Minato I don't know how to answer this question.
"At the beginning, it was your mother who made the choice to keep you at all costs." Minato pondered for a moment.
Naruto slowly shook his head. "What I want to know more is that you chose Hokage instead of mother, right? Because you are the fourth generation in the village, so the village is more important to you."
Minato Silence.
When Kushina died, Minato did have hesitation - he and Kushina could die, but Konoha could not lose Nine-Tails. This was Minato's bottom line.
This is also the premise of everything.
The final result was that Kushina dragged half of Nine-Tails to death, while Minato saved Naruto and the other half of Nine-Tails.
"Hey, it looks like it's true... then we have nothing to talk about."
Naruto left directly and returned to the room.
"Naruto, who told you all this?" Minato asked.
"This has nothing to do with you."
Naruto slammed the door.
In the next few days, Naruto seemed to become more cold-hearted, which made Minato rarely spend some time with Naruto, trying to explain what happened back then, and trying to repair the relationship between father and son.
But this is no longer important to Naruto.
The point is not what Minato was thinking or for what purpose. The point is that his mother died.
"Hmph, you understand, what happened back then, Kushina had no choice at all, she was dead."
Nine-Tails said to Naruto in a tone full of malice.
Naruto stood in front of the cage, suddenly raised his head and looked at Nine-Tails with a cruel look on his face.
Nine-Tails looked at Naruto like this and laughed, "Very good, that's the expression! Naruto, this is the power of hatred!"
"Shut up."
"Oh, do you hate me? Back then, Kushina took risks to give birth to you. It was Akatsuki's people who separated me from Kushina's body, and also used Mangekyō Sharingan to control me!"
Nine-Tails said with a sinister smile, "I am indeed one of the culprits who killed your mother, but I have never done anything from the beginning to the end, including attacking Konoha. I am being controlled by others."
Naruto was shaking with anger.
Because of this, he didn't know what to do.
Kill Nine-Tails?
This big fox cannot die at all, and in the Nine-Tails' Rampage incident, Nine-Tails himself is a tool man, being fought over and manipulated.
"Don't be so arrogant, you bastard!" Naruto growled.
Nine-Tails sneered, "It's time to make a choice. It's this rotten village that caused all this! This seemingly prosperous place is actually the root cause of all this."
"Third Hokage is very likely to be Dead Demon Consuming Seal. Why doesn't he, who is old and worthless, not take the initiative to die? Why doesn't your father take the initiative to die for Kushina?" Nine-Tails said.
Naruto gritted his teeth.
Nine-Tails continued, "Because Kushina is Jinchuriki, everyone knows that Jinchuriki will definitely die if he loses Tailed Beasts, so recycling Kushina is the most cost-effective decision..."
"Nine-Tails, I'll kill you!"
Boom!
A large number of trees came out, passed through the cage, and wrapped around Nine-Tails crazily.
"Stop being naive, Naruto, you know what I said is right." Nine-Tails did not resist, but looked at Naruto cruelly, "In Kushina's eyes, you are the continuation of her life, and you are the most important person in her life... In her eyes, you are more important than the entire village."
Naruto felt weak all over, and while trembling violently, he turned around and left with hatred.
Nine-Tails lay on the ground and allowed itself to be bound by the woods - in fact, it could easily break free if it wanted to, but it didn't.
Instead, he looked expectantly outside the cage.
In the shadow of the sewer, a vague humanoid outline took shape.
"I finally waited until today. After so many years of secret guidance and training, plus a little influence from Yakumo Kurama, I finally cultivated the dark personality in this kid!!"
Nine-Tails admired his masterpiece with blood-red eyes.
Everyone has a dark side in their heart, and Nine-Tails, who can sense the evil in people's hearts, has long been eyeing the darkness in Naruto's heart.
Over time, 12 years of cultivation finally came to fruition.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the inner world of this brat Naruto that is too weird, I would have succeeded long ago."
Nine-Tails Thinking about it, Naruto's spiritual world is very strange. The dark side sometimes grows inexplicably, and there is also an unspeakable ghost that suppresses the cohesion of the dark personality.
Nine-Tails doesn't understand what Asura Chakra is, but it does sense that something is wrong.
Now, it's finally time to harvest.
"Hehehe, Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, then Naruto Uzumaki... three generations of Jinchuriki, finally one was hacked by me!" Nine-Tails laughed loudly.
Its majestic and powerful Tailed Beasts was actually sealed into three human bodies in a row, which was a great shame and humiliation.
This situation will soon turn around, and it will control Naruto, who has been corrupted and controlled by the dark personality.
outside world.
There is an undercurrent.
To be more precise, it was Naruto who was restless. He was walking on the busy street, watching the people coming and going with a cold expression on his face.
"This is the village that was continued after my mother sacrificed herself. This is the village that Hokages must protect at the expense of their loved ones... I want to prove that everything in front of me is not worthy of her sacrifice!"
Naruto gritted his teeth secretly.
All the accumulated dissatisfaction burst out at this moment.
In the dead of night.
Naruto was practicing on the training ground and didn't stop until a figure appeared.
"I've been waiting for you... teacher." Naruto said in a deep voice.
"What's the matter?"
"Among Akatsuki, Madara Uchiha must be your companion, the guy who killed my mother." Naruto said.
"Well, I thought why were you so serious... Strictly speaking, he is just my partner, and we have a cooperative relationship." Xu tilted his head and said.
Naruto said slowly, "Then, if I want to kill him, teacher, you probably won't stop me, right?"
"Of course not, that's your freedom. As long as you are strong enough, I won't care if you kill Nagato." Xu shook his head and spoke, looking indifferent the whole time.
Naruto nodded. "Only strength will not let me down... Then I will take it as your promise. In this case, I decided to join Akatsuki. My strength is definitely enough."
"Join Akatsuki? Our organization launched an operation against Tailed Beasts, and the Nine-Tails in your body is also our target. As Jinchuriki, you betrayed Konoha and joined us. Have you really decided?" Xu asked.
Naruto secretly gritted his teeth. "This is not important at all, I only care about strength! My Wood Release Bloodline Limit still has more room to dig, and I need to get stronger strength from you, teacher!"
As long as you can kill Madara Uchiha, everything will be worth it.
At this time, Nine-Tails shouted in shock and anger, "Kid, are you crazy?! There are Nagato, Madara and your teacher in Akatsuki. If you join this organization, you are simply seeking death!"
"Hmph, what should I do? I don't need you stupid fox to tell me. You were manipulated by Madara at will. You are simply an ugly reptile. I have no future if I listen to you."
In the mental space, Naruto said coldly.
Nine-Tails was furious and felt even more panicked. "Do you think your teacher will protect you? Don't be naive. Even if he is really Hashirama Senju, there has definitely been a major change in his will. You are very likely to be one of his hunting targets! He must have ulterior secrets in training you!"
"Is this important? I want to get close to Madara Uchiha and kill him. This goal is the most important."
"Even if you really kill Madara, then what? How will you face the other people in Akatsuki?"
"Hmph, when I kill Madara Uchiha, there are not many people in Akatsuki who are my opponents. When the time comes, I will just take advantage of the situation and kill all the others." Naruto said coldly.
Nine-Tails stopped talking.
This battle plan is... very good, very powerful, and seems logically impeccable.
"But are you sure you can kill Madara Uchiha?"
"Of course, I'm only 12 years old. With my talents, even if I can't kill you now, I will definitely be able to kill you in the future!"
Naruto showed strong self-confidence, which is the confidence brought by strength, which made Nine-Tails not know what to say.
The two stopped talking to each other.
"Have you agreed? That fox will definitely stop you. It knows that Akatsuki will not be friendly to it." Xu asked.
Naruto nodded. "We have already negotiated. My will is the main one and I have the final say!"
"Very good, I will talk to the leader. As long as you can leave Konoha alive, our organization will accept you." Xu said, "If you want to break free from the original shackles, just go for it."
Xu's body slowly merged into the ground and disappeared.
Naruto stood there for a long time, like a piece of wood.
"It's time to take action. Once I leave the village without authorization, I will be stopped and hunted down... I still lack a few tools that I can barely use."
Naruto went straight to a place.
Konoha Prison.
When looking for a tool that is easy to use and can be sacrificed at will, all Naruto can think of is prison.
Easily avoiding the gatekeeper ninja, Naruto used a spell to open the barrier, sneaked in, and observed the criminals in the prison.
"These guys are too weak, so we can only find those two guys."
Naruto came to the deepest criminal area of the prison and stood in front of two burly men.
"Ah, I'm hungry again, brother, I haven't eaten for half an hour."
"Yeah, the village never gives us enough food in one go. It's very bad."
The two brothers each said one sentence, and it seemed that their brains were not very easy to use.
Naruto came, and the two of them lay on the ground blankly, staring at Naruto.
"I found you, the legendary White-Eyed Brothers, Wind God and Thunder God!"
Naruto recalled the information about these two people.
Wind God and Thunder God are the younger brothers of Tsunade. In Third Shinobi World War, they killed their companions in order to snatch their food.
These two people once attacked Ninja Academy. According to rumors from the elders in the village, these two people seemed to be scared to death by the ten-year-old Genitsu.
These two men were immensely powerful, rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and their strength exceeded that of most jounin. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were elite jounin who were not very smart.
"Wind God Thunder God, I need your power. In return, I will give you enough food."
Naruto directly took out a scroll and slapped it with one palm. A large amount of food was channeled out and piled up on the ground.
"Brother, there's a lot of food."
"That's right, brother, why don't you kill this man and grab all the food?"
The two of them immediately got up, tore open the iron fence with a slight push of their hands, picked up the food on the ground and ate it wildly.
Naruto said, "I am the son of Hokage. I have plenty of money. Follow me and you will get endless food and you will be full at every meal."
Wind God Thunder God nodded while eating crazily.
The reason why they stay here is not because they are too weak to escape, but because Konoha can provide them with stable food.
Of course, it's definitely not enough to eat every meal.
Naruto showed a satisfied look.
At this moment, from a prison nearby, a voice came out from behind the closed iron door. "Hokage's son, Naruto Uzumaki, right? Take me with you! I also have great strength and can help you."
"I don't accept waste." Naruto said.
"Waste? The power I, Mizuki, has is beyond your imagination! After all, I am the one who was favored and deceived by that man - Shiranui Genitsu. How can ordinary people be treated like this?"
"Mizuki...?" Naruto thought.
He didn't know much about Mizuki, but he vaguely remembered that this guy seemed to be Ninja Academy's teacher, but he resigned early.
It turns out that he was caught and sent to prison.
"You know what I'm going to do, and you dare to follow me?" Naruto sneered.
Mizuki's voice was low. "You didn't hesitate to sneak in and contact White-Eyed Brothers. At most, it was just a defection. I am very interested in why you defected, but I want to escape from here and take revenge on this village!"
"Very well, count you in."
Naruto agreed immediately.
As long as it can help him, it has the value of using and discarding.
"When I come back next time, I will take you away with me. You must help me resist the pursuers." Naruto said.
"As long as that man doesn't do it himself, no one can make me afraid." Mizuki responded, with deep resentment in his voice.
Naruto are a little curious about what is going on with this person.
After quietly leaving the prison.
Naruto walked on the quiet road and jumped onto a building, quietly overlooking the village in the night.
This was probably the last time he looked seriously at this place.
Uh-huh!
A figure also jumped up.
"What are you doing here if you don't go back to bed so late, Hinata."
Naruto squatted at the highest point of the building, looking down at Hinata coldly.
"Naruto-kun, don't forget that I have Byakugan. I will watch your actions throughout the whole process." Hinata said.
"So, you still haven't given up on your idea?" Naruto said.
"Yes, I am very willing to participate in leaving the village."
"Hmph, as a branch family member, you probably don't have much value. You won't be able to escape very far before you are killed by the Main Family, but your Byakugan can play a little role."
