Chapter 158 - Chapter 159: Give You a Father

Of course, he also knew very well that while it sounded simple, it would inevitably be quite difficult to accomplish and couldn't be completed in a short time.

Moreover, whether the effect would be good or if there would be any danger, remained uncertain.

Therefore, his main focus now was still on the Flying Thunder God Technique and Shadow Movement; as long as he learned either of these Ninjutsu, he could escape Jiraiya and Naruto's summoning restrictions.

As for Sage Mode, he would first learn the principles with Naruto, then take some time to observe Naruto's training process and draw on some of his experience as a reference.

"Now, I'll demonstrate to you how to gather natural energy."

After finishing his theoretical explanation, Fukasaku jumped in front of a giant stone frog, clasped his hands together, and began to gather natural energy.

After gathering natural energy, with a burst of strength, he, with his tiny body, actually lifted the giant stone frog.

After the demonstration, Fukasaku applied toad oil to Naruto, beginning the first step of Sage Mode training: sensing the presence of natural energy.

Adam also closed his eyes and entered his mental space.

"Yo, Kurama!"

He reached out and greeted Kurama, who opened its eyes, glanced around, gave no response, and then continued to close its eyes, feigning sleep.

It harbored Abomination towards all humans, and Adam was no exception, but because Adam occasionally let it out to move around, it didn't openly mock Adam.

But to say it would give him a pleasant look, that was certainly impossible.

Adam was used to this; he simply walked to the seal and skillfully began to peel off the sealing strip pasted on the iron gate.

In fact, with the Rinnegan, he had absolute control over Kurama; if he wished, he could completely use the Rinnegan's ocular power to forcibly control Kurama.

However, he felt it was unnecessary; each time he borrowed Kurama's power, although Kurama was not very willing, it was cooperative, and letting it out to relax occasionally was not a difficult matter.

With most of the seal peeled off, a figure once again appeared beside Adam.

"It's you again, who exactly are you?"

This time, when Minato appeared, he did not stop Adam from unsealing Kurama as he had the first time.

Logically, the wisp of consciousness he left behind, carrying his Chakra, should have dissipated after appearing once.

But this had happened several times; each time, the seal was torn by this person who claimed not to be his son, but each time he reappeared, it was a similar situation.

It left him utterly confused now.

"This is a long story, it's like this..."

Adam quickly repeated the same explanation he had given to the Konoha higher-ups.

Minato listened, his expression saying, "You must be kidding me."

Adam had already anticipated this; he reached behind him, and the scene of Naruto training Sage Mode under Fukasaku's guidance appeared before their eyes.

"That's your son, Naruto; he has been since childhood..."

Adam then roughly recounted Naruto's life over the past decade and the current situation of the Ninja World.

Looking at the vibrant Naruto outside the mental World and hearing about Naruto's experiences over the years, Minato was overcome with self-blame.

What Adam said didn't sound like lies; many details matched up, and from the first glance at the child outside, his inner intuition told him that was his son, Naruto.

He had originally sealed Kurama within Naruto, hoping Naruto would be treated as a hero, but he never expected it to turn out that way.

"If you still don't believe me, I can send you out to meet Naruto, but I have a condition."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Adam put forward his request.

He possessed the power of the Shinigami and the Six Paths power of the Rinnegan; sending this wisp of Minato's consciousness from his mental World into Naruto's mental World was not a difficult task.

"What condition?"

Minato asked.

Normally, according to his setup before his death, he would only appear to reinforce the seal and meet his son, Naruto, when Kurama was about to break through the seal.

But he didn't want that to happen, because that would also mean Naruto was in great danger.

So, if everything Adam said was true, and they could meet when Naruto was not in danger, that would naturally be the best outcome.

"Recently, I obtained the Ninjutsu scroll for the Flying Thunder God Technique from Fifth Hokage Tsunade, and I also received guidance from your former guard, Genma's squad, so I've gained some insights.

However, I'm still some distance from truly mastering this Ninjutsu.

My condition is that I help you meet Naruto, and you help me master the Flying Thunder God Technique faster!"

Without any unnecessary words, Adam directly stated his goal.

Minato pondered for a few seconds upon hearing this:

"Okay, I accept your condition."

Since Adam had already been allowed to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique by the Village, and held no hostility towards the Village, being Naruto's friend, he would still guide Adam in learning the Flying Thunder God Technique even without the condition of meeting Naruto.

The prerequisite was that what Adam said was true and not a deception.

This was also easy to verify; after meeting Naruto and chatting, he would naturally know.

Adam nodded:

"Okay, but it's too late today, time is almost up; I'll let you father and son meet tomorrow."

Listening to Fukasaku explain the principles of Sage Mode had already consumed a lot of time, and now, after talking with Minato until now, the one-hour limit was down to less than a minute.

Without waiting for Minato's reply, Adam left the mental World and returned to reality.

"Naruto, my time is up; I have to leave. I'll bring you a gift tomorrow."

"What gift?"

Naruto, whose head was covered in bumps from Fukasaku's tapping, immediately stopped training and rushed over at the mention of a gift.

He still savored the various flavors of instant noodles Adam had given him before.

"I'll give you a dad!"

Adam laughed and disappeared.

Naruto, however, was full of questions:

"What does 'give me a dad' mean?"

The next day, when Adam entered Mount Myōboku again, he saw Naruto still being hit with a stick by Fukasaku, but he had clearly made a lot of progress, already able to show the unique eye shadow of Sage Mode in one eye.

"Naruto, I brought you some food; take a break."

He pulled out a box, enlarged it with an expansion spell, and it was filled with food he had packed from the school cafeteria before coming.

Naruto, seeing this, immediately pounced on it like a hungry dog.

Eating the toad clan's food for the past two days had almost driven him to despair.

"Before you eat, someone wants to meet you!"

Seeing Naruto pounce on the food, Adam raised his hand and pressed it on Naruto's forehead, then closed his eyes, entered his mental space, and sent Minato's consciousness into Naruto's mental space.

"You have one hour to talk."
