After reaching an agreement, the figure of Minato Namikaze No. 2 gradually began to fade.
Minato Namikaze No. 1 did not stop him. He knew very well that this was just a Chakra Shadow Clone. Only after it completely dissipated could the real person inside the Shinigami's stomach receive the specific details.
"Alright, Naruto."
"It's time for us to leave!"
After saying that, Minato Namikaze took the bewildered Naruto and left the Nine-Tailed's sealing space just like that.
Indeed!
He did not go to see the Kushina of this world. After all, she was the woman of Minato Namikaze No. 2, and his own Kushina was still in another world.
Nine-Tailed: "..."
At this moment, it was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell!
Was it being ignored?
Thinking of this, the Nine-Tailed immediately let out an angry roar.
"Mi! Nato! Nami! Kaze!"
"You just wait, don't you ever give me a chance!"
"Otherwise..."
However, it was a pity.
Although Minato Namikaze heard the Nine-Tailed's frantic clamoring, he had no interest in talking nonsense with it.
After all, he had many things to attend to, and those matters didn't require the Nine-Tailed's cooperation, so Minato Namikaze naturally couldn't be bothered to waste time on it.
...
Inside the room.
After Minato Namikaze and Naruto returned, Naruto's face was filled with confusion.
"Dad~"
"That uncle just now looked just like you!"
"Who is he?"
Naruto asked, looking at the Minato Namikaze in front of him with confusion.
To this, Minato Namikaze patted Naruto's head and then said with a smile: "He is me, and I am him; we are the same person."
"So, he is also your father. From now on, enjoy your childhood and play to your heart's content with your friends."
"In the future, no one in Konoha will dare to provoke you!"
"Likewise..."
"You cannot slack off on your training; Dad will teach you personally—do you understand?"
Indeed.
He did not explain it to Naruto, as he was still too young to understand such complex matters.
Therefore, it was unnecessary!
Once he grew up, he would naturally understand.
Seeing that it was already late, Minato Namikaze found a new set of bedding, coaxed Naruto to sleep, and then slowly drifted off himself.
There were many things to do tomorrow, and he needed to sleep early and rise early!
On the other side.
Uchiha Clan Compound!
After Shisui, Fugaku, and the others returned to the Uchiha Clan, they called all the elders over. Once they announced the news of Minato Namikaze's ascension, the entire clan compound instantly became calm.
Obviously, everyone had a good impression of Minato Namikaze!
Now, with the retreat of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze regaining control as Hokage, smiles naturally appeared on everyone's faces.
Regardless, the clan could finally be stable.
Clan Leader's house, guest room.
After the other clan elders left, Shisui couldn't help but ask: "Lord Fugaku, why didn't you let me reveal my identity?"
"After all, I cannot stay here for long. Once I finish my mission, I will definitely have to return, so it is impossible for me to serve as the clan leader here for a long time."
"Now that the situation within the clan has stabilized, shouldn't we open up and have a proper discussion?"
Indeed.
He really didn't understand!
After all, this was not his world. He intended to go back after finishing the mission, as his family and friends were all in another world.
This world was similar but not the same.
Although it looked like everyone he knew, they weren't his actual friends!
To this, Fugaku took a deep breath and then said helplessly: "Shisui, you are thinking too simply!"
"Right now, you are the anchor of the clan. Once people find out that you are not from this world, everyone's hearts will definitely fall into panic."
"Even beyond your situation, not even Minato Namikaze can reveal his true identity!"
"Otherwise..."
"The entire Konoha would instantly fall into chaos. After all, no one wants their Village to be truly controlled by someone from another world!"
"So, take my advice: wait until Minato is truly in power, and we can discuss it then!"
"At the very least!"
"If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to learn your true identities, then even though he has already stepped down, I believe that old man would definitely come running back out!"
"Furthermore, think about it."
"Is Uchiha Jin from your world really just helping us out of the goodness of his heart?"
"Although we are all Uchiha, we are not from the same world. If there were no other benefits, would he help us for no reason?"
"There is a whole world between us!"
"Although I don't know what kind of power is required to open a passage between two worlds, even a guess tells me that achieving such a thing is definitely not simple!"
"Regardless of whether Uchiha Jin wants to conquer this world or has other ideas, the Uchiha on our side will definitely support him with all our might."
"But, at the same time!"
"Before we figure out Uchiha Jin's intentions, I still suggest you not to act rashly. Everything should be decided after discussing it with Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru."
At this moment, Fugaku was speaking earnestly.
Indeed!
Even if he might have had more or less shortcomings, he had been the clan leader for so many years and still had a keen sense for matters at the higher level.
Even if he couldn't guess Uchiha Jin's true purpose, he knew that the other party was definitely not just being kind!
In this world, no one acts without a profit motive!
On the other side, after listening to Fugaku's words, Shisui couldn't help but stand stunned in place.
Obviously, he hadn't really thought about these things.
In the end, he became sullen, feeling that what Fugaku said was very reasonable.
Sigh!
After a helpless sigh, Shisui felt that he was still too naive.
After pondering for a long time, he nodded solemnly: "Lord Fugaku, I understand."
"Then let's proceed according to what you said. I will be the clan leader for this period, and we can discuss the rest after I talk to Lord Minato and Lord Orochimaru!"
Hearing this, Fugaku nodded.
Seeing that he had finally convinced Shisui, a faint smile appeared on his face!
Indeed.
He was truly willing to hand over the position of clan leader to Shisui, and regardless of what Uchiha Jin wanted to do, he would choose to support him 100%.
The reason?
Simple and unadorned!
If not for the help of the Uchiha from another world, their Uchiha Clan would have been wiped out tonight.
Once everyone is dead, what's the use of thinking about anything else!
Therefore... regardless of what Uchiha Jin wants to do, the Uchiha on this side are willing to support him with all their might. At worst, they can just go live in another world in the future.
...
Outside Konoha Village, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Relying on the data from Root and his understanding of himself, Orochimaru had already determined his most likely location in this world!
He was clearly not interested in the messy affairs within Konoha Village.
Therefore, seeing that Minato Namikaze could stabilize the situation, he immediately chose to go find the version of himself in this world!
After all... regarding status, power, and such, the path of scientific research pleased him more.
