The second round of the Chunin Exam, the survival trial, finally came to an end.
Naruto, Qian You, and the others fought in the Forest of Death for five days, and they were exhausted.
After the final list was determined, the two didn't stay any longer and returned home.
Wood Leaf Ninja also quickly reported the list of the finals to Naruto.
...
Naruto's office.
"I didn't expect that Naruto would meet him in the finals."
Minato's face was solemn. Although both children passed the exam smoothly, Naruto's final opponent was someone he didn't expect.
The Ichibi's Jinchuriki, Shukaku!
My Love's strength was good, even stronger than the current Naruto.
"Hehe, it's really an interesting duel."
Jiraiya chuckled. The duel between Naruto and My Love wasn't just a duel between the Ichibi and the Nine Tails Jinchuriki.
My Love was the son of the Fourth Kazekage, and Naruto was the son of the Fourth Naruto.
As soon as the laughter fell, Jiraiya's expression became solemn. He looked at Watergate and said, "If the Ichibi's power in My Love's body breaks out, the Nine Tails in Naruto's body may also go out of control …"
Watergate nodded. This was what he was most worried about.
Since Naruto saw the Nine Tails for the first time when he was six years old, as he grew older, similar situations broke out more and more frequently.
But every time, it was suppressed by Watergate and Waterstop in time.
So until now, Naruto didn't think that the monster he thought appeared in his dream was sealed in his body.
"So, what are you going to do?" Jiraiya stared at Watergate and said in a deep voice.
Watergate pondered a little and said, "I didn't tell Naruto before because he was still young."
"But now the situation is different. He has grown into a qualified Wood Leaf Ninja and passed the Chunin Exam and entered the finals."
"I think … it's time to tell him all these things."
"What are you going to say?"
Jiraiya agreed with Watergate's idea, but he was afraid that Naruto couldn't understand the reasons behind Watergate's decision.
"Since I'm going to tell him, of course, I can't hide anything."
Watergate said with a heavy face, "Sealing the Nine Tails in his body was my father's willful decision, so if Naruto will hate me because of this, it's reasonable."
At this point, Watergate's face showed a struggling look that Jiraiya had never seen before.
He walked to Watergate and reached out and patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
"You have always been Naruto's goal and vision, and although he sometimes seems silly, I think he will understand you in this matter."
"Just like Shinna Kushina understood your decision."
"Well …"
Watergate nodded, and his expression eased a lot.
...
In the evening, Watergate returned home. Shinna Kushina didn't prepare dinner today.
Because Naruto proposed to go to Ichiraku Ramen tonight to celebrate, he persuaded Qian You, and Shinna Kushina took it as a reward for the brother and sister successfully passing the second round of the exam, so they didn't object.
Of course, Watergate didn't object, so the family of four went to Ichiraku Ramen together.
After dinner, Naruto and Qian You didn't relax. The two went directly to the back of the mountain to train for the third round of the Chunin Exam in half a month.
The two children didn't tell their parents what My Love said at the end of the qualifier.
Naruto also made up his mind to defeat My Love in the third round of the exam.
Watergate and Shinna Kushina didn't stop them and returned home.
The attentive Shinna Kushina didn't expect to find Watergate's unusual expression tonight.
Watergate's thoughts can never be hidden from her.
Then, Watergate told Shinna Kushina his thoughts.
The latter was already prepared for this day, so she didn't show much hesitation.
Her only worry was that Naruto couldn't accept it.
However, this was a decision that he and Minato had made together, and they had to face it.
...
It wasn't until the time set by Shinna Kushina for Naruto and Qian You that the brother and sister returned home.
Watergate and his wife stopped the brother and sister who were about to go back to their room to rest.
They didn't intend to hide this matter from Qian You. After Naruto knew, she would certainly know.
Later, Watergate told them the matter with a heavy heart.
Except for Watergate's experience of rebirth, he told them everything.
...
"I'm sorry, Naruto, shortly after you were born, we made such a decision that will affect your future life. No matter what you will think of me and your father in the future, we will gladly accept it." Shinna Kushina said to Naruto apologetically.
At this time, Naruto was in a daze.
"Dad, isn't your approach a bit too arbitrary?
Because of a prophecy that you didn't know would come true, you sealed the Nine Tails in my brother's body … "
Qian You frowned, she had a rich knowledge of the ninja world, and she knew about the Bijuu and Jinchuriki before.
Her reaction was the same as that of Waterstop and Kakashi. She couldn't understand Watergate's somewhat gambling approach.
At this time, Watergate didn't know what to say.
Naruto couldn't control Chakra very well since he was a child because of it.
So, for this reason, he put a lot of effort and even irony that others couldn't see.
Because he was the son of Yondaime Naruto, he was destined not to be the same as ordinary people.
"Naruto …"
Shinna Kushina looked at Naruto, who frowned, worried that he couldn't bear the sudden facts.
Her call seemed to awaken Naruto, whose emotions were violently fluctuating in his heart.
Naruto raised his eyes and looked at her. There was no incomprehension or complaint that Shinna Kushina and Watergate expected.
"Mom, half of the monster is sealed in your body, right?"
"Yes." Shinna Kushina nodded and said.
"So it's like this, it's not a dream."
After asking Shinna Kushina, Naruto muttered to himself, and the flickering waves in his eyes gradually calmed down.
He didn't have a violent reaction, but Watergate and Shinna Kushina were most afraid of the situation.
"Naruto, these things should have been carried by me, I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a father, I'm sorry …" Watergate said with a look full of guilt.
"No, dad, you don't have to apologize."
Naruto's face showed a hearty smile.
"Although I still can't understand what the so-called Bijuu balance and prophecy mean."
"But dad's brain is much better than mine, since it's dad's decision, it must be right!"
