You're Still Young, but There Are Things You Need to Understand

"Naruto Uzumaki trained with me for a while, but later I received a warning from the Anbu. Their reason was that Naruto Uzumaki was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and might hurt me, but I thought Naruto was a good guy."

Rock Lee talked a lot in one breath because at that time, he was also at the bottom of his class. The two had similar experiences, and now, looking back, they were full of contradictions.

"Didn't we say earlier that the Nine-Tails was sealed away, sealed inside the body of someone with a special constitution, and that person has a special name— Jinchūriki?" Uchiha Feng hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.

It seems that a lot has changed in this world.

Suddenly, Tenten looked up and said, "Then isn't Naruto Uzumaki a hero?"

Her tone was full of questions; she did have a slight impression of Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki once tried to buy a Kunai from his family's ninja tool shop. He had some old, loose change, but it wasn't enough to buy a new Kunai he sold her his used Kunai a discount. At that time, she also received a warning from the Anbu.

From then on, she unconsciously developed a dislike for Naruto Uzumaki.

But now it's being discovered that Naruto Uzumaki might be the hero who sacrificed himself to save Konoha?

If he truly is a hero, why was he treated that way?

Rock Lee asked in confusion, "But Naruto's age doesn't seem to match the timeline of the Nine-Tails Rebellion?"

Neji Hyuga realized something, "No, the timing just matches up. I investigated Naruto Uzumaki because of some things. The year he was born was during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, it might even have been that very day!"

The incident he was referring to was that when he was young, some classmates bullied Hinata Hyuga, and it was at that time that Naruto Uzumaki rescued Hinata Hyuga.

This is how Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga came into contact.

Later, when I grew up and was confident in freeing the Caged Bird, I realized that the events of that time were full of inconsistencies.

As the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Main Family, Hinata Hyuga couldn't possibly be without guards. Moreover, her uncle from the Main Family later allowed Naruto Uzumaki to appear around Hinata Hyuga Clan.

Rock Lee continued, "Back then, Naruto Uzumaki was just a baby!"

Uchiha Feng was surprised that the oblivious Rock Lee was so thoughtful at this moment, "Because he has irresponsible parents."

"Irresponsible parents?" Kai's three students were all pondering Uchiha Feng's words.

"The Uzumaki Clan?" Finally Neji Hyuga thought of something and looked up at Uchiha Feng.

Uchiha Feng asked the kids, "What do you think is the difference between clan ninjas and commoner ninjas?"

"Resources and money?" Rock Lee was a little uncertain. He was the one among the three who best met all the requirements for a commoner ninja, and he answered uncertainly.

"Inherited Ninjutsu!" Tenten's voice was full of certainty, but her eyes were somewhat dim.

Of the three, her weakness is that she doesn't have a direct path to Jonin.

Rock Lee was able to learn the Eight Gates, Neji Hyuga had the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan, so she greatly admired them. Even after Might Guy taught her ki, she trained diligently, but still couldn't match them.

"It should be acceptance and exclusion!" Neji Hyuga gave Uchiha Feng the answer he wanted, which was also the answer in his heart.

The branch families of the Hyuga Clan are considered part of the Hyuga Clan by other clans' ninjas, but in the eyes of the Hyuga Main Family, these branch family members are merely tools.

Some members of the Hyuga Branch Family are ashamed of this identity, yet when facing ordinary people, they use this identity to try and distinguish themselves from them.

This is what we call a sense of belonging!

Three people, three different answers—all reflecting what they lacked.

"Clan ninjas possess greater power than ordinary ninjas, and this power controls the allocation of resources. This includes money (Rock Lee mentioned), Ninjutsu (Tenten mentioned), and recognition (Neji mentioned)."

These are all methods used by clan ninjas to control the world.

This world has established an order that divides people into different classes; a new force must emerge to break this order.

This will affect the interests of many people, and it's very dangerous. You are living in this era."

Uchiha Feng's words were like a brand on them, especially these three people, who were all victims of this order and empathized with it in some ways.

"Actually, the village is not bad. Every villager lives a fairly prosperous life and seems quite content." Rock Lee scratched his head, wanting to explain for the village and its rulers.

"..." Tenten fell into deep thought. Their family ran a ninja tool shop, bearing huge risks, but the village would take 70% of the profits. They could only desperately try to increase sales.

However, if one becomes Jonin, they can be exempted from some taxes, which is why she strives so hard to become a powerful ninja.

Looking back now, the reason why the Sarutobi Clan's small, run-down ninja tool shop could surpass ours in net income by so much is because they were able to set the rules.

Neji Hyuga, however, noticed Uchiha Feng's final point: Was a new power emerging? Did it refer to ki?

This power was indeed strong, enabling him to escape the Caged Bird.

When Rock Lee noticed that his two companions were deep in thought and ignoring him, he usually knew that he had done something wrong.

"You're still young, but it's time for you to grow up! This world is about to undergo a change." Uchiha Feng looked at the somewhat bewildered Rock Lee and comforted the naive boy.

"Has training not started yet?" At that moment, Might Guy came running from a distance, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
