UK:GSW Chapter 454 – When Naruto's Parents Meet
Because he was used to operating under an alias and had already agreed to delay Uchiha Madara's discovery of the truth as much as possible, even now—while watching the live transmission from Uchiha Kei in the main world—Hashirama in the main world was still appearing in the form of Muzi.
Since Hashirama was doing so, Uzumaki Mito also stood beside Muzi in the guise of Uzumaki Kenshin.
Thus, the husband and wife used their alias forms to watch the main world's "Old Man Madara" and the Hashirama of Ninja World No. 2 engage in a fierce verbal sparring match.
To be honest, their feelings were rather complicated—for both "Muzi" and "Uzumaki Kenshin."
Among them, "Uzumaki Kenshin" felt especially conflicted—relieved that that damn Madara wouldn't be fighting her for Hashirama anymore, yet also frustrated and annoyed that Hashirama was back to sparring with Madara again. The emotional ups and downs were intense; the complexity could fill a million-word novel—abstract, and filled with pent-up grievances.
Let's just say, even in the chaotic and absurd America of 2025, this was the sort of wild and explosive scene people would love to watch. These old-timers from Konoha's founding era sure knew how to make a spectacle.
As for witnessing another "self" reunite with his son, Sakumo Hatake was quite calm. He was the clearest-headed about the differences between the two ninja worlds. As a true samurai, his will and perception were extremely rational. From the very beginning, he had understood that Kakashi in Ninja World No. 2 was someone from another world—only the Kakashi in the main world was truly his son.
Fortunately, Kakashi in the main world had grown up well. Although Sakumo had missed some years of being there for the boy, he had made up for it over the past year.
Although the kid always ended up exhausted and miserable from the training Sakumo gave him and his little friends, Sakumo believed his son was "suffering happily."
Kakashi's mutterings and complaints didn't matter—children never had a clear grasp of things, and their protests didn't need to be taken seriously. You just had to enforce things strictly.
After all, there was no such thing as "happy education" in the ninja world, and everyone agreed with the notion that a strict teacher produced outstanding students. Even someone as kind and sunny as Minato Namikaze never went easy on his disciples when it was time to be strict.
And so, the resurrected began their new lives in the world of the living.
Of course, resurrection was a big deal—so in Ninja World No. 2, the matter was kept strictly confidential, and the main world naturally wouldn't announce it either. It was top secret.
The resurrected each had things they wanted to do—some wanted to see the ninja world again, some wanted to get used to new identities, some wanted to learn about both Konohas, and some wanted to make up for love they'd missed for over a decade.
For example, the Fourth Hokage and his wife—after being revived, they didn't want to do anything but spend time with Naruto as his parents, to make up for nearly eighteen years of lost parental love.
Although Naruto had already received some measure of that love from the main world's Minato and Kushina, those two weren't married yet—and truthfully, they weren't ready to be parents. It was different from being with the Fourth Hokage couple.
Naruto, for his part, also enjoyed this long-lost parental affection and actively helped his parents learn about and adapt to the new era.
Since Ninja World No. 2 was in a period of peaceful development, Naruto didn't have to be on constant watch. With permission and support from the Fifth Hokage Tsunade and the older Jiraiya, Naruto took a long vacation to travel with his parents.
In fact, using his special privileges, Naruto even took his parents traveling between the two ninja worlds.
Although his mastery of the Flying Raijin Jutsu was nowhere near as good as his father Minato's, taking his parents on trips was still no problem.
Thus, the Fourth Hokage and his wife, guided by their now fully grown and mature son, got to enjoy the blissful "retirement life" of traveling the world ahead of schedule.
Of course, they traveled in disguise with the Transformation Jutsu, and White Zetsu agents hidden around the ninja world ensured their journey wouldn't be disturbed.
After all, Uchiha Kei was still Naruto's uncle—that wasn't going to change.
The first stop on their journey was naturally the current Konoha of Ninja World No. 2. For the Fourth Hokage couple, this Konoha felt unfamiliar—during the Nine-Tails' attack, much of the village had been destroyed, and after reconstruction, many things were different.
With technical support and genjutsu game products from the main world, today's No. 2 Konoha was full of vitality, embarking on an era of grand development and massive construction projects.
People from all over the ninja world gathered in Konoha, contributing to its growth.
Although No. 2 Konoha didn't control the Land of Fire directly, and lacked the foundation of the main world's Konoha, the Ninja Alliance still made it the de facto leader of Ninja World No. 2. While not a ruler, it had plenty of resources to mobilize, and its defeat of the Hidden Cloud had intimidated ambitious forces throughout the world—ensuring they would behave for a long time.
This gave No. 2 Konoha an excellent environment for growth. What the Fourth Hokage couple saw was unprecedented development and construction. Many new workshops surprised them—it didn't look like the development of a ninja village at all, and it clashed with their beliefs as shinobi.
Naruto spoke at length, explaining the importance of self-reform for ninja and economic development. He stressed that industrialization alongside systemic reform was the only way to achieve true peace in the ninja world, so shinobi wouldn't spend another thousand years as mere hired muscle and weapons.
He backed his words with numerous examples—many from the main world, but also plenty from Ninja World No. 2.
He also shared stories and reforms he'd experienced in the "copy instance" system of the Learning Space—taken from yet another world—to help his parents understand better.
The Fourth Hokage couple did understand, though they were still astonished. That astonishment soon gave way to boundless pride, joy, and bittersweet emotion.
Naruto's growth had surpassed anything they could have imagined—so much that they almost couldn't believe it.
In their eyes, Naruto had completely surpassed the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze—his own father—and had become a "finished product" in every sense.
It gave them a complicated feeling—like they hadn't had the chance to teach or raise their son before he had grown into someone so incredible that he no longer needed their guidance.
Still, they were truly happy—seeing their child so exceptional filled them with irrepressible pride, smiles never leaving their faces.
When Naruto finished speaking, they didn't hold back their praise and parental pride.
Naruto, however, just smiled without arrogance. When No. 2 Minato sincerely said Naruto had surpassed him, Naruto shook his head seriously.
"No, Dad. I haven't surpassed you. You only think I'm better because you never received the truly advanced and useful education that the other you got."
"Compared to the other world's Dad, I still have many shortcomings. I need to keep working to catch up to him."
Hearing this, the couple was stunned. They couldn't believe that their flawless-in-their-eyes son thought he was inferior to "Minato Namikaze."
They instinctively thought he was being modest, but his serious expression showed he was simply stating the truth.
This left them both shocked and deeply curious about the other Minato.
But meeting him would have to wait until they visited the main world. Until then, Naruto kept traveling with his parents around Ninja World No. 2, telling them about many events—
including the truth about the Nine-Tails' attack.
When they learned the culprit who destroyed their family was Obito Uchiha, the couple was incredulous. In their memory, Obito had always been warm, cheerful, and sincere—if a bit clumsy—and someone who valued his friends deeply. They had once believed he had the qualities to become Hokage.
They simply couldn't picture him turning into such a madman.
Naruto calmly explained that members of the Uchiha clan could become extreme and unstable when they lost love, and that awakening the Mangekyō by trauma amplified their emotions greatly. Because Obito valued bonds so much, losing them drove him to the opposite extreme.
The couple fell silent, their expressions complicated—especially after learning Obito had received his punishment. With their target for vengeance gone, there was nothing left to pursue.
They chose not to speak of the traitorous student again. After all, with the man gone, dwelling on it was pointless.
Naruto made no comment—he knew Obito was still suffering punishment and torment, not truly gone. But there was no need to burden his parents with that knowledge.
Compared to the main world's Minato, No. 2 Minato was still immature—Naruto knew this well.
So, he wouldn't expect too much from his father.
Once the two Minatos met, they would have much to talk about.
After sharing many stories, Naruto spoke of the genjutsu game, inviting his parents to join him in it.
Curious and without objection, they accepted. Once inside the genjutsu game world, they were instantly drawn in, quickly becoming addicted and finding joys they couldn't in the real world.
Gaming didn't conflict with their travel schedule—they could explore during the day and play at night, using the full, uncut version with online features. Since the Nine-Tails in No. 2 Ninja World was still inside Naruto, he served as a mobile super-network, ensuring they had genjutsu internet anywhere.
In truth, Naruto wanted to bring his parents into the Genjutsu Great World—where one could truly experience a second world and receive top-tier education.
Currently, learning scrolls could be used to enter the Learning Space, but the courses there were pre-set. In the Great World, members could access any resource they wanted directly.
That was the real privilege—and the mark of an insider.
Naruto wanted to secure spots for his parents.
However, he didn't ask outright—trusting that his uncle Uchiha Kei had his reasons for not giving them immediately.
So, he planned to ask once they reached the main world.
Half a month later, Naruto finally brought his parents to the main world.
Their first stop was, naturally, Konoha. There, Naruto took them to meet this world's Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
The main world's Minato and Kushina were calm enough—but the Fourth Hokage couple reacted strongly. Even though they had known and mentally prepared for the existence of another "them," actually seeing them in person brought a rush of strange feelings and curiosity.
Then they all smiled—and in that instant, the atmosphere warmed, as if some hidden switch had been flipped. A silent understanding passed between them.
Next, the two Kushinas began chatting, while the two Minatos shook hands, beginning the conversation between two men—and two fathers.
