Chapter 6: The True Protagonist Appears
The mother and son hugged and cried for a while.
Kushina then pushed away Naruto a little and began to look up and down at her precious son. She stroked his forehead. She wiped his tears. She wiped the cold water for him.
She cared about everything Naruto had done over the years, but she knew that the time left for her was running out, and she could only do her part as a mother as much as she can.
"Naruto, be good. Let mom take a good look. How have you been in the past few years? Are you full? Are there any girls you like?"
These questions caused an awkward atmosphere throughout the scene. Not because these questions were too much. It's because neither Naruto nor Minato know how to answer this question for a while. Because Naruto's life in the past few years didn't really go well.
Namikaze Minato's eyes showed agony in his heart.
At a different time from the original work, at this time, Namikaze Minato was still unable to know how most people will recognize Uzumaki Naruto in the future, so he only felt more guilty for Naruto.
"Kushina…" Namikaze Minato whispered.
Kushina ignored the call, waved her hand, motioning him not to disturb her time with her son.
He didn't really think much about it. But then he really understood the saying, "Children are a treasure to their mother". Naruto buried himself in his mother's arms and started to cry coquettishly.
Naruto began to complain about the hardship over the years.
Holding Naruto tightly, turning her head to her husband, she glared at Minato: "Look at you! What kind of person have you entrusted our child to?! I was willing to sacrifice at first, just to let you take good care of Naruto! The results of it?! This is the bright future you want to leave for our son?! I'm so blind! Turns out, I don't know how to choose a man!"
Sure enough, when there is a child involved, the husband will lose. The son is the love of mother's life, after all.
Kushina had no intention of giving her husband a face at all. Hearing that her son has experienced such a hard day, no mother in the world can bear it!
One was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer.
Knowing that she only had little time left, Kushina no longer wastes time. Her mind returned to the little Naruto again. She exhorted: "Naruto, don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged. Everything will be fine, you know? After mom leaves, you must take good care of yourself. When others bully you, remember to fight back! Our beloved son, how could they bully you so easily?
The deep maternal love made Naruto felt that today is the happiest day since he was sensible. He put aside all his troubles and gave a refreshing 'hum'.
After venting all the frustrations in his heart, Naruto's resentment towards his father, Minato, also subsided. Only then he began to face his father.
Namikaze Minato also crouched down, took him into his arms, and said again: "I'm sorry Naruto."
After feeling the father's love buried in the depths, he pushed away Namikaze Minato. He asked reluctantly, "Are you going to leave? Can you not leave? Can I meet you again? Can you just stay with me? I don't want to be alone…."
This scene of Naruto's begging made Uzumaki Kushina, who had finally calmed down, burst into tears again. She said nothing this time because she knew that some things were unavoidable.
In the days to come, Naruto will have to face it all by himself.
Namikaze Minato came out with great concern at this time and comforted: "Naruto, you have grown up. You are a man. You must live a good life. Also, mom and dad are not leaving you. We will watch and guard you from the sky. You're not alone." He comforted Naruto for a while.
Naruto reluctantly accepted the fact that they were about to leave.
However, just as the two sides were about to say goodbye, Namikaze Minato suddenly squatted down, facing Naruto's eyes, and cautiously said: "Naruto, can you tell your dad, who has taught you so much these years? Who is taking care of you? Who told you about a seal?"
That's right. In fact, Namikaze Minato had long been aware of Naruto's abnormalities.
After all, as a father, he is more attentive to Naruto's every move than other people.
Unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen, nor the Anbu sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even though Sarutobi had a 'crystal ball', and even if Anbe stayed with Naruto for 24 hours, they were not concerned about the small details of Naruto's life.
Therefore, Naruto cleaned the house by himself. He changed his diapers by himself. At most, they only thought that Uzumaki Naruto was more independent and sensible than other children. After all, the children of Naruto World are relatively precocious, and people are used to it.
When Naruto heard this, he was taken aback. He did not know how to answer this question.
There is someone who taught him, took care of him, and told him the truth. The problem is, he doesn't even know who this person is at all? How to answer the question?
Just when Naruto was confused, Li Yaoxiang's voice sounded at this time: "Naruto, don't worry. Let me talk to your father personally."
Naruto was relieved after hearing this. The voice's owner will help him answer this question for his father. That would be great.
It didn't take long for Naruto, who has initially been full of tenderness, to turn around and change.
Suddenly his expression turned into a look that did not match his age.
Li Yaoxiang controlled Uzumaki Naruto's small body, his hands draped over his shoulders, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "You're looking for me?"
Namikaze Minato, who was initially still in close contact with Naruto, was immediately frightened and retreated back a few steps, keeping a certain distance from Li Yaoxiang. Even Kushina, who was standing behind him, was confused by the sudden movement.
Detecting the abnormality, she was asked quickly: "Naruto, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Don't scare your mother, okay?"
She was about to rush forward, but Namikaze Minato stretched out an arm to block the way and coldly said: "Don't go! He is not Naruto now."
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely solemn.
Kushina was worried. Namikaze Minato hesitated.
Li Yaoxiang was relaxed all the way through, keeping his seemingly harmless smile...
