It could be said... this is rotten from the root.
Once something rots, it spreads.
[Tobirama Senju]: ...
[Tobirama Senju]: What I told Hiruzen was to protect those who trust you, and then pass on the Will of Fire.
[Tobirama Senju]: I sacrificed myself before the Second Great Ninja War, so I couldn't control what happened afterward.
[Hashirama Senju]: Alright, Tobirama, don't blame yourself. It's also because my generation didn't do a good job, which made things so difficult for you.
[Minato Namikaze]: —
If it were the usual Minato, he would have stepped in by now to comfort these two respected past Hokage.
But this time, Minato didn't react.
No.
It should be said... he was restraining his reaction.
[Minato Namikaze]: As for Naruto's situation, I will personally ask the Third Hokage about it when I have the chance.
He was indeed holding back his emotions.
He was a gentle person, but he never imagined that he had dedicated everything to the village.
Even when the second Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, Kushina Uzumaki, met an unfortunate end, he agreed to let his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, become the Jinchuriki.
And then both of them risked their lives for the village.
The result of that, however, was this outcome.
He could understand the Third Hokage at first, thinking it was something a decision-maker had to do.
But, I'm sorry... it seemed the Third Hokage didn't consider any of that at all.
Even though Minato now appeared calm and serene.
But everyone knew he was about to explode.
[Worst Kazekage (Fake)]: Huh?
However, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa asked in confusion.
[Worst Kazekage (Fake)]: Isn't this how Jinchuriki are treated?
[Worst Kazekage (Fake)]: Only by enduring mistreatment and not betraying the village can one be a qualified Jinchuriki.
[Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Brother of Hashirama Senju]: Shut up already! x3
The three Uchiha and Senju brothers said in unison.
There was nothing like this in their eras when they fought for their respective clans.
The wars weren't this disgusting, yet the peace time was this disgusting. Why?
[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]: Speaking of which, Fourth Kazekage, you turned your own son into the One-Tailed Jinchuriki.
[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]: And then you instilled in him that he was a monster, and you continuously arranged for people to assassinate him, right?
[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]: The goal was to confirm whether he was a threat to the Sand Village.
[Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]: If he was a threat to the Sand Village, you would eliminate him.
[Worst Kazekage (Fake)]: Isn't this normal? Jinchuriki have always been weapons for the village, and their safety must be guaranteed. Not being a threat to the village is the most basic requirement.
[Hashirama Senju]: ...!
Tobirama Senju was so angry he could barely speak.
In the past, when Konoha was just founded, and then the Four Great Ninja Villages were established in imitation of Konoha, Hashirama had distributed the Tailed Beasts for the sake of peace... but instead of peace, these people had cultivated the Tailed Beasts into weapons!
[... ]
[Might Guy]: What a scumbag.
Might Guy had come online and heard about Rasa.
He thought what he heard yesterday was disgusting enough, but what he was hearing now was even more so.
He had joined the group chat a few days ago and had come to understand some of the inside stories of various higher-ups.
But he himself was a ninja of Konoha, and having experienced things firsthand and staying by Kakashi's side, he was already aware of the darker aspects and could accept them.
But!
Naruto's current experience brought back memories of his own past...
[Your father's taijutsu is terrible, his ninjutsu is also mediocre, he's just a useless dad!]
He was Dead Last in his youth, ostracized, and his father was also insulted.
But those things were in the past. His father eventually mastered the Eight Gates Formation, and he was proud of his father.
However, seeing Naruto's situation and hearing Rasa's dialogue...
Might Guy's emotions also exploded today.
"Worst Kazekage (Fake)": You people are unreasonable.
"Worst Kazekage (Fake)": Tailed Beasts are weapons.
"Unmarriageable Older Single Woman": But no one would send someone to assassinate their own child!
"Worst Kazekage (Fake)": But my son is very successful thanks to my upbringing, and that's enough for me!
"...Everyone Else"
Everyone felt that this Rasa was beyond saving.
[Beep!]
[Regarding the "Worst Kazekage vs. Third Hokage" competition, the Fourth Kazekage is currently winning.]
[Congratulations to the Fourth Kazekage for obtaining a new title, the official title of Worst Kazekage-Rasa,]
[Due to wearing a title with negative effects, Rasa is banned from logging in for two days.]
The system implied that the Third Hokage's actions toward Naruto made him a bad person, and that the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was even worse, practically scum.
In the "Worst Kazekage competition," the Fourth Kazekage's true nature was even more rotten.
And with this prompt, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa had also donned his own title.
"Worst Kazekage-Rasa": Hmph!
Rasa still didn't believe he had done anything wrong.
Everyone else had stopped paying attention to him.
They noticed that Kitahara Kaede was now looking at Naruto's door.
"Wood Release."
With Kitahara Kaede's light voice, the words on Naruto's wooden door were corrected with newly made wooden material.
All the insulting words disappeared.
Then, Kitahara Kaede raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock—"
"Mmm… so sleepy…"
"Hah…"
"Kitahara!"
Naruto, still wearing a crooked sleeping cap, opened the door.
"Why do you insist on wearing your forehead protector?"
The first thing Kitahara Kaede said upon seeing Naruto was this.
But this seemed to be on everyone's mind in the group chat.
Ps: I'd like to recommend my own book.
[Ninja World: You're telling me this is an ordinary ninja?]
You can find it by searching for "ordinary." It's 600,000 characters long.
It's also a story about a guy easily charming girls.
Chapter 045: Naruto Uzumaki's Face, Sealed by His Forehead Protector! (Seeking Data!)
Anyone who knew Minato knew that he was a warm guy and a super handsome man.
Blonde handsome, gentle as jade demeanor, a reliable back.
This was Minato's title.
And as his son… everyone had seen Naruto. He wears his forehead protector, and while he looks okay, he's… completely unrelated to handsome.
And now, Kitahara Kaede stood before Naruto's apartment. Naruto looked like he had just woken up, but he was wearing a sleeping cap on his head, and… also his forehead protector.
That's right.
Why would he still wear his forehead protector even while sleeping?
Minato was so handsome… so naturally, some people wanted to see what Naruto looked like without his forehead protector.
Facing Kitahara Kaede's curiosity, Naruto gently pushed his forehead protector up.
"Heh…"
"Because like this, I'm a Genin of Konoha!"
"If I want to gain the recognition of others, wouldn't I first need to become a ninja?"
"Many people didn't believe I could graduate from the Ninja Academy, but I graduated, and then I became a Genin!"
Naruto lightly bared his white teeth.
He looked quite sunny.
"But wearing the forehead protector like this is so ugly," Kitahara Kaede said directly.
The people in the group nodded in agreement.
Naruto's facial features were fine, though the whiskers on the sides of his mouth, which made him look a bit like a fox, were a problem.
However!
If he took off the forehead protector, he probably wouldn't look bad.
"I know it looks ugly this way," Naruto said, surprising everyone.
"But this is motivation!"
"I won't take it off until I become Hokage and gain everyone's recognition!"
"So, if you take it off, will you change your hairstyle?" Kitahara Kaede continued to ask.
"My hairstyle?"
He touched his golden hair. "I'll get a buzz cut. It'll look sharper."
"..."
In other words, wearing the forehead protector makes him look ugly, and then you'll buzz cut when you take it off?
"..."
That's still ugly, isn't it?
