Chapter 68

"Then let's bring something to see them tomorrow! Although they were our enemies in the memory orbs, their influence on Naruto is extraordinary now! Besides, maybe we'll need their help to resurrect Naruto in the future!" Kushina analyzed calmly!

Minato thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed with Kushina's suggestion.

The next morning, Minato, Kushina, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin set off for Haku's home. Originally, Kakashi and Obito didn't intend to come, but after Rin learned that Minato and Kushina planned to visit Haku and his mother, she dragged them along!

The group carried many items and headed toward Haku's home in a grand procession.

Haku and his mother had been settled by Minato in Konoha housing. The room wasn't large, just one bedroom and a living room, and it was located on the outskirts of the village! It took the group about 40 minutes to reach Haku's home.

At this time, Haku's mother had already started cooking for Haku. Because she had to work, she needed to prepare lunch for Haku. Haku was also very sensible; he had woken up early to help his mother with the chores!

Looking at the sensible child, Haku's mother smiled slightly. Although life was a bit hard, she was grateful to have such a child. It's just that...

At this moment, there was a knock at the door. Haku's mother was a bit puzzled because she wasn't a native of Konoha and had no relatives; the only people she knew were the ones she worked with, but they didn't know her address! Although puzzled, she still went to open the door.

The ones knocking were naturally Minato and the others. Seeing Haku's mother open the door, Rin bowed and said: "Good morning, ma'am. Sorry to disturb you so early."

Obito and Kakashi, though reluctant, were pressed down by Rin—one hand on each of their heads—and bowed! Although their mental ages were older than Haku's mother, their current physical ages were still children, and it was only right for juniors to greet their elders.

Haku's mother recognized Minato and the others who had saved them at a glance and hurriedly made way for them to enter.

"Are you getting used to life in Konoha?" The group brought the gifts they had prepared into the house and placed them down. Haku's mother declined repeatedly, but in the end, she couldn't refuse and accepted them. After everyone was seated, Minato asked first.

"It's alright. The people in Konoha are very kind and have been very good to us. We originally intended to visit your home, but we didn't know where you lived, so it kept getting delayed. I didn't expect you to come to us first," Haku's mother said politely.

"Haku, has anyone been bullying you?" Rin looked at Haku, who was sitting nearby, and asked.

"No, they've all been very good to me. I've also made many friends, but I do miss my father a little," Haku answered innocently.

Hearing this, Haku's mother's face dimmed. Although she was living happily in Konoha now, she still had regrets! She could understand her husband; for ordinary people to make a living in this world was already difficult enough, and one careless move could cost them their lives! So they had to live very cautiously!

Through yesterday's video, she knew that Haku had killed everyone in the village to avenge her past self. But she didn't feel a shred of joy; on the contrary, she felt very sad! Yes, in the world of civilians, ninjas were synonymous with slaughter and misfortune, so for civilians, they could only stay far away from ninjas!

Just like how she originally had a happy family, but because of her bloodline limit, they wanted to kill her and her daughter! Why?

It was simple: those civilians were afraid of losing control, afraid of enemies coming to their door and getting them caught in the crossfire, afraid of offending them and being retaliated against! And what about her child? Possessing such power—that was a terrifying thing! What if a child accidentally provoked her child while playing? Then...

Given so many factors, it would be strange if the villagers could live in peace with her! A ninja's strength was power, and it was the power to decide life and death! And this power could even appear in a child—just thinking about it was terrifying!

Why did the ninjas of the Five Great Nations live concentrated together? Why was it treated as a missing-nin offense if someone disobeyed orders and left the village at will? Because these people were extremely dangerous existences when outside!

Minato, Kakashi, and Obito were all very clear about this, but they were truly helpless. Changing this situation would be a long and arduous task, and it had to be done after resolving the Otsutsuki clan. For now, all they could do was restrain the behavior of ninjas.

After thinking for a moment, Obito disappeared directly using Kamui. A moment later, Obito and a man appeared in the room—it was Haku's father!

At this moment, he looked gaunt, his eyes were dull, and his face was covered in stubble! Seeing Haku, the light finally returned to his gray eyes. Haku's mother also shed tears upon seeing him, and Haku walked over and hugged his father tightly.

Obito gave the group a look, signaling everyone to take their leave first.

"Is it really okay to bring him here?" Once outside, Rin couldn't help but ask.

"They're all pitiful people. It's not great to keep them torn apart. Besides, Haku and his mother's strength is far above his father's, and there are so many people watching; it shouldn't be a problem," Obito thought for a moment and replied.

The group nodded, agreeing with Obito's statement. In the memories, the most painful one should have been his father—a happy family, eventually forced to the point of having to kill his wife and child! ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
