Chapter 125, Part 1!
"Are you alright?"
When the wooden dragon began to emit a red light, Minato realized that something was wrong.
He then instantly teleported to Kushina's side and forcefully pulled her out of the explosion's epicenter.
Oh, you're asking why Minato was able to teleport to Kushina's side?
Nonsense, we're an old married couple, what's wrong with having each other's marks on us?
Actually, Minato secretly engraved the Flying Thunder God mark on Kushina's third unit.
Kurama: Minato Namikaze, you're so scheming! Are you trying to fill Naruto's stomach with your seals?!
"N-nothing...no, wait, my Scarlet Pepper!"
Girls often like to give their things nicknames, and Kushina was no exception.
"Uh, sorry, I didn't have time."
Minato put Kushina down from his arms and scratched his head awkwardly.
"Waaaaah, I can't continue competing."
Kushina pretended to wipe her eyes, while secretly glancing at Minato.
"It's okay, I won't run anymore."
Minato's meaning is clear: he wants to end the match with Kushina.
However, that's not what Kushina wanted when she made that move.
"Okay! I'll be going now."
Kushina boarded Minato's No. 4 machine directly, and then rode away to Minato's speechless and predictable expression.
"Don't worry, I will definitely win the championship!"
Kushina waved to Minato, then chains extended from behind her, pulling Unit-04 away.
"Hey, my super dazzling four-step waltz!"
Minato watched Kushina ride away on her mount, his expression a little helpless, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Okay, I'll go to the finish line and wait for them.
No, you don't really think Minato only left one mark at the finish line, do you?
It's important to know that Kurama only discovered the spare markings for the Water Gate.
However, Minato didn't intend to win directly using this method.
Meanwhile, in the distance, at the site where Haxi Hot Mom's Sky Dragon crashed, a battle between a human and a fox began.
The reason was that Hashirama discovered that his mount was running out of energy, so he wanted to secretly infuse it with his own chakra.
Then, how could the Nine-Tails, as a fair and impartial referee, sit idly by?
So a fight broke out between them.
"Hashirama, let go of my tail!"
"Nine-Tails, let go of my pants!"
They got so into the game that they weren't even putting in any effort, but they were having so much fun that they stopped following the match.
As the race neared its end, Naruto leisurely enjoyed the wind blowing past him. Ah, invincibility is truly lonely.
Then, Unit-05's body suddenly flashed, a shield of light appeared beside it, and then Naruto and the unit disappeared from the spot.
Huh?
A chain was stuck into the ground where Naruto had just been standing.
"Hey, where are you?! Mom's here!"
Looking back, I saw my mother riding my father's horse, catching up with me.
No way, Dad, you just gave the ride to Mom like that?!
Naruto's lips twitched, and then he pressed the Hashirama Missile No. 1 again without hesitation.
The familiar explosion sounded, but this time Unit 4 disappeared from its original spot and reappeared in a safe place.
Hmph, how could I not have anticipated this move?
During the years Minato was inside Naruto's belly, he wasn't addicted to games like Hashirama and Kushina. Instead, he was seriously researching the Flying Thunder God Technique and constantly innovating.
After all, if I had had the current research results back then, Kushina wouldn't have died that night.
Looking at the dusty water gate in the distance, he smiled first, then slowly recalled that night.
It's still early. In a few more years, when Naruto grows up, he can go and find the masked man's trail.
"Achoo!"
"Lord Obito, are you alright?"
"I asked worriedly."
"fine."
Obito was also puzzled. Why did he sneeze for no reason? With his current physical condition, he could laugh naked for an hour without any problems, so why would he sneeze?
"Let's add an extra blanket when we sleep at night."
Mizuki suggested.
"...OK."
The scene returns to the final stage, where Kushina, thanks to the Flying Thunder God buff from Unit-04, dodges Hashirama's No. 1 missile and continues to relentlessly pursue him.
The pump inside Unit 5's body emitted a powerful heartbeat sound. Strange, how could chakra make such a sound?
However, Naruto did hear that sound.
It felt like I was standing next to a big fox.
Kurama, who was fighting Hashirama on the ground in the distance, suddenly released his grip on Hashirama's pants, raised his fox head and looked towards Naruto, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Didn't expect it to succeed so soon?
"Hey, Kurama, what's wrong?"
Hashirama originally wanted to continue teasing Kurama, but seeing Kurama's serious expression, he stopped.
"Naruto, you've resonated with my chakra."
Nine-Tails's mouth moved, and he uttered these words.
A look of surprise flashed in Hashirama's eyes at first, then turned to understanding.
"Hahaha, as expected of my disciple."
He laughed happily.
"Hey, it's clearly because of the chemistry between me and Naruto that he was able to connect so early!"
Nine-Tails looked at the useless vegetable with dissatisfaction; it was all his own doing.
"I don't care, take this!"
Hashirama sidestepped and bumped into Kurama.
Another round of playful fighting ensued.
At this moment, Naruto's consciousness entered the chakra released by Kurama. Shedding its violent exterior, warm golden chakra appeared before Naruto.
"Is this Kurama's true chakra?"
Naruto reached out and touched the warm chakra, which then turned into a liquid that enveloped him.
A golden tailed beast cloak appeared on Naruto's body outside, and at this moment Naruto (Nine-Tails Chakra) was achieved!
(Kurama's connection to Naruto's current body is not strong enough to withstand it.)
Kushina was shocked when she looked into Naruto's eyes.
Holy crap, Naruto is so young and he can already open it?
It was so "laborious" for me to extract chakra from Kurama back then, but Naruto is being treated too well.
Kushina was envious, but this was her own son, so she was mostly happy.
Golden chakra enveloped Naruto and Unit-05, and its speed surged rapidly, making it the third golden flash in this match!
"I won!"
In the end, Naruto unsurprisingly won first place, but when he saw Minato clapping and laughing, his mind went blank.
"Huh? Huh!"
"It's okay, Naruto, I've already withdrawn from the tournament, so it's fine."
Yay!
Ultimately, the competition ended with Naruto coming in first, Kushina in second, and the other three failing to achieve any results.
And childhood has come to an end!
There's no time to mourn childhood! Next up is—graduation time!!!
