slightly.]
[Naruto patted her back.]
["Mom, you're holding me a bit too tight."]
["Sorry, Mom is just too excited." Kushina quickly stepped back, her eyes full of tears.]
[However, looking at Naruto, Kushina couldn't help but well up with tears again and hugged him once more.]
["My child..."]
[Inside the Sealing Space, the Great Fox curled its lip but didn't say anything.]
[The Chakra spent on Kushina's body was quite significant.]
[If it were used to tempt that Little Uchiha, his eyes would probably turn red with envy.]
[A moment later, Kushina finally calmed down a bit.]
[She walked around Naruto a few times and finally couldn't help but let out a giggle.]
["Seriously, Naruto, looking at you like this, I would have thought you were at least sixteen or seventeen."]
[That's an understatement.]
[But then again, Naruto's face still retained some childishness.]
[Kushina kept nodding as she walked around him, seemingly very satisfied.]
[She patted Naruto's shoulders a few times, then finally pulled him down to sit and discussed some matters.]
[Naruto felt quite helpless.]
[If possible, he didn't really want to discuss the revival of the Uzumaki Clan with the woman in front of him.]
[Even Naruto was feeling a bit flushed from Kushina's words.]
[Kushina, on the other hand, looked like she had discovered something incredible, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.]
['This kid... he won't even let Big Sister Tsunade off the hook, I didn't expect...']
[Mother and son talked through the night.]
[They didn't notice... or perhaps they didn't care.]
[To the side, Minato Namikaze had also woken up shortly after Kushina.]
[However, he remained very quiet.]
[Staying quietly by the side of the mother and son.]
[His eyes were filled with complex emotions.]
[In the end, he chose not to speak, but to silently guard the two of them.]
[With a chance to do it all over again, he didn't want to lose anything else.]
[The night was deep, and this area wasn't considered a prosperous part of town.]
[Minato Namikaze couldn't help but look out the window.]
[It was very quiet here.]
[If things hadn't changed much, then this place could be considered a natural cage.]
[Everything seemed normal, but in reality, there was an Anbu Ninja's home every hundred meters or so around this location.]
[No matter what happened, it could be reported extremely quickly.]
[An invisible cage that 'imprisoned' the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki within.]
[Minato Namikaze's expression didn't change much, but his gaze grew colder whenever he looked toward the Hokage Building.]
["Fortunately... it's not too late for everything."]
[Minato Namikaze's hand resting on the windowsill unconsciously clenched into a fist.]
["The Land of Whirlpools?"]
["Has Izumi been found already?"]
["That's impressive. Well... let Mom go there first."]
[At that moment, the sound of Kushina and Naruto's conversation drifted over.]
[Minato Namikaze's brow twitched.]
[Then he released his sensory perception.]
[After releasing his perception, Minato Namikaze went silent.]
[Sensing the number of three-pronged kunai with Flying Thunder God Formulas around him.]
[Even he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.]
[So many!]
[Even after becoming the Fourth Hokage... at the peak of his wealth, he hadn't reached this number.]
[Or rather, he couldn't bear to spend so much.]
[Whoosh—]
[In the next instant, Minato Namikaze vanished from the spot.]
[But a moment later, he was back.]
[Only, he had a three-pronged kunai in his hand.]
[Naruto glanced at Minato Namikaze but didn't say anything.]
[But in his heart, he couldn't help but nod.]
['As expected of the Ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.']
['The yellow flash... he even refined it a bit, making it even faster.']
[He is a Hokage, after all; no matter what, he wouldn't be too bad.]
[After all, not everyone can be the 'strongest' Hokage.]
[Naruto silently estimated Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God speed just now, comparing it to his own Body Flicker Technique speed.]
[They were evenly matched.]
[However, there was one difference.]
[Naruto didn't rely purely on visual reactions; he also had powerful sensory abilities.]
[From Minato Namikaze's situation just now.]
[He relied purely on those two points.]
['His reaction speed is very fast.']
['The name "yellow flash" is well-deserved.']
['However, if I were to don the Great Fox's Golden Chakra Cloak, the title of "yellow flash" would have to change hands.']
[In KCM Mode, Naruto could achieve the same level as the Flying Thunder God.]
[If combined with the Body Flicker Technique, it would only be faster and stronger.]
Tobirama Senju: "Very good, quite impressive. As expected of Black-framed Naruto-kun."
Tobirama Senju: "This old man's Flying Thunder God is indeed no match for his current self."
Tobirama Senju: "But I imagine Black-framed Naruto-kun wouldn't pass up the chance to practice the Flying Thunder God."
Inside the Sealing Space, the Nine-Tails curled its lip in disdain.
If this world's Naruto could activate KCM Mode.
He wouldn't need to learn the Flying Thunder God at all.
Wouldn't it be better to just crush them with raw stats?
["I do remember the location, but so many years have passed... actually, the memories from back then have become a bit blurred."]
[Kushina bit her finger, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.]
["However, it's fine as long as we find it. Once Mom gets inside, I'll quickly remember a lot of things."]
["Yeah." Naruto nodded slightly.]
[Kushina added: "Finding the inheritance... will take quite some time."]
[After saying that, Kushina went silent again.]
[Naruto naturally knew what she was hesitating about.]
[He just smiled faintly and said: "Mom, don't be too impatient."]
[Kushina looked up at him.]
["The Old Thing is right here; he can't run away."]
["Besides, there's the Sarutobi Clan keeping him tied down."]
["And of course, he's tied down by power."]
["So, there's no need to rush. It's better to use this time to make all the necessary preparations."]
["When the time comes, while dealing them a fatal blow, we won't give the other Four Great Shinobi Villages time to react before starting the Fourth Shinobi World War."]
["Control everything... I hope that this Shinobi World War, started by me, won't affect too many innocent people."]
["This Ninja World... it really should be reshaped. It's a failed product."]
[They chatted for a while longer, and he learned quite a few secrets of the Ninja World.]
[The way Kushina looked at Naruto changed significantly.]
[In the end, she could only shake her head.]
["Mom doesn't understand these principles, nor do I really want to."]
["Anyway, whatever my son tells me to do, I'll do it."]
[After saying that, Kushina revealed a gentle smile.]
[Naruto paused and didn't say anything more.]
["The Reaper Death Seal can be undone."]
["My soul is inside the Shinigami's stomach."]
["And inside the Shinigami's stomach... there's also the other half of the Nine-Tails."]
["Back then, I only died after splitting the Nine-Tails in two and sealing it."]
