Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Continue to Stay by Naruto's Side

First, let Minato and Kushina take a look at how Naruto has been living these years.

It's also to lay the groundwork for dealing with the Third Hokage later.

After all, having a common enemy makes it easy to become allies.

Rengoku gave an elegant bow, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Uchiha Rengoku."

"Currently one of the four elders of the Uchiha clan."

"Two days ago, under the Third's instruction, Danzo threatened Itachi with Sasuke's life to exterminate our Uchiha clan..."

Luckily, Rengoku brought Fugaku's eye technique; otherwise, the chakra of Minato and Kushina wouldn't have lasted long.

In this illusion world, Rengoku only needs to consume eye power to transmit more information to the Fourth couple.

Kushina had seen little Sasuke in swaddling clothes before giving birth and still had an impression of him.

Her own son being treated like a dog was bad enough, but even her best friend's son was turned into a tool for Konoha.

This made Kushina hate the Third Hokage even more.

"...The Third Hokage, as a qualified politician, only needs to move his lips to wipe out the entire Senju clan."

"Spread some rumors, and he can make a strong Hokage candidate like Sakumo Hatake commit suicide."

"By indulging Danzo's ambition, he could issue an extermination order against our Uchiha clan."

"He only needed to control the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, and rely on the enormous wealth left behind by Kushina, to elevate the Sarutobi clan to the peak."

"My eye technique can show you what might happen in the future."

Rengoku pointed at the background behind him; within the illusion, future scenes could also be created.

Under Rengoku's control, the scene showed Naruto becoming a loyal dog in front of the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage tells him to go east, and Naruto wouldn't dare go west.

And he was even deeply grateful to this schemer.

Kushina, who had just punched Minato, wore a dark expression. Minato stood beside her, under immense pressure.

A person like Kushina usually expressed her anger immediately, so this gloomy look was something Minato had never seen before.

"You should have seen it, my eye technique can peer into countless future possibilities."

"As for the future dangers of the ninja world, let's not mention them for now. But before that, we all have a common enemy to deal with, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen."

Minato asked with some confusion, "But we're already dead, right? Although I'm very grateful you let us know how Naruto has been living..."

"But this bit of chakra we have won't last much longer."

Minato found Rengoku's actions very strange.

If it was to forcefully seize control of the Nine-Tails, they couldn't stop it.

Even if they could seal Naruto once, could they do it countless times?

So Rengoku coming here just to talk and show goodwill really made no sense.

Because all their inheritance was in the Third's hands, and they couldn't help Naruto either, "What if I could bring you back to life?"

""Resurrection?"", Minato and Kushina were both shocked.

Because as of now in the ninja world, there was no way to bring the dead back to life.

That's why the Third Hokage dared to oppress Naruto so brazenly.

Although Naruto was still alive, the Third's actions were basically equivalent to cutting off all hope.

Rengoku saw that his bond level with Minato was still at Level 1, the first star, so he knew Minato still didn't fully believe him.

But Kushina was different. She was very grateful to Rengoku, the bond had already reached Level 2, with two stars.

Rengoku nodded slightly, "Since we're starting to cooperate, I'll show you some sincerity first."

His special communication with Minato and Kushina was naturally to obtain the couple's secret techniques.

And even to have them work for him after resurrection in the future.

Once Kushina's bond star reached the second level, if Rengoku's guess was right, the second star should contain 10% of Kushina's chakra.

This was a spiritual world, so Rengoku took out that star and crushed it in front of the Fourth couple.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

This star indeed contained Kushina's chakra, and this 10% portion was an enormous amount.

Even Rengoku was a bit shocked.

Since Kushina herself was here, under Rengoku's guidance, this chakra was absorbed into her body like fledgling swallows returning to the nest.

"This… Why do you have my chakra?"

Kushina's surprise was understandable. After all, this chakra was hers, and it was about 10% of her total amount.

Strictly speaking, the Kushina here wasn't her soul, but a chakra entity carrying her original memories, like a shadow clone.

Once the chakra is exhausted, she will disappear.

Now, thanks to Rengoku's replenishment, this chakra was enough for Kushina to exist for two more weeks.

If he controlled the time of each appearance, she could potentially stay for several months.

That's how much chakra the Uzumaki clan had.

At this point, Rengoku also realized that he had likely underestimated the chakra volume of the Uzumaki clan.

But it didn't matter, after all, acquiring chakra was easy for him. If it's gone, it's gone.

"This is my secret," Rengoku had no intention of explaining it to the Fourth couple.

He continued, "Our Uchiha, as one of Konoha's founders, not only have no power now…"

"But we've also been forced into a desperate situation by the Third Hokage."

"We Uchiha have discovered that Sarutobi Hiruzen, during these years…"

"Has taken Kushina's inheritance and developed more than a thousand Sarutobi clan ninjas."

"Although things are currently at a standstill, once the Third unleashes those Sarutobi ninjas, we'll fall behind again."

"So I need allies."

"A thousand?"

Minato was shocked. A ninja clan with over a hundred ninjas was already a big clan. Having three to four hundred was a prestigious house.

Currently, the Uchiha and Hyuga had about that many.

Rengoku thought, if they waited another ten years, there'd be 3,000 Sarutobi troops.

He confirmed, "We've found over a thousand. The exact number is unclear."

"Anyway, Kushina can now remain here for a while longer. I believe she'll see it all."

"Kushina, you don't want Naruto to keep getting brainwashed and exploited by Sarutobi Hiruzen, right?"

"You can now exist for a few more months, and I can continue to let you stay by Naruto's side in the future."

"Don't you want Naruto to have a mother?"

Rengoku's words struck Kushina's heart directly. As a mother who regretted missing Naruto's childhood, she was already full of guilt.

Now that there was a way to accompany Naruto, no mother could refuse.

"No problem. Whether your Uchiha want to bring down the Third Hokage or seize Konoha's power, I'll support it!"
