"Isn't this too strong?" The Twelve Guardian Ninja on the viewing platform were dumbfounded.
"Kurenai Sensei!!" Several members of Team Kurenai couldn't help but burst into tears, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they looked at Naruto.
"This must be a genjutsu, right?"
"It can't be possible. Did he really defeat so many high-level shinobi in an instant?"
"This must be fake. How can this monster be so powerful?" Terrified voices filled the platform, and countless villagers began to panic and flee.
There were even curses in their mouths: "Damn Uzumaki Naruto, damn monster. Indeed, no matter the world, he's a monster."
"It's all because of Uzumaki Naruto that we attracted such a terrifying person!"
Hearing the curses, Uzumaki Naruto's expression turned gloomy.
He had worked hard for over a decade, thinking that he had gained everyone's recognition.
But he never expected such malice to be deeply ingrained.
"This damn Uzumaki Naruto, don't listen! They're just angry words spoken in the heat of the moment." Upon hearing their comrade being cursed like that, Sasuke and Sakura's eyes emitted a dangerous aura.
"Listen, Uzumaki Naruto, this is the malice the village holds towards you." Faced with everything, Naruto wore a confident smile on his lips as he spoke softly.
Looking at the somewhat confused Uzumaki Naruto, Naruto continued, "I have endured all of this, just like you. The difference is, I have broken free from the control, while you still live in a predetermined illusion. Do you know that the Sandaime Hokage, the one you always trusted, is one of the masterminds behind your dark childhood?"
Feeling the skeptical gazes around him, the Sandaime Hokage became anxious and quickly shouted, "Don't believe what he says. He is an enemy of Konoha."
He inwardly lamented.
What had his otherworldly self done to make this Naruto bear such animosity towards Konoha?
"That's right, he is the enemy who killed Sensei Kurenai." The members of Team Kurenai gnashed their teeth, filled with hatred.
At these words, everyone's gaze once again turned to hatred towards Naruto.
Naruto paid no attention to it. He chuckled lightly, and with a graceful movement of Kyōka Suigetsu in his hand, blood dripped down. "You know nothing about the darkness within Konoha."
His gaze fell on Sasuke, and he said teasingly, "Do you really think Itachi alone could wipe out the Uchiha clan?"
As the words fell, Sasuke instantly became enraged!
"Do not mention that person's name. Damn it, Chidori!!!" He approached Naruto, Chidori in hand.
Naruto effortlessly grabbed Sasuke's wrist, and in the flickering light, he revealed a gentle smile, leaning towards Sasuke's ear and whispering words that only the two of them could hear:
"Itachi's annihilation of the Uchiha clan has another reason. Itachi alone cannot achieve such a feat. By the way, Itachi is now a renegade Jonin of the Akatsuki organization. The Sasuke in my world already has the strength of a high-level shinobi."
Naruto let go of Sasuke's hand. Sasuke's eyes were vacant, and the Chidori in his hand went out. He stood in place, allowing Naruto to walk past him, his mind echoing Naruto's words.
"Then, Sandaime Hokage, are you going to stand in my way too?" Naruto leisurely approached the Sandaime Hokage while saying.
The Sandaime Hokage's forehead was covered in a dense layer of sweat without him realizing it.
He never expected a teenager to put such pressure on him.
The last time he felt this way was when he faced his own teacher, the Second Hokage.
It was hard to imagine that Naruto, at such a young age, possessed the strength of a Kage.
Even harder to accept was that this Naruto turned out to be an enemy of Konoha.
In the middle of the Chunin Exams, an unexpected incident occurred.
Over a dozen high-level shinobi were defeated within seconds, a blow to Konoha's reputation like never before.
If even he, the Hokage, were to be defeated...
Then Konoha would be finished.
The Sandaime Hokage's mind raced, trying to gather more information from Naruto's previous actions.
Despite standing still, the attacks from the high-level shinobi not only failed to hit Naruto, but they even attacked their own teammates.
Was this a genjutsu?
Did Naruto possess such a powerful genjutsu that affected a group of people?
Amidst all the gazes, the Sandaime Hokage decisively discarded his Hokage robe, revealing his tight-fitting suit, and his voice became resolute and powerful.
"Naruto, I don't know what has happened to you, what misunderstandings you have towards Konoha, but as the Hokage of Konoha, it is my duty to protect everyone. Even if I die in battle today, I will never let you harm Uzumaki Naruto."
In this critical moment, the Sandaime Hokage did not forget to display his "charismatic personality."
"Grandpa Sandaime Hokage." Uzumaki Naruto was moved to tears as he looked at him, his eyes filled with both hatred and anger towards Naruto.
"Lord Hokage, kill this monster!" The crowd on the platform was filled with indignation, shouting angrily.
The bloody scene in the field stimulated everyone's senses.
Life was so fleeting.
"It seems to be getting more interesting." Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, sat composedly on the platform, a smirk on his face.
Gaara had also stopped, returning to the platform. His gaze towards Naruto was filled with dread.
"You all, take Uzumaki Naruto and leave quickly. I'll handle things here!" The Sandaime Hokage shouted loudly.
The remaining ninjas and the Twelve Guardian Ninja quickly escorted the pained Naruto to retreat.
However, strangely enough, in the Sandaime Hokage's eyes, they were still circling around the entire field.
Coupled with their anxious expressions and words, everything felt eerie.
"What kind of ability is this?" Different from those under control, the Sandaime Hokage and Orochimaru were 'VIP' customers and could see what they thought was reality.
"Genjutsu?" Orochimaru's snake-like pupils contracted as he muttered to himself with trepidation.
The Sandaime Hokage's eyes were filled with shock, and he marked Naruto as his target to kill.
"What kind of genjutsu is this??"
Naruto didn't answer. His expression was cold, and his eyes were arrogantly wild.
At this moment, he felt a sense of exhilaration.
Having hidden in Konoha for over a decade, enduring all kinds of malice, an ordinary person would have long since collapsed and become deranged.
But he hadn't.
He had persevered until now.
Finally, in this different world, he revealed his true self.
This battle could also be seen as a test of Konoha's power.
The difference between this world and the other world was just the addition of Tsunade to Konoha's forces.
If he could easily defeat powerful individuals like the Sandaime Hokage in this world, then his plan would be foolproof.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" The Sandaime Hokage didn't dare to be careless and directly used Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
"Sandaime Hokage, why would you think of using Kuchiyose no Jutsu on me? Who is the enemy this time?" "It's him."
"Him? Hey?! This kid is so young!" Enma looked at Naruto in surprise.
The familiar golden hair and handsome face, but the coldness on his face was a bit dazzling.
This face...
"Not bad, he is the son of Minato." Seeing Enma's confusion, the Sandaime Hokage nodded.
"How could it be? How could Minato's son become an enemy of Konoha?" Enma was suddenly speechless, looking surprised.
"He is Naruto from another world, be careful." The Sandaime Hokage said solemnly.
Enma immediately became cautious and serious.
"Minato? Yondaime Hokage? I am the son of the Yondaime Hokage? Why didn't the Sandaime Hokage ever tell me?" Approaching the edge of the field, Naruto stopped retreating, looking despairing.
Even the way he addressed the Sandaime Hokage had changed.
Other ninjas also looked shocked.
The Yondaime Hokage sealed the Kyubi with his life, but his son Naruto was met with the villagers' malice.
The son of a hero being treated like this is just too heart-wrenching.
No wonder... why Naruto would speak to Uzumaki Naruto like that before.
Could it be true?
Was Naruto's past all planned out just for better control?
Sandaime Hokage, how can you face Minato like this?
The ninja on the stands, the Twelve Guardian, looked at the Sandaime Hokage who was still casually chatting, and their trust in him gradually collapsed.
"Such a terrible genjutsu, not only manipulating Naruto, making them unable to leave the field, but also manipulating the Sandaime Hokage, making him think that no one could hear or see what was happening." Orochimaru's eyes were full of fear.
He wasn't even sure if what he was seeing was real or what Naruto wanted him to see.
Feeling completely controlled would awaken the deep-seated fear in people.
