Chu Xuan looked at Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, whose bodies had been pierced by one of the Nine-Tailed Fox's tails, and both of them were on the verge of death.

At that very last moment, Minato Namikaze suddenly reached out and grabbed the Nine-Tailed Fox's tail, unleashing the Reaper Death Seal he had prepared.

Suddenly, a gray phantom rose up. As soon as this ghostly figure appeared, it rushed towards the nine-tailed fox demon with a very clear objective.

"Roar!" Upon seeing this, the nine-tailed fox sensed something was wrong and quickly came to her senses, trying to defend against the charging ghostly figure.

The ghostly figure was incredibly fast, enveloping the nine-tailed fox in the blink of an eye.

Then, the nine-tailed fox was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as its soul was devoured by the ghostly figure.

As the Nine-Tailed Fox was devoured, the ghost returned once more. At this time, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki had both perished and were no longer alive.

Unable to return from the caster, the ghostly figure suddenly spotted Chu Xuan not far away and charged straight towards him, entering his body.

Chu Xuan felt a cold aura rush into his body, and it seemed that another aura rushed into the body of the baby in his arms.

After observing for a while, Chu Xuan felt nothing unusual, but he felt that there seemed to be something extra in his body. However, Chu Xuan did not know the specifics at the moment.

Looking at the devastated battlefield, Chu Xuan felt a deep sense of sorrow.

Upon arriving in this unfamiliar new world, I encountered such a powerful enemy and witnessed such a great battle.

In the end, Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tailed Fox perished together.

The person behind it all escaped. Chu Xuan couldn't help but recall the man in the black cloak, vowing to find him someday and avenge Minato Namikaze.

If it weren't for Minato Namikaze's intervention, Chu Xuan would probably have been annihilated by the nine-tailed fox long ago.

Chu Xuan will never forget this kindness.

Then, carrying the child of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, Chu Xuan headed straight away into the distance, leaving this dangerous place.

Chu Xuan walked a long way before stopping. He was exhausted after running all night and sat down to rest on a big tree.

Chu Xuan looked at the child in his arms; the child was very cute.

At this moment, Chu Xuan noticed that there seemed to be something else inside the swaddling clothes.

Chu Xuan found a scroll in the swaddling clothes. As soon as he touched the scroll, he felt a stream of information enter his brain.

"Young man, thank you for saving our child. My child's name is Naruto Uzumaki. I hope you can take him back to the village so he can grow up safely. These two scrolls are my way of thanking you and also a gift I'm leaving for my child."

Chu Xuan opened the two scrolls and saw the contents recorded on them. These should be two special methods. Although Chu Xuan did not understand them now, he believed that he would definitely be able to figure them out in the future.

Chu Xuan looked at the baby in his arms. Naruto Uzumaki, this must be the name that Minato Namikaze and his wife gave to their child.

Chu Xuan learned that the village where Minato Namikaze and the others lived was called Konoha Village, which seemed to be nearby.

It seems I have to send this child back to the village. In my current state, I really can't raise Naruto to adulthood.

Chu Xuan staggered forward, not knowing how far he had gone.

Finally, Chu Xuan vaguely saw several figures rapidly appearing ahead.

"Hurry up, there seems to be someone over here!" The two men seemed to have spotted Chu Xuan as well, and quickly said to their companions behind them.

"Friend, are you alright?" Several people quickly came to Chu Xuan's side and asked him.

Chu Xuan looked at these people, then swayed and collapsed to the ground.

"This kid seems to have some chakra, but it's very weak, and he's holding a child who's now unconscious," the group discussed.

"Let's take him back first! Let the Hokage decide when we get back!"

"The rest of you, continue to search the area." The group of people, who appeared to be on a mission, had a clear division of labor and quickly disappeared from the scene.

Chu Xuan and Naruto, whom he was holding, were both taken to the village.

Chu Xuan gradually opened his eyes from his drowsy state.

Chu Xuan vaguely saw a figure standing in front of the window, looking at the rising sun outside.

Chu Xuan then opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and quietly looked at the old man by the window.

At this moment, the old man slowly turned around and looked at Chu Xuan.

"Young man, you're awake!" the old man asked Chu Xuan with a kind expression.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, sir, did you save me? I, Chu Xuan, thank you for saving my life!"

"It was the village guards who brought you back unconscious, Chu Xuan," the old man said slowly.

"Chu Xuan, can you tell me what happened last night?" the old man asked Chu Xuan.

At this moment, Chu Xuan thought of Naruto, whom he had been holding in his arms yesterday, and quickly asked the old man, "Old sir, where did the child I was holding last night go?"

"You mean Naruto? He's in the next room right now, being taken care of. He's doing well," the old man said with a faint smile.

"That's good, that's good!"

"Hmm? How do you know his name is Naruto, sir?" Chu Xuan realized what was happening and asked the old man with some confusion.

"Because he is the child of Minato Namikaze and Shinobu Uzumaki, and I was the one who gave him this name." A trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes.

"Minato Namikaze and Shina Uzumaki, that couple is no longer in this world. Last night, they perished in the attack of that nine-tailed fox while trying to save me." Chu Xuan's face showed sorrow as he thought of what happened last night.

After listening to Chu Xuan's words, the old man understood what had happened last night.

Last night, the village was also attacked, and for the safety of the village, the old man was unable to leave to help Minato and his wife.

"Young man, I must thank you for saving Naruto and giving hope to Minato and his wife," the old man said to Chu Xuan.

"It's what I should do. Besides, they saved me first; otherwise, I wouldn't be in this world now," Chu Xuan said bitterly.

"Chu Xuan, what are your plans for the future?" the old man asked Chu Xuan with a smile.

"I want to find that man in the black cloak. I want to no longer be powerless against them." Chu Xuan said firmly, recalling the helplessness he felt yesterday when facing the nine-tailed fox and the man in the black cloak.
