Three days later, in the Rainbow Shadow office, Uchiha Fugaku stared blankly at the two people standing in front of Zhong Chen.
Although he had known for a long time that his boss would be resurrected, seeing the dead standing alive in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Fourth Hokage! Kushina Uzumaki!!!"
That's right, the Minato couple, who had died, were now standing in front of Zhong Chen, and at this moment, they were equally bewildered.
"May I ask for your identity? Kushina and I aren't already dead, are we?"
Minato Namikaze was the first to regain his senses. Seeing Uchiha Fugaku standing nearby, he still thought he was in Konoha.
So he didn't make any rash moves.
"Oh, right! Minato and I aren't already dead, are we? Could it be that Uchiha Fugaku, you're dead too!"
"Kushina, that's rude!"
Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, a dark line appeared on Uchiha Fugaku's forehead. 'You're dead, your whole family is dead.'
Eh? Besides Uzumaki Naruto, her whole family really is dead, it seems!
"Although it's unbelievable, Minato, you really have been resurrected."
"Really?"
After hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Kushina Uzumaki reached out and repeatedly felt Minato Namikaze's body.
Feeling the warmth emanating from him and seeing his still bright and handsome face, Kushina immediately shouted with surprise:
"Oh my! Minato, you're really alive!"
Looking at his excited wife, Minato Namikaze first gave an apologetic glance to Uchiha Fugaku and Zhong Chen, then grabbed Kushina's right hand and gently advised:
"Kushina, calm down first. I need to understand the current situation."
"Mmm mmm... Alright... Then Minato, you ask."
Realizing that she had indeed gotten a little too excited, Kushina quickly nodded and quieted down beside Minato Namikaze.
"It seems you two have calmed down."
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhong Chen, and I am the Rainbow Shadow of Rainbow Ninja Village. I am the one who resurrected you."
"If you have any questions, you may ask them now."
After Zhong Chen finished speaking, he crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and looked with a smile at the Minato couple, who were staring at him with astonished expressions.
There was no helping it; the Rainbow Shadow's reputation in the Shinobi World was simply too resounding. Although he had only appeared for a short time, the Minato couple were still very clear about his deeds.
"Rainbow Shadow-sama, you must have resurrected us for a purpose, right?"
"Also, why is Uchiha Fugaku-sama with Rainbow Shadow-sama?"
Zhong Chen didn't answer directly after hearing this, but instead glanced at Uchiha Fugaku.
Understanding Zhong Chen's meaning, Uchiha Fugaku immediately began to explain:
"Why I am with Rainbow Shadow-sama... It's like this..."
As Uchiha Fugaku continued to narrate, the Minato couple were also utterly shocked.
Although Minato knew that the Konoha higher-ups disliked the Uchiha, he never expected them to actually plan to wipe out the Uchiha Clan.
Isn't this destroying Konoha's own strength!
Everything had been improving when he was Hokage.
"Hmph! I knew the Third Hokage was unreliable, and Danzo is an old dog!"
Kushina Uzumaki unceremoniously and loudly disparaged Konoha's Hokage and elders.
"Kushina, I think the Third Hokage must have had his own difficulties."
Minato Namikaze, hearing his wife's words, spoke helplessly to defend the Third Hokage.
"Hmph, that old man, who knows what he's really thinking."
Just as Minato Namikaze was about to say something more, Zhong Chen spoke.
"I think Ms. Kushina is absolutely right. If you knew how Uzumaki Naruto was doing, I think you'd probably curse too."
"What!!! Naruto!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Kushina Uzumaki, who was nearby, couldn't stand still. She rushed directly to the opposite side of Zhong Chen's desk and asked with an anxious expression:
"Is Naruto doing well now? Has he been bullied? He should be old enough for the Ninja Academy now, right!"
Minato Namikaze, who was beside her, didn't interrupt Kushina's words this time; instead, he also looked at Zhong Chen seriously.
"How to put it... Never mind, see for yourselves."
Zhong Chen waved his right hand, and a familiar water mirror appeared out of thin air, showing a young Uzumaki Naruto.
"Minato, it's Naruto! He's grown so big!"
Kushina looked at the little boy with yellow hair in the water mirror, couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Minato Namikaze looked at the small figure picking up a ball, tightly embraced his wife beside him, and his eyes also couldn't help but turn red.
Just as the two were overjoyed, the voices of two middle-aged women came through.
"Oh, it's that child, isn't it? He's creepy."
"Hey, don't play with him. God knows what he'll do to you."
"Really?"
"He's a monster. Come on, stay away from him."
Naruto looked at the crowd around him, who were discussing him, and his young face was filled with disappointment.
The ball in his hand also dropped to the ground.
Then, without looking back, he ran out of the crowd.
A moment later, the small figure arrived at a ramen stand. Smelling the aroma wafting from inside, he reached into his pocket, found he didn't have enough money, and could only continue walking forward with a lost expression.
People who saw him still showed undisguised disgust, and many even threw things at him. Naruto accidentally got hit and fell to the ground.
But he didn't scream or shout; he just stubbornly stood up again and ran towards his home.
Returning home, Naruto walked through a pile of garbage and lay on his bed.
He thought about how other children had parents, but he didn't, and everyone disliked him so much.
Tears finally welled up on his young face from the injustice.
From soft whimpers at first, to uncontrollable wailing, until finally the sound disappeared, the small figure had cried himself to sleep on the bed.
Looking at Naruto's tear-stained sleeping face, the Minato couple remained silent for a long time, only tears continuously flowing from their eyes.
"How about it? Do you still think the Third Hokage is a good person now?"
"Wuwuwu... Minato, why! Why doesn't Naruto even have money for a bowl of noodles!"
"Didn't you say the Third Hokage would take good care of him!!!"
"Didn't you say he would become a hero! Why! Why is all of this happening! Answer me, Minato!"
Minato looked at Kushina, who was hysterically crying and hitting him, glanced at the sleeping Naruto, gritted his teeth, and forcefully embraced Kushina in front of him.
"I was wrong, Kushina..."
"Wuwuwu... Naruto is still so young, what did he do wrong? Why do those people in Konoha treat him like that!"
"Wuwuwu..."
A moment later, Kushina Uzumaki cried herself unconscious in Minato Namikaze's arms. Seeing this, Zhong Chen waved his right hand, and a small bed appeared out of thin air.
Seeing this, Minato nodded gratefully to Zhong Chen, then carefully placed Kushina onto the small bed.
When everything was taken care of, Minato Namikaze's gentle demeanor suddenly became extremely serious.
"Rainbow Shadow-sama, please state the purpose of resurrecting us."
At this point, Minato looked gently at the sleeping Kushina, then continued with a resolute expression:
"Please let me bear all the costs alone, I beg you..."
