Betting with Minato

"Young man, I don't want to show up. After all, I'm already a dead man." The Fourth Hokage looked at Ryoha with a bright smile on his face. It had to be said that this guy's personality was really charming. He was able to conquer anyone easily, and he also passed on this power to Naruto.

"But I have to." Minato said.

"You think of your son as the child of prophecy just because of a dream? As the Hokage, don't you know the darkness of Konoha? I think that when you became the Hokage, the higher-ups of Konoha made a lot of trouble for you."

Ryoha had always been very puzzled. How could a father not love his child? Did Minato not know that Naruto had lost him? With Konoha's fear of Minato and the fact that Naruto was Kyubi's jinchuuriki, he should be worried that Naruto would become more terrifying when he grew up. The villagers' treatment of him would worsen.

Was it just because Jiraya said that Naruto was the child of prophecy? That was too funny. He did not believe that Minato was a person who believed in fate.

"I was the only one who could protect the village at that time." Minato's face finally changed. Obviously, he had already guessed that his son was treated badly by the villagers.

"What about the Third Hokage?" Ryoha asked, puzzled.

"Him? Sarutobi-sama was old. Even if he sacrificed his life, he would not be able to seal the Kyubi. Rather than letting him die for nothing, it would be better for me to do it in advance, and at that time, there was no time to think so much."

"If I don't seal the Kyubi, then the village will be finished. There is also Madara. If I don't seal the Kyubi completely, Madara will control him again."

Minato also did not want his child to die, but he had no choice at that time.

"Could it be that in your heart, the village is not as important as your own family and child?" Ryoha understood. The Third did not use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal at that time. It was only used after Minato's death, and it was left behind in the Scroll of Seals. The Third Hokage must have learned it from the scroll. At the time of the Kyubi's rampage, the Third really didn't have the ability to seal the tailed beast even if he sacrificed his life.

"No, it's because I care about my family that I want to seal the Kyubi. Naruto was not born in a war era. No matter whether he is really the child of prophecy or not, as a father, I can't protect him for a lifetime."

"At that time, the higher-ups of Konoha were very afraid of me. I have always suspected that the death of the Eight Colors of Konoha was not so simple. The higher-ups of Konoha are likely behind the scenes. In other words, even if I didn't die that time, I would be killed by their conspiracy one day."

"Family is always the most important thing in my heart. The second is Konoha. At that time, there was only one way to save Naruto and Konoha. That is to seal the Kyubi in Naruto's body. As long as the Third Hokage is still alive, Naruto will be fine. No matter how unhappy he is, nothing will happen to him."

"Moreover, Naruto, who got the Kyubi sealed inside his body, will have a good future as long as he masters all the power of the Kyubi and then used the powers as a stepping stone for him to step on the road of the strong. Although the risk is very high, the harvest is also massive."

Sure enough, there was no father who didn't love their children. It was just that at that time, Minato couldn't think too much about it. Kushina was already very weak and could even die at any time.

There was the Kyubi in front of him, and Madara was in his back. In addition, there were also Konoha's higher-ups in the dark. What could he do? In an instant, he could only think of such a way to protect Naruto. He also paved the future path for Naruto and also preserved Konoha. He managed to hit two birds with one stone.

"It turned out that you had planned it long ago. That's right, no matter how much the Third Hokage compromised, he would not let Naruto die so easily. At most, he would live a miserable life and be discriminated against."

"Without your protection, not only would he be fine, but he would also have the power of the Kyubi. The Third Hokage would at least live for ten more years. When Naruto grows up, he won't die so easily."

"Moreover, he did not have your protection since he was a baby. He was the son of the noble Fourth Hokage, but he had experienced hardships and setbacks since he was a child. His character was tempered very well, and he would not fall to the temptation of the Kyubi's power. Am I right?"

Ryoha admired the Fourth Hokage very much. Not only was this person powerful, but he was also talented, and his perception was outstanding. He was also very intelligent. If he were born in Sarutobi's era, then he would be the Third Hokage instead of that monkey geezer.

"You can also say that, but the gap between Naruto and you is really big. To be honest, this is the first time I have heard of such a monstrous existence. I don't know if your appearance is due to luck or something."

Minato and Ryoha were like old friends for many years, and there was no confrontation.

"It's a pity that you died early. Otherwise, you and I might become good friends. I think you don't have much time left. My promise won't change. Since I promised the Kyubi, I must fulfill it. I learned how to use the Hiraishin from the sealed scroll you left behind."

"Although you didn't teach me directly, if you didn't leave this technique behind, I don't think I would be able to learn it. All I can do is let Kyubi out, and your son won't be as weak as Kushina, nor will the Kyubi cause any damage to Naruto."

Purple and red chakra appeared on Ryoha's body, and the shape of Susanoo gradually appeared. When Ryoha was in the Mangekyo phase, he was able to use the complete Susanoo that the Eternal Mangekyo could only use, and now after opening the Eye of Eradication, his Susanoo turned from purple-black to purple and red color.

"I only have one chance to attack, and it can also be said that I only have one chance to seal the Kyubi again. As long as I attack you, even if I stop you, I will lose the chance to help Naruto strengthen the seal again. So no matter what, I can't stop you. How about this, didn't you learn Hiraishin no Jutsu from me?"

"You can use Hiraishin no Jutsu to compete with me. Let's see who is stronger. Since you are a person who keeps his promise, then I will bet with you. "

"Why should I bet with you? You don't seem to have anything to bet. If you are still alive, maybe I will bet with you. Unfortunately, you are dead now. I don't need to bet with a dead person." Ryoha looked at Minato with a little amusement.

"Since I dare to say that, of course, I have something to bet. If I win, you give up the idea of releasing the Kyubi. If I lose, I will give you the third stage of the Hiraishin. How about that?" Minato just threw an exciting proposal, and no one in the world could refuse such a temptation.
