Namikaze Minato's expression was exceptionally serious, and there was a sense of candor and straightforwardness in his words:
"From that Chakra, I felt a power capable of controlling human minds... its ability to affect thoughts far surpasses my understanding of various Genjutsu, even the Dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan cannot compare."
Namikaze Minato said solemnly: "Combining Naruto's childhood experiences and his identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... Having such powerful Chakra within him makes me think twice."
"This is to destroy Naruto's independent personality..."
Kushina clenched her fists and muttered: "What are they trying to do? Do they know they owe Naruto, and to prevent him from rampaging as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, they're trying to limit his thoughts?"
"This Jutsu that subtly interferes with thoughts... I've never heard of such a thing... This must be some terrifying Kinjutsu..."
Kushina looked at Namikaze Minato, and said with unusual seriousness: "Minato, you were once Hokage and read the Sealing Book... You should know what this Jutsu is, right?"
Namikaze Minato pondered for a moment, then his face suddenly changed: "The Sealing Book doesn't record such a Jutsu..."
"But I once read some research notes from the Second Hokage... Among them, I remember Senju Tobirama studied a Ninjutsu similar in effect to this Chakra sphere. Its purpose was to brainwash the Uchiha Clan who were plotting rebellion!"
Namikaze Minato's expression finally darkened.
Kushina was even more furious, cursing: "Indeed... how could a Hokage who studies corpses and Kinjutsu every day truly possess the Will of Fire in his heart?"
"And how could his followers be good people?"
"Konoha has been corrupted from the root ever since the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. That inherently evil Senju old ghost turned the village into a monster that devours people!"
Kushina was trembling with anger: "Even the orphan of the Fourth Hokage is being brainwashed with Kinjutsu to be used as a container for a Tailed Beast. I really can't imagine what other ninjas are treated like!"
"They might have resorted to human experimentation, possibly even targeting ninjas from the same village!"
Aomi had an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, shaking his head slightly.
Heh!
Originally, they were discussing the Six Paths Sage and his sons, but just because Aomi stayed silent, the Namikaze couple firmly placed the blame on Senju Tobirama!
And they cited references to back up their claims... truly the king of fire-shadow universe blame!
However, this old man really did research every Ninjutsu, huh?
From the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen misunderstood Senju Tobirama was trying to possess Aomi, and now Namikaze Minato believes the Asura Chakra is some Kinjutsu of the Second Hokage against the Uchiha...
Almost anything that isn't bright and positive seems to have a prototype from Senju Tobirama's research materials!
It's safe to say there's nothing unthought-of, nothing unfound...
And more intriguing is.
Although the blame was misplaced, Kushina's accusations about the current state of Konoha were fitting...
At this moment.
Konoha is precisely when Shimura Danzo has gradually infiltrated various aspects of Konoha's power, and has conducted human experiments regarding Wood Release with Orochimaru, even children from the same village cannot escape his clutches...
"The matters of your village have nothing to do with me."
Aomi softly coughed, slowly saying: "I only focus on Naruto, he and I are destined... As the child I've chosen, I will teach him the power to protect himself..."
"To grow without interference into the person he wants to become."
"You, as Naruto's parents, what do you think? I do not force; destiny cannot be coerced..."
Kushina immediately raised her hand, taking Naruto's small hand, loudly declaring: "Aomi-sama! I wish for you to guide Naruto!"
"Whatever you do is fine! If the child is disobedient, feel free to discipline him, there's no need to be polite, treat Naruto like your own child!"
Naruto's little face wrinkled immediately.
What!
He and Aomi are friends, not that traditional teacher-student relationship...
This mom, really, how could she just sell him like that?
In Kushina's heart...
Misunderstanding the Asura Chakra as a Kinjutsu controlling Naruto, combined with the unjust treatment Naruto suffered due to his background, she has lost all hope in the entire village of Konoha!
This place is utterly rotten and can never be Naruto's home...
If there wasn't Aomi, even if Kushina is now merely a wisp of Chakra, she would find a way to maintain her existence, help Naruto grow, and leave Konoha early...
But with the mighty Aomi.
Kushina could say her heart blossoms with joy, a person with Sage's Eye from the Six Paths, who understands all Ninja World's Kekkeigenkai and Chakra Forms and Nature Transformations...
Especially one with an immortal demeanor, elegant and transcendent, whose words even suggest he might not belong to this world!
Given Naruto said Aomi is a traveler...
Kushina guesses, Aomi might either be the legendary Six Paths Sage, or an existence beyond the Ninja World and her understanding!
Overall, having Aomi as Naruto's teacher is a blessing from generations of cultivation...
A person like Aomi has no need to deceive them... even being patient enough to explain a few things already makes Kushina feel overwhelmed with favor, internally grateful for Naruto's exceptionally good fortune.
"Aomi-sama, I entrust Naruto to you..."
Namikaze Minato, seeing Kushina's stance, though at first considering speaking for Konoha, now clearly expressed his position:
"Do everything according to your ideas! As Naruto's parents, we're honored you can become his teacher..."
The Asura Chakra, suspected to be Senju Tobirama's Kinjutsu, no old acquaintances visiting Naruto...
Let Namikaze Minato realize that the village Naruto is in isn't the Konoha he once wanted to protect...
Being a remnant soul about to disappear, he couldn't achieve much, nor had time to consider something like the irrelevant Will of Fire in this complex and disheartening situation...
Securing an opportunity for Naruto is the only important matter at this moment!
Aomi's strength far exceeded Namikaze Minato's understanding, even beyond the legend of the God of the Ninja World...
If such a person could become Naruto's master, Naruto's subsequent life would at least never be like his earlier childhood, full of intolerable gray memories.
"Naruto, what do you think?"
Aomi nodded noncommittally, shifting his gaze from Namikaze Minato and Kushina to directly meet Naruto's.
"I... Of course, I would like that, Aomi brother!"
Naruto hurriedly nodded, still internally a little disgruntled.
His dad and mom changed faces too quickly!
Initially, they seemed cautious towards Aomi, wanting to extensively question the friend Naruto made...
After a few words, and experiencing a sphere, their attitude abruptly changed!
Not letting Aomi become his teacher seemed impossible...
Clearly, the agreement was to be friends first!
"Naruto, chat further with your dad and mom, bid a proper farewell..."
Aomi turned, sitting casually atop the head of the giant fox amidst the embrace of Nine-tailed Chakra.
"Naruto, forget past unpleasantness, never feel guilty towards anyone, you're a very good child!"
Kushina held Naruto's hands, tears welling in her eyes:
"Mama asks nothing of you, only hopes you have a lifetime of happiness, health, and freedom..."
Naruto and Kushina tightly embraced, softly tearing up:
"I will, mama."
Namikaze Minato gently patted Naruto's hair, sighed wearily:
"Dad's former experience is useless to you, perhaps I've never grasped this village, even though I was Hokage..."
"Study well with Aomi-sama, my son, dad is sorry, go be the person you want to be!"
The family of three shared final words, as Namikaze Minato and Kushina's figures gradually began to fade, disappearing within the Spiritual Space.
Naruto stood desolately in place.
"Aomi brother, will I be able to see dad and mom again?"
"Aomi brother, what kind of person should I become? How should I view the village, and everything that has happened to me?"
Naruto's eyes were filled with immense confusion, urgently needing Aomi to provide him an answer!
