Hiruzen Sarutobi's panic

"What? How could this happen?"

Minato Namikaze listened to what Kanami said in disbelief.

What does it mean that Naruto appears happy on the surface but is actually more heartbroken behind the scenes?

He frowned slightly and asked Kanami with concern.

"It means exactly what it says," Kanami said without any intention of hiding anything.

He didn't want to keep it a secret for Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

As Naruto Uzumaki's father, he has the right to know all of this.

Even if he doesn't say it himself, someone else will eventually say it.

Do you know what kind of life Naruto Uzumaki lived after you and Kushina Uzumaki died?

Kanami asked, feigning ignorance.

Minato Namikaze gave a bitter smile.

"I don't know..."

Do you want to know?

"Could you tell me about Naruto Uzumaki?"

Minato Namikaze asked gently.

Since you said you wanted to know, I can tell you.

After confirming the details, Kanami told Minato Namikaze everything about Naruto Uzumaki from childhood to adulthood.

Even with the most compressed timeline, the entire process, spanning so many years, still took a full half hour.

It took an hour to finish explaining everything.

After hearing everything Kanami said, Minato Namikaze froze on the spot.

His expression shifted between light and shadow.

He kept muttering, "How is this possible?"

How could anyone treat my son like this?

"I am the Fourth Hokage, and my son is the hero who sealed the Nine-Tails Fox that destroyed the village. How could I be ostracized?"

"Shouldn't he be surrounded by people?"

"Then why did I seal half of the Nine-Tails inside him?"

"I don't know why, but the result was that Naruto Uzumaki endured things that ordinary people would find difficult to bear, which is why I say he became someone who could stand on his own."

Kanami spoke calmly.

These are his true feelings.

"That's not what I think..." Minato Namikaze's face was deathly pale, looking almost bloodless.

"I really wanted Naruto to become a hero of Konoha..."

"Fourth Hokage, don't be sad. Who could have predicted that the villagers of Konoha Village would eventually mistake Naruto Uzumaki for the Nine-Tails Fox himself?"

Hashirama Senju's voice rang out.

The First Hokage and others had appeared behind Minato Namikaze without anyone noticing.

They heard a lot of what Kanami said.

However, Minato Namikaze's pupils trembled slightly upon hearing Hashirama Senju's voice.

He slowly stood up and walked to Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Third Hokage Lord, don't you have anything to say after hearing all this?"

His tone was extremely cold.

A tone that was used only once during his lifetime.

That happened when Obito Uchiha was preparing to kill Kushina Uzumaki.

Sensing Minato Namikaze's killing intent, Hashirama Senju frowned instantly and warned, "Fourth Hokage."

Minato Namikaze then withdrew his obvious killing intent.

Only then did Hiruzen Sarutobi regain some color in his face.

In that brief moment, even he, Impure World Reincarnation Body, felt the fear of death.

Even someone who has already died will not easily overcome life and death if they were to experience death again.

This is a fear from the depths of one's soul.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Minato Namikaze spoke again.

"Fourth Hokage..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a low voice, "I can't say I'm completely unrelated to Naruto Uzumaki being regarded as the Demon Fox, but... my starting point was actually the same as yours."

"Go on."

"I was also trying to protect Naruto Uzumaki from harm."

"He's Jinchuriki; if this news gets out, you can imagine what will happen to him!"

"That's what Hiruzen Sarutobi said."

Minato Namikaze frowned upon hearing this.

But he didn't say anything more.

Seeing Hashirama Senju, "I can only say that you two are both foolish. Your starting points were both good, but the results were equally terrible."

"Fortunately, Naruto Uzumaki is mostly unharmed and has now become capable of handling things on his own. He'll make up for what happened before in the future!"

"Excuse me,"

At this moment, Kanami suddenly spoke up.

"Although I shouldn't have interrupted at this time when you seem to be making up, I did anyway."

Everyone present was taken aback by these words.

Tsunade, in particular, looked extremely pale, with her lips twitching slightly.

Brother! Kanami!

You're the boss!

Why are you interrupting at a time like this?!

And with such a domineering tone!

No one in history has ever dared to speak to my great-grandfather like that!

Even Orochimaru subconsciously prepared to activate Technique Formula to control Hashirama Senju.

If things go wrong, he will try to take control.

To prevent an attack on Kanami.

Kanami is currently at its peak.

The future of Konoha Village.

Orochimaru's desire to continue his research, and his ability to do so within Konoha, was made possible by Kanami's agreement, which allowed him to easily appear in Konoha Village.

For him, offending some dead people for the sake of a promising living person was a worthwhile trade-off no matter how you looked at it.

However, the scenario he feared Hashirama Senju would become enraged did not materialize.

Hashirama Senju showed no displeasure whatsoever; on the contrary, he wore an expression of great appreciation. "Good, good, very spirited. Tell me about it."

Kanami knew that Hashirama Senju had a cheerful personality, and this wasn't sarcasm.

He nodded and said, "Old monkey, you said the information was kept secret because of Naruto's status as a Jinchūriki."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

People calling me "old monkey" is one thing, but what generation are you in?

You dare call me an old monkey?

However, with all the previous Past Hokage present, he couldn't directly lash out.

He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Aka! When we're at work, please address me as the Third Hokage."

Feng An smiled. "Alright, Third Hokage, the information you concealed is excellent. Concealing the fact that Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage is perfectly acceptable, given your need to hide the fact that Naruto is a Jinchūriki."

"But what was the result?"

What was the result?

"The result is that, apart from the fact that Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the Fourth Hokage, you haven't hidden a single other thing!"

Kanami laughed and said, "Do you think what you said makes sense?"

"You managed to keep the identity of the Fourth Hokage’s son a secret, but you couldn't even keep the most important information about the Jinchuriki from the villagers of Konoha Village? Is your brain in your ass?"

"You!" Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly, his finger trembling as he pointed at Kanami.

"I am the Third Hokage! Even though I am dead, it is not your place, a junior, to humiliate me like this!"

"Flame Bullet!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to begin Hand Seals.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, his right arm flew off!

Minato Namikaze stood beside his severed limbs, his bright blue Rasengan still spinning in his hand.

"Then tell me, why did what Kanami described happen?"

Minato Namikaze's tone was extremely cold.

The killing intent poured out without reservation!
