After the Third Hokage left, Minato Namikaze looked at his wife and asked with some confusion, "Kushina, why didn't you let me directly refuse the Third Hokage?"
That's right, Minato Namikaze had originally planned to refuse the Third Hokage from returning to his post, but he was interrupted by Kushina's message.
"Hmph, I just want you to go back and serve as Hokage, and then tell those bastards in Konoha Village that Uzumaki Naruto is the son of a hero, and Uzumaki Naruto is also the hero who saved Konoha Village!"
"I want those scoundrels who secretly curse, abuse, and bully Naruto to live in guilt for the rest of their lives!"
Seeing his wife's violent demeanor, Minato Namikaze felt a bit helpless.
"It seems I should let Kushina read fewer revenge-type web novels from now on!"
Previously, fearing that his wife would become fragile, Minato Namikaze stopped Kushina from reading BL novels.
Although she stopped reading BL, Kushina started reading revenge stories, palace intrigue, and dark novels.
If it were the old Kushina, she would never have thought of letting Minato Namikaze go back to being Hokage and then revealing Naruto's identity to make all the villagers feel guilty.
She would only use violence to prevent Minato Namikaze from being that damn Hokage, and she wouldn't let him deal with Konoha's mess; she'd just let Konoha fend for itself!
"Alas, novels are truly harmful."
"Perhaps I should let Kushina read some light-hearted novels instead."
On the other side.
Naruto smiled when he saw the Third Hokage finally regain consciousness.
"Grandpa Third Hokage... How was your talk with my mom and them? Was it pleasant?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: ...
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to speak, he felt a sudden dizziness and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Naruto quickly helped him up.
At this moment, the Third Hokage was like Kakashi in the original story, who was caught in Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
However, Kakashi was stabbed with a small knife by Itachi in the genjutsu space.
The Third Hokage, on the other hand, was furiously pummeled by Kushina's fist, which was imbued with Armament Haki.
Both caused significant mental damage.
"Grandpa Third Hokage, are you alright? Were you too excited to see my parents?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: ...
"I... I'm fine, just a little anemic! I'll be fine after some rest!"
As he spoke, the Third Hokage stood firm on his own and continued, "Naruto, I'll go back first, you—"
The Third Hokage originally wanted to say, "Your father told me when he was resurrected," but after thinking about it, he gave up.
And so, the Third Hokage wobbled away from there.
Naruto, of course, knew about the Third Hokage's predicament; to be precise, it was all part of his design.
To have his parents and the Third Hokage complete their 'Ora-Ora' meeting, thus solidifying his father's identity as the Kage of the Pot.
Now, Konoha's two major figures, the Third Hokage and Danzo, both knew of Minato Namikaze's existence.
Any illogical actions Naruto took from now on could be attributed to Minato Namikaze.
Land of Rice Fields.
Orochimaru finally returned to his base in the Land of Rice Fields.
Although Orochimaru had a base here, the so-called Otogakure had not yet been established.
Upon returning to the base, Orochimaru immediately took out the Akatsuki Organization's ring and began contacting his good partner, Sasori, through it.
Sasori, who was on his way to Rain Ninja Village, received Orochimaru's message, and his already unpleasant mood became even worse.
"Orochimaru, where are you?"
"Hehehe..." Hearing Sasori's question, Orochimaru chuckled and said, "What? Lord Sasori, are you missing me already?"
"Hmph," Sasori snorted, "If your personal mission is complete, don't just sit around; continue with the organization's tasks! Don't forget, you are a full member!"
"Don't worry! I haven't forgotten, but what about you... how many missions have you completed?"
Hearing Orochimaru's question, Sasori did not answer but directly cut off the communication.
For some reason, Orochimaru always felt like Sasori was throwing a tantrum...
Orochimaru placed all the virtual helmets Naruto had given him into the base's secret warehouse, then went outside the base, took out a rocket launcher, and fired one into the sky.
After launching the satellite, Orochimaru took out a virtual helmet and began testing if it could connect to the internet.
"Oh! It really connects!"
As he spoke, Orochimaru entered the virtual game and quickly became engrossed in it.
As for going to Rain Ninja Village to meet Sasori and do missions, what could be more interesting than games!
Sasori didn't know that he was about to be stood up again.
At this moment, he had already arrived at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain.
Just as he was about to continue forward, a light screen prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"[Esteemed Lord Sasori, if you continue forward, you will enter a no-signal zone. Please use a signal receiver!]"
Seeing this prompt, Sasori also recalled that Naruto seemed to have told him that if he appeared in a place without a signal, his body would instantly become paralyzed.
Thinking of this, Sasori took out several thumb-sized signal receiving devices and buried them in a secluded spot.
Once the signal receiving devices were buried, the light screen that had been hanging before his eyes disappeared.
"Damn it... Why does that guy Uzumaki Naruto have such good technology?"
Just as he was about to step into the border of the Land of Rain, he noticed someone was watching him.
He turned his head and saw a smiling young man looking in his direction.
The detectors in his eyes quickly provided a combat power analysis of the young man.
"[Combat Power: 1050.]"
"One thousand fifty, huh? It seems like a strong individual who just entered the Kage level."
"I didn't expect such a strong person to be at the border of the Land of Fire."
After muttering to himself, Sasori crossed the border of the Land of Fire and walked towards the Land of Rain.
Uchiha Shisui, not far away, watched Sasori's retreating figure and thought, "He seems to be a strong one too! I just don't know which Village he's from!"
"
