If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

"Hmm? Nagato, why did you come out? Is the seal situation a bit complicated? How did it get unlocked and sealed again?"

Kakashi had already been paying attention to Naruto's situation next to him. If the Nine-Tails rioted, he and Daito would naturally have to help Nagato.

"Oh... there is still a hidden hand left in this seal. Now that Naruto has met his father, I will step out and leave them alone to give them some private space."

"Nagato...you really...I'm crying!"

Dai Tu patted Nagato's shoulder. No wonder Nagato was liked by so many sisters. He was so delicate!

"Naruto... met his father?"

Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other in a daze.

"Minato-sensei?"

Kakashi's heart was beating faster too.

The teacher won’t blame me for Naruto’s condition, right?

In Naruto's consciousness space.

Boom!

A silent crash sounded.

Minato held his stomach and couldn't help but cough.

Although both of them are conscious beings, conscious beings can collide with each other. (Don't think about the collision between Kushina and Naruto! I'm serious here! Very serious!)

Minato felt the pain coming from his stomach and looked at Naruto with a wry smile.

"dad..."

Naruto's tears could no longer stop rolling down, and his clothes, which were almost fading from washing, were instantly soaked by his tears.

"Why did you seal the Nine-Tails into my son?"

There was a tremor in Naruto's words.

"Thanks to you, I have really suffered a lot!"

His hoarse voice with a crying tone conveyed his strong emotional fluctuations.

"Because of the Nine-Tails, everyone in the village treated me coldly. Everyone said that I was the reincarnation of a demon fox. I always thought that I had no father and mother!"

"It was difficult for me to have a friend since I was a child. Even though I tried hard, no one was willing to agree with me!"

"I finally passed the Ninja School exam, met Iruka-sensei, met Kakashi-sensei, and had two companions, Sasuke and Sakura... Now I have a chance to break away from my identity as a demon fox, I... I..."

Naruto covered his face, and although he couldn't stop the tears from flowing, he couldn't feel any resentment towards his father.

"I don't know whether I should cry or laugh now!"

Minato listened to Naruto's words and placed his hand on his head with mixed feelings.

Feeling his son's current mood, Minato patted his head.

"Naruto... don't blame father... the situation was very complicated..."

"On the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, a mysterious masked man appeared... I didn't kill him. For your safety, I had to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox in your body... But my original intention was to make you a hero in the village..."

Minato sighed. He never expected that his child had suffered so much injustice over the years.

But when he said this, his eyes became stern.

"Who was that man just now?"

"he?"

Naruto thought of Nagato.

"That big brother came to help me remove the seal. He was willing to help me release the Nine-Tails in my body. Because of the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra over the years, my body needs to consume several times more energy than others no matter what ninjutsu I practice..."

Minato's frown deepened upon hearing this.

“Is this a village decision?”

Minato made this guess because he saw the red hair on Nagato's head.

"No...it was my decision."

When Minato heard this, he stopped talking and looked at Naruto with a smile.

"Since it's your choice, I think you must have made a decision."

Naruto was a little confused.

"Aren't you going to ask? After all, you went through so much trouble to seal the Kyuubi inside me."

Minato smiled with relief.

"I believe you."

Looking at Minato's eyes slightly curved into a crescent shape, Naruto's pupils couldn't help but shrink violently.

Is this...is this...the feeling of being recognized?

“No matter where you are, you should always firmly believe in your children.”

"After all... that's what parents are like."

Minato's voice was as gentle as water, but it stirred up waves of shock in Naruto's heart.

"I can feel that the chakra I have left is slowly dwindling. So Naruto! It's time for me to leave too."

Minato stared at Naruto with reluctance, trying to remember every detail of him from head to toe.

Naruto was stunned at first, then quickly spoke to stop him: "What? Wait! Wait a minute!"

However, Minato's disappearance was no longer under control, and his figure slowly dissipated in this space.

Naruto looked at Minato's gradually disappearing figure, his eyes determined, and shouted: "Thank you! Dad! I will never let you down!"

In the sealed space, Nagato appeared again.

Feeling the strange chakra fluctuation disappear, he immediately entered Naruto's consciousness space again. (I originally wrote "inside the body", but I was afraid that you would think wrongly. You have been making me impure recently.)

Deep in the sealed space, the Nine-Tailed Fox also began to bar its teeth in vigilance.

Although he could sense a certain amount of kindness in Nagato, it wasn't much.

Moreover, he had good intentions just now, but now he has some malicious intent.

"Sure enough, humans are good at disguise!"

Naruto saw Nagato appear again, and he was very touched by the private space that Nagato had just created for him and his father.

"Thank you, Nagato-sama, for letting me meet my father."

Naruto’s thoughts now are very simple. If it weren’t for the older brother in front of him, perhaps he would never see his father in this life?

The corners of Nagato's mouth moved slightly, but no sound came out for a long time.

This child...

So easy to satisfy...

That's right...I lost my parents and my clan members at a young age...

"It's okay. When you go to the Empire, you can live in the home of Minato-san and Kushina. They don't see Akito for years, so they will definitely be very happy if you can go."

Faced with Nagato's invitation, he was at a loss for a moment.

If it were before, he would have refused without hesitation. Going to the empire? Impossible!

But after seeing his father, he was struggling internally. Is it necessary for him to become Hokage again and get everyone's recognition?

That world seems to be beautiful, with the family love that I have always longed for...

And now his father has recognized him and firmly believed in him, that's enough...

Without Jiraiya's training and the subsequent further bonds, Naruto's current will is just the addition of the third generation.

He did not have such a deep understanding of the word "bond".

"How can other people's parents be nice to other people's children? I...I will not betray the village!"

Naruto spoke with a choked face.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever he played with other children, no matter what others gave him, it would always be discovered and taken away violently by their parents where they could not see.

Not only that, they will also be told by their families not to play with them.

Mingren's parents are not Naruto's parents, they will definitely not be nice to him!

Yes! Don't be brainwashed! I am Uzumaki Naruto! I want to be the Hokage!

Even if I am really taken to their empire due to force majeure, I will endure hardships, go undercover, and find a way to save Konoha!
