Ninja World Live: The Ninja Rabbit I Found Was Actually Kaguya

Children and Grandchildren Group Chat

Namikaze Minato: Kakashi, do you confirm this news is true?

Kakashi: ...

Senju Tobirama: Kakashi, you can't speak nonsense.

Senju Tobirama: We're already dead. Don't make light of this.

Kakashi: ...

Hashirama (Big Pillar Idiot): This Naruto is Minato's son, that Naruto?

Kakashi: ...

Kakashi: I swear on my name, and on the name of my father, Sakumo Hatake—the White Fang of Konoha—that this is true.

Kakashi: This Naruto… is indeed the son of Minato-sensei.

Kakashi: There's no mistake. Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Namikaze Minato: ...

Namikaze Minato: ...

Namikaze Minato: ...

Minato was struck speechless. The revelation had nearly broken him.

At that moment, Naruto was being examined by Kitahara Hitoshi.

Kitahara's Rinnegan glowed faintly, swirling with immense insight and divine clarity. His perception pierced through Naruto's body—not to observe the boy himself, but to scan the internal Chakra system flowing within.

The Chakra system of a ninja was a fascinating construct. Theoretically, Chakra can be cultivated and refined through rigorous training. But Kitahara never accepted that idea as absolute.

In his understanding, Chakra was never originally meant to be divided. It was the Sage of Six Paths who first inherited the full scope of Chakra and then disseminated it among humanity. His descendants passed it on through generations, and that very dilution led to a decline in Chakra potency over the ages.

This was the truth behind the modern shinobi being far weaker than those of the ancient era.

Yet, this logic had exceptions. There existed rare individuals with an immense natural reserve of Chakra, deviating from this degeneration.

"How… how dangerous is this?" Naruto stuttered. "Or... is there nothing you can do?"

Naruto's voice trembled. He noticed Kitahara's Rinnegan silently spinning and grew anxious. The silence reminded him of a traditional healer examining a patient in silence, frowning deeply—never a good sign.

"…Oh."

Kitahara finally spoke.

"Your body is fine."

"In fact, you possess over a thousand times the Chakra of an average shinobi."

"If measured in terms of elite jōnin, you have about the same Chakra as one hundred Kakashis."

Kakashi: …

Kakashi: ?

Hashirama: Huh?

But the chat was quickly drowned by the shock that followed.

Minato was overwhelmed by guilt and silence. Tobirama was stunned into speechlessness.

The Fourth Hokage had sacrificed himself for the village, entrusting his son to Hiruzen Sarutobi… yet this child—his child—was hated, rejected, bullied, and ignored by the very people Minato once protected.

A Hokage's son… treated like this?

Tobirama's spiritual jaw fell open. Words failed him.

"Hah…"

Naruto nodded quietly. "As long as there's a way."

"Eh?!"

"Wait!"

"I have a thousand times more Chakra than normal?!"

His eyes widened with disbelief.

"Yes," Kitahara responded calmly.

"You're special. Part of it comes from your bloodline."

"You possess the physique of the Uzumaki clan."

"The Uzumaki were known for their massive Chakra reserves. They were considered naturally resilient, their bodies overflowing with vitality and life force."

Naruto blinked in confusion.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, sure, but…"

"I'm from a clan? A special clan?"

This was the first time he had heard anything about his heritage.

"The Uzumaki were powerful," Kitahara explained. "Their Chakra was so dense it could be materialized. They had a unique Kekkei Genkai technique—Adamantine Sealing Chains—used to bind Tailed Beasts."

"But before we continue…"

Kitahara's gaze shifted again.

It wasn't directed at Naruto or his Chakra coils.

It was aimed at the entity sealed deep within—at the Nine Tails.

The space around them suddenly darkened. Only the eerie purple glow of the Rinnegan illuminated the void.

Boom.

A sound echoed—the heavy slam of a massive gate closing shut.

Then, Naruto's body began to change.

The six whisker-like marks on his face faded.

The fox-like traces vanished.

"Huh?!"

"My whiskers—"

"They're gone!"

Naruto frantically rubbed his face in shock.

Hashirama: What just happened?

Senju Tobirama: ...

Namikaze Minato: Kitahara-kun must have sealed the Nine Tails again. Or rather, suppressed it.

Hashirama: The Nine Tails… does this mean…

Namikaze Minato: Yes, First Hokage. You once sealed the Nine Tails into Lady Mito's body.

Namikaze Minato: After Mito passed away, it fell to me. Kushina, my wife, became the next Jinchūriki.

Namikaze Minato: But then a masked man with the Sharingan attacked Konoha. He released the Nine Tails from Kushina.

Namikaze Minato: In the end, I had no choice. I used the Reaper Death Seal to divide the Nine Tails—half into the Shinigami, half into my newborn son.

Hashirama: The Reaper Death Seal… so you used that forbidden Uzumaki technique.

Namikaze Minato: Yes. As you know, the Uzumaki clan specialized in sealing arts. But using that seal costs a life.

Namikaze Minato: My soul was taken by the Shinigami, and I sealed the remaining half of the Nine Tails inside Naruto.

Hashirama: So the masked man with Sharingan—whether he's Madara or not—he must be connected to these events.

Hashirama: Seems I left behind more trouble than I thought.

Minato remained silent, weighed down by emotion.

He finally spoke.

Namikaze Minato: Kitahara-kun's Rinnegan allowed him to directly reseal the Nine Tails.

Namikaze Minato: The chaotic Chakra that was affecting Naruto's body… it's gone.

Namikaze Minato: I never considered this before.

Namikaze Minato: Even though Naruto is from the Uzumaki clan, as a newborn Jinchūriki, his body was still vulnerable to the Nine Tails' influence.

Namikaze Minato: The whisker marks—those were a result of that.

Namikaze Minato: I should have realized it the moment I saw him.

Namikaze Minato: He's my son.

Namikaze Minato: I was so caught up in ideals… I failed to recognize my own blood.

Namikaze Minato: Naruto… he's my Naruto. My son.

Senju Tobirama: Rinnegan can do that?

Senju Tobirama: It can seal Tailed Beasts directly?

Hashirama: It can.

Hashirama: In the past, Madara controlled the Nine Tails with just the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hashirama: But Kitahara's Rinnegan is beyond that—an evolved form of ocular power.

Hashirama: Its capabilities may exceed what even I imagined.

Though the older generation of Hokage continued their grave discussion, Kakashi sensed a strange energy looming over them all… something vast and inevitable drawing closer.
