49: Chapter 49 ShowdownNaruto smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Hyuga, I have already met my parents.Inside the seal inside my stomach, I also met the Nine-Tails and learned the whole truth."
"Naruto, do you really know?" Hiashi Hyuga was still somewhat skeptical.What if Naruto was so clever that he was trying to trick him?If he accidentally revealed Naruto's identity and it led to unimaginable consequences, the Hyuga clan might really be finished, and the Third Hokage might secretly make things difficult for them.
Seeing that Hiashi Hyuga was still hesitant and seemed incredulous, Naruto decided to embellish the facts and tell the whole story.
"Uncle Hyuga, don't be afraid I'm bluffing you.I really know everything.My name is Naruto Uzumaki.My father is the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze, and my mother is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina Uzumaki.I, Naruto Uzumaki, am the true son of a hero, and also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of this generation.Am I right, Uncle Hyuga?"
Hearing Naruto reveal his identity so clearly, Hiashi Hyuga slowly turned around and faced Naruto, saying, "Naruto, now that you know your identity, what are your thoughts on Konoha?"
We need to find out this clearly.If Naruto has a retaliatory personality disorder, then Hiashi Hyuga will immediately report it to the Third Hokage.We can't leave such a time bomb in the village.
"Uncle Hyuga, I don't want to lie to you.Some people in the village deserve to die, don't they?My tragic childhood was all because of these people.Sooner or later, I will make them taste the bitterness of pain.As for the other villagers, ignorance is bliss.The greatest torment for them is not to torment them at all.Wouldn't it be better to keep them in a dazed state all day long?"
Naruto was speaking the truth.The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and the two Hokage advisors would only hinder Konoha's development if they were kept around.They would have to be eliminated sooner or later.
Seeing that Naruto wasn't a typical binary thinker, or had a black-and-white attitude, Hiashi Hyuga breathed a slight sigh of relief.This meant there was still room for negotiation!
"We support your decision.As you now know, you are the son of the Fourth Hokage, so going back to the previous topic, we believe you have a very good chance of becoming Hokage.Your background is excellent.Only your status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki somewhat affects your competitiveness."
After all, no one wants to be led to become stronger by someone who can't even control their own power and is always at risk of losing control.
"Don't worry, Uncle Hyuga, I've reached a reconciliation with the Nine-Tails inside me.Once my body is fully developed, I can completely control the Nine-Tails' power and become a true, perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!" Naruto revealed a little bit of his secret to Hiashi Hyuga.
"What?You mean you've already managed to control the Nine-Tails?Is this some kind of backup plan from the Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki?That's terrifying!"
Hiashi Hyuga looked incredulous.This was the Nine-Tails, the strongest of the tailed beasts.Even with only half of the Nine-Tails, it could easily defeat all the tailed beasts except for the Eight-Tails!
"It's not about controlling you, Uncle Hyuga, it's about becoming friends!" Naruto smiled slightly, revealing a confident expression.
Hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga was somewhat convinced.After all, if someone knew the truth and found out that the Nine-Tails inside him had caused him so much trouble, he would definitely have complained about the Nine-Tails at first.It was because of its existence that he had suffered for so many years!
However, Naruto's words revealed his trust in Kurama and the word "friend," indicating that they may have actually become friends.
"So Naruto, tell me, what is your current strength?" Hiashi Hyuga asked curiously.From Naruto's confident words, it was clear that Naruto now possessed considerable strength!
Could he be better than Neji, who is known as a genius?It's really exciting to look forward to it.
If Naruto knew that he was still comparing himself to Hyuga Neji, he would laugh his head off.Right now, he was an opponent that Hyuga Neji couldn't defeat even if he gave it his all.
"Uncle, you have Byakugan, why don't you just look at yourself and see!" Naruto couldn't help but complain.He clearly has Byakugan, but he's reluctant to use it.If he doesn't use it now, when will he?
"Hahahaha, I forgot, I forgot!Let me see!" Hiashi Hyuga laughed awkwardly.He had been so focused on observing the strength of the Anbu around him that he had subconsciously overlooked Naruto's presence.
"Byakugan, activate!" Hiashi Hyuga activated his Byakugan, veins bulging around him, and turned his gaze to Naruto, instantly astonished by Naruto's chakra.
"Naruto, how can you have so much chakra at your age?You've already reached the standard of an elite Jonin.Even if you have the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, it shouldn't help your chakra this much!"
Hiashi Hyuga curiously voiced his doubts.
"Uncle Hyuga, all I can say is that it's all talent, everything is predetermined!Let me tell you something else, under normal circumstances, my strength is around that of an elite Jonin." Naruto threw out another harsh statement, instantly shocking Hiashi Hyuga.
Konoha Village is a place that produces many geniuses, but even in Konoha Village, there are geniuses among geniuses.
For example, Kakashi Hatake, at the age of five, applied to graduate early because of his father, the White Fang of Konoha, committed suicide.By the age of twelve, Kakashi was already a Jonin, which shows how powerful his talent was.
And then there's Uchiha Itachi, who entered the Ninja Academy at six, graduated successfully at seven, awakened his Sharingan at eight, and became the first genius to pass the Chunin Exams on his own at ten.
But that isEven these two geniuses cannot compare to Naruto now, who at the age of six has already reached the strength of an elite Jonin.
"Uncle Hyuga, are you surprised already?I haven't even told you about my hidden strength yet!" Naruto saw Hiashi Hyuga's shocked expression and decided to strike while the iron was hot.
The current state of Hiashi Hyuga is a stark contrast to his previous composed and strategic demeanor!
"What?Naruto, you actually have hidden strength?Tell me quickly, what else are you hiding?" Hiashi Hyuga looked incredulous.At the age of six, he possessed the strength of an elite Jonin, which was already incredible.But he didn't expect that Naruto was holding back.What other tricks does Naruto have up his sleeve?
"Could it be.the power of the Nine-Tails?" Hiashi Hyuga quickly realized.
"Yes, Uncle Hyuga, I can now fully control the power of the Nine-Tails.During battle, the Nine-Tails will continuously provide me with chakra, which is my advantage.Moreover, as I mentioned before, I saw my father and mother inside the seal in my stomach."
"It was with their help that I successfully broke the seal on the Nine-Tails, and my father, before he passed away, gave me his final gift."
Naruto paused for a moment, but Hiashi Hyuga continued asking questions.
"What?Naruto, with the Nine-Tails' help, what level of strength will you reach?Kage level?But you probably don't know any techniques yet, right?What did Minato leave you before he left?"
Hiashi Hyuga, like a curious child, kept asking Naruto questions.
"With the Nine-Tails' help, defeating the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is no problem!As for the gifts my father left me, they are his famous Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan, a ninjutsu without hand seals!"
Naruto's words deeply shocked Hiashi Hyuga; he had lost count of how many times he had been so shocked today!
"Naruto, you mean the Fourth Hokage left you the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan?Did you master them?" Hiashi Hyuga asked.
"I've only learned the Rasengan, a ninjutsu without hand seals.The Flying Thunder God Technique is much more difficult to master, and I haven't learned it yet!" Naruto didn't go into details when speaking to Hiashi Hyuga.
He only mentioned that he had learned the Rasengan.Hiashi Hyuga was completely stunned, his jaw dropped.
This is the Fourth Hokage's most famous offensive ninjutsu, the Rasengan.
The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu, the kind that's notoriously difficult to learn.Naruto couldn't learn it, and Hiashi Hyuga felt he could manage, but learning the Rasengan was a bit outrageous.It's an A-rank ninjutsu, so it's definitely difficult to learn.
"Naruto, your current strength has reached the level of an elite Jonin.With the help of Kurama, you might even gain strength surpassing that of a Kage.So what are your plans lately?You're not about to take action against some people in the village, are you?That wouldn't be a good thing for you!"
Hiashi Hyuga asked anxiously, "If Naruto were to target the villagers, the most likely culprits would be Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.These two are currently high-ranking officials in Konoha.If Naruto were to successfully assassinate them, he would have to abandon his ties to the village and seek refuge elsewhere."
"Of course not, Uncle Hyuga.If I wanted to assassinate someone, I probably would have done it already.Why would I need to wait until today?" Naruto didn't say much more.
"So Naruto, what do you want me to do with all this information you've revealed to me today?Should I report it to the Third Hokage?" Hiashi Hyuga was somewhat afraid that Naruto might unleash a destructive force surpassing that of the Nine-Tails.He worried that if he didn't handle it properly, the Hyuga clan might be wiped out.
"If possible, I hope you can keep this a secret, Uncle.I'll report to the Third Hokage once I've achieved the ability to gain freedom in the ninja world."
Since Hiashi Hyuga asked that question, it means that he didn't want Hiruzen Sarutobi to know so much.In his view, the end of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was inevitable, after all, he was getting old.
Naruto is now a rising star, so we must stick close to him.
"Understood, Naruto.Now, with your potential and strength, plus your status as the son of a hero, becoming Hokage should be a very smooth process for you!"
Hiashi Hyuga regained his confidence.It turned out that Naruto knew everything, so he didn't need to worry about the villagers' words affecting Naruto.
"So, Uncle Hyuga, I hope the Hyuga clan can support me.If I become Hokage later, I'm sure the Hyuga clan will receive corresponding rewards!"
"Naruto, since you've said that, then your uncle will definitely support you.I hope that when you become Hokage, you won't forget about us!"
"Uncle Hyuga, I promise you, I definitely won't.It's a promise, if I become Hokage, I won't marry into the Hyuga family, but I will definitely marry Hinata."
After learning so much, Hiashi Hyuga's fate was now closely intertwined with Naruto's.Hiashi Hyuga smiled and said, "Then it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
