I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"Roar!!"

The mournful roar intensified, and one of Shukaku's forepaws turned into a shower of fine sand.

The boy's scarlet eyes revealed only disdain and indifference.

"As expected, the One-Tailed Beast is the weakest of the tailed beasts."

And the undisguised mockery.

So, you want to devour yourself?

With a look of disdain, Susanoo once again raised the giant blade, which was wreathed in azure demonic flames.

Tailed Beasts

Too weak.

.........

.........

The murderer who killed his father and mother was from the Uchiha clan.

When Naruto heard this news, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mood became extremely bad.

He immediately spoke up, wanting to ask for more details about his parents' situation and the specific reasons behind it.

Because both Uchiha Arakawa and Uchiha Sasuke were very important people to him.

They don't believe it, and they don't want to believe it—that's the whole truth!

However, Naruto's response was the Third Hokage shaking his head several times and saying, "You are still young, and knowing too much will not do you any good. I will tell you everything if I have the chance in the future," which completely cut him off.

However, amidst the stalemate, Hiruzen Sarutobi still offered the former a glimmer of hope:

"If you can pass this Chunin Exams, then I will have reason to believe that you have truly become a qualified ninja."

"At that time, they will naturally be qualified and capable of knowing about the past."

"After all, that matter is too deep and too wide-ranging."

"Without the strength, you can't even avenge them."

【revenge.】

It was this very word that made Naruto Uzumaki, who was determined to get to the bottom of things, freeze. Not only did his hands clench into fists at his sides, but his breathing also became unusually rapid.

"certainly,"

"You shouldn't even think about going to that clan or that person in private."

"Because even I can't guarantee what you'll encounter in the Uchiha clan's territory. That's an autonomous area designated by their clan."

Noticing the fluctuating emotions of the Nine-Tails, Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his eyelids slightly.

Without leaving a trace, they cut off any possibility that might interfere with their plans, according to the other party's temperament.

After all, he had watched Naruto Uzumaki grow up, and he took the boy's impulsive and straightforward personality into account.

"Of course, Sasuke Uchiha didn't know about what happened in the past either."

He's about your age.

He added another sentence.

"I... I just want an answer from him personally."

Naruto Uzumaki, whose thoughts had been seen through, cautiously spoke his innermost feelings.

The fists that were pressed against the sides of the trouser legs were clenched even tighter here.

"I know that Uchiha Ara gave you some very nice memories at a special time."

“I know you’re a kind child and don’t like to doubt others easily.”

"However, now that you are a ninja, you should know that, in a sense, the essence of a ninja is deception."

"Deception of family, friends, and enemies."

"Only in this way can we achieve our goals and complete our tasks in all kinds of situations and environments."

At the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice suddenly turned somewhat cold.

It's unclear whether these words were spoken by Naruto Uzumaki or as a self-reflection.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat stiff. Little Nine-Tailed Fox moved its lips but remained silent.

As far as he could remember, this was the first time he had heard this white-haired old man speak to him in such a serious and obscure way.

Even when he was captured after smearing the Hokage Rock, he had never been treated so seriously.

【cheat,】

[It's hard to understand. Has Ara been deceiving himself all along?]

Naruto Uzumaki went through many twists and turns in his heart, but he still couldn't find the answer.

Because they could find no reason why the other party would deceive them.

He was even the first person to tell him that the Third Hokage and Kakashi-sensei both knew about his parents' past.

"Of course, if you want to ask me in person, I won't stop you."

"You will have a face-to-face battle with Uchiha Ara in a month. If you have any questions, ask them then."

"At least, if anything happens then, I will protect you."

"As you saw a few days ago, that clan is driven by emotions. They can be ruthless and kill even their own clansmen and companions."

Seemingly noticing the Nine-Tails' repeated hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi also took a half step back and presented the explanation he had prepared beforehand.

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly raised his head.

The word "protect" is really too eye-catching.

Meanwhile, the blood that stained the training ground that day echoed the heartfelt words of the white-haired old man.

"I see."

"I will ask about the wasteland face to face on that day."

Under such words, Naruto Uzumaki finally compromised.

"Thank you for telling me so much and for always thinking of me, Grandpa Hokage."

He then bowed slightly to the former.

He wasn't stupid; he knew he couldn't get any more information right now.

Now, he has two options: to ask Ara in person on the day of the final assessment, or to pass this Chunin Trial and obtain all the past information promised by the Hokage.

"You're welcome,"

"This is what I should do."

Hiruzen Sarutobi responded calmly, his words revealing no flaws or panic.

After all, he's someone who's spent his entire life in this position through various tricks, so dealing with a little guy whose mind isn't fully mature yet is a piece of cake for him.

"Moreover, your parents are both excellent ninjas in Konoha Village."

"It's a pity that you were cruelly murdered by the Uchiha clan, and even had the name of the demon fox unjustly attached to you."

At the very end, without the slightest remorse or unease, he added a bombshell message.

"It can be said that,"

"All your misfortunes stem from that clan."

The cold words left Naruto Uzumaki distraught and he left the place. This night was bound to be the most sleepless night in the past twelve years.

However, although the Nine-Tails had already left, Hiruzen Sarutobi showed no sign of getting up to go back, and the lights in the Hokage's office remained bright, as if he was still waiting for someone.

After an unknown amount of time, when the entire village had fallen asleep, a burly figure appeared in the room filled with the smell of tobacco.

"Why did you summon me back, old Hokage?"

the man said.

Chapter 510 This is my only request in the last period of my life.

The familiar voice and presence made Hiruzen Sarutobi raise his eyes.

Looking ahead in the direction of the sound, one could see a tall, robust middle-aged man with white hair that reached his waist. The headband tied around his forehead had the character "oil" written on it in a free and unrestrained manner, and two red marks, like tear stains, snaked down from the bottom of his eyes.

In addition, he wore a red outer robe with a brown inner lining, wooden clogs, and carried a huge scroll on his back.

This is his image.

He was also one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Jiraiya.

Although he is known as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, there is no trace of his identity that immediately identifies him as a Konoha ninja. Furthermore, he no longer identifies himself as a Konoha ninja when he travels outside the village, instead referring to himself as the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku.

Looking at the man in front of him, a nameless sadness welled up in the Third Hokage's heart.

Of the once-renowned Sannin of Konoha, only one remains whom I can recall from outside.

As the white-haired old man silently observed the newcomer, the latter, after asking a question, stared intently at the former.

The dim light illuminated the Third Hokage's wrinkled, aged face, and his full head of white hair was strikingly visible after he removed the hat that symbolized the Hokage.

It wasn't just limited to appearance; the other person's energy and spirit seemed much more subdued than when we met three years ago, or perhaps "dejected" would be a more apt description.

look around,

The three old men who used to sit in this house with the Hokage are all gone.

I've even heard that not long ago, Danzo Shimura was branded a rogue ninja and had fled Konoha, disappearing into the ninja world...

This scene of things changing and people departing filled visitors with a deep sense of melancholy.

Three years,

What exactly happened during those three years?

As he murmured to himself, the unruly demeanor on the man's face unconsciously faded somewhat.
