Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 257 Father and Son Reunite

Shenwei is a public space.

wrong.

Kamui is Obito Uchiha's private space.

Kakashi Hatake, that idiot, mastered the use of the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan and just throws things around in the Kamui dimension—a cannonball one day, a shuriken the next…

Obito Uchiha realized the trouble caused by the loss of the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan. What if that idiot Kakashi Hatake lost something inside it during his future battles…

"Take back the eyes you gave to that idiot..."

Obito Uchiha didn't want to break his promise, mainly because he didn't want to be ridiculed for wanting to take back what he had given away.

For an Uchiha, this is far too shameful!

"never mind."

Obito Uchiha thought of Nagato's Rinnegan, and he wanted to obtain it even more: "I should find a way to get the Rinnegan in the future. Only with the Rinnegan can I control the Ten-Tails and unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi in the future. I don't believe that Madara guy..."

Compared to a mere Mangekyou Sharingan…

Obito Uchiha wanted to obtain the Rinnegan and control the Ten-Tails.

Konoha Village.

Team 7 and Team 3 successfully completed their mission to rescue the Kazekage and returned to Konoha Village as a group. Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno were still curious about the Root ninjas following them.

"Go and cultivate properly first..."

Kakashi Hatake refused to answer Naruto Uzumaki's question, feeling that the gap in strength between Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha was too great, and that Naruto needed to train hard after returning to the village.

exactly.

Kakashi Hatake knows some secrets.

For example, there are four Hokage who have been resurrected using Edo Tensei within Konoha Village.

This should have been a secret within Konoha Village, but Kakashi Hatake returned to the Anbu during a two- or three-year hiatus and naturally learned of it.

When Kakashi Hatake returned to the village to report to Tsunade, he casually mentioned his request: "I want Minato-sensei to teach Naruto..."

"It just so happens that the four previous Hokage have just returned..."

Tsunade frowned, but then said, "I can bring this up at the Hokage meeting in the village. The Fourth Hokage should agree to it... They're all in Root right now."

"We need to be faster."

Kakashi Hatake felt a sense of urgency and whispered, "The Akatsuki has already begun their operation, and Naruto's training isn't enough..."

"Isn't that enough?"

Tsunade felt that Naruto Uzumaki had performed well in the last test: "I think the little guy has improved quite a bit in the past few years..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake sighed to himself.

Although Naruto Uzumaki has made great progress, he is still far behind Sasuke Uchiha. Naruto's strength is also insufficient to protect him. The Akatsuki has captured the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of Sunagakure, and they will definitely set their sights on Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki...

fortunately.

Kakashi Hatake and Kagura Akihara have a pretty good relationship.

Kakashi Hatake went directly to see Kagura Akihara, hoping to meet the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and discuss Naruto Uzumaki's education with him.

Kagura Akihara had just received news that Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, had been recalled, and casually offered her suggestion: "Why don't we have Naruto apply to join Root? His strength will definitely improve very quickly..."

"Lady Tsunade will definitely not agree..."

Kakashi Hatake couldn't quite picture Naruto joining Root, shaking his head repeatedly. "Besides, if that guy joins Root, you, as the Root leader, will have a real headache, won't you?"

Konoha has several individuals who are very unsuitable for joining the Anbu and Root, such as Might Guy and Rock Lee, and Naruto Uzumaki; their personalities are both too sunny and optimistic…

Kakashi Hatake was an old friend of Kagura Akihara, and it was inconvenient and impossible for her to refuse such a small request, so Kagura Akihara readily agreed to Kakashi Hatake's request.

Other than that.

Kakashi Hatake, pushing his luck a bit, rubbed his hands together nervously: "Um, I also heard you've mastered the nature transformation of the Rasengan..."

Obviously.

Kakashi Hatake also wanted Kagura Akihara's help. He felt that his two disciples, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, were actually quite suitable for Kagura's training and guidance. At least Sasuke Uchiha had performed very well in this mission.

"Shall we train Naruto?"

Sasuke Uchiha was very interested in this matter and volunteered, "If it's possible, I can help too. It's been a long time since I've had a proper fight with that guy..."

"Before that..."

Kakashi Hatake hesitated, unsure whether he should do something: "Should we... tell Naruto about his past...?"

Although it may not be the right time...

But for a child who has never met their parents, there may never be such a thing as suitable or unsuitable; in this case, things are actually more stable.

Konoha's Third Training Ground.

Kakashi Hatake brought Naruto Uzumaki here.

Akihara Kagura, Namikaze Minato, and three Root ninjas wearing cat-face masks appeared directly at the training ground. Namikaze Minato was very excited after receiving this news. He had long wanted to reunite with his son and have a good talk with him.

"Huh?"

Naruto Uzumaki completely ignored Minato Namikaze and immediately became interested in the Root ninja wearing the cat-face mask: "I should thank you for last time..."

"You're welcome."

Uchiha Sasuke felt somewhat unaccustomed to this.

"Alright, Naruto."

Kakashi Hatake grabbed Naruto, extended his hand, and began to introduce him: "Let me introduce you first. This is the Fourth Hokage of the village..."

"The Fourth Hokage!"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Minato Namikaze with some surprise, staring at the man who looked somewhat like him: "Wasn't the Fourth Hokage already...?"

"This is a village secret..."

Kakashi Hatake patted him on the shoulder and explained in a deep voice, "It is said that in order to prevent Orochimaru from resurrecting the Hokage through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the village resurrected the Hokage in advance as a last-ditch defense for the village..."

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't quite understand it.

This was clearly beyond his comprehension.

Naruto Uzumaki remembered his favorite saying since childhood: he wanted to become a hero in the village, just like the Fourth Hokage, or even a hero who surpassed the Fourth Hokage!

"Oh, right..."

"He has another identity..."

Kakashi Hatake fell silent at this point, glancing at the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, unsure if he should be the one to speak.

because…

After all, this identity is a big deal for Naruto.

"Long time no see, Naruto."

Minato Namikaze picked up where Kakashi Hatake left off, extending his hand to Naruto Uzumaki with a broad smile, and said, "I am Minato Namikaze, and I am also your father."

This world is always so strange.

Such an important event happened in such a calm setting.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, introduced himself in such a gentle manner that it seemed he didn't have much expectation for this meeting between father and son.

even…

The Root ninjas nearby all glanced at him sideways.

"..."

Naruto Uzumaki stared at Minato Namikaze with a look of utter astonishment.

Naruto Uzumaki, an orphan who had always been used to living alone, never imagined that he would see his parents again.

Naruto Uzumaki has always considered himself an orphan. He has never had any expectations of his parents, and since he has never had them, he is naturally not afraid of losing them.

just now…

I've grown up...

Suddenly someone told him that he was his father?

"Stop joking..."

Naruto's smile looked very unnatural.

"It's true."

Minato Namikaze interrupted Naruto Uzumaki, reaching out to pat his son's shoulder while trying to provide evidence that he was Naruto's biological father: "When the village was attacked by the Nine-Tails, I sealed the Nine-Tails inside you..."

"I don't believe it!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto slapped Minato Namikaze's hand away, turned around angrily, and left without paying any attention to the others' attempts to stop him, heading straight into the forest!

All of this…

Everything in my life...

It's all because the Nine-Tailed Fox monster was sealed inside them!

Because she was a nine-tailed fox spirit, she was ostracized by everyone in the village. No one wanted to get close to her, and she would even be driven away if she tried to buy something...

Because he was a nine-tailed fox spirit, no one wanted to associate with him or acknowledge him. No matter what he did, he would be cursed by the villagers…

All of this…

It's all because of the Nine-Tails inside me!

The man who sealed the Nine-Tails inside him back then is now brazenly claiming to be his father. He absolutely denies that the man is his father!

"Naruto!"

Minato Namikaze looked uneasy and tried to chase after them.

"The Fourth Hokage."

Kagura Akihara stopped Minato Namikaze's actions and suddenly gestured to the Root ninja beside her: "Sasuke, go and have a good talk with Naruto. Don't let him do anything foolish. You're allowed to reveal your identity..."

"yes…"

Sasuke Uchiha quickly leaped towards the direction Naruto Uzumaki had gone.

Back then, he was deeply mired in the hatred of his clan's annihilation and was obsessed with gaining power in order to avenge Itachi Uchiha. That idiot Naruto Uzumaki wanted to pull him out of the quagmire of revenge and even risked his life to save him...

just now…

Is it his turn now?

Konoha Village.

On a park bench.

Naruto sat there silently shedding tears, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He didn't know what to say or what to do.

Once upon a time, Naruto Uzumaki admired the Fourth Hokage so much; now, Naruto Uzumaki hates the Fourth Hokage just as much!

That guy…

Why would someone implant the Nine-Tails into their own body?

All the suffering I've endured since childhood was because of the Nine-Tails inside me. Now, the man who claims to be my father is telling me that he's the one who did it all!

That guy…

Why should they do this?!

Is this something a father should do?

Does that man who claims to be his own father know what kind of fate his child will suffer by doing this?

Sixteen years!

Sixteen years!

Naruto Uzumaki had almost forgotten how much misfortune he had suffered because of his identity as the Nine-Tailed Fox. No matter how hard he tried to live, he could not gain the recognition of others because of this identity!

"That idiot..."

The Root ninja wearing the cat-face mask cursed under his breath, walked step by step to Naruto Uzumaki's side, and handed him a glass of sweet pear juice that he had bought.

"What are you doing here...?"

Naruto Uzumaki still looked somewhat dejected.

"Let me tell you about the Fourth Hokage..."

The Root ninja handed him the pear juice and said softly, "Many people know the hidden truth behind this, and perhaps you've heard some of it too..."

"I don't want to hear it!"

Naruto Uzumaki waved his hand, intending to knock away the pear juice in front of him.

Naruto Uzumaki originally had a good impression of this Root ninja who had protected them, but when he heard that the ninja wanted to act as a persuader for the guy who claimed to be his father, he immediately felt dissatisfied!

"idiot!"

This Root ninja grabbed Naruto's wrist!

"you!"

Naruto Uzumaki grabbed the other person's wrist with his backhand, still trying to resist!

However, this Root ninja was extremely powerful in combat. Seeing that Naruto was about to resist, he directly pressed down on Naruto's wrist and kicked Naruto and the recliner to the ground!

"asshole!"

Naruto Uzumaki angrily fell backward and crashed to the ground!

A hint of disappointment flashed in the Root ninja's eyes as he coldly said, "Naruto Uzumaki, when did you start taking your anger out on innocent people...?"

"Who exactly are you?"

Naruto Uzumaki lay on the ground, glaring angrily at the Root ninja before him. He suddenly remembered the words of his former comrade, Sasuke Uchiha: "You have no idea what I've been through, so what right do you have to question me!"

"..."

The Root ninja was momentarily stunned.

He had said these words to Naruto countless times before, but he never expected that Naruto would use them to retaliate against him one day…

"You idiot..."

The Root ninja shook his head helplessly, slowly extended his palm, removed his mask, revealing a face that Naruto Uzumaki found familiar: "I should know what you idiot have been through, right?"

Second update!

Everyone, go to bed early!
