"Hiss."
Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing Naruto Uzumaki's words. Was this something they could hear for free?
Should we cover our ears?
Kakashi, who had been watching the drama unfold, was stunned for a moment. He never expected that he would be caught up in the drama himself, and then hearing Naruto talking about his father made him take it seriously.
He didn't believe someone had told Naruto this; it was definitely something Naruto found out later. As for how Naruto found it, he didn't care. Everyone has their own secrets, right?
Even Kakashi, who usually had a deadpan expression, perked up at this moment.
"Oh?"
Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju were also curious about the Naruto had mentioned, Kakashi's father, and they asked Tsunade if she knew who Naruto was talking about.
Tsunade was slightly taken aback when she saw Naruto. The name, the hair color, and the familiar smile gave off a sunny feeling, but also a sense of distance.
Hmm, this looks like Kushina and Minato's child.
Then I looked at Kakashi, and it was easy to confirm that he was White Fang-senpai's child.
Even Orochimaru was slightly taken aback when he heard about Kakashi's father. Then he met Tsunade's probing gaze. What could he do? He could only innocently shrug and indicate that he hadn't told Naruto, and that what he knew was just speculation.
Besides, he genuinely respects White Fang-senpai, so how could he possibly spread such rumors?
Seeing this, Tsunade could only sigh and nod.
"Yes, that white-haired guy over there is Kakashi. His father was known as the Konoha White Fang, a title that resonated throughout all the major ninja villages during the Second Shinobi World War. But later, for some reason, news spread that White Fang-senpai had committed suicide."
Tsunade thought she had been tactful enough, but it still displeased Kakashi was standing nearby.
The suicide of his father was a huge blow to him, plunging him into a deep depression and causing him to break down. At one point, he even felt that his father was unworthy of being a ninja and did not deserve the powerful title of Konoha White Fang. How could a dignified ninja commit suicide?
But it wasn't until he met a close friend he wanted to protect and cherish, yet was powerless to help due to his own lack of ability, that he slowly began to understand his father's situation... Because when he faced the same predicament, he wasn't even as decisive as his father...
These were things he had kept buried deep in his heart for many years, things he was unwilling to talk about. Now, however, someone had brought them to the surface, and that person was none other than his teacher's child, his current disciple. He also wanted to know what Naruto was up to.
Upon hearing this news, both Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju were slightly taken aback. Tobirama Senju was particularly surprised, as it was impossible for such a powerful ninja to choose suicide; it was the most pathetic way to die.
However, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju clearly had different concerns.
"What? Then another war broke out?"
However, no one paid any attention to the Hashirama Senju; their focus was entirely on Kakashi's father, the Konoha White Fang.
Even Tobirama Senju looked at Naruto, anticipating his next words.
Naruto was a little nervous seeing so many people watching him, but that didn't stop him from continuing. Facing the probing gazes of Tobirama Senju and Kakashi, Naruto could only share what he knew with everyone.
"Ultimately, this is because White Fang-senpai's reputation was too great at the time. The Grandpa Third was at the age to retire, but he didn't want to hand over the Hokage Position to someone who wasn't part of his own team. Actually, his best candidate from the beginning was Orochimaru."
"Um?"
Orochimaru, who was watching the drama unfold, was suddenly called out, drawing everyone's attention. He did indeed have the idea of Hokage at the time, but after witnessing the fragility of life, he lost interest in the Hokage and embarked on the path of seeking immortality, never to return.
However, he nodded nonetheless, because everything Naruto said was true.
Everyone was somewhat surprised to see Orochimaru nod, but what about Hiruzen Sarutobi? His entire old face had changed color, clearly indicating that what Naruto had said was true.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt his face turn green. He kept calling himself the Grandpa Third, but every time he struck, he hit me where it hurt. You brat!
While watching Danzo, when he saw Naruto backstab Hiruzen Sarutobi, his old face grinned like a grinning old man's chrysanthemum. "You Monkey, you've finally met your match? This is your so-called Will of Fire? How laughable!"
Naruto ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi's rather venomous gaze and continued speaking to himself:
" Orochimaru is essentially the same kind of person as Danzo. He's not suited to be a leader; he's only suited to be a weapon. But the Grandpa Third already has Lord Danzo as his weapon, so Orochimaru seems less necessary. However, Orochimaru is part of the Grandpa Third's inner circle, and at this time, the most popular White Fang-senpai, undoubtedly became a thorn in his side."
"So figuring out how to get the most popular candidate to voluntarily give up the Hokage Position became the main task. At this time, Danzo became his ally. However, in Lord Danzo's eyes, it was time for him to take the Hokage Position. So, he took advantage of White Fang-senpai's concern for his opponents and plotted to kill White Fang-senpai's teammates. In order to protect his teammates, White Fang-senpai had no choice but to give up the mission."
"But this gave Lord Danzo an opportunity. He stirred up public opinion, persecuting White Fang-senpai to death. Public opinion can melt metal and destroy bones. How could White Fang-senpai, caught in the crossfire of public opinion, withstand it? Even his teammates whom he had abandoned to protect came to criticize him. In the end, he committed suicide in his own home to quell the public opinion, all to protect Kakashi-sensei. How could White Fang-senpai not see that it was all a helpless act on his part?"
After Naruto finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Neither Tobirama Senju nor Hashirama Senju had expected such a thing to happen.
" Monkey, you... sigh, you're so foolish."
Hashirama Senju was heartbroken. His own village's genius had been ruined by his own people. What kind of situation was this?
Tobirama Senju Hiruzen Sarutobi's behavior; he shouldn't have Hiruzen Sarutobi Hokage Position to that guy in the first place.
Kakashi's exposed eye had turned completely bloodshot, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
" Lord Hokage, is it really as Naruto said?"
