The Handsome Face Naruto Uzumaki Keeps Hidden Under His Headband! (Please support the stats!)

It could be said... this had rotted from the roots.

Once it started rotting, it would rot all over.

Tobirama Senju: ...

Tobirama Senju: What I told Hiruzen was to protect those who trusted you, then pass on the Will of Fire.

Tobirama Senju: I died before the Second Shinobi World War, so I had no control over what happened afterward.

Hashirama Senju: All right, Tobirama, stop blaming yourself. I also failed to do well in my generation and made things so hard for you.

Minato Namikaze: --

Normally, Minato would have stepped in by now to comfort these two admirable Hokage of previous generations.

But this time, Minato did not react.

No.

Rather... he was holding back his reaction.

Minato Namikaze: As for Naruto, if I get the chance, I'll personally ask the Third Hokage sooner or later.

Sure enough, he was suppressing his emotions.

He was a gentle person, but he had never imagined that he had devoted everything to the village.

Even when Kushina Uzumaki, the second Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, had tragically died, he had agreed to let his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, become the Jinchuriki.

Then the two of them had risked their lives for the village.

Yet this was the result they got.

At first, he could understand the Third Hokage and felt that this was something a decision-maker had no choice but to do.

But sorry... it seemed the Third Hokage had not considered any of that at all.

Minato looked calm on the surface now.

But everyone knew he was about to explode.

Worst Kazekage (Fake): Huh?

However, Fourth Mizukage Rasa voiced his confusion.

Worst Kazekage (Fake): Isn't this how Jinchuriki are treated?

Worst Kazekage (Fake): Only by enduring bad treatment without betraying the village can one be considered a qualified Jinchuriki.

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Brother of Hashirama Senju: Would you just shut up already?! X3

The three Uchiha and Senju brothers spoke in unison.

Back in the era when they fought for their respective clans, there had been nothing like this.

Even wartime had not been this disgusting. Why was the peaceful era even more disgusting?

Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Speaking of which, Fourth Kazekage, you turned your own son into the One-Tail Jinchuriki.

Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Then you drilled it into him that he was a monster and kept sending people to assassinate him, right?

Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Your goal was to determine whether he was harmful to Sunagakure.

Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: If he was harmful to Sunagakure, you would eliminate him.

Worst Kazekage (Fake): Isn't that normal? Jinchuriki have always been the village's weapons. Their safety must be ensured. Not threatening the village is the most basic requirement.

Hashirama Senju: ...!

Tobirama Senju was nearly too furious to speak.

Back when the Hidden Leaf Village had just been founded, the other four great ninja villages had followed its example. Hashirama had distributed the tailed beasts for the sake of peace... but in the end... there was no peace. Instead, these people had turned every last tailed beast into weapons!

Might Guy: What a rotten person.

Guy had come online and heard about Rasa.

He had thought what he heard yesterday was disgusting enough, but what he heard now was even worse.

He had been in the group chat for several days and had more or less learned some of the secrets behind the higher-ups.

But he himself was also a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village. Having lived there for years and spent so much time around Kakashi, he already knew some of its dark side. He could accept it.

But!

Naruto's experience now reminded him of his own past...

[Your father is no good at Taijutsu, and his ninjutsu is mediocre. He's just a useless father!]

When he was young, he had been a Dead Last and was ostracized. Even his father had been cursed at because of him.

But those things were in the past. In the end, his father had mastered the Eight Gates Formation. He was a father Guy was proud of.

But seeing Naruto like this and hearing Rasa's words...

Guy's emotions exploded today as well.

Worst Kazekage (Fake): You people are unreasonable.

Worst Kazekage (Fake): Tailed beasts are weapons.

Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: But no one would send people to assassinate their own child!

Worst Kazekage (Fake): But I raised my son very successfully. That is enough!

...Everyone.

Everyone felt that Rasa was beyond saving.

[Ding!]

[In the contest to determine who is worse between the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Hokage, the Fourth Kazekage is currently ahead.]

[Congratulations to the Fourth Kazekage for obtaining a new title: Worst Kazekage—Rasa's official title.]

[Because he has equipped a title with negative effects, Rasa is forbidden from coming online for two days.]

The system was saying that the Third Hokage's treatment of Naruto made him a rotten person, while Fourth Mizukage Rasa was no better—he was outright scum.

In the contest to see who was worse, the Fourth Kazekage's nature was even more rotten.

And with that notification, Fourth Mizukage Rasa also equipped his title.

Worst Kazekage—Rasa: Hmph!

Rasa still did not think he was wrong.

And no one paid attention to him anymore.

They noticed that Kitahara Kaede was looking toward Naruto's door.

"Wood Release."

With Kitahara Kaede's casual words, the writing on Naruto's wooden door was corrected with newly created wood.

All those insulting words disappeared.

Then Kitahara Kaede raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock—"

"Mmm... so sleepy..."

"Yawn..."

"Kitahara!"

Naruto opened the door, still wearing a crooked sleeping cap.

"Why do you insist on wearing your forehead protector?"

That was the first thing Kitahara Kaede said upon seeing Naruto.

But it seemed to be what everyone in the group wanted to ask.

PS: Let me recommend my own book.

[Ninja World: And You're Telling Me This Is an Ordinary Ninja?]

Just search "Ordinary," and you'll find it. It has 600,000 words.

It's also a lighthearted story about traveling with girls.

Naruto Uzumaki's Looks Sealed by His Forehead Protector! (Asking for Data)

Everyone who knew Minato knew that he was a warm-hearted man and a super handsome guy.

Blond hair, a gentle and refined temperament, and a reliable back.

Those were Minato's trademarks.

And as his son... everyone had seen Naruto. With his forehead protector on, he looked passable, but...

He had absolutely nothing to do with being handsome.

And now, Kitahara Kaede stood in front of Naruto's apartment. Naruto seemed to have just woken up, but he had a sleeping cap on his head and... a forehead protector too.

That was right.

Why was he still wearing a forehead protector while sleeping?

Minato was so handsome... so naturally, people wanted to see what Naruto looked like without his forehead protector.

Faced with Kitahara Kaede's curiosity, Naruto gently adjusted the forehead protector on his brow.

"Heh..."

"Because with this, I'm a Genin of the Hidden Leaf Village!"

"If I want to earn everyone's recognition, then I have to become a ninja first, right?"

"Lots of people didn't believe I could graduate from the Ninja Academy, but I did, and I even became a Genin!"

Naruto flashed his white teeth.

He looked very sunny and cheerful.

"But wearing the forehead protector like that is too ugly."

Kitahara Kaede said it directly.

And the people in the group nodded as well.

There was nothing wrong with Naruto's facial features. The only issue was the fox-like whiskers around his mouth, which made him look a little like a fox.

But!

If he took off the forehead protector, he should not look bad.

"I know it looks ugly when I wear it like this," Naruto said, surprising everyone.

"But this is motivation!"

"I absolutely won't take it off until I become Hokage and earn everyone's recognition!"

"Then if you took it off, would you change your hairstyle?" Kitahara Kaede continued asking.

"My hairstyle?"

He touched his golden hair. "I'd shave it into a crew cut. It'd look more spirited."

"..."

In other words, wearing the forehead protector made him look ugly, and once he took it off, he would shave his head?

"..."

Wouldn't that still be ugly?
