Chapter 36: Chapter 35: Meeting Minato and Kushina(2)
Naruto continued drawing seals inside his mind-space for another 2 hours before finally stopping.
Just as the seals were finished, an ethereal light shone upon Minato and Kushina connecting their base chakra to Nine Tails and Naruto's Chakra.
During this period, Kushina tried speaking but saw her son busy drawing seals which was even complicated for her so she kept observing her.
She did notice others and one particular woman, very similar to Minato but didn't interact with them, she only had little time so she decided just to observe her son.
"Finally it's finished." Just as Naruto was about to introduce the guests to his parents and vice versa, another guest appeared in the mind-space which alerted everyone. Minato and Kushina were freed from their stunned state so they also showed surprise.
Everyone here knows that no one can intrude mind-space like this so everyone assumed a vigilant stance.
The figure had a short stature, with blue eyes and black hair tied into twin ponytails wearing a white mini-dress with a blue ribbon around her collar and another tied around her waist, back and arms. The girl also wore a pair of white gloves and was barefoot.
Just as she arrived, she jumped towards Naruto. Everyone wanted to attack at that moment and even Hisoka also almost teleported to Naruto's side but the next scene made them stop.
The girl jumped into Naruto's arms and started giggling like a little girl.
"Hey Kate, have you finished the assimilation?" Naruto also had a smile as he hugged the little girl and started walking towards others.
"Yes Naruto, every data has been processed and included in the model."
"Woah! Quite fast. Even the fastest GPUs were not this fast, is it because of chakra, I never knew the processors I designed using fuinjutsu could surpass them."
"Of course, that's the case. Now praise me and bask in my glory for I shall be your all-knowledgeable and ultimate partner, Kate."
Hearing this Naruto chuckled. While he was walking, another change occurred in the mind-space.
The scene changed to grasslands and it kept on changing in other directions. In one direction a beach appeared followed by a vast ocean. In another direction, mountains appeared while dense forest appeared in the third and desert in the fourth direction. A vast river flowed from the mountains towards the forest and went to the ocean via grasslands. Naruto also didn't forget to add an oasis in the desert.
This scene shocked everyone, even Kushina, she has been to her mind-scape and it never was this pleasant. But they all understood this might be what the seals did, including the light that shone on Minato and Kushina. They felt that after that, they would not dissipate.
Hinata already knew everything but even she was surprised by the little girl, seeing her bountiful chest wasn't so little as she thought and there was a dangerous glint in her eyes ready to tear apart that girl but she restrained herself.
Everyone followed Naruto and arrived at a cottage near the river which was surrounded by a beautiful flower field.
Everyone was in awe of this place, a perfect place to live. When they went inside, they saw a well-furnished living room revolving around modern decor. Only Naruto had this kind of Decor in his Mansion, so Minato and Kushina were also surprised by the furnishing.
Naruto occupied a sofa and everyone sat around him. Hinata sat on one of his sides while Kushina on the other, Minato wanted to sit in front of him but was blocked by another woman with a stern gaze who could only smile wryly. He always felt a strange connection with her. He and Karin then occupied the remaining seats and Kate directly jumped into Naruto's lap to the displeasure of Hinata.
"Well, since everyone is seated, I guess we are in for a question-and-answer session here. Before that, introductions are in order. Everyone, this is Kate, an Artificial Intelligence I created using fuinjutsu, don't treat her like some machine, she has emotions and is connected to the mind, is highly intelligent and her processing speed far surpasses that of an intelligent human.
And yes since she is connected to me, she can enter the mind-space and will usually stay here but she will soon be able to appear outside via projections. "
Everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped literally. It was quite a comical scene. Even Karin who is least aware of the things happening was stunned.
What do you mean by Artificial Intelligence? It has emotions, you created it. Isn't it just like creating life? Only the body is missing, aren't you god by doing this?
Hisoka and Minato truly didn't know what to say, their grandson and son had truly surpassed the limits of humanity.
Kushina was even more shocked, 'My son created intelligence, using fuinjutsu, and I who proclaimed to be fuinjutsu grandmaster, I only helped in Konoha barriers. Is the difference between us so huge? Even the script is different, not the traditional Kanji. At least I have something to learn when I am here, at least my Naruto created seals to sustain me so that we don't dissipate. How thoughtful of him. I will improve my fuinjutsu and help my son from here, dattebane.'
While Kushina was deciding to improve her skills, Hinata had another dilemma. She did hear about artificial intelligence but never gave enough thought to it thinking it was Naruto's just another project.
"Say Kate-chan, what is your relationship with Naruto-kun." Naruto felt a shiver run down his spine. Hinata's tone was neutral but everyone could feel the iciness in the voice. Naruto was particularly uneasy. Hinata is usually a sweet girl. A perfect girlfriend, wife and friend. Strong, independent, caring, understanding, spoils you, each of these qualities make Hinata a perfect partner for him. But there is another aspect to her. That is her possessiveness. Now, she isn't some crazy girl who overdoes things but according to her, the only one who can gaze at her with even a little lust is Naruto rest deserve to die and even Naruto agrees with this but the same goes for the other side. Although she hasn't crossed the line her deterrence is quite strong for girls who want to approach Naruto, some even have Trauma and no one knows who did that.
Hinata's annoyance can also be felt when she addresses Naruto with Kun. She usually uses words like Naruto, Naru, honey, darling etc. But when she says Naruto-Kun, someone must suffer. This time however Kate's answer saved her.
"Well, he is like my father since he created and gave birth to me. For me, he is my everything."
'Father huh, well it's true since Naruto did create her and she also assumed the form of a little girl, but that chest... I will have to talk to her. But didn't that make me her mother, now that is good, I will have to take care of her since she has emotions and all.' Hinata suddenly had a smile, quite bright. But Naruto didn't dwell on that and continued his explanation.
"Well, let's move on. This is Hinata Hyuga, my current girlfriend and future wife." Kushina had a bright smile on her face, even Minato had one. Both were proud of their son for finding such a beautiful girl to be his girlfriend and based on their closeness, their relationship must be quite strong. Kushina has already planned to have a girl talk with Hinata later.
"This is Karin Uzumaki. She is one of the Uzumaki clan survivors, from Kusagakure, she didn't have a good experience there and was being exploited for her Uzumaki lineage so I adopted her as my sister here in Konoha."
Everyone here sympathized with Karin and Kushina even more due to her own Uzumaki lineage.
"Moving on, this here is Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage and my father. During the nine tails rebellion when Mother just birthed me, an intruder released the Nine-Tails from her and then he died along with Mother and sealed half of Nine Tails inside me." There was a hint of coldness in Naruto's voice which was noticed by everyone but they understood. Becoming a jinchuriki is not good and often comes with alienation and discrimination from the villagers.
Minatao also had an apologetic expression and wanted to intrude before Kushina punched him and hugged Naruto. Seeing this, Minato only became more apologetic. Both Kushina and Minato noticed how Naruto mentioned him being the fourth Hokage before being his father and the implications were quite clear. They believed Naruto resented Minato for sealing the Nine-Tails inside him which means Naruto didn't have a good life as a jinchuriki.
"Well, this is Kushina Uzumaki, my mother. She was the previous Jinchuriki of Konoha."
"And the last one is quite special. Her name is Namikaze Hisoka, she is my grandmother. Yes father, she is your mother, I don't know how, but she became the victim of time dilation, where only three years have passed for her and more than three decades have passed in the real world. She came to find you in Konoha and heard about you becoming the fourth Hokage and even died."
