Chapter 183 Minato, Please Listen to My Explanation!
"Big brother? You..."
Naruto was not stupid, and felt that something was wrong with the masked brother next to him.
The gravel on the surrounding roads floated under the high chakra pressure field, which showed the anger and terror of this big brother.
Fortunately, this pressure passed over Naruto perfectly.
"It's okay, I remembered something unpleasant."
Minato took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
No matter what, he couldn't explode in front of Naruto.
People's hearts are made of flesh, and no matter how kind and gentle Minato is, he will inevitably get angry when he sees his son being treated like this.
If Kushina was here, she would probably run away on the spot!
The kind that can't be stopped.
Fortunately, he and his wife died to protect the village, but a group of villagers treated Naruto like this...
Damn, what a bunch of thugs!
Dare to bully my son...
‘Bear it down, hold it back, it’s not entirely their fault. ’
'They also don't know that Naruto is their son...'
‘In the final analysis, it’s still a question of the third generation. What does that person want to do? ’
‘It seems that I need to go and have a chat with him later! ’
Minato decided secretly.
"Naruto, don't you hate those who are hostile to you?"
"Huh? A little bit at first. But there are also many good people in the village. There are Iruka-sensei, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru Choji, and the lustful Sento... They are all very good to me. ”
"Oh! There is also the new Hokage-sama. Although I thought he was a bad guy at first, he invited me to eat ramen. He shouldn't be too bad..."
"With them here, I think the village is pretty good."
"I will definitely become Hokage and protect the village!"
Naruto clenched his fists and clapped his hands, and said confidently.
It’s hard to imagine an orphan who is loved by no one but willing to love everyone, including the villagers who are hostile and reject him...
"Naruto, you..."
Minato moved slightly, not knowing how to describe the feeling in his heart.
It's sad, gratifying, and a bit sad.
As the Hokage, he naturally hopes that Naruto can also love the village and protect the village.
But as a father, it is unavoidable to feel a little sad when he sees his children being made things difficult for him without complaining or regretting.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Aren't you hungry? Come on, I'll treat you to a meal."
"What to eat?"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Hand-Pulled Noodle!"
"Okay, I'll treat you to some ramen. That's enough!"
"Really? Yeah!"
Naruto jumped for joy, there were indeed many good people in the village! This ANBU big brother is also a very good person!
"By the way, big brother, why do you care so much about me?"
"Well...because I know your parents..."
"Ah? Really? Then can you tell me about them? People in the village never tell me about my parents, not even the lustful immortal..."
Everyone obviously knows their own life experience, but they hide it from themselves and act as riddle men.
This in itself is very cruel to Naruto who longs for fatherly and motherly love.
"Are they hiding this from you?"
"That's right! Big brother, can't you tell me too?" Naruto was a little frustrated and seemed to have given up hope.
"It's okay, I can tell you!"
Minato affirmed.
Just kidding, who in this world can stop the Yondaime Minato?
When I tell my son about my life experience, who can have an opinion? Who dares to have an opinion?
"Really? That's great!"
Naruto was overjoyed and danced excitedly.
"Let's talk about your mother first. Your father will talk later..."
Minato was embarrassed to boast in front of his son, so he planned to talk to him about Kushina first.
"Yeah! What's my mother's name?"
"Kushina Uzumaki."
"Uzumaki? My last name is Uzumaki too!"
"Your name is Uzumaki Naruto?"
"yes!"
"..."
that's all.
The father and son walked towards Ichiraku Ramen while chatting.
Naruto also experienced unprecedented warmth and care.
…
More than half an hour later.
In the hinterland of Konoha, the Sarutobi clan's mansion covers a huge area.
In the patriarch's mansion.
In his old age, Hiruzen Sarutobi was guarding a jar of ashes in front of him, in a daze.
Yes, the jar contains the remaining ashes of his old buddy Shimura Danzo.
After all, he is his best friend who has been with him all his life. No matter how many bad things Danzo has done, this feeling is still there.
The older we get, the easier it is to miss the past.
This is probably why Sarutobi became more and more conniving with Danzo.
But in the final analysis, it was his own connivance that killed Danzo!
If I had prevented him from using Itachi to exterminate the Uchiha clan back then, and had not allowed him to secretly study the Sharingan, perhaps there would not have been the current tragedy.
At this moment, Sarutobi suddenly understood why Hashirama-sama had stopped him from researching forbidden arts.
Although the forbidden technique is good, it is too tempting.
People who lack self-control are more likely to indulge in abnormal power.
Finally go to destruction!
'Why……'
‘It’s too late to say this. Way to go, old man. ’
‘Everyone will remember your contribution to the village. ’
‘I will definitely find a way to avenge you! ’
Sarutobi secretly swore that he also began to take this so-called [Akatsuki] organization seriously.
"Dong dong——"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Enter."
Asuma pushed the door open and walked in, then knelt down behind Sarutobi.
"Father……"
"Xiaochun and the others are gone?"
"Yes, both Kaden-sama and Mitomon-sama have left."
"Why……"
Sarutobi sighed. He really wasn't in the mood to receive his two old friends now, so he could only ask Asuma to see them off for him.
"Father, it's my fault. I couldn't stop those two guys..."
Looking at his depressed father, Asma was also filled with guilt.
If he could have stopped Itachi and Kisame at that time, maybe Danzo-sama wouldn't have to die, and his father wouldn't be so sad.
It's all my fault that I'm too weak...
"Hey, I don't blame you."
Sarutobi turned to look at Asuma without blaming him.
He didn't know much about Kisame, but he knew Itachi's strength.
It should be said that after encountering these two people, Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were lucky to survive.
Most likely it was Weasel who let it slip.
To really force Asuma to defeat Itachi and the others would be nothing short of wishful thinking.
"Then father, what should I do next?"
"I heard that Orochimaru saved you and Yuhi Kurenai during the encounter?"
"Yes."
"Then take some time to thank him. Then work well under him. Accumulate more fame and strength, and take care of the whole clan."
Sarutobi Hiruzen warned earnestly.
He has two legitimate sons, the eldest son Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and the second son Sarutobi Asuma.
Originally, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had high hopes from Hiruzen and was arranged to be trained in the ANBU. His couple were even promoted to the positions of captain and deputy captain of the ANBU, and they were Hiruzen's powerful right-hand men.
He was also his original ideal successor to Hokage.
Unfortunately, they died accidentally during the mission, leaving their grandson Konohamaru an orphan.
There was no other way, so Sarutobi turned his attention to his second son, Asuma.
Unfortunately, due to his previous carelessness, Asuma was quite rebellious when he was young. Not only did he leave Konoha and go to the Land of Fire to hang out for many years, but he also became some kind of guardian of the twelve ninjas.
Even after returning to the village, he often did not do his job properly.
Fortunately, after the death of his eldest brother, he had matured a lot, and gradually understood Hiruzen's difficulties, and was arranged by him to join Konoha's close combat unit, becoming the captain.
Originally, if he stayed a few more years and accumulated some strength and prestige, he would still have a chance to run for Hokage.
In that case, it shouldn't be a problem for the Sarutobi clan to prosper for another few decades.
pity.
All arrangements were disrupted by Orochimaru's collapse plan...
Coupled with the support of the first and second generation adults, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to give up.
The plan to elevate Asuma to the position of Hokage was completely shattered.
However, after yesterday's incident, Sarutobi also opened his eyes a lot.
After all, Asuma is still a little worse. If he really wants to be the Hokage, it may not be a good thing.
Naruto still needs some strength!
Otherwise, if he could defeat any rebellious ninja, wouldn't he let Asuma die?
Danzo was crushed to pieces, let alone Asuma?
Why……
Living honestly is not a bad thing. Orochimaru still knows how to behave, and would not and would not bother to make things difficult for Asuma;
Just let him work under Orochimaru, there is no better choice at the moment.
"Father, I..."
"Asma, I have abdicated. The burden of the family's future will fall on you. Do you understand?"
"I see!"
Asuma nodded heavily, restrained his laziness, and began to seriously consider the future of himself and his family.
…
After a few minutes, Asma left the room.
Sarutobi was the only one left in the room again.
Why……
Why can't our Sarutobi clan produce a few more geniuses?
His grandson Konohamaru is quite talented and has a good relationship with Naruto, but unfortunately he is still too young...
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to stay up until today.
Sarutobi was still sighing in his heart.
But suddenly he noticed that a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door behind him.
Sarutobi immediately looked back.
He was actually a Konoha ninja wearing an ANBU mask.
'Anbu? ’
‘Come to find yourself? What happened to Orochimaru? ’
'Wait, this guy's hair color...'
'And this familiar chakra breath...'
Sarutobi's cloudy eyes slowly widened, as if he recognized Minato, so he became even more unbelievable.
"You, you are?..."
Masked Minato didn't respond, just stared at Sarutobi, not hiding his chakra and anger.
Then he bowed slightly as an apology for the next offense.
At this moment, he does not represent the Fourth Hokage, he is just a father seeking justice for his bullied son.
Seeing Minato bow, Sarutobi instantly understood something.
I was so anxious that I quickly shouted:
"Wait! Minato, listen to my explanation!"
Unfortunately it's too late.
A golden flash instantly tore through the air and appeared in front of Sarutobi.
Strike out with one punch.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, Sarutobi, whose style of painting changed drastically, was violently blown away.
It penetrated directly through several houses and hit the ground, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
…
