The "Nine-Tails Chaos" a few years ago is a scar that many people in Konohagakure Village don't want to mention, because the turmoil that year caused heavy casualties in the entire Konohagakure Village.
From what Jiraiya himself knew, at that time, the number of civilians who died in Konohagakure was as many as a thousand.
Even more ninjas died, as many as three hundred.
Even many Jonin of Konohagakure died, and it was the chaos of that night that caused Konohagakure Village to lose a lot of its backbone.
It hasn't recovered until today.
Jiraiya told everything he knew.
During this time.
He also mentioned that the reason why the Uchiha clan was gradually marginalized by Konohagakure Village was mainly because of the Nine-Tails Chaos that year, which made the high-levels of Konohagakure suspect that this matter was related to the Uchiha clan.
Jiraiya also mentioned Naruto's mother.
She is a great mother named "Uzumaki Kushina".
She is a member of the Uzumaki clan.
She is also the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Jiraiya also emphasized Namikaze Minato, Naruto's biological father.
He talked about how Minato dealt with the Nine-Tails Chaos, how he protected his wife and child, and finally sacrificed with his wife in that chaos.....
Jiraiya wanted to embellish a little for his disciple, so he could save some of his image as a father.
But Jiraiya thought carefully, instead of embellishing.....
It's better to tell the real truth.
Since Kakashi said that Naruto is now a relatively mature child, he should tell the truth and let Naruto judge for himself what kind of father his father is.
Anyway.....
Jiraiya thinks his disciple is not as bad as Naruto says.
After saying all this.
It has been more than half an hour.
The Anbu junior who was with Kakashi was stunned.
He is actually a new Anbu, and he doesn't know much about the secrets that many people in Konohagakure Village tacitly keep.
Did I hear a lot of things I shouldn't have heard today?
"Naruto... This is your biological father, Namikaze Minato, and your mother, Uzumaki Kushina. After they gave birth to you, they 'abandoned' you."
Speaking of his deceased disciple,
Jiraiya was also not in a good mood.
Jiraiya sighed: "I believe that neither Minato nor Kushina would want their child to become an orphan, but for the sake of the village and for you, they had no choice."
This was the first time Naruto heard about his life's secret from someone else.
It was also the first time he knew what happened on the day he was born.
"So..." Naruto's expression didn't fluctuate much, he suddenly said: "That Fourth Hokage named Namikaze Minato, did he and my mother Uzumaki Kushina die together? Did they... die at the hands of the big fox?"
"Big fox?" Jiraiya was taken aback, then reacted: "Oh! You mean the Nine-Tails? Indeed, that's the case. And both of them were pierced through by the claws of the Nine-Tails."
"So..."
Jiraiya said with a complex expression: "Naruto, it's not strange that your biological parents are not qualified parents. They didn't have time to show you their love as parents, and they sacrificed their lives for you and the future of the village."
'Big fox, is he telling the truth?' Naruto knew that when his emotions fluctuated greatly, his Observation Haki might not work well.
He couldn't judge whether Jiraiya had beautified anyone in it.
So he asked Kurama, the fox involved, in his heart.
To be honest.
Knowing that his parents died in Kurama's hands, Naruto had no resentment towards Kurama.
After all,
Jiraiya had just said... At that time, the Nine-Tails was suspected to be controlled by a mysterious person with Mangekyou Sharingan.
Kurama was just a part of being used.
"Tsk, that's indeed the case." Kurama's unhappy voice sounded: "Although I really hate your mother and hate your father even more... After all, those two bastards didn't cut off me and Kushina when they were in the same room... cough cough cough! Anyway, that Jiraiya didn't lie."
"How? Kid, do you resent the Nine-Tails for killing your biological parents and making you fall into ostracization?" Kurama's tone was a bit teasing.
It is, after all, a tailed beast.
Even if the relationship between it and Naruto has eased a bit.
But to make it understand Naruto?
That's purely wishful thinking.
The Nine-Tails has lived for so many years, how many miserable kids has it seen?
Naruto's life story.
It's just a small matter!
'No, I'm not the kind of unreasonable person who hates everything.' Naruto shook his head, he said to Kurama: 'What I should hate in my heart is the person who controlled you back then.'
"Heh! Kid..." Kurama found that this young kid was quite calm, if it were other kids, or even an adult, they would probably have been screaming by now.
The Nine-Tails most dislikes those humans who have large emotional fluctuations and always call out to the Nine-Tails.
From this point of view, Uzumaki Naruto, this kid, is indeed a... barely passable Jinchuriki.
Well, it's better than his violent and irritable mother.
Naruto's consciousness exited the Nine-Tails' seal space.
"But he is still not a qualified father in my heart, no matter how much you say, my thoughts will not change."
Naruto said, "Knowing all the truth will only make me have a little change in my opinion of him, at least, I found out he is not a completely bad person."
"A father who passed away on the first day of my life, no matter how much he said, I couldn't feel his fatherly love. Of course, lewd uncle, what you said is not useless."
"At least after you said it, I won't hate him."
"At least, he is a qualified ninja, maybe also a qualified husband. I don't know if he is a qualified Hokage, after all, in my opinion, a Hokage should not seal such a dangerous existence in a child."
"If this is the only compromise, then I would consider him a qualified Fourth Hokage. This is my impression of my biological father through your description, lewd uncle."
"Ha!" Naruto suddenly laughed out loud.
Even though his smile didn't have any bitterness, for some reason it made the people around him feel a surge of sourness in their hearts.
It made people feel empathetic.
"Uncle Kakashi, lewd uncle... don't worry! I won't hate them both."
Naruto put his hands behind his head and looked at the sun in the sky.
His eyes quickly started to hurt under the strong light of the sun.
But Naruto didn't care.
"When I found out that neither of them had wronged me, I had no reason to hate them, right? Perhaps at that time, they had done their best to protect me and the village. Perhaps without their sacrifice, I wouldn't be alive now."
"But..." Naruto smiled, "I won't miss them too much, because they indeed didn't accompany me to grow up, and didn't let me have a normal childhood that a normal child should have.
Naruto never wished that as the child of the Fourth Hokage, he could have a childhood that was admired and respected by others.
He has always just hoped that he could have a normal childhood, he just hoped that his biological parents could accompany him.
"What they did well, what they did not do well, I can tell very clearly. But, actually, it doesn't matter!"
Naruto wanted to put his hand in his pocket, only to find that he was not wearing clothes.
Only a bath towel covered the key parts.
Naruto smiled with his teeth showing, "Because I have my Pops now, that's enough for me."
"If your purpose, is just to make me change my view of my biological father, then you have indeed done it."
Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it seems that Naruto still doesn't have father-son feelings for Minato.
But there's no way, who made Minato really not accompany Naruto to grow up.
This is an unchangeable fact.
Even if he talked until his mouth off, he couldn't change this.
Being able to make Naruto clear that his biological father is not so unbearable.
Jiraiya feels that he has done his best.
He is not ashamed of his disciple.
"But..." Suddenly, Naruto's tone changed a bit, "While I have changed my view of my biological father, I have also changed my view of some people in the village."
"Hmm?" Jiraiya suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Grandpa Hokage, as the Third Hokage, doesn't he know that I am the son of the Fourth Hokage? Since my biological father and mother chose to sacrifice their lives to save the village, then I should also be considered the son of two heroes of Konohagakure, right?"
"My biological father also sealed the big fox in my body, then I should also be considered the secret weapon of Konohagakure Village, right? I heard Uncle Kisame say that every village's Jinchuriki is a very special and very valuable existence in a village."
"Whether it's the son of a hero or the son of a Hokage, or a Jinchuriki... any of these identities should not make me experience such a childhood, right?"
"From the day I remembered, I was sent to a small house, from that day on, I needed to live alone."
Memories flashed in Naruto's eyes.
He remembered that he was living alone when he was only three years old.
This is a memory in Naruto's mind.
"I still remember that I was very uneasy at that time, even a little afraid of the unfamiliar environment. I was looking forward to having many kind uncles, aunts, and neighbors who could take care of me a little. The care I needed was not a gift, as long as they had a little affection for me, and then when we met, we could greet each other."
"But everything I expected did not happen, what greeted me were pairs of cold eyes, and even their curses at that time, all the people I could see were ostracizing me."
"I wanted to buy something, but no one was willing to sell it to me."
Naruto rubbed his stomach.
"It was not easy for someone to be a little impatient with me, and then I could buy a few boxes of milk from them. When I bought the milk, I didn't dare to drink it quickly, because I didn't know when I could buy milk next time."
"Every time I opened a box of milk... I would drink it carefully, and I could drink a box of milk for two or three days. As a result, I accidentally let the milk I bought expire... haha, it's a bit embarrassing."
Naruto scratched his head embarrassingly.
Before he met Pops, he often drank expired milk, and then started to have a stomachache, causing a lot of trouble.
Thinking about it now, it's indeed a bit embarrassing.
"But... should all this happen to me, the son of the Fourth Generation?" Naruto's face showed a bit of confusion as he restrained his smile.
He pondered for a moment.
And soon shook his head.
"No, even if I'm not the son of the Fourth Generation, even if I'm not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, even if my mother is not the previous Jinchuriki, all of this should not happen to a child."
Naruto spoke firmly and forcefully: "If I were the Hokage of Konohagakure, I would not let any child be ostracized. If this happens, I would doubt whether I am a qualified Hokage, or even a good person."
In the process of speaking, Naruto sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind.
"All of this..., Grandpa Hokage actually knows, right? He even knows it better than anyone else, right?"
Naruto looked seriously at Jiraiya in front of him.
"Perverted old man, is Grandpa Hokage... a good person in the way he handled this matter?"
"Is he a good Hokage?"
He actually asked these two questions.
Jiraiya was stunned.
"Ahaha! Of course, that old man is a good Hokage, maybe... cough, maybe his approach is a bit inappropriate."
Jiraiya, who said this, felt his face a bit hot.
"...the old man... he..." Naruto's gaze fell on Jiraiya, making Jiraiya sigh constantly in his heart.
'Old man, you're really stupid... Do you have to use this method to establish a bond with the Jinchuriki?'
Jiraiya squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile: "Naruto, if you want to blame someone, blame me, Minato's teacher! From our relationship... I should be considered your great teacher."
"When Minato and Kushina passed away, in theory, as a great teacher, I should be the one who should take on the responsibility of taking care of and raising you."
"I'm sorry, Naruto."
Naruto shook his head: "Perverted old man, you didn't answer my question directly, you only said that Grandpa Hokage is a good Hokage, and your tone of speech is very hesitant. I assume that Grandpa Hokage is indeed a good Hokage. Then is he... a good person to me, to Uzumaki Naruto?"
"Is... is... right?" Jiraiya wished he could slap himself a few times, and even wanted to find the Third Hokage on the spot and scold him for his approach.
Jiraiya was a bit tongue-tied at this time.
"The old man... maybe he's a bit old. Some things are indeed not as good as when he was young. Many people get older, and their ideas change with age."
"Maybe... maybe, personality can change with age. But, but he's not a bad person."
Jiraiya tried to say something nice about his teacher.
But he found that he was the least qualified to speak well of the Third Hokage.
If he had stayed in the village at that time.
Would Naruto still be bullied and ostracized?
If he was by Naruto's side and found out that the old man wanted to establish an inseparable bond with Naruto in this way, he probably would have taken Naruto away long ago.
Jiraiya opened his mouth.
He knew that all the thoughts that flashed through his mind were hindsight.
He fell silent.
"I understand." Naruto's face was smiling, but two lines of hot tears flowed out: "So, this is the real Third Hokage."
"Grandpa Hokage," this affectionate title.
Has been completely crossed out.
"Naruto..." Kakashi, who had been silent for a long time, spoke: "As Minato-sensei's disciple, I witnessed all this happening, but I didn't stop it... I'm not qualified to apologize to you, but I still want to say I'm sorry."
Actually, at that time, Kakashi, because of his father's death, had already closed himself off and had a death wish.
But Kakashi still wanted to apologize to Naruto.
Because at that time, Naruto had just started to remember things, but what he needed to bear was almost the same as Kakashi.
Kakashi felt a little guilty.
Naruto wiped the tears from his face.
"It doesn't matter!" He dispelled the few layers of gloom in his heart: "Actually, if all this didn't happen, maybe I wouldn't have met Pops, and I wouldn't have become Pops' son."
Naruto sniffed and laughed freely: Bbig sister Fuushi once said, don't beautify a road you haven't walked, maybe that road is not as good as now!"
"After knowing so much, I can also let go of some psychological burdens. I originally thought that giving the Third Hokage that surprise would be too much? What if I scared him?"
"Now it seems, it's not too much at all."
Naruto said astonishingly: "If he deliberately watched all of this to happen, even if I end his life, I think what I did is not too much."
Jiraiya: "....."
Kakashi: "....."
The Anbu junior who was with Kakashi was all going to be stupefied.
The sentence said by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, should he, or should he not, relay it to Hokage-sama?
Suddenly
A hand was placed on his shoulder.
The Anbu junior swallowed a mouthful of saliva in the dark, turned his head mechanically, and found that it was Kakashi-senpai's hand.
Then, he heard Kakashi-senpai's voice, weak as a mosquito, echoing: "Yamanaka Seiya... did you hear what Naruto just said?"
"Yamanaka Seiya," this name, Kakashi said in a normal tone, but the sentence behind it was very low.
Yamanaka pawnshop turned pale.
Kakashi-senpai directly revealed his name.
If he relayed everything the Jinchuriki said to Hokage-sama.
"Could it be... could it be that I will be retaliated against by the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"Is Kakashi-senpai a bit too dark?"
"And this bias is too obvious, isn't it!"
With a pat...
Another big hand was placed on the right shoulder of Yamanaka pawnshop, and Jiraiya's loud voice rang out: "The kid learned so much today, it's inevitable that there will be some emotional fluctuations, and then some childish words will be said, right?"
Yamanaka Seiya: "....."
"...Yes, yes."
Who would have thought that an Anbu ninja would be so unimpressive.
And who would have thought that one of the sannin would stand on the side of the Jinchuriki.
Could it be that Hokage is not popular?
"I..."
Wearing an Anbu mask, He pulled out a reluctant smile.
"I didn't hear anything."
