Fifty-one years ago, in Konoha, in a remote cave somewhere in the Land of Fire.
Outside the cave stood a group of masked shinobi, all on high alert as they carefully watched the surrounding forest, keeping an eye on every movement of the wind and grass.
However, a woman's loud screams suddenly came from inside the cave, completely contrasting with the serious atmosphere outside.
"AHHHHH! MINATO, YOU IDIOT!"
Uzumaki Kushina let out another painful scream, cursing and scolding Namikaze Minato. Hearing his wife screaming inside the cave, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, stood outside the door looking nervous and embarrassed.
Finally, amidst the loud cries of a newborn baby, the pale-faced Uzumaki Kushina stopped screaming.
Sarutobi Biwako, who had helped deliver the baby boy, carefully cleaned him.
However, during the process, she noticed something extremely strange.
The newborn baby boy actually had a monkey-like tail sticking out from behind him.
"It's really strange... How can a human baby have a monkey's tail?"
Biwako stared at the tail in confusion.
However, she didn't have time to think about it. She quickly finished cleaning the baby and placed him beside Kushina.
Looking at the little blonde-haired baby lying beside her, who wasn't crying or making a fuss but was instead staring at her with his wide eyes, a warm feeling instantly filled Kushina's heart.
At this moment, Sarutobi Biwako asked Kushina, "Kushina, this is your and Minato's child. Have you decided on a name yet?"
The pale-faced Kushina smiled weakly.
"Minato named him Naruto. It's the same name as the protagonist of Jiraiya-sensei's novel."
As Kushina looked lovingly at Naruto, Naruto himself had already begun to figure out what was happening.
It seems I've been reborn.
Based on the conversation between the red-haired woman and the midwife in front of him, he had apparently transmigrated into the dangerous world of Naruto.
Not only that...
He had actually become Naruto Uzumaki, the child of destiny.
The corner of Naruto's mouth twitched.
Now, where's my cheat?
Aren't transmigrators supposed to get some kind of cheat or golden finger? Where's mine?
Suddenly, he noticed his tail.
It was extremely conspicuous, and he discovered that he could actually move it with his will.
This is an amazing feeling.
Can you imagine suddenly having an extra limb besides your arms and legs?
Naruto stared at the monkey-like tail in disbelief, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
If I'm seeing this correctly... this really is a monkey's tail.
Who the hell has a monkey's tail?!
Wait...
Could it be...?
"Damn it!"
I actually have Saiyan blood!
Kushina naturally noticed Naruto's strange tail as well.
She stared at it in surprise as it continued wagging from side to side.
Then she suddenly burst out laughing.
"I don't know why Naruto has a tail, but it looks pretty cute."
As she playfully teased Naruto's tail, two screams suddenly came from the delivery room.
Kushina's eyes widened in alarm.
She looked over and saw Sarutobi Biwako and another medical-nin responsible for assisting with the birth fall to the ground one after another.
A mysterious man wearing a tiger-striped mask had appeared inside the delivery room.
Kushina stared at him in horror.
"Who are you?!"
The masked man didn't waste any time answering.
He immediately walked toward Kushina, intending to take the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki away.
At that moment, the door was kicked open.
A kunai engraved with special markings flew toward the masked man's hand.
Caught off guard, the masked man didn't have time to take Kushina.
Instead, he grabbed Naruto's swaddling clothes and lifted the newborn baby into his hand.
In an instant, Namikaze Minato appeared beside the Flying Thunder God Kunai.
He immediately assessed the situation inside the delivery room.
His eyes first fell upon Sarutobi Biwako and the medical-nin lying motionless on the floor.
Then he looked toward his panicked wife, Uzumaki Kushina.
Finally, his gaze locked onto the tiger-masked man.
"Who are you?"
The masked man remained silent.
Meanwhile, Naruto, who was being held in his arms, was trembling in fear.
Minato didn't know who the masked man was.
But Naruto did.
Having read the original story, he knew exactly who this man was.
This is the villain who's actions would eventually lead to my father's death... Uchiha Obito.
A man who lost the girl he loved and became obsessed with destroying the world, the multiverse's Ultimate SIMP.
Ever since Obito had fallen into darkness, he had become an extremely dangerous person.
It could even be said that he had abandoned his humanity and conscience.
The current Uchiha Obito is completely insane.
What happens if I fall into the hands of someone like him?
Sure enough, Obito had secretly attached an explosive tag to Naruto's swaddling clothes without anyone noticing.
The explosive tag was hidden extremely well and couldn't be detected unless someone inspected the swaddling clothes closely.
Naruto wanted to scream and warn Minato, but he couldn't speak.
All he could do was babble and cry.
Under Naruto's terrified gaze, Uchiha Obito threw him, still wrapped in his swaddling clothes, toward Namikaze Minato.
The moment Minato caught Naruto, he sensed that something was wrong.
Without hesitation, he threw the swaddling clothes aside and teleported away with Naruto using the Flying Thunder God.
A massive explosion erupted behind them.
When the explosion finally stopped, Minato returned to the delivery room.
The masked man had already disappeared.
At the same time, so had his wife, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Kushina.
Hearing the roar of the Nine-Tails coming from the direction of Konoha, Minato clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down.
At this moment, he wasn't merely Kushina's husband.
He was also the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure.
Faced with the crisis of his wife being kidnapped and the Nine-Tails being unleashed within the village, he had to remain calm and think of a solution.
He first placed the newborn Naruto somewhere safe.
Looking at Naruto's worried little face, Minato smiled gently.
Then he turned around and disappeared in his Hokage cloak.
After being left alone in a safe place, Naruto—now wrapped in a brand-new swaddling cloth—finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, his mood was extremely complicated.
Having read the original story, he naturally knew what was about to happen.
The Nine-Tails would rampage through Konoha.
The village would suffer enormous losses.
His father, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and his mother, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Kushina, would both die.
And he would be left behind.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would raise him while keeping the truth about his parents hidden, eventually leading Naruto to spend his childhood carrying out missions and working himself to the bone for Konoha.
The more Naruto stared at the ceiling, the angrier he became.
Damn it!
Why couldn't you give me a few years to develop first?!
With my Saiyan blood, if I had only a few years to grow stronger, wouldn't I be able to beat that Uchiha guy into the ground?
Unfortunately, he was still a newborn.
Even if he possessed Saiyan blood, there was nothing he could do right now to prevent the deaths of his parents.
Thinking about this, helplessness and anger filled his heart.
Suddenly, a terrifying green energy erupted from his tiny body.
The room shook violently.
Naruto was startled.
He immediately calmed himself and carefully examined his surroundings.
There was no one else nearby.
Furthermore, it seemed that he was very far from Konoha.
This wasn't the kind of tremor caused by the Nine-Tails rampaging through the village.
That's strange.
Why did an earthquake suddenly occur?
And what was that green chakra that just erupted from my body?
Could it be the Nine-Tails' chakra?
But the Nine-Tails hasn't been sealed inside me yet.
So why did its chakra appear?
Then Naruto suddenly thought of a possibility.
His tiny body trembled with excitement.
I understand!
My Saiyan bloodline isn't ordinary.
I'm not just a Saiyan.
I'm a Legendary Super Saiyan!
An actual Super Saiyan!
Outside Konoha, in a forest.
Namikaze Minato stood several meters away from Uchiha Obito, who was still wearing his tiger-striped mask.
One of them held a Flying Thunder God Kunai.
The other had prepared a special chain.
The wind blew through the forest.
A single leaf was carried away by the breeze.
The moment it passed between them, both men moved.
They rushed toward each other simultaneously.
They had already exchanged several brief attacks.
After learning more about each other's abilities, both men realized that they were similar in one important aspect.
Neither of them could afford to be careless.
This was a battle between two users of space-time ninjutsu.
The fight wasn't simply about raw strength.
It was a battle of speed, reaction time, and tactical thinking.
Whoever managed to make contact with the other's space-time ninjutsu first would gain the advantage.
Therefore, neither man dared to make a mistake.
The moment they got within range of each other, they attacked.
Minato hurled a Flying Thunder God Kunai straight toward Obito.
Obito didn't dodge.
He allowed the kunai to pass directly through his forehead.
For an ordinary person, having a kunai pierce their head would be a fatal injury.
But Obito didn't even react.
There was no blood.
The kunai simply passed through his head as though his body were nothing more than a phantom.
At the same time, Minato was holding a Rasengan in one hand.
The corners of Obito's mouth curled upward beneath his mask.
I won.
The Rasengan was still some distance away from his body.
Meanwhile, his hand was already approaching Minato.
No matter how powerful this man is, he can't escape once he's trapped inside my Kamui dimension.
Once he's inside my Kamui dimension, he'll be nothing more than a fish on a chopping block.
Obito could already see victory.
Just before his right hand touched Minato, however, something unexpected happened.
The Namikaze Minato who had been standing directly in front of him suddenly disappeared.
A moment later—
BOOM!
A powerful blow struck Obito directly in the back.
He crashed violently into the ground.
Only after being knocked down and seriously injured did Obito understand what had happened.
So that's it...
From the very beginning, Minato's real target had been the blind spot behind him.
He had used the Flying Thunder God to teleport to a marked location behind Obito and attack from an unexpected angle.
He actually attacked from the blind spot of my Sharingan.
This man really has figured out how to fight against the Sharingan.
Obito gritted his teeth.
At this moment, he was seriously injured.
If he continued fighting, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
I need to retreat.
Obito turned around and attempted to escape.
But before he could get away, another Flying Thunder God Kunai appeared directly in front of him.
The reason was simple.
The instant Minato's Rasengan struck Obito, he had placed a Flying Thunder God seal on him.
Minato appeared beside Obito and placed both hands against him.
Then he activated the Contract Seal.
The contract that had allowed Obito to control the Nine-Tails was immediately broken.
Obito had lost control of the Nine-Tails.
He didn't dare remain there any longer.
He quickly feinted an attack and then escaped into his Kamui dimension.
Minato watched the masked man flee.
His expression became solemn as he looked toward the direction of the Nine-Tails' rampage.
The masked man was dangerous.
But the Nine-Tails was an even greater threat.
At the same time, Naruto had finally figured out his golden finger.
He had been right.
His Saiyan bloodline was definitely not that of an ordinary Saiyan.
It was the bloodline of a Legendary Super Saiyan.
