Chapter Index

    “Muzuki, is something wrong? Minato has been acting mysterious the whole way here, and he wouldn’t tell me why we came,” Kushina asked, walking casually over to Muzuki.

    Since Minato Namikaze knew about Uzumaki Naruto, it was easier to explain, so Muzuki only told Minato Namikaze about the parallel world.

    It seemed Minato Namikaze wanted to give Kushina a surprise, so he hadn’t told her the reason.

    “Dad…” Naruto instinctively called out, seeing Minato Namikaze and Kushina suddenly arrive, but then immediately closed his mouth.

    These weren’t his parents; there was another Naruto in this world, and these were that Naruto’s parents.

    Last time, he didn’t understand the situation and mistook Muzuki’s world’s Minato Namikaze for his father, but now that he knew the truth, he couldn’t just call out like that.

    Otherwise, wouldn’t he be stealing “his own” parents?

    “Dad?! Could it be…”

    Kushina looked at Minato Namikaze in shock, then glanced at Naruto.

    “This is why Muzuki called us here; you must have already guessed it,” Minato Namikaze said with a gentle smile.

    Kushina nodded.

    Naruto’s face uncontrollably broke into a smile at the sight.

    This was the greatness of maternal love; no matter what, a mother could recognize her child.

    “It’s an illegitimate child! It’s definitely your illegitimate child from outside, Minato!” Kushina said angrily.

    Minato Namikaze:…

    Uzumaki Naruto:…

    “Wrong, you guessed wrong!” Naruto quickly waved his hands and said.

    If Minato Namikaze and Kushina from Muzuki’s world were to fall out or even divorce because of this, then he would have truly messed things up for his other self.

    “Looking at the age, it’s impossible,” Minato Namikaze added, explaining.

    “Look at how nervous you both are; I was just joking,” Kushina laughed loudly.

    This blond young man indeed had traces of Minato Namikaze, but also of Kushina.

    Kushina looked at the blond young man in front of her, feeling as if she was seeing a grown-up Naruto, and of course, she wouldn’t think it was the result of Minato Namikaze having an affair.

    “But what exactly is going on? Someone explain it to me?” Kushina asked, hands on her hips, her gaze shifting between Muzuki, Minato Namikaze, and Naruto.

    “I heard ‘you know’! What’s the deal with this young man who looks so much like a grown-up Naruto?”

    Kushina had a verbal tic; when she got excited or spoke quickly, she would involuntarily say ‘you know’.

    The blond young man in front of her not only shared features with both her and Minato Namikaze but also had a similar verbal tic and the Nine-Tailed’s Chakra within him.

    No matter how Kushina thought about it, she felt that this blond young man had a deep connection with Naruto.

    “Mom… oh no, Aunt Kushina, I’m your child from another world,” Naruto proactively explained.

    “How can you be both an aunt and a child?” Kushina couldn’t help but retort.

    “He is Uzumaki Naruto, from another world. It’s a world very similar to ours, with many Ninja who look and are named the same as those in our world.

    And he is ‘our’ child in that Ninja World,” Minato Namikaze explained in detail.

    “There’s actually such a thing, you know!” Kushina looked surprised.

    Just now, she was wondering if the future Ninja World had invented a space-time Ninjutsu that could travel through time, and then Namikaze Naruto used it to return to the past.

    The result was even more outrageous than she imagined; there were actually parallel worlds.

    In a place she couldn’t see, another version of her was living her life.

    “Can you tell me about the other me? What kind of person is she? Does she really look exactly like me? What’s her temper like…?” Kushina’s curiosity exploded, and she asked several questions at once.

    “Kushina,” Minato Namikaze shook his head at Kushina.

    Uzumaki Naruto was an orphan who lost his parents from a young age, so how could he know about his mother?

    However, this wasn’t Kushina’s fault. Uzumaki Naruto must have investigated his background after returning, so he wasn’t like the first time he came, where he didn’t even know who his father was.

    Kushina couldn’t guess Uzumaki Naruto’s situation like Minato Namikaze could.

    Minato Namikaze’s reaction made Kushina a little confused, and she looked at him questioningly.

    “Yes, exactly the same. I don’t know much about my mom, but I think she’s a beautiful, gentle, brave, and strong female Ninja!” To Minato Namikaze’s surprise, Naruto didn’t look disappointed; instead, he smiled brightly and praised Kushina profusely.

    “Haha, that’s totally me!” Kushina was overjoyed to hear it.

    Although Naruto was praising the Kushina from his own world, Naruto said they were exactly the same, so essentially, he was praising her too.

    “Hehe,” Naruto chuckled, scratching his head.

    Before he saw Kushina’s Chakra, Naruto definitely wouldn’t have been able to say anything, not even knowing what Kushina looked like.

    Kushina’s Chakra had told Naruto a lot, and he now had a clear understanding of his mother.

    “Naruto, how are your studies and Ninjutsu training going? Do you have a girlfriend yet?” Kushina then turned her attention to Naruto’s personal situation.

    Since the two worlds were extremely similar, theoretically, the current Uzumaki Naruto and the future Namikaze Naruto shouldn’t be too different.

    “Ninjutsu is, I guess, okay, but as for studies, I can’t keep up at all. I don’t have a girlfriend yet, but I do have someone I like,” Naruto answered honestly.

    His Ninjutsu was only bad during his Ninja Academy days; as for various cultural theories and such, he still wasn’t good at them now.

    “Eh, how did he even inherit this?” Kushina sighed helplessly; she wasn’t good at theory either, so it seemed Naruto inherited this from her, not Minato Namikaze.

    “Aunt Kushina, you don’t have to worry. When ‘Naruto’ goes to school, if you strictly supervise his studies, his grades shouldn’t be as bad as mine,” Naruto comforted her.

    However, despite Naruto’s best efforts to control his emotions, a hint of loneliness was inevitably present in his voice.

    Sometimes he wondered if he hadn’t been an orphan, would he not have been a dead last in Ninja Academy?

    As soon as Naruto said this, Kushina, combining it with Minato Namikaze’s earlier behavior, instantly felt that something was off.

    “Everyone has strengths and weaknesses; it’s okay to be bad at studies,” Kushina’s voice softened considerably.

    “Also, don’t call me Aunt Kushina anymore; it feels weird. Even though I’m not your biological mother, I am Kushina, so being a godmother should be fine.”

    “Isn’t that…” Naruto was a little moved, but he still couldn’t quite get over that hurdle in his heart.

    “Your mother is named Kushina, and I am also Kushina, so why can’t I be your mother?” Kushina said with Haki, walking up to Naruto and staring into his eyes.

    “I believe Naruto wouldn’t mind having another excellent elder brother either.”

    “Mom…” Kushina’s suddenly softened voice made Naruto involuntarily think of his mother whom he had seen in the consciousness space not long ago, and he couldn’t help but call out.

    “Good child,” Kushina gently stroked Uzumaki Naruto’s head with a tender expression.

    “Naruto, you must have just finished your training. It’s lunchtime now, so let Mom treat you to her cooking,” Kushina volunteered.

    Her cooking might not be as good as Muzuki’s in terms of taste, but her cooking might allow Naruto to experience the ‘taste of a mother’ that he hadn’t felt for a long time.

    Naruto looked at Muzuki.

    Muzuki had said they would depart for his world this afternoon.

    “Of course, we have to eat our fill before we leave, otherwise, how will we have the strength to fight?” Muzuki said.

    “Mhm!” Naruto’s face showed an expression of immense anticipation.

    Contrary to what Kushina thought, Naruto hadn’t experienced the ‘taste of a mother’ for a long time; rather, he simply didn’t know what the ‘taste of a mother’ was like.

    Kushina’s Chakra couldn’t make Naruto a four-dish, one-soup meal in the consciousness space for him to taste.

    Due to the large number of people, Muzuki and Minato Namikaze helped Kushina.

    The others were doing their own things.

    Jiraiya said he was going to gather material and even forcibly dragged Orochimaru away.

    Kakuzu wandered around Lou Lan, observing its development.

    Naruto and the others sat in the living room, chatting while waiting for lunchtime.

    “You all must be careful of Uchiha Madara; that guy is a super scoundrel who commits all sorts of evil,” Naruto warned with a serious expression.

    “After my parents’ Chakra awakened, I learned that the Nine-Tailed attack that led to their sacrifice back then was also Uchiha Madara’s conspiracy; Uchiha Madara personally released the Nine-Tailed.”

    “So that’s it. No wonder we didn’t find any enemies when we were on guard. It turns out the attacker was Uchiha Madara,” Obito said with a sudden realization. He had wondered why they hadn’t found any enemies on the night Kushina gave birth.

    Uchiha Madara in their world had already been killed by Muzuki, so since the enemy was killed beforehand, the attack naturally couldn’t happen.

    “This Uchiha Madara is truly hateful. Big Brother Naruto, don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll definitely help you beat him up severely with Teacher Muzuki!” Obito patted his chest and said.

    Once they crossed over and Muzuki thrashed Uchiha Madara, he would take the opportunity to kick him a few more times, which would also count as getting revenge for Naruto.

    “What other subordinates does Uchiha Madara have now?” Kakashi asked after thinking for a moment.

    Although Uchiha Madara was powerful, he didn’t have the strength to overturn the entire Ninja World by himself, otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited so long to make his move.

    “I’m not sure, but there are a lot, maybe tens of thousands,” Naruto recalled and answered.

    The moment he sensed the outside situation, Naruto sensed an countless number of Chakra.

    “How could so many Ninja choose to follow Uchiha Madara?” Kakashi frowned slightly; tens of thousands of Ninja was not a small number.

    “There aren’t still remnants of Uchiha Madara in the Ninja World, are there?” Kakashi couldn’t help but think.

    Tens of thousands of Ninja couldn’t be trained in a short time.

    “Probably not. Among the Chakra I sensed, many of them were identical,” Naruto said, shaking his head.

    He felt that even if Uchiha Madara had followers, they would be like Sasuke and Nagato, who were misled down the wrong path, and they would be a minority.

    “Identical Chakra,” Kakashi showed a thoughtful expression.

    Chakra was like a fingerprint for Ninja; it shouldn’t be completely identical.

    If it was completely identical, it could only mean one thing: it was one person’s Chakra.

    “Could it be a breakthrough in cloning technology, creating a squad of cloned Ninja?” Kakashi speculated.

    “Impossible. It should be through other means to achieve an effect similar to cloning,” Sasori denied.

    Creating clones and stably mass-producing clones that could become Ninja and fight were two different concepts; the latter represented an extremely high level of technology.

    Sasori would rather believe that Uchiha Madara had mastered some powerful forbidden secret Ninjutsu.

    This was more consistent with Uchiha Madara’s identity.

    “Almost done, everyone get ready to eat,” Kushina, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen and said with a gentle smile.

    “Mom, I know. I’ll go find Ero-Sennin,” Naruto stood up and said, gathering Sage Mode.

    “You go wash your hands; Minato will go find him,” Kushina hoped Naruto would rest a bit more.

    “It’s fine, I can find him in an instant using Sage Mode.” With that, Naruto entered Sage Mode, sensed Jiraiya and Orochimaru’s locations, and immediately dashed out.

    Naruto also informed Kakuzu on the way.

    “This is so good,” Naruto shoveled down his food, occasionally glancing at Minato Namikaze and Kushina sitting to his left and right, his sense of happiness rapidly increasing.

    “Is it delicious?” Kushina noticed Naruto’s gaze, put down her chopsticks, and asked with a smile.

    “Mmm, delicious!” Naruto’s voice was a little muffled as he was still chewing nonstop.

    “If it’s delicious, eat more. No rush, eat slowly,” Kushina saw Naruto eating a bit quickly, so she gently stroked his back and said softly.

    In the kitchen, Kushina had thoroughly learned about the parallel world.

    Upon learning that traveling back in time for a short period might only take an instant, both Kushina and Minato wanted to join the aid force. However, Muzuki refused them.

    The reason was that the number of people was already full, and any more might cause an accident.

    Muzuki wasn’t entirely making things up; Celebi’s ability to transport people also depended on Chakra; the stronger the Chakra of a person, the more power Celebi needed to expend.

    Bringing an extra Kushina would be very taxing for Celebi.

    Furthermore, Muzuki felt that it would be a bit awkward if Kushina and Minato Namikaze went.

    Because at that time, Minato Namikaze from Uzumaki Naruto’s world would be resurrected by Edo Tensei.

    If Muzuki brought Kushina and Minato Namikaze over, there would be two Minato Namikaze.

    After dinner, Muzuki gathered everyone, had Sara control the Dragon Veins power, and then Celebi used the Dragon Veins power to unleash space-time power, locking onto the required space-time coordinates based on Naruto’s body.

    “Dad, Mom, goodbye!” Naruto waved at Minato Namikaze and Kushina.

    “Come back and visit when you have time!” Kushina waved goodbye.

    “Because we’re using the Dragon Veins’ power, there might be a small fluctuation in time, but there’s no need to be nervous; just be cautious,” Muzuki gave his final reminder.

    With Celebi present, there wouldn’t be a huge error like with Naruto and Hundred Feet, but small fluctuations of a day or two were still possible.

    However, this wasn’t a big problem; Muzuki had given everyone a life-saving repair elixir.

    If someone was truly unlucky and something happened, Muzuki could travel again with Celebi to remedy the situation.

    Everyone nodded; Muzuki had already said this once before leaving the inn.

    Finally, with a flash of light, Muzuki and his group disappeared from Kushina and Minato’s sight.

    “Good child, thank you, huh?” In a certain part of Lou Lan, an old Grandma thanked a young man who had helped her, but then found that he had suddenly vanished.
