Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

When Naruto got into the state and saw that he was completely fine, Minato stopped staring at him.

When I returned to Chi Qing and saw his inquiring eyes, I nodded and said, "Naruto is fine." He smiled and said, "You taught him well and he has grown into an excellent ninja."

Chi Qing couldn't help showing pride on his face, but he still said modestly: "Little Naruto inherited the genes of his brother and sister-in-law. He is very good, and he is the one who has been taking care of me."

"Naruto's situation is special. Considering your situation back then, it must have been very difficult for you to keep him by your side." Minato hugged his grown-up brother: "Thank you. You have been working hard all the time."

He patted the young man on the back gently: "I'm back."

The last sentence was what Chi Qing had been waiting for for almost sixteen years.

"Welcome back, Brother Shuimen." The feeling of an elder coming back made Chi Qing's years of anxiety completely dissipate at this moment.

"Brother, what are your plans next? Do you want to hide first?"

"I plan to act in secret first. I have learned about Akatsuki from Teacher Jiraiya. We all suspect that Pain is not the boss behind Akatsuki. I want to investigate it myself."

"Regarding this matter... Actually, there is someone else behind the scenes." Chi Qing handed the latest letter he received to Minato to read.

Minato quickly scanned the contents and looked up at Chi Qing in shock: "This..."

Chi Qing nodded: "With them outside, Brother Shuimen can rest assured."

"Will what you know backfire on you?" This is what Minato is worried about.

From the Nine-Tail incident, he had guessed something.

Does Chi Qing, who possesses this ability, need to pay the same price?

What's the cost?

Chi Qing shook his head: "No, but I have tried to stop it, and the result is that what was supposed to happen will happen in another way, and the ending will not change, so even if I know it in advance, I can only try my best to minimize the damage, or make timely repairs at the last moment, and then cheat the "ending" at that time."

&34;Is that why you use this method to let things proceed along the original trajectory?&34; Minato thought about how desperate he would be if he tried to change it knowing the outcome, but the result was still the same.

He was once again thankful that he was saved by Chi Qing: "By the way, the Eight-Tails was captured by members of the Akatsuki organization, and the Hidden Cloud Village sent a letter to convene a Five Kage meeting..."

Just then, a cat jumped in from the window, with a little turtle curled up on its body.

"Welcome back." He caught the cat that jumped towards him.

The turtle on the cat had been shaken off his body by him as soon as they came in.

Minato looked at the little turtle with a peculiar appearance, and his eyes twitched. He picked it up and took a closer look, confirming that it was the Three-Tailed Turtle: "Where did this come from?"

"I got it here when I was on a mission before. I've kept it for several years in the pond in the backyard. Today I just remembered that the pond was gone, so I asked Maomao to find it back. Where did you find it?" Shen Qing kissed Maomao on the nose.

"It dug a hole for itself when it sensed danger." Maomi glanced at Minato and answered, licking Chi Qing's lips as a reward: "I'll go find it and it crawled out by itself."

&34;That&34;s clever.&;

Hearing the praise, the little turtle stretched out its head, shook it, and then retracted it into its shell.

"I sealed the tailed beast power in him, but I didn't restrict him. If he uses more than a certain amount of chakra, he will be exposed." "With the character of the three-tailed beast, he wants to live comfortably and freely like this, and he will never expose himself easily."

"What about this cat?" Minato inexplicably thought of the two-tailed cat.

"He is my partner, are you ready to greet my brother?" Chi Qing raised the itachi.

After breaking free from Chi Qing's hand, the weasel sat upright in front of Minato and said, "Fourth-generation sir, when this is over, I will come to visit you in my original appearance and bring my father with me. I am sorry to see you in this manner now."

&34;Companion...partner.&34; This was a huge shock to Minato.
