The ninja world is reborn, and everyone is resurrected at the start.

Whether they believed Minato's words or not, they all fell silent at this moment!

Is everything you're saying true?

Finally, after a long silence, Gangzi Tie, who had been sitting on the field in a disheveled state, spoke up and asked!

"..."

Minato did not directly answer Kotetsu's question!

But the fierce look in his eyes seemed to have already revealed the truth to everyone!

"But, but what we've been hearing all along is..."

Minato's gaze instilled a sense of fear in Kotetsu!

Even so, he gritted his teeth and voiced his doubts!

"The Third Hokage said that to protect Naruto! But..."

This time, Minato chose to answer Kotetsu's question:

"You are ninjas! You are here to protect this village!"

If you're just blindly following the crowd and lack even the most basic ability to judge rumors, then I suggest you—never be ninjas again!

Minato looked at the three of them with disdain and continued:

"They don't trust their own companions! They lack even the most basic judgment regarding rumors and gossip!"

They even deliberately smeared the villagers in order to make a scene and attract attention. You sacrificed yourselves for this!

I'm ashamed of myself!

"..."

The water gate is of paramount importance!

Almost everyone in the timber industry knows that Shuimen sacrificed himself to save the industry!

At that time, the villagers' gratitude towards Shuimen reached an unprecedented level.

However, what they did not expect was that, many years later, the person who had sacrificed himself to protect the village would regret it!

"Are you telling the truth? You really are my dad!?"

The first one to come to his senses was Naruto Uzumaki, who was directly involved!

At this moment, he looked completely bewildered!

Although, in the past few days, Minato and the others have made Naruto feel at home!

He always regarded Minato and Kushina as his father and mother from the bottom of his heart!

But today, when we hear the real answer from Shuimen's mouth!

He was at a loss for what to do!

"Yes, Naruto! I'm sorry I haven't told you before!"

Minato knelt down, patted Naruto's head, and said gently:

"Because we didn't know how long we'd be able to stay in this world! To avoid you experiencing the feeling of loss again, we originally planned to keep it a secret indefinitely..."

At this point, Minato lowered his head in shame!

"I...I have a dad and a mom now! I have..."

Minato's words completely stunned Naruto!

He kept repeating the same sentence!

"Sorry, Naruto!"

At that moment, Kushina appeared beside Naruto!

She knelt down and hugged her son tightly in her arms!

"I finally have a dad and a mom..."

In Kushina's warm embrace, Naruto's emotions, which he had suppressed for twelve years, finally erupted!

Tears streamed down my face like a river bursting its banks!

His entire body was trembling violently!

But she bit her lip hard with her teeth, trying not to make a sound!

His lips were even bitten until they bled!

However, Naruto seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing to bite down hard...

Seeing this scene, everyone in the venue felt extremely sad!

Looking back on their past actions, many of them couldn't even forgive themselves...

"I'm sorry, Minato-sensei, I didn't take good care of Naruto..."

After a long time, the grown-up Kakashi Hatake walked up to Minato, bowed deeply, and said in a tone full of remorse!

"I'm sorry, Naruto!!"

At that moment, Sakura Haruno also appeared at the venue!

She bowed deeply to Naruto and Kushina, her eyes red with emotion.

"I once called you an orphan with no parents and no one to care for you!!! I'm so sorry!!!"

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha, who came with Sakura Haruno, recalled the time when they were first assigned to classes, when Naruto Uzumaki used the Transformation Jutsu to transform into him!

Then he searched for Sakura alone, but when he arrived, he only saw Sakura alone. At that time, Sakura was --

'Never mind Naruto, he's always clinging to Sasuke. It's obvious no one's teaching him properly! Look, he doesn't have parents, right? He always does whatever he wants. If I did something like that, my parents would kill me! He's all alone and has never been scolded by his parents, which is why he's so willful in many ways...'

Although Naruto wasn't present at the time and didn't know any of this, it's undeniable that Sakura Haruno's actions cannot be ignored!

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki did not answer Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake's questions!

His arms were still tightly embracing Kushina...

When everyone in the venue saw Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake go over to apologize, the conflicted expressions on their faces deepened even more...

"Sorry, Naruto!!"

At this moment, the Third Hokage slowly walked into the venue!

"I didn't tell you the truth, which is why you suffered this kind of treatment in the village!"

Not only did I fill your childhood with discrimination, but I also betrayed the trust that Kushina and Mizu placed in me...

The Third Hokage removed his Hokage hat and then bowed slightly.

"I'm so sorry."

Chapter 198 Naruto's Confession

"Yes, we're sorry, Naruto! We apologize for what we did!"

Seeing that the Third Hokage had come out to apologize, Kotetsu, Izumo, and Ebisu, who were already on the field, exchanged a glance and then stepped forward together.

"The Fourth Hokage is right! As ninjas, the most basic thing we must do is to distinguish right from wrong!"

But we failed to do that. On the contrary, we believed the rumors and even slandered you multiple times...

I'm so sorry!!!

The three of them remained in the bowing posture and did not stand up!

"Feel sorry!!"

"sorry!!!"

After the three apologized, the people sitting in the audience could no longer remain seated!

They all came down from the stage and apologized to Naruto!

The person who once beat up Naruto...

The mask shop owner who once severely humiliated Naruto in his own shop...

Those who once mocked and discriminated against Naruto have mostly stood up now...

"...Thanks!"

Naruto whispered to Kushina and Minato!

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki slowly came to his senses!

　09 He took a deep breath, then gave Sakura a mischievous look and said:

"Sakura, lift your head! If you keep crying like this, Sasuke will get annoyed with you!!!"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sakura slowly raised her head!

"Regarding the timber industry, I have actually harbored feelings of hatred and desire for revenge!"
