"?"
Upon hearing Minato's words, Naruto paused for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened.
"—?! You're my dad? Wait, this isn't right, you look about my age!"
"I came to this world by accident through some kind of space-time ninjutsu. Perhaps it's because of space-time, or perhaps it's due to the difference in the flow of time in parallel worlds, but the world I'm in is still several decades in the past."
The water gate was explained simply.
"But your surname is Namikaze—"
"Your mother's surname is Uzumaki, and her name is Uzumaki Kushina. She has beautiful red hair," Minato said gently.
Naruto stared blankly at Minato, his eyes gradually filling with tears.
He wiped away his tears and sniffed: "If that's the case, then you really are my dad. I do have parents—"
It's not some kind of monster either —
"Of course, you are my son, the son of the Fourth Hokage."
Minato wiped his hands clean, took two steps forward, and gently patted Naruto's head.
"Don't do that, it feels weird."
Naruto awkwardly dodged Minato's hand.
Although he was somewhat excited to see his father, Minato looked to be about the same age as him, which made him feel very strange.
"Is that so—"
Minato thought for a moment: "Then wait a moment, I'll change my appearance."
With that, he turned and went into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
Two minutes later, the door opened again.
A tall, handsome young man with blond hair, who looked to be around twenty years old, appeared in front of Naruto.
Naruto instinctively took two steps back, staring blankly at the figure in front of him.
The other person was dressed in a black undershirt and trousers, with handsome and delicate features. He was a completely enlarged version of Minato, but his eyes were slightly narrower and his face was less chubby, making him look more sharp.
This is not a transformation technique, but Minato's right eye eye technique, the effect of Mikazuki, which can change the target's physical growth state.
This was the first time Minato had used this eye technique, and the consumption of eye power was negligible for him at this point.
However, this is for self-use only. If used on other targets, the consumption of eye power may be greater.
Back when he awakened this eye technique, Minato had specially bought several clothes of different sizes in case of emergency, and now they came in handy.
"Yes, this is what I looked like when I grew up to be twenty years old. My appearance should be exactly the same as mine in this world," Minato said with a smile.
Naruto stared blankly at Minato: "He looks exactly like the Fourth Hokage on the Rock of Shadows."
"Of course, we're parallel universe counterparts!"
Minato raised his hand and patted Naruto's head: "That makes it less strange, doesn't it?"
"Um--"
Naruto's eyes reddened again, but this time he didn't dodge Minato's hand and gave a soft "hmm".
"So—will you leave again later?"
"I will definitely return to my world."
Minato nodded: "But before I leave, I will teach you some ninjutsu so that you can grow stronger as soon as possible."
Naruto looked somewhat disappointed, but it wasn't unexpected.
The Minato in front of him was not his real father, but merely an counterpart from a parallel universe, and could not possibly stay with him forever.
Seeing Naruto's disappointed look, Minato's heart softened: "I can promise you, before I leave, I will find a way to let you meet your parents."
"Really?"
Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light, which then quickly dimmed: "Don't lie to me, they're all dead."
"For me, death is not an obstacle."
Minato ruffled Naruto's hair: "I'm very strong!"
"Um--"
Naruto pursed his lips, a hint of anticipation rising in his heart.
The next day, Minato and Naruto arrived at the third training ground early to continue their training with the Rasengan.
Since Naruto didn't seem to have any problem with using two thousand shadow clones yesterday, Minato told Naruto to increase the number of shadow clones to forty.
"You must remember that the Rasengan is made by causing chakra to rotate randomly inside the ball. Simply rotating the chakra won't work, but ordinary people can usually only control rotation in one direction."
-
"Although you can use both hands to take the shortcut, it will greatly sacrifice the convenience of the technique, which is not worth it. So you can use both hands to get a feel for it first, and then switch to one hand before the water balloon explodes to get used to it little by little."
Minato shared his training experience with Naruto, and Naruto quickly entered a training state.
Two hours later, Minato had Naruto release the Shadow Clone Technique.
"Now, let's try again."
"oh!"
Naruto held his right wrist with his left hand and held a water balloon in his right palm.
Then the water balloon in his palm suddenly deformed violently and burst open with a pop.
Minato's eyes lit up slightly; it seemed Naruto's talent was even better than Nawaki's.
Poor Rope Tree, not even as good as my son—
"Well done."
Shuimen took out a ball: "Next, the second stage—explode this one in the same way."
"It's a ball again—"
Naruto was speechless for a moment, but he still obediently did as he was told, though he couldn't help but mutter, "Seriously, isn't there any other ninjutsu you can teach me?"
"You don't seem to have the talent for hand seals, so you're not suited for the path of ordinary ninjutsu."
As Minato spoke, he formed several hand seals with one hand, his fingertips flying across the screen, leaving a trail of afterimages: "My limit is eight seals per second, what about you?"
Naruto guiltily turned his head away: "About three, I guess."
"For a ninja, this is no different from being crippled."
Minato shook his head and chuckled: "The Rasengan is an A-rank ninjutsu. Furthermore, if you add nature transformation, it can reach S-rank. Most importantly, it's a no-seal ninjutsu, which is perfect for someone as simple-minded as you."

"You mean idiot, right?"
Naruto squinted and looked at Minato with a deep gaze, while Minato gave an awkward smile.
"But what kind of Rasengan is an S-rank Rasengan?"
Naruto asked curiously, "Minato, can you do that?"
"Of course, this is a ninjutsu I created."
Minato nodded, then raised his hand, and chakra rapidly gathered in his palm, transforming into a Rasengan with a huge wind blade.
A terrifying surge of chakra whipped up a strong wind, and Kakashi, who was hiding in the shadows, stared in shock.
"This move has been perfected? And—it's one-handed?"
How can one cast a Rasengan with one hand without forming hand seals, and also inject chakra nature transformation into it?
Is this kind of chakra control really something that humans can achieve?
Just then, Minato raised his other hand, and a dazzling red chakra ball gathered in his palm.
"Wind Release: Rasengan and Fire Release: Great Flame Rasengan are both advanced ninjutsu derived from the Rasengan."
Because he was teaching his son, Minato's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of pride: "How was it? Impressive, right?"
"That's amazing!"
Naruto clenched his fist excitedly, like a little fanboy.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi, who was hiding in the shadows, frowned deeply.
This doesn't seem like the teacher's style of naming children.
Just then, Minato spoke again: "Of course, it can also be called the Dimensional Inspiration-Inspired High-Explosive Rasengan—"
Ah—that's more like it!
Kakashi nodded secretly.
