The air shrieks as a temporal rift tears open, dumping a small, blond figure into a smoking crater the size of a Tailed Beast Ball. Dust settles to reveal a bewildered six-year-old Naruto, his chakra diminished, staring up at a man who shouldn't exist yet: Minato Namikaze. The Yellow Flash’s sky-blue eyes widen in shock at the child in his arms. Before Naruto can process seeing his deceased father alive, a gruff voice echoes in his mind—Kurama, weakened but sharp. *‘You’re an idiot,’* the fox sneers. Naruto’s vision blurs, a weak chortle escaping his lips before darkness claims him.
