Chapter 282 I Don't Need You Anymore
Naruto's family.
After finishing his meal, Naruto put the bowls in the sink and began washing them.
Kushina looked at Naruto with a gentle expression.
Naruto is diligent, hardworking, and self-disciplined. Although he is a bit careless, he has not gone astray.
Thinking of this, Kushina felt especially grateful to Chiyo.
I am also full of anticipation for the days to come.
"Mom, the dishes are washed. Shall we go out now?" Naruto finished getting ready and took off his apron.
Kushina patted the sofa, gesturing for Naruto to come over.
Naruto sat down with some curiosity.
Kushina said gently, her voice deep: "We're not going to the Memorial Hall of Heroes."
"It goes into your heart."
As she spoke, Kushina placed her hand on Naruto's head.
Naruto felt his gaze shift and he was already in his inner world.
Ahead was a huge cage, inside which was the Nine-Tails that Naruto was already familiar with.
"Ah, Nine-Ra, it's been a long time."
Kurama and Naruto have a good relationship now, and Kurama doesn't usually interfere with Naruto's chakra.
Talk to Naruto when you're in a good mood, and also improve Naruto's recovery ability.
Kurama, who was lying down, glanced at Naruto and Kushina and said, "Don't disturb my sleep, brat."
Kushina waved her little fist at Kurama, somewhat displeased.
However, Naruto and Kurama have had a fairly good relationship in the past two years, so she has stopped interfering.
She tapped the sealing talisman that sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox.
A burst of chakra flew out.
Under Naruto's shocked gaze, he transformed into the appearance of the Fourth Hokage.
"What's wrong, Kushina? What happened to you...? Oh, Naruto's here too."
Minato's chakra has no concept of time within the seal; the last time it appeared was more than two years ago.
Seeing Kushina "complete" now is somewhat surprising.
Kushina gave a brief, low-pitched explanation, the main point being that Chiyo had summoned her soul to the mortal world.
I gave her a clone to use, which is equivalent to her being resurrected.
In addition, Chiyo is now preparing to take action against Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Therefore, we can now reveal Minato's identity.
Minato floated up to Naruto with a touch of emotion: "Naruto."
Naruto still felt a sense of unfamiliarity, but after all, they were father and son, and the more he looked at Minato, the more familiar he felt with him.
Are you my father?
With his mother's companionship over the years, Naruto has made up for much of his emotional void.
But his eyes were still red and moist.
Minato smiled and looked at Naruto: "Ah, yes."
Naruto wiped his wet eyes, and then...
A vicious punch landed on Minato's stomach!
Naruto used all his strength in that punch, and Minato couldn't help but stagger back several steps.
He gasped for breath in pain.
Naruto said angrily:
"So it was you who, in your cleverness, sealed the Nine-Tails inside me, wasn't that it!?"
"So you're the one who got the Third Hokage to take care of me, right!?"
"So you're the one who made me suffer all this bullying, right!?"
"You're the one who left me all alone, aren't you!?"
"If the principal hadn't exposed my identity, I'd still be starving and under the control of the Third Hokage."
"Do you know that I've never had a full meal before?"
"I finally managed to grill some fish, but the Third Hokage tricked me out of it."
As Naruto spoke, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
The water gate here is far more remorseful than the water gate in the original timeline.
After all, he had seen what kind of life Naruto had lived in the past.
He felt extremely guilty in the face of Naruto's accusations.
"You've suffered a lot, Naruto. I'm sorry, I'm not a good father."
“I’ve made you experience only painful memories, and I have no face to apologize to you as your father.”
Naruto wiped away his tears and glanced back at Kushina: "It's alright now, it's over."
"You don't need to apologize to me anymore. I already have a mother, and I don't need you anymore."
Naruto didn't develop a saintly personality here, so his resentment towards Minato didn't dissipate so easily.
Minato was deeply saddened upon hearing this, knowing that he had hurt Naruto deeply.
He has no right to ask Naruto to forgive him.
More than two years ago, Naruto cried and said that he didn't want his mom and dad anymore.
For Minato, this incident feels like it happened just yesterday.
Kushina's eyes were also red, but she couldn't help her son forgive Minato either.
Because this whole thing was Minato's fault.
While Minato's actions as Hokage were not inherently wrong, as a father, he was undeniably responsible for the immense suffering he brought to his son.
"Naruto..." Minato wanted to say something.
But Naruto's figure disappeared quickly.
This means that he refused to communicate with Minato in his inner world.
Although Minato was somewhat prepared, he was still heartbroken at this moment.
Kushina floated to Minato's side and gently hugged him.
Two years ago, it was Minato who comforted Kushina; this time, it's Kushina who comforts Minato.
“It’s normal for Naruto to have resentment. I will try to comfort him.”
Minato hugged Kushina tightly: "I'm sorry, my wife."
"I don't know if I have enough time."
Minato smiled wryly, explaining that his chakra had only gained some time now thanks to the replenishment from Chiyo.
Otherwise, he would have disappeared just a moment ago.
Kushina leaned gently on Minato's shoulder: "Have you forgotten that Chiyo said he would revive both of us?"
"Although I am not exactly resurrected now, it is no different from being resurrected."
"Qianyao has done everything he promised, I trust him."
Minato gently stroked Kushina's hair: "I understand. Take good care of Naruto, and call me again next time."
Kushina gently nuzzled Minato twice with her head: "I'm going to check on Naruto. You go back first."
Minato released Kushina, nodded slightly to her, and then flew directly towards the seal.
Kushina also left Naruto's mental space.
The fox, who had been resting with its eyes closed, slightly curled the corners of its mouth upwards, seemingly finding it quite amusing.
Having detached herself from the mental world, Kushina watched Naruto sitting there with a somewhat dazed expression.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she seemed lifeless.
"Naruto."
Kushina patted Naruto's head.
"I'm sorry, Mom."
Before she could speak, Naruto threw himself into her arms, sobbing:
"I shouldn't have said I didn't want my father. It was clearly the Third Hokage's fault."
Kushina gently patted Naruto's back: "It's only natural for you to feel resentful."
"You've suffered so much, it's normal for you to say things out of anger."
Don't be too hard on yourself.
Naruto felt a complex mix of emotions, including gratitude, relief, and fear.
But he knew that his mother understood him, and that she was the best mother in the world.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Then I don't want to see my dad for now."
Kushina ruffled Naruto's hair and kissed him on the forehead:
"Okay, then I won't see you."
