Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

That night, Xia Zuo reaped a great harvest.

The nine-tailed fox's tail is warm, soft, clean, and refreshing.

Xia Zuo had thoroughly masturbated, and naturally plucked a few hairs as well, a considerable haul.

Kushina Uzumaki cast the Adamantine Sealing Barrier on Xia Zuo, which was a direct observation at the soul level. For Xia Zuo, who was in the state of the Death God at the time, it was equivalent to directly imprinting it.

This most powerful sealing technique is truly a great achievement.

Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze disappeared, but their dissipated chakra was not lost; it all fell into Xia Zuo's hands.

The greatest gain today is the chakra that can carry consciousness.

Finally, through practice, I greatly increased my proficiency with the Spirit of Death, which can be considered a small achievement.

The one who benefited the most was naturally Naruto Uzumaki. This 7-year-old child filled the void in his heart ahead of time, and his future path will surely be smoother.

Even resistance to the influence of Ashura's chakra will be greatly increased.

Xia Zuo felt that this would force Ashura's chakra to exert more force, making it easier for him to discover its traces and helping him to catch it.

But Xia Zuo overlooked the influence of the red-haired woman; he forgot the enormous impact that could have on a 7-year-old child who believed his mother's words.

In particular, this influence acted on Naruto's soul, and through the "mask," it manifested a distorted form, causing a huge change in Naruto.

To be precise, Naruto Uzumaki is not as troublesome as before, and no longer causes trouble three times a day.

But the trouble he caused got serious.

Naruto Uzumaki began to openly pursue Sakura Haruno, leaving the scheming Sakura with no way out. She had no choice but to loudly reject him and immediately turn around and leave, never to speak to him again.

He no longer argues with Sasuke Uchiha in a loud and boisterous manner, but during formal taijutsu sparring, he can truly go all out, making Sasuke question his existence.

Naruto Uzumaki no longer wreaks havoc in Konoha, but he begins to openly retaliate against the villagers who have harmed him.

The shop that refused to sell food and daily necessities to Naruto painted over the shop's sign.

If a passerby whispers behind his back that Naruto is a monster, he will sneak up and shout, scaring the passerby out of their wits.

Not only did they refuse to sell their goods, but they also used brooms to drive away his shop, and then he would find people to block the door with excrement.

As for those little brats who dare to throw stones at Naruto, he'll catch them, pull down their pants, and spank their butts until they're split into eight pieces.

The villagers of Konoha, who were used to bullying him for not fighting back and for running away in cowardice, were enraged.

In their minds, this fox-faced boy was a lowly commoner of Konoha, a punching bag for them to vent their dissatisfaction and their fear of the Nine-Tails.

They were already angry that commoners could enter the ninja academy, but now they dared to retaliate so arrogantly.

They've turned the Heavenly Spirits upside down!

The hot-tempered villagers picked up their weapons, determined to teach the little monster a lesson and show him his lowly status.

Faced with the villagers' anger and escalating violence, Naruto Uzumaki unleashed even greater rage and resentment.

After entering Naruto's heart, Xia Zuo helped him meet his father and mother ahead of time.

He already knows he is not a monster, and that he has a loving father and mother.

Naruto Uzumaki knew that his father was the Fourth Hokage, the hero who saved Konoha Village.

He also knew that he was the Jinchūriki who sealed the Nine-Tails, and that he was protecting Konoha Village and its villagers.

These fools, whom his father saved and whom he protected, have been slandering and bullying him all along, and now they even dare to attack him...

Naruto Uzumaki remembered his mother's words, and also what Xia Zuo had told him.

"Naruto, after meeting the Fourth Hokage, you can no longer back down."

"You are the son of a hero, the protector of the village, and the village's most important strategic weapon."

"If anyone from Konoha dares to attack you, fight them back fiercely, without worrying about whether you can win or not."

"Believe me, Konoha will not allow anyone to truly harm you. Even if you kill someone, the Third Hokage will not impose any punishment."

"If you stop backing down and being patient, then others will have to back down."

Thinking of his older brother Xia Zuo's words and his mother's quotes, Naruto no longer had any thoughts of backing down, nor any fear of not being recognized by others.

There was only anger and resentment.

His will pierced through the "mask" and was transmitted to Naruto Uzumaki in his 250s.

So Naruto fought back.

Naruto interrupted the villagers who were holding weapons on the spot and coldly threw them into the street, leaving them to roll around and wail.

Three days after Uchiha Shisui's disappearance, amidst a fierce standoff between the Hokage faction and the Uchiha clan, and at a crucial moment when Shimura Danzo contacted Uchiha Obito to prepare for the annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

Naruto Uzumaki openly injured people on the streets of Konoha Village, and his atrocities caused a huge uproar in the village... What a load of rubbish!

Nothing happened!

When Naruto Uzumaki chose to retaliate, the ANBU ninja monitoring him immediately reported it to the Third Hokage.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard that Naruto had been attacked by the village militia, he was completely stunned.

Naruto was ostracized by the villagers, subjected to some foul language, and even had a couple of stones thrown at him by children, but the Third Hokage didn't think much of it.

He understood that the Nine-Tails' attack had unsettled the people of Konoha, and the villagers needed an outlet for their frustrations.

Making Naruto Uzumaki suffer a loss is the least costly way to solve the problem.

Anyway, it won't actually harm Naruto, so it's okay if Naruto suffers a little grievance.

But he couldn't accept picking up a knife and attacking Naruto.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand when these villagers had developed the illusion that they were superior to ninjas.

The Third Hokage finally realized that he had been too lenient with the villagers in the past.

Upon receiving the report, Shimura Danzo was equally enraged.

Naruto Uzumaki is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, a strategic weapon of Konoha Village.

"Do you know that Konoha Village is the Hidden Village of Ninjas? Do you know that ninjas are the rulers of Konoha Village?"

"How dare mere villagers attack Konoha ninjas, and even the son of the Fourth Hokage?"

"This is a rebellion!"

When Fugaku Uchiha received the report from the security ninja, he smashed the table to pieces.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was Fugaku's close friend. He had no prejudice against the Uchiha clan and once gave Fugaku boundless hope.

Kushina Uzumaki, the wife of the Fourth Hokage, was the best friend of Mikoto Uchiha, the wife of Fugaku.

When the four generations of the couple were alive, the two families had a very close relationship.

Because of the immense pressure from the Third Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha was already filled with guilt for being unable to take care of Naruto.

Upon hearing that someone was directly attacking Naruto, Fugaku Uchiha's guilt turned into fury.

Danzo Shimura: "Damn it! Arrest them! Arrest them all!"

"Investigate thoroughly! Has any information about the Jinchuriki been leaked? Is there any espionage activity behind this?"

Fugaku Uchiha: "Arrest those attackers and bystanders, and teach them a lesson!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Arrest everyone! Don't let a single rumor spread!"

"Furthermore, from today onwards, anyone who says that Naruto Uzumaki is a fox demon or a monster will be prosecuted for espionage!"
