"Is this... the Empire?"

A mysterious and vast space is sealed in Mingren's body. Minato stood aside, staring at the warm picture of family reunion in front of him. A ripple appeared in his heart, and he opened his lips slightly and whispered softly.

His eyes revealed a little surprise and confusion, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Yes, most families in the Empire are like this."

Akito smiled and responded to Minato's question calmly.

His eyes swept over his family, as if he had long been accustomed to such scenes.

Hearing Mingren's words, Minato frowned slightly and fell into deeper contemplation.

"Most families... are like this?"

He murmured to himself, with a hint of shock in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

From Mingren's natural words, it can be inferred that this is not a lie, but a real and common phenomenon.

Thinking back to when I was in Konoha, I seemed to...

Even going home for a meal is a luxury, right?

Is it the difference of the times, or the difference of the world?

Is the Empire... really better than their own world?

But in their world, at least the family can sit together and have a meal happily!

Just when Minato was still frantically analyzing and thinking, a gentle female voice came: "Akito, how about going to fight in the 64th Ninja World? Did you encounter any danger?"

Kushinna asked about her son's situation with concern.

Facing his mother's caring greetings, Akito smiled brightly and said confidently: "Danger? Haha, for them, I am the biggest danger!"

His words were full of pride and fearlessness. Not to mention in the Empire, at least on the battlefield of the 64th Ninja World, he was invincible.

"You don't know who I met this time."

"In addition to the Six Paths Sage, I also met the successive Hokage of Konoha, including the First Hokage! You may not believe it, but he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and also possessed a Samsara Eye!"

"But he and I were in a close fight, haha!"

Akito had a smug smile on his face, and couldn't wait to open his mouth and start showing off to everyone: "Haha, let me tell you, this mission is so thrilling! But, with my genius intelligence and strong strength, it's nothing!"

As he spoke, Akito deliberately straightened his chest, as if he had become a great hero who saved the world.

Minato, who was standing next to him, smiled and clapped his hands, his eyes full of praise: "Good job, Akito! You are worthy of being my son, you are really amazing!"

Hearing his father's praise, Akito's tail was almost up to the sky.

Kushina also smiled and nodded gently, expressing her recognition of Mingren: "Yes, Mingren is really great! You must keep working hard and never let down the emperor and everyone's expectations of you!"

However, at this moment, Naruto suddenly jumped out and exposed Mingren's lies: "Hey, Mingren, stop bragging! Zuosuke didn't say that! He told me that he was the one fighting hard all the time, and you were just helping him and helping him!"

After being told this by Naruto, Mingren was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and smiled indifferently.

"Zazhu, this stuffy guy, he said he was me, you just met him, you can ask anyone in the empire and know that Zuosuke is not my opponent."

Mingren's words were full of pride and pride.

Mingren was not angry with Zuosuke in his heart, even if the other party said so behind him. After all, he had long been accustomed to Zuosuke's taciturn and slightly arrogant character.

Then, Naruto frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, as if he remembered something important.

After a moment, he raised his head, his expression became very solemn, and he slowly said: "By the way, Mingren, I heard that you met the successive Hokage when you were on the mission... Is there also... the Fourth Hokage among them?"

After saying this, Naruto stared at Mingren, as if he wanted to get the answer from his eyes.

Once upon a time, becoming a Hokage was the supreme dream in his heart, and it was also the grand goal he worked hard and pursued.

However, since stepping into this mysterious and powerful empire, the once burning dream of Hokage has gradually cooled down, as if it was extinguished by an invisible force.

At this moment, he began to think: Why must I prove my value and role to others? Why do I have to seek recognition from the outside world?It is enough to get the love and support of his parents, especially his dear father and mother, and the recognition of the close friends around him!

Now he no longer asks for more, but only hopes to be a good student with excellent character and learning, a well-behaved and sensible child, and even a filial and obedient... good son!

For example, waking up every morning and seeing his parents' faces full of happy smiles, just because his small actions can make them laugh, this is what he is most satisfied with.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people.

When he accidentally learned about his biological father, his heart was like a storm, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

For a while, he fell into a trance and indecisive state.

"Well, including the Fourth Hokage."

Akito opened his mouth and then put down his chopsticks.

Minato looked at Naruto with a little worry.

Although Kushina was still looking for other topics with a carefree look, her eyes still couldn't stop scanning Naruto, fearing that his emotions would become too extreme.

"What kind of person is he?"

Naruto's voice gradually became heavy, as if he was shrouded by an invisible pressure, and he seemed a little silent and low.

At this moment, his heart was filled with deep fear and uneasiness.

When he thought of Uchiha Itachi, the powerful existence who was Sasuke's brother, Naruto couldn't help but feel a chill rising from his spine.

Uchiha Itachi's cold and ruthless image lingered in his mind, making him involuntarily start to worry about his father.

Perhaps his father was also an extremely evil person like Uchiha Itachi? This possibility made Naruto shudder.

However, another voice in his heart quietly sounded: Maybe things are not so simple... But if not, why would he be hated by everyone?

Is it just because the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is sealed in his body? Or is there a deeper reason behind this?

Also, why did his father hide the fact that he was the son of the Hokage?

If the villagers of Konoha Village knew his true identity, would he be able to avoid the endless bullying and ridicule when he was a child?

These questions were like a tangled mess in Naruto's mind, making him more confused and painful the more he thought about it.
