Chapter 85: Conflicted Naruto
Near Naruto's house.
Many villagers had gathered around here. They basically all wanted to apologize to Naruto.
However, they were all stopped by the Anbu.
After all, no one knew if some spies from the other villages had mixed in with the crowd.
Now, Naruto's identity had been fully exposed.
Nine Tails Jinchūriki, and the Fourth Hokage's son.
A person with any one of these two identities would be on other villages's hit list.
At this moment, Naruto was at a loss.
Putting together what he had heard others say piece by piece, Naruto understood what was going on.
His father was the Fourth Hokage.
He was the great Hokage who sealed the Nine Tails in his body before he died.
The rumor that he was a demon fox was spread by his most beloved Grandpa Third Hokage.
How could that be!
How could Grandpa Hokage do such a thing?
If he was really the Fourth Hokage's son, why was his life so... miserable?
Naruto couldn't handle all this and jumped on the roof of his house, facing the direction of the Hokage Rock.
Sometimes, he looked at the Fourth Hokage's statue, and sometimes he looked at the Third Hokage's statue.
It was unknown what was going on in his mind.
At this moment, Shiranui Genma and Yamashiro Aoba arrived here.
"Genma, you are here too."
Ka23 Cassie greeted the two of them and directly asked Anbu to let them over.
Next to Kakashi, is Umino Iruka.
Both of them were worried about Naruto's situation and couldn't relax.
"What happened to Naruto?"
Yamashiro Aoba said curiously.
He also had some idea of Naruto's day-to-day behavior.
Naruto often did various pranks, trying to attract people's attention.
He probably wanted to be noticed by others.
Now the villagers wanted to apologize to Naruto, but Naruto couldn't accept it?
"Well, anyone who encounters such a big change in the people around them will not be able to accept it immediately."
Kakashi's whole body exuded a feeling of emptiness.
After killing Homura and Koharu, he felt empty.
He wanted to take care of his teacher's son, but Naruto didn't want anyone to approach him for now.
"Although Naruto is young, he has a very sharp heart."
"He hopes to make others accept him from the bottom of his heart, and he can't accept the apology from the villagers right now."
Iruka explained with some emotion on his face.
While they were talking, two people, one big and one small came over, and the Anbu didn't know whether to stop them or not.
The people who had arrived were Fugaku and Sasuke.
It was worth mentioning that Sasuke was also sluggish and listless at the moment.
His brother had become a traitor and betrayed the whole clan. He even intended to slaughter the whole clan.
He wanted to ask his brother why he wanted to do so, but he heard that Itachi was taken away by a mysterious person.
However, fortunately, Sasuke had a good personality and was popular among the Uchiha clansmen.
The clansmen would not take their anger out on a child.
"Yuta said that if Naruto and Sasuke were together, both of them might feel better...
Fugaku conveyed Yuta's words earnestly.
"Sasuke? But Naruto often quarrels with Sasuke at ninja school?"
Iruka said with some confusion.
Wouldn't it be counterproductive for Sasuke to console Naruto?
But they had no other way, and there was no harm in simply trying.
Soon.
The two little ones got together.
Naruto talked about how his dearest grandpa Hokage actually turned out to be a wicked villain.
Sasuke talked how his brother that he admired the most turned out to be a traitor who wanted to massacre his whole clan.
With the same confused and listless look, the two gradually began to chat.
Kakashi, Iruka and the others looked at each other with shock.
It actually worked?!
The great changes that were happening in Konoha quickly spread throughout the entire world.
Iwagakure
"Sarutobi Hiruzen was killed in the village by a youngster of his own village?"
Onoki sneered.
He was from around the same generation as Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But!
He was not the same as that trash Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Throughout the third great ninja war, he had been active in the front line of the battlefield.
On the other hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who commanded the village, had never gone to the battlefield at all.
"According to the spy we placed in Konoha, Uchiha Yuta, who killed Sarutobi Hiruzen, used a strange ninjutsu. He materialized a golden giant with Chakra that was several metres high, and it had great strength and durability. "
Onoki's son, Kitsuchi reported seriously.
Hearing this, Onoki's eyes froze for a moment.
Chakra materialized giant?
It can't be...
"Susanoo!"
Onoki struggled to squeeze the word out of his mouth.
He recalled a humiliating past scene.
Years ago, he and the Second Tsuchikage had gone to Konoha to sign an alliance agreement with Konoha.
But they were humiliated by Uchiha Madara who used Susanoo to toy with them.
"There will be no alliance. You just need to submit to Konoha."
These were the words of Uchiha Madara at that time.
Onoki still remembered it clearly up to now.
At that time, he, and his teacher who had not yet become the Second Tsuchikage couldn't even slightly resist in the face of that power.
"There are so many geniuses in Konoha."
Shaking his head and dispelling the memories in his mind, Onoki said with emotion.
His strength now had far surpassed that of the past.
If he faced Madara's Susanoo now, he would be able to stand his ground with dust release.
Unfortunately, Iwagakure was not full of talents like Konoha, and there was no one who could succeed him.
"Prepare to go to war against the Land of Fire, and bring that boy Deidara with you."
After a moment of contemplation, Onoki ordered.
Konoha had just experienced a great change. Of course, he wanted to take advantage of this.
Sunagakure
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa didn't plan to do anything.
Sunagakure was now too poor, and could only rely on him finding gold in the desert to maintain the village's expenses.
Even if he wanted to beat Konoha and earn some benefits, he had to consider the village's current situation first.
The only thing he sighed at was the cause of death of Konoha's White Fang.
Unexpectedly, such a strong person died just because of political matters. He was forced to commit suicide by the deliberate spread of rumors.
Land of Water
Kirigakure.
The Mizukage was now under Obito's control.
Unless Obito ordered it, Kirigakure didn't have any plans to take action against Konoha.
Kirigakure
"Uchiha Yuta...is that the same kid who defeated Darui?"
The Fourth Raikage quickly recalled the name.
In the past, he wanted to let Darui get the first place in the Konoha Chūnin exam and humiliate Konoha.
But in the end, Darui was eliminated in the first match of the third test.
As for the one who eliminated Darui, it was this Uchiha Yuta.
At thay time, he was so angry that he had smashed the table.
"That's right."
His assistant Dodai replied, "Sarutobi Hiruzen was killed, and the Sarutobi clan was also wiped out."
"And, before that, Danzo and his Root were also completely destroyed by Uchiha Yuta."
"That kid's strength has increased so quickly."
The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
Darui, who he had high hopes for had just recently become as strong as an Elite Jōnin.
But that brat Yuta was now already strong enough to kill the Hokage.
Obviously just a few years ago, Darui and Yuta had taken the Chūnin exam together.
After a few more years, who knows how strong Yuta will become?
The Fourth Raikage pondered, then turned to ask, "What is the situation of Konoha now, who will succeed as the Hokage? That brat Yuta?"
"There is no news about this. But what is certain is that Yuta has not currently become the Fifth Hokage." Dodai frowned and replied.
He couldn't understand Konoha's current situation either.
The Uchiha clan's coup was over, and the Third Hokage had been killed.
Why had they still not taken over as the Hokage?
What exactly was Yuta planning?
"Then what are we waiting for?"
The Fourth Raikage immediately made a decision and said, "Let the ninjas prepare to invade the Land of Fire!"
It would be a pity if he didn't invade the Land of Fire when such a good opportunity was presented to him.
Soon.
A large number of Iwa ninjas and Kumo ninjas were mobilized.
One marched ahead from the direction of the Land of Grass.
The other went ahead from the direction of the Land of Waves.
But their targets were the same, the Land of Fire, Konoha!
