While Kushina and Naruto were having their touching moment Izanami looked at Minato who didn’t go to participate.
“ Don’t you want to join in that? “ Izanami said as she pointed to Naruto and Kushina.
Minato smiled sadly and answered, “ I feel I don’t have the right to do that. It was because of my death that Naruto was thrown into such a situation. If i had survived he would have been able to live like a normal kid “
“ So you saw everything huh “ Izanami said as she looked at him.
“ Yes in that space I saw everything, every time I saw those vilgers throw stones or try to beat Naruto up I always thought, ‘ Is this the vilge I sacrificed my life to protect? Why did they do this to my son? Was everything I did to this vilge meaningless? “ Minato said as his eyes teared up.
“ Every time I saw my son drinking expired food I felt my soul shatter. “ he said as he clenched his fists. “ Tell me, is my decision wrong? “ he asked Izanami.
“ No, it was not. You protected what you thought was your home. It is this vilge that broke your trust and ignored your sacrifice. “ It was not Izanami who answered Minato. It was Kurama who was listening to the conversation.
“ Kyuubi, “ Minato said in a bit of shock. Never in his life did he think the nine tails would sympathize with him.
Izanami chuckled and answered, “Don’t be too surprised Minato, Kurma despite his animosity towards humans knows humans the best. And this is true for the humans he acknowledges “
“ Big sister, he doesn't need to know that, '' Kurama said flusteredly. If it was another person he would have argued back. But he knew doing that would only backfire on him.
“ oh, so the Kayuubi has a name huh “ Minato was a bit surprised. He didn’t know that. But thinking back at it the tail beasts were never something people knew much about. Even their own Jinchuriki didn’t know much about them.
“Of course we have names. It’s just that we never allow you humans to address us in them, “ Kurama said as he scoffed when he heard Manato’s words.
“ No actually both Gyūki and Chōmei actually allowed their Jinchuriki to address them in their names “Izanami crified.
“ Arrg those two are exceptions. Especially Chōmei, with that guy’s personality I wouldn’t be surprised if he got along with his Jinchuriki in just one day. “ Kurama said as he got a headache from thinking of his oddball of a sibling. If Chōmei’s host was not too bad of a person then he would get along with him without any problems.
“ Who are those two again if you don’t mind me asking? “ Minato asked awkwardly. He was hardly able to follow the conversation that is going on here.
“Oh right, Chōmei is what you call the Seven tails and Gyūk is the eight tails. Both of them are quite reasonable so they are very easy to get along with.
“I see, “ Minato said, unable to utter anything more. He felt his worldview crash after hearing about this new information. This also made him a bit relieved. When he pced the seal on Naruto he intentionally pced a small gap for Kurama’s chakra to go through. He wished his son could become a perfect Jinchuriki just like Killer B.
“ So anyway, Minato, since you now know the whole truth you should have no trouble agreeing to our deal right “ Izanami said as she looked at him.
“ Yes, no matter how much I want to defend the vilge treating my son like this too much. So I will do as you say from now on, “ Minato said as he sighed.
“ Oh please don't make it that dramatic. I only wanted you to teach Naruto how to be a Shinobi. While I could strengthen his foundation and teach him the skills, making a Shinobi is not something I could do. That is why I wanted you to do it. “ Izanami said as he chuckled.
This is one of the weaknesses she has. She is never a Shinobi and does not know how to be one. She is a swordmaster and a warrior through and through.
Even Madara and Hashirama didn't actually follow the standard Shinobi way. They just went forward and beat up everyone with their strength.
“ Oh right, Minato could you please open up this seal while you are at it. Since I'm here this seal is basically useless. “ Izanami suddenly said, making Minato look at her with caution.
Seeing him suddenly vigint, Izanami expined, “ Don't worry, I already promised Naruto's safety so rest assured. And you must know if I really wanted to crack this seal I could. “
“ Why do you want to remove the seal? If Kurama escapes from his prison Naruto would die. “ Minato said, still vigint. He couldn't just put his son in danger just because of a promise.
Izanami sighed as she said, “You know Minato you gonna have to trust me on this. “
Minato looked at her for a few seconds before sighing. “ Ok, I trust your judgment on this “. He said as he got closer to the seal.
“ Where are you going Minato? “ Kushina asked as she came with Naruto towards them. She was holding Naruto’s hand as they walked.
“ I'm about to free the nine tails, “ Minato expined to his wife.
“ What is that alright, what if he go out from this space? Wouldn’t Naruto’s life be in danger? “ Kushina asked in shock. She couldn’t believe Minato would do such a dangerous thing.
“Don’t worry Kurama won't do it. I guarantee that. “Izanami said as she gave Kurama a look. Kurama nodded, although reluctantly. As much as he wanted to go out he wouldn’t disappoint his sister’s trust. Unlike humans, the tail beast keeps their promises.
“ Kurama “ Kushina asked as she tilted her head. ‘Who is Kurama? ‘she wondered.
“ oh oh, I know. Kurama is the big fox there, “ Naruto said as he pointed at Kurama.
“ What the nine tails has a name. Hey Kurama why didn’t you tell me you had a name this whole time “ Kushina asked in shock then her shock turned into anger as she shouted at Kurama.
“ huh, why should I tell you my name? And stop calling my name you red paper you are not worthy of it “ Kurama said angrily.
“Huh, what did you say, hey Kurama are you looking for a fight? “ Kushina said as her hair began to defy gravity. And like a thug, she began to crack her knuckles.
“Hmp, do you think I’m afraid of your red paper? You should be gd this cage is still there or I will show you your pce. “ Kurama said as he snorted.
“Huh, now you are asking for a beating. Hey Minato, quickly take down that seal. I'm going to show that fox who is boss, “ Kushina said as she gred at Kurama.
Kurama also didn’t shy away as he too gred at Kushina. Sparks flew as they both showed their hostility towards each other.
Minato, seeing this, wondered whether or not to take down the seal. But as soon as that thought flew into his mind both of them suddenly gred at him and shouted at the same time, “What are you doing hurry up take this thing down “
Minato gulped as he hurriedly went to unseal Kurama. He didn’t want to get caught in the crossfire.
Naruto who went behind Izanami for cover peeked his head and asked, “Big sis would Mom and Kurama hate each other so much “
Izanami chuckled and answered, “Don’t worry Naruto, those two get along too well that’s why they would often fight like this. “
“ I see, “ Naruto said, unsure of how that was possible.
