Naruto lifted his head and looked at his approaching mother, saying, "Yoruha, this is my mom. So, my mom really is from the Uzumaki clan. What do you think, isn't my mom a great beauty?" Yoruha, who was about to greet Kushina, was left speechless by Naruto's words. Naruto really doesn't think before he speaks; that sounded so odd.
What left Yoruha even more speechless was that Kushina didn't seem to notice anything wrong. She cheerfully replied, "Of course, your mom is definitely a great beauty." Looking at the mother and son, Yoruha didn't know what to say. Minato, standing nearby, also noticed Yoruha's awkwardness.
He asked, "Yoruha, it's been a while. Where have you been? Have you been outside for that long?" Minato hadn't ntioned to Naruto that he had t Yoruha before. Yoruha thought for a mont and said, "I was consolidating my strength because I made so gains."
Minato was stunned. "You actually increased your strength?" He was truly shocked because, in his view, Yoruha's power was already terrifying enough. Being able to suppress both the First and Second Hokage and instantly undo the Edo Tensei on him and the Third Hokage, such power, in Minato's eyes, was akin to the Sage of Six Paths. It might even be stronger since he had never seen how powerful the Sage of Six Paths was, but he had seen Yoruha's strength.
Yoruha nodded. The reason he said this was because Minato couldn't imagine how much Yoruha's strength had increased. The power Yoruha had previously shown was not even one percent of his true strength.
Even that had already made Minato feel it was terrifying. If Minato knew Yoruha's current strength, he would only think of one word: god. Yoruha's current power, to the people of this world, was indeed like that of a god.
Not just to humans, but to most intelligent beings in the universe, Yoruha's strength could be called divine. Even though Yoruha's energy was insignificant compared to the universe, he didn't need to surpass the universe's energy to beco a god. Divinity is relative.
Naruto, noticing Minato seed to know Yoruha well, asked curiously, "Father, do you know Yoruha?" The Nine-Tails also looked at Minato. Logically, Yoruha and Minato shouldn't know each other.
Minato felt a bit awkward because if he explained how he knew Yoruha, the First, Second, and Third Hokage might feel embarrassed. Seeing Minato's expression, Kushina walked over and curiously asked, "Minato, how do you know this child? Weren't you supposed to have died with ?"
Minato looked at Yoruha, seeking help. Yoruha explained, "The Fourth Hokage was resurrected through Edo Tensei." Yoruha's words made Naruto pause.
He knew what Edo Tensei was and frowned, "Who did it?" Knowing what Edo Tensei was made him angry; the thought of his father's soul being manipulated was infuriating. Kushina, knowing what Edo Tensei was, was also displeased.
"Orochimaru." Naruto clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he spoke. "It's that guy again. The next ti I see him, I'm definitely going to teach him a lesson." Minato looked at his son with a sense of pride.
"Naruto, there's no need to be so angry. Actually, after Orochimaru used the Edo Tensei to bring back, he didn't really cause Yoruha any trouble." Kushina, standing nearby, was puzzled. "Didn't cause him any trouble? You can use the Flying Thunder God Technique."
She believed that Minato's attacks might not pose a threat to Yoruha, as Minato wasn't particularly known for large-scale destructive jutsu. But to say it didn't cause any trouble?
The Flying Thunder God Technique is notoriously difficult to deal with. The ninjas of Iwagakure know this best. During the Third Shinobi World War, Iwagakure even issued orders to abandon missions and flee upon encountering the Yellow Flash. The main reason for their fear of Minato was precisely because his Flying Thunder God Technique was so troubleso. If Minato wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
However, Naruto had complete faith in Minato's words, as he was well aware of Yoruha's strength. "Mom, Yoruha can also use the Flying Thunder God Technique." Kushina was stunned. "What! He can use the Flying Thunder God Technique too? You've got to be kidding."
The Flying Thunder God Technique was a formidable jutsu. Many had tried to learn it, but only Minato had mastered it. Now Naruto was saying that Yoruha could also use it, which naturally shocked Kushina.
She knew very well how powerful the Flying Thunder God Technique was. Naruto nodded confidently. "It's normal. Yoruha had already mastered it by the age of 12. Not only that, but he also mastered the Chidori and the Rasengan at 12. Yoruha's strength is imnse, even surpassing Sasuke by a large margin." Listening to Naruto's account, Kushina looked at Yoruha as if she were seeing a monster.
"Mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique at 12, along with Minato's Rasengan and Kakashi's Chidori—what kind of prodigy is this child? I doubt even the First Hokage was this absurd at 12." Since the First Hokage's wife was from the Uzumaki clan, Kushina knew more about the Senju clan than most.
She was well aware of how powerful the First Hokage was. Yet, even the First Hokage at 12 couldn't have had the kind of strength Yoruha possessed. Naruto looked at Yoruha and said, "I fear Yoruha's strength has already surpassed the First Hokage."
The Nine-Tails, who had been ignored, scoffed, "This guy has definitely surpassed the First Hokage. His Wood Release far exceeds the First's." The Nine-Tails still rembered the beating it received from Yoruha's Wood Release. Yoruha's Thousand-Ard Buddha was much larger and more powerful than Hashirama's.
The Nine-Tails even suspected that wasn't Yoruha's full strength. Surpassing the First Hokage seed entirely normal. Minato nodded in agreent with the Nine-Tails. "Yoruha's strength indeed surpasses the First Hokage. Back then, Orochimaru summoned the First, Second, Third Hokage, and simultaneously."
"But neither the First nor the Second Hokage could match Yoruha. The Third and I were quickly released from the Edo Tensei, and Orochimaru was defeated without gaining any advantage." Kushina was even more shocked.
"His strength truly surpasses the First Hokage, and even with four Hokage together, they weren't his match?" It was one thing to speculate, but confirming it was an entirely different feeling.
