Naruto's Astonishing Origins

"Well, don't get me wrong! I'm not trying to insult or belittle you. You're just underestimating your teammate Naruto's potential! I'm actually praising you!"

Ye Liangnai revealed a playful smile and said, "Naruto's father and mother were no ordinary people; they were both prominent figures in the Shinobi World. Naruto perfectly inherited all the advantages of his parents. If you weren't a member of the Uchiha Clan, you wouldn't even be worthy of being compared to him!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's expression changed drastically!

The three children, including Naruto, were utterly horrified, especially Naruto was the most agitated. He asked, "Do you know who my parents are?! Tell me! I wasn't an orphan before?!"

He was quite excited and thrilled, realizing that he wasn't an orphan and that he actually had parents.

Sasuke Uchiha stared at Naruto in shock, somewhat incredulous. This guy's parents were so extraordinary? How come he'd never heard of them?

"If you want to surpass Itachi Uchiha, with your talent, you'll probably need about three years of hard work! And you'll also need a very good mentor! However, in Konoha, such a mentor doesn't seem to be very common..."

Before Ye Liangnai could finish speaking, Kakashi quickly interrupted her, saying, "Ye Liangnai, don't try to sow discord or mislead people!"

"Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, let's go!"

He was truly afraid. He was genuinely afraid that if Ye Liangnai continued talking, Sasuke would defect, and Naruto would turn against the village.

Ye Liangnai's words are truly terrifying.

But this time, the one who stubbornly refused to leave was not Sasuke Uchiha.

He had already gotten the answer he wanted from what Ye Liangnai hadn't finished saying. Even if the answer was quite cruel.

This time, the one who stubbornly refused to leave was Naruto Uzumaki.

He stared intently at Ye Liangnai and asked, "Tell me, who are my parents! Are they still alive? What kind of people are they, and what are their names!"

"Naruto!!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shouted out.

"Naruto, leave quickly. Don't easily believe that person's words, or I'll never speak to you again!"

Sakura Haruno quickly tried to dissuade him, and then 'threatened' him with her own attraction to Naruto.

But this time...

"That doesn't matter, Sakura, Kakashi-sensei, I really want to know about my parents, please don't stop me!"

Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fists and spoke with utmost seriousness. His eyes revealed a deep loneliness and desolation that made one's heart ache. This was completely different from the carefree and easygoing Naruto from before.

"Naruto, you..."

Hearing this, Sakura Haruno looked at Naruto in utter astonishment, and for some reason, she felt like crying.

"Kakashi-sensei, please let me be willful this once!"

Naruto Uzumaki spoke calmly and seriously. Kakashi wanted to refuse, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

Naruto's current state is truly heartbreaking; he looks like a lone wolf licking its wounds, radiating a profound sense of sorrow.

Are you sure you want to hear this?

Seeing this, Ye Liangnai raised an eyebrow. "After hearing the truth, I'm afraid it's no longer possible for you to stay peacefully in Konoha!"

Even so, do you still want to hear it?

Naruto answered without the slightest hesitation, "Of course!"

"Alright, but don't regret it!" Ye Liangnai gave Naruto an approving look and said, "The man who should have turned evil the most in the original story actually saved the world. I wonder where he will go after being influenced by me now?"

Just as he was about to speak...

A giant Toad carrying two swords suddenly appeared, separating Naruto and Ye Liangnai.

Kimimaro instantly became alert and prepared for battle.

"This is...?"

Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki looked at the giant Toad with some confusion, unsure of what was happening.

"Yo yo yo, the most handsome man in the Shinobi World, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, Lord Jiraiya, has arrived!"

Just then, a voice with a strange accent came, and then a middle-aged man with long silver hair, wearing Forehead Protector with the word "oil" on it and wooden clogs, appeared in front of Naruto Uzumaki and the others.

"Hey, long time no see, White Cold Light!"

The man looked at Ye Liangnai and greeted her as if they were old acquaintances.

Sakura Haruno, upon seeing the man, couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord Jiraiya!"

The newcomer was none other than the Mad Demon Jiraiya!

"I didn't expect you to show up. So it seems you won't let me tell you the truth!"

"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you. Actually, this should have been your task! You're one of Naruto's few remaining family members in this world!"

His words caused a huge uproar among Naruto Uzumaki and his two friends. Sasuke Uchiha Sakura Haruno at Naruto in shock, wondering why people related to Naruto kept appearing.

Even someone as powerful as Ye Liangnai spoke of Naruto's parents with a face full of admiration.

It goes without saying that his parents must be exceptionally outstanding. This already surprised them quite a bit.

And now, Ye Liangnai actually says that Jiraiya Naruto's family?

In their minds, Naruto was just an ordinary orphan, a loser at school. How did Jiraiya end up being associated with Jiraiya?

Who is Jiraiya? He is one of the legendary Sannin, renowned throughout the Shinobi World, holding a high position and being one of the core high-ranking members of Konoha.

"Ye Liangnai, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you intend to wreak havoc on Konoha through this method?"

Just a moment ago, Jiraiya had a joking expression on his face, but after hearing this, he immediately questioned him with a sharp look on his face.

"Is this your inherent responsibility? Besides, do you Konoha High Command dare to do it but not admit it? You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever!"

Ye Liangnai said with a hint of mockery, "Do you think that with Naruto's talent and the wealth left to him by his father, he wouldn't become a strong person? If you don't explain things clearly now, and Naruto develops resistance or even hatred towards Konoha in the future, I think even you will have a lot of headaches!"

"His father was such an amazing man back then, there wasn't a single person in the entire Shinobi World who could compare to him! And you should know very well how high Naruto's future achievements will be, having perfectly inherited his father's excellent genes. Surpassing you and surpassing his father is not a problem!"

"At that time, he alone might be able to bring about the annihilation of Konoha!"

"Hiss!!!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno was alright, only gasping in surprise, but Sasuke Uchiha, while shocked, also felt a strong sense of resentment and unwillingness to accept defeat.

He was born into the Uchiha Clan in the Shinobi World.

Despite his exceptional talent, Ye Liangnai barely gave him a second glance, and when she spoke of the Uchiha Clan, she only praised Itachi Uchiha.
