Simultaneous travel: Not eating beef

time flies.

When Bai Yu came out again, the Nine-Tailed Fox was still in the same place, but there were three more people with her.

The Shuimen family of three has arrived.

A seal enveloped the area, and behind Minato floated a giant Grim Reaper, whispering something to his wife and children.

Are you wondering why Minato didn't seal the Nine-Tails back into Kushina's body?

In fact, the consensus in the ninja world at that time was that if the tailed beasts left their jinchūriki, the jinchūriki would die.

They didn't know that if the tailed beasts were sealed back into their original form, the jinchūriki could survive.

In the original storyline, Naruto survived because Kurama told him he could survive in this way.

As for now, who will tell them?

The nine-tailed fox wished it could bite the entire family of three to death.

Minato had already sealed half of the Nine-Tails inside his body using the Reaper Death Seal.

Like Kushina, the couple didn't have long to live.

An altar was placed in front of the Nine-Tails' upside-down head. Minato placed Naruto on the altar and said, "Alright, next is the Eight Trigrams Seal. We just need to seal the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body."

"Forever with my sister~!" Nine-Tails roared loudly, but unfortunately the situation was different from the original plot. It didn't even have one hand outside, so it couldn't do anything and could only watch helplessly.

Bai Yu had already arrived beside the two of them.

Minato glanced at him, then continued with his work.

A moment later, Minato tossed a huge sealing scroll to Hakuba, saying, "Hakuba-kun, you are the only one in the village who can suppress the Nine-Tails. The sealing key is now in your care. Please..."

Although it's irresponsible and presumptuous of me, I still want to ask you to help look after Naruto if possible. I think Toneri could become good friends with him.

Bai Yu took the scroll, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it, I've been entrusted with another child.

but……

Bai Yu looked at Naruto, feeling a strange, indescribable feeling.

After everything was ready, Minato looked at his wife and said, "Kushina, my time is running out."

Behind Minato, Death seemed poised to strike.

Kushina, possessing the physique of the Uzumaki clan, is estimated to last even longer than Minato.

Kushina was exhausted. She lay down slowly beside Naruto, stroking him gently, and weakly said, "Naruto..."

A warning that is several hundred words long.

After saying that, Minato could no longer hold on. He formed hand seals and pulled the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body, then lay down on Naruto's other side.

Before he died, he looked at his children and wife with loving eyes, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Minato is dead.

With tears streaming down her face, Kushina turned to Shiraha and said, "Can I ask you for a favor? Please raise Naruto."

I've heard your story from Minato. Compared to those old men, I feel you're a more reliable candidate.

Bai Yu scratched his head and walked closer, slowly saying, "Really, do you people see through me and know I have some special attributes?"

"That's how it is with Otsutsuki, that's how it is with Fugaku, that's how it is with Hizashi, and that's how it is with you and the Fourth Hokage..."

Bai Yu sighed helplessly, "But I'm really not very good at education."

After saying that, Bai Yu's right hand glowed faintly, and he slowly reached out and placed his hand on Kushina's collarbone, saying, "Naruto looks like a brat, so you, as his mother, should take care of him yourself."

"No need to thank me, I, Lei Feng, do good deeds anonymously."

On the moon, the enormous Reincarnation Eye suddenly flickered.

"Boom!"

Kushina's already weak heartbeat suddenly pounded.

The next moment, her pale face began to regain color at a visible speed, and even her dark circles and eye bags disappeared rapidly.

Her faint breathing became strong and powerful, and Kushina sat up in disbelief to look at her hands.

"I...I'm about to die, aren't I?" She looked up at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "It's a pity you didn't die, so Naruto will have to be taken care of by you."

Also, I've already saved you, so please don't try to kill yourself again, otherwise all the Fourth Hokage's efforts will be in vain.

"I'm sorry, but because he used the Reaper Death Seal, which involves the soul, I can't save him."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Kushina accepted the reality.

She had no choice but to accept it; even for Naruto's sake, she had to live on with strength.

Thus, the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage came to an end.

The villagers of Konoha found it hard to accept the news of the Fourth Hokage's death, but the facts were undeniable.

Minato's body was carried back to Konoha, and on the way, Shiraha encountered Kakashi and the others who were rushing over.

"Teacher... how is the teacher?" Kakashi asked anxiously.

Bai Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, he sacrificed himself, but fortunately his child and Kushina survived."

So, Kakashi, become stronger, strong enough to protect them, mother and child.

Kakashi:......

This is a sad story. Kakashi will probably be in a state of emotional turmoil for a long time. He'll need Guy to reignite his fighting spirit, or he'll have to take care of Naruto for a day.

As time passed, news of Minato's death spread throughout the ninja world, once again stirring up waves in the once peaceful world.

A month later, the Hidden Cloud Village suddenly dispatched a large number of ninjas to break through the Leaf Village's defenses.

War has come again.

Compared to the original storyline where Konoha was severely weakened by the Nine-Tails' attack, Konoha at this time, thanks to Shiraha, can be considered to be strong and well-equipped.

However, during this period, Konoha couldn't even muster a commander.

After much deliberation, Danzo was finally appointed as the commander.

Bai Yu did not go to the battlefield; he was assigned another task by the third-generation elder.

In early 52 Konoha, Iwagakure also suddenly launched a war.

To put it bluntly, this is just a poor sequel to World War III.

That year, Bai Yu was fifteen years old, and he stepped onto the battlefield of Yan Yin.

The responsibility of command was almost handed over to the two Hokage advisors, but fortunately Jiraiya managed to return at the crucial moment, preventing the two old bones from having to stretch their muscles.

In early 53 of Konoha, Iwagakure was unable to continue its fighting, and at the same time, sixteen-year-old Shiraha achieved fame and renown.

The Cloud Village was still unwilling to give up and wanted to continue fighting.

By the end of Konoha 53, it seemed that Kumogakure could no longer hold out, and the war slowed down.

In fact, compared to the Third Shinobi World War, the wars fought in the past two years did not involve large-scale clashes; they were all small-team battles between ninjas, so the casualties were not significant.

In early 54 of Konoha, Shiraha turned seventeen.

He was just one year away from breaking the seal with Kurenai Yuhi.

The titled Douluo was keeping an eye on this place, so Bai Yu didn't dare to make any rash moves.

In Konoha Village, Bai Yu shouldered his pack and left the village with two kids.

One on the left and one on the right, Toneri and Neji obediently followed behind him out of the village.

On the way, Sheren asked curiously, "Mori, where are we going?"

Neji also looked over curiously. As Bai Yu walked, he said, "I'm really defeated by your insightful friends. I'll go find you a companion now."

Upon hearing this, Sheren asked curiously, "Wow, what kind of friend is that?"

Bai Yu turned to look at the white hair on his head and said, "You're a very handsome young man, at least a third as handsome as me, on par with you, and you also have white hair."

"It seems like it's for you~." The servant's eyes widened, his face full of anticipation.

Neji bit his index finger, thinking resentfully, "Am I not handsome enough?"

But being a bit introverted, he wouldn't ask directly.

After traveling and enjoying the scenery, the three arrived at the edge of the sea in the Land of Whirlpools after some time.

They found a boat and the three headed towards the Land of Water...
