Chapter 277 A Family Reunites
The setting sun shone behind the couple, lengthening their shadows, and the warm red extended forward with the quiet black, just like the silent love, rushing forward like a tide.
Naruto was stunned for a moment. Since he could remember, he had never been looked at by such eyes, let alone seen such a beautiful woman radiating the maternal radiance.
He did not know the woman, but he recognized the man who was a step slower behind the woman. He had seen this face thousands of times on the Hokage Rock, and after learning about his life experience, he often imagined what he really looked like.
The sudden sense of happiness enveloped Naruto. Facing the red light of the setting sun, his pupils were also stained with warmth, and warm tears flowed.
Naruto opened his mouth tremblingly, but failed to shout out. Before he could say anything, he was hugged by the red-haired woman.
"Naruto, Naruto, it's my little Naruto..."
The woman's voice was excited and trembling. She didn't care about the occasion at all and hugged Naruto tightly.
Sasuke, who was just in the sparring state, was also a little confused when he saw this scene. Kimimaro and others who were practicing in other areas of the martial arts field also cast their eyes here curiously.
Namikaze Minato came to his wife and son, slowly squatted down, put his hands on his wife and son's shoulders, with a warm and sunny smile on his face. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, just listened to Kushina's constant whispering.
Naruto's little chin rested on Kushina's shoulder, feeling the warm big hand of the blond man, tears kept flowing from his eyes.
He looked at Lu Li who was walking towards him, "Brother Lu..."
"Naruto, these are your parents."
Lu Li helped Naruto confirm his guess, "Don't blame me for blaspheming them. I asked your teacher to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to find them from the underworld. I thought you might want to see them."
Minato looked up at Lu Li, "As far as this matter is concerned, I really have to thank the second generation for developing the forbidden technique..."
He helped Kushina stand up, "Don't hold Naruto all the time. He is an excellent ninja now. His friends are all looking at him."
But Kushina didn't care about that. When she stood up, she picked up Naruto directly. Naruto was not even six years old now. He was very small, so it didn't seem very out of place for him to be held by his mother.
"Hmph, what do you care? I want to hold back all the people I haven't held in these years!"
Kushina glared at Minato unhappily. Minato didn't dare to speak in anger. His family status was evident.
"Mom... are you my mom?"
Naruto was very excited, but also very embarrassed, because he felt that being hugged by his mother in front of Sasuke and others was like being publicly executed.
"Yes, Naruto, I am your mom..."
Uzumaki Kushina said, feeling confused. She thought it was wrong. There were many photos of her and Minato in their home, as well as commemorative albums taken during her pregnancy.
Even if she and Minato had not had time to take a family photo of the three of them, with so many photos at home, how could Naruto not recognize himself and Minato?
You have to know that they are dead people. When they were summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation, they kept their appearance before death, and they would not change because of time.
Lu Li also observed the confused look of the Fourth Generation and said, "Naruto only found out who his parents were a few days ago. You can ask Naruto for the specific situation yourself."
It was not Minato's turn to speak, and Kushina asked Naruto with a serious expression. In Naruto's innocent answer, Kushina's expression became more and more gloomy.
She turned to look at her embarrassed husband, "Is this the Konoha we fought so hard to protect? What on earth is that old man Sandai doing!?"
"Kushina, don't get excited... maybe there's something going on..."
Minato Namikaze tried to explain for Sandai, but the more he spoke, the smaller his voice became, and he felt that his explanation didn't make sense.
Mainly because he was a smart man, he could understand what was going on. It was nothing more than Sandai thinking that this would allow the villagers to vent their grievances and control Naruto mentally.
Of course, he despised this behavior, and would be angry if it happened to his own son, but Sandai had done him a favor, and he was the Fourth Hokage, so he had to think more from the perspective of the village.
And now he had discovered his son's grievances against Konoha, and felt that things were really troublesome. As a father and the Fourth Hokage, did he have to clean up the mess for Sandai?
He wanted to reason with Naruto, but looking at Kushina's look, let alone whether Naruto would listen or not, his wife would beat him up first.
Thinking of this, Minato sighed in his heart, thinking that this matter was difficult, and he could only let it go and see what Naruto would think when he grew up.
Now that Lu Li had given them the opportunity to be a member of the family, regardless of Lu Li's purpose, he was naturally grateful in his heart. He did not want to think too much about utilitarian things for the time being, and wanted to enjoy the joy of being a member of the group first.
Due to the disturbance caused by the arrival of Naruto's parents, the training in the martial arts field today ended early. Sasuke was very arrogant and said that Naruto was so old and still wanted to get into his mother's arms, which was really shameless.
Naruto was very embarrassed to hear this. After the excitement of seeing his parents, he went against his desire and separated from Kushina, saying that he was a ninja and asked his mother not to look down on him.
In the evening, Orochimaru also ran out of the laboratory for a rare time and had dinner with everyone in the cafeteria.
By the way, the person in charge of cooking was actually Kabuto Yakushi... He actually had good cooking skills.
Because the Sand Village's spy plan was exposed, he wasn't going anywhere for the time being. He spent all day helping Orochimaru with research and taking care of the children's daily life.
"I roughly understand the matter, Mr. Lu, you said that the Akatsuki organization is preparing to collect tailed beasts, and Naruto is also a target. There are only a few years left. What should we do?"
Minato said, the couple sat at the dining table with Lu Li and the others, while Naruto sat at the same table with the children.
In the afternoon, when Kushina hugged Naruto to greet him, he discussed the current situation of the genin world with Lu Li, and he probably understood that now it was not about Lu Li's troubles in Konoha to establish a new structure led by Uchiha, but to care about himself first. What a big boy's life and death.
The threat from the Akatsuki organization should not be underestimated, but even with the careful guidance of the couple and Orochimaru, it would be impossible for a child like Naruto to become a powerful ninja in his own right within a few years.
"There is no need to worry too much about this. We can still buy a few more years to face the future turmoil in the ninja world. After all, the Akatsuki organization may not be completely uncontrollable."
Lu Li ate the sushi made by Kou Dou and said vaguely.
"Oh? Mr. Lu, I'm more curious about why you want to go against Payne than how you want to deal with the organization."
Orochimaru asked curiously.
"Against Payne?"
Lu Li shook his head, "I have no objection to him. To be honest, I think the dream of collecting nine tailed beasts to deter the five major countries and stop the war is quite reliable. When did I say I would deal with Payne?"
Orochimaru was even more confused this time, and Minato and his wife also looked at Lu Li warily.
"Lu Jun, if you don't deal with the Akatsuki organization, how are you going to protect Naruto and keep the Nine-Tails?"
Orochimaru became more and more curious.
"Compared to the Akatsuki organization, you will find more threatening figures in the future. Pain's ideal is not something very perverted and difficult to understand. Assuming that the Jinchuuriki are not related to us, don't you want to see a world without war? The world?"
Lu Li put down the fork in his hand, "Those present are all famous figures in the ninja world. There shouldn't be anyone naive enough to think that peace brought by the use of force is not peace, right?"
Minato and Kushina were silent, but Orochimaru smiled, "So, Riku-kun, you want to help the Akatsuki organization achieve its goals?"
"That's the case for the time being, but it's impossible for Kyuubi to give it to him, at least not all of it, and whether or not to give it to him, and when to give it to him, is up to us."
Lu Li's words were convoluted, but several people still understood that Minato still had the other half of the Nine-Tails chakra in his body, and if this part was handed over, it would not have any impact on Naruto.
As long as the Kyuubi is still in their hands, they will have a certain degree of initiative, and they can even use this to negotiate in the future.
"In short, the water in the ninja world is deep. Just like Minato, you probably can't imagine that the masked man who attacked Konoha is Obito, right?"
Lu Li didn't want to discuss this issue in depth. If the whole story was revealed, the intelligence advantage of being a pioneer would become smaller and it would be too inconsistent.
"Obito!?"
Minato stood up in shock, "No way, Obito is not that kind of person, how could he kill me and Kushina!"
Lu Li shrugged, "Because he is a beast."
"Minato, calm down."
Kushina frowned slightly and looked at Lu Li, "Do you have any evidence? I have an impression of that child. He is a sunny and cheerful child."
As his master's wife, he was very good to Minato's three children. He even hosted them for dinner at home on weekends, so he was naturally very familiar with Obito.
"Evidence? Sasuke's brother has already proved it in the battle. If you don't believe it, wait until I kill the masked man and hold his head up for you to identify."
Lu Li said, "To me, it doesn't matter who he is. He attacked me and tricked me once. He won't stop until I kill him, so I want to ask Minato for some space ninjutsu."
"You want to learn space ninjutsu?"
Minato looked at Lu Li in surprise, with a strange expression, "Space ninjutsu is very complicated. Didn't you hate ninjutsu with complicated theories when you were in Konoha?"
"It's not about learning, I just want to know more about the principles so that I can kill him easier."
Lu Li explained that he had obtained the Encyclopedia of Konoha's Forbidden Techniques, but it would take a lot of time to learn them one by one. As for space ninjutsu, he might as well ask a ready-made master for advice.
"In that case, I will teach you tomorrow, but I still don't believe that the masked man is Obito."
Minato seemed to have great confidence in his disciple and felt that Obito was a good boy with good character.
…………
"Ah... I failed again. Why can't I even use the clone technique well? Am I really my parents' child?"
Naruto fell to the ground with difficulty. He had exhausted all his chakra while practicing ninjutsu.
Kushina frowned and checked Naruto's condition. She had used the sealing technique yesterday to re-strengthen Naruto's seal. It was supposed that Naruto's situation of out-of-control chakra would be much better, but for some reason it was still difficult to release the ninjutsu.
"Hey, Kyuubi, do you still recognize me? Are you so reluctant to hang out with my son?"
Kushina used a secret technique to talk to the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, but the Nine-Tails ignored her, making her furious.
It's just that she has been with Kyuubi for many years, and she naturally knows that this guy has an awkward personality and is difficult to take care of. She used to rely on her superb sealing skills to suppress Kyuubi, and she has never borrowed Kyuubi's power.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you come over and find a solution?"
Kushina was even more furious when she saw Minato giggling on the side, "It's just like you commanding the Nine Tails."
Minato really wanted to say that he could borrow some of the Nine-Tails' power, because the Nine-Tails was sealed into the belly of the God of Death with him, and they had communicated in the special world. As the Fourth Hokage, the Nine-Tails would not look down on him. As long as he served well, the Nine-Tails would be willing to "reward" him with some chakra.
Lu Li, who was strolling nearby, saw this scene and frowned, "You haven't solved the Nine-Tails problem yet, have you?"
Kushina rolled her eyes beautifully, and her expression was as if to say, if you can do it, then do it.
