Closing his eyes and protecting his head with his hands, Naruto was ready to be beaten, but was soon hugged tightly by Kushina, stroking his head.
Naruto had never been hugged like this as long as he could remember, even by his ninja brothers and sisters who treated him very well.
But at this moment, being hugged by the stranger who kidnapped him, he didn't feel any disgust in his heart. He even felt warmth and a sense of closeness that he had never felt before.
After breaking away from the embrace with force, Naruto looked at Kushina, still confused in his heart.
"Who are you anyway?"
The doubt in Naruto's eyes was seen by Kushina, and all that was left in her heart was heartache. If she hadn't felt sorry for her son, she would have made a fuss even if the third generation old man called her such a nickname.
After pondering for a while, Kushina slowly said: "I am the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki... and also your mother."
"The previous Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, are you talking about the guy with the belly?"
When he heard the second half of the sentence, Naruto was stunned, took half a step back and said with a smile: "Don't be joking, I am an orphan and have never seen my parents. Even though my brothers and sisters said that my parents went out on a mission...
But what kind of mission needs to be carried out for more than ten years? They are just comforting me. My parents should have died long ago."
As he said that, Naruto lowered his head, his expression became increasingly gloomy, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Kushina and said, "Now that you are telling me that you are not dead, then where have you been all these years."
Although he couldn't remember the faces of his parents, Naruto could feel the resonance of his bloodline and was sure that the red-haired figure in front of him was his mother who he had not yet met.
Kushina fell into deep thought, and then spoke after a long time: "Naruto, the real explanation is very complicated, but your father and I did die once, and were resurrected not long ago..."
The body is asleep and the soul is bound in the body of the God of Death. It is indeed no different from truly dying.
"ha?"
Naruto was immediately confused.
Resurrection from the dead? Although he has not graduated from the ninja school, he still has basic discernment skills and knows that people cannot be resurrected after death.
Suddenly, a tremor shook the ground. After barely stabilizing his body, Naruto climbed to a nearby high place and looked at the fighting area.
In Naruto's sight, the block near the gate of the village had become ruins. The ninjas in the village and the giant beasts more than ten meters high were engaged in a melee.
The village was attacked, and this was not the first time Naruto had encountered it.
But that doesn't stop him from worrying about the village. The death of any familiar person will cause him sadness.
He had no parents before, so he regarded the people who cared about him as relatives. Without a safe haven, he regarded Konoha Hidden Village as his home.
At this time, Naruto remembered what Kushina said before.
My mother once seemed to be just like me, a jinchūriki with the big guy in her belly. If she could catch such a big guy, my mother should be able to stop this battle!
Thinking of this, Naruto looked at Kushina with expectant eyes and said, "Can you drive away the bad guys who attacked the village?"
"I don't have such an ability!" Kushina shook her head slightly, feeling the chakras fighting in the distance.
One chakra aura belonged to Teacher Jiraiya, while the other chakra made her feel familiar. The other chakra seemed to be from the destroyed ninja clan, the Uzumaki clan, just like herself.
As for why members of the Uzumaki clan became enemies of the village, she had no idea.
However, I heard that Teacher Jiraiya had informed him in advance that he seemed to have accepted a Uzumaki tribesman as his apprentice in the Land of Rain, but he ended up dying in the flames of war.
A whoosh!
With the appearance of the streamer, more figures wearing masks appeared in front of Kushina and Naruto.
After slowly taking off his mask, Namikaze Minato said calmly: "I drove the masked man away, Kushina and Naruto, are you two okay?"
After a pause, Namikaze Minato looked at Naruto and explained: "Sorry, although you may not have the impression, I am your father."
"Father?!" Naruto was stunned on the spot, his face full of surprise.
What surprised him was not that he had an extra father, but that Namikaze Minato's appearance gave him an unusually familiar feeling. He raised his head and looked at the Fourth Hokage above the Shadow Rock. They were exactly the same.
"Are you the Fourth Hokage?" Naruto said in disbelief. Anyone who has a Hokage father would be so excited that it is difficult to calm down, let alone he was an orphan not long ago.
When mentioning the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato's eyes flickered, he shook his head and said: "I am not the Fourth Hokage, but I am somewhat similar to that Fourth Hokage... We are all ordinary people."
"Okay." Naruto's face flashed a hint of depression, but he quickly recovered.
Kushina's expression changed, and then she repeated Minato Namikaze's words and said: "We are all ordinary people, it is enough to live our own lives..."
Naruto didn't realize the other meaning in his words, but it didn't stop him from asking his parents for help.
"Father, mother, you should all be powerful ninjas. Go up and fight off the outsiders who attack the village."
Namikaze Minato and Kushina looked at each other and said: "The enemy's target is you, as long as you are protected, it is enough."
"But, but..." Naruto wanted to retort, but he could also understand his own importance.
Kushina said gently: "Naruto, if you are captured, the efforts of others will be in vain. You must protect yourself."
Kushina was comforting Naruto on the one hand, and convincing herself on the other.
She and her husband Minato Namikaze both sacrificed their lives for the village on the Night of the Nine-Tails, and entrusted the infant Naruto to be raised by the third generation.
Now after returning from the belly of death, they decided to live for themselves.
She is the same as before, but Minato's character has changed drastically. In the past, Minato would not talk too much nonsense, and would immediately rush to the battlefield to fight the enemies who attacked the village.
Now, he has been guarding them and has not gone to the battlefield for a long time.
Kushina was not sure about the changes in her personality after resurrecting from the dead, but during the time they stayed in the Box of Bliss, they must have been greatly affected and quietly made changes.
According to Hyugazo who resurrected them, their spiritual and physical bodies were in an extremely embarrassing situation and had to stay in the Box of Bliss to cultivate...
A more straightforward statement is that their current bodies have been transformed into living puppets.
Their spirits reside on the living puppets and control them.
This sounds very outrageous, but it is the reality they are currently facing. Hinata Zang does not have the ability to truly resurrect the Minato couple who have been dead for many years. They only use Scorpion's technology to achieve similar effects.
