Naruto : Minato back to the past

"This..."

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment when he heard Minato's words.

"That's not good. The name Naruto was just something I came up with while eating ramen."

He looked a little embarrassed; after all, Minato's proposal was too sudden.

"No, I think the name Naruto is very nice."

At this time, Kushina pondered for a moment and chuckled.

"Minato, Kushina."

Jiraiya murmured softly, and at this moment Kushina suddenly stood up, pulled him to the side.

She looked at Minato with a little caution, then whispered in Jiraiya's ear: "Teacher, please, if you don't agree, Minato might come up with some weird names, and I'm not very good at these things."

At this moment, Kushina's expression was very strange, and Jiraiya couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard it.

He had also experienced Minato's ability in naming, but Kushina herself was not good at these things. Instead of letting Minato come up with those weird names, the name Naruto was at least within the normal range.

Thinking about this, Jiraiya nodded.

"Thank you, teacher!" Kushina said, clasping her hands together.

"Ahem."

Afterwards, the two returned to their seats. Jiraiya coughed twice and said, "If that's the case, then alright."

"Thank you very much." Minato said happily with a look of delight on his face.

"But, time flies by really fast."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh. When he accepted Minato as his disciple, Minato was even younger than he was now.

But before they knew it, that little guy was about to become a father.

"Teacher, you won't leave the village for some time, right?" Minato asked tentatively.

"Certainly."

Jiraiya laughed and said, "I have to see little Naruto first."

"In the future, I will train him to be a better ninja than his father!"

The next day, in the Hokage's office.

"How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Minato told the Third Hokage all the information Jiraiya had collected about Sasori, as well as his own speculations.

"It's hard to imagine that someone would come and attack Konoha."

Hiruzen said with a solemn expression that Konoha's strength had been fully demonstrated through the Third Ninja World War.

Even the combined efforts of the four major ninja nations had failed. Only Uchiha Madara would have been able to threaten Konoha if he were still alive.

But even if it were Madara, given his age, he would no longer be a threat.

But Minato's concerns were by no means groundless, because facts had proven that the person who planned all this in secret possessed extraordinary means.

On the battlefield of Kirigakure, the monster whose power was comparable to that of the tailed beast should never be underestimated.

And if that guy released the Nine-Tails while Kushina was giving birth, the consequences would be disastrous.

"On the day of Kushina's delivery, it would be best to arrange a few more experts to be on guard outside in addition to you."

Hiruzen said: "Let Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Yoruki guard outside."

There was no one in the current ninja world who could contend with Minato now. Add to that Sakumo and Yoruki, it was hard to imagine who could threaten Kushina under their protection.

"Yes." Minato nodded, frowning slightly and said: "Then let's put the matter of arresting Sasori of the Red Sand on hold for the time being."

The Third Hokage agreed to this approach and said, "For Konoha right now, nothing is more important than Kushina giving birth smoothly."

As a ninja on Konoha's kill list, the village would execute Sasori sooner or later.

But at this moment, especially when it might be a trap, they could only let this person go temporarily.

However, Minato had different ideas in mind.

Because the current Konoha was very different from what it was before. Even if the masked man attacked, he alone could not kidnap Kushina from Minato's sight.

He believed that the enemy who was able to plan all these things so far would not be unaware of these things in his mind.

So he was afraid that the situation that Konoha would face on the day Kushina gave birth would be more complicated than that night.

However, no matter what, he would never let the same thing happen again!

"Is there still no movement from Konoha?" Behind the masked man, White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

"No, maybe your plan has been seen through." White Zetsu said.

"The Fourth Hokage of Konoha is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Of course I know that."

Even though he said this, his scarlet pupils still twitched slightly under the mask that concealed his true face.

"Indeed, after all, that guy used to be your teacher." White Zetsu chuckled.

"Boring." The masked man murmured, and then said: "Don't mention this to me again. I don't care anymore, Hokage or anything like that."

"So, what should you do next?" White Zetsu said, "Madara said before that this is a great opportunity and we can't miss it."

"There's no other choice. We can only go to Konoha like this."

"Anyway, Nagato has already subdued that guy."

White Zetsu smiled meaningfully and said, "Come to think of it, that guy is also a monster. He is clearly from the same period as Madara and the First Hokage, and he is still alive today."

"Ah." The masked man responded, "But with his strength added, it should be about the same."

As the words fell, a special emotion surged in the eyes under the mask.

"I want to see if the man who is known as the fastest man in the ninja world today can have time to perform the so-called protection this time."

Time passed, and finally it was the day when Kushina would give birth.

The place where Kushina would give birth was chosen outside Konoha, because the power of the seal would be extremely weakened when a female Jinchūriki gave birth.

If the tailed beasts were to go out of control and run wild, the ninja village would be the first to suffer immeasurable damage.

The Third Hokage first came to Minato's house and instructed Kushina on some things. In addition to the Third Hokage's wife, there was also another medical ninja from the Anbu who was responsible for delivering Kushina's baby.

And in Kushina's current state, there was no way for her to move through time and space.

So, towards evening, Minato and the Third's wife, Biwako, accompanied her to the pre-arranged place for delivery.

In the evening, outside Konoha.

"Ah!!"

In a cave outside Konoha, the sound of a woman moaning due to severe pain was heard.

The dim light illuminated the entire cave, and at this moment, on the delivery bed, Kushina's entire face was distorted due to severe pain.

Minato looked at her with worry, then suddenly formed hand seals and pressed his palms on Kushina's abdomen, on the weakening seal.

"Roar!"

When Minato placed his palm on the seal, a ferocious roar rang out in his ears!
