Naruto, my uncle is going to be Hokage!

Chapter 27: For the Future Reunion

Same blonde hair, similar face.

Even those deep blue eyes were strangely the same.

Namikaze Mirai looked at the face he hadn't seen for three years, and countless complicated emotions were suppressed by him.

Finally, he nodded.

"Yes, I'm back."

This was the first time he saw Minato Namikaze after three years.

Even though, only a streak of chakra appeared, the appearance was exactly the same.

It also retains the memories of Minato's life.

The reunion between brothers seemed to have thousands of words to say, but they all ended in silence.

Minato's gaze passed over Namikaze Mirai and stayed on Naruto behind him. For some reason, there was a hint of trembling in his eyes.

"he is……"

"He is your son Naruto. You wouldn't have forgotten your own son after not seeing him for three years!"

Namikaze Mirai said with a smile.

Whoosh!
Minato disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was already in front of Naruto.

Naruto subconsciously shrank back, but when he saw the other person clearly, his eyes were instantly filled with tears.

"You are……"

"My dad?"

He had seen Minato's appearance, on the statue at the Hokage Rock, in the photo hanging in the Hokage Room, and in his uncle's description...

But I've never actually seen it.

Hearing those two words from Naruto's mouth, Minato couldn't help himself anymore and hugged Naruto into his arms.

"Naruto, I'm your father!"

The father and son who had not seen each other for three years finally hugged each other today.

"Naruto has had a hard time in the past three years..."

Behind me, the faint voice of Namikaze Mirai was heard.

"He was considered by the villagers to be a demon fox that caused chaos, and he was bullied by the entire village..."

Listening to Namikaze Mirai's narration, Minato gradually clenched his hands.

"How could this be?"

His eyes were a little red.

"Didn't Sandaime intervene at all? Why did he just watch Naruto suffer so much…"

In addition to feeling heartbroken and self-blaming, I also felt a little angry.

Obviously, he sealed the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body in the hope that one day in the future he would be able to harness this power and become a hero of the village.

But it seems that things are completely the opposite.

Naruto had a very miserable life as a child.

"I am okay."

Naruto was very sensible and wiped away the tears from Minato's eyes.

But the more this happened, the more Minato felt guilty.

He couldn't understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, did nothing?
Namikaze Mirai raised his eyes slightly and looked at Naruto. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed.

"Minato, your legacy was also swallowed up by them, leaving nothing for Naruto."

Silence, Minato was just silent.

But the fingers that were resting on Naruto were trembling slightly.

"Naruto, do you hate me?"

Because of his selfishness, he sealed the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body, which caused young Naruto to suffer so much.

Just listening to the description of Namikaze Mirai, he felt a suffocating pain.

These experiences would probably be difficult for an adult to bear.

What's more, Naruto is only three years old.

He was wrong!
I feel like I am so wrong!

"No, I don't hate it."

Naruto shook his head.

"At first, I didn't understand why my parents would do such a cruel thing and seal the demon fox in my stomach."

"But now, I understand. They must want their son to become a hero like them!"

Minato, tears streaming down his face, embraced Naruto once again.

A silly smile appeared on Naruto's lips.

Is this the embrace of loved ones?

So warm.

The two hugged each other for a long time before reluctantly parting.

"Mirai, thank you. If you hadn't come back, I don't know how I would face Naruto."

Minato's voice was apologetic.

He felt deeply indebted to Naruto.

"No, I came back too late."

Namikaze Mirai shook her head.

He is the one who should apologize.

"By the way, you seem to be stronger now than you were three years ago, right?"

Minato laughed and punched his chest.

He also sensed the battle between Namikaze Mirai and the Nine-Tails in the sealed space.

Although there was an element of Nine-Tailed Fox underestimating his enemy, being able to beat Nine-Tailed Fox like this was enough to prove his strength. "Well, although there were some accidents, my ability has indeed improved a lot compared to three years ago."

"That's it..."

Minato had emotion in his eyes.

Has my younger brother surpassed me?

"With you here, I can finally rest assured."

Namikaze Mirai's eyes turned serious and he spoke in a deep voice.

"What happened that night?"

He had investigated the Nine-Tails Night many times and obtained a lot of information from Kakashi and the Uchiha clan.

But, it's not enough.

As the most important eyewitness, Minato is naturally the one who knows the inside story of that night best.

"That night..."

Perhaps because it touched the wound in his heart, Minato's eyes turned cold.

"I was guarding Kushina who was giving birth when I was suddenly attacked. The attacker was wearing a tiger-patterned mask and his knowledge of time and space was not inferior to mine..."

Is it really time and space?
Namikaze Mirai's eyes were solemn.

Just as he speculated, only by having the same space-time ability could Minato be in such a mess.

"The enemy is very powerful. They took advantage of my concerns about Naruto and kidnapped Kushina who had just given birth..."

Minato narrated the story carefully, trying to make sure all the key points were mentioned.

The time he can keep this body is very limited.

I can only describe the key points.

A mysterious masked man, a man who hates Konoha, calls himself Uchiha Madara, and possesses the space-time eye technique Mangekyo...

As Minato's narration was told, Namikaze Mirai's profile of the enemy that night became clearer and clearer.

In a trance, it seemed that a man wearing a tiger-striped mask appeared before my eyes.

The scarlet Sharingan outside the mask was showing a sinister smile.

Namikaze Mirai's eyes were cold.

no doubt.

The masked man who does such a thing will be his biggest enemy in the future!

No matter who the other party is, he will not let him go!

"In the future, the time is coming."

Minato's gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.

The body formed by chakra was slowly surrounded by white light.

"So fast?"

Namikaze Mirai's eyes were dim.

Time passed faster than he thought.

"I'll leave it to you Naruto."

Minato smiled.

"Even if I am an incompetent brother, I beg you for the last time."

hum!
His gradually fading body dissipated and turned into countless white points of light, flying towards the deep sky above the sealed space.

"father!"

Naruto missed his target and the light penetrated his body.

He has cried his eyes out.

"Why so fast? I have so many things to say. Why don't you wait for me to finish? Why..."

Namikaze Mirai squatted down and gently stroked his golden hair.

"Don't worry, Naruto, you will meet again one day in the future!"

"Really, really?"

Naruto wiped his tears.

"But Dad and Mom have already..."

"Little fool, who told you that the dead can't be resurrected?"

Namikaze Mirai gave a crisp bang on the head, and her eyes turned into crescent shapes when she smiled.

"This world is huge, and there are many magical secrets that even I, your uncle, have not mastered. Maybe there is a technique to resurrect the dead?"

"Is that so?"

Naruto's heart was pounding.

If Mom and Dad could really be resurrected...

"There will come a day."

Namikaze Mirai smiled and looked into the distance. He was not talking nonsense. As far as he knew, Orochimaru mastered some forbidden technique to resurrect the dead, although it was not perfect yet.

But it is still a hope after all.

The world is very big, with countless wonderful things waiting for him to explore.

Maybe one day in the future, a perfect method for resurrecting the dead will be discovered.

By that time, Naruto's family reunion would no longer be a fantasy.

"So Naruto, you must cheer up. If your brother and sister-in-law are resurrected in the future, they will definitely be disappointed to see your decadent look."

"Yeah! I understand, uncle!"

Naruto seemed like a different person, full of energy!
"Pink pinky promise for our future reunion!"

Namikaze Mirai raised her little finger.

Naruto hooked his thumb.

"For our future reunion!"
