As long as we continue to strengthen our care for Naruto Uzumaki and the bonds we forge with his teachers and comrades, this little guy will surely inherit the Will of Fire someday.

But his own foolish clansmen have repeatedly shattered this already stable situation!

Such questioning, such a situation,

How should he answer?

How should I answer this?

admit,

This would be an unacceptable thing for Naruto Uzumaki, and it is not impossible for him to change his current peaceful will because of it.

If rejected

Then his image in front of all the ninjas would plummet.

And most importantly, his image in Naruto's mind doesn't get much improvement either.

because,

He could have revealed this fact sooner, so that the person involved wouldn't have to suffer from the disgust and exclusion from others!

But it didn't.

Such hindsight advice is futile.

Since arriving, the reason he remained silent was that he was worried that the little madman would say something shocking, and he was waiting for the other party to reveal a weakness that he could exploit.

But things didn't go as planned.

That foolish tribesman pushed himself into the middle of a narrow, impassable bridge.

As for the will of ordinary residents, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't really care.

Continuing to act based on current feelings of rejection is acceptable.

Because with just a little bit of care from others, one can build a bond with Naruto Uzumaki; Ara Uchiha is the best example of this.

The kindness of just one bowl of ramen has made Little Nine-Tailed Fox remember it and wait until today.

Such feelings, such bonds, are truly cheap and easy to form.

Of course, not everyone can replicate such a bond; that little madman simply achieved an unintentional act at the best moment.

His trump card was Iruka Umino.

A ninja with a past similar to Naruto Uzumaki, a heart full of dedication to teaching and nurturing, and an ordinary yet special one who inherited the Will of Fire.

It seems to be having an effect, but it's not enough.

The main reason was that the sudden return of this little madman disrupted his plans.

However, given more time, this bond between teachers and students will definitely be further strengthened!

If Naruto Uzumaki truly becomes a qualified ninja recognized by everyone in the future, then it won't matter, because the final evaluation will only be:

It was the Third Hokage's mercy and foresight that allowed him to stay despite public opinion and influence the calamity-bringing fox spirit!

That's why he has achieved what he has today.

"Hey, are you too old to hear my question?"

"Or is this question difficult to answer?"

Looking at the Third Hokage, who stood in the center of the Konoha ninja and remained silent for a long time, Ara's tone began to become impatient, and the last bit of respect he had vanished.

In follow-up remarks, the form of address was completely omitted.

[Old man, stop thinking about running away.]

You can't escape.

Upon hearing these words, Naruto's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately no sound came out.

He knew that his friend in front of him had questioned the village's "shadow" in public because of him.

And deep down, Yu Zhi also wanted an answer.

Although he questioned this answer day and night, but...

After all, it's not a judgment made by outsiders.

"You are presumptuous!"

"With repeated acts of rudeness, where do you intend to place the Hokage?"

"Do the Uchiha clan members lack any manners or simply lack proper upbringing from their elders?"

Sarutobi Sugi, his face contorted with rage, roared...

To dare speak to the village leader in such an attitude is simply giving him a golden opportunity to make trouble!

but,

The instant he finished speaking, several sharp, piercing sounds, each carrying a chilling glint, flew straight toward where he stood.

[Rat-a-tat-tat!]

With a series of muffled sounds, the thing that came flying through the air was clearly visible in front of Sarutobi Sugi, and it could even be said that it was right next to his feet!

Stare intently.

The object driven into the ground was actually a row of standard kunai that had already been sharpened!

If the angle of the thrown object were even slightly off, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Almost at the same moment,

A brutal and inhuman warning echoed through the night:

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to my clan leader like that?"

"If you dare to speak ill of my people again, I will kill you!"

"Don't expect the markings on your clothes to protect you!"

Following the sound,

Dozens of boys and girls dressed in blue and purple uniforms with ninja bags tied around their waists and legs emerged from the night.

Aside from the fan-shaped pattern embroidered on the clothes, the most distinct feature was the pair of scarlet eyes that shone brightly in the darkness. The black, rotating three-tomoe eyes were like a deep abyss vortex, capable of devouring everything in the world!

Three years,

It wasn't just Huang who grew up alone during the time he was imprisoned.

Those fledglings with an awareness beyond their peers are also striving to catch up!

This place is already on the outskirts of the Uchiha Autonomous Territory. With so many Konoha ninjas gathering here under the cover of night, it would be wishful thinking to think they wouldn't be noticed.

In particular, within the clan's territory exists a highly perceptive early warning monster—the Owl!

"you!"

Concerned about the ninja tool approaching him, Sarutobi Sugi's pupils trembled, and his indignant and humiliating expression was palpable.

Within Konoha, and in front of the Third Hokage, these lunatics dared to throw ninja tools at their fellow villagers as a warning. Such an attitude and demeanor is tantamount to treason!

"Lord Hokage!"

He turned and whispered, wanting to list out all the heinous crimes of these bastards.

but,

Surrounded by numerous Konoha ninja in the center, Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored the voices. Instead, his expression remained calm as he gazed at the boy standing opposite him, and slowly spoke:

"Twelve years ago, on the day the Nine-Tailed Fox brought disaster to Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki was born."

"That night, too many Konoha residents and Konoha ninjas died because of it."

An impartial and unbiased answer.

He neither asserted that Naruto Uzumaki was the demon fox that ordinary residents hurled insults at him, nor did he deny this long-held conclusion.

It simply states the fact that the Nine-Tails appeared on the same day as Naruto's birth.

This answer surprised many people present.

Huang's expression also darkened.

This is an irrefutable answer, and even if we delve into the details and trace the historical facts, the fact remains that Naruto Uzumaki has the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him.

"Feel sorry."

Noticing Naruto's sudden drop in mood, Ara said something in a low voice.

He originally thought he could improve some of his understanding, gain some insights from the ninjas, and even disgust that hypocritical old man.

But it seems that things haven't improved.

The Third Hokage, who was able to consistently outmaneuver the ambitious Danzo Shimura, was ultimately no pushover.

It's extremely difficult to make this old fox reveal any flaws in his political maneuvering or public opinion.

The only way to bring it down is still through force.

Thinking of this, Huang slightly narrowed his eyes.

Anyway, he wasn't a stubborn, traditional ninja, and he didn't care about fame or honor.

Next,

I'll start this battle in my own unique way.

Just wait and see.

After apologizing, Ara didn't want to stay there any longer. As for the attack on Mizuki and the appearance of the Book of Seals in Naruto's hands, he had no desire to explain.

After passing the little creature, it walked toward its tribesmen who were there to greet it.

Hearing the heartfelt apology, feeling the presence of those around me fading away,

Naruto's body suddenly trembled slightly, and his lowered face lifted up. He turned around hastily, and his slightly parted lips seemed to want to say something.

Say things that don't require the other person to apologize.

However, just as his words were about to leave his lips, the Third Hokage spoke again:
