[Chapter Size: 2500 Words.]
Rōran, 43.
...
...
The emotions seemed quite heightened in that room, seeing the blond boy cry upon seeing his 'father' for the first time, but little by little, he began to calm down.
"You know... I'm happy to hear that, to learn who my father was, the incredible man he was after everything... but at the same time, I feel like punching you for sealing the Kyuubi inside me and making me live with the people of the village always hating me." He began, these were repressed feelings, anger and resentment toward his father.
"...But I know you're not him... at least... or maybe you didn't make the decision to seal the fox inside me...", the words continued to echo from Naruto's mouth.
Minato fell silent, just like everyone else. They only watched, without making any comments, curious about the interaction.
"Well... I believe the Minato from your world must have done this for some reason. You said the fox was placed inside you when you were a newborn." He asked, but looked at Yamato.
"Yes, Lord Fourth...", Yamato said beside him, while Minato looked at him and nodded.
"So it was on the day of your birth, when Kushina — at least the Kushina in your world — was giving birth, because that's when the seal weakens the most...", Minato informed, pausing.
"And, knowing myself, I would never be careless enough to lose control of the seal or let something like that happen in the middle of the village. I imagine I didn't do that in the village, since the damage could be quite large...", he commented, looking at Yamato, who nodded with some reluctance.
"In fact, Lord Fourth... The fox appeared in the middle of the village, and the damage was very great, many ninjas died that night..." Yamato informed.
Yamato was only a teenager working in Root at that time, but Danzō had sent several groups to observe, even to keep an eye on the Uchiha, as if he were trying to find any proof that they had been responsible.
But Minato himself, despite knowing very well what happened and the reason in Naruto's world — after all, all of this was the fault of a little boy who was also in that room, Obito Uchiha. At least an Obito who had been lost in darkness in Naruto's world before him — even so, Naruto kept a sharp gaze. He couldn't simply reveal information that, supposedly, he shouldn't know, since he came from a different world and from a timeline further ahead of the current one.
"She attacked the village... Strange, I would never have done that. I would have isolated Kushina with the people who would take care of the delivery and help me with the barriers, with an elite Anbu team as guards..." Minato seemed to debate with himself.
"Tell me... the Kurama's eyes, were they that slit that foxes and cats, felines in general, usually have, or were they a round sphere?", Minato asked Yamato, who was surprised by the question.
"Come to think of it, Lord Minato... it wasn't really a slit like a fox should have...", he replied. Everyone that night had watched the fox devastating everything, and its fierce eyes did not go unnoticed.
"Then it's probably a Sharingan. It's just that the skin around the eyes hid the tomoe...", Minato said immediately.
Yamato then looked at Naruto, who was a bit surprised by this information, this should be something that would change a lot, an enemy capable of controlling the fox?!
Minato turned to Naruto, who was silently observing the conversation. "So it's very likely that someone attacked you during your birth. More specifically, they attacked your mother. With the seal weakened due to the birth, she was an easy target. And, from what I heard from Yamato, it was an Uchiha member, most likely, who placed the nine-tailed fox under their control and attacked the village on purpose."
"What?!", Naruto seemed surprised, while Yamato became thoughtful.
"Come to think of it... the tensions between the clans at that time had increased a lot...", Yamato commented.
"Was there any powerful Uchiha in your time?", Minato asked.
"No...", Yamato denied.
"Wasn't there Sasuke's brother?!" Naruto said, almost as if it were an open wound.
"Sasuke's brother..." Minato seemed confused.
"It's Itachi Uchiha. He massacred the entire clan a few years later, about 7 years later, at only 13 years old... and became a rogue ninja. There's a bounty on him in the bingo book..." Yamato informed.
Minato fell silent. He could sense the children seeming a bit shocked. Since in this timeline, Minato had a son also named Itachi, and his mother was from the Uchiha clan.
'Hmm... maybe I'll even have to erase my students' memories...', he debated internally.
"By any chance... could it be Miss Mikoto's son?", Rin asked and they nodded silently.
Minato didn't say anything about it. It was better to leave this subject aside so as not to increase the confusion even more, stepping into more dangerous territory.
"If he was 13 years old, then he was 6 when the village was attacked, it doesn't make much sense, don't you think?" Minato said and Yamato nodded in reluctant agreement.
'So who would attack the village?' Yamato wondered.
"I think there may be the same problem we have in our world, after all there was only one Uchiha known for mastering Kurama with his sharingan..."
"Madara Uchiha!" Yamato remembered Minato stating that he was alive there.
"Most likely, despite some differences that may exist between the two worlds. But Madara here is too old, I don't think he could accomplish that feat in 2 or 3 years..."
"Well, anyway, let's forget about this subject for now... Let me go get someone", Minato said and disappeared before anyone could do anything.
"Huh? Where did he go? What happened here, dattebayo?", Naruto asked immediately, looking all around. There was no Minato anywhere, and he didn't even see how he left.
"That's the Fourth Hokage's teleportation jutsu, you idiot!", Yamato got frustrated with Naruto.
"Teleportation jutsu?", Naruto asked immediately, while Yamato began explaining how the Hiraishin worked. After all, everyone in Konoha — at least the older generation — knew what that jutsu had been capable of doing in the war.
Meanwhile... Minato appeared at his residence, finding Kushina and Tsuna preparing a cake and Tsuna, milk to feed the babies.
"Minato!", the two looked at him as he opened a smile.
"You returned from your mission in the Land of Stars?", Tsuna asked.
"Yes, but I had a setback. I had to go to Rōran. A coup d'état happened there at this moment." He explained.
"Really?", Tsuna raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem that impressed.
"Well, it's not something difficult to deal with. The queen asked for my help, and I agreed. She is safe now. At the same time, I found something interesting... that's why I'd like to borrow Kushina for a bit", Minato said.
Kushina looked curious, shifting her gaze between the eggs being beaten and Minato.
"Does it have to be now?", she said, clearly not wanting to leave.
"Of course... if you don't want to see two people who came from the future, I'm sure you'll be interested, you can leave a clone doing your work."
"What do you mean two people who came from the future?", Tsuna stepped closer, holding the baby bottles in her hands, she was about to give them to the two children, who were already over five months old.
"It's a long story, but an adult Yamato and another young man came from the future who have a connection with me and Kushina... but not from this world, but from another one. Do you believe it? There are some differences between our worlds, I'll say that in advance...", Minato said.
"An adult Yamato?", Tsuna commented with a grimace.
"And the other boy... who is he?", Kushina asked beside her.
Minato just smiled. "You'll have to see for yourself."
"Alright, let's see", Kushina said, curiosity overcoming her desire to make the strawberry cake.
"I'm going too", Tsuna declared. "I want to see if this Yamato learned anything and became responsible like I've been training him."
While the two created clones to stay there protecting the house, ensuring that any enemy would be detected immediately, they prepared to teleport back with Minato.
"Wow... my dad is that cool?", it was at that moment that Naruto exclaimed, after hearing about the Hiraishin technique and about him having defeated a thousand Stone ninjas in the Third War.
That was when everyone looked at the three people who had returned.
Kushina looked at the three children who were Minato's students, then at the mother and son duo, with the queen and princess staring at them with surprise and even suspicion. Then she turned her attention back to the two, while Tsuna observed, recognizing Yamato.
The other two — Naruto and Yamato, who had been talking — stopped.
"Hey... wait... he... is... Na-Naruto, dattebane?", Kushina pointed at Naruto, surprised. She exclaimed in her exaggerated tone, while Naruto widened his eyes.
Kushina, in fact, was remembering when she was conquering the power of the Nine-Tails, when Minato gave her an illusion through the power of light, materializing a comfortable life with a son named Naruto. That had filled Kushina with the desire to have a life alongside her husband and to have a child. At that time, it was the necessary fuel for her to finally conquer Kurama.
It was something she would never forget.
"You know me, dattebayo?", Naruto, who heard his name from the blonde, asked, not considering the possibility that Minato had contact, but she seemed quite surprised with him, while everyone watched that strange interaction.
"Wait... dattebane...", Naruto murmured as he remembered the catchphrase Kushina used.
"Dattebayo...", Kushina also murmured, also recognizing Naruto's catchphrase.
"Dattebane...?"
"Dattebayo...?"
"Dattebane..."
"Dattebayo..."
"Dattebane!"
"Dattebayo!"
To Naruto, that girl seemed to be at least about three years older — like an older sister. However, hearing a catchphrase very similar to the one he used left him completely shocked. Even without ever having heard anything about his mother before, something inside him began to connect the pieces.
He had been a bit slow to realize, but upon seeing that, his lips began to tremble.
"Mother...", he let the word slip almost without control. Tears began to run down his eyes as he saw the beautiful girl with radiant red hair.
'This was his mother?'
Kushina opened a smile and looked at Minato. "It's him, right?", she asked.
Minato nodded. "Yes. Not from this world, but he is the son of the Minato and Kushina from the other world. In other words, he should be our son as well."
"What?!", joy took over Kushina. She ran to him, while Naruto was already crying.
"It's so good to meet you, son!", Kushina said, while Naruto could do nothing but stand still with the embrace of his supposed mother. He also wrapped his arms around her back, diving into that embrace where there was nothing but tenderness and an instinctive affection that a mother and son would have for each other.
Kushina had never met her son, and Naruto had never met his mother. Both seemed to complete each other in that moment.
"Lady Kushina..." Beside them, Yamato couldn't help but show a smile as he saw the two embracing.
Suddenly, Yamato felt a shadow over him. He tried to dodge, but he was too slow and received a smack on the head from the blonde who came with Kushina and Minato. This made him recoil with his hand on his head from the pain, looking in a dissatisfied and dazed way at his aggressor.
"What are you doing?", he asked, while the blonde crossed her arms.
"Too slow! Who taught you how to fight? It clearly wasn't me... How did you become so slow?", Tsuna said, with a dissatisfied look at someone she had trained over the past months. She was clearly disappointed with the performance of her future student.
"Wait... who are you, Lord Fourth?", not knowing how to react, Yamato tried to ask Minato for help, who only sighed.
"As I said before, this is your teacher from this world. At least, she has been teaching your younger self over the past few months. She is the daughter of Tsunade and Dan... and also my wife, Tsuna of the Senju clan.", Minato explained.
Yamato looked stunned. When Minato had mentioned that Tsunade had a daughter before, he still couldn't believe it. But now, looking at the girl — who seemed to be around 19 years old, like Minato, younger than him, but at the same time a copy of Tsunade, with some different features, like her lilac eyes —, the feeling he had was even worse than being in front of Lady Tsunade herself, it didn't help much.
The girl seemed very disappointed with him, like a teacher seeing her student straying from the right path or something like that.
"I'm disappointed in you, Yamato. I can sense your chakra reserves... and they are disappointing", she said.
Yamato seemed completely lost with that. He was still an elite jōnin — how could she be disappointed with him?
Without warning, once again, Tsuna simply advanced, making Yamato widen his eyes. He reacted quickly, and a wall of Mokuton appeared as the punch shattered the wood, her fist breaking through toward him, stopping only a few centimeters away from him.
"Damn... she has the same strength as Tsunade!", he exclaimed, not knowing what to do. Maybe he should ask the Fourth for help.
That was when, suddenly, he felt a root beginning to emerge from the ground and, unable to react, he was completely restrained. The roots wrapped around his leg, lifting him into the air, leaving him stunned.
His wall was completely destroyed at the same time, while Tsuna clenched her hands, using Mokuton itself. Yamato was there, trapped, hanging in the air, under everyone's gaze. Even Naruto watched in surprise.
"She can use Mokuton too!?", he exclaimed, stunned.
"Yes... didn't you know?", Kushina, who had stepped back, asked in surprise. He should know Tsuna, right?
Naruto looked at the young woman, who was clearly a younger version of Tsunade, and couldn't help but swallow hard as he remembered what Minato had said: Tsunade had a daughter in this world.
"I'm completely lost, dattebayo...", he murmured, as he watched Tsuna drop Yamato to the ground after lowering the roots.
Minato approached Kushina and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"There are some changes: in their world, Tsunade never married and never had a daughter", he said.
That caught Kushina and even Tsuna herself by surprise.
"What?! I don't exist?", the young blonde seemed hurt by that.
"Well... we have a lot to talk about. Besides, we should stop making such a scene in front of everyone", Minato said, looking at his three students, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, as well as the queen and her daughter, who had been silently watching them the entire time.
