Chapter 542
【Knowing that Kushina had been convinced by him, Minato thanked her and then summoned the scroll Gamatoa, and after handing it the key to the seal, he told it to give the key to Jiraiya for safekeeping. 】
【After completing the preparations for the seal, Minato felt that the god of death was ready to harvest his soul, so he said to Kushina: "Kushina... I don't have much time left, it's almost time to activate the Eight Diagrams Seal... I also want to seal my chakra on Naruto as much as possible... We have to separate temporarily, if you have anything to say to Naruto, say it now..."】
["In the end, mother still chose Konoha led by father, and let her child sacrifice for it..."]
["This is also helpless. Both of them have such a big hole in their bodies, it is impossible for them to survive."]
[ "Again, only their children are qualified to judge their behavior, and other people don't need to bother with this."]
[Kushina, with blood on her mouth and shortness of breath, calmed down for a while and looked at Naruto with tenderness: "Naruto, don't be picky about food, eat enough every day and grow up strong... Remember to take a bath every day, don't stay up late, and get enough sleep... In addition, make friends, it doesn't matter if there are not many, as long as there are a few trustworthy partners..."]
["Mom's grades are not very good, I hope you can study hard and master ninjutsu well... However, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Things, don't be discouraged even if you don't learn well, and respect teachers and seniors in school..."]
["There is one more important thing, about the three taboos of ninjas... First of all, you can't borrow money casually, and the rewards for the missions should be saved well... You can't drink alcohol until you are over 20 years old, and you must stop drinking in moderation, otherwise it will hurt your body..."]
["Then there is the woman in the three taboos. Mom is a woman, so she doesn't understand this one... In short, there are only men and women in this world. Sooner or later, you will fall in love with a girl. Don't be fooled by bad girls. Find an outstanding woman like mom... And, speaking of the three taboos, there is one more thing, be careful of Jiraiya teacher. ..”】
【“Naruto... there will be a lot of pain and suffering in the future. You must stick to yourself, stick to your dreams... and then put your dreams into practice... have confidence in yourself... and... and... and... there are really many things I want to tell you. I want to live with you and stay with you forever... Mom loves you... I’m sorry Minato, I’m the only one who said it...”】
【“No... it’s okay...” In the midst of Kushina’s unstoppable sobbing, Minato took a last look at Naruto, chuckled and said: “Naruto, what Dad wants to say... is the same as your nagging mother...”】
【Gossip Seal! 】
["Tsk, it's another sentimental scene..."]
["Wow... But it's really touching, isn't it..."]
["It's just some ordinary explanations. I often hear my mother say them at home, but I can't listen to them in this situation. It's just making myself uncomfortable."]
["I want to tell him all my nagging in my life, but unfortunately, time is limited..."]
["Now that it's like this, no one can say that they are incompetent parents! They, like all parents, love their children deeply, but the world is difficult, and they don't have the opportunity to give their love to their children!"]
["Dad is so gentle, and mom is indeed nagging, but I think... No one will dislike it."]
"..."
Naruto's tears burst out, and this time he couldn't stop them no matter how hard he tried to hold back.
Seeing Naruto's tearful eyes that were unwilling to move away from the sky, Sasuke did not say anything harsh to irritate him as usual, but followed his line of sight to look at the sky, recalling the appearance of his parents.
Jiraiya sighed slightly, and was about to pat Naruto's shoulder to comfort him, but suddenly stopped after raising his hand.
'Let him be alone for a while, now the time belongs only to him...'
["I'm sorry..." In Naruto's consciousness space, Kushina wiped away her tears and said to Naruto with an apologetic face: "I made you the container of the Nine-Tails... I made you bear our burden... I couldn't accompany you to grow up... I couldn't give you more love..."]
[Facing his mother's self-blame, Naruto was peaceful and said in a calm voice: "You don't need to apologize to me... Indeed, because of the identity of Jinchūriki, I have suffered a lot in the past, butI have never blamed you."]
["Of course, to be honest, I don't really understand what fatherly and motherly love is. As far as I can remember, my parents have not been around, so I only have a vague concept..."]
["But now I understand that my parents are willing to sacrifice their lives for me, and I also understand that before I became the container of the Nine-Tails, you first poured your fatherly and motherly love on me! So I am also very happy!" Naruto smiled brightly and said to Kushina who was crying again: "I am proud of being my father and mother's child! ”]
[‘Minato, did you hear that... Our love has been conveyed to this child...’ Kushina exuded a hazy white light all over her body, and walked forward to hug Naruto tightly: “Naruto... Thank you for letting me be a mother, thank you for letting Minato be a father, you can come to us as a child... Really... Thank you...”]
[“Naruto’s reaction is expected...”]
[“As they both aim to be Hokage, coupled with Naruto’s naturally optimistic personality, he will naturally not blame his parents, especially after knowing the whole story.”]
[“Even an unrelated person like me is moved to death, how can Naruto, the person involved, avoid it?”]
[“Both parents and children are happy to be each other’s parents/children, so if the Fourth Generation couple can survive, how happy will their family be. ”]
[The mother’s voice lingered in his ears. Naruto closed his eyes and shed tears as he felt the last hug. It took him a long time to recover. Then he smiled and looked up at the sky with his blue eyes.]
[‘Mom... From now on, I won’t always eat ramen, and I will eat vegetables well... I love taking a bath, you can rest assured about that. I also go to hot springs often. I also sleep well every day, and I always oversleep!’]
