In the very end, their parents looked at Naruto with disgust and said to their child: You can't play with the fox spirit anymore, do you hear me?

Everything flashed by like a video tape, truly revealing Naruto's inner thoughts to everyone. If it weren't for the fact that Naruto was a descendant of the Uzumaki clan and had the Nine-Tails' help, he would have died long ago!

Sometimes, late at night, Naruto would think about this question: Why did I come into this world?

"Naruto..."

"Brother Naruto..."

"How about this? Fourth Hokage, look at the Konoha that you two risked your lives to protect, and this is what it looks like!" Neji shouted, pulling Minato, who was so engrossed in watching that he could barely stand, back to reality.

"And you lot, treating the son of a hero like this, don't you... feel ashamed?!" Neji roared.

Everyone lowered their heads.

"How could this be... My original intention was clearly to make Naruto a hero of Konoha and be loved by the village, and then use the power of the Nine-Tails to become the pillar of Konoha. Why, why did this happen?!" Minato, despite being a chakra aggregator, couldn't help but shed tears and knelt on the ground in a daze.

Is this Konoha? Minato thought to himself, realizing that his and Kushina's selflessness had brought Naruto disaster.

The Third Hokage not only concealed Naruto's identity but also caused him to suffer this undeserved misfortune.

"Naruto, I...I'm sorry..." Minato cried as he hugged Naruto, his heart filled with a mixture of guilt and anger. No father could remain unmoved by his son's reaction.

At this moment, Neji had achieved his goal, and with a wave of his hand, he led everyone except Naruto away.

Do they even have the nerve to stay here?

Once his consciousness returned to the outside world, Neji's overwhelming aura could no longer be contained. Even he was furious at the sight of Naruto. It was already a miracle that Naruto could still contribute to Konoha.

"Now, tell me, are you still innocent?!"

Chapter 144 Injustice!

"Yes, the Third Hokage did right by you, but he failed Naruto, the Fourth Hokage, their family, and most importantly, Tsunade!"

"At least a few Uchiha members are still alive, but what about the Senju clan? Only Tsunade is left."

Neji pointed to the sky and the ground, gesturing for everyone to look at Tsunade, who was already squatting on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. He said angrily, "You can be angry, you can be dissatisfied, you can do whatever you want with Danzo, but Tsunade has done nothing wrong to you, while you are the sinners who poisoned Konoha."

Neji flicked his sleeves, ignoring them completely. He had cleverly shifted the blame for the Uchiha clan's rebellion onto Danzo. Anyway, Danzo was the scapegoat... who cares? He's dead, there's no way to prove it.

As for Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, hmph, if they dare to say a word, two mummies will appear on the gates of Konoha tomorrow.

Everyone was speechless, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

Kakashi and Asuma had already left sometime earlier. Neji's words struck a chord with them, filling them with a sense of sorrow and shaking their resolve.

Jiraiya seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Minato and Naruto were his students, but he couldn't face them now.

Seeing everything Naruto experienced in his childhood, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask himself what the point of such a life was. Perhaps Naruto would have been better off if he had betrayed Konoha. This thought naturally startled him, but it lingered in his mind like an addiction.

"Ugh... my stomach hurts so much."

Not long after, Naruto woke up unsteadily, clutching his stomach and letting out a scream. Minato's comfort finally filled the last void in Naruto's heart, allowing him to fully accept the world.

Naruto laughed loudly, put his arm around Neji's shoulder, and said with narrowed eyes, "That idiot dad told me a lot of funny stories about his childhood, and how he met Mom..."

Inside the sealed space, after Neji and the others left, Minato felt hostility towards Konoha, which he had been desperately protecting, for the first time, and had the idea of ​​destroying Konoha. However, Naruto's talk-no-jutsu ultimately dispelled this thought.

"Honestly, he's an adult, yet he's still acting like a child." Naruto scratched his head, but this only made everyone feel more guilty.

"Huh, where's the Perverted Sage?" Naruto suddenly paused, glancing around.

"There," Neji said, pointing to an old man huddled in a corner.

"Oh~" Naruto strode over.

"Naruto, do whatever you want. I won't stop you." Even without looking, Jiraiya knew who was coming. His gray hair covered his haggard face as he muttered to himself helplessly.

"What are you talking about, you perverted sage?" Naruto stroked his chin, looking suspicious. "Never mind, you perverted sage, Dad wants you to go inside."

"Go inside?"

"Ah." Naruto pointed to his stomach.

"The Fourth Hokage is still here? Oh, I see." Neji smiled. It seems Kurama has gradually accepted Naruto. Has it been accidentally infected by Naruto?

Actually, he was wrong. It was only because Kurama suspected that Neji was the reincarnation of the Six Paths Elder that he agreed to help Naruto.

"Oh ho ho, as expected of Neji, just as Kurama said, unfathomable." Naruto laughed heartily.

"Shut up, don't call me Kurama." Kurama's voice echoed in Naruto's mind.

With a mix of doubt and trepidation, Jiraiya placed his hand on Naruto's stomach and channeled a small amount of chakra into it.

"Jiraiya-sensei."

Inside the sealed space, Minato bowed respectfully to Jiraiya: "Thank you for taking care of Naruto during this time."

Jiraiya looked at the Nine-Tails connected to Minato's chakra clone, and was first surprised, then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. The Nine-Tails actually borrowed your chakra to keep you alive."

"Don't overthink it, I was just giving that guy face." Nine-Tails' disgruntled voice rang out.

"Huh? Wait... how did the Nine-Tails' chakra connect to you? Wasn't it sealed... the seal is gone!" Jiraiya then noticed that the Nine-Tails' seal had been broken.

"Well, how should I put it? It's a long story." Minato scratched his head and smiled wryly: "Anyway, Naruto is now the perfect Jinchuriki."

"I see, Minato. You've seen everything Naruto went through as a child. Do you... do you have anything to say?" Jiraiya asked, bowing his head.

"Yes, I'm very angry. You really can't see into someone's heart. I've been thinking about one question: is it really worth it for my husband and me to give up our lives for Konoha?"

"So that's how it is. I'm sorry, Minato, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a mentor."

"No, teacher, I am very grateful for your training of Naruto. He is now an excellent ninja who has inherited the Will of Fire, even better than me, his father. That is what I am proud of."

Minato was pleased, feeling a little embarrassed but mostly happy, thinking about how he had just been lectured by his son.

Naruto, you've grown up.

"Ahhh!"

At that moment, another fiery red figure suddenly rushed over from the other side with a frying pan, flames surging behind him, and immediately slammed it down on Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was startled and used his fairly agile footwork to dodge. The moment he saw who it was, his jaw dropped.

"Kujiu...Kushina, what are you doing here? And where did you get that frying pan?"

No, we shouldn't be asking that question now.

Minato gave a wry smile, sweating profusely.

"You're still laughing? You've seen your son's Sexy Jutsu, haven't you? It's all because of this disrespectful old man that Naruto was raised into that kind of delinquent." Kushina said angrily, grabbing Minato's collar as she saw him laughing.

"I'm innocent! That kid had already figured out this technique before he met me!" Jiraiya climbed onto the wall and quickly explained.

"You dare to make my son take the blame? I'll beat you to death today!"

"Sealing Technique: Vajra Lockdown!"

Then, bundles of chains flew toward the despairing Jiraiya.

Kushina also left behind a chakra clone, so she lived in a different way, just like Minato, and it can be considered a family reunion.

Meanwhile, outside, the uproar over the separation of Konoha had gradually subsided, and everyone was throwing themselves into the village's reconstruction with mixed feelings.

Neji's words woke them up. Tsunade, Naruto, Uchiha... even they were silently enduring it, so what did they have to complain about?

It is precisely because of this that these people have reached an unprecedented level of prestige. If anyone dares to insult them, that person will likely die a miserable death at home the next moment.

"Host has helped Tsunade out of trouble and has received a reward..."

Chapter 145 Why Don't You Just Fly to the Sky?

"The host has helped Tsunade out of a predicament and has received the reward [Wood Release: Wood Human Technique]."

Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique: A high-level ninjutsu mastered by Hashirama Senju. It transfers chakra to trees, causing them to grow rapidly and create a giant wooden golem. Its size and combat power are comparable to a complete Susanoo. It can catch a Tailed Beast Ball with one hand and use it to counterattack. It is strong in both offense and defense, especially good at physical attacks, and is extremely sturdy.

"Oh ho." Neji remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was extremely excited, thinking to himself that he hadn't failed to impress this time. He couldn't wait to test the power of this technique.

He felt he could now easily crush Payne, even with just one hand.

"After this change, Konoha should be able to move forward steadily and get closer to its original peak."

"Neji, thank you," Naruto said with a grin.

"You're welcome." Neji had already noticed Naruto's change from various details.

"Although you are basically a perfect Jinchūriki, you still need to be careful about Kurama's long-term resentment. This resentment is not something Kurama can control; you need to overcome it yourself," Neji reminded him.

"Ah, I understand," Naruto replied confidently.

"Hmm, when you have time, go with Jiraiya to Mount Myōboku to learn Sage Mode. It will be useful to you."

"Sage Mode?" Naruto asked doubtfully, but he agreed nonetheless.

Neji nodded, left, and headed towards Kirigakure.

The unification of the ninja world is inevitable. Although Mei Terumi works for him, Neji is not so arrogant as to act unilaterally. He still needs to discuss things with Mei Terumi.

Not long after, in the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure, Neji and Mei Terumi sat facing each other.

"Darling, are you serious? You want to unify the ninja world?" Mei Terumi's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Yes, this is the general trend, it was bound to happen sooner or later, otherwise the various ninja villages would be unable to cope with the upcoming changes if they became independent.” Neji leaned back and said seriously.

"But to unify the ninja world, one needs an extremely powerful force that can make everyone bow down. As far as I know, even the First Hokage would have difficulty doing that."

Neji nodded. The First Five Kage, who stood out in the Warring States period and founded the Five Great Villages, were all formidable. However, although he didn't know the extent of their strength, it was certain that they were not as strong as the Senju or Uchiha.

“Of course not now, but who knows what will happen in the future,” Neji said. “So, what’s your opinion?”

Mei Terumi stood up, walked up to Neji, and said with a smile, "I'll do whatever you want, but I have one request."

"What?" Neji asked suspiciously.

"If you're not the leader after the ninja world is unified, I might rebel," Mei Terumi said softly, tossing her hair.

"Of course." Neji's lips curled up. With the ninja world unified, they would naturally have to listen to him.

After discussing the matter, Neji hurriedly returned to Konoha Village, not daring to linger with Mei Terumi.

It wasn't because of Mei Terumi's identity, but every time he saw Mei Terumi, he couldn't help but think to himself: This fairy is amazing.

Neji was genuinely afraid that he would lose control.
