"Wow, another 3000 taels! I'm going to celebrate with a Ichiraku Ramen tonight."
Naruto was overjoyed to receive his allowance, and his mouth watered at the thought of Ichiraku Ramen.
"Living expenses, 3000 taels per month?"
Minato Namikaze, inside the alternate dimension, was shocked.
Why only 3000 taels?
Isn't Naruto his own son? Is 3000 ryo a month really enough for living expenses?
In Konoha nowadays, even the lowest-ranking D-level missions reward 30-400 ryo per mission.
However, Naruto only received 3,000 ryo per month after his birth, and it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who personally delivered it to him.
In other words, Hiruzen Sarutobi was fully aware of everything that happened to Naruto!
Third Lord Hokage, why, why did you treat your own son like this?
"By the way, Third Hokage, why does everyone call me a monster? I just got insulted again."
Then Naruto raised his head and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes full of grievance.
"How could Naruto be a monster? It's just that everyone doesn't know the truth, so they misunderstand Naruto. In Grandpa's heart, Naruto is a good boy."
Hiruzen Sarutobi affectionately patted Naruto's head.
"Then why do people misunderstand me? What's the truth? Do I have parents? Who are my parents? Why did they abandon me and won't even let me eat a three-colored dumpling?"
Naruto said with a dejected look.
" Naruto, you're still young. I'll tell you the whole truth when you grow up. Remember, where leaves dance, fire will never die."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.
Although this is Minato's child, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the connection is significant.
Therefore, I cannot give him a normal childhood.
However, this exchange brought about stability in Konoha in the future. For this reason, Minato's son had to be temporarily put in a difficult position until he grew up.
"Oh, I understand."
Naruto nodded, then chatted with Hiruzen Sarutobi for a while longer Hiruzen Sarutobi left.
"Hateful!"
Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze slammed his fist heavily against the wall of the alternate dimension.
He received 3,000 taels of silver per month for living expenses, but was constantly misunderstood and cursed by the villagers, who didn't even tell him Naruto Naruto's parents were.
Third Hokage, what are you trying to do?
Do you want to be a light in the darkness?
Minato Namikaze had a question in his mind, and at the same time, his Chakra burst forth.
"No, I have to find out the truth."
Minato Namikaze also became anxious.
"Stop your impotent rage. You cannot leave this space without my permission."
Ziyun laughed. It seems that Minato Namikaze's heart has also shown signs of turning dark.
Jiraiya; anyone would be furious to see their son treated like that.
"But this is nothing. Do you want to see what kind of abuse your son has suffered?"
Ziyun smiled; this was just the tip of the Iceburg of what Naruto had encountered.
During his childhood, he was often bullied by villagers and other kids his age.
Is there anything else?
Minato Namikaze was stunned.
"Hehe." Ziyun smiled noncommittally.
" Fourth Lord Raikage, may I see him again? I want to know what my son has been through all these years."
Minato Namikaze said.
"Are you begging me?" Ziyun's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes."
Minato Namikaze lowered his head. Although he was very unwilling, he was willing to beg for help in order to find out what had happened to his son, even if that person was Konoha's greatest enemy!
He was also the person I had been longing to kill!
"Then I'll show you."
It's rare to see Minato Namikaze humble himself and beg for help, so I'll grant his wish.
Immediately, the Time-Time Fruit ability was activated.
The scene changes.
"This child is that fox demon; he destroyed the village. We killed him!"
"That's right, the Nine-Tails is sealed inside this child. My parents died at the hands of the Nine-Tails, and I will avenge them!"
" The Lord Fourth Hokage also died at the hands of the Nine-Tails. Kill him and avenge the Lord Fourth Hokage!"
A group of Konoha Ninja, wielding knives, approached the one-year-old Naruto, only to be stopped by several Anbu.
The scene shifts again.
Several boys forcefully picked up stones from the ground and hurled them at Naruto.

"Kill this fox demon!"
"That's right, kill him! He's a fox demon who's ravaged the village!"
"He must be killed! That wretched fox demon!"
Clap clap clap
The rocks hit Naruto, leaving him covered in bruises, and his eyes were empty and numb.
The scene then changes.
"Get out! We don't sell anything to fox demons here, get out of here!"
"You're not welcome here. What bad luck! Now I'll have to replace everything you stepped on."
"Fox demon, what are you doing! Get out of here! You're such bad luck!"
The villagers' indifference, rejection, and dislike.
And the timely appearance and earnest teachings and guidance of the Third Hokage.
"No... don't let go! Don't let go!"
Having witnessed countless such scenes, Minato Namikaze suddenly knelt down and vomited.
Seeing his own son being abused like this, Minato experienced extremely adverse physiological reactions.
Food poured out along with foul-smelling stomach acid, creating a stench that filled the air.
"Can't you even tolerate this? Naruto has faced far more than this."
Ziyun pinched her nose, feeling a little disgusted.
"Damn it! How dare they do such a thing while I was away! Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
After calming down for a while, a hint of hatred flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes!
After seeing all this, Minato Namikaze finally understood.
If Naruto's identity is revealed, the villagers will never treat Naruto like this. This is all a conspiracy by the Konoha High Command!
He wanted to play the role of a ray of light in the darkness, to make Naruto see him as a savior, so as to consolidate their rule.
"Don't you have even the slightest doubt that this is an illusion I created?"
Ziyun asked, "Logically speaking, Minato Namikaze should be the same as Orochimaru."
No, I have no doubt!
"I can feel from Naruto that he is my own son."
Minato Namikaze's words were resolute.
"Really? Then what do you choose to do?"
Ziyun asked with great interest.
Minato Namikaze's descent into darkness happened even faster than Orochimaru's, which completely surprised Ziyun.
"Is there even a question? Of course, kill them, the Konoha High Command!"
"Kill them? Wouldn't that be too easy on them?"
"If I wanted to kill them, would I need to lift a finger?"
Ziyun smiled.
The destruction of Konoha could be decided in a single thought. To simply kill the Konoha High Command like that would be a betrayal of all they've done over the years.
"What does Lord Raikage mean?"
"Let them die in despair and shame. You should become the Fourth Hokage first."
"Anyway, your son is still a long way from being born."
