Chapter 13: The Truth Revealed, The Identity Revealed



Chapter 13: The Truth Revealed, The Identity Revealed

Seeing the atmosphere at the scene gradually getting heated, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately seized the opportunity and said, "The reason why I called everyone to come here is to remember the heroes! Let them know that their sacrifice is not in vain! Let them see, Konoha has lived a stable life because of their guardianship!"

"Lord-Hokage is right! We are all doing well now!"

"Yes! I want to live a better life, proving that their choice was not wrong!"

The voices of approval resounded throughout the venue.

The enthusiasm, excitement, and atmosphere almost converged to the highest point.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted exactly it!

Seeing that the atmosphere was rendered almost the same, his style of painting changed: "But..."

This "but" made the audience quiet again, holding their breath, waiting for their Lord-Hokage to continue talking.

"Do you still remember the hero who really saved us from this disaster?"

After a pause, he looked around the venue. "I believe that no one on the scene will forget! He was the Fourth-Hokage, Namikaze Minato, who sacrificed his life to save everyone!"

Hearing the name Namikaze Minato, everyone presents subconsciously looked at Hokage Rock not far away. They looked towards the stone statue ranked fourth.

On the surface, there was not much mood swing. But in everyone's heart, there was a touch of gratitude.

Obviously, they would never talk about the Fourth-Hokage over and over. But as soon as an outsider or child asks, they would proudly say, 'That's our Fourth-Hokage, Namikaze Minato!' And began to introduce his heroic deeds.

The villagers remembered everything.

Gradually, as the first person in the field shouted the words, "Fourth-Hokage".

The voice also shouted one after another.

"FOURTH-HOKAGE!"

"FOURTH-HOKAGE!"

"FOURTH-HOKAGE!"

Naruto, surrounded by this turbulent public opinion, listened to everyone chanting his father's name, he was so excited that his entire cheeks turned red, and his whole body was trembling.

Excited!

Shocked!

'That's right! This is my dad, Namikaze Minato!'

At this moment, Naruto was proud of his father like never before. His father was the hero who saved the whole village, and he is this hero's son!

He was so small that he could not help raising his head and his chest and followed everyone to shout the name of his proud father.

At this time, the massive public sentiment was once again interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen's "but", and everyone was quiet again, ready to listen to Third-Hokage's next words.

"One thing really makes me feel very guilty. Because I didn't take care of the child left by Minato."

The voice fell, and the scene was silent. Then there was an uproar.

"This?! The Fourth-Hokage has a child? Why haven't we heard of it?!"

"I remember Fourth-Hokage's wife was indeed pregnant. But didn't they later say that they died together in that disaster?"

For civilians like them, the news they get is often deliberately spread and tinkered by the Konoha.

In order to conceal the news that Naruto was a child of Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen claimed to the public that Namikaze Minato and his family had died in the disaster. This also caused these civilians to be kept in the dark.

"You don't know about this matter, and it should be that way... Because I wanted to make Minato's son safe and peaceful and live a life as an ordinary person, I fabricated this news." Sarutobi Hiruzen explained.

Then, people in the crowd began to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen on the high platform:

"Lord-Hokage, who is this Fourth-Hokage's child? Where is he?"

"Yes, Lord-Hokage. If Fourth-Hokage really left a bloodline, then we must repay him well. We will not forget the favor of Fourth-Hokage!"

They all asked about the situation of Namikaze Minato's son. Everyone spokes the truth from their heart. They were indeed very grateful to Namikaze Minato.

If it were not for Namikaze Minato's sacrifice, they would not be here. The damage that the demon fox caused to the village at that time would only be more serious.

Naruto swallowed and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen in a daze, waiting for him to say his most anticipated moment today.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not disappoint Naruto, nor did he no longer bridge the situation.

"In the past few years, I'm sure everyone had heard the demon fox incarnation becoming a child, right? I don't need to say more. I believe everyone knows who this child is?"

Halfway Sarutobi Hiruzen finishing his sentence, every eye could not help but concentrate on the little Naruto standing in the center of the square.

Although they don't understand why Lord-Hokage suddenly talked about this annoying beast. But it does not prevent everyone from staring at Naruto with a disgusted look.

'It's him! It is because of this demon fox, this disaster happened back then! That's why so many people die!'

'The respected Fourth-Hokage died! It's all because of him!'

Just like this, a three-year-old child was treated as an enemy by everyone. He was overwhelmed by the disgusting look of the tens of thousands of spectators present.

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized what a huge wrong decision he had made. He ignored Naruto's feelings. It was he who once again broke his promise to others.

Senju Hashirama's wife, Uzumaki Mito, entrusted him to take care of his children and grandchildren before he died. As a result, Senju Clan was gone. Land-of-Whirlpools* also disappeared.

[*TL note: The Land of Whirlpools (Uzu no Kuni, Viz: Land of Eddies) is where the Uzumaki clan originates from. It no longer exists, having been destroyed and the rest of the survivors scattered across the world. The surname Uzumaki was very common in this country. It was located on an island off of the coast of the Land of Fire.]

It was him who promised in front of Hatake Sakumo that his boss would lead Sakumo together and let Konoha go to glory. As a result, he followed his confidant for many years but was forced to death by his own decision.

It was he who agreed to let his disciple, Orochimaru, to study First-Kage's cells and study Wood-Style**, but in the end, for this exact reason, he forced his disciple to rebel against the village.

[**TL note: Wood Release (Mokuton, Viz: Wood Style) is a nature transformation kekkei genkai, a combination of Earth and Water Release. It was famously used by Hashirama Senju. In fact, it is not known to have naturally occurred in anyone else, leading to it being regarded as impossible to use without having his cells. Because of Wood Release's power and versatility, there have been various efforts to reproduce it after Hashirama's death. Wood Release techniques are commonly affiliated with the Snake hand seal.]

His disciple, Tsunade, disappointed with him, left the village.

His disciple, Jiraiya, who was also disappointed with him, was away for a long time.

Although they didn't say anything, how would Sarutobi Hiruzen not guess what his apprentices were thinking?

And now, because of him, that Naruto, his grand disciple Minato's son, who was only 3 years old, suffered this treatment.

Looking at the center of the square, Naruto was overwhelmed by everyone's stare, not knowing what to do.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt guilty. He couldn't help but doubt himself, doubting whether everything he had done over the years was right or wrong He glanced at his close friend hidden in the dark, Shimura Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly.

'He doesn't care about that much anymore.'

He spoke loudly towards everyone: "The claim that the demon fox incarnated into a child is actually wrong. The real situation is that the Fourth-Hokage sealed the demon fox into an innocent baby. And this baby is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto! At the same time, he is also Fourth-Hokage's, Namikaze Minato's biological son!"
