UK:GSW Chapter 303: Naruko: What? Minato, is Naruto the child of you and me?
Of course, not all of the VIP users went to experience the new game as soon as the press conference ended, even though they didn't need to line up to experience the new game.
After all, under the pre‑sale model these VIP users could obtain the game immediately and then go home to experience it slowly, and the existence of the Genjutsu network also ensured that even at home they could connect online with different players for battles and cooperation.
In addition, today's press conference also sparked many related activities and various shops holding promotional events, so many people chose to go out and stroll around or run errands after the press conference ended.
For example, as the Kage, the Third Raikage and the Third Kazekage—these two village leaders wanted to immediately negotiate the introduction of the uncut version of "Shinobi Continent" and did not want to wait any longer.
Both sides were well aware that now was a race against time, because the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Mist Village, having seen the live broadcast, would inevitably send people to negotiate immediately.
Once they waited until those two villages arrived, the price of introducing the uncut version of the game would very likely rise—once more people were involved, competition would inevitably form, and if competition formed while it was a seller's market, the buyers would inevitably have to pay a greater price.
Although the shinobi world had no corresponding economic theories, after encountering this kind of thing many times, there would naturally be experience.
Coincidentally, the major ninja villages had already encountered a lot of similar experiences, which made them very concerned and alert about this.
As for the Raikage and the Kazekage's urgency, the Leaf side had already anticipated it. There were people to specifically handle it, so the Third Hokage didn't need to intervene; he directly went off cheerfully to play the game after the press conference ended.
The Third Hokage was very interested in this new game "Shinobi Great War" because it was an interesting game that could let him relive his old days, and it allowed online battles with other people; it was simply a great game for reminiscing about glorious years.
Hmm, it had also been over ten days since he had seen Danzo, so he dragged Danzo along to play.
Thus, Hiruzen Sarutobi happily went to the Shimura house.
Aside from that, "Muzi" and "Radama" also didn't stay to play games.
For these two, Genjutsu games could be played anytime. They finally came out today; how could they not stroll around the Leaf, experiencing the customs and people of today's Leaf?
Of course, this was mainly "Muzi's" plan; "Radama" had no such idea.
However, since "Muzi" wanted to, "Radama" naturally chose to accompany him.
Thus, these two people who were actually the founders of the Leaf began their activity of strolling around the Leaf together again after decades.
However, things and people had changed; the Leaf now was completely different from the Leaf of the past. As the two of them walked together down the streets of the Leaf, all they could see was only a trace of the past.
However, whether it was Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, they actually both felt that the current Leaf was really nice.
Hashirama Senju, who had become "Muzi," was simply gratified and emotional at how amazing the later generations were. They had actually transformed the Leaf, once a small rundown village, into a shinobi‑world metropolis like it was now, and it was still continuously developing. The people lived in peace and worked happily; everyone was full of vitality, and their eyes had light, full of beautiful expectations for the future; this really made him very happy.
As for Madara Uchiha, he simply felt that it was really great that the Leaf had come up with Genjutsu games, and with "Muzi" as the reincarnation of Hashirama Senju present, he felt that his fantasy of the Infinite Tsukuyomi was nothing more than this.
Of course, the two of them did not reveal these thoughts; they simply continued to stroll around the Leaf and would continue like this until they separated in the evening.
On the other side, backstage at the press conference venue, Naruko reunited with her three little partners.
Obito and Rin Nohara did not hesitate to praise Muzi. They were both marveling at how strong Naruko's command ability was, actually able to go back and forth against Minato‑sensei; it was really super impressive.
This immediately made Naruko embarrassed. The "young girl" awkwardly scratched her head and touched her face, saying, "Um, you think too highly of me. I'm not a match for your teacher; the style of play in this exhibition match was determined from the start, and Minato has been controlling his own performance the whole time."
"If he had fought seriously, I estimate I couldn't have lasted even ten minutes before being defeated by Minato."
Hearing this, Obito and Rin Nohara showed a confused look and looked at each other: "Uh, is that so?"
Next to them, Kakashi, who had long since seen through the truth and had been silently watching the show, snorted disdainfully to show that he had seen through the truth long ago.
Of course, this again aroused Obito's dissatisfaction, and the two immediately started arguing noisily. Naruko and Rin Nohara were already used to it and immediately started to dissuade them.
Elsewhere, Naruto was pleading with Minato Namikaze for something, making Minato Namikaze look puzzled and subtle.
Yes, Naruto was asking Minato Namikaze, because after the press conference ended, Minato Namikaze took the initiative to find the trio of transmigrators and wanted to ask what the trio wanted to do next.
As a result, Naruto immediately entered pleading mode without saying a word, even using the classic "request of a lifetime."
Fortunately Minato Namikaze was not Tokugawa Shoko and would not complain about Naruto so lightly promising a lifetime; instead he asked in puzzlement what the matter was that it seemed so serious.
So, after taking a deep breath, Naruto raised the matter of wanting to meet alone with the girl called Naruko.
This puzzled Minato Namikaze: "You want to meet Naruko? Uh, that's not a problem. It's just, what exactly is it about?"
Naruto revealed a complicated expression: "At this point, Uncle Minato, do you still think I can't see it?"
Minato Namikaze: "…? What can't you see?"
Confused and puzzled, because Minato Namikaze knew very well who Naruko really was, and he had subjective understanding, so even though he knew that Naruko's appearance was very similar to his and was always treated as a relative by people, he didn't think along the lines of the speculation Sai had given to Naruto.
As for Sai, this guy stood nearby with a professional smile, and that smile always gave people the feeling of being in the front row eating melons and watching the show.
After all, this guy had already guessed the relationship between Minato Namikaze and Naruto, so while his analysis regarding Naruko was very professional and he successfully linked the clues he had, it was actually a classic case of having all the correct deductions but the wrong conclusion.
However, since no one knew his thoughts anyway, he could enjoy eating melons and watching the show in the front row as much as he pleased.
In the end, Minato Namikaze agreed, since it wasn't a big deal, and he even thoughtfully arranged a room for the meeting and had Naruko come over alone in order to create a good environment for communication.
For his own good son, Minato Namikaze really took super good care.
Then, Naruko and Naruto met in a room at the press conference site.
Outside, Sakura Haruno and Sai also met the three members of Team Minato.
The three members of Team Minato all looked curiously at Sakura Haruno and Sai, while Sakura Haruno looked at Kakashi with a complex gaze tinged with surprise.
There was nothing for it. After all, in the future Kakashi Hatake would be the teacher of Naruto, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha. In Sakura Haruno's impression and memory, Kakashi Hatake was an adult who looked somewhat weak and had a lazy expression, giving the impression of being quite unreliable.
However, the Kakashi Hatake who was still a child had a cold and sharp expression, with no trace of laziness or weakness, making Sakura Haruno feel that the two Kakashis were not the same person.
She couldn't imagine what Kakashi Hatake had gone through to go from a boy who looked reliable now to the adult who looked so unreliable in the future.
Therefore Sakura Haruno had a very complex expression.
As for Sai, although this guy saw that the child Kakashi Hatake was in Team Minato, he didn't have much of a relationship with Kakashi; they were just ordinary colleagues, with Kakashi being a senior.
So Sai only paid a little attention to Kakashi as a child; the rest of the time he focused his attention on the other people, silently observing the members of Team Minato.
Additionally, he felt a lot of regret that he could only wait outside and not go into the room to continue eating melons up close. What made Sai even more helpless was that the room's soundproofing was excellent, making it difficult to hear what was going on inside from outside.
Not being able to eat fresh melon was really uncomfortable.
At the same time, inside the room, Minato Namikaze smiled and said to Naruto, "Naruto, the Naruko you wanted to meet has arrived. Whatever you want to say, just go ahead and say it."
There was care and warmth in his voice.
At this moment, Naruko waved and greeted Naruto with a cheerful smile; the attitude was friendly and enthusiastic, with the mindset of caring for an excellent junior.
After all, the fact that Naruto was Minato Namikaze's son was not a secret in their small circle in the spiritual network world. Naruko had learned about this in advance and also knew that it needed to be kept secret temporarily.
However, this didn't stop Naruko, or rather Nawaki, from caring for a junior.
Especially since Nawaki had asked Uchiha Kei about news of Naruto, learned that Naruto's personality was very similar to his, and was being cared for by Tsunade in a parallel world, he felt a high degree of affection.
Then, in Naruto's eyes, this enthusiasm and warmth meant something else, instantly giving Naruto's heart a strong shock. The emotions accumulated from yearning for familial affection for many years erupted at this moment, making Naruto's eyes immediately wet.
This sudden reaction left Naruko and Minato Namikaze stupefied, not understanding what was wrong with Naruto.
Naruko hurried forward and asked with concern what was wrong, looking very at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Such concern and panic further stimulated Naruto, causing his emotions to erupt; he couldn't help but hug Naruko.
Such a sudden situation made Minato Namikaze and Naruko even more bewildered. The two of them already had their brains nearly crash; Naruto completely confused them.
Then they heard Naruto sobbing as he said, "I know everything. I know everything. Mother, you are my mother, I am your child, I know it all. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, damn it, damn it, damn it, why does it have to be like this? Why is it like this? Damn it, I'm sorry, I don't know what to say, I'm really sorry, Mother, whimper, whimper…"
Minato Namikaze: "Huh?"
Naruko: "Huh?"
At this moment, Minato Namikaze's eyes widened and his body went completely stiff; Naruko likewise widened her eyes and her body also went completely stiff.
The two blond, blue‑eyed people both had their brains completely crash at this moment, buzzing. Then they were like dumbfounded cat meme faces, their minds full of complicated and profound formulas, as if analyzing the truths of the universe and the mysteries of all things.
After quite a while, Naruko came to her senses and hastily pushed Naruto away, then turned her head in shock to look at Minato Namikaze. Her voice became extremely panicked, and her expression was already out of control and crumbled: "What the heck? Minato? Why would Naruto become my child? Could it be that I had a child with you? Naruto is your and my child!?"
By the end her voice was shaking, even tinged with terror. Without a doubt, for Naruko, this was far too avant‑garde, making her thoughts completely confused, not having thought of the various possibilities.
These words made the already confused Minato Namikaze even more confused. The Little Sun also lost his composure at this moment. Looking at Naruto's crying meme face staring over, he hurriedly exclaimed in panic, "No! How is that possible? Naruto is the child of me and Kushina, and besides, don't you know your own situation? It's impossible for you to have a child!"
Hearing this, Naruko immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said in a trembling voice with lingering fear, "So that's it, that's how it is. It scared me to death, really scared me to death… Although you're very handsome, Minato, and have a good personality, having a child with you would be too scary…"
Minato Namikaze also breathed a little easier, then said very firmly, "That's why I've always said that my feelings for Kushina are wholehearted. Even if you could have a child, it wouldn't be possible!"
Naruko laughed: "Haha, that's true, I do believe in your feelings for Kushina."
Minato Namikaze also laughed: "Yes, so let's not have this kind of misunderstanding again."
Then, after they laughed at each other for a while, they both put away their smiles and then looked awkwardly at Naruto, while Naruto was now dumbfounded, staring blankly at Minato Namikaze.
Oh no! I was too excited and exposed it!
Minato Namikaze and Naruko immediately broke into a cold sweat, because having to temporarily hide the truth from Naruto was something they had discussed in advance, yet they suddenly blew it.
Naruko thought carefully and broke out in a cold sweat—he realized that the first to expose things was himself. He had been too excited just now and directly blurted out about Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
Then, feeling guilty, Naruko glanced weakly at the two of them, quickly laughed it off by saying "Since it doesn't involve me now, I'll leave first," and hurried off. After going out, when faced with the three young ones from Team Minato curiously asking what had happened, he said, "It's fine, it's fine, let's go play," and then pulled the three young ones over to say hello to Sakura Haruno and Sai before running off energetically.
This left Sakura Haruno very confused, more curious about what was happening in the room, and wondering why Minato Namikaze and Naruto hadn't come out yet.
As for Sai, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile, an expression of "I don't know what happened, but this melon is really sweet" with delight.
