Chapter 433 Ishikawa: Yes, you and your husband died together.
"Hehe, I thought you didn't care about your own affairs, Eizou!" Seeing the Fourth Generation staring at him with a serious expression and uneasy eyes, Ishikawa couldn't help but chuckle teasingly.
"Well, other things were just too important for me to resist..." The Fourth Hokage chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head. Who could ignore their inevitable death?
He himself was secondary; the crucial matter was his childhood sweetheart and newlywed wife, Kushina. If he were to tragically perish, then Kushina would likely...
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki? Sorry, you and your husband died together!" Seemingly noticing the glint in the Fourth Hokage's eyes, Ishikawa's lips curled into a sneer.
∑(??д??lll)
The Fourth Generation's eyes bulged and his limbs stiffened instantly. His warm face turned pale in the blink of an eye, and for the first time, he lost his composure in front of Ishikawa and Rin.
"Kushina..."
Although he had a vague idea in his mind, the fourth generation still found it hard to accept when the answer was truly laid bare before him.
"Hmph, stop pretending to scare Minato-sensei! Let me do it..."
Seeing that Ishikawa was beating around the bush and not getting to the point, Nohara Rin gave a disgruntled snort and took two steps forward to the fourth generation's table.
"Don't worry, teacher. Once Sasuke completes his mission, your and Kushina's fates will change. Even if something unexpected happens, we, who know the information in advance, will not let anything happen to you."
"Comfort!" Nohara Rin exclaimed. Seeing the Fourth Hokage's eyes light up and he come back to his senses, she continued, "In their world, around October next year when Kushina gives birth, it is suspected that Madara Uchiha took the opportunity to extract the Nine-Tails and launch the Nine-Tails attack."
"That night, teacher, you and Kushina sealed the Nine-Tails with your lives, and therefore you are hailed as the hero who saved Konoha, the legendary Fourth Hokage..."
Nohara Rin, combining what Ishikawa had said with her own speculation, affirmed that although there were some discrepancies, it was basically consistent with the facts.
In an instant, the information Lin revealed caused the Fourth Hokage's vision to blur and his lips to twitch. He had originally thought it would be at least three to five years later, but he never expected to be gone next year!
In other words, he had only been the Fourth Hokage for a little over a year at most.
"One more thing, your child Naruto, who is the vessel that sealed the Nine-Tails, will be the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Congratulations, you have a son..."
Ishikawa glanced at the Fourth Hokage's dark face and then said, "This information is of utmost importance."
“Nine-Tails! Naruto? I see…” The quick-witted Fourth Hokage quickly realized something, nodding and muttering with a complicated expression.
If it was for the sake of the children and the village, then he could probably understand the fate of his and Kushina's deaths!
Is it Naruto Namikaze? I wonder if this kid is as talented as Sasuke.
But the name Naruto sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before...
[Jiraiya-sensei! That's the name of the main character in that book, "The Tale of the Guts-Willed Ninja."] Suddenly, the Fourth Hokage realized something and looked at Rin and Ishikawa with a hint of anticipation.
"Hey, how's Naruto doing? Being a Jinchuriki must be really tough. I wonder if he's growing up healthy?"
"Hmm, with Kakashi and the Third Hokage there, there shouldn't be any problems. By the way, where was the Third Hokage during the Nine-Tails' attack? Who will be the Hokage of Konoha after my death? Kakashi?"
"Uh--"
Seeing the Fourth Hokage made her a little excited, but Rin Nohara couldn't help but smile awkwardly, thinking of Naruto's carefree and mischievous nature.
That guy really didn't inherit any of the teacher's or Kushina's good genes!
"Let's leave this as a mystery. Otherwise, knowing everything in advance won't create any sense of surprise or anticipation. In short, he's a passionate young man who inherits your will!" Ishikawa said casually, not wanting to waste any more words on the matter.
Let them experience the bond between father and son for themselves in the future!
"Is that so..." Upon hearing the name of the passionate young man, the fourth generation's face immediately lit up with a gratified smile, and his expectations for his son were immediately filled to the max.
Ishikawa is right; once you get the answer at the beginning, you won't have as much anticipation for what's to come!
"Yes, the Third Hokage also participated in the battle back then. After your death, he resumed the position of Hokage until he was killed by Orochimaru this year, when Kakashi-sensei succeeded him as the Fifth Hokage." Ishikawa once again succinctly explained the aftermath, without mentioning Naruto's childhood hardships.
Ultimately, Naruto and the Fourth Hokage are not really father and son. The Fourth Hokage will have his own happy family, so why should he cause trouble for him?
"Really? Kakashi is the fifth Hokage who only took over this year." The Fourth Hokage took a deep breath and sat back down, quickly calming down the explosive information.
Soon, a glint of light flashed in the Fourth Generation's eyes, confirming a certainty.
"Just as Ishikawa said, we are two worlds that share the same origin and are intertwined yet do not interfere with each other. Therefore, I do not want you to go out and spread rumors about your existence and information about that world, causing an uproar in Konoha!"
“Of course, that’s what we think too.” Ishikawa nodded immediately, secretly thinking that his revelation had not been in vain.
The reason he revealed so much important information right away was to shock the Fourth Generation and make him hesitate to act rashly and form a united front, which is the basis for cooperation.
"Then it's decided! Now let's talk about that Akatsuki organization and Madara Uchiha. I need to confirm whether your plan will succeed. What consequences and dangers will it bring to Konoha if it fails? Also, will Sasuke's return have any negative impact on the Uchiha?" The Fourth Hokage changed the subject and stared at Ishikawa cautiously.
Although Ishikawa spoke with absolute certainty and confidence, he had to be cautious in case anything happened, given that it concerned the safety of Konoha.
But when confronted with his questioning, Ishikawa simply shook his head slightly…
"I'm sorry, but I have to keep these things confidential for Sasuke's safety. But don't worry too much, I'll stay here until Sasuke returns to ensure the plan goes smoothly."
Although he trusted Eien, Ishikawa had to be cautious because their opponents were Uchiha Madara and the cunning Black Zetsu.
Then, with a calm smile, Ishikawa turned to Rin, his left eye flashing crimson, "Release the seal. Our ANBU vice-captain has been waiting outside for a long time..."
"The deputy captain of the Dark Guard??"
The fourth generation and Rin were both stunned and taken aback. Rin subconsciously obeyed and broke the seal.
“Of course, Orochimaru is also the director of the Root Research Institute, so the daily ANBU missions must be handled by others. And only he can give us peace of mind.” Ishikawa shrugged and looked towards the office door.
The next instant, "bang bang bang..."
"Minato-sensei, are you inside? I need to talk to you."
"And me, the passionate youthful beast Might Guy, the Fourth Hokage..."
