"The Uchiha Clan will be annihilated, with only two survivors: the one who personally executed the massacre, Uchiha Itachi, and his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke," Yamato quickly said.
Yamato's words were brief, but they brought immense shock to those present.
"The Uchiha massacre? Carried out by a guy named Uchiha Itachi?" Obito was astounded.
Though it was the first time he heard the name Uchiha Itachi, Obito ingrained it deeply in his mind.
Obito didn't hold much family honor, as he had few friends in the Uchiha Clan, and the only assembly he attended left a very bad impression on him.
But learning about the annihilation of the Uchiha still made Obito angry. After all, it was his clan, and he didn't want to see his few friends perish.
"Did he destroy the Uchiha alone, or did he have help?" Kakashi frowned and asked.
If Uchiha Itachi single-handedly exterminated the Uchiha, then Uchiha Itachi's power was exaggerated beyond belief.
The Uchiha Clan was the strongest ninja clan in Konoha, with numerous Jonin with Three Tomoe in their ranks. The thought of such a powerful ninja clan being wiped out by one person was unimaginable to Kakashi.
"I don't know the details, but Uchiha Itachi's strength is indeed formidable. Kakashi-senpai, you were once injured by him and hospitalized," Yamato explained.
Kakashi's expression remained unchanged. In the past, he lost to him, but he might not lose in the future.
"I'll inquire within my clan upon returning. I must see how strong that guy is now," Obito planned to investigate matters related to Uchiha Itachi upon returning.
While Obito and his group were plotting to change the future, on the other side, Uzumaki Naruto was having a great time.
To ensure Uzumaki Naruto had no regrets, Namikaze Minato went to great lengths, gathering information days in advance and noting down all the fun places and good food in Loulan.
The entire day was spent eating, drinking, and having fun as they explored from local delicacies to unique architecture.
"I haven't been this happy in a long time. Thank you so much, Brother Minato," Naruto stretched and smiled with ease.
"As long as you're happy," Namikaze Minato replied with a gentle smile.
"This mission is truly fantastic. Not only did I meet the young Pervy Sage, but I also got to know great people like Brother Mokgetsu and Brother Minato," Uzumaki Naruto thought with gratitude.
Uzumaki Naruto was very satisfied now, and his only hope was that after returning to the past, things would have changed due to Kakashi and the others' efforts.
"Naive kid, do you think he treats you well for no reason?"
Uzumaki Naruto suddenly felt disoriented, and a giant cage appeared before him.
"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Uzumaki Naruto had been here before, so he wasn't flustered. Instead, he irritatedly questioned the Nine-tails.
"Hmph," the Nine-tails snorted coldly. "No real reason, just telling you that Namikaze Minato is your father, and he's the one who sealed me into your body."
"Oh, so he's my fathe…" Hearing the Nine-tails' words clearly, Uzumaki Naruto froze.
"This isn't a funny joke. You better explain this clearly," Uzumaki Naruto's expression grew cold as he clenched his fists and glared at the Nine-tails.
As an orphan, Uzumaki Naruto hated it when others joked about his father.
"I have no obligation to explain to you, kid. The person is right in front of you, go ask him yourself," the Nine-tails grinned with its large mouth.
He didn't reveal this truth because he was a good fox; on the contrary, he was irritated by how happy they seemed.
The Nine-tails detested the Namikaze family. Uzumaki Kushina imprisoned him for so long, even snatching his Chakra, and Namikaze Minato split him in half and sealed him into Uzumaki Naruto.
As someone who has truly watched Naruto grow up, the Nine-tails was well aware of all that Uzumaki Naruto went through, and he couldn't believe Naruto wouldn't resent Minato, who caused all of this.
Uzumaki Naruto wanted to ask more questions, but he quickly awoke, with Namikaze Minato's concerned face in front of him.
"Is there an issue with the seal? I felt the Nine-tails' Chakra," Namikaze Minato asked worriedly as he lifted Naruto's clothing to check his abdomen.
Seeing the seal, Namikaze Minato's eyes flickered briefly before he quickly adjusted Naruto's clothing.
Uzumaki Naruto ignored Namikaze Minato's actions. The Nine-tails' words echoed in his mind, and after some thought, he realized that Namikaze Minato's kindness was indeed somewhat abnormal.
Mokgetsu was also kind to him, but during their first meeting, Mokgetsu had beaten him up, only gradually becoming kinder over time.
However, Namikaze Minato was different; it seemed like he wanted to make up for something, being kind to him from the first meeting, trying to fulfill any of his requests.
"Brother Minato, are you my father?" Uzumaki Naruto, being a straightforward person, directly asked.
Namikaze Minato's expression froze. Though Naruto's question had many points to be evaluated, Minato had no intention to comment.
"Seems my disguise skills are really lacking," Minato sighed helplessly.
He hadn't expected to be exposed on the very last day.
Namikaze Minato didn't want to acknowledge his identity to Naruto, but when the child asked such a question, he couldn't keep pretending.
