The Nine-Tails was successfully resealed.
Naruto became a Jinchūriki without complications.
But everything had changed from the original course of events.
Namikaze Minato did not seal half of the Nine-Tails' chakra within himself and did not become a Jinchūriki.
Uzumaki Miyuki became the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki once again.
If nothing else happened, Naruto's future would be completely different now.
After all, he was no longer fatherless—both his parents were still alive.
Sora released the Four Violet Flames Formation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed over immediately and saw the unconscious Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Miyuki, as well as the crying Naruto.
"Sora, what's the situation now? Has the Nine-Tails been resealed into Miyuki's body?" Hiruzen asked.
Sora glanced at the unconscious Minato and replied, "The Fourth Hokage was quite heroic. Despite being nearly out of chakra, he desperately managed to seal the Nine-Tails into both the weakened Miyuki and the newborn Naruto. Now Konoha has two Jinchūriki."
Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't care who the Jinchūriki was—he only cared that the Nine-Tails was sealed.
Everyone here was from Konoha, so it didn't matter who carried the burden.
Still, Hiruzen found Sora's tone strange, sensing a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Hiruzen turned to the shinobi behind him. "Immediately take the Fourth Hokage, Miyuki, and Naruto to the temporary medical facility for examination and treatment! Then gather everyone to clean up this mess and begin rescue operations!"
Sora glanced to her left. Her Shadow Clone battle had ended.
After the Shadow Clone disappeared, its memories transferred back to Sora.
Hoshigaki Kisame and Kakuzu were weaker than she had anticipated.
Although the Shadow Clone had half of her chakra, it couldn't compare to her true body. The fight had taken longer than expected, and she needed Uchiha Obito's intervention to defeat her Shadow Clone. Their strength was somewhat lacking.
It seemed the Akatsuki members weren't at their peak strength yet.
...
After Uchiha Obito had left, he found Kakuzu and Hoshigaki Kisame.
He discovered that they had been struggling against one of Sora's Shadow Clones for quite some time without defeating it.
Obito initially wanted to show off his skills to impress them and prove his strength.
He disappeared and used Kamui to suddenly appear behind Sora's Shadow Clone, attempting a sneak attack.
But the Shadow Clone detected Obito with her Observation Haki the moment he emerged from Kamui.
She immediately launched a roundhouse kick, sending Obito flying into the water before he could even touch her.
In the end, the three of them had to work together. Kisame merged with Samehada for the first time, becoming half-shark. Together, they finally managed to defeat Sora's Shadow Clone.
This encounter once again changed Obito's understanding of Sora's abilities.
If a mere Shadow Clone was so difficult to handle, how terrifying must her real body be?
Obito found himself increasingly afraid of Sora.
...
After the Nine-Tails incident, Sora immediately returned to Orochimaru's hideout.
When Kakashi saw her return, he immediately asked, "Sensei, how is everything outside?"
"It's been resolved," Sora replied. "Kakashi, you should join the rescue efforts. Don't stay isolated here."
Kakashi nodded. "Alright, I'll go right away."
Sora then entered another room and found Uzumaki Kushina.
Kushina looked anxious, asking what had happened outside and how Uzumaki Miyuki was doing.
"Don't worry, Miyuki is fine," Sora assured her.
She briefly explained the situation to Kushina.
Hearing that Miyuki was safe, Kushina sighed with relief. "I was terrified. I never expected someone would attack Miyuki and release the Nine-Tails. Thankfully, everything turned out okay."
Sora said to Kushina, "You can rest peacefully here now. I'll go outside and help with the cleanup efforts."
Kushina, now completely relaxed, smiled. "Yes, please do."
After Sora left Orochimaru's hideout, her system chimed with a notification.
[Host witnessed the Nine-Tails attack and is rewarded with 20,000 witness points.
Host changed the established fate of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Miyuki and is additionally rewarded with 50,000 witness points.
Host altered the life trajectory of the important figure Uzumaki Naruto and is additionally rewarded with 50,000 witness points.
This is a major event in the shinobi world. Host witnessed the completion of the event, participated in and changed its trajectory to a certain extent, and triggered one of three additional rewards.]
Sora's eyes widened.
After all these years, the one-of-three rewards had finally appeared again.
When the system first activated years ago, there was a similar reward, allowing Sora to obtain the complete form of Thunder Breathing.
It was thanks to the complete Thunder Breathing technique that Sora had been able to reach her current position step by step.
However, choosing one of three rewards could be either fortunate or unfortunate.
It still depended on luck.
[In view of the upcoming birth of the Host's child, one of the rewards has been replaced.
Replacement Reward 1: Power of Inheritance—all talents and abilities that Host currently possesses or will acquire in the future, children with Host's bloodline will have a chance to inherit them.
Reward 2: Choose two additional abilities from among all currently known Mangekyō Sharingan eye techniques.
Reward 3: Awakening of Wood Style Kekkei Genkai]
Sora pressed her lips together.
Adding two eye techniques would be nice. If she chose this reward, she could obtain Uchiha Obito's Kamui or Uchiha Itachi's powerful genjutsu, Tsukuyomi.
But compared to the Power of Inheritance, those abilities seemed weak!
With this inheritance power, future Uzumaki children could grow to be as strong as her, or even surpass her.
"I choose Reward One!"
[Reward selection completed. When the Host's child is born, the Power of Inheritance will activate on the Host's child.]
Sora took a deep breath. The greatest gain from this Nine-Tails incident was the Power of Inheritance.
The witness point rewards were also substantial.
Sora already had 86,000 witness points, and with these additional 120,000 points, she now had a total of 206,000 witness points.
She was only 44,000 points short of the 250,000 needed to unlock the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
But something struck Sora as strange.
Why did the system still refer to Naruto as "Uzumaki Naruto"? Now that Namikaze Minato was still alive, shouldn't he be called "Namikaze Naruto"?
...
Seven days had passed since the Nine-Tails attack.
During this period, Sora hadn't seen Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Miyuki, or Naruto.
Today, an ANBU member informed Sora that her presence was requested at the Hokage Tower.
Upon arriving at the office, Sora found not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura, but also all the ninja clan leaders of Konoha, both major and minor.
Only Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku were missing.
