Naruto, born from the world of his parents.

"I sensed Kurama's soul energy emanating from you. Was Naruto a Jinchuriki in that world?"

After a somewhat awkward breakfast, Minato unusually brought Naruto to the training ground. As the Hokage, especially during this special period, it was rare for him to be able to spare the time to provide guidance.

Trusting his father, Naruto didn't ask silly questions like whether guiding his training would disturb his father's work; he simply nodded somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes, Father, I sensed Kurama's chakra within that body in that world."

Although he had expected it, Minato breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. However, the thought that he had already disrupted the fate in that soul's memories to such an extent, yet still could not change his son's destiny of becoming a Jinchūriki, inevitably cast a shadow over Minato's heart.

He shook his head, suppressing all his emotions and trying to appear relaxed: "Is that so? I originally wanted to teach you that technique, but now I may have to change direction."

"How about changing direction?"

Seeing the question in Naruto's eyes, Minato revealed an extremely confident smile: "I have some understanding of the Tailed Beasts, so let's start here."

"Naruto."

Minato, now in teaching mode, became extremely serious and asked in a deep voice, "What do the Tailed Beasts represent in your eyes?"

What do the Tailed Beasts represent?

This question caught Naruto off guard, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Generally speaking, as beasts with overwhelming power, the Tailed Beasts that can be sealed are the core strength for each village to maintain its status. To put it more bluntly, for the great ninja villages, the Tailed Beasts are a powerful ninja tool.

However, for Naruto, who spends every day with Kurama inside his mother's body, the tailed beasts appear more as family members.

Having spent more than ten years with Kurama, Naruto could not simply categorize the Tailed Beasts as powerful beasts.

So after hesitating for a moment, Naruto said somewhat uncertainly, "A kind of anomaly that is difficult for people to understand because of its excessive power."

Upon hearing this answer, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Minato's eyes. The ability to detach one's focus from the strategic role of the Tailed Beasts is the beginning of truly mastering them.

It's important to understand that even a gentle individual like Minato, who possesses naturally strong empathy, would likely find it difficult to have such an attitude of treating others as equals if he hadn't learned about the Tailed Beasts from that period of his memories.

"As expected of Naruto."

Thinking of that boy in his memory, who shared the same hair color as him and was trusted by all the tailed beasts, and who saved the entire world, Minato couldn't help but sigh.

Naruto scratched his head a little embarrassed by his father's sudden praise. Just as he was about to make his usual modest remark, he felt a warm sensation on his forehead.

Naruto looked up at his father's hand resting on his forehead, his eyes filled with confusion. At that moment, Minato's gentle voice rang out: "Close your eyes."

Naruto obediently closed his eyes, and the next moment, a heavy breathing sound entered his ears.

"Hey kid, why do you smell so weird?"

Naruto opened his eyes and looked at the enormous, fiery red fox before him, his eyes filled with surprise: "Kurama!"

With that, he suddenly jumped onto the Nine-Tails, causing the Nine-Tails to scramble and catch him steadily in its hands: "You little brat, you're really not likable."

Nine-Tails habitually uttered words of disdain, yet his eyes were full of tenderness.

Minato stood quietly to the side, watching his son's intimate interaction with Kurama, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

This Nine-Tails wasn't actually the Nine-Tails in the full sense. On the night he saved Kushina, countless memories suddenly appeared in Minato's mind. These memories included many things and thoughts he didn't understand, as well as many people and events he was extremely familiar with.

And those people and things he knew so well were all happening in his future.

At first, Minato also thought it was some kind of unique and powerful illusion, but as time went by, many pieces of information about the future in that memory were confirmed one by one, which made him realize that the memory was real.

The name of the Nine-Tails was also learned from these memories.

As a man with great personal charisma, even in the original storyline, Minato Namikaze was able to retrieve the heart of the Nine-Tails that he had sealed in the stomach of the Shinigami. How much more so in this timeline where nothing has happened yet, but he already knows everything?

Before marrying Kushina, Minato had already formed an incredibly close bond with Kurama, so much so that Kurama was convinced that Minato was the special being prophesied by the Sage of Six Paths.

Therefore, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) had repeatedly demanded a change of Jinchūriki, but Minato refused each time, considering the potential impact on Kushina. The Kurama within him was a product of this compromise.

The Nine-Tails is a clone created by Minato Namikaze by gathering all of his chakra and a part of his soul. It is a new Nine-Tails that has the same thoughts and will as the original Nine-Tails inside Kushina's body, and belongs exclusively to Minato Namikaze.

"It's all so convoluted and incomprehensible. So, in other words, this brat went to another world for some reason, and in that world, that savage woman died, and the brat from that other world became a Jinchūriki?"

"That's right, Kurama."

Hearing Minato's reply, Kurama snorted irritably through its snort: "Seriously, putting me in the body of a brat, what were the ninjas in that world thinking? Can a brat even handle my power?"

Kurama's words brought a hint of shame to Minato's eyes. Although he had avoided tragedy in his own world, knowing himself well, he might have followed the predetermined path if it weren't for that memory.

With a hint of apology, Minato glanced at Naruto, who was nestled in Kurama's arms, and then looked at Kurama: "It was indeed an incredibly foolish and irresponsible decision, which is why I came to find you."

At this point, Minato clasped his hands together and pleaded with Kurama, "Could you please teach this child how to get along with you?"

"Hmph, even I, from another world, am not so easy to get along with. You certainly wouldn't be able to either."

"Haha, that's right, after all, Kurama is the most powerful and unique tailed beast."

Upon hearing Minato's praise, Kurama's nine tails began to throb uncontrollably, but it maintained an extremely reserved demeanor.

"Hmph, you have good taste. No wonder you chose me."

After saying that, Nine-Tails lowered its head and looked at the little brat it had watched grow up lying in its arms, a hint of tenderness flashing in its eyes.

"Although this is absolutely impossible, I, your humble servant, can create the possible from the impossible!"
