Konoha: The Strong Man Who Walked Out of the Grave

At the same time, the Hokage Building.

Today was also the day that Sarutobi Hiruzen stayed away from home at night.

It's not that he doesn't want to go home, it's just that he's too upset and can't stay home.

What happened during the day had been reported to him by the ANBU who came back.

Regarding Kakashi's rebellion, although he had already expected it in his heart, he did not expect it to come so quickly.

More importantly, Naruto, who was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, was now taken away by Yusuke Uchiha.

The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the important fighting force of the village.

According to his idea, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is also a disposable tool of destruction.

If a war really breaks out with other villages at this time, as a deterrent weapon, even if Naruto does not master the power of the Nine-Tails, they can find a way to send Naruto to the enemy village and break the seal.

Just like the Nine-Tails Rebellion back then, the Nine-Tails directly caused fundamental destruction to the enemy.

This is Sarutobi Hiruzen's deepest understanding of Naruto.

There is nothing about him that is not expendable, as long as it does not touch his roots.

But now, the most intimidating weapon in the village has been taken away by the most dangerous man in the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been so worried that he couldn't sleep at night, now not only couldn't sleep anymore, but the wrinkles on his forehead were as if they had been touched by styling glue and they seemed to never be able to relax.

"It's difficult, it's too difficult, Yusuke Uchiha, why don't you die."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh. He thought hard and couldn't think of any other way to reverse the current situation.

The only way is to kill Uchiha Yusuke and bring the situation back under control.

But if Uchiha Yusuke was so easy to kill, they would have done it more than 20 years ago, why would they have waited until now?

His old body is no longer as brave as it once was, and he cannot last long in combat mode.

Dead ghouls sealed?

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly remembered this sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan.

It shouldn't be a big problem to use the ninjutsu that can seal the Nine-Tails to seal Uchiha Yusuke Uchiha, right?

If it really gets to that point...

Hiruzaru Sarutobi fell into deep thought.

……

Silent all night.

Perhaps this was the most comfortable sleep Naruto had ever had in his memory.

You can sleep until you wake up naturally, so you don’t have to make noodles by yourself or go out to find food.

After being taken to wash up by the kind Aunt Mikoto, he had dinner with everyone. For Naruto yesterday, this was a scene that could only exist in his imagination.

But now, his dream has come true, and nothing makes him feel happier than this.

Simply had breakfast.

Originally, Naruto and Sasuke were planning to go to ninja school together.

However, Yusuke Uchiha stopped him and asked Sasuke to go to the ninja school alone.

And he took Naruto to the Hokage Building.

"Teacher, why did you bring me to Third Generation Grandpa's place?"

The Hokage Building is indeed a landmark building in Konoha. Even Naruto knows that the Hokage works in this building.

"You silly kid, didn't you still want to know about your parents yesterday? You don't want to know today?"

Uchiha Yusuke smiled and touched Naruto's head.

After Yusuke Uchiha reminded him, Naruto remembered that there was such a thing.

He obviously remembered it before going to bed yesterday, but this morning it was so comfortable that he forgot about it.

But that doesn't mean it's not important to him to know his parents.

"Think! I thought so!"

"Just think about it, let's go. Some words are interesting only when they come from other people's mouths."

Uchiha Yusuke smiled slightly and walked in front.

Although Mingran didn't quite understand what his teacher meant, he just followed it.

Even though I have only known him for a day, I can completely trust my teacher.

"Ah, what a coincidence. It just so happens that everyone is here."

Uchiha Yusuke opened the office door.

It was discovered that all four Konoha members happened to be there.

"Uchiha Yusuke Uchiha? What are you going to do again?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't want to see Uchiha Yusuke again.

Uchiha Yusuke smiled slightly, and instead of answering Sarutobi Hiruzen, he shouted softly toward the door.

"Come in, Naruto."

Just such a sentence directly turned Sarutobi Hiruzen into a Sima-faced person.

"Third generation...grandpa?"

As soon as Naruto entered the door, he saw the Sima-faced Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He had never seen his third-generation grandfather, who was respected by people in the village, show such an expression.

"Haha, isn't this Naruto? Shouldn't he be in ninja school at this time? Skipping class is not what a good boy should do. Go back to class quickly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly changed his face, looking like a kind grandfather, and said to Naruto.

"The teacher asked me to come with him. He said he wanted to tell me about my parents."

Naruto hid behind Uchiha Yusuke timidly.

Somehow, he suddenly felt that the third-generation grandfather in front of him was a bit strange.

It was as if the previous knowledge had been overturned. Sarutobi Hiruzen's Sima face just now was too scary.

After hearing Naruto's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned into Sima's face again.

But this Sima's face was facing Uchiha Yusuke.

"Uchiha Yusuke, how long will you continue to make trouble before you give up?"

Uchiha Yusuke sneered and picked his ears with his little finger, saying disdainfully: "Noisy? When have you ever seen me mess around?

Or maybe you have taken it for granted to hurt someone from behind?

The dignified Third Hokage, wouldn't you really have such thoughts as a ditch rat? "

Facing the merciless words spoken by Uchiha Yusuke, Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

"Okay, okay, Uchiha Yusuke, actually we don't need to be so stiff. If you have any requests, you can just say it. However, let Naruto leave here first. He is not suitable here."

Mito Kadenyan stood up, trying to temporarily stabilize Uchiha Yusuke.

"Hahaha, are you compromising with me? Did you make something wrong? Compromise must be based on a situation where the strength of both parties is quite different. With your current status, are you worthy of negotiating a compromise with me?"

Uchiha Yusuke laughed loudly and spoke.

"you!"

Mito Kadenyan didn't expect Uchiha Yusuke to be so crazy!

They are the Konoha Four, the pinnacle of power, and the destruction of a top blood family is just a matter of a small meeting between the four of them.

But now, they are looked down upon like this? !

"Uchiha Yusuke, what do you want? The position of Hokage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke in a low voice.

Uchiha Yusuke is like a monster outside the rules. Ever since he appeared, he has not followed the rules at all.

But they couldn't disobey.

The disparity in power is too great.

"It's just a dispensable position, and you are the only one who treats me as a treasure."

"Besides, didn't Naruto make it very clear? I came with him to ask about his parents."

"Isn't it best for you to say this? After all, this child's father, Minato Namikaze, is the...Hokage after you!"

Uchiha Yusuke's tone suddenly became serious.

Naruto, on the other hand, had been blown out of his mind by Uchiha Yusuke's words.

My father...named Minato Namikaze?

Is it...Hokage?

How, how is it possible! ?

Naruto stared at Yusuke Uchiha with his big eyes, and then at Hiruzen Sarutobi who was standing there.

"Sandaime...Grandpa, teacher, is what he said true? My father, is he really the Fourth Hokage?"

In the end, Naruto threw the question to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his teeth so hard that he almost broke them.

How to answer this?

Say no?

Can it be useful?

He is not the only one who knows that Naruto is the son of Namikaze Minato. Even if he lies now, can Naruto believe it?

Tell the truth?

But what happens after the truth is told?How to explain to Naruto the reason for hiding his identity?

There are constant problems and constant troubles.

This may be the most difficult period Sarutobi Hiruzen has encountered since he became Hokage.

Even the previous ninja wars had never upset him to this extent.

The scene became quiet, but Naruto became more and more anxious.

Even though he was still a child, he felt this unusual atmosphere.

Uchiha Yusuke was not obviously anxious, but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression with great interest, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's really embarrassing. Will the Third Hokage fall into chaos because of a child's question?"

"Uchiha Yusuke, you guy!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen swore that he could no longer bear the urge to use the Ghoul Seal to die with the guy in front of him.

"Then, the ruler of Konoha, the lofty Third Hokage, please answer Naruto's question honestly."

Uchiha Yusuke pressed again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth and chose to compromise.

He couldn't die, if he died, Konoha's peace would be broken.

Therefore, even if he feels a little wronged, even if he is not understood by others, he must bear it silently and bear it.

So, he nodded.

He nodded under Naruto's gaze.

"My, my father is the Fourth Hokage?"

No matter how stupid Naruto was, he couldn't understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's nod.

For a time, thousands of emotions swept through Naruto's heart like a wave.

To tell the truth, he is just a child now.His thinking is simple and direct.

When I first heard that my father was actually the Fourth Hokage, I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited.

The Fourth Hokage was a hero who protected the village and was praised by everyone.

Such a figure turned out to be his father.

Naruto was very happy at first, but after he was happy, problems came to his mind.

Why does he, as the son of a hero, want to live the kind of life he had before?

Why do I have to receive glares and vicious words when I clearly haven't hurt anyone?

Why didn't anyone tell him that his father was a great man?

And why did the third-generation grandfather have to be forced by the teacher to admit this?

If the teacher didn't show up, how long would it take for him to know about his parents?

How long will it last for such a life where everyone is disgusted, disgusted, and even wishing that they would die?

"why?"

All the confusion and confusion were reduced to just three words at this moment.

"Naruto, listen to me, I hid your identity to protect you. Back then, your father sealed the Nine-Tails that was causing trouble in Konoha on you, making you the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. And the Jinchuriki, You are a very important person in every village. In order to prevent you from being assassinated by enemy villages, I had no choice but to conceal your identity."

While Naruto was emotionally involved, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already thought of this rhetoric.

"Is it to protect me?"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's sincere eyes, Naruto couldn't help but believe it.

"That's enough, I'm here, and I still want to fool my disciples with such words to fool fools, Sarutobi Hiruzen, are you looking down on me!"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel happy because of Naruto's wavering, a bolt of thunderous fury came out from Uchiha Yusuke.

"Protect Naruto? Protecting Naruto can't even guarantee the most basic material life? Do you still have to spread rumors about the demon fox in the village?"

"Demon Fox? Nine Tails?"

"People who understand don't understand immediately after hearing it? Is this called hiding one's identity?"

"What you are hiding is that Naruto is the son of Minato and the son of the Fourth Hokage, right?"

Uchiha Yusuke's remarks directly pulled Naruto out of his doubtful state.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his expression changed again!

"Third generation...grandpa?"

Naruto once again cast a confused look.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes dodge, not daring to look at Naruto.

Regarding the rumors about the demon fox, he couldn't go any further.

That was the first time someone who participated in the Kyuubi Rebellion mentioned that as a Hokage, if you want to explain it, you can actually explain it clearly.

However, because of selfishness, he did not explain.

But it's not like he didn't do anything. When the rumors were spreading, he issued a notice prohibiting the spread of rumors about this matter, and violators would be severely punished.

But what's the use of that?

A person's mouth is the most difficult to control, even if he is Hokage?

In the end, not only did he not stop this trend because of his own order, but it was like a piece of evidence that confirmed the authenticity of this matter.

Let more people believe that Naruto is the demon fox and the cause of the Nine-Tails Rebellion many years ago.

Stealing the chicken will result in losing the rice, that's what they say.

"Naruto... I'm sorry."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly.

This sigh also brought Naruto completely back to reality.

"teacher……"

Naruto pulled Uchiha Yusuke's clothes, a look of confusion on his face.

"Naruto, this is the second lesson I teach you. To become stronger, you must first strengthen your heart."

Uchiha Yusuke's cruel education method is obviously more than that.

"Speaking of which, there are actually quite a few people in the village who know that Naruto is Minato's child. While Naruto is here, Sandai, you might as well tell me how you warned those people? Keep them away from Naruto."

This wave, this wave is the fatal blow.

When Naruto heard this, he suddenly remembered the scene yesterday when Aunt Mikoto hugged him and cried.

It turns out that there are people who know that they are the sons of the Fourth Hokage?

Was it because the Third Generation...was it because the Third Generation warned him that he stayed away from him?

At this time, Naruto no longer regards the third generation as an old man worthy of respect!

"I was..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to explain, but suddenly realized that there was nothing to explain.

Uchiha Yusuke was here, so he was destined not to fool Naruto.

Besides, what Uchiha Yusuke said is indeed unquestionable.

"I, hey."

He could only sigh to cover up his embarrassment.

"Teacher, let's go, I don't want to stay here anymore."

Naruto gritted his teeth, he was angry and aggrieved.

"Is it no longer possible? Then let's do this for today. Let's go, Naruto. I'll tell you the truth behind your parents' death another day."

After Uchiha Yusuke finished speaking, he smiled slightly at the Konoha quartet.

Naruto, on the other hand, was shocked and his whole body was shaking.

He looked at Uchiha Yusuke stubbornly and said nothing.

The moment Naruto walked out of the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen clearly saw that pair of resentful eyes.
