Naruto under the bamboo forest

The next morning was the day when funerals were held for those who died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Among them, the portrait of the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was placed in the middle.

The crowd of villagers and ninjas in black uniforms grew larger and larger, wanting to see their Hokage-sama one last time. No one spoke, everyone walked dullly. Occasionally, when they met an acquaintance, they just nodded lightly, which was regarded as saying hello. A sad atmosphere enveloped the entire village. The Fourth Hokage left. Where should the weakened village go?

Ryūha stood in front of the crowd, looking at the portraits of Namikaze Minato and Kushina, biting her lips, her eyes filled with reluctance. Behind Liu Yu were the children of the Kusanagi clan. Like Liu Yu, each of them had sadness written on their faces. Namikaze Minato is fulfilling his responsibilities as the acting chief of the Kusasen clan, and every child of the Kusasen clan is grateful to them.

"Ta-ta-----"

The sky began to become gloomy, and gradually, raindrops hit everyone present, but no one cared about the rain.

Liuyu lowered his head and took a look at Naruto in his arms. Naruto seemed very quiet at this moment, neither crying nor fussing, silently looking at the photo of Namikaze Minato in Liuyu's arms.

Perhaps due to the blood connection, the infant Naruto also looked very sad looking at the photo of Minato in front of him, but he did not cry out to break the tranquility of the place.

At the funeral, many people looked at the yellow-haired child in Liu Yu's arms with some confusion. It was obvious that this baby was not a member of the Cao Qian clan. On the one hand, there are no adult members of the Caoqian clan at the moment, and the new generation of the Caoqian clan has not yet been born. On the other hand, the baby's hair is blonde, while the Kusachi clan's hair is the signature emerald green.

"Who is this child?"

At the other end of the crowd, Nara Shikaku had already guessed a rough idea after taking a look at the child in Ryūha's arms. With his golden hair and Ryūha's identity, this child should be the orphan of the fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

After the funeral, Liu Yu held little Naruto in his arms and prepared to return to the base of the Kusachi clan. Along the way, she could feel the curiosity of the people around her about the child in her arms. Namikaze Minato's identity as the acting head of the Sosen clan, his own identity as the captain of the Shadow Guard, and the fact that Naruto has the same golden hair color as Namikaze Minato, can easily make people think of him as the fourth generation son of Naruto.

And this is exactly the effect Liu Yu wants. In the original work, the main reason for Naruto's miserable childhood was that the identity of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was known to the whole village. The villagers blamed Naruto for the disaster that the village suffered, and the heroic son of Naruto The identity is unknown.

Last night, the Third Hokage classified this matter as top secret and prohibited anyone from telling it. However, in the original work, the news that the Nine-Tails was sealed in Naruto's body quickly spread throughout the village.

There must be someone behind this, and the first person Ruyu suspected was Shimura Danzo. As a high-ranking official in Konoha, it is very easy for this guy to know the identity of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Although it is not clear what his motive was for revealing the identity of Naruto's Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, it is possible that, like Rasa, he wanted to see if Naruto could suppress his emotions and control the Kyuubi. In short, Ryuyu is now very defensive towards Danzo.

Naruto was entrusted to him by Kushina, and Ryūha made up his mind to take good care of Naruto and never let him repeat the tragedy in the original work, and to prevent Danzo from using Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Ruiyu’s top priority. If the identity of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is really revealed by Danzo, Ryūha would not mind revealing the identity of Naruto's fourth son.

Regarding Naruto's surname, Ryuyu planned to let Naruto follow his father's surname of Namikaze, but the Third Hokage rejected Ryuyu's proposal and asked Naruto to take Kushina's surname of Uzumaki. Ryūha originally wanted to argue with the Third Hokage, but after Kakashi shook his head, he finally accepted the Third Hokage's arrangement.

In his previous life, many people discussed why the Third Hokage chose to conceal the identity of Naruto's fourth son, causing him to suffer criticism from the villagers. One of the main opinions is that Namikaze Minato has made too many enemies, and the third Hokage did not reveal the identity of Naruto's fourth son in order to protect Naruto.

However, Ryūha felt that this view was not valid. In terms of enemies, the Third Hokage had no fewer enemies than Namikaze Minato. But Konohamaru, as the third generation grandson, had a happy childhood and had a personal teacher like Ebisu.

What's more, after Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is revealed, the potential threats he faces are no less than those of Naruto's fourth-generation son. Ruiyu couldn't guess the Third Hokage's plan, so he could only prepare himself. If Minato's old enemies still come to visit after the identity of Naruto's fourth son is revealed, as Naruto's de facto guardian, she will stop it all.

"that"

Just as Liuyu was returning with the clan members who had attended the funeral, a little girl timidly stopped her.

"Um?"

Liuyu had been thinking about how to deal with Naruto's matter, so he didn't notice the little girl before, and didn't react until the little girl made a sound. Liu Yu was stunned when he saw the little girl's appearance. The little girl was dressed in black gauze and had obviously just attended the funeral.

Kusachi Yuta handed Naruto to one side and motioned for him to return with his clan members first. Then he turned to look at Uchiha Izumi and asked softly: "What's the matter? Kogu Ryo."

"Well, Master Liuyu, thank you very much for your help last night."

Seeing Liu Yu turn his head, Uchiha Izumi bowed respectfully and thanked him. It was only then that Liu Yu remembered that this little girl was the Uchiha girl he saved yesterday. He was rescued together with Itachi and Sasuke. If his memory is correct, this little girl should be Izumi Uchiha!

"You're welcome. We are all part of Konoha."

Liuyu waved his hand gently to indicate that he didn't need to worry. This child lost his parents during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and was killed and lost his eyes by Obito on the night of the Uchiha genocide. He is also a miserable person! Seeing the child's reserved look, coupled with similar experiences, made Liu Yu feel full of pity for the child.

Hearing what Liu Yu said, Uchiha Izumi also raised her head and stared at Liu Yu with her big watery black eyes.

"You don't need to call me Sir, I'm not much older than you, just call me Sister Liuyu."

Out of a similar tragic experience, Liu Yu said softly.

"Well! Sister Liuyu, thank you!"

Hearing what Liu Yu said, Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but smile, and then shouted sweetly.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion ended, the top priority before Konoha was to elect a new Hokage to lead the village.

Just like in the original work, during the new Hokage election, Danzo originally wanted to step out of the background and realize his Hokage dream, but Sarutobi stepped forward to interrupt his fantasy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi came out again and asked to resume his duties as Hokage. At this moment, the two elders Koharu Koharu and Mito Kadeni also expressed their approval for Sarutobi to resume his duties as Hokage.

Soon, in the jounin vote, almost all members approved Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage. Next, he only needs to go to the City of Fire to obtain the daimyo appointment, and Sarutobi Hiruzen can become Hokage again.

PS: Izumi Uchiha comes from the official novel "Naruto: Itachi True Story: Dark Night" and was animated by the TV team. She died at the hands of Itachi in the novel, but Itachi allowed her to live a happy life with him in Tsukuyomi. In the anime, he died at the hands of Obito.
