"I'm sorry for waking you up, Naruto...."

Kushina, who mistakenly thought that Naruto had been disturbed by her, ignored her own miserable condition and apologized to Naruto immediately.

Then she turned to look at Minato:

"Let's contain the Kyuubi like this..."

"Because the Nine Tails has just been separated from my body, I can still forcibly continue the symbiotic relationship with it through the King Kong Blockade...."

"As long as the Nine Tails fails to break free from my King Kong blockade before I die, it will die too..."

"The village now has no jinchūriki strong enough to withstand the Kyuubi...."

"Using my death to delay its resurrection is the last thing I can do to help you, Minato."

Kushina, who was already extremely weak, said intermittently, looking at Minato with eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me~"

At this point, Kushina's eyes curved into crescents, revealing a bright smile, as if she was happy that she could help Minato. The blood that kept flowing from the corners of her mouth made this scene look extremely sad and beautiful.

"Kushina, because���With your encouragement and companionship, I can fulfill my dream and become the Fourth Hokage..."

"Because of your infinite love, I can be a husband and a father!"

"But I..."

At this point, Minato's voice was already trembling.

"Minato, don't look like that...."

"Because you love me, I am always happy. Besides, today is Naruto's birthday.~"

"I really want to know what Naruto will look like when he grows up...."

Kushina spoke intermittently, her consciousness began to blur and her voice became erratic.

"Kushina, as a member of the Uzumaki clan, there is no need for you to die with the Kyuubi!"

"I will use your remaining chakra to let you see Naruto!"

Minato, who had already burst into tears, seemed to have made some determination.

"Eh?"

Kushina was a little confused after hearing this.

"I will seal your remaining chakra into Naruto and combine it with the Bagua seal!"

"Besides, I will take care of the Kyuubi!"

Minato wiped away his tears. Having made up his mind, his tone became more firm.

"The Nine-Tails' power is too great. Without the Jinchūriki, it cannot be suppressed by physical means, not even with the combined strength of an entire village."

"And once the nine tails are lost, the balance of tailed beasts maintained by the Fire Country and other countries will be broken instantly!"

"The war that just ended may be started again!"

"Therefore, next I will use the Ghoul Seal to permanently seal half of the Kyuubi's power, and then seal the other half of the power into Naruto through the Bagua Seal!"

"Because Teacher Jiraiya once said that the ninja world in the future will fall into an unprecedented disaster!"

"And I have always believed that Naruto is the prophesied son who saves the world!"

Minato told him all about his next plan, which is why he brought Kushina and Naruto here.

"ah?"

Kushina was shocked when she heard this.

She never thought that in order for her to see the future Naruto and to prevent Konoha from losing the Nine-Tails, Minato would actually use the Uzumaki clan's forbidden sealing technique!

That once If you cast it, your soul, together with the enemy, will be sacrificed to the god of death and the ghoul will be banned!

"I have just determined two things"

"The masked man who attacks you will definitely bring bloodshed to the entire world!"

"And the only one who can stop him is our children!"

"I believe in Naruto, he will open up a future full of peace and hope as a jinchuriki!"

As he said this, Minato gently put down Naruto in his arms.

Naruto, who was watching the whole process, had already burst into tears!

【Sorry, Dad!】

【In the more distant future that even the Great Toad Immortal could not predict, I failed to fulfill your expectations!】

【It even takes my child, your grandson Boruto, to go to the battlefield and fight to the death! 】

Hearing personally the high hopes his father placed on him, Naruto felt filled with self-blame

【hateful...】

【If I work harder, if I am stronger, Boruto's life doesn't need to be so hard, and Kurama and Sasuke may not die!】

"But Watergate..."

Realizing that Minato was about to sacrifice his life, Kushina hurriedly tried to stop him.

Before she could finish, Minato, who had put Naruto down, had already completed the seal with his hands in an instant.

Si-Hai-Wei-Mao-Xu-Zi-You-Wu-Si!

""Sealing Technique: Sealing the Shiki!"

Instantly, a huge Grim Reaper that only Minato could see appeared behind him!

The Grim Reaper was ten meters tall, holding a rosary in his left hand, and a sharp dagger in his green-faced, fanged mouth.

Over his hideous purple skin, he was wearing a pale robe, and the ends of his long white hair that was flying all over the sky tightly entangled the arms of Minato's soul.

It was like a martyr tied to a cross!

At this moment, the contract was made!

Even if Minato did nothing next, the Grim Reaper would ruthlessly harvest his soul.

He had no way out!

"Believe in Naruto, he is our two children!"

"Once the Shikigami Sealing is complete, I will seal your chakra into Naruto."

"I hope you can help him when he tries to control the Nine-Tails as a jinchuriki in the future!"

Minato, who successfully activated the technique, said with great determination.

"But..."

"Just because he is our son, I don't want him to become a Jinchuuriki and bear such a heavy responsibility!"

Kushina, who knew she was powerless to stop her, looked at Naruto lying on the ground and burst into tears.

"Besides, why use the Ghoul Seal! You can still live!"

"Just for such a short time to let me see what Naruto will look like when he grows up?"

"does it worth?"

"You could have accompanied Naruto as he grew up normally, and protected him when he needed care the most!"

"When he was laughed at by his peers for not having a mother, at least he had a father that he was proud of!"

"He already lost his mother, so he shouldn't lose his father again!"

Kushina suddenly raised her head and asked Minato loudly

"A Jinchuuriki who loses the care of his parents just after he is born, how miserable the future will be!"

"Does Naruto have to be sacrificed for the sake of the country, the village, and the so-called balance of the tailed beasts?"

"Even you have to die for it!"

Speaking of this, Kushina was already bursting into tears.

"Kushina..."

"Abandoning the country, abandoning the village, in my opinion, is the same as abandoning a child"

"You, whose motherland was destroyed, should have a deep understanding of this, right?..."

"What a cruel life people who have subjugated their country will be forced to live. You don’t want the homeland we protect together to suffer this kind of suffering, right?..."

"What's more, our family is all ninjas!"

Faced with Kushina's question, Minato replied in a serious tone.

Then he changed the subject and spread his hands pretending to be relaxed:"Also, as long as I live, I can't defeat you.~"

"Eh?"

Kushina was a little confused when she heard this.

"Although your time as a mother was very short, what you taught Naruto is far beyond my reach, and that is the responsibility of being a mother!"

"As a father, I can willingly die for my children. This is also my duty as a father!"

Minato said while holding Naruto who was lying on the ground in his arms.

He and Kushina looked at each other, and there was a firmness and determination in their eyes!
