Minato blinked again, utterly bewildered. An emissary from a powerful cn had come all this way just to drop off a child? And then inform them of something they were already going to do? This was truly unbelievable, and Minato could only comply.

  However, having just gone through a severe battle, Minato didn't have much chakra left. After resting for a moment, he gathered his remaining chakra, preparing to once again activate the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Kushina and Naruto to Hazuki.

  "Minato, don't push yourself. If you can't, I can help you," Hazuki's gentle voice echoed in Minato's ears. But how could Minato trouble his savior again? He stubbornly stood up, his injured body protesting, and looked back at Hazuki. "The Nine-Tails is temporarily in your care. I'll be right back." After a light cough, Minato vanished.

  Back in their home, Kushina was still unconscious. After all, the Nine-Tails breaking free from the seal and the pain of childbirth would have long since caused any woman to lose consciousness. Minato looked at Kushina's form, a pang of heartache hitting him, but he was helpless. However, he believed that as long as the person calling themselves Hazuki was still here, Kushina wouldn't be in mortal danger. Clearly, his instincts were correct.

  "Cough, cough… the Nine-Tails is really troublesome." Even the Yellow Fsh couldn't avoid injury when facing a Tailed Beast. And these wounds all over his body were thanks to the Nine-Tails.

  But he didn't care at all. His attention was drawn to the baby crying uncontrolbly beside him. "So, you're my son, huh? Please take care of me. Let's name you Naruto. I hope that with the Nine-Tails by your side, you'll become a ninja who will shock the world." After saying this, he kissed the baby's forehead, then gathered his chakra again, preparing to bring them to Hazuki.

  Flying Thunder God!

  No, it failed.

  Using the Flying Thunder God Technique with another person requires three times the usual chakra, and for Minato, who had just fought a powerful enemy, this was undoubtedly a huge burden. Even for a short-distance teleport within the vilge, this threefold consumption was something the current Minato couldn't afford. There was no choice; this matter couldn't be deyed any longer. The Nine-Tails had to be sealed.

  He gathered his chakra again, this time five times the amount he had used before. This was his st bit of chakra, and a ninja who used up all their chakra would lose their life. But Minato didn't care at all. The vilge, his wife, and his child were what he cared about, everything he wanted to protect. As long as his will remained, he didn't need to worry about his own life.

  Minato looked back at Kushina with deep affection. "Sorry, Kushina. This child is the proof of our love. Please take good care of him from now on. Sorry, Naruto, I wanted to hear you call me 'Dad'… we just met, and now it's goodbye." Large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and Naruto, unknowingly, cried even louder, his wails heart-wrenching.

  Warm blue chakra enveloped Kushina and Naruto.

  A fsh of yellow light.

  Perhaps this was the st time.

  Thud. Arrival.

  Minato didn't maintain his usual stylish entrance; he had no energy left. When he appeared before everyone, he simply colpsed to the ground, lying quietly beside Kushina. Perhaps it was intentional. Who knew?

  Hazuki, however, saw this and muttered to himself, "What's with all this acting like it's a farewell to life? With me here, are you still afraid of losing your life?" After grumbling, two strands of white chakra emanated from his fingertips and entered Minato and Kushina's bodies. However, the two still couldn't wake up due to the severity of their injuries.

  Seeing this, Hazuki decided to go all the way. Heavenly Hand Power, activate! Instantly, a bck hole appeared beneath Kushina and Minato, and the two fell straight into it without any movement. At the same time, the bck hole appeared on the other side, revealing the medical ninja corps. The Leaf Vilge ninja rushed to catch these two individuals who were so important to Konoha, handing them over to the medical ninja for further treatment and recovery.

  At this point, the ninja all breathed a sigh of relief. "With the safety of our pilr of support secured, we don't have to worry about our future," most Leaf Vilge ninja thought.

  Hazuki also knew that the sealing of the Tailed Beast couldn't be deyed, so he directly began the chakra sealing. It was the same blue chakra, but this time it felt so vast. A light blue sphere enveloped Hazuki, the chakra trembling.

  Under Hazuki's exquisite control, the chakra began to take shape. It revolved around Hazuki at high speed, constantly changing its form as it spun. It looked like countless agile butterflies, fluttering and dancing in the air.

  No, it wasn't just that! It was also changing its order and position simultaneously. Although some ordinary ninja couldn't tell what kind of ninjutsu this was, the sealing squad could see from the unique nature of this chakra that it was a powerful sealing technique!

  "How is it possible to directly perform a sealing jutsu without a physical medium?!"

  "It feels like this has even stronger sealing capabilities than our Four Violet Fmes Formation!"

  The most powerful sealing technique known to the Leaf Vilge was the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. But from their perspective, it was clearly just a band of chakra light revolving around the caster.

  However, if viewed from above, the situation was completely different. It was clearly the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style!

  Heaven, Earth, Water, Mountain, Thunder, Wind, Fire, Lake!

  With the hand seals completed, Hazuki flicked his fingers, and the sealing array slowly flew towards the infant. It vibrated gently as it moved.

  Seeing this, the Nine-Tails understood Hazuki's intention and began to walk towards the baby.

  "Kurama, the Otsutsuki still rely on your assistance. Please cooperate with us."

  "Understood. The Otsutsuki are the ones who created me. I will follow them to the death." The Nine-Tails' solemn voice resonated, all its usual defiance vanishing at this moment. Who could have imagined that the fearless Nine-Tails would be so obedient to a cn?

  It picked up the infant in its mouth, facing Hazuki, and mumbled indistinctly, "Let's begin. You're called Naruto, right? Please take care of me."

  Hazuki raised both hands, waving them towards the floating seal, creating gusts of wind with his bare hands.

  Under the control of these hands, the Eight Trigrams Seal began to rotate again. It slowly accelerated, and suddenly, with a teleport-like speed, it arrived above the Nine-Tails' head, obediently settling down as the Nine-Tails held Naruto in its paws, accepting the suppression of this massive chakra. Slowly, the Nine-Tails began to dissipate, its crimson chakra being absorbed into the seal. Starting from the "Lake" trigram and ending with the "Heaven" trigram, each symbol began to turn red. In the end, the entire seal changed from blue to red, and the Nine-Tails disappeared.

  The absorption was complete.

  Immediately afterward, amidst the infant's cries, the seal settled onto his small abdomen, miraculously stopping his crying.

  Naruto smiled.

  For the first time in his life, on the very first day of his birth, this extraordinary infant smiled.

  The seal began to merge into his body, a complete Eight Trigrams symbol appearing on Naruto's abdomen, only to vanish the next second.

  The surrounding ninja all exhaled a long breath. They knew that the sealing was complete.

  Amidst the screams of joy and cheers, Hazuki was also being surrounded and paraded through the vilge. Only a small number of people were still concerned about Kushina, as well as the Fourth and Third Hokage's safety. The medical ninja were still busy, conducting urgent first aid.

  Over two hours ter, Kushina, with her superior physical constitution, was the first to wake up.

  "This is…? The Nine-Tails? I remember it broke free on its own! What happened to the Nine-Tails?" A series of questions left the medical ninja at a loss for words. The changes here were too significant to expin in a few sentences.

  "My child… where's my child?" Kushina seemed to suddenly realize something. She had just given birth. She would never forget her first child. "Where is my child?!" she loudly questioned the surrounding ninja while also activating her sensory abilities to search for chakra originating from her.

  She found it… but not because it originated from her, but because of that conspicuous, massive chakra body. The Nine-Tails.

  "Why has my son become a Jinchuriki?! What exactly happened? Say something!" Kushina was anxious, shouting as she ran towards the infant. The title of "Red Hot-Blooded Habanero" wasn't just for show.

  Minato also woke up. Having recovered, he instantly performed the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared beside Kushina.

  "It's a boy, healthy and strong. I'd like to name him Naruto," Minato said to Kushina with a smile.

  "'Becoming the best'… alright, let's go with that," Kushina's temper fred up quickly but also subsided quickly, especially in front of the gentle Minato, making it impossible for her to stay angry.

  "Alright, I'll take you to meet someone. He's the one who saved us and the Leaf Vilge," Minato said, holding Naruto in one arm and taking Kushina's hand as they walked towards Hazuki. Hazuki had just finished his parade and returned to find the Fourth Hokage.

  "Hazuki, this…"

  "Minato, let me tell you now about the seed we're leaving in the Leaf Vilge. Everything is done, and the elders within the Otsutsuki cn didn't give me much time. I must return on schedule," Hazuki interrupted Minato's words of gratitude without any hesitation. He knew what Minato wanted to say, so he didn't let Minato bother thanking him.

  "Understood. You mentioned leaving an Otsutsuki cn member with us in the Leaf Vilge?" Minato didn't get angry. After all, even the Hokage had to respect and understand their savior.

  "Yes, this is a newborn from our Otsutsuki cn, a direct descendant of the previous head of the cn, regarded by our elders as the hope of the new generation. At the same time, the current ninja world is too chaotic, with endless wars. We need to use our own means to quell these conflicts. And he, Haru, is our means, the seed for creating a peaceful world. We hope you will guide him well. If he cannot lead the ninja world towards peace, then the Otsutsuki will mobilize the entire cn to annihite those involved in the wars and create a new order."
