13 Uncovering the Truth

With his eyes closed, many memories entered Naruto's mind, scenes from the distant past to the present and the future, and all the stories from the anime streamed into his mind.

Besides just his world, he also learned about the stories of the others here, including Goku and Luffy, and it felt like a new world opened for him, filled with unbelievable beings and new power.

After that, he learned the background of this strange heavenly place and how the system works, and all of this information became imprinted into his mind.

When little Naruto finally opened his eyes, there was a sense of maturity in his eyes, which resulted from absorbing so many years of memory as his own.

Everyone watches Naruto see if there are any changes, and for some reason, this little guy stays quiet.

Slowly Naruto walked up to Minato with his head down; with a warmth in his smile, he watched Naruto stand in front of him silently, "Naruto?"

In the next second, everyone's face was surprised as Naruto hugged Minato tightly around the waist, with tears streaming down his eyes, "Dad!! I finally found you!"

"Dad?" Goku looked at the two strangely.

Everyone watching this immediately didn't know how to react to this rapid development upon seeing the two reunite like that.

"I have a son?" Minato says to himself strangely as Naruto hugs him tightly.

Jon came over to Minato and gave him a light pat on the shoulder, "Minato, he is your son Naruto Uzumaki."

Minato already feels like today is the strangest day of his life; not only did he arrive in this world, which is like a dream, but he has also adopted a new son.

"I think you should go receive the information next," Jon said with a warm smile, "everything would make sense afterward."

Opening his eyes upon absorbing the information, Minato couldn't believe that he wasn't able to rescue his son or his wife despite all of his efforts.

"Dad, it is alright," Naruto comforted with tears in his eyes from crying.

And the two of them hugged each other with affection, "I promise I will make it better this time, Naruto. I would never let my son be put under the care of another person."

Minato smiled warmly at Naruto as he held onto his shoulders, "And eating cup ramen all the time is not healthy. My son should taste his mother's cooking."

"Dad, I like eating cup ramen," Naruto said with an innocent smile, "I don't think I can ever get a taste of mom's cooking anymore. As in my world, you two have already..."

"I'll explain to Kushina," Minato said reassuringly as the two smiled and talked like they had known each other for a lifetime.

Seeing the memories, Minato was so disappointed in the Third Hokage for barely giving his son any allowance for food; one day, he will take his revenge on that old perverted geezer.

All of the problems are initiated because the Third could not step up to take responsibility, and these days he finds himself in a power struggle.

Despite being Hokage in name, he felt like all the power is still in the Third's hands, like an invisible string tugging on him. He learned that the Third had infiltrated people on every level to grasp hold of the power still.

"From now on, I'm the only Hokage," Minato said while hugging his son tightly.

One by one, everyone had the chance to see their memories and the future, but their reactions were all different. Let's start with Jiraiya, who is moping at the corner over there...

Jiraiya is drawing circles on the ground with his finger, "I died in the hands of my students. I'm so disappointed that I couldn't accompany Tsunade till the end. I"m such a failure."

Lee came up to Jiraiya and smiled, "Jiraiya, it is okay. Everything will be different this time. It is not too late to change things now."

Jiraiya felt his downcast soul warmed by that smile on Lee's face and slowly stood up and looked towards the glowing sun.

"You're right, Lee," Jiraiya said, turning his face back to look at Lee, his eyes filled with strength, "I will make it different this time. I'll marry Tsunade and protect the people I love."

"I'm glad you can see it that way, Jiraiya," Lee commented and looked in the same direction at the sun as Jiraiya, "after seeing those memories, I will be one step ahead this time of Guy-Sensei and beat Madara's ass!!"

Under the sun's warm glow, the two of them exchanged a hand sign to promise to do things differently and change the timeline.

While in the opposite direction, Sasuke says to Itachi with emotions behind his eyes, "I'm sorry big brother; looks like I've mistaken your intention the entire time."

Itachi, who is the same height as Sasuke and just graduated from the ninja academy, smiled warmly, "It is my fault, little brother, if I was only stronger...The ninja world is all about power. And without power, change is not possible. I was too foolish and naive."

"Big brother, I'm sure the master has a way to cure your hemoptysis," Sasuke said, holding back his emotions, "and this time, I feel like I have become stronger."

Tears fell from his eyes as the Mangekyo Sharingan appeared to the shock and surprise of Itachi, who wasn't expecting that the memories were so strong that they could push his little brother to awaken that power.

From the memories, Sasuke felt like he had finally broken through all of the lies, but he felt deep emotions for the person who sacrificed so much for the village and himself.

On the table, still feasting on the mountain of monster meat, Goku and Luffy are talking to each other.

"Goku, did you see, I became the pirate king! I accomplished it," Luffy said as he jumped with joy, "one day, I will unlock that Gear 5. It's so cool!!"
