Temari: "Did you find out?"
Kankuro: "Not many things make Black-framed Naruto-kun lose his composure like that."
Nara Shikamaru: "It seems that's right."
Danzo Shimura: "Alas... Poor Naruto, damn Hiruzen! Hiruzen, do you have any last words?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Danzo, I curse your ancestors!"
Beep—
Hiruzen Sarutobi has been muted for one hour.
Ino Yamanaka: "As expected of Black-Framed Naruto, he really guessed his own background just by looking."
Mei Terumī: "It's not that simple, little sister Ino, you underestimate Black-Framed Naruto too much."
Ōnoki: "Indeed, that child... his worldview might have already been overturned."
Mabui: "I feel like it's constantly being destroyed and then constantly rebuilt, destroyed and rebuilt, destroyed and rebuilt, repeating this process endlessly!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "My poor child... boo hoo~ Do whatever you want, Mama will definitely help you!"
Minato Namikaze: "Papa will always stand behind you too."
Orochimaru: "The time is too short, Black-framed Naruto-kun won't experience the situation you described, Mabui."
Orochimaru: "At least he needs to calm down first."
Fourth Raikage: "Hmm, I agree with Orochimaru on that point."
Kurotsuchi: "Hmm... isn't it normal to recognize one's background at a glance?"
Kurotsuchi: "Even if I hadn't watched before, I could still recognize it."
Kurotsuchi: "No wonder That old man, the Third Hokage, was muted. This, as long as it's not... uh, no, you Konoha villagers, you're all stupid, blind, deaf, foolish, and bad..."
Kurotsuchi was insulting Konoha without repeating herself.
Konoha's side was furious, but she kept listing various pieces of evidence.
Directly silencing them.
["This is bad!"]
[The Four Little Ones stopped simultaneously.]
["What are you doing?"]
["Run!"]
[Seeing this, Tenten quickly urged them.]
["You run by yourself."]
[Ino put all the money she picked up back into Tenten's arms.]
[The Four Little Ones also quickly gave the money they picked up to Tenten.]
[Tenten was stunned, not understanding what they were going to do.]
["Naruto-kun hasn't come out yet, we need to go back and check.", Hinata spoke without stuttering.]
["What?!"]
[Tenten exclaimed in surprise.]
[However, just then.]
[A figure slowly appeared.]
["Naruto!"]
["Naruto-kun~!"]
[The Four Little Ones rejoiced.]
[But when they saw little Naruto's somewhat forced smile, they frowned again.]
[It was too obvious.]
[Even Tenten noticed it.]
[She frowned slightly, took a step forward, and said, "Little handsome guy, what's wrong?"]
["My dad didn't make things difficult for you, did he?!"]
["Wait, I'm going back right now to make him apologize to you!"]
["How dare he?"]
["Worst case, I won't take his secret stash, I'll give it all to Mom!"]
[Little Naruto stopped Tenten and shook his head.]
["No, Tenten-jie, your father didn't make things difficult for me."]
["He even let me take the most crucial thing."]
["That photo?"]
[Tenten asked.]
[Little Naruto nodded.]
["Oh, your father asked me to give you a message."]
["I'm not listening!"]
[Tenten stopped running, rolled her eyes, and started happily counting the money.]
["Just spend it all, don't tell your mom."]
[Little Naruto said.]
["Oh! If it's not enough, I'll find you again, I'll keep this secret... uh..."]
[Mid-sentence, Tenten froze.]
[How did she reply so smoothly?]
[Never mind, it doesn't matter.]
[Tenten's beautiful big eyes curved like crescent moons.]
["Yours, and yours..."]
[Then, Tenten gave another bill to Naruto.]
["Great!"]
["No need to come to the shop for at least two months, hahaha~!"]
["I'll treat you all to tea and snacks~"]
[Tenten patted her bulging pocket, her face full of pride.]
[It seemed that she felt no guilt at all about discovering her old father's secret and plundering his secret stash; instead, she felt proud of it.]
This scene made those old fathers' eyes red.
This little cotton-padded jacket, how could it leak so easily?
No, this wasn't a leak; this was a flood!
["But before that, little handsome guy, can you show us the Fourth Hokage's photo?"]
[As soon as Tenten finished speaking, she suddenly froze.]
[How did it suddenly reverse? It became her asking him to see the Fourth Hokage's photo.]
[Little Naruto's mouth twitched, forcing a smile.]
[Looking at the expectant yet puzzled eyes of The Four Little Ones.]
[He sighed.]
[Then, he slowly took out the photo from his arms.]
[The others quickly gathered around, surrounding little Naruto.]
[Everyone held their breath.]
[Finally, the Fourth Hokage's photo appeared before them.]
[What met their eyes was a handsome—large-sized Naruto—with golden hair, blue eyes, wearing Konoha Jonin's distinctive green vest and blue tight pants?!]
["Ah?"]
["Naruto-kun... are you sure this is the Fourth Hokage?"]
["Naruto-kun... Naruto-kun... Naruto-kun's brother?"]
["Oh my~!"]
["Little handsome guy turned into a big handsome guy?!"]
["Naruto, this... no mistake, right? Is this really the Fourth Hokage?"]
["..."]
[His companions were all stunned.]
[Even they could tell at a glance that Minato and little Naruto had a deep connection.]
[Let alone little Naruto himself?]
Ino Yamanaka: "To be fair, he's really handsome!"
Sakura Haruno: "Yes, he smiles so brightly. No wonder Black-Framed Naruto is so handsome too~!"
Hyuga Hinata: "And... and... Aunt Kushina must be very beautiful too..."
Uzumaki Kushina: "Oh~ Hinata is so good~ Let Auntie give you a hug~"
On the other side, Anko Mitarashi and Yūgao Uzuki were also teasing Kurenai Yuhi.
Minato Namikaze's good looks were undeniable.
Coupled with his gentle and elegant personality, his appeal was even greater.
["Naruto... this shouldn't be true, right?"]
[Facing his companions' questions.]
[Little Naruto was silent for a moment.]
[Then he put away the photo and said with a smile, "Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't."]
["Or, the Fourth Hokage and I are of the same clan."]
["It's just that our surnames are different."]
["My surname is Uzumaki, his surname is Namikaze."]
["Right?"]
[Little Naruto's mouth curved into a smile familiar to The Four Little Ones.]
[This made them breathe a sigh of relief.]
["Mhm mhm, Naruto is right. Otherwise, something like that... how could it be possible~?"]
[Ino quickly nodded in agreement.]
["That's certainly true. But, little handsome guy, you and the Fourth Hokage really look like you were carved from the same mold."]
[Tenten nodded.]
[Rather than believing such an outrageous thing as little Naruto being the Fourth Hokage's brother or son, Tenten preferred to believe little Naruto's explanation.]
[The girls all felt the same, and Choji thought so too.]
[However, Shikamaru didn't think so.]
[In fact, he immediately realized why the Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan had been reluctant to provide little Naruto with historical documents from the past decade.]
[It turned out all the reasons were here.]
[Whew—]
[Shikamaru's heart was incredibly shaken.]
[He looked at the 'back to normal' little Naruto and felt a bit of pity.]
[So, on the way to have tea, led by Tenten, he secretly asked:]
["Naruto... are you really okay?"]
["I'm fine."]
[Little Naruto replied without any hesitation, still smiling.]
["But..."]
[The four girls walking ahead all slowed their pace simultaneously, their ears twitching.]
[Before Shikamaru could finish speaking, little Naruto replied with a smile:]
["Even if it were true, so what?"]
["The deceased are gone, and besides... I don't know him at all."]
