"Naruto is indeed... my son!"
Kushina said, emphasizing the word 'my'.
Her meaning was that this was the son of the 'her' in this world.
However, others didn't hear it that way.
Because Kushina immediately continued: "What surprises me is that you actually know this is my son! I, the previous Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, Konoha's Jonin, Uzumaki Kushina, and the son of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato!"
"Those who know, know Naruto is the son of me and Namikaze Minato. Those who don't would think he's some bastard Konoha picked up from somewhere!"
Looking at Tsunade and Kakashi, Kushina angrily demanded: "You know this is my son, so tell me, what kind of living conditions has Naruto had?"
"Drinking expired milk daily, eating expired instant noodles! At 13, he's malnourished, becoming even shorter than girls!"
"Tell me, Kakashi, and Tsunade-nee, is this how Konoha treats the child of a hero, the descendant of a meritorious person?"
"My inheritance? Minato's inheritance? So many things… where did they all go?"
"I don't understand! Tell me!" Kushina shouted loudly.
Hearing Kushina's words, everyone fell silent for a moment.
'What was bound to come had come.' Even though Tsunade had mentally prepared in advance, she was still somewhat caught off guard.
After all, imagining it was one thing, facing it was another.
Thus, after Kushina's speech, everyone fell silent.
While others could remain silent, Naruto could not.
Hearing Kushina's words, Naruto was utterly dumbfounded.
Even if he was illiterate and didn't know that Minato was the Fourth Hokage, if you read the words 'Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato' together, he still knew them!
And Kushina's words directly revealed his parentage!
Instantly, a mist gathered in Naruto's blue eyes!
"Kakashi-sensei, is all this true? What she said... is it all true?"
"Kakashi-sensei? Pervy Sage? Granny Tsunade?" Naruto looked at the people he trusted one by one, his voice trembling.
Seeing Naruto like this, they could no longer remain silent.
Naruto had truly suffered too much over the years. Now that Kushina was back, there was no need to keep him in the dark anymore.
"Yes!" After exchanging glances, Jiraiya finally stepped forward.
Jiraiya let out a long sigh: "Naruto, you are indeed the child of Kushina and Minato, meaning, you're the son of the Fourth Hokage!"
"And I am Minato's teacher. The name 'Naruto' actually comes from one of my novels. Minato named you based on that novel."
"Strictly speaking, I'm actually your teacher's teacher's teacher!"
Jiraiya said with a somewhat kind smile.
At the same time, Kakashi chimed in: "I'm also can be said to be your senior brother. After all, Minato-sensei was my Jonin Instructor back then!"
"My grandmother was Uzumaki Mito, a member of the Uzumaki Clan. And Kushina is also from the Uzumaki Clan, so Kushina is actually my younger cousin. I'm your great-aunt!" Tsunade also spoke up.
Hearing everyone's words, Naruto was stunned!
"Ah?"
"Ahhhhhhh?" Naruto was dumbstruck.
Originally, he thought he was just a weak, pitiful, and helpless little orphan.
But looking at it now, where was he a little orphan? Damn it, it seemed everyone important in Konoha was related to him!
So, Naruto's past self-image as a little, worthless orphan completely fell apart!
Then, the question arose: If someone with his treatment wasn't an orphan...
In this world, who exactly was the orphan?
Naruto fell into immense confusion!
A huge sense of bewilderment enveloped him.
However, although confused at the moment, Naruto was only puzzled. He didn't generate any negative emotions at all!
Seeing Naruto like this, Kushina shook her head, looking very helpless.
Thus, with Kushina silent, the atmosphere grew cold again.
A good while later, Naruto finally regained his composure.
Looking at Kushina, Naruto, feeling a child's respect and love for parents, took two steps forward and called out:
"Mom...!"
In the past, Naruto had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet his parents.
But now, truly seeing Kushina, Naruto only wanted to pour out his feelings of longing to her.
However, at this moment, a situation that shocked everyone appeared!
Seeing Naruto about to run towards her, Kushina raised her hand, making a gesture to stop him: "Stop, Naruto. Don't come over here."
Looking at Naruto's incredulous expression, Kushina said: "You are indeed my son, but I am not your mother!"
"If I had to define the relationship, think of me as your biological aunt!"
"If you can accept such a relationship, then come over, Naruto. Your aunt will definitely treat you better than those people around you!"
Kushina said.
Her attitude was crystal clear!
