[Minato Namikaze spoke hurriedly after seeing the mother and son make their decision.]
[Split into two, sealed?]
[Reaper Death Seal...]
[Naruto's expression changed slightly.]
[So that's how it is; no wonder the Great Fox looks like it's ready to fight for its life every time it sees him.]
[Inside the Sealing Space, the Great Fox's eye twitched violently.]
[But it quickly suppressed its anger.]
[It had already felt the shift in Naruto's emotions.]
[This kid is definitely thinking:]
[No wonder he's so hostile toward the Eternal Belt Sister.]
[No wonder he's been so tight-lipped about this matter.]
[So it turns out...]
[Thinking of this, the Great Fox got even angrier.]
["If the information is correct, the Reaper Death Seal is a Forbidden Jutsu, a Sealing Jutsu... or could it be said to be a summoning ritual of the Uzumaki Clan?"]
[Naruto frowned.]
[Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up.]
[He's finally acknowledging me!]
[Immediately, he said hurriedly:]
["Back when I was still the Hokage, I consulted a lot of materials... those materials indeed held many suspicions."]
[Taking a deep breath and sorting out the relationships, Minato Namikaze immediately got to the point.]
["The Reaper Death Seal can indeed be considered a type of summoning ritual."]
["Or rather, it could be said that many of the Uzumaki Clan's abilities originate from sacrificial rituals."]
["Many souls have been swallowed into the belly of the Shinigami through the Reaper Death Seal."]
["But there has never been a precedent for one coming back out."]
["Perhaps it's because it wasn't complete enough."]
["During that time, I researched it with your mother."]
["Although it's not certain, since the Shinigami involves a trade, we can't rule out the possibility of trading with the Shinigami again, using a soul to exchange for the souls it has swallowed."]
["It's just... hard to determine if a soul swallowed by the Shinigami will disappear because of it."]
["..."]
[Minato Namikaze said a lot; once he started, it was like he couldn't stop.]
[Naruto and Kushina didn't interrupt him.]
[This matter was very important.]
[If successful, the Great Fox would return to its original form.]
[Half of the Great Fox was already this powerful, so how strong would a complete Great Fox be?]
[Moreover, if Naruto's guess was correct...]
[When Minato Namikaze split the Great Fox in two back then, it wasn't a simple split.]
[It was likely two different types of Chakra.]
[And Minato Namikaze soon confirmed Naruto's thoughts.]
["When the Nine-Tailed was split in two back then, the Yin Chakra was separated out."]
["If the Nine-Tailed can be made whole again... one plus one will be greater than two."]
[After Minato Namikaze finished speaking...]
[Kushina then said, "The Reaper Death Seal is indeed not a simple Ninjutsu."]
["Rather, it's a Ninjutsu derived from a sacrificial summoning of the Shinigami; in reality, it's not considered complete."]
["If performed as a complete sacrificial ritual, the drawback of the caster offering their own soul to the Shinigami would disappear."]
["But a soul must still be paid; that is what a sacrifice is."]
["Ordinary people can use it too, but it's too cumbersome. Later, it evolved to just using Chakra, but for the caster, it's certain death."]
[Naruto nodded.]
[However, a thought flashed through his mind.]
['Shinigami?']
['Sacrifice... a new power, usable by ordinary people...']
['Not purely the power of Chakra.']
['Since it's a sacrifice... a Shinigami? No, it's impossible for there to be only a Shinigami. Besides that, there should be quite a few other sacrificial gods?']
[Naruto's brow twitched.]
[Something seems a bit off.]
[The power of the Chakra system is the mainstream in the Ninja World.]
[But the Uzumaki Clan doesn't seem to be like that.]
[Including the information about the Uzumaki Clan that Naruto currently understands.]
[Adamantine Sealing Chains, Kaguras Minds Eye, and so on.]
[They don't seem to belong to a Bloodline Limit or a Kekkei Tōta.]
[The sage body: Senju and Uzumaki.]
[The Sage Eyes: Uchiha and Hyuga.]
[The sage body has no Bloodline Limit, while the Sage Eyes do.]
[Other Ninja Clans are also famous for their Bloodline Limits.]
['Hmm... it's about time to find Sasuke and Hinata.']
['Sasuke... the whispers... I don't know the situation, but I should still be cautious. Otherwise, if I absorb the whispers in Sasuke's mind, Sasuke might turn into an idiot.']
['However, with the New Shinobi Sect, I can receive feedback, which is much safer.']
['All Creation... Ashura plus Indra equals the Six Paths Sage.']
['Then... what if I add Hyuga and Uzumaki on top of that?']
['It would infinitely approach the abilities possessed by the true Six Paths Sage...']
['No wonder Chakra became the mainstream power system in the Ninja World.']
[Naruto didn't block these thoughts from the Great Fox.]
[The Great Fox's eyes flickered at first, its thoughts unknown.]
[It just quietly listened to Naruto analyzing sacrifices... that is, another power system besides Chakra.]
[But when Naruto thought about gathering the Chakra of the sage body and the Sage Eyes...]
[The Great Fox couldn't sit still.]
[This is no joke!]
["Naruto!"]
[Inside the Sealing Space, the Great Fox's face was full of solemnity.]
["I'm here," Naruto replied.]
["Don't try it lightly!"]
["Your idea can indeed be realized... the Chakra fed back, if it carries a Bloodline Limit or a Kekkei Tōta..."]
["To put it simply."]
["From the moment we upgraded the School based on its foundation and succeeded."]
["That... Copy Ninja title should change hands."]
["The Sharingan can only copy movements, Chakra flow, Ninjutsu, and the like."]
["We can even copy Bloodline Limits and Kekkei Tōta!"]
["But for now, absolutely do not lightly try to..."]
["Great Fox," Naruto suddenly interrupted the Great Fox.]
[The Great Fox also quieted down.]
["This change of subject is too obvious."]
["But since you don't want me to continue looking into the matter of sacrifices, then I won't."]
["Hmph!"]
["Did This Fox do that?"]
[Having its intentions seen through, the Great Fox naturally wouldn't admit it.]
[Naruto shook his head with a smile and said no more.]
[The real world.]
[Minato Namikaze walked toward Naruto.]
[At some point, several scrolls had appeared in his hands.]
["Since you've already decided, Naruto, then we won't say much more."]
["To rebuild the Land of Whirlpools... you must have thought about it a lot."]
["For this trip to the Land of Whirlpools, let Mom and Dad go."]
[Hearing this, Kushina glanced at him and said nothing.]
["This is the training scroll for the Flying Thunder God."]
["And quite a few training insights I left behind back then."]
["Don't worry about other things... do whatever you want to do."]
["Mom and Dad will always support you."]
[Kushina glanced at Minato Namikaze again.]
[Still saying nothing, but her face was no longer expressionless.]
[Seeing Naruto take the scrolls.]
[Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.]
[At least... this... isn't too late.]
