Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

Having said his piece, Xin turned back to the girl, his tone now gentle. "What's your name? Can you tell me?"

"I'm Uzugi Xin, from Konoha. But I'm not a bad person. Do you think you can trust me?"

"My name is Uzumaki Nami," She replied, hesitantly. "You gave me food, and you didn't hurt me or call me names. I think... I think I can trust you."

Xin's kind words and smile seemed to break through her fear. Slowly, she let down her guard and revealed her name, deciding to trust Xin.

"What about your family?" Xin asked.

"They're all gone. So many people bit them," Nami said, her eyes filled with terror as she relived the horrific memories.

"It's okay. It's all over now," Xin said softly, patting her head to pull her out of the nightmare of her past.

"Would you like to come with me? I can take you to Konoha. You can live there safely-no one will hurt you, and no one will bite you."

In that moment, Xin made up his mind. He was going to take Uzumaki Nami back to Konoha.

As for the issue of her identity? That would be easy enough, he'd get Tsunade to handle it. Having another Uzumaki around might even make Kushina happy. Though, once Kushina learned about Nami's past, she might hold a deep grudge against Konoha's leadership.

But that wasn't something Xin could predict.

There was a reason Tsunade hated Danzo and why she didn't bother with Koharu and Homura. It wasn't just because of all the underhanded things they'd done-it also had to do with the Uzumaki clan's fate.

If Hiruzen wasn't her teacher, Tsunade probably wouldn't want anything to do with him either.

"But... can I really?" Nami asked, still hesitant. She was afraid to go to Konoha, but at the same time, she wanted to trust Xin, to believe he wouldn't lie to her or hurt her.

"Don't worry. It'll be fine."

Xin assured her. "I promise."

"I'll make sure of it too!" Nawaki chimed in, clenching his fist.

"And me," Minato added, raising his hand.

It didn't surprise Xin that Nawaki agreed, but Minato... This was a kid who still believed in the Third Hokage and the village's leadership. But now, it seemed that his innocent outlook had been tainted by the truth.

Learning about the darkness behind Konoha's façade was a turning point-something that could change someone's life forever. And it wasn't a joke; it was reality.
