Forced to sell misery

"Stay away from Naruto-kun!"

Suddenly, several kunai stabbed at him. Obito's hand paused, his body became empty, and those kunai strangely passed through his body.

Although they were not good at fighting, there were still several Sealed Ninjas holding kunai and blocking Naruto.

"Oh, why are you stopping me? If you hate the power of the Nine-Tails so much..." Obito was forced back and said meaningfully.

"What are you talking about, asshole—"

"How could the one we are trying to protect... be something like the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..." said the Sealed Ninja who was standing in front of Naruto.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...are you talking about him?

Naruto lowered his head, and he remembered the bastard fox named Kurama that he had seen...

"The one we want to protect--" The Sealed Ninja clenched the kunai in his hand, looked at Obito with a firm look, and said word by word, "is the son of the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

……

I'll leave Naruto to you..."

……

Everyone remembered the trust the Fourth Hokage had given them before he left.

"That's right, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself for the village... How can we tolerate people like you hurting his son again--" More people stood up!

They were armed with weapons... whether it was a kunai or a short sword, or even medical instruments, scalpels and microscopes...

They picked up the things at hand that could barely be called weapons, and looked at Obito who was about to attack Naruto with fearless eyes.

This is the rear of the battlefield, so most of the people left here are technicians, not ninjas who are good at fighting.

But, they... all of them, seemed to be ignited by some special emotion -

The will to fight for the village, for Hokage-sama... for everything you want to protect!

The Will of Fire that they are so proud of!

"Everyone..." Naruto looked at these uncles and aunts in surprise...

They were all strangers that he had never seen before... However, these people stood in front of him without hesitation, blocking the enemy who was about to attack him...

Because he is the son of the Fourth Hokage, he is the Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha, not the reincarnation of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, nor is he the Nine-tailed Jinchūriki that is called a weapon...

"Father..." Naruto clenched his hands. In front of his eyes, the man wearing the "Fourth Hokage" Hokage robe and with the same blond hair as himself seemed to appear again. He was his father - the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!

"Take Naruto-kun away, the others cover!"

"Yes!"

The smoke bomb exploded, obscuring everyone's vision.

"Naruto-kun is left to you!" the leader of the sealing team turned around and said to the people around him.

"I understand." The medical-nin closest to Naruto nodded, picked up Naruto and ran away.

"Naive." Although he was shocked by what happened before his eyes, Obito reacted quickly.

Disappearing from the spot, the next moment, Obito appeared behind the medical ninja who was running away with Naruto in his arms.

"what--"

A splash of blood spread out, and the medical-nin screamed and rolled to the ground, but he still held Naruto in his arms.

"Give me the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki." Obito took back the blood-stained kunai in his hand.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The medical-nin was pierced in the waist and back, injuring his internal organs. He coughed up blood and barely opened one eye to look at Obito, saying intermittently, "Come here... I, I will hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to you..."

"You're just a despicable person who can only talk big." Obito looked at the medical-nin in front of him with contempt and slowly walked towards him.

"for you……"

The moment Obito approached, a look of determination and satisfaction appeared on the face of the medical ninja, and he handed Naruto in his arms to him——

"burst!"

A blinding white light appeared——

"Absolutely not allowed..." The medical ninja suddenly laughed, "You hurt the son of the Fourth Hokage!"

With a bang, Naruto in the medical-nin's arms turned into a piece of wood, and several detonating tags attached to the wood were already burning -

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

The medical nin laughed loudly and said his last words -

Then, the blinding light from the explosion covered everything...

The explosion stopped.

Appearing intact at the original place, Obito looked at the Konoha medical ninja who used him as bait to delay time and let the real Naruto leave, and wanted to use the detonating tag to die with him, "To have done this..."

It seems... he underestimated the prestige and influence of the Fourth Hokage Minato in the village.

"You are truly worthy of me, Minato-sensei..."

……

"Yusuke!" The medical-nin who actually escaped with Naruto looked back at the huge explosion in the distance and roared in grief and anger.

"uncle……"

"It's okay...Naruto," looking at Naruto's head sticking out of his arms, Kirihara Yukawa forced a reassuring smile.

"Thank you." Naruto looked at the uncle in front of him, tears faintly glistening in his big blue eyes. This was one of the few times he clearly felt the kindness of others.

"Don't be afraid, we will definitely protect you--"

"Get out of the way!" Sasuke, who was following behind the two of them, keenly sensed the danger and pushed Kirihara Yukawa away from where he was.

The kunai that suddenly shot out from the distorted space brushed past Kirihara Yukikawa's neck—

Obito's figure appeared mysteriously!

"Hurry up!" After taking a deep look at Kirihara Yukikawa, Sasuke rushed towards Obito -

He thought of the Seventh Hokage who was respected by everyone in his previous life.

Naruto, this is the person you always wanted to protect...

And they are indeed worthy of your protection!

But... now, it's time for us to protect you!

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique" Sasuke quickly formed a seal and spit out a huge fireball from his mouth.

As long as I can delay a little bit... just a little bit!

Suddenly, Sasuke was hit in the abdomen by a fist. His breathing stagnated. When he raised his eyes, he saw Obito who appeared in front of him unharmed by the piercing fireball!

"Cough, cough, cough..." After being knocked away by a punch, Sasuke fell to the ground and became motionless.

"You bastard!" Kirihara Yukawa was shocked - how cruel it was, to even do that to a 7-year-old child...

"Wood Release·The Art of Cutting"

However, the next second, Obito appeared behind Kirihara Yukikawa and slapped him with his palm -

So fast... there's no way to avoid it!

Kirihara Yukawa's expression twisted, and plant-like wooden strips suddenly grew out of his body!

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Kirihara Yukawa was killed!

Naruto fell out of Kirihara Yukawa's arms and fell to the ground, looking at his uncle who had just smiled at him and said that he would definitely protect him, and now died in front of him with a distorted face!

"Now that we have cleared out the troublesome scum, then..." Obito walked slowly towards Naruto who was lying on the ground, "Then I will take the Fourth Hokage's legacy away."

"You--" Naruto's pupils trembled, reflecting the appearance of the demon in front of him who hurt Sasuke and killed the uncle who protected him.

"You bastard--" he roared at Obito angrily, his widened pupils revealing a scarlet color!

Invisible airflow dissipated, and red chakra overflowed from Naruto's body!
