At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto was already in tears.
He couldn't believe, or even dare to believe, that his father was the Fourth Hokage of the village.
If his father was the Fourth Hokage, why did no kids ever play with him? Why did the shop owner chase him away when he tried to buy a mask?
He couldn't cook and had to live on instant noodles.
Even when the milk was about to expire, no one reminded him.
If the Fourth Hokage was really his father, why was he treated like this?
Naruto's heart sank, and he went to the place where the Nine-Tails was sealed.
"Little brat, tear off this seal, and let's cause some trouble together."
The Nine-Tails had never been so excited.
Seeing the magical light curtain inside Naruto's body, it thought it would never have a chance to break free from its cage.
But now, with the revelation that Namikaze Minato was Naruto's father, it saw an opportunity.
If Naruto could tear off the seal on the sealed door, the Nine-Tails could break free and be free to do whatever it wanted.
What? You said Naruto was with the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, the Third Hokage, and Orochimaru?
The Nine-Tails didn't think much of them.
In the entire ninja world, it only respected Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama from back then.
"Yes, that's right. As long as you tear off this piece of paper, we can work together to get rid of these hypocritical people."
The Nine-Tails tempted Naruto, using its chakra to poison his heart.
As Naruto reached for the seal, Jiraiya and the others finally noticed something was wrong with him.
"Damn, the Kyuubi's seal is weakening."
"Jiraiya, you better think of something."
Naruto's face grew darker as the air pressure around him dropped.
Jiraiya, acting quickly, used the Four Symbols Seal to counteract the situation.
"Hmm."
During the Chunin Exams, Orochimaru used the Five Elements Seal on Naruto to block the Nine-Tails' chakra.
After Jiraiya returned to the village and officially took Naruto as his apprentice, he removed the Five Elements Seal to help Naruto better use the Nine-Tails' chakra.
At this point, Jiraiya, now the Fifth Hokage, used the Four Symbols Seal instead of the Five Elements Seal, considering that Naruto would need this power in the future.
Additionally, Naruto had two layers of the Four Symbols Seals, also known as the Eight Trigrams Seals, set up by Kushina.
Jiraiya was only reinforcing these seals now, which would not harm Naruto's body.
As soon as Jiraiya successfully reinforced the Four Symbols Seal, Naruto's consciousness, which had been outside the Nine-Tails' cage, was suddenly pulled back.
Seeing Naruto's consciousness being pulled away, the Nine-Tails was enraged.
"Damn it, it was so close."
"Damn Jiraiya."
"Damn Third Hokage."
"Don't let me out. Once I'm out, I'll turn Konoha into a river of blood!"
Jiraiya and the others couldn't hear the Nine-Tails' roar.
Seeing Naruto in a coma, Jiraiya created a shadow clone and said, "I'll take him back first."
"Let him rest well."
Jiraiya's shadow clone took Naruto away, and Sasuke was left feeling unsettled.
He, like Naruto, had many questions.
The biggest one was, if the Fourth Hokage was Naruto's father, why was Naruto treated this way by the village?
Seeing the Third and Fifth Hokages' nervousness earlier, could it be because of the monster inside Naruto?
What kind of monster could turn the son of a hero into someone everyone wanted to kill?
The Nine-Tails?
Is that the monster's name?
The more Sasuke thought about it, the more he felt something was off.
He looked at Orochimaru, hoping to get an answer from his teacher.
"Don't be impatient, Sasuke-kun. Use your eyes and brain to think. One day you'll find the answer."
Orochimaru was as usual, not giving Sasuke a direct answer but letting him figure it out on his own.
Sasuke accepted this.
He was confident in himself, and if Orochimaru wouldn't tell him, he would find the answer himself.
After Naruto left, the Third Hokage said to Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage: "Jiraiya, do you think Naruto could be the Child of Prophecy you've been searching for?"
"How could that be possible?"
Jiraiya was about to argue, but he suddenly thought it might not be impossible. After all, the screen had said that Naruto was the protagonist of this story. And the Great Toad Sage had mentioned that he would become the teacher of the Child of Prophecy. Coincidentally, Naruto was also his student.
"Think about it carefully."
The Third Hokage patted Jiraiya on the shoulder, took a puff of his cigarette, and continued to watch the screen.
[After Kushina became pregnant, Minato arranged for Kakashi to protect his wife.]
[When Kakashi found out that his respected teacher Minato was having a child, he put aside his usual gloomy demeanor and visited the cemetery to clean the graves and remember his teammates. He also shared this happy news with them when no one else was around.]
[However, the masked man, who was actually Obito, overheard this.]
Third Hokage: "I said Kushina's due date was top secret. It turns out Kakashi leaked it. Oh dear, what a mess~~~ woooooo~~~~"
[At this time, Obito, who had been brainwashed by Uchiha Madara, planned to create a dream world by collecting the tailed beasts.]
Tobirama: "Well, it seems this guy's intelligence is really problematic."
Hiruzen: "Yes, yes, hasn't he noticed anything wrong after all these years?"
Kagami: "Obito really lowered the IQ of the Uchiha clan."
[Obito then stood in opposition to Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.]
[A month later, on the day Naruto was born, Minato cried tears of joy.]
[It was also the day Kushina was at her weakest as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.]
[Obito, aiming for the Nine-Tails, used Kamui to bypass Konoha's barrier, preparing to attack and take advantage of the situation.]
[Obito easily defeated everyone present except Minato, including the Third Hokage's wife, Biwako.]
[He kidnapped Naruto to threaten Minato and shouted, "You must leave the Jinchūriki immediately, or I'll scatter Naruto and his ashes in one minute."]
At the same time, the Nine-Tails seal on Kushina was still incomplete and unstable.
Obito then left little Naruto behind and used a tactic to distract Minato.
Minato had no choice but to hold Naruto, but Obito attached several explosive tags to him.
At that moment, Minato had an idea. He took off his clothes to try to make himself look presentable, but he couldn't attend to his wife Kushina.
Obito seized the opportunity to kidnap Kushina and broke the seal to release the Nine-Tails.
"This bastard is so cruel. How dare he treat Kushina like this? She's his teacher's wife!"
Jiraiya was also furious.
If Obito were standing in front of him now, Jiraiya would definitely make him face the consequences of his actions.
