This punch, which carried Naruto's grievance for more than sixteen years, hit Minato's lower abdomen squarely.
As it is a punch without holding back, even Minato couldn't help but groaned in pain.
Minato then looked at Naruto. There is no blame or confusion in his eyes, there are only guilts.
"I'm sorry, Naruto, for making you suffer, I'm not a good father." Minato blamed himself.
At this time, Naruto has already burst into tears.
"Tou-chan... why! Why! Why did you seal the Kyūbi on my body! Did you know that because of this stinky fox, I have been discriminated in the whole village! I've also beaten up! I can't make friends at all! If it wasn't because of meeting Kakashi-sensei, and then I had Karin, Jūgo, Sasuke, Hinata, and Sakura-chan, I wouldn't know how to make it through."
Naruto became more and more agitated as he talked, and his tears kept flowing.
This may be the only time Naruto has cried bitterly in these years.
The last time was when he met Kakashi for the first time.
The tears contained resentment, incomprehension and sadness.
A person who was living in other people's tinted glasses since childhood, the feeling can't be explained clearly in just a few words.
And the culprit responsible for all this is his father.
This feeling made Naruto even more uncomfortable.
There are countless thoughts in his mind.
And one of them is a question he wanted the answer the most.
'Why me?'
Looking at Naruto's appearance, whether it was Minato, Kakashi, or Kyūbi, they were a little moved.
This seemingly strong young man, at this moment, completely tore his strong mask and showed the weakness hidden underneath.
No one is born strong.
Even Naruto is no exception.
Kakashi had never seen Naruto like this, but he was not surprised.
Because he knew that this yellow-haired teenager has really endured too much.
The thing he done now is the emotion that naturally can only be shown when he sees his father.
If a child can't even talk his grievance in front of his parents, it would be too pitiful.
Minato looks at Naruto and his eyes are full of guilt.
"Naruto, I'm sorry to make you bear all of this."
Naruto wiped his tears, and looked aside, as if he didn't want Minato to see his tears.
"Forget it, who made me the Yondaime Hokage's son."
In that tone, there is a bit of helplessness, a bit of joy, and a little pride.
But there is no blame like before.
This is Naruto, who always remembers the good of the others, and forgets the unpleasant things very quickly.
Minato is very relieved that his son has become so good. As a father, there is no reason to be unhappy seeing his son like this.
Kakashi patted Naruto's head to comfort him.
"Kakashi, thanks to you taking care of Naruto over the years. I am an incompetent father. Thank you for helping me fulfills this duty." Minato said gratefully.
Kakashi smiled and said: "Minato-sensei, this is what I should do. I just didn't expect that the scene of our goodbye will be in this place."
Minato was also a little embarrassed when he heard this.
For him, everything seems to be only yesterday.
Yesterday, he was in the Hokage Office to give a mission Kakashi, and today he saw Kakashi as an adult.
At this time, Naruto also reacted.
"Kakashi-sensei, are you tou-chan's student?"
"Well, when I was young, I'm in Minato-sensei's team."
"Really? In that case, isn't my relationship with Kakashi-sensei is actually a lot deeper?" Naruto said with delight.
Kakashi smiled and said nothing.
"Kakashi, do you know about Obito?" Minato suddenly said.
Kakashi was taken aback upon hearing this. He didn't expect Minato to suddenly talk about this.
Glancing at the Kyūbi, Kakashi understood the reason.
This guy, who couldn't bear the loneliness, presumably told Minato about the Sharingan when Naruto told him to come in before.
With Minato's intellect, after knowing this, it is not difficult to connect the events of sixteen years ago.
"Minato-sensei, I know. Obito, he..."
Kakashi stopped talking, as he didn't know how to continue.
But who is Minato? After seeing Kakashi's appearance at this time, he knew that what Kyūbi said before was all the truth.
For a while, the place became a little silent.
Naruto was confused about Kakashi and Minato's conversation.
'Who is this so-called Obito?'
'Why have I never heard Kakashi-sensei say about him?
"Sure enough, Obito really didn't die? It was also Obito who fought me back then. I never expected that in just over a year, Obito's strength would actually increase by so much. Even his Chakra felt completely different. I wonder what he has experienced." Minato said in doubts.
At the same time, there was also self-blame in that tone.
If he could recognize that the person was Obito at that time, maybe the tragedy won't happen.
It's just that Obito at that time, whether it was body shape, aura, or Ninjutsu, was completely different from before.
Even if Minato is very smart, he can't connect that masked man with his disappeared student.
Thinking of his three students, one fell into the darkness, one died tragically in the hands of the other student, and the last was still depressed at that time.
Minato suddenly felt that his teaching career was also a bit pitiful.
Fortunately, after seeing Kakashi today, Minato felt some comfort in his heart.
"Minato-sensei, there are a lot of things happened during that time. I only able investigated a part of the matter. But what is certain is that Obito is really not dead, and he has become the one who control the Akatsuki Organization. The one who saved him back then was maybe Uchiha Madara who has disappeared for many years."
"Uchiha Madara? No wonder Obito use his name. I'm really failed as a sensei. I let Obito embark on this path of no return. If I could have arrived earlier, maybe Obito will be still the hot-blooded teenager and still in Konoha at this time..."
Before Minato can finish speaking, Kakashi interrupted him: "Minato-sensei, it's too late. Obito is probably already targeted by Uchiha Madara, and no one can stop this without knowing it."
Minato nodded and said, "Kakashi, since you have investigated so many things, have you met with Obito again?"
"Yes, but every time I wasn't able to say anything. Obito would quickly use his Space Ninjutsu when we met. He didn't seem to want to talk to me more. So I didn't have time to talk to him." Kakashi said sadly.
Minato not disappointed when he heard that, on the contrary, he said happily: "Really? It seems that Obito did not completely abandon the past. At least he still has feeling about his companion."
"Feeling?" Kakashi murmured.
"Kakashi, it seems that your encounter with Obito is inevitable with the current situation. When the time comes, everything depends on your heart."
