Naruto’s pent-up frustration finally broke through at that moment.

"Why! Why did you put the Nine-Tails inside me!"

At this moment, the Fourth Hokage’s face showed a hint of guilt.

"Even now, I can only set aside a father’s pride and apologize to you... I’m sorry I didn’t give you the best memories after you were born, but instead added so much pain to your life... "

"The rampage of the Nine-Tails that day was completely beyond our expectations..."

Before he could finish speaking, a giant red vertical eye appeared behind the two.

"Roar~ Talking about others behind their backs will get you eaten!"

A figure long unseen appeared next to the father and son.

However, its face was fierce and menacing.

Clearly, it intended to harm Naruto and the Fourth Hokage!

Naruto immediately became alert, spreading his arms and legs, ready to have a big fight with the Nine-Tails.

But unexpectedly, the Fourth Hokage waved his hand casually.

Two giant red torii gates descended from the sky and crashed to the ground with a rumble.

Naruto’s inner world rippled gently.

These two torii gates were like shackles, firmly clamping onto the Nine-Tails’ neck.

The Nine-Tails immediately went berserk, trying to destroy the torii gates with its claws.

But the Fourth Hokage waved his hand casually again, and countless torii gates rained down from the sky, pinning the Nine-Tails’ limbs.

The Nine-Tails was already in a state of fury, its entire body’s chakra surging, burning like flames on its surface.

But no matter how much the Nine-Tails struggled, it couldn’t escape the restraint of the torii gates.

Naruto looked at his father’s actions, somewhat stunned.

The Fourth Hokage said with a wry smile.

"Looks pretty strong, right...?

"This sealing jutsu is called the Reaper Death Seal, and anyone who uses it will surely pay a price... That’s why we father and son could never see each other..."

The Fourth Hokage wanted to continue, but while the Nine-Tails’ limbs were restrained, its nine tails were raised in the air, ready to attack the father and son at any moment.

"Minato! You’re talking about sealing me so lightly? Today, I’ll make you watch your son die before your very eyes!"

The Fourth Hokage’s expression gradually turned cold.

"Don’t disturb! Me and my son’s meeting!"

He said, waving his hands continuously.

In the sky, countless torii gates rained down, smashing onto the Nine-Tails’ tails.

The Nine-Tails’ nine tails were immediately shackled.

Numerous torii gates sealed them layer by layer like a cage, finally silencing the Nine-Tails.

After doing all this, the Fourth Hokage breathed a sigh of relief.

"Heh, I’m sorry, Naruto!

However, Naruto’s disposition had long been tempered, and he was somewhat more mature than his peers.

He had already rubbed his eyes, wiped away all the tears on his face, leaving only the traces of tears from fighting.

Naruto said stubbornly.

"I endured all of this, who made me the Fourth Hokage’s son!"

Before the Fourth Hokage could respond, Naruto continued to speak on his own.

"Actually, many times I feel very happy!"

"I learned from Kakashi-sensei how to focus on my ninja way, and I made all sorts of friends while carrying out missions, including one guy who never sleeps... he’s also a Jinchuriki!"

"And also! There’s a brother named Hatake Satoru who always took good care of me, treating me like both a teacher and a friend..."

The Fourth Hokage was stunned for a moment, then his face immediately showed a relieved smile filled with apology.

Naruto’s joy and suffering, as a father, he hadn’t been able to accompany Naruto through it all!

But then the Fourth Hokage gradually let go.

He wanted to use these few short minutes to hear Naruto talk about what he had experienced during his absence.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Nine-Tails and Gyuki was gradually entering a terrifying state.

In the sky, the giant tailed beasts had pierced each other’s bodies with all their tails.

It wasn’t just close combat.

The two tailed beasts held their Tailed Beast Bombs in their mouths, and the chakra gathered at the peak of the blue sky, the energy in the sky ready to erupt at any moment.

Jiraiya’s expression immediately became tense.

Not only that, but the entire Konoha village was in a state of panic.

Jiraiya couldn’t help but urge Satoru.

"I say, if we don’t intervene soon, these two tailed beasts will probably destroy the entire ninja world, you know!"

Satoru smiled and waved his hand dismissively, indicating there was no need to worry.

Just then, Hatake Satoru, who was observing the battle in the sky, frowned.

Yamato and his men rushed out from the forest.

Captain Yamato’s eyes fell upon the devastated Konoha village, and an unknown mixture of anger, sorrow, and countless complex emotions welled up within him.

He also heard the shouts of his subordinates. He turned his head and immediately saw Satoru calmly watching the fight from a branch, and shouted excitedly.

"Satoru-kun, it’s great that you’re here! Come and help me stop Naruto!"

Satoru was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with a smile.

"If it were any other time, I’d help you, but this time I don’t want Naruto to miss this opportunity for growth!"

Yamato was floored.

He and Satoru had known each other for a long time and knew Satoru’s character well.

But now Satoru was ignoring the village.

At that moment, Yamato couldn’t worry about anything else and immediately shouted.

"Sealing Force! Prepare seals!"

Hatake Satoru’s eyes narrowed. Judging by the current level of confrontation between Gyuki and the Nine-Tails, it was catastrophic.

If Yamato rushed into the battle in a panic like this, he would likely be caught in the crossfire of the tailed beast war.

Satoru immediately shouted.

"Yamato, this is a battle between two top-tier tailed beasts, not something mortals can interfere with!"

Yamato naturally knew the terrifying power of such a battle, but he didn’t respond. Instead, he directly rushed to the feet of the two tailed beasts and began to form seals!

This was Yamato’s ninja way!

"Hokage-style Sensory Perception Jutsu! Heavenly Prison Hand!"

The word "座" appeared on Yamato’s palm, a ninjutsu meant to force Naruto and even the Nine-Tails into slumber.

Hatake Satoru’s lips curved slightly, revealing a warm smile.

"Yamato, you seem to be late!"

As he spoke, Yamato also froze in place.

In mid-air, the chakra energy around Naruto’s body rapidly dissipated.

The long-lost bones covering Naruto’s body quickly vanished, and the chakra tails inserted into Gyuki’s body were all withdrawn.

A giant Uzumaki symbol appeared on Naruto’s stomach, clearly a powerful seal unique to the Uzumaki Clan.

But Yamato’s sealing jutsu hadn’t even been cast yet.

Jiraiya’s mouth hung open in shock, his eyes wide, his jaw dropping to the floor.

"The chakra was absorbed by Naruto!"
