The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 554 reveals

Naruto turned his head quickly with a look of astonishment, his gaze falling directly on the masked, enigmatic Minato Namikaze.

Minato remained calm, showing not even a hint of surprise or excitement, as if he didn't recognize Naruto at all.

This made Naruto suspicious, and his initial hope instantly cooled down.

After a moment's hesitation, Naruto asked again in a slightly trembling voice:

"Really...really?"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, his palms already covered in sweat.

At the same time, he raised his head and stared at Minato with an incredibly yearning look, a look that contained both anticipation for the truth and deep fear and worry.

After all, for so many years, he had been desperately searching for any clues about his parents, but to no avail.

In this cruel ninja world filled with bloodshed and slaughter, if no clues about relatives can be found for a long time, there is usually only one outcome.

—They are probably no longer alive.

Thinking of this, Naruto felt a sharp pain in his heart.

His childhood was filled with hardship and bullying. If he could find his biological father, who would willingly become a helpless orphan?

At this moment, countless questions flood my mind, and countless thoughts I want to share.

Naruto's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Minato's heart, causing him to involuntarily tremble.

"How can I prove he is my son?"

Despite verbally questioning how to prove that the person was his son.

But in reality, a feeling that was hard to describe was welling up deep in Minato's heart.

Perhaps, the person in front of me really is my child.

However, without solid evidence, he dared not easily believe it, much less rashly acknowledge it.

After all, this matter is of great importance, and the slightest carelessness could lead to unexpected consequences.

Just then, Naruto also turned his gaze toward the direction where Chiyo was.

Qianyao's Sharingan shifted slightly, and an invisible power suddenly erupted.

In an instant, Naruto seemed to lose his self-awareness, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, the incredibly violent Nine-Tails chakra within Naruto erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption.

This powerful force instantly broke through Chiyo's control over Naruto.

"Look, back then you were the one who personally sealed the Nine-Tails into his body and named him Naruto Uzumaki."

"As for the rest... I think you know perfectly well why you chose such a name."

Qian Yao smiled and spoke slowly.

"Besides, look at his blond hair, which is exactly the same as yours. Can't you guess?"

Minato witnessed Naruto being instantly controlled by Senyou, and couldn't help but be secretly amazed by Senyou's unfathomable strength.

However, at the same time, when he saw Naruto's Nine-Tails power and his hair color which was exactly the same as his own, the last trace of doubt in his heart completely disappeared.

Moreover, he had originally planned to name his future son this.

The boy in front of him is really his biological son, Naruto!

At this moment, Naruto was looking at Minato with a pitiful expression, as if waiting for his father to give him a positive answer.

However, Minato was a very responsible person, and faced with this situation, he did not immediately respond to Naruto's expectant gaze.

Instead, Minato stared intently at Chiyo with a serious expression and solemnly began to speak:

"I don't know your true identity, but since you know so much about the future..."

"You should also understand that if we rashly try to change history, it will lead to extremely serious and unpredictable catastrophic consequences!"

When it comes to knowledge reserves, Qianyao far surpasses Shuimen!

Qian Yao waved his hand dismissively and said casually:

"Hey, at worst, we can just cast a forgetting spell after this is all over."

Upon hearing this, Minato slowly shook his head, a solemn expression on his face, and replied:

Even so, I still don't really want to know how things will develop in the future.

At this moment, Minato was about twenty-two years old and was fully preparing to run for the Fourth Hokage.

Now, he is firmly bound by the heavy shackles of responsibility.

Faced with an unknown future, he was filled with confusion and unease, having no idea how many trials and tribulations awaited him.

However, from his current perspective, at least Naruto's growth has been relatively smooth, and he has grown up safely.

That is why he dared not easily try to change the course of history.

After all, for this ninja who was born with spatial talent and could skillfully use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Whether it is the vast expanse of space or the long history, both deserve his deepest reverence.

If the course of history is arbitrarily and drastically altered, it could very likely lead to unimaginable consequences.

It could even cause many innocent people to lose their lives due to the butterfly effect.

Even though he vaguely suspected that he might no longer be alive, Minato still had no intention of changing the past.

Naruto, who was standing to the side, looked somewhat naive and confused, but at this moment he finally realized that this person was really his father.

However, Naruto was overjoyed to see his father, but the long-awaited relative showed him no joy whatsoever.

The cold words reveal only endless indifference and heartlessness.

This sudden blow struck Naruto's heart like a heavy hammer.

He stared wide-eyed at his father in disbelief, his eyes quickly reddening and welling with tears.

Naruto's longing for his parents had always burned like a raging fire, but now it had been ruthlessly extinguished by this cold reality.

Chiyo, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to see Naruto so sad and upset.

After all, Naruto had been with him for many years, both in his past life and this one.

Although Chiyo had already guessed that Minato might have unspeakable difficulties, and perhaps even a problem with his sense of responsibility, he would never tolerate Minato treating Naruto this way.

Qian Yao's lips curled slightly upward, and he said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Oh? In that case, I won't tell you that you're about to become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

This statement didn't actually have much of a negative impact on Minato.

With his outstanding achievements and the strong support of the Third Hokage, his election as Hokage is almost a certainty.

Just then, Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shiki rushed over.

It turned out that they had overheard every word of the conversation between Chiyo and Minato.

At this moment, when they learned that Minato would be taking on the position of Hokage in the future, they couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, thinking that things were now settled.

But who would have thought that what Qianyao said next would be like a bolt from the blue.

This left the people present speechless and stunned.
