Minato Namikaze: It's okay. As long as Naruto could grow up happy and healthy, nothing else mattered!

At that moment, Makoto Ito, out in the real world, grinned...

He had to admire Minato Namikaze's ability to fill in the blanks. He had even come up with a reason why Naruto had not inherited his surname!

He could not imagine what the couple would think once they saw Naruto's current circumstances.

Minato Namikaze: Group Leader, if that's the case, then you must know Naruto, right? And you just said that the two of you were pretty good friends?

Makoto Ito: Yeah, and we often competed for last place together!

Kushina Uzumaki: That's wonderful! That means we'll have plenty of chances to see Naruto in the future!

Minato Namikaze: Yeah, yeah!

Kushina Uzumaki: Group Leader! How has Naruto been doing all these years? Has he been well? Does he have many friends?

Makoto Ito: You can see for yourselves later! As for whether he's doing well, you'll see it with your own eyes soon enough!

Makoto Ito's answer left Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki feeling uneasy...

After all, Makoto Ito had previously said that the person they had been longing to see might not have been doing very well!

Now that the couple had asked Makoto Ito how Naruto was doing, he told them to see for themselves later! What did that mean? Didn't it mean Naruto might not have been living as well as they imagined?

But why would Naruto not be doing well?

He was the Fourth Hokage's child, the hero who had sealed the Nine-Tails! How could he possibly be doing poorly?

And most importantly, the Third Hokage was there! They believed the Third Hokage would certainly take good care of Naruto!

Thus, the couple waited nervously and anxiously, looking forward to seeing Naruto.

Hizashi Hyuga: Group Leader, Group Leader! Do you know Neji Hyuga?

After Minato Namikaze and his wife asked about their child, Hizashi Hyuga could no longer sit still either.

Makoto Ito: I don't know him! But I know of him! He's one grade above me! He's quite famous as a genius, and he's the Top Student of his year!

Hizashi Hyuga: Hmm... Neji! Well done! Just as expected of my son!

Hearing that someone else's child was so outstanding while his own child had to compete with the Group Leader for last place, Minato Namikaze suddenly felt rather depressed.

Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha could no longer suppress the anxiety in their hearts.

Mikoto Uchiha: Group Leader, if that's the case, then you must know Sasuke Uchiha too, right? He's about your age, and he might even be in your class. Do you know Sasuke Uchiha?

Fugaku Uchiha: That's right, Group Leader. Could you tell us about Sasuke?

Makoto Ito: Ah! I know him! He's in the same class as me too!

Mikoto Uchiha: Then could the Group Leader tell us about Sasuke?

Makoto Ito: Sasuke? He's always performed very well, and he's always been the Top Student of our year! It's just that he usually acts all high and mighty, unwilling to talk to anyone, so he doesn't have many friends... And he wears a sour expression all day, like everyone owes him money!

Mikoto Uchiha: Sasuke actually became like that? It hasn't been easy for him. Before that incident, Sasuke was such a cheerful and adorable child!

Fugaku Uchiha: Yes, after going through that incident, it was inevitable that he'd become somewhat withdrawn! It hasn't been easy for him...

Izuna Uchiha: What are you two talking about? What happened? Our Uchiha descendant is the top student of his year! Isn't that a good thing?

Tobirama Senju: Exactly, exactly. You've been rambling on and on, and I have no idea what you're even talking about.

Makoto Ito: It's nothing much. The Uchiha Clan was just wiped out, that's all...

Makoto Ito casually tossed out that bombshell...

The moment everyone saw Makoto Ito's words, they fell silent...

The Chat Group instantly became deathly quiet!

Then, a string of messages erupted like bombs...

Madara Uchiha: What did you say?! The Uchiha Clan was wiped out?????

Izuna Uchiha: What did you say? Our Uchiha Clan is gone????

Minato Namikaze: How... how could that be?

Shisui Uchiha: So it ultimately came to that...

Hashirama Senju: What happened? Is that true?

Tobirama Senju: Wiped... wiped out!!!!???? How is that possible?!!!

Even Tobirama Senju, who usually despised the Uchiha and constantly called them the Evil Uchiha Clan, found it unbelievable!

After all, the Uchiha Clan had been one of the great clans that founded Konoha! How could they have been wiped out so easily?

The Uchiha Clan was extremely powerful! What kind of enemy could have wiped them out?

Tobirama Senju had always suppressed the Uchiha Clan because they were too powerful, and because they had produced a rogue ninja like Madara Uchiha!

But honestly, Tobirama Senju had never thought of wiping out the Uchiha Clan!

Could Konoha have faced some unstoppable enemy? Had Konoha suffered devastating losses, leading to the Uchiha Clan's destruction?

Tobirama Senju: Kid! Hurry up and explain what happened! Did Konoha encounter some powerful enemy? How could the Uchiha Clan have been wiped out?

Makoto Ito: Konoha didn't encounter any powerful enemy! They were simply wiped out. It was the Third Hokage and Danzo's doing!

For a moment, Tobirama Senju failed to process it. Had his two disciples really been that impressive? They had actually wiped out the Uchiha Clan?

Tobirama Senju: So that's how it was. The Uchiha Clan must have wanted to rebel against the village! I told you long ago, they're an evil clan!

Hashirama Senju: Shut up, Tobirama! At a time like this, you're still saying that?

Tobirama Senju: Heh. Was I not telling the truth?

Hashirama Senju: Shut up!

Tobirama Senju: I understand, Brother. Don't casually erupt with Chakra...

In that instant, Tobirama Senju seemed to truly feel Hashirama Senju's fury. It even felt as though he could sense Hashirama Senju's surging Chakra through the Chat Group!

Hashirama Senju was genuinely angry. What in the world were these descendants doing? The Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan had been the two strongest clans of the Warring States Period! They were important pillars of Konoha, and it was Madara Uchiha's clan! Yet they had simply been wiped out?
