Lin Feng touched his forehead, feeling nothing at all.
"Just now, what exactly was that?" Looking at the red-clothed girl, who seemed untouched by the mortal world, Lin Feng began to scheme.
"Hey, look, I'm just an ordinary person! You have to at least give me the power to kill a person with one finger, right? Otherwise, this game isn't any fun!"
"What more power do you want?" The little girl rolled her eyes at him. "If you can utilize the power you already possess, the few people in this world won't be a match for you at all!"
"The few people in this world?" Lin Feng was stunned. She knew about them?
The strongest were just a few, right?
Madara, Pain—those guys.
Oh, and the Nine-Tails and other Tailed Beasts!
He actually had the potential to beat them?
At this thought, he couldn't help but feel a little conceited.
"Don't get too happy too soon! If your aptitude is poor, it's useless," the little girl waved her hand and laughed. "Now, the game begins!"
"Wait!" Lin Feng quickly stopped her. "Can you go to the outside world?"
The girl gently shook her head, saying, "I do not belong to this world, so naturally, I cannot. But you are different!"
Exactly! Just as Lin Feng thought! No matter the world, there are always natural laws—a form of invisible restraint that no one can break free from!
"Then how will you know whether I've won or lost?" Lin Feng grinned naughtily. "How about you become my Summoning Beast? That way, you can go outside whenever you want! What do you say?"
"Sure!" The little girl agreed without a second thought, but her next sentence made Lin Feng's spirits plummet: "But don't expect me to help you! Mm, that settles it!" With that, she enacted another contractual sealing.
"Alright, go back now! Remember, I will contact you naturally when I want to go out! And don't worry, as long as you can control that power, you will naturally return to your former appearance! However, I must warn you about one thing: even when you return to your original look, you won't age any further!"
"So, I'll stay 18 forever?" Lin Feng laughed. "Isn't that even better? Forever young! Eighteen years old—full of energy! One night should... Mmm, staying like this is great!"
"Less nonsense! Go back now!"
When Lin Feng opened his eyes, he found himself in a very warm and cozy room.
The stunningly beautiful pregnant woman, Kushina, was bustling about, while the blond, blue-eyed Fourth Hokage sat intently looking at a scroll.
"Minato, what should we do about this child?" Kushina seemed very fond of Lin Feng. She walked over, touched Lin Feng's cheek, and smiled. "Since he was abandoned, why don't we adopt him? When our own child is born, he'll have an older brother!"
Minato said without looking up, "Hmm, that's fine, but won't that make things hard for you? Raising children isn't easy, you know."
"No problem!" Kushina smiled with maternal warmth. "In the future, they might become the next generation of top contenders in Konoha! Maybe they'll even surpass you, the Fourth Hokage!"
Looking at the beautiful woman's sweet smile, Lin Feng truly felt a bit like she was his mother.
His own mother had died in childbirth when he was born, which had always been a source of pain for him. Now, suddenly receiving care, the feeling warmed his heart.
A month passed this way.
Lin Feng spent every day thinking about how to control the two powerful forces within his body.
However, he still had no clue. No matter how hard he tried to sense them, there was no effect!
A week ago, Little Naruto was born!
But tonight felt unusually quiet!
It was like the ominous calm before a storm!
It was very strange!
Although the outside world wasn't actually silent, Lin Feng could sense it!
Perhaps it was an instinctive perception!
Just as he was pondering his arrival in this world, the outside suddenly erupted in chaos! It was like the end of the world!
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng thought about the Naruto storyline and suddenly gave a start! How could he have forgotten the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha?!
"But I can't do anything right now!" Lin Feng felt extremely frustrated!
The original story didn't explicitly mention Kushina's fate!
I wonder if she committed suicide to follow the Fourth Hokage in death!
Sigh, such a great beauty, how can I let her die!
Yet, he was utterly powerless!
He didn't know how much time passed until the outside door was suddenly opened, and the tall man rushed in!
Blond hair, blue eyes, and his Hokage attire was imposing!
He picked up Little Naruto with one hand, looked at Lin Feng beside him, and—not knowing what he was thinking—also carried Lin Feng away as he left!
"Why is he carrying me too?" Lin Feng's only thought was that the Fourth Hokage was going to use that super sealing technique—the Reaper Death Seal—to seal the Nine-Tails. But only Naruto was needed for that; why bring him too?
Just as the Fourth Hokage was about to walk out, Kushina blocked his path: "What are you doing! Are you going to sacrifice your own son's life for the sake of your battle, letting his life be consumed? I absolutely forbid you to do this!" Kushina was deeply disappointed in her husband. Why would he sacrifice his own son for the sake of the village!
"Kushina! Listen to me!" The Fourth Hokage was clearly anxious. "If I don't do this, Konoha will truly be destroyed! Think of how many lives are at stake! Besides, it's just a sealing; Naruto won't necessarily be harmed!" He didn't tell his wife the cost of his sealing jutsu, even if it meant losing his own life!
"I still won't allow it!" Kushina said, attempting to rush forward and grab the two infants from the Fourth Hokage's arms.
But he was, after all, the genius ninja known as the Yellow Flash. Even in this stressful situation, Kushina was no match for him.
With a highly proficient Body Flicker Technique, he escaped Kushina's attack range, instantly leaping onto Gamabunta who was waiting outside, heading toward the Nine-Tails' location!
And behind him, Kushina was in close pursuit!
Unfortunately, once the Fourth Hokage made up his mind, no one could stop him!
Looking at the raging Nine-Tails, the destroyed village it left behind, and the comrades who sacrificed themselves beneath it, Minato's heart was tormented!
In the original story, the Fourth Hokage divided the Nine-Tails' chakra into two parts, sealing the Yang (Positive) attribute chakra inside Naruto.
The Yin (Negative) attribute chakra, however, was not specified.
But Lin Feng had already guessed the whereabouts of that Yin attribute!
It was going to be sealed within himself!
He couldn't help but think: "What the hell!"
Watching the Fourth Hokage about to perform the Reaper Death Seal, Lin Feng was filled with extreme anxiety!
