Bloodlust Minato!

"Fourth Hokage..."

At this moment, even Hashirama Senju felt that what Hiruzen Sarutobi had done was utterly foolish.

How could he be so foolish that he only concealed the identity of the Fourth Hokage's son, while failing to conceal anything else about the Jinchuriki?

"Third Hokage, how could someone be this stupid?"

Hashirama Senju questioned Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Tobirama Senju, who had remained silent beside them, finally could not help but speak. "Big brother, you're the least qualified person to call others stupid."

Hashirama Senju: "??"

"Tobirama! Why would you say that about me!"

There seemed to be actual tears welling up in his eyes.

Tobirama Senju: "..."

He rubbed his forehead and shook his head. "Big brother, no one can be as stupid as you, so Monkey did it deliberately. Otherwise, why would the Fourth Hokage be this angry?"

Then, he turned toward Minato Namikaze, who was forming a Rasengan. "Fourth Hokage, wait for Monkey to give you an explanation first."

"I'm already holding myself back."

Every word Minato Namikaze spoke seemed to burst out from between his teeth.

Though he knew an Impure World Reincarnation Body was immortal and indestructible, he still wanted to tear Hiruzen Sarutobi into pieces.

He wanted to slam a Rasengan straight onto that old bastard's head.

"Gulp."

Hiruzen Sarutobi swallowed nervously.

If he had a reason, or an explanation he could give, he would have given it long ago. Why would he lie?

Lying naturally meant that he had not thought of a better reason or excuse.

"Fourth Hokage, I have always looked after Naruto as well. I often helped him in daily life, but the villagers' beliefs were deeply ingrained. They had long known that he was the Nine-Tailed Fox and had long ostracized him as though he himself were the Nine-Tailed Fox."
