Before leaving with his parents just after midday, Naruto left several of his shadow clones behind. Despite already possessing incredible power, Naruto could not shake off the need to continue striving to become even stronger. After all, the stronger he became, the more confidence he would have to protect those he loved.
Furthermore, he sent many of his shadow clones in different directions, towards all the other villages.
Even though Minato and Kushina had witnessed everything through the Torii seal, it was very different to see everything with their own eyes.
They seemed like foreigners as they walked with Naruto towards the Senju Clan, shortly after entering the village.
Of course, Kushina insisted that Minato remove his Hokage cloak, to avoid attracting even more attention than they were already attracting.
"Are they Naruto's parents?" someone murmured.
The resemblance was undeniable, however, another individual frowned and questioned: "But... Aren't they too young to be his parents?"
"The woman looks like his older sister..."
Kushina managed to hear all of this. Far from being upset, she smiled proudly. After all, many people commented that she looked like Naruto's older sister, which somehow made her feel good about herself.
She had to admit that she appeared to be even better than before the tragedy that happened 17 years ago.
Upon arrival, a warm welcome awaited Naruto. Over five maids hired by Tsunade waited at the entrance to the clan. However, they were surprised to notice two unknown people next to Naruto.
Of course, some of the older employees watched with a puzzled look, as if trying to remember where they knew these two people from.
Naruto, taking the lead, stepped forward and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Naruto."
"We know," replied the two younger maids, aged between 18 and 20, laughing: "Currently, almost no one in the village doesn't know you, Naruto."
"Well..." Naruto scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.
Even his parents gave a small chuckle to see his reaction.
Soon, Naruto made a gesture as if he were coughing and announced: "Let me introduce them, these two by my side are my parents."
"Your parents?" All five were surprised, as it was common knowledge in the village that Naruto was an orphan.
After a brief conversation, they finally entered the clan.
Looking at the decoration of the place, Naruto couldn't help but show surprise and joy. Everything was perfectly adorned and festive. He knew that Tsunade had put a lot of effort into this in his honor.
"Naruto's here!" Kiba was the first to exclaim when he saw him.
Soon, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Hanabi, and the others noticed his presence but soon realized the loving couple walking hand in hand next to Naruto.
'Can't be, can it?' Hinata, who had seen Naruto's photo album at his home, had a strong impression of his parents and, observing that couple, couldn't help but associate them with Naruto's parents.
Tsunade approached, followed closely by Shizune.
"M-Minato and Kushina?" You could tell the incredulity in her voice. After all, it had been over 17 years since the last time she had seen them.
Regarding the tragedy of 17 years ago with Obito, she was no longer in the village, so she couldn't help at that time.
"Tsunade, you look great." Kushina approached her with a smile.
"You both..." In the face of Kushina's smile, Tsunade still couldn't believe it.
"Well, it's a long story." Kushina gave a small laugh: "In short, Minato's and my chakra was in the Kyuubi's seal, and Naruto managed to bring us back to life thanks to this loophole."
Tsunade was extremely intelligent, she was only confused for a moment before she began to conjecture some possibilities.
However, regardless of the hypothesis, they all seemed hard to execute, causing her to look at Naruto with astonishment and surprise.
"Minato?" Sasuke, who had also appeared along with his Taka team, looked in Minato's direction with a furrowed brow.
Based on what he had heard, it was easy to deduce Minato's identity. Moreover, the fact that the Fourth Hokage's name was Minato was no secret.
'So these are Naruto's parents? He wasn't lying when he said he had a way to bring the dead back to life...' Hope ignited in Sasuke's eyes. If he had doubts before, now he feels more confident.
Karina looked at Kushina with a curious gaze. Perhaps it was due to her lineage, but she felt a sense of closeness when looking in her direction.
The calmest figure in the environment was Konan. Although she didn't know exactly how Naruto did that, she had knowledge, through Nagato, that it was possible to resurrect the dead. The only reason Nagato didn't do this with their childhood friend was that he only learned this ability many years later, and it was too late to use his powers.
However, she picked up crucial information: Naruto's parents' chakra was sealed in the bijuu's seal, which means there was a path. As for how he did it, she was not exactly sure.
While many of Naruto's friends were surprised by this revelation, Tsunade finished the conversation with Minato and Kushina.
Soon, she turned to Naruto and said with a smile: "Well, I know everyone is surprised and curious, but that can wait. Today is a joyful day, we are all gathered to celebrate Naruto's birthday!"
Quickly, the commotion calmed down with Tsunade's words, and in the blink of an eye, everyone started congratulating Naruto, handing him birthday gifts.
