Chapter 277 Family Reunion

The setting sun shines behind the couple, lengthening their shadows, and the warm red and quiet black extend forward, just like the silent love that comes like a tide.

Naruto was stunned for a moment. Since he could remember, he had never been looked at in such a way, let alone seen such a beautiful woman radiating the radiance of motherhood.

He did not know the woman, but he recognized the man who was a step behind her. He had seen this face thousands of times on the Hokage Rock, and after learning about his own life experience, he often imagined what he really looked like.

A sudden feeling of happiness enveloped Naruto, and facing the red light of the setting sun, his pupils were filled with warmth and warm tears flowed.

Naruto opened his mouth tremblingly, but was unable to shout out. Before he could say anything, he was hugged by the red-haired woman.

"Naruto, Naruto, it's my little Naruto..."

The woman's voice was excited and a little trembling. She didn't care about the occasion at all and hugged Naruto tightly.

Sasuke, who was just in the middle of a sparring match, was a little confused when he saw this scene. Kimimaro and others who were practicing in other areas of the training ground also looked over here curiously.

Namikaze Minato came to his wife and son, slowly squatted down, put his hands on his wife and son's shoulders, with a warm and sunny smile on his face. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and just listened to Kushina's constant whispering.

Naruto rested his little chin on Kushina's shoulder, feeling the warm big hands of the blond man, tears streaming down his face.

He looked at Lu Li who was walking towards him, "Brother Lu..."

"Naruto, these are your parents."

Lu Li helped Naruto confirm his guess, "Don't blame me for blaspheming them. I asked your teacher to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to find them from the underworld. I thought you might want to meet them."

Minato looked up at Lu Li, "As far as this matter is concerned, I really have to thank the second generation for developing the forbidden technique..."

He helped Kushina stand up, "Don't keep hugging Naruto, he's an excellent ninja now, and his friends are watching him."

But Kushina didn't care about all that. When she stood up, she directly picked up Naruto. Naruto was not even six years old yet and was very small, so it didn't seem very strange for him to be held by his mother.

"Well, it's none of your business. I want to bring back everything I haven't hugged in these years!"

Kushina glared at Minato unhappily, and Minato was so upset that he didn't dare to say anything, which showed his family status.

"Mom...are you my mom?"

Naruto was excited, but also embarrassed at the same time, because he felt like being publicly executed by his mother in front of Sasuke and the others.

"Yes, Naruto, I am your mother..."

Uzumaki Kushina said this, feeling confused, she thought that this wasn't right, there were a lot of photos of her and Minato in their house, as well as commemorative albums taken during her pregnancy.

Even if she and Minato hadn't had time to take a family photo of three, with so many photos at home, how could Naruto not recognize himself and Minato?
You have to know that they are dead people. When they are brought back to life by the Impure World Reincarnation, they maintain their appearance when they were alive and will not change because of the passage of time.

Lu Li also noticed the confused look on the Fourth Hokage's face and said, "Naruto only found out who his parents were a few days ago. You can ask Naruto for the details yourself."

It was not Minato's turn to speak, so Kushina asked Naruto with a serious expression. As Naruto answered innocently, Kushina's expression became more and more gloomy.

She turned to look at her embarrassed husband, "Is this the Konoha we fought so hard to protect? What the hell is that old man the Third Hokage doing!?"

"Kushina, don't get excited... maybe there's something behind this..."

Minato Namikaze was trying to explain for the Third Hokage, but the more he spoke, the smaller his voice became, and it seemed that his explanation didn't make sense.

The main reason is that he is a smart man, so he can better understand what is going on. The third generation simply thinks that this will allow the villagers to vent their anger and mentally control Naruto.

Of course he despised such behavior and would be angry if it happened to his own son, but the Third Hokage had done him a favor and he was the Fourth Hokage, so he had to think more from the perspective of the village.

And now he has also discovered his son's resentment towards Konoha, and feels that things are really troublesome. As a father and the Fourth Hokage, does he have to clean up the mess for the Third Hokage?

He wanted to reason with Naruto, but looking at Kushina's expression, not to mention whether Naruto would listen or not, his wife would beat him up first.

Thinking of this, Minato sighed in his heart, feeling that this was a difficult matter, and he could only let nature take its course and see what Naruto would think when he grew up.

Now that Lu Li has given them the opportunity to be members of a family, no matter what Lu Li's purpose is, he is naturally grateful in his heart. He does not want to think too much about utilitarian things for the time being and wants to enjoy the joy of being a member of a family first.

Due to the commotion caused by the arrival of Naruto's parents, today's training in the martial arts field ended early. Sasuke was even very arrogant and said that Naruto was so shameless that he still snuggled in his mother's arms at such a big age.

Naruto felt very embarrassed and angry when he heard this. After the excitement of seeing his parents, he went against his inner desire and separated from Kushina, saying that he was a ninja now and asked his mother not to look down on him.

In the evening, Orochimaru rarely ran out of the laboratory and had dinner with everyone in the cafeteria.

By the way, the person in charge of cooking was actually Kabuto Yakushi... He actually has good cooking skills.

Because the Sand Village's spy plan was exposed, he wasn't going anywhere for the time being. He spent all day helping Orochimaru with research and taking care of the children's daily life.

"I roughly understand the situation, Lu Jun, you said that the Akatsuki organization is preparing to collect the tailed beasts, and Naruto is also a target. There are only a few years left. What should we do?"

Minato said as the couple sat at the dining table with Lu Li and the others, while Naruto sat at the table with the children.

In the afternoon, when Kushina was hugging Naruto and asking about his well-being, he discussed the current situation in the Genin world with Lu Li. He roughly understood that now was not the time to worry about Lu Li's troubles in Konoha and the establishment of a new structure headed by the Uchiha, but to first care about the life and death of his eldest son.

The threat of the Akatsuki organization cannot be underestimated, but even with the careful teaching of the couple and Orochimaru, it would be impossible for a child like Naruto to become a powerful ninja in a few years.

"There's no need to worry too much about this. We can still buy a few more years to face future turmoil in the ninja world. After all, the Akatsuki organization may not be completely uncontrollable." Lu Li said vaguely after eating the sushi made by Koudou.

"Oh? Lu Jun, rather than how you want to deal with the organization, I'm more curious about why you want to go against Payne."

Orochimaru asked curiously.

"Against Payne?"

Lu Li shook his head, "I have no problem with him. To be honest, I think the dream of collecting nine tailed beasts to intimidate the five major nations and stop the war is quite reliable. When did I say I wanted to deal with Pain?"

Orochimaru was even more confused this time, and the Minato couple looked at Lu Li warily.

"Mr. Lu, if you don't deal with the Akatsuki, how are you going to protect Naruto and keep the Nine-Tails at bay?"

Orochimaru became more and more curious.

"Compared to the Akatsuki organization, you will find more threatening people in the future. Pein's ideal is not something perverted and difficult to understand. Assuming that the Jinchūriki has no relatives or friends with us, don't you want to see a world without war?"

Lu Li put down the fork in his hand, "Everyone present here is a famous figure in the ninja world. There shouldn't be anyone so naive as to think that peace brought about by the use of force to intimidate people doesn't count as peace, right?"

Minato and Kushina were silent for a while, but Orochimaru smiled, "So, Lu-kun, you want to help Akatsuki achieve its goals?"

"That's the case for now, but Kyuubi can't give it to him, at least not all of it. And whether to give it to him and when to give it to him is up to us to decide."

Lu Li's words were very confusing, but they still understood that Minato still had the other half of the Nine-Tails' chakra in his body. If this part was handed over, it would not affect Naruto.

As long as the Nine-Tailed Fox is still in their hands, they will have a certain initiative, and can even use it for negotiations in the future.

"Anyway, the ninja world is full of complicated situations. Just like Minato, you probably wouldn't have guessed that the masked man who attacked Konoha was Obito, right?"

Lu Li didn't want to discuss this issue in depth. If the whole thing was revealed, the intelligence advantage as a pioneer would be reduced, and it would also be too awkward.

"Obito!?"

Minato stood up in shock, "Impossible, Obito is not that kind of person, how could he kill me and Kushina!"

Lu Li shrugged, "Because he is a beast."

"Minato, calm down."

Kushina frowned slightly and looked at Lu Li, "Do you have any evidence? I have an impression of that child. He is a sunny and cheerful child."

As the master's wife, she was very kind to the three children raised by Minato and would even invite them to dinner at her home on weekends. She was naturally very familiar with Obito.

"Evidence? Sasuke's brother has already proved it in the fight. If you don't believe me, wait until I kill the masked man and bring his head back for you to identify."

Lu Li said, "It doesn't matter to me who he is. He attacked me and tricked me once, and I won't stop until I kill him, so I want to ask Minato for advice on space ninjutsu."

"You want to learn space ninjutsu?"

Minato looked at Lu Li with some surprise and a strange expression, "Space ninjutsu is very complicated. Didn't you hate this kind of ninjutsu with complicated theories the most when you were in Konoha?"

"I'm not learning. I just want to understand the principle better so that I can chop him down."

Lu Li explained that he had obtained the complete collection of Konoha's forbidden techniques, but it would take a lot of time to learn them one by one by himself. As for space ninjutsu, he might as well ask for advice from a ready-made master.

"In that case, I will teach you tomorrow, but I still don't believe that the masked man is Obito."

Minato seemed to have great confidence in his student and felt that Obito was a good boy with good character.

…………

"Ah... I failed again. How come I can't even use the clone technique properly? Am I really my parents' child?"

Naruto fell to the ground with difficulty, he had already used up all his chakra practicing ninjutsu.

Kushina frowned and checked on Naruto's condition. She had used sealing techniques to reinforce Naruto's seal yesterday. Naruto's chakra out-of-control condition should have improved a lot, but for some reason it was still difficult for him to release ninjutsu.

"Hey, Kyuubi, you still recognize me, right? Are you so reluctant to mess around with my son?"

Kushina used a secret technique to communicate with the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, but the Nine-Tails simply ignored her, which made her very angry.

However, she had been with the Nine-Tailed Fox for many years, so she naturally knew that this guy had a weird personality and was difficult to serve. She had relied on her superb sealing skills to suppress the Nine-Tailed Fox in the past, and had never borrowed the Nine-Tailed Fox's power.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you come over and think of a solution?"

Kushina got even angrier when she saw Minato grinning at the side, "It's just like you were able to control the Nine-Tails."

Minato really wanted to say that he could really borrow some of the Nine-Tails' power, because the Nine-Tails was sealed into the belly of the God of Death together with him, and they had communicated in the special world. As the Fourth Hokage, the Nine-Tails would not look down on him, and as long as he served well, the Nine-Tails would be willing to "reward" him with some chakra.

Lu Li, who was strolling nearby, saw this scene and frowned, "You haven't solved the problem of the Nine-Tailed Fox yet, have you?"

Kushina rolled her eyes beautifully, and her expression seemed to say, "If you can do it, then go ahead."
