Early in the morning, Naruto came running over with his parents.
He sent a private message in the chat group: "Big bro! Open the passage for me, I'm up here!"
Seeing Naruto's message, Yang Tao activated the redstone switch, opening the hidden entrance above.
As soon as Naruto came down, he gave Yang Tao a big hug. "Big bro! Thank you for bringing my parents back to life."
Yang Tao looked at Naruto's red, swollen eyes. He probably hadn't slept at all last night.
"No need to thank me! You call me big bro, so of course, I should help you."
He motioned for Naruto's family to sit down.
"Minato, what do you plan to do? Will you talk to the Third Hokage now, or wait until after the Chunin Exam?"
This was Yang Tao testing him. If Minato wanted to meet the Third Hokage right away, it would mean he wanted to stop Yang Tao's plan. But if he was willing to wait until after the exam, that meant he was okay with Yang Tao taking care of Danzo.
Minato understood this as well. After talking with Naruto last night, he had learned a lot. Without hesitation, he said, "After the Chunin Exam. But, my lord, please promise me you won't harm innocent people."
Yang Tao wasn't disappointed by his answer. "No problem. I'll remind Orochimaru to be careful. But war always comes with casualties—don't forget, the Sand Village is involved too."
Minato could only nod. He had lived through wartime himself, and he knew some things were unavoidable.
"Big bro! I have to go take the Chunin Exam now. Can my parents stay here for a while? If they stay at my house, they might get discovered. Last night, Anbu came to keep an eye on me, but my dad used Genjutsu to fool them."
This was one of the reasons Minato agreed so quickly today. His son had been living under constant surveillance. Even the most patient person would be angry.
Yang Tao looked at Naruto and said, "No problem, they can stay here. I'll dig a passage that connects directly to your house. That way, it'll be easier for you to meet up with them."
"Alright, Naruto, your exam is about to start. You should hurry up and go!"
Naruto left reluctantly.
"You two can rest here for now. I'll go dig the tunnel."
With that, Yang Tao took out his tools and started digging. Minato watched him curiously. The diamond drill was so fast that in no time, Yang Tao had already reached the area below Naruto's house.
"Yang Tao, what is this?" Minato pointed at the floating, constantly spinning block on the ground. It was his first time seeing Yang Tao's abilities, and his curiosity was through the roof.
Yang Tao didn't bother explaining and just said, "Just think of it as my special ability. It's hard to explain."
After digging out the tunnel and giving instructions to Minato, his wife, Zabuza, and Haku, Yang Tao went through the hidden portal and returned to his world.
"Finally back! I was gone for days. Home is still the most comfortable place." He stretched and patted a Sunflora that was basking in the sun. Yang Tao took out the food guide from the food mod and started checking it. He felt it was time to unlock a new mod.
"I only need to eat one more type of food, and I'll have tried everything! Let's see what I can unlock this time."
He grabbed the last prepared food and ate it.
After a long time without any updates, a new achievement notification popped up in the bottom left corner.
