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

Chapter 255: Kid Version



Minato's worldview had just been shattered. Knowing what he did now, he was starting to see the Third Hokage, Danzo, and the others in a different light.

Finally, he understood why Xin avoided dealing with the village's higher-ups. There were ugly truths hidden where he hadn't been looking.

"Thank you, thank you so much," Nami said, tears of relief streaming down her face as she sobbed quietly.

Later that night, after bathing and changing into clean clothes, Nami fell asleep on the grass nearby. Xin, Nawaki, and Minato sat by the fire, none of them feeling tired.

Nami's appearance had shaken them to their core Xin seemed unfazed, but Nawaki and Minato needed time to process everything they'd learned.

"Why would the village do something like that, Xin?" Nawaki finally asked, still trying to understand why Konoha had abandoned the Uzumaki Clan.

Weren't they supposed to be allies?

Why didn't Konoha help them?

"It's even worse than abandoning them-it's like kicking them while they're down. No wonder the surviving Uzumaki are running for their lives, refusing to go to the Land of Fire or Konoha."

"Do you want the kid-friendly version or the real version?" Xin asked, turning to look at him.

Nawaki felt a chill run down his spine. There was a kid-friendly version of this? What kind of twisted tale was that?

Minato, half-expecting Xin to be messing with Nawaki, quickly said, "Xin, be serious. I want to know the truth too."

"I am serious. I wasn't joking," Xin replied with a sigh, realizing they were anxious to hear his explanation.

"Alright, the kid-friendly version is this: Konoha was afraid that if they sent troops to help the Uzumaki Clan, it would start a war. A lot of villages were targeting the Uzumaki, including Cloud and Mist. Who knows if other villages were involved too?"

Patting Minato and Nawaki on the shoulder, Xin continued, "That's the story you'd get if you asked the Third Hokage, Danzo, or the Council. They'd tell you how difficult it was for Konoha, how sending aid could've sparked a war that would cost countless lives."

"And then they go and start a war in the Land of Rain!" Nawaki shouted, his fists trembling with anger.

He remembered how sad his grandmother, Uzumaki Mito, had been. Even Tsunade had complained about how the village refused to send help out of fear of starting a war. Yet, they had no problem starting one in the Land of Rain. It was like they were mocking him.

Even Minato, usually so composed and positive, felt a surge of frustration. He wanted to curse them all out.

"And that brings us to the real version. Do you still want to hear it?" Xin asked, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
