I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 455 The Secret of Heaven Revealed!

Hearing news of one's own "death" from someone else is a huge shock for any ninja.

Minato Namikaze was no exception.

"The Fourth Hokage—no, the Fourth Hokage from your world, how…did he die?"

If Naruto Uzumaki were from the future of his own world, then Minato Namikaze would definitely not have asked him this question.

Having received the legacy of Mount Myōboku, and influenced by the Great Toad Sage and Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze has a very serious and solemn attitude towards special concepts such as "prophecy," "future," and "time."

Knowing the future can potentially change it, and change the world.

Because of the existence of the "Child of Prophecy," Minato Namikaze is unwilling to interfere with or influence the future development of the world.

After all, in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, the "Child of Prophecy" is a savior who can change the world!

Minato Namikaze was worried that if he knew about the future and took some action, it might have an unnecessary negative impact on the future world.

If it affects the Child of Prophecy...

That would be a real problem!

If Naruto Uzumaki were truly from the future of his own world, Minato Namikaze would not only refrain from asking him questions, but might even actively seal his own memories to avoid impacting the future as much as possible.

However, during the exchange just now, Minato Namikaze clearly learned that Naruto Uzumaki came from another world.

Since it is not the future of this world, it naturally cannot affect this world.

Minato Namikaze even thought that he could use Naruto Uzumaki to get some information about the future in advance.

"Legend has it that the Fourth Hokage was a great hero of the village..."

Naruto Uzumaki glanced at Minato Namikaze a few more times, then lowered his voice.

"To save the village, he fought a decisive battle against the fox demon and sealed it away with his life..."

"Nine-Tails!"

Minato Namikaze managed to utter two words with considerable difficulty.

In Konoha, the term "demon fox" has a very specific meaning!

Nine tails!

Minato Namikaze almost immediately gleaned a glimpse of the future from Naruto Uzumaki's words.

He became the Fourth Hokage, but for some reason, the Nine-Tails within Kushina went berserk and out of control, and in the end, he sealed the Nine-Tails with his life...

boom--

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, an extremely powerful chakra suddenly surged from Naruto Uzumaki's body. The orange-yellow chakra tightly enveloped his body like an outer garment, and his whole body exuded a violent aura like a prehistoric beast.

However, the [Eight Trigrams Sealing Style] left on Naruto's body was far too stable.

The Nine-Tails' chakra went slightly berserk, but it did not affect Naruto's clear-headedness.

Minato Namikaze and the others already suspected Naruto Uzumaki's true identity.

At that moment, the Nine-Tails' chakra suddenly erupted from the other party's body, and the original question was no longer in doubt.

Naruto Uzumaki is indeed the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha!

Minato Namikaze sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails...

The nine-tailed fox is rampaging through the village, changing the jinchūriki...

The third generation Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, whose original surname was Uzumaki...

Suddenly, Minato Namikaze felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Uzumaki...child, is your name Uzumaki Naruto?"

Naruto?

Naruto!

Suddenly, the name of a book popped into Minato Namikaze's mind—"The Tale of the Rooted Ninja"!

That was the only serious book Jiraiya ever wrote.

After reading this book, Minato Namikaze was deeply moved by the protagonist's spirit of never giving up until the very end.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze decided to name his son after the protagonist.

The protagonist of "The Tale of the Rooted Ninja" is named "Naruto"!

Naruto barely managed to control the Nine-Tails' chakra, which had suddenly gone berserk.

After he recovered, his expression was not as sunny and cheerful as before.

"I am Naruto Uzumaki..."

The fox boy looked extremely disappointed.

"But... people prefer to call me the fox spirit."

Minato Namikaze opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Everyone?"

Tsunade held onto the First Hokage's necklace tightly, and with her ability to judge the situation, she also recognized Naruto Uzumaki's true identity.

The surname of the Uzumaki clan!

Nine-Tails' chakra!

More importantly, it has such a head of brilliant blonde hair!

This blond kid who traveled from the future to the present is actually Minato Namikaze's son!

Fortunately, Tsunade almost misunderstood just now.

Of the people present, only Uchiha Shisui lacked sufficient information, resembling a red-eyed badger eating melons in a melon patch, exuding a clear yet bewildered aura.

"Where did this 'big family' come from?"

Tsunade's tone was serious.

"Does everyone in the village know who you are?"

The identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is top secret within Konoha.

Only a very small number of ninjas have access to this information.

In the future, Konoha will actually reveal Naruto Uzumaki's true identity to the public?

What exactly happened to the village?

Naruto Uzumaki suppressed his disappointment slightly and looked at Tsunade with a somewhat strange expression.

The Tsunade Granny I knew and the Tsunade Granny in the current world look exactly like they were made from the same mold.

This left Naruto with a sense of confusion.

"That's what everyone in the village likes to call him..."

Naruto Uzumaki said casually.

"But one day, I will become Hokage and gain everyone's recognition!"

"Becoming Hokage doesn't guarantee the villagers' approval."

Nara Rinka said calmly.

"Only those who have gained everyone's approval can become Hokage."

Naruto Uzumaki's expression froze.

He suddenly realized that what the pineapple-headed uncle said made a lot of sense...

"Naruto-kun, could you tell us what happened in Konoha in the future?"

Nara, holding a cassia tree, knowingly asked a question.

Why did the village publicize the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki so openly?

"The Nine-Tails... its Jinchūriki?"

Naruto pointed to himself.

"Uncle Pineapple Head, are you talking about me?"

"no."

Nara Rinka is spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"I'm talking about a brat whose last name is Whirlpool, who has blond hair, a beard, and likes to give people random nicknames."

"...You're talking about me!"

Naruto Uzumaki put his hands on his hips and said indignantly.

"But what does 'Nine-Tails Jinchuriki' mean?"

"You can discuss this with the Nine-Tailed Fox and see if it's interested in telling you."

Nara Rinka waved.

"Just answer my question directly."

"What happened in Konoha in the future—no, for you, in the past?"

"No need for too much detail, just give a general overview of the major events."

"I……"

Naruto Uzumaki pondered for a long time.

"I don't know..."

"you do not know?"

Tsunade couldn't help but chime in.

"Don't ninja academies teach village history?"

"Ahem, ahem, um..."

Naruto Uzumaki looked embarrassed; he really disliked his status as a loser.

"I prefer practical classes."

Oh, I see, bottom of the class...

Nara Rinkazu deliberately looked at Namikaze Minato, putting on a regretful expression as if it were a misfortune for the family.

Minato Namikaze was also in a somewhat awkward position.

He wasn't surprised that Nara Rinka could see through Naruto's true identity.

only……

He was clearly a model student, and Kushina's grades weren't too bad either, so why did Naruto...

Oh dear, the child must be suffering...

Nara Rinkazu stopped teasing Minato Namikaze and focused the conversation on Naruto Uzumaki, showing a little more imposing presence.

"I ask, you answer."

"yes!"

"Your birthday?"

"October 10th, Konoha Year 51"

Minato Namikaze's eyes narrowed.

Will he die next year?

When did Tsunade become the Fifth Hokage?

"Three years ago, oh, that is, 64 years ago."

"Who managed the village during those ten-plus years?"

"Of course it's the Third Hokage! It's a pity he was killed by Orochimaru..."

Tsunade's expression was icy.

If she had known this would happen, she should have just killed Orochimaru that day!

"Oh, what about the Uchiha clan?"

"That's all, only Sasuke is left..."

Uchiha Shisui: ? ? ?
