Knowing the Price, Meeting Minato

"The Fuck!" Naruto shouted as he looked at the Shinigami cutting his stomach after listening to him. He had been just joking but he didn't expect the Shinigami to listen to him. Even Kurumi is shocked and she didn't know what to say.

"Shinigami San! Why did you listen to me?" Naruto asked as he saw the blobs of blue chakra in front of him. He knew what they were and he was tempted to grab them but he wanted to know what conditions and price he had to pay.

Shinigami kept on looking at Naruto and said, "Uzumaki Child! I don't listen to anyone. Your clan has already paid for this. Next time, be sure to call me if you have any dark ones to eat. I won't take your soul as payment. Though I will take the sacrifices you have prepared, they are dark too."

The Shinigami said in an indifferent voice but it sent chills to Naruto, and he wondered what price Uzumaki Clan had to pay before. As for calling Shinigami again, he didn't plan to do it, maybe.

'Will Danzo's soul be dark? I think, but can Shinigami be stopped by Iznanagi?'

Naruto was tempted to ask this but he saw The Shinigami disappearing after placing the souls in the seal in his stomach. The touch of Shinigami made him shiver and he felt he was near death herself.

After Shinigami disappeared, Naruto fell to his knees and started to pant while his clone disappeared from the place and Naruto didn't even receive the memories of the clone.

"hah! Hah! Ha! Hah! I won't summon Shinigami again. I would prefer if they were milfs from Bleach but this, No! never!" Naruto said and then he remembered something. Creating a Clone to guard himself, he closed his eyes and appeared in his Mindscape. There, he saw a sleeping Minato and two identical-looking women looking at each with a smile on their faces,

Even though they looked the same, Naruto could differentiate them with their aura. One had a warm, cheerful aura while the other had a dark and cold aura.

"Eh? Two Kurumi? You two didn't join?" Naruto said while looking at the Yin Half and Yang Half of Kyuubi.

"We were waiting for you." The duo said at the same time and then the two looked at each other. Yang Half giggled at it while Yin Half snorted.

"When we will merge, we will be asleep for some time and you won't be able to talk with us, so before merging, we want to clear the relationship you have with us with Minato and make sure he can survive by the time we are done."

"Huh? What do you mean? Will he disappear because he is a Soul?" Naruto asked as he looked at the duo.

"Hmm! He will if he doesn't have the energy to sustain himself. The Yin Half was sealed inside Minato, and if she hadn't come out, Minato could live as long as he wants. But Shinigami separated the two and directly sealed Yin Half in you with Minato. I don't know why Shinigami did this but this way is more beneficial for you." Kurumi said and I nodded at her.

"So what are you going to do?" Naruto asked the two, and they looked at each other and nodded.

"Before that, you should wake him up. We tried but he didn't wake up. I think Shinigami didn't trust us enough."

Naruto looked at the sleeping Minato and appeared at his side. Looking at Minato, he had complex feelings as he knew that Minato is his father, and he is Minato's child but with his past life's memories, he can't be considered his child too.

Sighing, the Eight-year-old Naruto touched Minato's body and then he felt his chakra getting drained by him. Seeing this, he understood that Shinigami had done more than enough as with his chakra, Minato's Silhouette was getting brighter and brighter, and at the end, he started to look normal.

Seeing this, The trio had a surprised expression as now Minato looked like he is alive and Kurumi couldn't sense any breath of death near him.

"I wonder how Shinigami did this, and why did he do this?" Yin Half Kurumi said while Yang Half Kurumi had speculation but it was too wild to think about this so she didn't say it.

They saw Minato opening his eyes and then he said, "Huh? Where am I?"

He was about to look around but then he heard a voice that said, "Welcome Back, Da--Fourth Hokage."

Looking in the direction of the voice, Minato saw a young boy with yellow hair and whiskers on his face. The boy had a smile on his face but Minato could see the bitterness in his eyes.

"Na-Naruto?" Minato said in an uncertain voice while looking at the familia child in front of me.

"Yeah! I am Naruto Uzumaki, Da-Fourth Hokage." Naruto said. Even though he was trying to call Minato 'Dad', he just couldn't complete the words and lie.

Hearing him, Minato rushed towards Naruto and hugged him.

"Narutoooo!" Minato shouted and pulled Naruto into a tight hug, forgetting what Naruto said before. Naruto, who was hugged by Minato felt his warm hug and tears appeared in his eyes.

They both started to cry while hugging each and the scene was witnessed by two women, Maybe Three.

After a few minutes, the duo heard some coughs and they separated after hearing this.

"You two will have all the time in life. For now, let us do our work and then you can chat later." Yin Half Kurumi said while looking at the two. Hearing her, Minato went on guard and asked, "Who are you two? No wait! I have heard this voice before. Kyuubi??"

The duo nodded and then transformed into two Nine-Tailed Foxes and they again transformed back into human form. Seeing this, Minato was dumbfounded while Naruto was calm but inwardly, he was thinking about his relationship with Minato.

"Fourth Hokage! Kurumi has been helping me since I was a child and if it's her, I would have already died in Konoha." Naruto said and Minato, who heard this felt his heart clenching when Naruto called him Fourth Hokage, instead of Dad. He was about to say but Naruto beat him and said, "Please! Don't talk about this matter. Even if I had known about this for a long time, I just can't call you Father immediately. Besides, I am still angry at you for thinking that Konoha Village is greater than your family."
