Chapter 163 Return
Minato didn't have deep feelings for Naruto in this world.
The reason he took care of the other party was partly because Naruto could indeed be considered his son in a certain sense.
On the other hand, it also stems from a sense of shared sorrow.
But to be honest, Naruto's personality isn't his type.
It's not because she's cheerful, but because she's too much of a saint and always blindly forgives others.
Perhaps it is indeed as some online sources have suggested, that it was influenced by Ashura's chakra.
It was for this reason that Minato made up his mind after meeting Naruto.
When his child is born, he will definitely have a thorough check-up. Even if it means fighting the Sage of Six Paths, he will not allow any external chakra to interfere with his child.
As for the benefits brought by these two types of chakra, once the Rinnegan is activated, Minato Namikaze can provide the same advantages that the Sage of Six Paths could provide!
Arriving in the Land of Wind, all that remains of Loulan in this world is ruins.
Minato arrived at the palace that sealed the dragon vein with practiced ease and casually resealed it.
As the dragon vein was sealed, a glow appeared on his body.
A force from spacetime acted on Minato, and the surrounding scenery gradually disappeared from his sight.
The whistling wind blew past Minato's ears, and when the surrounding scenery reappeared, Minato found himself in the desert he had left in before.
"I'm back!"
Almost instantly, Minato clearly sensed the Flying Thunder God Mark he had left in the Land of Rain.
He then created a wooden clone to search for Yahiko, while his main body quickly returned to Konoha.
He didn't rush to see Tsunade and the others, but went to the Hokage's office building first.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Oh! Minato, you're finally back!"
Upon learning of Minato's return, Hiruzen Sarutobi eagerly greeted him, asking, "Where have you been all this time?"
"By some twist of fate, I ended up in a parallel world and just got back."
Minato casually asked, "How long have I been gone?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi calculated: "If we count from when you left the village, it's been about a month."
Minato nodded in understanding. From this perspective, the time flow in the two worlds is roughly the same, only with a certain time difference.
"I also learned from Tsunade that you might have accidentally gotten lost in another dimension. I didn't expect it to be a parallel world?"
Seeing Minato return unharmed, Hiruzen Sarutobi was in high spirits. He lit his pipe and asked with great interest, "Could you tell me what parallel worlds are like?"
Are you sure you want to listen?
Minato looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a half-smile.
Seeing Minato's expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat: "Am I some kind of villain, old man?"
"That's not necessarily true—"
Minato shook his head and chuckled: "Overall, in the world I went to, people's personalities and life experiences were exactly the same as in our world, but time was more than twenty years ahead of our time."
"So, you're going to the future, right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
"No, I didn't have a bloodline limit in that world. I became the Fourth Hokage in my early twenties just by using the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Is that so? Hahaha, as expected of you!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily: "And what about me? Am I still alive in that world?"
"I'm still alive, but the me in that world is dead."
Minato shook his head regretfully: "Before he died, he sealed the Nine-Tails into his newborn son, Naruto Uzumaki, and entrusted his son to you in another world to take care of. But for some reason, Naruto's true identity was concealed, while his identity as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki became known to everyone."
"That child grew up in the hatred and bullying of people. I couldn't bear it, so I went to the Third Hokage of that world to demand an explanation. But he told me that Minato was a war hero and that he was afraid someone would seek revenge on Naruto."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "————"
Good, good, no wonder this kid came to me the moment he got back!
"Ahem—well, everyone's experience is different. It seems that I in that world have forgotten my original intentions."
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment: "But Minato, don't worry, that's just another world after all."
"Yes, but I am still very moved, and I can't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow."
Minato said in a low voice, "This also proves that my view of the village has always been correct."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine.
Although they knew that Minato didn't particularly like them, this was the first time he had made that thought out of the blue.
He's genuinely worried that Minato might get upset and leave Konoha, thus confirming his betrayal of the village.
"Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you."
Minato shook his head. At least in this world, Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite kind to him.
Moreover, he knew that the third generation was the kind of person who was soft-hearted but had terrible abilities.
He's not bad, he's just really bad!
In Naruto's era, the village really had no one else to rely on. If they didn't keep Naruto firmly under their control, Danzo might even dare to shit on Hiruzen Sarutobi's head!
Moreover, the act of four generations committing suicide for love is indeed too abstract—
While Minato couldn't empathize with the Third Hokage in the parallel world, he could understand it, because from a political perspective, regardless of whether it was the Third Hokage's idea or not, doing so was perfectly justifiable.
"I just have some mixed feelings—"
Minato paused for a moment: "Also, because of this incident, I made up my mind to become Hokage. At least having this position in my own hands makes me feel more at ease."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "————"
How should I put it?
Minato wanted to become Hokage, and he was very happy.
But it is precisely because of this distrust that—
Well, whatever the reason, as long as Minato is willing to take over, he's already very content.
In Konoha today, apart from Minato, no one can take on the position of Fourth Hokage.
Minato was a disciple of Tsunade, and was a disciple of her disciple.
He was on good terms with Orochimaru and was a close friend of the First Hokage's grandson.
One of his two girlfriends is a Jinchuriki, and the other is the pride of the Uchiha clan, a notorious troublemaker. He is essentially the son-in-law of both the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans.
Whether considering his personal abilities or his network of connections, he is the perfect choice to become Hokage.
Orochimaru wouldn't have listened to anyone else, not even Tsunade or Jiraiya.
Jiraiya will probably just pack up and continue searching for his prophesied child.
As for Tsunade, she doesn't even respect herself as her teacher, let alone the others.
"Whatever you want, that's fine."
Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a rebellious kid who had gone out and made his way in the world, only to return and inherit the family business.
"There's one more thing. I plan to take over the Hokage position before I turn fifteen," Minato added.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "???"
How about I die now and make room for you?
