Chapter 762: I Am Your Father!
"Goodness! Can we really see the future Naruto now?"
Before Minato could speak, Kushina, who had been waiting eagerly, lit up with excitement.
She had been anticipating this day for too long.
Though she didn’t know how far into the future they’d go or how old Naruto would be, that didn’t matter. She wanted to travel to another dimension and see Naruto from that world.
Previously, only Minato could do this, making Kushina incredibly jealous.
"Lord, is this really safe? Is there any danger...?"
"Don’t worry. With me here, there won’t be any accidents. Besides, don’t you trust your current strength?"
Lux asked Minato.
Minato nodded confidently. With his Rinnegan, Black Eye, and Flying Thunder God Technique, he was undoubtedly the strongest in the ninja world in terms of mechanics.
Though his physical strength was slightly less than Six Paths Naruto in Parallel World 7, he was still in the top echelon below Six Paths level.
Even against Isshiki, he could fight solo for a long time, possibly even turning the tide.
This strength ranked among the top across the seven Parallel Worlds.
Enough to handle most threats.
With Lux’s assurance, it was even safer.
"When do we leave? What about little Naruto? Can we bring him too?"
"Leave him here; it’s safer. Minato, you can leave a clone to care for him."
Baby Naruto was better off staying. If he got scared by his brutal future self and refused milk, it’d be extra trouble.
"Alright!"
Minato created a clone, cradling little Naruto, placing him in a rocking chair, and heading to the bedroom to put him to sleep.
"Lord, shall we go now?"
"Yes. But before we leave, you should mentally prepare yourselves..."
"Huh?"
"Naruto there is in trouble; his condition isn’t good. Konoha there is also quite pitiful. As parents, you can go calm him down."
Hearing this, Minato and Kushina didn’t yet grasp the gravity of the issue.
As a mother, Kushina proudly patted her chest:
"No problem. No matter how much he’s suffered or what he’s become, he’s still our son, right?"
"Of course, Naruto will always be our son!"
Minato nodded in agreement. He wasn’t worried at all—Naruto was his son, so there’d be no issues.
"Good, then let’s go."
Lux didn’t delay, immediately activating World Transfer, taking the Minato couple from Parallel World 4 to Parallel World 7.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Back in Parallel World 7, Lux’s sudden disappearance left Eida and Daemon confused.
"Gone?"
"Whoa! Did that guy just run off alone?"
"He couldn’t stop Uzumaki Naruto, so he just fled?"
Daemon shouted, instinctively assuming Lux had escaped.
"Don’t talk nonsense!"
Eida quickly covered her brother’s mouth. This was a Sennin even her Senrigan couldn’t spy on—who knew if he could hear Daemon’s careless muttering?
If he got angry, the siblings would be in trouble later.
Her instincts told her the mysterious Tenshou Sennin wouldn’t abandon Naruto.
"Then where’d he go? He didn’t even tell us."
"Just wait."
"Can’t wait! Sister, over there, it’s about to—"
Daemon grew more anxious. His sister might not sense Six Paths Naruto’s swelling killing intent, but he felt it clearly!
Even from thousands of meters away, the killing intent was like bone-chilling wind. He couldn’t imagine how terrifying it’d be up close.
But before Daemon could finish—
Something unexpected happened with Naruto and Kaguya!
Naruto, enraged to the extreme and nearly broken by Kaguya’s repeated resurrections, raised his hand, creating two massive Six Paths Rasenshuriken, hurling them at the reviving Kaguya.
Seeing this, the eight Tailed Beasts, previously collapsed on the ground, scrambled to their feet, scattering to flee.
They had to escape!
Those two terrifying Six Paths Rasengan would hit, and all life within tens of thousands of meters would be caught and killed accidentally.
They were just weak, pitiful Tailed Beasts!
How could they withstand a lethal attack from Six Paths Naruto?
If caught, nearly all would be shattered to pieces.
Unlike Kaguya, their death meant a long revival period—years to decades—too terrifying.
Clearly, Six Paths Naruto, driven mad by killing, was obsessed with killing Kaguya, heedless of other Tailed Beasts’ lives or onlookers.
Sadly, no matter how fast the eight Tailed Beasts were, they couldn’t instantly flee tens of thousands of meters—equivalent to 25 laps around a track.
Even if they escaped that far, it didn’t mean they’d avoid the blast’s impact, only shifting from the death zone to the severe injury zone.
And Eida had no time to flee.
Daemon could only lunge at his sister, preparing to take the damage himself.
Though his Divine Technique could reflect damage, it couldn’t reflect the natural shockwaves and high temperatures post-explosion, which could threaten his sister’s safety.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Meanwhile, on Naruto’s side—
The two deathly Six Paths Rasengan shot forward instantly, but just before hitting Kaguya and exploding—
WHOOSH!
A golden flash appeared, and the two deadly Rasengan vanished.
BOOMMMMMM!
Hundreds of kilometers away, a massive explosion lit up, eclipsing the sunrise, slowly forming a colossal, deadly mushroom cloud.
What happened?
Was that a familiar figure flashing by?
Six Paths Naruto looked at the distant explosion, then at Kaguya’s reviving remains nearby. He suddenly noticed a kunai left on the ground, unnoticed until now.
In an instant, the golden flash reappeared.
Minato from Parallel World 4, with his Flying Thunder God mark, returned.
"Here?"
Minato was slightly confused, teleported by Lux to this place.
Upon landing, he saw two deadly Rasengan approaching!
A deathly crisis erupted in his heart, and he reacted instinctively, teleporting with the two Rasengan to an uninhabited area a hundred kilometers away.
No matter how much time passed or whether it was his dimension, the Flying Thunder God marks he’d placed outside Konoha could be used for teleportation.
Returning now, Minato grew more confused.
Through sensory detection, most Flying Thunder God marks around him matched the layout outside Konoha in his dimension.
But why was Konoha itself gone?
Only a massive, scorched crater remained?
’Where was I brought? Is this still Konoha?’
’Where’s the village? Where’s the Hokage Rock?’
’Why’s there nothing?’
Simultaneously, Minato recognized Six Paths Naruto nearby.
’My son! That’s definitely my son!’
Too easy to recognize!
Though middle-aged, the blonde hair and Kurama’s chakra aura were enough to confirm Naruto’s identity.
How could Minato, his father, mistake his own son?
But this felt strange!
This intense killing intent, this crazed appearance, this terrifying chakra pressure—was this still his cheerful, optimistic son?
Minato had never seen a ninja with such pure, insane killing intent in his life.
Even Obito back then paled in comparison.
Was this what Lux meant by Naruto suffering a bit?
How much pain was this?
"Naruto, I—"
Minato hurriedly called out, trying to stop the crazed Naruto.
He could see that if his son kept rampaging, he might truly lose his sanity and go mad.
"I’m your father!"
The brutal Six Paths Naruto roared, his killing intent boiling over again.
He recognized Minato, of course, but he didn’t believe the Minato before him was real.
His father died years ago—how could he suddenly be alive?
This must be a genjutsu created by Kaguya’s allies! It’s fake! Not his father at all!
No choice.
You couldn’t expect an enraged Naruto, having lost most of his sanity, to maintain calm, complete judgment.
Like raging in a game, cursing teammates, and killing NPCs recklessly!
The brutal Naruto now was far scarier than mere anger.
And so—
Naruto, in a fury, attacked, vanishing from his spot, charging straight at Minato.
Minato’s pupils contracted.
’Good grief, you’re hitting your own father?!!!’
’And so decisively and ruthlessly?!!!’
Simultaneously, Minato was shocked by Naruto’s terrifying speed, rivaling Isshiki’s, so fast he could barely react.
Sukunahikona!
Minato activated his Black Eye dōjutsu, shrinking himself to near-invisibility, narrowly dodging Naruto’s strike.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
The shrunken Minato waved his hand, dozens of black rods replacing kunai, engraved with Flying Thunder God marks, scattering in all directions, landing within a thousand-meter radius.
Forming Minato’s unique Flying Thunder God teleportation array.
Hundreds of tiny, invisible black rods also spread around, all bearing Flying Thunder God marks, enough for Minato to teleport and dodge limitlessly in this area.
His Flying Thunder God Technique and Black Eye dōjutsu had grown increasingly refined, nearly unbreakable.
’He can shrink? Isshiki’s Black Eye?’
’This guy isn’t my father—it’s definitely that evil Isshiki transformed!’
’Aaaa! That cursed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki isn’t dead yet!’
’Kill, kill them all!’
Seeing Minato use Isshiki’s Black Eye dōjutsu, the enraged, single-minded Six Paths Naruto didn’t bother to assess carefully, instantly assuming Minato was a variant of Isshiki.
He activated an even crazier killing mode, attacking Minato heedless of the cost.
The furious Naruto now only wanted to kill everything before him! Destroy everything!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
On the other side—
Since Minato teleported Naruto’s deadly Rasengan away, the eight Tailed Beasts, Eida, and Daemon were spared injury.
At the same time, Lux appeared beside Eida and Daemon with Kushina.
"Lord, where’s this?"
Kushina saw the massive ruins around her, slightly stunned.
"32 years later, the ruins of Konoha."
"What?!!!"
Kushina was shocked, her face confused.
"32 years later? So Naruto’s long grown up? Who’d he marry? Oh, are my grandchildren here? Can I meet them? Wait... this is Konoha? Where’s the village? Good grief?!!!"
Kushina was dizzy from the flood of shocking information.
Her heart was thrilled at meeting her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren in the future, but she was also stunned by the bad news of Konoha’s destruction.
What happened in the future?
Amid her confusion, Kushina quickly noticed the battle in the distance, where her husband Minato was fighting.
"Who’s Minato fighting?"
"That’s Kurama’s chakra aura? That form..."
"It’s Naruto!!!"
Though Kushina had never seen the future Naruto and could barely see his form and speed in Six Paths mode, the mother-son blood bond and resonance as Kurama’s Jinchūriki made her certain it was her son! Uzumaki Naruto!
"Him."
"What’s wrong? Why’s future Naruto’s killing intent so intense? Why’s he fighting Minato? No, I have to stop them!"
Kushina panicked. Though she didn’t know what was happening or why Naruto was rampaging—
How could she let her husband and son keep fighting?
If either got hurt, her heart would ache!
She had to stop it, immediately!
But Lux stopped Kushina, saying calmly:
"Now’s not your time to go. Wait. Let Naruto vent a bit; once he calms down, then you meet."
Lux knew well.
Someone who’s lost sanity and gone mad can’t snap out instantly.
Humans aren’t programs, stoppable with one button.
Even programs take seconds to react when stopped.
Like Minato now—if Kushina approached, the brutal Six Paths Naruto would likely see her as a genjutsu, an enemy.
It wouldn’t persuade him at all.
Better let father and son, Minato and Naruto, ’communicate deeply,’ fight a bit, and vent.
Once Naruto was sure Minato wasn’t a genjutsu or impostor, and his rage lessened—
Then let Kushina step in with a ’mother’s loving touch’ for better effect.
And safer.
Since Lux brought Kushina and the others, safety still needed consideration.
"Alright..."
Kushina wasn’t a reckless troublemaker. She felt Naruto’s immense pain and insane killing intent.
Though her heart ached like it was stabbed and she worried, she understood what she needed to do.
She couldn’t even see Naruto and Minato’s fight; if she rashly approached and was accidentally killed by Naruto, it’d be over!
Naruto might plunge fully into darkness, unsalvageable.
Meanwhile, Eida and Daemon were shocked to see Lux and Kushina appear.
Listening to their conversation, Eida slowly guessed the beautiful red-haired ninja woman before her was Uzumaki Naruto’s mother?
And the one fighting Naruto in the distance was his father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato?
’Good grief, am I dreaming?’
’This Tenshou Sennin revived Naruto’s parents?’
’Can that really be done so easily?’
’Is he using parental love to stop and calm the crazed Naruto?’
’But can it work?’
Six Paths Naruto over there seemed truly mad, brutally attacking his own father?
He didn’t seem to recognize anyone!
"Lord? Is this for real?"
Eida mustered the courage to ask, deeply curious.
"Yes, she’s Naruto’s mother."
Lux didn’t deny it. Kushina wasn’t from this world, so Eida couldn’t see anything with her far sight anyway; it didn’t matter if she did.
"It’s true!"
Eida gasped. Suddenly, she felt the Ōtsutsuki and their ilk were utterly pathetic compared to this Tenshou Sennin!
"Hello! Who are you two?"
Kushina noticed Eida and Daemon, especially Eida’s captivating beauty, which easily drew attention.
Plus, her innate passive charm ability—Kushina wasn’t immune.
Instantly, Kushina felt a strong liking, even a slight love, for Eida.
"They’re Eida and Daemon, from Konoha’s side. Friends of Boruto and Kawaki, possibly half your grandchildren-in-law."
Lux joked casually. After all, Naruto’s adopted kids could be considered half his children, right?
"Oh?!!!"
Kushina grew excited, her eyes gleaming with gossip.
But now wasn’t the time to dig. Better wait until Naruto’s condition stabilized, then she’d indulge in this gossip!
