Chapter 113 - 13

Chapter 13 Bloodline Limit"You hit well."Minato said, his voice not heavy, but every word felt like it was weighted with lead."If there is anything else you want to hit, just go ahead...""One punch is enough."Naruto interrupted Minato, not letting him finish his sentence in front of Kushina.One punch was to end it; throwing a second would be foolish."Minato!"Kushina stepped forward quickly and grabbed Minato Namikaze's arm.Kushina told herself that this was something between father and son that had to be resolved, and she shouldn't interfere."I'm fine, Kushina!"Minato Namikaze shook his head to indicate he was fine, then his gaze turned sharp again; the habitual thinking of the Fourth Hokage overcame the sentimentality of the reunion within a few seconds."Naruto, wait a moment."Minato's tone became serious. Although his stomach still hurt, making his voice a bit weak, his eyes already carried the calm light of analysis:"According to my perception, the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style sealing the Nine-Tailed inside you has not been damaged, and there are no signs of the Nine-Tailed rioting.""Since the seal is stable, why am I here?""Why is your mother here too?""What is going on here?""That's right, Naruto."Kushina also turned to look at Naruto. Although the joy of reunion still hung on the undried tear tracks at the corners of her eyes, her curiosity had been completely piqued:"According to the Sealing Jutsu plan your father and I set up, my Chakra should only be activated at the critical moment when you try to control the Nine-Tailed's power, serving as a safeguard mechanism to assist you in suppressing the Nine-TailedChakra.""But now, the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style is clearly intact, and even the outer seal hasn't been broken, yet you called both of us out.""This isn't just unexpected; this is completely outside the plan."Kushina paused and reached out to touch herself.In her Chakra form, she could still perceive her energy consumption, and a look of worry appeared on her face:"And I can feel that our Chakra is constantly being consumed.""If you called us out just to see us, child, there isn't much time left.""Mom, Dad, I know you're anxious, but please don't panic."Naruto raised his hands in a soothing gesture: "I called you out because I need you to do me a favor.""Wait..."At this moment, Minato raised his hand to interrupt Naruto, his gaze steady and focused: "Naruto, before talking about the favor, I have a more important question to ask you first."He took a half-step forward and leaned down slightly to bring himself level with Naruto's line of sight.This movement brought him closer to Naruto and allowed Naruto to see more clearly the gentleness characteristic of the Fourth Hokage, as well as the sharp inquiry in Minato's eyes."My existence and your mother's are embedded in the deep structure of the Sealing Jutsu. Logically, we would only have a chance to be passively activated if the seal were heavily damaged or if you were near death.""But you just said you found us actively. This level of consciousness control and Chakra interference capability, I'm afraid, cannot be explained by just the words 'good talent'.""So, Naruto, can you tell me how exactly you managed to separate and summon mine and your mother's Chakra from the deep structure of the seal?"It was quiet for a full three seconds.Naruto scratched the back of his head.This movement carried a bit of the original owner's lingering body memory, but his thirty-year-old soul controlled the rhythm unhurriedly while his brain operated at high speed.Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth.He couldn't say he was a transmigrator, couldn't say he knew the plot by heart, and couldn't say he had an ability called Absolute Control.It wasn't that he didn't trust Minato and Kushina; they were already dead, and these memories couldn't be read by the living after the Chakra form dissipated.But Naruto had developed a habit: his biggest trump cards were always kept in the deepest box in his heart, and he gave the key to no one.He had to make up a reasonable explanation.An explanation that could hold up under the settings of this Ninja World, one that could convince a genius Ninja without exposing himself."The story starts from a previous mission."A moment later, Naruto spoke slowly, his speed neither fast nor slow:"When we were executing a protection mission in the Land of Waves, we clashed with the Hidden Mist rogue Ninja Zabuza Momochi and his subordinate Haku.""During the battle, I was hit by Haku's senbon in multiple acupoints. My Chakra flow completely stalled for a while, and my body was in a near-death state."Minato Namikaze and Kushina frowned at the same time, but they didn't interrupt him.Naruto continued: "At that moment of near-death, something seemed to be activated in my body.""It wasn't the Nine-Tailed, but a completely different power. It allowed me to perceive the existence of everything in my body, including Chakra, meridians, organs, and even the structural texture of the seal.""After I regained consciousness, I found that I could control this power at will, letting it help me see any corner inside my body."Naruto paused and glanced at Minato's expression; the latter was listening intently, the analytical light in his eyes growing brighter.Naruto continued."After having this ability, I tried to explore my own Chakra during recovery, and as a result, I detected the presence of your Chakra in the deep structure of the seal.""Two powers that are homologous to my Chakra but have subtle differences; they were hidden very deep but couldn't escape my perception.""I used this ability to separate you from the seal structure and temporarily materialized you independently into this mental space.""That is the whole process of how I summoned you.""Bloodline Limit?"Minato Namikaze and Kushina asked the same question almost in unison.Their voices overlapped, and the confusion in their tones was identical.Minato turned to look at Kushina, the meaning in his eyes was: Does your Uzumaki Clan have this kind of bloodline inheritance?You are the expert in this area; you explain it.Kushina received his gaze and froze for a moment, then the expression on her face went through four stages at a very fast speed: confusion → thinking → realization → rage."You bastard, Minato!"Kushina grabbed Minato's ear and twisted it hard.The movement was so practiced that it was clear she hadn't practiced it little before she died: "What is the meaning of that look?""Are you suspecting that Naruto is not your son?"Minato Namikaze:?Minato's head was twisted to the side, and a big question mark appeared on his face.He had no idea how he had stepped into a minefield.He subconsciously raised his hands to explain, but with his ear being pulled, his dignity was completely gone."That's not it, Kushina, you misunderstood!"Minato endured the pain and used the rapid-speaking ability he had cultivated while handling urgent official business in the Hokage Office to explain quickly:"Our clan has no bloodline inheritance of a Bloodline Limit; I know this better than anyone."
