"Yes, the Third did right by you all, but he failed Naruto, he failed the Fourth, he failed their family, and he failed Tsunade even more!"
"At least a few Uchiha are still alive. What about the Senju clan? Only Tsunade is left, right?"
Neji pointed to the sky and the ground, signaling everyone to look at Tsunade, who was already squatting on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. He said angrily, "You can be angry, you can be dissatisfied, you can decide what to do with Danzo, but Tsunade has done nothing wrong to you! And you are truly the criminals who poisoned Konoha."
Neji flicked his sleeve and ignored them. He had cleverly pushed the black history of the Uchiha Clan's rebellion onto Danzo's back. Anyway, he's a scapegoat... who cares? He's already dead, with no way to prove anything.
As for Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, hmph, if they dare to be nosy, two mummies will appear on Konoha's gates tomorrow.
Everyone was silent, and the scene was quiet for a moment.
Kakashi and Asuma had left at some point. Neji's words struck at their hearts, causing a feeling of sadness to well up inside them, shaking their beliefs.
Jiraiya seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Minato and Naruto were both his students, but now he couldn't face them.
Seeing everything Naruto had experienced as a child, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask himself what the point of such a life was. Maybe Naruto would live better if he left Konoha. This idea naturally startled him, but it lingered in his mind like an addiction.
"Ugh... my stomach hurts."
Not long after, Naruto woke up unsteadily, touching his stomach and letting out a scream. Minato's comfort had finally filled the last void in Naruto's heart, allowing him to fully accept this world.
Naruto laughed and put his arm around Neji's shoulder, squinting as he said, "That idiot dad told me a lot of things, funny stories from when Dad was a kid, and how he met Mom..."
Inside the seal, after Neji and the others left, Minato felt hostility towards Konoha, the village he had desperately protected, for the first time. He even had the idea of destroying Konoha, but it was ultimately resolved by Naruto's talk.
"Seriously, he's supposed to be an adult, but he's still like a child." Naruto scratched his head, but this only made everyone feel more guilty.
"Huh? Where's Pervy Sage?" Naruto suddenly paused and looked around.
"Over there." Neji pointed to an old man curled up in a corner.
"Oh." Naruto strode over.
"Naruto, do whatever you want to do. I won't stop you." Even without looking, Jiraiya knew who was coming. His gray hair covered his tired face as he muttered to himself.
"Pervy Sage, what are you talking about?" Naruto touched his chin, his face full of suspicion. "Never mind, Pervy Sage, Dad wants you to come inside."
"Come inside?"
"Yeah." Naruto pointed to his stomach.
"The Fourth is still there? Oh, I see." Neji smiled. It seemed that Nine Tails was gradually accepting Naruto. Had he been infected by Naruto somehow?
Actually, he was wrong. It was purely because Nine Tails suspected that Neji was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths that he agreed to help Naruto.
"Wow, as expected of Neji, you're as unfathomable as Kurama said." Naruto laughed.
{Shut up, don't call me Kurama.} Nine Tails' voice rang in Naruto's mind.
Jiraiya placed his hand on Naruto's stomach with a mixture of belief and anxiety, and sent a bit of his Chakra inside.
"Jiraiya-sensei."
Inside the seal, Minato bowed respectfully to Jiraiya. "Thank you for taking care of Naruto during this time."
Jiraiya looked at Nine Tails' Chakra connected to Minato's clone. He was surprised at first, then he understood. "So that's it. Nine Tails is lending you Chakra to let you survive."
"Don't overthink it. I'm just doing him a favor." Nine Tails' dissatisfied voice rang out.
"Huh? Wait... how is Nine Tails' Chakra connected to you? Wasn't he sealed... sealed away!" Jiraiya finally noticed that Nine Tails' seal had been broken.
"Uh, how should I put it? It's a long story." Minato scratched his head and smiled wryly. "In short, Naruto is now a perfect Jinchuriki."
"I see. Minato, you've seen everything Naruto went through as a child. What do you... do you have anything to say?" Jiraiya asked, lowering his head.
"Yeah, I'm very angry. It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. I've been wondering the whole time if it was worth it for my wife and I to give up our lives for Konoha."
"I knew it. I'm sorry, Minato. I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a teacher."
"No, Teacher, I'm very grateful for your training of Naruto. He's now an excellent ninja who has inherited the Will of Fire, even better than me as a father. That's something I'm proud of."
Minato was relieved. He felt a bit embarrassed when he remembered that he had just been lectured by his son, but mostly he was happy.
Naruto had grown up.
"Aaaah!"
At this moment, another fiery figure suddenly rushed over from the other side with a frying pan, flames surging behind her, and immediately swung it down at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was startled and dodged with his still nimble movements. When he saw who it was, his jaw dropped.
"K-K-Kushina, why are you here too? And where did you get that frying pan?"
No, that's not the question he should be asking right now.
Minato smiled wryly, sweating cold.
"You're still laughing? You saw our son's Sexy Jutsu, didn't you? It's all because of this disrespectful old man that Naruto was taught to be such a bad kid." Kushina saw Minato laughing and grabbed his collar, saying angrily.
"It's not my fault! That kid had already invented that jutsu before he met me." Jiraiya climbed up the wall, explaining quickly.
"You dare try to blame my son? I'm going to beat you to death today!"
"Sealing Jutsu: Adamantine Chains!"
Then, chains flew towards the desperate Jiraiya.
Kushina had also left a Chakra clone behind, so she was also alive in a different way, just like Minato. It could be considered a family reunion.
At this moment, outside, the turmoil of Konoha's split had gradually subsided, and everyone was throwing themselves into the village's construction with different feelings.
Neji's words had awakened them. Tsunade, Naruto, the Uchiha... they were all silently enduring things. What did they have to complain about?
As a result, these people's reputation reached an unprecedented level. If anyone dared to insult them, that person would probably die tragically at home the next moment.
"The host helped Tsunade out of a difficult situation, and received a reward..."
