I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!

Naruto took step after step toward Minato and Kushina.

Before he could say anything, eyes red with emotion—

Kushina acted first.

She didn't care about the people watching. She didn't care if it was embarrassing.

Right now, she only wanted to do one thing.

She stepped forward.

And tightly pulled Naruto into her embrace!

Finally.

She was able to do what she had wanted back at Ichiraku Ramen.

Naruto trembled in her arms, overwhelmed with emotion.

At that moment, Kushina could clearly feel the exhaustion, frustration, and loneliness hidden beneath Naruto's bright smile.

As someone who wasn't yet a mother, she didn't know how to comfort him.

All she could do was hold him even tighter, making the embrace as warm as possible.

But that was already enough.

For Naruto, this far exceeded his expectations.

Tears slipped uncontrollably from his eyes.

Minato stood beside them, watching the two embrace. After a moment, he stepped forward and placed his hands on their shoulders in quiet support.

The other people in the Hokage's office didn't interrupt.

They simply watched, observing this unusual yet deeply touching family reunion.

"There are no signs of genjutsu; no discrepancies in body language, speech, or expressions; and the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki clearly trusts him. That settles it!"

Orochimaru licked his lips with his long tongue, the first to confirm the truth.

"A parallel world actually exists! This sudden new revelation... is absolutely fascinating."

He was eager to learn more about this other world.

For instance, why had he killed his own teacher in that world?

And why was Naruto's surname Uzumaki and not Namikaze?

The implications were certainly intriguing.

As he watched the touching scene before him, Orochimaru smirked slightly, having already deduced a certain truth.

After some time, Naruto finally pulled away from Kushina, his voice thick with emotion.

"Thank you... I finally understand what it feels like to have parents."

Hearing that, Kushina didn't even bother wiping her tears. She immediately asked:

"Naruto! Where are your parents?"

"My parents... died on the day I was born," Naruto said quietly.

Kushina instinctively looked toward Minato.

Minato was silent for a moment before reaching out and gently patting Naruto's head.

"Do you hate them for it?"

"Of course not!" Naruto immediately looked up, answering loudly. "They were heroes of the village!"

Kushina couldn't hold back. She pulled Naruto into another hug.

"I'm sorry, Naruto! Life must have been so hard for you all these years!"

"Haha! It's not that bad," Naruto said with a goofy grin. "Besides, you don't need to apologize. Don't worry! Now that I'm here, the same tragedy won't happen again."

"Dad, Mom, and the future me will all live happily."

At this moment, Naruto's gaze was unwavering and full of conviction.

Meeting his parents for the first time made him incredibly happy. For a brief moment, he even thought staying in this world wouldn't be so bad.

But he knew.

This wasn't his world.

Updat𝒆d fr𝑜m freewebnøvel.com.

The people in his original world were in danger. He couldn't just abandon them.

Moreover, even if this world's Minato and Kushina accepted him, he couldn't steal the future that rightfully belonged to their own son.

The only thing he could do was warn them about future dangers and prevent another disaster.

Oh right!

There was also the threat of Hagoromo Gensou. He needed to tell them about that immediately.

Naruto pulled away from Kushina and looked around at everyone.

"I know you all still have doubts. Now, I'll provide undeniable proof."

Saying this, he turned to Kushina, hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head awkwardly and asked:

"Can I... call you Mom?"

Kushina, caught off guard, scratched her head in the exact same way.

"Well... I may not be a mother yet, and I'm not even that great at being a girlfriend, but if you want to call me that, go ahead. From now on, I'll do my best to be a proper mom!"

Clenching her fists, she declared her determination.

Naruto couldn't wait. He immediately called out, "Mom!"

Then, he added:

"Mom, can you give me some of the Nine-Tails' chakra?"

Hearing the second "Mom," Kushina didn't even hesitate.

She complied without a second thought.

Hiruzen tried to stop her but was too late.

Soon, a dense sphere of the Nine-Tails' chakra condensed in Kushina's palm.

Naruto reached out to grab it.

Kushina panicked. "Naruto, be careful!"

That was Nine-Tails' chakra.

Only a Jinchūriki could safely touch it.

"Don't worry, Mom," Naruto said confidently.

The next second.

His hand made contact with the chakra.

To everyone's surprise, the wild, corrosive chakra didn't harm him.

Quite the opposite.

Like a bird returning to its nest, the chakra smoothly detached from Kushina and merged perfectly into Naruto's body.

"This brat..."

Inside the sealed space, Kurama lifted its head in shock.

In the next moment.

Golden chakra cloaked Naruto's body.

He had directly activated Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

After flashing a bright grin at Kushina, Naruto turned to the others and said:

"In my original world, I was Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchūriki."

As soon as he said this.

Hiruzen's pupils contracted sharply. Orochimaru's smirk widened. The others reacted with similar shock.

Aside from a Jinchūriki, no one could wield the Nine-Tails' chakra so easily—let alone activate a chakra mode that normal Jinchūriki couldn't achieve.

Naruto had just given them the most irrefutable proof.

Only a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki could do this.

And the Nine-Tails—since being captured by the First Hokage—had only ever had two Jinchūriki.

It was impossible for a new, teenage Jinchūriki to appear out of nowhere.

At this moment, everyone present was forced to accept one truth.

Naruto was very likely telling the truth.

He really was from another world.

But there was still one last question.

"Where is the Nine-Tails inside you?" Hiruzen asked.

Naruto touched his stomach and said seriously:

"That's the reason I'm here."

"Because of a man named Hagoromo Gensou, the Nine-Tails inside me disappeared. I should have died, but the Sage of Six Paths revived me. After a long, complicated battle... we ended up here."

"The Sage of Six Paths?" Someone couldn't help but ask. "You mean that legendary figure actually exists?"

If Naruto hadn't just proven himself, most people here would have thought he was crazy.

Even now, there were still many skeptical gazes.

"The Sage still exists. But he said that technically, he's dead—just appearing in a different form. As for the specifics... his explanation was so complicated I forgot most of it. But I do remember his appearance."

Naruto then began vividly describing the Sage of Six Paths' features.

His eyes, just like Hagoromo Gensou's.

His white robes, similar to Hagoromo Gensou's.

The floating black spheres behind him, like Hagoromo Gensou's, except—
