"Lonely? Did something happen to Konoha?" Minato asked in worry.
Naruto shook his head "Nothing of the sort but I've been training alone for the past 2 years so it's been lonely."
Kushina asked as well as worry arose in her heart "Did the village force you to train?"
Naruto satisfied their curiosity as he explained with a smile "Nope. The village has been treating me well. I insisted on this training. Right now, I'm probably the strongest person alive."
"What?" Both Minato and Kushina looked at Naruto in shock. Was he telling the truth or bragging?
"How old are you right now? Judging by your appearance you should be 18-20 right?" Kushina asked with her eyes sparkling with interest.
Naruto grinned "Nope. I'm 15."
"15? How do you look so mature?" Minato asked in confusion.
Naruto explained "It's probably because of my training. My body went through evolution. My body right now is entirely devoid of Chakra and houses Sage Chakra."
"What?!" Minato was the most shocked between him and Kushina. He knew how hard it was to balance out Natural Energy with Chakra and Naruto's chakra is entirely made out of Sage Chakra?!
Just how strong is his body alone to be able to house Sage Chakra directly?!
Naruto bragged with a grin on his face "I also learned Rasengan, Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Rasengan with Nature Manipulation, I can use all elements. Fire, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Wood, etc. You name it. I can do it."
Minato was shocked but also intrigued.
After telling his tales to both his parents, their eyes were filled with shock and amazement. Their son was a genius! No… that's undermining his talents, he was a damned monster! Calling their son like that isn't good but one couldn't describe him better than that.
After a while of conversation, laughing at jokes, they found their son to be quite humorous but… there were sexual jokes mixed in. Did the Perverted Toad Sage teach him that? Doesn't matter, what matters is their son was incredible for becoming so strong through his own efforts!
After a few hours, Minato and Kushina started disappearing as they became particles of light starting from their legs.
Minato and Kushina looked at each other and nodded.
Minato said as he looked at Naruto "It looks like it's time."
Naruto nodded in reply "I'll be fine, dad. Mom. I'm strong."
Minato replied "I don't for a moment doubt that at the experience you've been through. The only thing I can say is that I'm proud of you for what you've accomplished and…"
Minato's face started becoming pale as he continued "I'm sorry for not being there for you watching you grow up, taking you to school like the other parents did, cooking for you, waking you up in the morning to go to class…"
Kushina started tearing up as she hugged Minato. She also felt the same. They had missed Naruto's childhood.
Naruto chuckled and replied "It's okay. What you've done is enough. You've sacrificed both of your lives for me to live. What sacrifice is greater than both of your lives for my sake? I'll live happily to the best that I can."
Minato couldn't help but laugh as tears fell from his eyes "Is that so? Then take care. Naruto."
Kushina also said "Naruto, my son. Take care of yourself. Live well, eat well, and live your life the way you want. We love you."
Minato nodded, he was a man of few words but he believes that he expressed his love for him all the same as Kushina without saying it but still said "Again, we love you."
Naruto nodded as he stood up "Un. Take care of mom in the pure land, dad."
Minato shook his head and replied "I can't even if I wanted to. Your mom and I will be separated again."
"Hm?"
Minato satisfied Naruto's curiosity and said "I used the [Reaper Death Seal] in the last moments in order to be able to seal only half of Kurama to you. I was afraid that your body couldn't handle it as you were still a baby. The other half is sealed along with me to the [Reaper Death Seal]."
"Is that so? Then take care of mom when you reach pure land. I'll free your soul from the [Reaper Death Seal]."
"You'll do that? Haha. Thanks son." Minato said for the last time as he disappeared along with Kushina who was waving her hand.
"No problem…" Naruto replied as he turned his attention to Kurama and said with a smile "You ready?"
Kurama grinned menacingly even if he didn't want to and replied "I've been more ready in my life."
Naruto smiled and his consciousness came back to his body and stabbed his arm into the seal to pull out Kurama.
As soon as Kurama came outside, he laughed in joy "HAHAHAHHAHA!!!! I'm finally out!!!!!!!!!"
Naruto covered his ears with his hands and complained "I'm glad that you're happy but you're too loud."
"Fool! Let me be! It's been decades since I last came out!"
Naruto sighed and said as he waved his hands "Sure, sure but I need to take countermeasures."
"Countermeasure?" Kurama asked
Naruto explained "Your huge size is too eye-catching, you're as big as a mountain. And if you're sleeping you might roll and splat some people in your sleep. I'll give you a seal to decrease your size."
Kurama thought for a bit and agreed. "Alright."
Naruto smiled and drew seals into the air [Reduction],[Size],[Wind Nature],[Auto absorb],[Flight],[Etc],[Etc].
Not long after he drew the seals into the air, it went straight to Kurama's body.
Poof!
Kurama's original size, as big as a mountain, has been turned into that as big as a horse.
Kurama was looking all around his body, liking this new size of him, he started jumping from tree to tree like he couldn't do before of his naturally big size, looks like this size is better.
Naruto chuckled seeing Kurama's excitement and asked "How is it? By the way, you can change your size the way you want, just activate the seal in your left paw. Activate the seal in your right paw if you want to fly, I added a Flight function using [Natural Energy of the Wind] . You can fly a total distance of 500 km before it refills itself naturally for 24 hours."
Kurama's eyes sparkled as he activated the seal on his left paw and a cloud made out of wind materialized on his four legs. He burst out flying in the distance in one go.
Naruto couldn't help but let out a wry smile and said before disappearing "How impatient."
He once reappeared above Kurama "How is it?"
Kurama laughed out loud and said "Feels great!"
Naruto just smiled and sat down as he pointed in a certain direction, let's go in that direction.
Kurama nodded and followed his will. Although he has been freed and Naruto was basically his friend. He was also his master in his heart.
After a few minutes of flying, they arrived "Stop."
Kurama glanced at the location filled with metallic buildings "Here? What's here?"
Naruto chuckled and replied "Underground, there's a total of 13… no those 6 are a part of 1 so there are 7 strong people here and 6 puppets."
Kurama asked in interest "So? Do we kill them all?"
Naruto replied with a smile "How warmonger, of course not, we're all peaceful people here."
Kurama's lips twitched and replied in disgust "You? Who craves strength more than anyone else is peaceful?"
Naruto nodded and with a confused face replied "That's right. When one doesn't have strength, there will be no peace right?"
Kurama thought for a bit but couldn't find a way to reply. Naruto's words made sense.
"You wait here." Naruto said as he jumped up into the sky and disappeared.
Kurama could only grumble as he descended to the ground and curled up since there was no action.
Naruto, who disappeared, used [Flying Thunder God Jutsu] and teleported into one of the chairs in the round table in the underground base.
With a wave of his hand, he said with a smile "Hi?"
There 7 members of the Akatsuki gathered here including the 6 paths of pain. They were s-rank ninjas but someone still managed to come here?
And as he arrived, all of them drew their weapons and were about to reach Naruto as he said hi.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Their attacks all stopped in the air as if an invisible force was surrounding Naruto's body that made them jump away in warriness.
Naruto who was sitting down, crossed his legs as he released his aura and said solemnly "Settle down."
In an instant, heavy energy surrounded the place that made them unable to move. Just by momentum alone, Naruto got them subdued?! They were S-Rank ninjas for god's sake!
Just who is this blond youth?!
Kurama who was far away also felt Naruto energy, he could only click his tongue and complain "What a monster. He's probably even stronger than the old man."
