Kirito found himself standing alone with his resurrected father. The air was thick with emotion as father and son faced each other for the first time.
Kirito before even talking to Minato, explains the situation the entire shinobi war was in and also his own identity as an otherworldly traveller.
"Son" Minato after both of them were quiet for some time finally said, the word was foreign to Kirito now, he had parents in his previous life but not for long, and here too, he just grew up all alone.
Kirito couldn't contain the emotions welling up inside him. He hesitated for a moment before rushing into Minato's arms. The warmth of the embrace was both comforting and surreal.
'Fuck if the reader calls him Gay, he just really wanted to,' He can act all sigma all day around but everyone needs emotional support, it's strange how Kirito never met his father in person before but after seeing him just once knew that he was weak in front of him and he won't judge.
Not like he was acting weak, longing for parents is not weak, it is humane, longing for someone you can call your own is a privilege that only a few have in this god-forsaken world.
Naruto is always there but he can't be like this in front of Naruto, Kirito always acts like Naruto's emotional pillar and support, like a strong and reliable brother.
Only in front of Minato, that he can just let go and relax. He doesn't want anyone to carry his burden but having someone who he can tell his life to is always a nice thing.
"I never got a message from you or mom like you left one of Naruto, give" Kirito release Minato already feeling shy about acting on his impulses and changed the conversation immediately.
Minato was taken aback a little but then smiled affectionately.
"We didn't have many chakras left to leave a chakra in print on you, I am even surprised that you know about it," Minato said, looking at his son, he could feel the power his body had, a Kage's intuition can't go wrong, his son was strong, even strong than him, Minato was sure of it.
"By the way, how did you bring me back to life, I was in the Shinigami's belly," Minato asked, couldn't comprehend what his son just did, it's almost impossible to take out a soul from that devil's stomach.
"Well, I couldn't let Naruto have all the fun of having his parents around, could I?" Kirito winked.
Minato's eyes twinkled with amusement. His son not only looked like him but also had a little bit of his own personality.
"I guess not. But seriously, I'm proud of the man you've become. we have been watching over you, you know." Minato said but Kirito was surprised, how did he watch over me, but then he thought about what word Minato used, 'WE' maybe he was talking about Kushina, she was free and could spy on the land of the living.
"I always felt like there was someone looking out for me," Kirito said but he wasn't talking about Kushina or Minato, he thought about his system and remembered what the system is called,
"Minato Template," intentionally or not, he felt that his father was there.
Minato's expression turned more serious.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you and Naruto. But I want you to know that your mother and I love you both more than anything." Minato sounded sorry and remorseful, guilt was visible in his eyes but he didn't look away, and always faced the problem head-on, Kirito could see where he got that attitude from.
Kirito nodded, a sense of closure washing over him.
"I know, Dad. And now, we have a chance to make up for lost time. And soon we can even get back to the village and meet Naruto," Kirito felt a little guilty as Naruto was not here, and he was hoarding all of Minato's time.
The father and son spent some quiet moments together, sharing stories and catching up on the years they had missed. Minato listened with pride as Kirito recounted his adventures and accomplishments, and Kirito hung on every word as Minato shared tales from his own past.
In that moment, time seemed to stand still as the bond between father and son strengthened.
Other Hokage were still taking themselves outside, Sarutobi also took his time explaining what happened after the deaths of the first and second Hokage.
Kirito left a clone there to explain the current problem to them in detail and why he bought them back.
"Alright then, Hokages of the past, what you guys say, wanna see the leaf which you left all that time ago," I grim as all the four Hokage got ready to get aback to the village. It was finally time to start the war.
