Naruto Is the Fourth Hokage's Son!
In the crowd.
The voices gradually grew louder.
Iruka Umino's words were so outrageous at this moment!
No one present would be swayed by Iruka Umino's words, nor would they be lenient or forgiving just because Naruto Uzumaki was a child!
Child?
What child?
A twelve-year-old graduate is already a ninja!
"Iruka, don't forget."
Someone stepped forward from the crowd and reminded Iruka Umino not to forget something, "Your parents died in the Nine Tails Riot twelve years ago..."
"..."
Naruto Uzumaki's expression fell again.
"I have never forgotten!"
Iruka Umino suddenly stood up and confronted the ninja who had spoken. His voice was firm and powerful as he gritted his teeth and admitted his mistake.
"Because I, like you, once harbored resentment towards this child. As his teacher, I haven't shown him enough care, which is why this happened today!"
"Everyone hates Naruto..."
"Everyone is bullying Naruto..."
Iruka Umino stood beside Naruto Uzumaki, clenching his fists, his head bowed. "But if it weren't for everyone's hatred and insults, if it weren't for everyone's bullying and humiliation, none of this would have happened..."
"All of this..."
"It was our fault to begin with!"
"Everyone is bullying this child, driving Naruto to a mental breakdown, forcing Naruto to lose himself. We, who are the ones who fear and hate the Nine-Tails the most, are forcing Naruto to become the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox we dread the most!"
Yes!
This is their fault!
They are the ones who gave this child a difficult life!
They are the culprits who caused all this, so how can they hate this child at this time? This child is the most innocent one!
"That..."
"Iruka Sensei... that's not how it is..."
Naruto Uzumaki quickly grabbed Iruka Umino's arm, trying to persuade his teacher to calm down, because he knew the truth behind the Nine-Tails' rampage.
Actually...
It stemmed from his hatred for his father Minato Namikaze.
He was seduced by the Nine-Tails Chakra because he hated his father for making him live this kind of life, not because of the villagers...
"Your leg is injured."
Shirou Emiya's voice suddenly interrupted Naruto Uzumaki as he looked at the wound on Iruka Umino's leg.
"Iruka".
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately noticed Iruka Umino's leg injury and quickly changed the subject, asking in a deep voice, "What happened?"
That wound...
It clearly looks like a wound caused by a sharp blade.
The entire Hidden Konoha Village is in turmoil tonight due to the Nine-Tails' rampage. How did Iruka Umino suddenly suffer a leg injury?
"It's Mizuki Sensei from the village."
Iruka Umino's expression immediately turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Mizuki and Orochimaru's subordinates have colluded. I discovered their plot and they are hunting me down!"
"!!!"
All the Konoha ninja present instinctively began searching for Mizuki.
"No... no..."
Mizuki noticed the gazes directed at him and hurriedly waved his hands, trying to explain. He forced a fawning smile onto his face and stammered, trying to smear Naruto: "It was... that brat... it was that brat Naruto himself..."
"It's not Naruto!"
Iruka Umino immediately retorted loudly, "This is a conspiracy between you and Orochimaru's subordinates! You know Naruto is the child of the Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki, and you want to use Naruto's Uzumaki Bloodline to obtain the Uzumaki Clan's treasures..."
"No..."
A bitter expression returned to Mizuki's face.
"Etc..."
"What did Iruka just say?"
An uproar immediately broke out among the Konoha ninja.
Everyone present subconsciously started whispering to the people around them, as if they had misheard.
These Konoha ninjas didn't dwell on any treasures that were irrelevant to them; they only heard Iruka Umino mention Naruto Uzumaki's background!
"Naruto Uzumaki..."
"Is he the son of the Fourth Hokage?"
"How is that possible!"
"How could he be the Fourth Hokage's child?!"
The Konoha ninjas were filled with shock and began discussing this secret that had been kept hidden from the village. They had no idea that Naruto Uzumaki was the Fourth Hokage's child!
Indeed...
It's not important that Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the Fourth Hokage.
The important thing is...
No matter what, this child is the son of a hero!
When Obito Uchiha unleashed the Nine-Tails to wreak havoc, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his and his wife's lives to seal the Nine-Tails!
But...
Sacrificing the couple alone wasn't enough...
They even made their son, Naruto Uzumaki, a victim!
This...
This is making us somewhat uneasy!
Every ninja present who had ever insulted Naruto Uzumaki instinctively raised their hands to their heads, feeling remorse for what they had done in the past!
Although everyone still fears and loathes the Nine-Tails, they have to admit that they cannot do such a thing to the son of a hero who protected the village!
No...
What on earth is going on in the village?!
The hero's son is actually the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that everyone hates the most?
"Us..."
"What are you all doing..."
A Konoha ninja, his eyes slightly white, looked at the little boy standing next to Iruka Umino and questioned his former self with a trembling voice.
However...
Many more people are at a loss!
Because they didn't know how to face Naruto Uzumaki!
Jiraiya frowned, his expression subtly complicated. He knew that these people were only willing to acknowledge Naruto Uzumaki because of the child's background.
But...
Even if they feel guilty for a while, they can never eliminate their fear and hatred of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Only Naruto Uzumaki's own efforts can truly change everything.
At least...
Let the world see...
Naruto Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki, is not a disaster.
Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is an excellent ninja like his father, and a hero who can protect everyone.
The place was bustling with noise.
Many of the Konoha ninjas looked pale.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped their noise, waved his hand to quiet the crowd, and his gaze fell on Mizuki.
Compared to Naruto Uzumaki's past being revealed...
Sarutobi Hiruzen was more worried about Orochimaru's conspiracy. Mizuki and Orochimaru's subordinates wanted to use Naruto to steal the Uzumaki Clan's treasure. What exactly did they want to do with the treasure?
"No..."
"That's not how it works..."
"We didn't find the treasure..."
Mizuki quickly waved his hand, forcing a trembling, awkward smile, "I just told Naruto about my past, and the Nine-Tails inside Naruto started going berserk. We haven't even had time to find that treasure yet..."
"That treasure has already been taken away!"
Iruka Umino looked somewhat speechless, as if he didn't quite understand why Mizuki hadn't grasped the situation. "Orochimaru's subordinate has already taken that treasure!"
As for Mizuki ...
Mizuki was nothing more than a discarded pawn.
"!!!"
A hint of despair appeared in Mizuki's eyes.
Treasure...
It's already been taken?
Wasn't it said that the treasure was in the Mask Hall of the Uzumaki Clan?
Own
Were you scammed?
You've been scammed!
Iruka Umino could only helplessly remind Mizuki, sighing as he said, "That guy just wants to use you to incite Naruto's emotional breakdown, using the opportunity to create Nine Tails Riot in the village, and then use the Nine-Tails to kill the Lord Hokage, Lady Tsunade, and Lord Jiraiya, making it easier for Orochimaru to invade the village in the future..."
"..."
Mizuki's eyes turned red.
No...
That bastard!
Why did you lie to him?
Does that bastard even know how dangerous it was for him when the Nine-Tails unleashed its power? Does he even know how terrified he was? He actually used him as a sacrifice to trigger the Nine Tails Riot!
Mizuki was both angry and aggrieved, but when his gaze fell upon the eyes of the other Konoha ninjas, he felt a surge of fear and wanted to collapse and retreat...
In...
While some people feel that Mizuki has been unfairly exploited...
However, people were more angry at their fellow villagers for committing the sin of the Nine Tails Riot. Didn't this bastard know how dangerous the Nine Tails Riot was twelve years ago?
Fortunately...
Fortunately, nothing serious happened during the Nine Tails Riot.
"Take him away."
Sarutobi Hiruzen beckoned to the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force ninjas and gave his order, "Torture Mizuki into revealing everything that happened tonight!"
"Besides..."
"The Anbu will search the village immediately!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice turned cold, his hands clenching tightly. "We absolutely cannot let that person who infiltrated the village escape!"
"Yes!"
A group of Anbu Ninja immediately sprang into action upon receiving the order.
Judging from the timeline, that guy shouldn't have gotten very far. Maybe these Anbu can even catch up with him!
Unfortunately...
They could never catch up with him, no matter what.
Because Yakushi Kabuto was hiding in a place where it was absolutely impossible for him to be searched at will.
The Root.
This is Shimura Danzo's territory.
When Yakushi Kabuto arrived at Root, Shimura Danzo didn't seem very happy. It was impossible to be happy about someone he had once wanted to get rid of appearing in front of him.
Certainly.
The Yakushi Kabuto didn't care at all.
He knew that the news he brought would make Shimura Danzo even more unhappy.
"Snort..."
When Shimura Danzo saw Yakushi Kabuto, his anger was practically written all over his face, "You guys caused quite a commotion tonight, almost bringing Konoha a huge problem..."
"It was just a minor mishap."
Yakushi Kabuto sighed with a hint of helplessness, as if success was in the hands of fate and man's will. "If this Nine Tails Riot had gone smoothly, we should have been able to take the opportunity to kill the Third Hokage and the two Legendary Sannin..."
"This can also be considered..."
A smile crept onto Yakushi Kabuto's lips as he adjusted his glasses and mentioned his superior's name.
"A small gift from Lord Orochimaru to Danzo."
