[Who is this Naruko?]— ID: Yellow Flash — Minato Namikaze.
A comment flashed across the screen, startling all the ninja watching the match.
Minato looked at the yellow-haired girl named Naruko and felt a bit confused.
She had the six-whisker marks of the Nine-Tails, bright blonde hair, and was named Naruko.
Could she be... his daughter?
Yes, there was no mistaking it.But—why was her surname Uzumaki and not Namikaze?
What was going on?
As he pondered this, the MOBA battle space lit up with flying comments:
[It's—it's our Fourth Hokage from the Leaf Village!]
[So this is the legendary Yellow Flash...]
[The man even faster than me!]
…
In an instant, the screen was flooded with bullet comments.
Minato Namikaze scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, and sent a message of his own:
[Thank you all for the kind words, but truly, I'm just a junior among you.]
Then another message popped up:
[Sensei.]— ID: Copy Ninja — Kakashi
[Kakashi! How have you been lately?]
Minato quickly responded when he saw Kakashi's comment.
He still remembered his student well.After losing his father, Kakashi became emotionally withdrawn.And after his teammates Rin and Obito died, he sank into deep despair.
Minato had always worried about him.
[Thanks to you, Sensei, I've been doing alright.]— ID: Hatake Kakashi
Then another question popped up from an unexpected source:
[Monkey, are these two also from the Leaf Village?]— ID: Tobirama Senju
[Yes, Second Hokage. Kakashi and I are both Leaf shinobi. I'm the Fourth Hokage, and Kakashi was already a jōnin before I died.]
Minato replied to Tobirama's question politely.
[Before you died? You're a Hokage—how did you die?]
Tobirama asked with a puzzled tone.
[Sensei, Minato died sealing the Nine-Tails. He's one of the Leaf's greatest heroes.]— ID: Hiruzen Sarutobi
[Sealing the Nine-Tails? You can die doing that?]
Hashirama Senju chimed in, clearly skeptical.
To him, the Nine-Tails was powerful, yes—but not that dangerous.Surely sealing it wouldn't be fatal?
[Madara, they're saying sealing the Nine-Tails can kill someone. Ever heard of that?]
Hashirama shot off another message.
[Hmph. The Nine-Tails? That overgrown pet? It's nothing.]
Uchiha Madara replied casually, unimpressed.
The other shinobi didn't know how to respond to the exchange,so their attention turned back to the battle at hand.
Meanwhile, Hayashi Ren had reached the red buff zone—and ran straight into Kiba Inuzuka.
"Hayashi Ren!"
Kiba shouted in shock.
Hayashi didn't hesitate.He immediately launched a Leaf Dance Kick, sending Kiba airborne.Following up with a flurry of basic attacks, he quickly formed the hand seal for "Water,"and—"whoosh!"—released a Shadow Clone.
Without missing a beat,Hayashi Ren used Leaf Whirlwind in perfect sync with his clone,both of them kicking Kiba hard in the chest.
