Chapter 57 Minato Wants to Test!
Naruto jumped down from the high table, which startled Minato, his father.
But Naruto was completely unharmed.
Naruto: I'm already quite used to falling from trees. ヽ(ー_ー)ノ
What's going on?
I remember the sealing space wasn't like this when the Nine-Tails was sealed.
The current sealed space.
There is sunlight (specially provided by Hashirama's chakra), trees (specially made by Hashirama), a racetrack (specially made by Hashirama), and people in a vegetative state...
etc.
A person in a vegetative state?
!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
Why is that person wearing red armor and a Konoha headband here?
And he looks so familiar.
After getting off the table, Naruto ran straight towards the man.
Minato's mind went blank for about five seconds before he remembered the man's identity.
"Hatsudaime-sama?"
His tone was somewhat hesitant, after all, it was common knowledge in the ninja world that the First Hokage had died long ago.
Otherwise, the other ninja villages wouldn't have dared to launch a ninja war, and the mysterious masked man wouldn't have dared to invade Konoha.
"Yo. Fourth Hokage, Minato, right?"
Hashirama greeted Minato warmly.
"You...know me?"
Minato produced a kunai with the sealing runes of the Sword of Love engraved on it.
"Haha, don't worry, it was Nine-Tails who told me."
Hashirama smiled, then pointed to Kurama, who was still bristling inside the cage.
"Hey, hot mom Hashirama, why did you tell this jerk my name?!"
Kurama roared at Hashirama in dissatisfaction.
"Hey, you should be quiet for a moment. After all, he's Naruto's father.
Hashirama scratched his head and called out to Kurama.
"cut."
Kurama turned his head away, scoffed, and then lay down again.
"Minato Namikaze, let me explain it to you."
Hashirama omitted the information about the blue screen and replaced it with the Sage of Six Paths, which Kurama had accidentally let slip earlier.
He also revealed that Naruto was the Child of Prophecy.
o((⊙﹏⊙))o
Minato was stunned.
It was true that he hadn't encountered such a thing while he was alive, but he had seen it after he died.
"So, are you planning to break the seal on the Nine-Tails?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox inside the cage gave Minato a look that suggested he was an idiot.
Isn't this obvious?
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Naruto nodded next to Hashirama.
At the same time, he lifted his T-shirt, signaling to Hashirama to help him break the seal.
"Um, please wait a moment."
There's a lot of information, but Watergate still needs to confirm one thing.
So, is this Hashirama really the First Hokage?
After all, this matter concerns his own son, his own son!
If something goes wrong after the seal is broken, Kushina inside will curse him to death.
"May I have a friendly spar with you?"
Minato asked, and at the same time, five Flying Thunder God kunai appeared in his hand.
"Oh, that's good. But your current state..."
Minato knew that Hashirama was referring to the state in which his own chakra existed.
"It's alright. Anyway, I'm just an incarnation of chakra. My real body is probably still sleeping soundly in the stomach of the Grim Reaper with the other half of Kurama."
Minato chuckled, glancing at the haughty fox who had turned its head away from the cage with its azure eyes.
This personality trait is somewhat similar to Kushina's.
Perhaps I can get along quite well with Kurama, no, Kurama.
What a pity.
The image of the wicked, mysterious masked man flashed through my mind.
Alright, now it's time to confirm the identity of this first-generation leader.
"Hey, you can go to the side."
Minato spoke to Naruto, who was standing next to Hashirama.
Naruto glanced at his teacher, and after receiving his nod, he ran to the tree next to him, while also reaching out his hand to Kurama.
After staring at each other for ten seconds, Nine-Tails gave in.
The expectant look in the eyes of the child he raised was irresistible, so Nine-Tails had no choice but to give in to him.
A little Kurama squeezed out from the crack, hopped and skipped onto Naruto's head, and lazily stretched.
ヾ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ
Yay!
After picking a few more fruits from the tree, Naruto and Kurama began their comfortable movie-watching mode.
The image at this moment shows Naruto sitting by a tree with a little Kurama perched on his head.
He is eating a fruit in his left hand and feeding another fruit to Kurama in his right.
Hashirama and Minato are about to start their sparring session not far away.
"Hey... Snap... Which road to drag... um... who do you want to win?"
Kurama thought Naruto was feeding him too slowly, so he grabbed the fruit with his tail and started eating it himself, while asking Naruto a question.
"I... Hope the teacher wins."
Naruto was unaware of the difference in their strength, but one was his father and the other was his teacher.
As mentioned before, Hashirama was already family to Naruto.
The first generation was already his family, so it doesn't seem like a big deal that the fourth generation was his father.
The third generation is actually his own grandfather.
Yes, Sarutobi would occasionally take Naruto to the public bathhouse during those three years, treating Naruto like a grandfather to his grandson, though they didn't spend much time together.
Hashirama was there for Naruto during what should have been the darkest three years of his life, including comforting him, helping him rescue his friends, teaching him ninjutsu, and playing with him...
And his unfamiliar father...
In conclusion, Naruto chooses his teacher as the winner.
Kurama's lips curled up slightly.
Tsk tsk tsk, you foolish Minato Namikaze, your son has already become my (and Hashirama's) color!!!
Hehehehe!
"Yeah, I also think that Hashirama guy can win."
Nine-Tails took a bite of the fruit and said.
After all, Hashirama is currently at his peak, while Minato is merely an incarnation of chakra.
Even if you pulled Minato's true form out of the Shinigami's belly, plus his other half, he still wouldn't be a match for Hashirama.
Some people might ask.
Isn't stagnant water gloomy? ⊙(・◇・)?
Does Hashirama's top-transformed Buddha Minato in his Sage Mode have any ability to fight back?
You should know that when I was at my complete form, I was easily choked by just one hand.
Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it.
"Alright, they're about to begin."
Naruto patted Kurama and pointed to the two people talking in the distance.
With Hashirama giving him the first move, Minato threw five Flying Thunder God kunai in all directions.
"First Generation Lord, I have offended you greatly!"
Even though he was just a chakra incarnation, Minato felt a slight excitement when facing the former God of Shinobi.
Hashirama chuckled. Really, he looks just like his little brother.
