If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

There was a loud "bang" sound. In the room, the table that Minato had specially taken from Jiraiya, which came from the end of the world and had withstood Kushina's anger countless times, actually exploded today in an instant!

Wood chips were flying everywhere and smoke was everywhere.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and the whole room was silent for a moment.

At this moment, Kushina stood up suddenly, her beautiful face distorted by anger.

She rushed to Minato at lightning speed, stretched out her right hand, and grabbed Minato's collar easily like an eagle catching a chick.

Then, without any hesitation, Kushina raised his left hand, and two crisp and loud slapping sounds echoed throughout the room.

The two slaps were so hard and accurate that two clearly visible palm prints appeared on Minato's cheeks.

"You... bastard!!!"

Kushina's eyes widened and he yelled at Minato through gritted teeth.

Her voice seemed to carry endless anger and resentment, which made people feel frightened.

"You are not even worthy of being a father! The world you live in is so chaotic, and you brought Naruto into this world. Why did you let him suffer so much?"

Kushina yelled in anger, her voice shaking with rage, her eyes wide open, anger threatening to burst out of her sockets.

Minato stood there quietly, enduring Kushina's scolding.

A trickle of blood and flesh slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth, flowed down his chin, and dripped onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood, but in a moment it turned into dirt and disappeared into ashes.

His handsome face was now shrouded in shame and pale.

Kushina stared at the face in front of her that looked exactly like her husband's, but she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

Especially when she noticed Minato's hands, her heart ached.

His hands were clenched into fists, with his nails deeply embedded in his palms. If it weren't for his filthy body, blood would have gushed out, staining his entire palms red.

It was obvious that he was experiencing tremendous pain and suffering, which even made him unable to control himself and hurt himself.

Minato originally wanted to teach this mutant a lesson to vent his anger.

However, when he saw the other person's extremely uncomfortable and painful appearance, all the words were choked in his throat and he could no longer speak.

Yes, after all, as a father, how can I not feel heartbroken for the suffering my child endures?

He was well aware of the enormity of the sin he had committed - not only did he treat Naruto as a vessel for the Nine-Tails, causing him to bear the heavy shackles of fate; but he also failed to give Naruto a stable and worry-free birth environment, causing him to suffer hardships since childhood.

These mistakes were like a heavy burden pressing on Minato's heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

"In our empire's education system, there is such an important content: animals can only reproduce successfully and pass on from generation to generation if they are in an absolutely safe environment."

He paused for a moment and then continued, "Humans are just a kind of animal."

At this point, he couldn't help but shake his head, with an expression of incomprehension on his face: "I am really confused and puzzled. You can so tenaciously resist the powerful force from nature and the biological instincts hidden deep in your body. Even in such a dangerous and harsh environment, you can still complete the mission of reproducing offspring and continuing life. This is really a miracle!"

Minato's words were full of sarcasm.

Then, he turned his gaze to the person in front of him and asked in an increasingly sharp tone, "Is this child a must-have for you?"

Then, he rebuked mercilessly: "As the head of the village, you are the Hokage. Since you already know that you can't make a perfect choice between protecting the village and taking care of your family, why do you insist on letting this new life come into the world? You know, once you have a child, it means that you will have your own sphere of influence, but at the same time, you will have a fatal weakness, and a key factor that may cause the balance to be unbalanced."

"Having a child gives you power, a weakness, and someone who can tip the scales."

Finally, he concluded in an almost ruthless tone: "Whether from the perspective of official business, or from the perspective of personal feelings and common sense, frankly speaking, if the ninja village system you implement had selected those lonely people who have neither descendants nor close relatives to serve as Kage-level leaders, perhaps the entire village might have developed more powerful and prosperous!!"

Although Minato had not actually taken action at this time, the anger in his heart was already burning, and the reprimands in his words poured out like a torrential rain.

It was as if he had witnessed his father suffering and being tortured in front of those two parents, and Naruto couldn't help but feel a trace of pity and reluctance in his heart.

He slowly raised his head and stared at the man in front of him who once made him feel both unfamiliar and eager to get close to him - the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.

"Fourth Hokage... From now on, let's not meet each other again. I'm afraid my parents will misunderstand me because of this."

Naruto's voice trembled slightly, and the words seemed so difficult to say out of his mouth.

Hearing his son's heartless words, Minato's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

In an instant, he felt that the whole world began to collapse, and his heart seemed to be cut mercilessly by thousands of sharp blades, causing him excruciating pain.

He opened his eyes wide, staring at Naruto's immature but stubborn face, and his eyes gradually became moist.

Although this reincarnated body should not have tears, as a father's deep love for his child and endless guilt caused the crystal clear tears to slide down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Naruto……"

Minato spoke with difficulty, his voice as hoarse as if it had been polished by sandpaper.

"Please forgive me... It was not until today that I realized how incompetent I was as a father!"

He paused, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his agitated heart: "You can't forgive me, I can completely understand. After all, I owe you too much over the years..."

Minato lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Naruto's clear eyes, for fear of seeing even a trace of resentment or hatred in them.

However, when he looked up at Naruto again, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"But now that I see that you have such loving parents, I am satisfied. As long as you can grow up happily, everything will be worth it..."

"Naruto, if I had known you would be in this situation, I would have definitely, definitely, not put the village before you."
