Creating Elf Jinchuriki in Konoha, Causing Mayhem

"Clink..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe fell from his lips onto the ground.

His eyes widened, his mouth agape.

For a moment, he was utterly bewildered.

"This...

This...

You...

You aren't..."

"Didn't I already die?"

Kushina finished Hiruzen Sarutobi's unspoken words for him.

"To be honest, I don't know how I'm alive again either."

"What in the world is going on?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely confused.

He could be sure that the person before him was not resurrected via Impure World Reincarnation.

But a living person!

Someone brought back to life!

Yet, it was precisely because of this realization that he felt so bewildered.

"How can a dead person be resurrected?!

What kind of jutsu is this?!

Doesn't the caster suffer backlash from this!?"

"Third Hokage."

Kakashi also quickly caught up and briefly recounted what he had seen at the graveyard that morning.

"There's such a thing?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was still very confused.

He couldn't figure it out.

Who, or what power, possessed such great strength to bring the dead back to life.

And what was the purpose of this person, or this power, in reviving Kushina!?

"Kushina.

Come with me out of the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a grave expression, "Your resurrection is truly unexpected.

Although I don't know the other person's objective.

However.

We need to isolate you.

And thoroughly examine your body.

Otherwise, if that person controls you to destroy Konoha, the village could suffer unimaginable destruction!"

"Alright."

Kushina, having once been the Hokage's wife, naturally understood the seriousness of the situation.

"But.

I need you to give me an explanation.

Naruto...

My Naruto...

Why is his identity known to everyone in the village?!

Why has he been living such a hard life!?

What about the promise you made back then?"

"This..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened upon hearing this.

"Kushina, I'm sorry.

This was my oversight.

Back then, I left the battlefield with Naruto in sorrow and entrusted him to a trustworthy wet nurse.

However."

This matter became known to many villagers.

They didn't understand anything else.

They only knew that the Nine-Tails was sealed by the Fourth Hokage.

The Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself.

And a newborn child with whisker marks on his face suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

I carried this child out from the battlefield.

And handed him over to a wet nurse to look after, with several Anbu members watching him the entire time.

Thus.

These villagers believed Naruto was the Nine-Tails Demon Fox.

That the Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails with his life, and after the Nine-Tails was sealed, it transformed into a human child.

Afterwards.

The rumors spread throughout the village.

I discovered this matter immediately.

But I had no way to shut the villagers' mouths.

Under duress.

And to protect Naruto from being spied on by ninja from other villages.

I could only order the news of Naruto being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to be sealed.

Those who violated this would be severely punished.

At the same time, I came forward to explain, saying Naruto was an ordinary child born during the Nine-Tails' attack on the village.

He had nothing to do with the Nine-Tails.

And I sealed off Naruto's relationship with the Fourth Hokage.

I wanted to use this method to seal the news of Naruto being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The effect was indeed significant.

Very few people knew that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

But...

I overlooked the evil in people's hearts.

Those whose families had died or whose homes were destroyed, unable to find the Nine-Tails for revenge, and not daring to seek revenge from the Nine-Tails.

So.

They took out their malice on the innocent Naruto.

They didn't call Naruto by his name, only referring to him as the Demon Fox.

They didn't see Naruto as a person, but as the Demon Fox itself!

There was nothing I could do, so I had to issue another order.

Forbidding anyone from venting their anger on the innocent Naruto.

Forbidding anyone from telling Naruto that he was the Demon Fox!

Forbidding the use of the name Demon Fox to refer to Naruto.

However, the ban seemed to have the opposite effect.

More people became curious about this matter and secretly called Naruto the Demon Fox.

Taking pride in it.

They didn't care about the truth at all.

They didn't care about Naruto either.

They just treated this matter as a way to pass the time.

Just like how they used to mock your red hair.

They mocked and isolated Naruto to their heart's content.

The children in the village were influenced by the adults.

They also began to isolate Naruto and subjected him to school bullying.

I had no choice but to ask Iruka to take good care of him."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh.

"Although Naruto has always suffered greatly.

I believe in Naruto."

Saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head to look at the large tree in the courtyard.

The large tree was lush and verdant.

"I believe in him.

I believe that the hatred between people can be resolved with love.

One day, he will be recognized by everyone.

Become a hero in the eyes of the people.

Become Konoha's new Hokage!

The era when people can truly understand each other will eventually come!"

Listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Kushina, who had been furious moments ago, also calmed down.

She suddenly felt that she had been too impulsive just now.

So.

She smiled sheepishly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Um...

I was too impulsive just now."

Kushina scratched her head, "I saw that Naruto is living a very difficult life right now.

So I got very angry and anxious."

"It's not your fault..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, "It's my fault.
