"Hmph!" Kushina snorted coldly and then released her grip.

"Heh, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, you worked so hard to seal me inside your own child's body, hoping he would become a great hero. But now, it seems you were both stupid enough to do so!" The Nine-Tailed Fox lay there, suddenly feeling a lot of its chakra dissipating. It had always resented Namikaze Minato for sacrificing himself along with it, but when it thought about how Minato originally wanted his own son to live a good life as a hero, only to have him mistreated by Konoha in the end, the Nine-Tailed Fox felt somewhat satisfied. That was karma.

"We can't always be with Naruto, so we can only prepare a birthday gift for him in advance. And even though the villagers of Konoha hate Naruto so much, he eventually made some good friends!" Namikaze Minato didn't show any signs of anger. Instead, he smiled.

"Our time is running out. Originally, we left this chakra behind to help you when you took the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra, but now it seems that won't be possible!" Kushina was feeling quite low. It had been so difficult to finally see Naruto grow up, but now they had to part ways again.

"Uncle Minato, Aunt Kushina, don't be so sad. I've already planned everything for you. You can accompany Naruto with peace of mind in the future!" Sakura had known about the situation of the Fourth Hokage and his wife for a long time, so she wouldn't just pull them out to meet Naruto and be done with it. The real work was yet to come.

"But Uncle Minato and Aunt Kushina only sealed a small amount of their chakra inside Naruto's body. In a little while, the chakra will dissipate!" Kushina said helplessly. If there were any other options, they would have wanted to stay by Naruto's side forever. But when she was extracted from the Nine-Tailed Fox, she was destined to die, and Minato didn't want to live on, so he used the Reaper Death Seal to seal away the Yin half of the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra, sacrificing himself in the process. In the end, all they could do was seal away the last remaining bit of chakra, waiting for Naruto to grow up and see him one day.

"I have a mental space. Later, I'll summon Uncle Minato and Aunt Kushina's souls back from the Pure Land and then connect Naruto's seal to my mental space. Before they are completely resurrected, Uncle Minato and Aunt Kushina can stay temporarily in my mental space. There, they don't have to worry about their souls being recalled by the Pure Land, and they can communicate with Naruto to their heart's content!" Sakura directly spoke of her plan. In the mental space, there was also Uchiha Mikoto, who was Kushina's best friend. The two of them wouldn't have to worry about being too bored. They could chat or fight, it didn't matter.

"Summon souls back from the Pure Land? Is that really possible?" Kushina was a little excited. If it were really possible, wouldn't that mean they could stay by Naruto's side for a long time?!

"Well, Sakura, my soul probably won't work!" Namikaze Minato's eyes flashed with a hint of indiscernible loss. "I used the Reaper Death Seal when I was alive, and my own soul had long been swallowed by the Grim Reaper along with the Yin half of the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra. It's probably impossible to retrieve my soul."

"Uncle Minato, don't be so disappointed. Grim Reaper is just a spirit, and since the soul is in his stomach, things will be easier to handle!" Sakura's expression didn't change at all. "If he can swallow the soul, he can naturally spit it out. We just need to beat him up and make him willingly release the person!"

"In my memory, it seems that there is a way to release the Shiki Fūjin, but it's already recorded in historical books. I haven't learned how to release the seal, I've only heard a little about it!"

Kushina frowned. The Shiki Fūjin technique was meant to be a suicide technique, and Konoha only knew how to use it, not how to release it. Even she only saw it in a history book passed down from her family when she was young. The book only mentioned that there was a way to release the seal, but it didn't describe how to do it.

"I never planned to release the seal!" Sakura's mouth curved into a smile, but for no reason, it made Kakashi and the others feel a chill. "Since he dares to swallow people, we just need to beat him up and make him spit out his own stuff!"

"Beat him up? But that's Grim Reaper! How can we possibly defeat him?" Both Kushina and Minato were stunned when they heard this. Beating Grim Reaper was too crazy an idea!

"Where there's a will, there's a way!" Sakura didn't think it was difficult. "And this Grim Reaper is just a powerful undead creature. Undead creatures can only obey me in my presence!"

The Soul Gem could control all undead creatures, and although Hokage's Grim Reaper was powerful, it couldn't change the nature of undead creatures. As long as Sakura was willing, Grim Reaper would have no power to resist in this mental space.

"How is that possible?" Kushina was the first to react, not believing that Grim Reaper, a god, could be countered by humans.

"Aunt Kushina will know in a moment!"

Sakura didn't explain too much, after all, Infinity Stones were something that couldn't be explained clearly.

As she spoke, Sakura connected the sealing space and her own mental space together. At this point, a group of people who had already received the notification had been waiting for a long time in the mental space.

"Kushina..."

As soon as the two groups met, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't control herself and ran over to pull Kushina aside to chat. Uchiha Fugaku sighed helplessly. Since leaving Konoha, Uchiha Mikoto had lost her pressure and was becoming more and more like Kushina in character. Perhaps Uchiha Mikoto's character was supposed to be like this, otherwise she wouldn't have become best friends with Kushina.

"Dad? Mom? Shisui, Izumi? What's going on?!"

Sasuke was confused. Why were these dead people reappearing? Had he hallucinated?

"I'm sorry for deceiving you for so long!"

Itachi's voice sounded behind Sasuke.

"Older brother? No, Uchiha Itachi, why did you kill dad and mom?!"

Sasuke rushed over with an angry expression and forgot to use chakra in his haste.

"Forgive me, Sasuke. This is the last time..."

Itachi smiled and extended his finger, pointing it at Sasuke's forehead. In just a moment, Sasuke stopped and crouched down on the ground, crying with a sad expression.

"Why did you kill everyone? Why?!"
