Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

Chapter 13 I am not the Fourth Hokage. Right now, I am just a father.

"This blow was delivered for Naruko."

Looking at the pitiful-looking golden retriever in front of her, Ningxia felt no sympathy whatsoever.

While in Konoha, he had already consulted with several survivors of the Nine-Tails' rampage, and combined this with his understanding of Minato.

Ningxia can almost conclude that Shuimen didn't die in battle at all; he deliberately committed suicide for love!

"Naruko... but the Third Hokage promised me he would take good care of her!"

Minato thought Ningxia referred to his suicide pact with Naruko, leaving her alone, and wanted to explain that the Third Hokage was taking care of her.

"Stop, Nine-Tails, can you show this blond kid everything Naruto has gone through over the years?"

Ningxia interrupted the water gate and looked at the Nine-Tails who was watching the show.

"Hmph! Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to see his pained expression, not help you."

Although Kurama is not human, it is aware of human love, hate and grudges, and is very much looking forward to seeing the Fourth Hokage's expression when he sees his daughter's experiences in Konoha.

As Kurama showed Minato all the abuse, harm, and scorn that Naruto had suffered since infancy, Minato, who had initially placed great trust in the Third Hokage, gradually began to crumble.

The village he fought so hard to protect, in the end... they treated his children like this?

The Third Hokage promised him he would take good care of Naruko, yet he left her alone in an apartment, eating instant noodles, and enduring the villagers' malice, being called a fox spirit, and having stones thrown at her...

Even Minato, known as the Little Sun, couldn't suppress his hatred for the villagers and the Third Hokage at this moment. He knew that Jinchuriki would be ostracized, but what about the Third Hokage? What are you doing?

"Smack!!!"

Just as Minato was in a fit of impotent rage, Ningxia slapped him again, bringing him back to his senses.

"What are you pretending for?! Hurry up and collect the coins, give Naruto all the Flying Thunder God Techniques and Rasengans!"

Ningxia glared at Minato, knowing that Minato's intentions were good, but the Third Hokage had ruined them.

However, Minato must be held responsible for Naruko's tragic childhood.

"Naruko... could you come here for a second?"

Minato then realized that Naruko had been hiding by Ningxia's side ever since he appeared.

The gaze directed at me held no affection, only curiosity, doubt, and...estrangement.

For Naruko, her parents were strangers; she had never seen them since she could remember, and she endured the malice of the entire village as if she had fallen into an endless abyss of darkness.

Ningxia, on the other hand, was the light that shattered the darkness and shone into her heart.

Compared to her parents, Naruko trusts and relies on Ningxia more.

"..."

Minato smiled bitterly. He protected Konoha, the villagers, and the Will of Fire, but in the end... he failed to protect his most precious treasure.

"Naruko, I...I'm sorry, but this is what I've learned in my life. From now on, I must..."

Just as he had died, Minato relayed Kushina's and his last words. Only then did Naruko finally show some emotion, but she still held Ningxia tightly.

"Ningxia... please take good care of Mingzi for me."

Minato no longer hoped that his daughter would accept him. He looked at Ningxia with gratitude. He dared not think how much longer Naruko would have to endure such pain without Ningxia.

Ningxia raised her left hand expressionlessly, and Shuimen did not dodge, waiting for Ningxia to make her move.

Goodbye, no, farewell forever, old friend.

There was no pain on his face. Ningxia gave Shuimen a hug as a farewell between friends.

"Yes... goodbye forever."

Minato trusts Ningxia; he's a sentimental person and will definitely take good care of Naruto.

And I... should also take on some of the responsibilities of a father.

While his chakra was still intact, Minato didn't say much to Naruto. He was an irresponsible father, and no matter what he said, he couldn't change that fact.

He has more important things to do than that.

Jiraiya looked at the clinic with some emotion. The little girl who used to follow Tsunade around back then has now become a world-renowned divine doctor in the ninja world.

With him taking care of Naruto, she could leave Konoha in peace and continue her search for the Child of Destiny...

Just as Jiraiya was feeling sentimental, a familiar figure walked out of the clinic, causing him to freeze in place.

"Water...water...Minato!?"

Jiraiya rubbed his eyes and tried to break the genjutsu, but no matter how he looked, Minato's chakra was right in front of him.

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Compared to the Third Hokage, Minato did not blame Jiraiya, as he already knew that Jiraiya had been traveling around searching for the Child of Destiny.

Seeing the teacher ignoring everything, it's hard not to feel a little...

"Minato, how are you still alive? No, you're not Minato, you're Minato's..."

Faced with Jiraiya's shock, Minato didn't offer much explanation, but instead said he was going to find the Third Hokage. He had a score to settle with the Third Hokage.

"..."

Jiraiya remained silent for a moment. He had never seen Minato so angry. He simply stayed by his side and made his stance clear.

Today, news of the Fourth Hokage's resurrection suddenly began to spread like wildfire in Konoha, and many people witnessed him walking towards the Hokage Building.

Standing in front of the Hokage Building, Minato looked at the familiar faces, but no longer showed their usual sunny smiles.

Instead, he addressed the Hokage Building in a tone that completely surprised everyone:

"Hiruzen Sarutobi! Get out here right now!!!"

Even Jiraiya was speechless with shock at Minato's transformation, but to the current Minato, he was no longer the Fourth Hokage; he was simply a father.

Today, no matter what, he is determined to seek justice for his daughter.

"Watergate..."

After the turmoil in Shisui, the Third Generation has been extremely busy these days, even taking his medicine is a race against time.

Danzo is impossible to deal with. At most, we can only remove the Hokage's assistant and put him on hold, as a way of giving the Uchiha clan an explanation.

But he never expected that Minato, who had been dead for a long time, would appear, which was like adding insult to injury.

"Is this how you take care of my daughter!?"

Minato didn't care about the Third Hokage's current predicament at all; if it were Kushina, she would have been even more aggressive than him.

"I... I did all this for the village!"

The third generation had nothing to say and could only use the village as an excuse to try to persuade Minato to calm down, but for the current Minato, the village was no match for his daughter.

"The village? For the sake of the village, does my daughter have to endure everyone's malice?! She's only five years old!"

"Minato... let me explain..."

"Minato is dead! You chose this day, and if you don't give me an explanation today, even the Sage of Six Paths can't stop you, I said it!"
