"Indeed, this really works!"
Hirito looked at the mission progress in front of him, once again confirming his plan.
As long as all dangerous elements around Kushina were eliminated, Kushina could live.
Even if he died, as long as Kushina was alive, his mission would be complete.
However, at present, the issue with the little sun was only half-solved; he still needed to prevent him from developing feelings for Kushina.
Then, Tsunade on the other side also needed to be dealt with.
You see, Tsunade was Konoha's top medical Ninja.
If there had been a medical Ninja by Kushina's side at that time, she wouldn't have been so weak, leading to her eventual death.
So, I absolutely cannot let this medical Ninja escape!
...[You finalized your plan and successfully persuaded your older brother, Uchiha Fugaku. He agreed to let the blond boy live in the Uchiha Clan, but stated that the matter of nurturing the blond boy still needed to be discussed with your father.]
[You gladly accepted Fugaku's suggestion and promptly met with your father, but your father's answer was a refusal. After all, this was an unprecedented case; the Uchiha had always been proud and would never allow outsiders to step into their territory. The fact that the Police Force had never allowed outsiders to interfere was sufficient proof.]
[However, the matter of Minato Namikaze concerned your main mission, so you were unwilling to give up easily.]
[You knew your father valued your talent greatly and hoped you could lead the Uchiha back to glory, so you successfully used this point to threaten your father.]
[Your father was furious, scolding you for being ignorant. You knew, but you didn't listen. Seeing that you were still shamelessly persistent, he was half-dead with anger and prepared to use family discipline on you.]
[But your brother Fugaku stopped him in time. Finally, unable to resist you, and under your eloquent persuasion, he eventually agreed to fund Minato Namikaze.]
[From then on, Minato Namikaze was completely branded with the Uchiha Clan's mark, becoming a product of the Uchiha, and began training with you.]
[During this period, you also acted as his little teacher. Although he was initially a bit reserved, as the two of you became more familiar, Minato Namikaze gradually became more cheerful.]
[You mutually encouraged and improved each other, often sparring together, but you would win every time. Minato Namikaze was not discouraged, always making up for his shortcomings in each spar.]
[Time flew by, and soon it was time for you to enter the Ninja Academy.]
[During this period, you experienced another mental stimulus, successfully advancing your two tomoe to three tomoe, setting a record as the earliest Uchiha genius to awaken the three tomoe.]
[Of course, Minato Namikaze's strength also greatly improved. He originally had outstanding talent, but due to his commoner status and lack of family training, his growth was slow. However, with your help, he had already reached a level close to Chunin early on.]
[It can be said that your entry into the Ninja Academy was completely just a formality.]
Bang!
A wisp of smoke rose, and Minato, who had been kicked, suddenly turned into a wooden stake.
"Haha, I got him... Ah!"
Minato's triumphant voice came from the left, but before he could finish speaking, Hirito twisted his body and delivered a knee strike, instantly turning Minato into a doubled-over shrimp.
"Ugh!"
He clutched his stomach and dry-heaved, feeling his stomach churn. Hirito's strike nearly made him throw up his lunch.
"My foolish Minato, please feel this pain."
Hirito's voice suddenly boomed in his ear. Hearing those familiar words, Minato was immediately triggered and quickly tried to turn his head and close his eyes.
But it was still too late; his gaze met Hirito's blood-red Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
"Oh no!"
Minato's pupils instantly widened.
The next moment,
Thud—
As if electrocuted, Minato stiffened instantly, stood at attention, rolled his eyes, and fell straight down.
"Sorry, Minato, this is the last time."
Hirito emerged from the shadows, looked at Minato, who was sprawled on the ground in a baby-like sleep, and gently shook his head, a faint smile on his face.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the two of them to go to school.
Although the plot progressed quickly because of the simulator, Hirito retained all the memories.
Whether it was the family affection with his relatives or the bromance with Minato... that was just his daily sparring training with his good friend, Minato Namikaze.
The result, of course, was that Hirito won again.
After all, Minato's strength was only close to Chunin level, while Hirito had already awakened his three tomoe.
You should know that every Uchiha who awakens the three tomoe is assumed to have Jonin level strength.
Not to mention a genius Uchiha like Hirito, whose strength far exceeded that of ordinary Jonin.
"By my calculations, the Land of Whirlpools should have been destroyed by now, and Kushina is already living with Tsunade and the others in the Senju ancestral land."
Next, her life in Konoha Village will be constantly monitored by the Anbu until she inherits Uzumaki Mito's Nine-Tailed and becomes the new Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.
However, before that, if nothing unexpected happens, she should first come to the Ninja Academy to study.
I believe I will see her soon.
"Hmm..."
Minato broke free from the genjutsu and woke up.
He clutched his throbbing head, stumbled to his feet, and gave his companion a resentful look.
"I say, Hirito, can you change the content of this genjutsu for me?"
"I'm really having a stress disorder because of those two things. Now, whenever I see red hair and a fox, I break out in a cold sweat and my limbs go weak."
"But the content of my genjutsu is different every time," Hirito casually glanced at him, stating righteously.
Ever since the two of them started sparring as children, Hirito would suddenly hit him with a Sharingan genjutsu every time the battle was about to be decided.
He called it strengthening his mental resistance.
But it always involved two elements: a red-haired woman and a Nine-Tailed fox... tormenting him in various ways, causing Minato Namikaze's most hated color to change from blue to red.
Speaking of which, it's infuriating!
"Yes, the plot in your genjutsu keeps changing, but its core has never changed!"
Minato said with a wronged expression:
"No matter what I experience in there, in the end, a Nine-Tailed fox always appears, begging me to seal it, and a red-haired woman, covered in blood, telling me I killed her..."
The little sun had never seen such a scene. He was, after all, still a child.
His mind was not yet mature, and suddenly being entangled by these two big things, his daily nightmares now consisted of foxes and red-haired women.
He even started to reflect on himself, wondering if he had killed them in a previous life, which was why they kept haunting him and wouldn't let go.
Looking at the little sun, who looked like he was about to cry, Hirito hesitated for a moment, then silently turned his head away.
Out of sight, out of mind...
"Hey, don't stop talking!" Minato became anxious.
Hirito reluctantly appeased him: "Alright, alright, I won't let them out anymore."
Anyway, you'll see the red-haired girl tomorrow, so I don't need to work hard to brainwash you with my Sharingan every day.
Minato was surprised and delighted: "Really?"
"Really."
Hirito nodded, looking at his happy expression, and was already looking forward to seeing Kushina tomorrow.
I hope this guy didn't lie to me and really has a stress disorder when it comes to red hair, as he said.
Otherwise, Hirito couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't personally give him a stress disorder.
"Minato, don't blame me, this is all for your own good..."
After all, if you follow the original story, Kushina is doomed.
So, for my mission to be completed, I can only inconvenience you a little.
"What did you say again?"
Minato's ears twitched, as if he heard Hirito muttering softly.
"Nothing." Hirito shook his head, and after two seconds of silence, said meaningfully:
"I just hope you look forward to tomorrow."
