  Speaker 1: Minoto and Kushina's sacrifice was one of those events that
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: set the tone of the Naruto series. Much of Naruto's
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: story revolves around loneliness and its effects on people. Naruto
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: as a story could and would not have been the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: same without their sacrifice, And sometimes I wonder if it
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: was exactly needed at that moment, Like I've seen worse
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: off Jincheroke than Kushina survive having their tailed beast put
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: back in, and I question why it needed to be
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the Reaper death seal of all things that Minoito used,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: But all the same, if Kushina and Minotto hadn't died,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the series would have been very different. But still my
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: heart bleeds for them. They thought they would never get
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to see who Naruto grew into, and while they kind
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of did in some weird magic chakra byes way, they
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: never got to experience what kind of life he lived.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So I want to do a video about something like that.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I want to do a video where Minoito gets to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: revive and see what kind of life Naruto will live.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Amagi. Only twenty five percent of our
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: viewers are subscribed, so if you're a fan of the video,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: please like in double check if you are subscribed.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: And with that out of the way, let's get into
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the video.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: There he was floating in darkness, the blackness of the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: shinagami stomach, the place where he would spend untold centuries
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: or perhaps eternity. There were none that he could see
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: around him, and his only companion in the world was
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the nine tails, and given that he was his only
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: companion as well, all they had was each other. The
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: two weren't getting along that well, but honestly that was okay.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: They had eternity to get to know each other, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: considering that one was the other's only companion, there was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: at least some solace in that all they could do
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: was spend time with each other, and that desperation led
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to them becoming at least acquainted. It didn't hurt that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Mineto apparently took the non confrontational half for himself. As
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: much as he loved the ease of befriending this Kurama,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: he wished he could just take it all back and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: get the other half instead. Not because he didn't love Yin.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: He just knew that Yang was going to cause his
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: son no end of troubles as Minoto hovered in that darkness,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: staring off into infinity, as though he were eternally floating
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on a sea of nothingness. He couldn't help but think
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of his family, who he would never see again. Kushina Naruto.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: He never got the opportunity to see the kind of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: man he would become. Frankly, that was the most tragic thing.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: He had been so excited. From the day Kashina told
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: him about Naruto's conception to the day of his birth.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Minato had been looking forward to seeing Naruto and experiencing
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: all those things that fathers and sons did. He was
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: looking forward to bonding with him, and now that chance
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: was gone. It made him extraordinarily sad thinking on all
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the things he was missing out on. Tears unintentionally began
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to rise to his eyes and run from his cheek.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: What's wrong, Yin asked within him. Oh, it's nothing. I'm
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: just thinking of everything I'm missing right now Kushina Naruto.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Well maybe you now feel a little bit of what
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I've felt through the years, the beast said in an
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: antagonistic way. Being sealed inside the Shinagami. Is nothing new.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It's no different to me than what I experienced before
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the only difference is that now I know there's no
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: hope of escape. Honestly, Minoto began to feel bad about it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Did you have a family too, or loved ones you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: left behind? No, of course not. I don't even think
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: tailed beasts are capable of reproducing, at least I haven't.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And I've also never bonded well with humans. So the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: only thing I'm missing from before I was sealed is
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: my own personal freedom. I suppose in that way, I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: can't understand why you would do what you did. Who
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: would voluntarily give up their freedom like that? Was it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to spite me, Yin asked. Minoto shook his head. No,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it was out of love for my village, for Kushina
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and Naruto. If I had to do it again, I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: would just for them. I guess I just can't understand that,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yin said, Well, I mean, we've got all the time
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in the world to talk about it, But I guess
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just sad because I won't get to watch Naruto
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: grow up. As silence passed for a moment longer, Minoito
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: suddenly felt as though he wasn't alone. As he looked
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he saw it the same shinigami he had summoned. How
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was it possible for the creature to be inside its
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: own stomach, He didn't know, but it was there. It
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: drifted closer to him and hovered just in front of him.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Minotto swallowed the shinnigami for the first time spoke to him.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You wish to see.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It, said, Minoto nodded. I want to see what my
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: son grows into, what his life will be like. The
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: shinigami was silent for a moment before speaking again. I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: can make this so, but only temporarily, it said, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: with rules. Minoto's interest was piqued, of course, he said,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: what are the rules? The shinnigami spoke.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: You may not tell anyone that you are minat Namikazi,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and you may not do anything that will in some
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: way compromise the seal you placed on yourself. This is
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: not a chance for escape.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: This is a chance to see what your life brought,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: which is only fair in my eyes. And once you've
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: adequately ex experience the situation, I will return you to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: this place a short reprieve and.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: A chance to build memories to keep you sane. Do
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you understand these terms and conditions?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Minoto?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Nodded. The shinigami extended its hand. Minotto took this hand
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and shook it. The Shinigami's eternal smile widened ever so slightly.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Good your name will be Gary you, for you are
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: but a sojourner in a land that is no longer
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: your home. Suddenly, from the black darkness below them, a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: brilliant white light shone up, changing the color of the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: very eternity around them. A moment later, a hand shot
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: up from the dirt. Minatou began to pull himself out.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: With a gasp, he took in the first true breath
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of oxygen since he perished. His form was different than
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: what he had prior. He didn't look like himself, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: seemed as though his body was entirely new. His hair
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was no longer golden, but a more natural brown, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: his face was not his own, being about the same
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: age as an academy student. He pulled himself free from
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the ground, crawling out on his hands and knees. He
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: looked back at the hole he had pulled himself from
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and saw that it was not deep, a shallow indentation,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: perfectly shaped like a human from the dirt, A new
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: body had formed to give him a new chance to live.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Standing up, he recognized his apparent lack of vesture and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: knew that this must be the first issue he solved.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: The spiritual trauma of having been ripped from the ether
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and stuffed into a new body left his mind a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: bit groggy, but he remembered the name he was supposed
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to have, Kiri You, and so, upon taking to a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: tree top and looking out over the vastness of nature,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: he noticed in the distance a village, his village, Kodoha.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: That was the direction in which he would head. It
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: was nighttime, and so sneaking into the village wouldn't be
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: so hard. Finding a clothesline, he took from it an
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: outfit that seemed to fit, and took for himself a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: set of shoes. He didn't have anything to offer the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: kind people who he had just robbed, so the best
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he could do was leave a note for them, thanking them,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: explaining that he was homeless and needed a new set
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of clothes, apologizing for the theft, and thanking them for
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the opportunity. From here, he wandered around the village had
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: certainly changed in the years since he'd last been here,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: having rebuilt. All the same, the Hokage's monument had yet
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to be changed, meaning either they stopped etching Nukage into
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the monument or Herozin had taken his place. Either way,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Minato continued moving. A part of him began to question
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: how am I ever going to find Naruto. It was
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: then that the voice of Yin, who apparently was still
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: inside of him, spoke, don't forget Yang is in him.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I can possibly locate Naruto through him. From this, Yin
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: led Minato deeper into the village, giving him instructions on
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: which way to turn like a GPS. Eventually, they stopped
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in front of an apartment building. He's in there somewhere,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Yin said. Minato stood there silently, looking back at a building.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: He decided to scale it and wait out the night.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: He wanted to see his son for himself, so they
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: waited for the rest of the night until the sun rose.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: All the while, Minato spoke on the situation. I don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: understand the Shinigami's decision. Does it do this commonly or
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is this a special case? And if it's a special case,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: then for what reason did it choose me of all people?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know Minato, Yin said, maybe it respects you.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Your decision to utilize the Reaper death seal was one
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you made it of selfless intent, a hard decision, a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: hard decision that saw you choosing to sacrifice your family
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: life to protect others. Maybe that's why the shinagami took
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: pity on you and gave you a chance. Minato questioned
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: it and nodded. Perhaps. As the orange light came over
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the rooftops, the sun rising from the horizon, the village
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: began to wake. It had been quite some time since
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Minato had been in a mortal body. He began to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: have urges he hadn't felt in years, like the urge
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to eat, and currently even greater, the urge to sleep.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Minoto's eyes began to drift, as his mind had since
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: forgotten how to command it to stay awake. It was
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: only when Yin Kodama spiritually slapped him awake did Minato
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: come back to the land of awareness. Huh, he's here, Moron,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Kodama said. Minato looked over the side of the building
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to see a boy standing at the exit, wearing a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: set of shorts and a baggy white shirt depicting the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: will of fire on the front and on each of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the sleeves. Minato's eyes sparkled as he looked on. He
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: looks just like me, he said, his words hitching in
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: his throat. You're not gonna cry, are you, Yin asked
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: with a smirk. I'll let you know when I decide,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Minato said, jumping down to the ground. He followed Naruto
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: on foot to see him enter the academy. Minato looked
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: around and proceeded to make his way to the Hokag's office.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Upon admittance, he remained silent to see heroes in there.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: It had been so long since he'd seen his old friend.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: The silence drew Hearson's attention. Do you need something? Minato nodded, yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I wanted to sign up for the Ninja Academy, he said.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I'm new to this village, and since I've got nowhere
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to go, I was thinking maybe the best way for
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: me to survive is to help in any way I can.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Here isn't looked up. You're new here, welcome. Where are
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: your parents?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Though I don't have any, sir, Minato said, Technically this
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: was true. This was a fresh body formed of dirt
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that woke up only the night before. Technically he didn't
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: have a mom or dad, So you're by yourself. How unfortunate.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Give me a second. Here is In stood and walked
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to a cabinet and opened it. He began to pull
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: out papers. Sitting back at his desk, he began to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: write on them quietly. What is your name? Here Isn't asked,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: uh Mineto almost slipped up and said his real name,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: but then he remembered the name the Shinegami gave him.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: It's Kiriyu, spelled with the kanji for tree and dragon.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: He asked, No, sir, it's kanji means to sojourn ah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So we're working with aliases, here Isn't said as he
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: wrote it down. No, sir, he said, nearly falling to panic.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: This was the name given to me by the person
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: who brought me into this world. His words were technically
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: correct all the same. Here Isn't looked at him out
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of the corner of his eye, as if to say
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: he didn't believe him. Whether it's an alias or not
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: makes no difference. If that's the name you want to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: go with here, then that's what we'll do. Aren't you afraid?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I could be a spy or something. Minoto asked, here
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: isn't looked over his glasses. Are you a spy? Minato
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: shook his head, heresen nodded. Then, no issue. Minto would
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: be given a room number in one of the disenfranchised
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: children housing partnered apartment buildings, where he would be told
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to give them that slip of paper. Upon entering. He
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: then spoke, you've also been signed up for the academy.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I believe they have only freshly started their day. If
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you'd like I could introduce you. Minato smiled and nodded.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I would be very grateful. He said, he is in,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: would walk with him to the classroom, offering a knock
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: at the door. Erica would open up and greet he
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: is in.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Third, to what do we owe the honor? We have
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a new student today who wishes to join your class.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Will this be a problem? Erica shook his head, No
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: problem at all. He may come in and introduce himself
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and I'll get him a seat. He isn't smiled. I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: trust you'll make him feel at home.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I'll be off.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Then here is in then left. Minato stood there as
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Erica invited him in. It had been years since he
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: had done something like this, and he was interested in
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: re experiencing everything from the past. Entering the room, he
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: stood before the masses of kids, some of which he
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: could recognize due to knowing their parents. Erica grabbed the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: class's attention. Everyone eyes up as they focused on Erica.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: He spoke, we've got a new student joining us today.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: He looked at Minato. Feel free to introduce yourself. My
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: name is Kiriu, he said Robo Dragon. One of the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: students shouted out, that's one possible translation of the name.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Erica said, good job, butch. However, Kiriu's name here is
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: more translated like one who journeys or does a passer by.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Minato offered a bow of greeting. Erica moved back to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the blackboard. You're free to find a place to sit, Kierriou,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: he said. Minato nodded. Immediately, his eyes searched for Naruto.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: When he saw him, he was both grateful and saddened
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: as he saw the other side of the desk was empty.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Well time to change that, Minato thought to himself. Making
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: his way up the stairs, he came to Naruto's desk.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Standing by it, he spoke, excuse me, Naruto turned to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: look at him. Minato put on as kind of a smile.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Is humanly possible? Is this seat taken? Would you mind
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: if I sit here? Naruto shrugged. It's a free land.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Minaito slid into the seat and sat beside Naruto. It's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a pleasure to meet you. I'm ciriou. Minaito extended his
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: hand to Naruto. Naruto ignored it and began to look
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: out the window. Minaito withdrew his hand from the awkward
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: air between them and began to silently focus on the class.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: His mind was everywhere but the lessons. Though all things considered,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Minato already knew everything being taught here, so there was
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: no incentive to really pay attention save for staying aware
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: for Naruto's sake. The silence was deafening between them, but
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Minato wouldn't give up. As lunchtime rolled around and Minito
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: got some lunch, he looked for Naruto's table. Once more,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Naruto was by himself. Minaito walked over. Mind if I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: join you? Naruto looked up at him with confusion and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: shrugged again. Minoito sat down in front of Naruto and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: began to eat. So tell me about yourself Naruto looked
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: at Minato with a questioning glance. You know, let's talk
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: about ourselves. I want to get to know you, he said,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Why because I want to be your friend. Naruto, finishing
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: off his food, stuffed the remains of his sandwich in
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: his mouth and stood before walking away. Minato was confused.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Had it been something he said?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Tough?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Luck Yin said from within, turns out your son's an ass.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: He's just probably not used to it. Give him time
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to warm up. Just make sure you're being smart, Minato
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Kurama said. After lunch, class continued, and as they began
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to leave the academy for the day, Minato waited outside
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: for Naruto. When Naruto eventually appeared, Minato approached him. When
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: he did, he spoke, Hi, what's you up to?
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: He asked?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Going home?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Was Naruto's only response. Can I join you? He asked.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Naruto stopped and looked at Minato. What's your deal? Naruto asked,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: got a crush on.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Me or something? Leave me alone?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: No, I just I'm new here and I just kind
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: of wanted to make some friends. Well, go be friends
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: with someone else, Naruto said as he walked away, as
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Minto watched him go Ian said from within ouch burn.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe the Shinagami is a crueler spirit than I gave
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it credit for, because this is just sad. You almost
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: sound like you're enjoying it. Minoto said, well, maybe a little. Look,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: we may be stuck together for eternity and getting along
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in all that jazz, but that doesn't mean I don't
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: still hold a grudge against you. A silence passed before
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Kudama spoke again. Look, you said you wanted to see
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: your son and how he grows up. Well, now you
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: are the Shinigami. Never said it would be a magical experience.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: You wanted to see it. Now you are, and you'll
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: have to be the one to live with it all.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I know that, but frankly, I'm at least a little surprised,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you know, Minoto said, I kind of hope Naruto might
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: want to be friends with me, maybe that we might
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: be able to have that father son relationship with both
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: missed out on and will continue to miss out on
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: even if he becomes your friend. That doesn't mean you
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: can spill your guts about who you are. First off,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: he'd never believe you, and second, that would be violating
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the Shinigami's rules, and see you immediately pulled back into limbo.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: What you're doing now, namakazi is pretty much the only
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: thing you can do, And so, without anything else to say,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Minato went to his new apart building, showing the papers
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: he got to enter the room that was given to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: him to find it fully furnished and even stocked with
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: some food for a start. Beyond this, there was an
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: envelope on the table that, upon opening, revealed to Minato
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the first installment of his monthly allowance. Wow, kids sure
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: do have it easy these days, Kudama said, looking at
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: all those zeros. Not really, this is the standard program
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that's been effect ever since the first hokage. We don't
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: have a proper orphanage system because such a thing often
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: leads to events that we can't control. We don't know
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: who will adopt them or what they might do, so
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the better answer is to simply leave the kids alone
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: defend for themselves. Even if you do pay them. Kids
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: are irresponsible, who's gonna discipline them? Honestly, you make a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: good point, Minato said, But it's just the way it's
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: always been. Wars used to pop up yearly, and you
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: never do when someone might die. I think it was
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: in order to spare the children losing parents again. Then
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: why didn't you just say so? He and said Minoito
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: looked at the check A note within said that this
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: came with a starter bonus to help Minato get some
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: clothes that would fit. And so that's what Minoto did.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: He went out out and got himself some clothes for
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: going out and a couple cents a lounge wear. He
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: then began his first night by himself. He had to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: admit that it was strange to be in an apartment
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: by himself again. It had been years since you'd experienced this.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: It's weird sleeping alone, Minoto said, You're not sleeping alone, honey,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Yin said with a snicker. Minoto rolled his eyes. Serves
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: me right for thinking you'd understand. Not your therapist, kiddo.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I couldn't care less if you miss your mommy kind
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of think. It serves you right. Gives you just a
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: taste of what I've had to live through for one
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: hundred years. You can't imagine the kind of hell I've
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: been going through. The time you've spent in the Shinagami
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: with me is but a taste of the torture I've
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: been experiencing and will continue to experience thanks to you,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and you're precious village. I hate to admit this, Minatou,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: but you made the right call sealing me up, because
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: if I had been allowed to escape that day when
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Naruto was born, I'd have killed everyone. I hate him
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: that bad. At this point, the best I can do
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: is hope that the Shinagami's spell is broken at some point,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and when you pass on to the afterlife, I'll just
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: reform somewhere else and finally be free. Then I may
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: or may not cause some real carnage. Are you gonna
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: make me go get the mask and break it? Minato asked.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: The immediate shiver of terror was priceless. I forgive Konaha
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and all its people and will never retaliate. I'm a
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: good boy, Yin said. As Minato laid there, he felt
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the call of dreams beckoning him to sleep. However, before
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: he relented, he spoke, do you think there's any chance
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: we'll ever be able to befriend Naruto? Honestly, I don't know.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: He seems kind of ornery to me. My best advice
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: is to just give him space. Keep tabs on him, sure,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: but give him space and let him see if he's
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: really willing to befriend you instead of the other way around.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Could be that he's just been treated badly. That was honestly,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the one thing I wanted here is in not to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: let happen. Well, you trusted a human and got burned,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: seems relatable. Yin said, Just don't let it eat at you.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Even if he isn't your friend, doesn't mean he never
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: will be. And even if he isn't, at the very
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: least you got to see your son one last time.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: That should be some sort of consolation, right. Minato thought
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: about it. I guess that's right, and so during the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: next day at school, Minito gave Narietos space. He wouldn't
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: force himself to sit with Naruto. He was sitting near
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Naruto's tables, but was always away from it. Naruto didn't
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: seem to mind much. Eventually, graduation happened and Naruto got
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: left back. However, Naruto was informed that he got to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: take the test again. If he got it right, he
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: would be admitted to become a Shenobi. Minato would follow
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Naruto home.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: One day.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: The depressed boy was trying to think up some way
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to cheat to get what he wanted. He had been
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: told by Misaki that he could steal a scroll to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: teach him how to do it, but before he could
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: commit to the idea, there was a knock at his door.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Naruto opened it up to see Minato there. What are
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: you doing here, Kiiru, Naruto asked, sorry to disturb you.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I know you probably just wanted some space, but I
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: saw you had some trouble with your clone chooto today.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I wanted to help you get ready for the next try.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: What could you teach me, Naruto asked. Minato put his
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: hands together, and suddenly clones appeared before him. These clones
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: high fived each other with an audible slapping sound before
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: touching the door, offering some resistance. These clones are tangible.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: He questioned.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Minato nodded this. This is an advanced form of the clone jutsu.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: It's called the shadow clone jutsu and is by far
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: more impressive and useful than the other version. And the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: best part is it's not that much harder to perform.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I could teach it to you if you like, Minoto said.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: What's the catch? Naruto asked, Minaito shook his head. No catch,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: just a little knowledge shared between two fellow shinobi. Naruto
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: thought about it. Give me a second to get my shoes.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Naruto would go back inside and grab his shoes, and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: together he and Minetta would head out to the training area,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: where he would stand there ready to teach. From here,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: he'd begin to explain the process and point out the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: flaws in Naruto's usage. He told him that the reason
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: his clones weren't coming out right was because he wasn't
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: focusing enough. There weren't enough details given. It wasn't enough
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: just to make a clone. You had to carve out
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: its appearance personally. As an offshoot of the transformation jutsu,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: but instead of transforming your body into something else, you
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: were transforming chakra and thin air into something and you
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: had to know what it was you were creating to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: be able to make it work. For that purpose, Minito
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: pulled out a mirror. With this, you can get a
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: kind of idea for what you look like. Minato would
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: then use the shadow clone Chuuto to make a perfect
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: clone of himself. He then turned to Naruto, your turn.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Naruto would focus and try his best to make a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: clone of proper shape. Through his concentration, the fruits of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: his labor were born. A simple misunderstanding was all that
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: was holding him back. Naruto managed to make a healthy
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: shadow clone. Upon doing it, he jumped up and down
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in excitement, hugging Minato. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: he shouted. Minato laughed, no problem, but uh, when you
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: present this to Rika, I'd suggest that you mirror your
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: clone again. Currently all the things on your left side
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: are on the clone's right side. Don't actually mirror yourself.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Just know what goes where, and it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't be hard to make multiples of these. Naruto formed
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: another shadow clone, and this time with the proper shape.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I can't thank you enough, Naruto said, it's fine, just
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: make sure you pass tomorrow. And you know what Naruto did.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Because of that, and the fact that Minato seemed to
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: be abnormally skilled, they were able to graduate from the academy,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and because of that, they'd be signed to teams. However,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: because there was no team with an opening for Minato,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Hezin decided to just place him on the same team
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: as Naruto, Saske and Sokrara, a team that had Kokashi
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: as his jonian. When Kakashi entered the room. Minato was
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: surprised and couldn't help but stare at the student that
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: used to be his. Naruto was already playing pranks, but
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: none of that mattered. This was the first time since
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: he first saw Naruto that Minato felt he might cry.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Kikashi noticed and spoke up. What am I that scary?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: He asked.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Minato suddenly pulled himself back together with a smile and
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: shook his head. You look incredibly tough, but I don't
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: think you're scary. Then you don't know me well enough yet.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Taking them outside, Kikashi began to ask them about their goals, dreams,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and all the standard stuff. Naruto, as impatient and boisterous
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: as ever, took his chance first, telling everyone exactly what
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: he was going to do, how he wanted to be
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: hokage and have everyone respect him. Soakkaro would just use
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: her turn to simp for Saske and Saske well. His
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: turn left everyone's jaws on the floor when he mentioned
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: he wanted to kill so what could this person have
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: done to you to make you want to kill them
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: so badly? Minoito asked, they killed everyone in my clan,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: but me, Saske said. Minatou was a little taken off
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: guard when Saske said that, trying to process it. Wait,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the Uchiha the Uchiha clan. Kakashi nodded, Yes, Saske is
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: from the Yuchiha clan. You mean the Uchiha are eradicated?
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: When did that happen? Why did you not know? Kakashi asked.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Minaito shook his head. News to me, it happened five
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: years ago, idiot. How could you not know by now?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Saske asked, I'm new to this village, Minoto said. Kakashi
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: waved his hand. It's okay, Kiriyu. I wouldn't let it
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: bother me. You just didn't know. Minoito's gaze fell down
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to the cement below his feet as he was lost
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: in thought. How could the Uchiha have been murdered? He
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: had friends in that clan, powerful shanobi that made up
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: a vast amount of Koronoha's greatest warriors. What single man
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: could possibly solo the entire group? It was then that
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Kakashi called Minato back to the present earth.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Takiriu, do you read me?
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Mean?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Looked up? Eh?
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Kakashi spoke, what about you? What are your goals, streams,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Minotto thought he wasn't sure what he could say. Well,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you guys already know my name, it's Curriu. As for
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: what I like, I guess I like. He thought about it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: He couldn't exactly say, Kushin is cooking, so he needed
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to grab what she's so often cooked instead, salt ramen
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: like me. Naruto said, yes, Naruto, very much like you.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: As for my dreams, my goals, they're non traditional. I
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: just want to see to it that this village has
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a good future and that the next generation can rise
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and live a life better than ours. Kakashi nodded, noble dream.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: But as you know, there is only supposed to be
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: three people on the team, and we've been assigned four.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna fly.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: The Shanobi guide book says that there can only be
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: one mentor in three students. Any more than three and
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: we're running the risk of spreading the mentor too thin.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And so I'm going to be doing a bit of
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: a test survival of the fittest follow me. Leading them
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: out to the middle of nowhere, he held up not two,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: but three bells. Minato immediately knew what this was. He
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: wanted to blurt out, you're doing it, You're actually doing it,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: You're keeping the tradition alive, but that might have ran
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: a foul of the shinigami's rules, so he remained silent.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: The job here is to get a bell. If you
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: get one bell, your place on the team is solidified.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And if you get more than one, then well you
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: get to choose who your teammates are. And what if
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I don't want any of these as my teammates, Saske asked.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Kakashi looked to him, then I'll choose for you. Now,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: come at me when you're ready. Naruto launched into the attack,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: all on his own, rash as ever, but he got
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: what he deserved. Kakashi was sure to teach him a lesson.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Next with Saske, who, despite making the same mistake as Naruto,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: fared a lot better. Sakura just sort of stood there.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Minao walked to her, not willing to break the test
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: due to his meta knowledge. What do you think we
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: should do, Sakara, he asked.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: She looked at him. I'm not sure. He seems so strong.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Minio nodded, Yeah, there's no way I could ever take
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: him on a loan, he said, offering a slight hint
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: at the goal of this mission, hoping she'd catch on.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: She didn't seem to, so he took a step back
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and waited to see if that seed sprouted. As it
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: became obvious that they were going to fail, Kikashi took
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: them all to the side and told them the honest truth,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: saying that the entire exercise was one of teamwork and
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: if they wanted to pass, they needed to work together
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: and be willing to sacrifice one of themselves for the team.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Having tied up Naruto for trying to steal food, they
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: were commended not to feed him lest they all fail,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and so Minato went about his lunch trying to come
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: up with a way to rally the team and salvage this.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: That's when he looked up in Sasaske and soccer of
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: feeding Naruto. Wait what are you doing? He asked, What
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: does it look like we're feeding him? Saske said, But
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: what about what Kikashi said? Minato asked, screw what Kokashi said.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: If he wants us to work as a team, then
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: we'll all need to work together and that includes Naruto,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and Naruto won't be able to work alongside us if
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: he can't even stand due to hunger. Minato understood, considering
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that everyone on his team was feeding Naruto at this point,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: whether he fed or didn't feed Naruto wasn't an issue anymore.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: If kat the whole team would fail, so there was
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: nothing left to lose. Minato too, began to feed him,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: but of course they would all be caught. Kakashi jump scare,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: cause Minato to fall to the ground laughing. He got us,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Minato said, laughing still in his ever jovial and playful
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: sort of way. Kikashi was creeped out, but he couldn't
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: help but feel as though he had heard that laugh
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: somewhere before. It was nostalgic and triggered a memory in
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: his head that he couldn't explain. Disregarding Minato, Kakashi spoke,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: you four all disobeyed my orders to feed Naruto, and
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: you know what they say about those who disobey orders.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: There's scum. Naruto, Saske, and Sokara all said in unison.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Kakashi nodded, indeed, there's scum. However, those who would abandon
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: even one of their friends are worse than scum, and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: because you all put yourselves at risk to save one
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: of your teammates. I'm gonna pass you all. Everyone celebrated.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: As Minato calmed down, he reflected on Kokashi's character here.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Something had happened to Kakashi in the time since Minato's death.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: He honestly psyched him out a bit. He assumed that
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Kakashi was going to be a hard ass on them
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: as always, but he had actually mellowed out. Minato was
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: very surprised by this, offering a smile. He was glad
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to know that somehow Kukashi had healed and had become
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: even wiser, and now Minato couldn't wait to see what
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: would become of Team seven next. As they sat in
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a boat being slowly transported from one side to the other,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the fog was thick. Minato sat there silently gazing through it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: He thought deeply about the events that had led them
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: to this point, as well as about his own son
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and how rough, rowdy, reckless but amazing he wants. Naruto
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: caught him staring at him with the widest grin. What's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: with that face, kiriu? He asked, his expression showing a
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: bit of discomfort. Minato then realized he was staring. Oh sorry,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to I was just daydreaming. He looked
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: away and continued. It all began when Naruto grew a
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: bit tired of the geening work he was doing. Minato,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: of course had no issue with it, having spent a
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: lot of time during the Third Schenobi World War as
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: a Jonin, leading his own team and performing dangerous missions.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: The fact that this was a boring time he as
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a blessing. He had seen people just like Naruto get
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: killed right in front of him. They were skilled, indeed,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and had a bright future ahead of them, but their
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: headstrong nature saw them running into battle as though they
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: were immortal. He was so pleased that Naruto didn't have
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to grow up in such an era. But now that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: they had taken this mission, fear began to set in.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: First with the Demon Brothers, in which Naruto froze, he
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: had hoped that this experience might scare him. Frankly, Minato
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: had no issue with the idea of Naruto giving up
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: on his career right then and there. He just wanted
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: his son to be happy and healthy. But it seemed
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that Naruto had other plans. Instead of buckling under the pressure.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: He instead swore upon his wound to never falter again,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and when facing Zabaza of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the Mist, what Minato saw as a near impossible battle
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: for Naruto and Saske, not only did Naruto not freeze,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: he instead moved and, even together with Saske, ripped victory
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: from the jaws of defeat. Despite the fact that these
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: kids were fresh Shinobi, he was amazed at the level
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: of raw talent and ingenuity they possessed. Minato had seen
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Chuning with less potential than this. He could see the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: two of them rising through their ranks quickly. It made
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: him happy to know that the next generation was safely
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: in the hands of the future. Are you gonna wipe
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that stupid look off your face or are you gonna
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: keep drooling into the sea forever? Yin Kurama asked. Minato
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: wiped the drool from his face, not realizing how absorbed
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: in his own thoughts he'd become. Sorry, he thought to himself,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: just try to pay attention we're here. Don't get yourself killed,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: or actually, maybe you should get yourself killed. If you
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: get killed, they'll probably reform inside Yang Kurama and escape,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and maybe you'll get to go to the afterlife and
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Seekushina again, he said. Minoto couldn't help but admit that
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: maybe this was a good idea. After all, If Yin
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: merged with Yang again, maybe the kindly side of the
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: fox would offset the suffering Naruto was undergoing. But just
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: as he thought this, Minato saw the specter of the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Shinagami waiting on the other side of the shore. That idea, Yin,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: that would break our terms with the Shinagami, and it
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't allow that Yinside.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: You really screwed us over, you know that?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Would it have hurt for you to learn literally any
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: other ceiling technique from Koshina Damn. Reaching the shore, they
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: tied off the boat and proceeded to make their way
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to Tazuna's house. While there, they got to meet the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: old man's family, including the severely depressed child, who seemed
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to be struggling with the idea of the death of
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the one he viewed as a father. Seeing Naruto's reaction
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: to the boy's outburst, calling all Shanobi idiots and liars,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Minato knew that the problem ran deeper. Naruto wasn't bruised
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: because of the words the boy spoke, disparaging their group,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: but because Naruto himself knew the pain of losing a father,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: this drove the boy off. Kikashi would go off to
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: help Inari, while Naruto would himself go off to be alone.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: As he did, Minato would enter the room. You okay,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: he asked. I don't recall saying you could come in here, Kiri.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: You Naruto said you didn't need to. We shared this room,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Minoto said with a smile, his brown hair and blue
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: eyes giving off a sparkle as he grinned from ear
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to ear, showing every one of those pearly whites. Naruto
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: let off a sigh. Minoito's expression softly concern. Are you okay,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: he asked as he sat next to him. I can't
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: really get over a stupid twerp like that kid. He
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: thinks he's the center of the universe and that the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: whole world revolves around him. He's just a little boy, Naruto,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: one that's hurt. It's okay for him to be hurt.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: It's okay for everyone to get hurt. Sometimes, well, some
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: hurt worse than others, and they don't complain. Naruto said, no,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: they don't, but they can if they want. After all,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I'm here to listen. Naruto's eyes looked up at Minato
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: as Minato smirked, tell me, what's bothering you? Naruto normally
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: would have no part in such a thing, but for
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: some reason, Kirio seemed to have a way of getting
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: him to open up. He was comfortable. He felt like
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you could trust Kuyu with anything. From here, he began
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to explain what his life was like to cure you,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: which deeply upset Minato as he heard how his son
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: had been suffering. Naruto, I had no idea you were
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: going through this. Worst of all, the old man won't
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: even tell me who my parents were. Naruto said, I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: don't know who my mom or my dad was because
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: they're gatekeeping that information. He said, is that whether I
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: know or not, it won't bring them back. And maybe
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: he's right, but don't I deserve to freakin know who
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: my parents are. Maybe I won't be able to bring
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: them back, but it sure as hell would help me, cope,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I'd like to think anyway. Minato quickly hugged Naruto. Naruto
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: was stunned at first hold on Naruto said, are you
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: crying only a little bit? Minato shouted, I'll be okay,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: just so long as you are weirded out. Naruto would
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: offer a return hug. Yeah, I'll be all right. I
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: always am. Their time there would be spent training and
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: watching the bridge. He would help Kikashi teach. The first
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: thing they learned was how to make their way up
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the side of a vertical surface. Sakura was a natural
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: with something like this, but when both Naruto and Saske struggled,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Minato stepped in to explain where they went wrong and
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: how to make it go right. With his help, they
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: quickly finished their training and got to go home to
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: get some meaningful rest. After this, though, they would head
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: up to the bridge, where they proceed to guard it
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: well until Zabaza and Hakku showed up. Kakashi took Zabaza,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: but Hakku, on the other hand, was still wearing a
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: hunter Nin's mask, which led Minato to believe that he
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: was of a similar rank to the Abu. Saske would
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: step forward to fight him, but Minato would put out
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: a hand to stop him. Let me handle this guy, Saske,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: no way, just because you can run up a slope
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: easier than me doesn't mean that you get to outpace
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: me in everything. Minaito looked back at Saske with an
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: intensity in his eye that made Saske flinch. This guy
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: is mine, Saske. You stay over here with Naruto and Sakura.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Why can't we take this guy together, Naruto said, because
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't do anything. This guy's well above your rate,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: but not yours. Saske asked. To be fair, he has
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: been teaching me all the tricks I know, Naruto said.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: At this guy's level of strength, numbers don't matter, only
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: equal strength. You got to be close to his level
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: to even cause him to exert. Let me be the
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: one to do it, he said, stepping closer to Haku.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: The two stared each other down for a time before
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Hawku spoke. You've been fighting a long time as well,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: haven't you, Haku asked. Minato nodded, you can tell. Haku nodded.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Some people exude an aura of strength and stance, and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the way they look at you, you exude an extreme
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: aura similar to my master fight your stature. I am impressed,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Haku said, I'm gonna give you a chance to escape.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: You don't have to do this, Haku, not even turning
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: around still somehow seemed to be looking back at Zabaza.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I do have to do this. I have no choice.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Minato looked down and away for a moment, his gaze
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: reaching Naruto, Soakura, Saske, and Tazuna, the last strong male
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: presence in in Nari's life. I don't either, Minato said.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Haku nodded. Then we are both at an impasse. I apologize.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I will try to limit the suffering as much as
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I can. Haku pulled up six sendban, each one wedged
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: between the primary fingers of their hand. Minato got into
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: a defensive position, pulling a kunai.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Same.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Here, Haku and Minato began to clash. Their strikes were
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: going so fast that it was hard to see, even
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: with Saske's sharinghan in each of Kiriu's movements there seemed
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: to almost leave behind a flash of yellow like a
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: lightning bolt. He's fast, Saske said, seeming a little shaken.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: You can actually see them, Naruto asked. As they continued fighting,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: it became obvious to Haku that he wasn't going to
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: make prug in this way, and instead he decided to
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: cast his demonic mirroring ice Crystal's technique, creating a dome
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: of pure ice from which Hakku's reflection would sink into.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: From here, Hakku's face would begin to appear in all
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: of the mirrors, throwing senbon at Minato. Minato began to dodge,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: but realizing that this was a trap technique designed to
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: make Minato easily strikable, all the while limiting how Minato
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: could strike Haku, he knew the best thing he could
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: do was get out of it. He threw his kunai
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: out of the dome, and a moment later, like a
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: flash of lightning, he teleported to the other side. Outside
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: of the dome, he began to form in his hand
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a risinngan. As the dome of mirrors faded, Hakku appeared
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. Minato turned back and
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: struck Hawku in the chest with it, causing Hakku to
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: go flying. Standing there, Minato ran over to Haku in
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the hopes that maybe Hakku was still alive, but at
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: the area of the chest where he had struck with
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the rascenngan, it could do a lot of damage to
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the heart if the target wasn't strong, putting his fingers
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: to Hakku's neck. He checked to find that Hakku had
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: no pulse. Damn it, Minoto said. He hoped that the
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: spike in blood pressure had caused Haku to pass out immediately.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: It was at about this time that Kakashi finished off Zabaza.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Naruto walked over. Is he dead?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: He asked? Minoto nodded. That wasn't the end of their strife. Though.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Gatto and his men showed up to scare off the
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: bridge workers, but Kakashi and his shadow clones could drive
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: them off rather easily. This resulted in the bridge being
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: completed on time and the freedom of the Land of
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Waves from the clutches of Gato. As they began to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: go home, Naruto couldn't help but talk to Kiriu about
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: how cool he was, the way you moved, the speed
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: at which you fought saske could hardly track it with
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: his sharing gun. How did you get that fast? He asked, Well,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I just I guess talent and a lot of practice too.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And what about that one technique you did where you
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: threw your kunai and then teleported to it. Kakashi turned
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: his head slightly to listen in having drawn interest to it.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: After hearing Naruto's description, Elbozo, your kid just doxed you, Minato,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: you In said from within that that wasn't a technique.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Minoto said to Naruto, I just threw a kuon, I
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: missed my target, panicked and bolted as fast as I
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: could out of that dome. Kakashi's head seemed to turn
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: back to the path they were walking. Nice, save numbnuts.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get another day on earth, Yin said. Making
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: their way back to Konoha, they were debriefed by heroes
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: In and allowed to head home. After getting back home,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Minato fell back on the bed and looked up at
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: the ceiling. That was a pretty tough mission for geenning
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: your son's easily tuning level.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Ian said.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Minato nodded, yeah. If I know Kakashi, he'll take notice.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Turning over on his side, he looked out the window
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: at the afternoon. Something else is on your mind, isn't it?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Kurama said, how did you know? Minato asked, we share
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: the same frickin' headspace, dummy. I can literally see your
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: neurons firing.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Minato then spoke. Naruto mentioned how Herozin never told him
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: who his father and mother were. Herozin never told Naruto
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: who I am. Isn't that what you wanted? Yin asked, No,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: that's not what I wanted. I wanted he is in
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: to hide Naruto's identity and keep him safe from my enemies,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: not cut him off from knowledge of me entirely. Well,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: what did you you expect was gonna happen? You In asked,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: you didn't want people knowing Naruto's the son of the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: fourth o'kage, and yet you thought it would be a
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: good idea for a child to have the ability to
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: flaunt that his father was the fourth Okage. You know
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Naruto was gonna tell no matter what. The only way
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: to make sure that never happened was to hide Naruto's identity.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Here isn't made the right call? Minaito nodded. Maybe it
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: would be okay for him to know, though, you know,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: so long as the gravity of the matters kept a secret,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: And who's gonna tell him? You don't you remember the
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: shinigami said we couldn't reveal ourselves or else the deal's off,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: and we end up stuck inside the Shinagami forever without
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: any more free time. Minitou was silent a bit longer
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: as he thought about it. What if we did so anonymously.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Just give Naruto the things he needs to know his
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: parents on his own, A simple letter with some books
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and memorabilia, and you think Naruto would believe it, Kudama asked.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Minaito nodded. All it would take is a little timeline
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: of events, including the ceiling of the Nine tails. You
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: know it's a law to not tell Naruto that, right,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Yin asked, what are they gonna do? Execute us? Lock
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: us up forever? Pretty sh sure the shinigami wouldn't allow that.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Good point either way, I guess we lose nothing. This
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: is your kid, Minato. Whatever happens, it's on you. And
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: so Minoto got up during the nighttime and made his
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: way back to the location of Minato's house. Entering it,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: he saw it was completely empty. Figures of course they'd
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: move everything out. Minato said, tough luck, Champ. What are
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: you gonna do now? Yen asked, well, I wonder if
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: they emptied out everything. I had a lot of places
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: with Kushina. You mean that little love nest I blew
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: away when we all died. Yen asked, well, that was
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: just one of them. I had another safe house. It
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: was kind of a fail fail safe, just in case
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: of the fail safe failing. How did you not bite
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: your tongue saying that? Yen asked, I have one more location.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I used it mostly for storage, but it had supplies
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: and stuff just in case we needed to disappear from
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Konaha too. He had plans for going rogue. Yin asked,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: more or less if Konaha betrayed us and we needed
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: to lay low until we found a way to settle
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: things down, Minota raised his finger. Suddenly he teleported to
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: that location. It was old, musty and dusty. It had
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the necessities. It had a gas power generator as well
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: as cans and cans of gas stored. The inside had
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: crude running water formed from a pipe that led straight
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: to a nearby lake, using only gravity to transport it. Wow,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: you really thought this through. There's even a crib.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Minotau nodded.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: When I realized that we were having a baby. This
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: is where I channeled all my protective instincts. Minitau began
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to go through the objects that he had in storage.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: There wasn't too much there in the way of items
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: from their house. But there were old books and some
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: items that they had held in Naruto's room in the
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: main house until it was converted from an office into
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: a baby's room. As such, there was a desk in
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: the middle of the room, as well as a few
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: dressers laid over on their side, and books piled up
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: on and around the desk. Minitou began to slowly go
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: through each book, looking for anything that pertained to Naruto,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: heading back to his apartment only once to get a box.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: He teleported back to the safe safe house, where he
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: began to load up some books. Using the typewriter, he
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: typed out a message for the box, and then, in
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: his own handwriting, began to write Naruto a note as
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: though it were from ages long past, upon old warn
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: paper with nearly rotten ink. He wrote it as if
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: it were from the perspective of a father who didn't
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: know what might happen, but had a guess. Dear Naruto,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: if you're reading this, then it must mean I've passed away.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I charged Heirisen not to tell you about your parentage
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: should you not know me before I die. So if
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: that's the case, I'm sorry it took so long for
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: this package to arrive. I've told some friends to only
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: give this package to you when you're old enough to understand.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: I am your father, the fourth Hokage Minato Namakazi. The
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: reason why this information had to be withheld from you
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: is because I had many enemies and didn't want them
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to find you. That's why I implore you now not
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: to let anyone know of your true parentage, as it
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: could make you a target. Your surname, Uzamaki comes from
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: your mother. She was a beautiful and kind girl named Kushina.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: She was sweet, and I'm certain you will take after her.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I hope if either of us survives, it's Kushina. She
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: deserves to see her baby, and my son needs a
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: mother a lot more than he needs some dumb blonde
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: guy in a cape. I leave these books to you
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: a piece of myself and your mother should anything happen
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: to the both of us. If you actually did get
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: to know us by the time you're reading this, then
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sure your circumstances are different. But out of all
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: things I could tell you, it would be this. I
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: love you. Your mother loves you. We will always love you,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: no matter who you are, where you are, or where
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: we are. We'll always be watching over you, our son,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: our beloved bouncing baby boy, with love, your father, Minato Namakazi.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Minato realized he was crying. He wiped his eyes. For
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: this moment, Yin Kudama held back all snipes and sarcasm.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: It was an important moment for Minato, one that would
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: likely have to tide him over for all eternity, and
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: if it was that important, he would not waste Minato's
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: precious moment on a hollow joke that would haunt Kudama
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: for eternity. As Minato placed the note into the box
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: and sealed it up, Yin spoke for the first time
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: in a while, You're a good dad, Namakazi, forget that.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Minato snucked the box to Naruto's apartment and rang the
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: bell before jumping up and over the roof, getting a
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: vantage point. On the other side, he saw Naruto bringing
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: the box in, sitting it down on the floor, and
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: unpacking it. Within there was the note. Naruto read the
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: note for a moment before covering his mouth quickly looking
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: through the rest of the box. Tears began to roll
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: down his cheek, especially as he looked through the album. Minato,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: after seeing this, stood and left, giving his son all
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the privacy he needed. You're gonna be okay, Minato, Yin asked,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I am, I'm going to be better than ever, he said,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: rubbing away the tears. You're a good friend, Yin, No,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm a bad friend. And don't you ever
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: forget it? Minato chuckled, I won't. They made their way
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: back to the apartment, where they prepared to rest. This
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: is something they would need. The day after, just as
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Minato had guessed, Kakashi informed them about the upcoming exams
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: and asked if they'd be willing to join. Of course,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: the team said yes, and thus they signed up for
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the exams and began to do each test. They didn't
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: have much time to talk to each other before and
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: after signing up, nor did they have much time to
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: talk during the first exam. However, they did have time
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: to talk during the second, and this was when Naruto
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: approached Minato during a moment of rest. When Minato was
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: off to himself, Naruto showed up and drew close to him.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Who the hell are you, Naruto asked. Minoto seemed to
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: question this. I'm KIRIU. Don't you know that? He said,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: with a nervous chuckle. I know who you say you are,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: but who are you really? Sojourner Kiriu didn't know what
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: He just stood there, stunned.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: You sent me that box, Kiriu shook his head.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what box you're talking about. The one
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: filled with memorabilia from the time of my parents, the
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: one with a note written to me from my father,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: the one that told me who I am and what
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I am. It just so happened to show up just
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: after we got back from a mission where I told
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: you my life story. I don't know what you're talking about,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Naruto Minoito said louder than he should have, letting Sakora
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: and Saske hear and draw their attention. You two need
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: to be quiet. Saske said, you're gonna give away your location.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: You think I don't know who sent it, Kiriu? Naruto said,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: you overlooked one little thing. The box you sent me
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: had your name written at the bottom. Minato's heart rate
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: spiked my name, Naruto nodded. Right on the bottom, someone
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: wrote down the address to your apartment. You didn't notice it,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: but I sure did, so tell me, Who are you?
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: You're so busted, Yin said from within in the tree tops,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: the shinigami lingered. Minato was beginning to panic. He dropped
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: the ball on everything, and now he didn't know how
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: to clean it up. His breathing was quickened as Saske
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: and Sakara stood around him waiting for an answer. His
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: anxiety led to panic as tears formed in his eyes
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: from unsurety. He began to dash away as fast as
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: he could get back here. Naruto called out, Minatou just
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: kept running. What are you doing, you idiot? You can't
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: just abandon your team, You'en shouted. This caused Minoto to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: come to arrest beside a tree. Catching his breath, he
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: began to breathe, Hi screwed it up, Yin. Hi screwed
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: it up. My only chance to know my own son,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: and I screwed it up. Curling up, Minoto could tell
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: that this body was young because it was not handling
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: the strain and stress that his older one could. This
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: body was weaker, or it reacted differently. It seemed to
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: have some sort of anxiety disorder that his previous one
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: didn't have, and due to that, he didn't know how
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: to control the cascading failures. He felt like he was
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: out of control, barreling toward destruction, and this lack of
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: control caused the anxiety to get worse. He grasped at
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: his chest and wheezed, as if he were having a
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: heart attack. Namakazi, get a hold of yourself, Yin shout it.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: The words didn't reach Minatau. He had never experienced this before.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: It was like he was a prisoner in his own body,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: watching himself from far away, breathing deeply yet not getting
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: enough air. He felt like he was suffocating, like a
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: diver without a respirator. Yin had to take drastic measures.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Since Minato no longer had control over his will, Yin
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: had to. He dragged Minato deep into his subconscious and
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: pulled him into the cage. He's gonna kill me, Minato
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: thought to himself, but his body wouldn't move. If he
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: kills me, he'll go to Naruto and overpower him.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: He'll escape.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: At this point, Minato was inches away from calling off
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the deal with the shinigami and trapping them both, but
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: before he could utter the word voided. He was surprised
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: when the fox took him up in his hands and
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: pressed his head gently to Minato. Sh. He whispered to
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Minato sh. Minatou was stunned yin then spoke, Minato, You're enough,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: You're okay. No matter what happens next, I'm staying with you.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: You're not ever gonna be alone because you have me.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: For better or worse. You're stuck with me, he said,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: with a chuckle. So calm down. If Naruto finds out,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't, it doesn't matter in the slightest. The
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: end will be the same. You've already done enough. Naruto
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: isn't mad at you. He's wondering why you've been hiding
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: this information where you got it from. He's not mad
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: that you told him. He feels like he doesn't have control,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: just like you do. You scared him. But he's going
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: to be okay, just like you will be, I promise.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Minato's breathing had slowed down, and now he was crying uncontrollably,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: not on purpose. It was a strange form of breakdown.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: He felt so happy, like he might laugh at any moment.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: All wild tears spilled down his cheeks. He was overwhelmed,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: every emotion flaring at once, screaming at once feel so weak.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I'm ashamed. I've never done this before, he said through
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: an emotional squeak. You're not weak because you had a
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: panic attack, nor are you weak for being scared. You're
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: strong because you're still standing. People who don't suffer this
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: stuff don't really understand it. You didn't suffer it before,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: and so you're judging yourself. But in my one thousand
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: years of life, I've seen so many people, and the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: people who seem the most timid are the ones whose
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: bravery runs the deepest, even if they don't know it,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: because they're strong enough to feel small and keep walking
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: anyway despite the odds. Minato began to calm down. His
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: body jerked and trembled. He felt hot and strangely very hungry.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: You're good at this, Minato said, kuda'ma smiled. I might
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: have had a few human friends in my day, and
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: they might have been outcasts, and they might have been
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: just like you. Right now, never forget that you're enough.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: People can't take away the validity of your god given
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: right to exist, nor can they dictate your value or
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: strength from surface observations. Only someone who knows you through
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and through can tell you what you are, and I
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: can do that a wise, strong, powerful shanobi who ran
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: a foul of stressors. And now you're going to stand
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: up again because that's who you are.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: So relax.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Fighting backed, always be strenuous, not against an opponent like this.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Each breadth is a victory. Each moment where you remember
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: your worth is a victory. You're winning, Minato, You're winning.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: And a moment later, Minoto awakened, not to Kurama, but
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: to the concerned gaze of Naruto, who knelt over him. Ki, you,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't mean to make this happen to you.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to know. Minoto nodded. It's okay, I understand,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: but realize this, Naruto, there are some things I cannot
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: talk about. What I gave you. I did because I
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: believed you should know, and if I could, I'd give
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: you everything, but I can't, or there will be consequences.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: All I ask, if I can ask anything from you
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: for giving you those books, it's for you to know
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: that my actions are out of love, and if I
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: could tell you more, I would, but I can't, so
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I ask that you just trust me. Naruto nodded, You've
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: given me more than I've had before. I don't know
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: what situation you're in, who you're hiding from, even what
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: your real name is, but I know you're a good friend,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: and so I'll trust you. Naruto hugged Minato again. They
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: rested a bit, let Minato eat something, and Naruto fabricated
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: a lie to cover for him so the team wouldn't
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: distrust Kiriu. After this, they began to move. They came
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: across a rochi Maru. However, before he could hurt anyone,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Minato was the one to move in and push him back.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: He had heard a rochi maru had fallen into darkness,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: but refused to believe it until now. However, as he
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: fought against a rochi Maru, the old Snake began to
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: notice things in Kiriu's movements. His techniques sent his ninjutsu
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: flying raijin eh a rochi Maru would flee from the battlefield,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: leaving behind them a scroll as a reward for defeating him.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: The team made their way to the building at the
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: center of the forest where the third rounds would take place.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: At this point, the rounds were all single getting exhibitions.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Minato didn't feel like he should take away someone else's
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: chance just to push himself forward. He was fine helping
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Team seven succeed at other's expense, but now he was
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: all by himself, so he decided to drop out so
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: the others could move on.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: He was dead.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: His time as a shanobi was over. It was time
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: for the next generation to take their place. However, even
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: without him, there were still more people than there should
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: have been in the matches, and thus they had to
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: make two tournaments for the exhibition matches. After the first,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: they would give off a month to train, to which
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Minato would dedicate time to helping Naruto grow stronger. However,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: the moment Juriah showed up, all bets were off. Minato
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: was so happy to see his master again that he
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: came across like a little bit of a fanboy. Juria
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: would train Naruto with Minato, but every time he taught
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: them anything, Jeria began to feel as though Kiriu already
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: knew a lot about the things he was teaching. After
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: hearing what Naruto had said about Kiriu, he began to
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: question if it were possible. Juriah almost immediately knew that
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Minato was reincarnated as this kid. What was more was
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: that this Kiriu kid knew about his reincarnation too. Juriah
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: could tell him the way he spoke and moved, but
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: this was highly unusual, and while he wanted to say
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: something to the boy, he figured that if Minato wouldn't
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: tell him his identity, then he must have a good reason.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: He elected not to say anything. Despite this, Minaitau already
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: knew Jariyah knew, he knew. A Rochi Maru knew as well.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Things were coming to a head. Eventually, the truth was
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: going to come out, and Minato's time in this world
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: would end. He needed to make the best of it.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: The night before the tune in exams kicked off again,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Minato was sitting alone when Naruto came up and sat
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: down next to him. Nervous about tomorrow, kure you asked,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Naruto shook his head. Nah, I got this, he said
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: with surety. I feel like I can do anything so
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: long as you're there to watch me. Kiri You smiled,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: and then look down Naruto. If I disappear one day
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: out of the blue, would you hate me? Naruto looked over. Disappear,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Kira You nodded, you know, being a Shinobian all sometimes
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: things happen and people leave each other's lives without being
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: able to say goodbye.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: And does this have.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: To do with why you can't tell me who you are?
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Naruto asked, Kure you nodded. He began to wipe his
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: eyes clear of tears. If I leave and don't get
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: to say goodbye, you'll remember that I care about you, right,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: I will always love you no matter who you are,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: where you are, or where I am, You'll always be
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: my best friend, Naruto said. Upon hearing these words, Minato
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: began to cry. Naruto pulled him into a hug. The
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: next day, Minato stood in the stands with Sakura cheering
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: on Naruto and Saske. But this was when crap hit
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: the fan. Gara fled the arena as an attack began
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: on the leaf. Minato, Naruto, Saske, and Sakra were all
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: still awake. Saske and Sakura ran off after Gara. Minaito
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: told Naruto to follow them as well, but Minato himself
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: endeavored to go after heroz In to protect him. As
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: the fighting continued, the Sound four appeared to create a
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: barrier to keep people from interfering within the battle between
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: heroes In and a Rochi Maru. But as Minato saw
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: the barrier forming, he threw a kunai through a narrow
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: opening before using the flying Raijin to teleport himself inside.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Once he was within the barrier, he stood there beside
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: he is In, ready to fight. A Rochi Maru had
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: summoned the impure reincarnations of the first and second hokag
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Minato prepared to face them, along with Herozin and the
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: monkey king enm. Together, all three fought, with Minato choosing
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: to take on a Rochi Maru as he seem to
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: be the strongest of the bunch. Hashirama and Tobirama appeared
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: to be the weakest due to their reincarnations being imperfect. However,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: their infinite stamina really threw a wrench into it. Minoto
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: knew he had to do something about them all and
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: hoped that merely by defeating a Rochi Maru, he could
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: defeat the other reincarnations. However, Minato fell into one of
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: the old Snake's traps. Being caught. A Rochi Maru spoke,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I had tried to reincarnate the fourth Okage,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: but it failed every time. I attempted it. I wondered,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: why was it the nature of your ceiling? Now I
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: know it's because he had already been reincarnated. Minoto's eyes widened.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Heros and looked up at Minato with a questioning glance.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: The fear on Kiriu's face set it. All the engines
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: of the techniques. Seeing the boy fight and now A
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Rochi Maru's words, it all made too much sense. Kiriu
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: was somehow Minato reincarnated. A Rochi Maru then spoke, maybe
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: it's not too late for me to still control you.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: I wonder what will happen if I attempt to utilize
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: impure world reincarnation, utilizing the person I wished to reincarnate
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: as the sacrifice. A Rochi Maru began the process. Minato
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: knew if he didn't do something now, not only would
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: he is in diet, but the village would be destroyed.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: He only had one other option. My name is Minato Namakazi.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I'm the fourth hokag he shouted. At that moment, the
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Shinagami appeared above him.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: Our deal is void, he said. Minato nodded.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: I understand, but I beg you please and recompense for
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: this infraction, take not only me, but also take with
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: you the first and second hokags as well as a
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Rochi Maru.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Defend the village.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Please, if there's any kindness in your heart, fulfill this request.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: The Shinagami looked at the first and second hokage as
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: well as a Roachi Maru, the one who had perverted
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: the balance between life and death. This is reasonable. From there,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: the Shinigami went to absorb them, taking the first and
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: second hokag before turning to a Rochi Maru. A Roachi
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: Maru saw him coming and quaked with fear. No you cannot,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: I have. I've just begun to understand how to undo
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: the consequences of death, not all of them. The spirit
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: spoke as it sucked the life from Arochi Maru. Kiriu
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: was free, looking back at hero is In with a smile.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: The bodily form of Kiriu fell away to show only
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: the spirit, as though he were perfected ido tense that
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: had just been freed. You were, Minato, Here isn't, shouted
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: kiri You nodded, yes, here is In. Then thought about
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: everything that Naruto had suffered, the things Minato had seen
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: and was overcome with shame. I tried my best, Minato,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't good enough. I couldn't stop Naruto from suffering.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Minato approached he is In and put his hands on
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: the old man's shoulders. A friend told me this, and
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: now I tell it to you. Know that you are enough.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: You're not weak because you feel small. You're strong because
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: you keep walking despite it. Here isn't, hugged the boy.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going to keep trying, I promise. Kiriu continued to
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: hug he is In. Eventually he stepped back, looking up
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: at the Shinagami, he spoke, I'm almost ready, but may
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I ask one more favor before we go? What is it?
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: The shinigami asked, I want to say goodbye to Naruto.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: The sand siblings had left with Gara, and now the
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: three members of Team seven were making their way home. Suddenly,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Kiriu's voice stopped them. Naruto Naruto turned back to see
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Kiriyu standing there. He ran and hugged the boy. Kiriu,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: you're here? Is everything okay with Herosin? And why are
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: you so shiny? Kiriu chuckled. There were things I wanted
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: to say to you. Before, Naruto things I couldn't, but
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: I think I can now. The reason why I knew
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: so much about you, the reason I wanted to befriend
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: you that day in the academy and stuck so close,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: is because I'm your father. Naruto was confused. Ah Kiriyu
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly, the
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: familiar shape of the child fell away and was replaced
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: with the appearance of a fully grown man. Naruto's eyes widened.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Dad Minato smiled Naruto. Naruto was confused. How Minato then
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: began to explain, when you were born, the nine Tails
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: tried to escape. To defeat it, I had to use
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: a particular sealing jutu to seal it into us. I
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: put half into you and half into me. But as
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: I was certain I'd never get to see you again,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: I was given a second chance. I was reincarnated into
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: the body of a young man about your age, where
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: I could observe your life.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: The only rules were.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: That I couldn't do anything to change my own fate
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: or say anything that would reveal my identity. However, my
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: identity was revealed all the same, and thus my time
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: on Earth comes to an end. You're going away, Naruto said,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: tears filling his eyes. But I only just now got
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: to know you. This isn't fair. I know you and
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't get much time together, but remember the time
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: we had and cherish it, treasure it. It was more
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: than we deserved. He looked up at the shinagami that
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: motioned for him to hurry things along. My time is
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: almost up.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Wait, don't go. I love you. I love you too, Naruto.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Of all the things I could tell you, it would
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: be this. I love you. Your mother loves you. We
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: will always love you, no matter who you are, where
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: you are, or where we are. We'll always be watching
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: over you, our son, our beloved bouncing baby boy. Will
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: I ever see you again? Naruto asked. Minato nodded. I
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: believe you will, but only when the time is right.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: For now, live your life to the fullest and know
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: that I'm proud of you. The Shinigami nodded his head
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: at Minoto. My time's up. I'll be watching over you, Naruto.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: I love you, and with that he was gone. Naruto
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: fell to his knees, only for Sakra and Saske to
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: help him up.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Once more.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Minato floated in the darkness, only Yin there to speak
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: with him. Yin, do you really think we'll ever see
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: him again?
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Yin would not, I do.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: The world is full of things people would call impossible,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: and this is hardly one of them. The boy's resourceful.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Perhaps the Shinagami wanted it from the beginning to give
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: you something you didn't have before. And what's that, Minato asked,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Hope Minoto smiled as Yin said that, you know you're
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: a good friend Yin, Minoto said, Kudama began to chuckle. Okay,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: maybe I am. Just maybe I am. And that's where
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: I want to call it. That ending was bittersweet, but
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: then again, we knew it was heading that way already.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. I hope you did too.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: Frankly, the stories that allow me.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: To get to explore the bonds between characters, stories like
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Naruto getting to meet his parents, really are enjoyable to me.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: It allows me to dive into my favorite part of storytelling,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: that is to say, the emotional connections between people. I
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: loved this, and I hope you did too. If you did,
• 1:01:25
