Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 271 Something's not right. Has Naruto really been influenced by the Otsutsuki clan?

"Once even the seal on the Eighth Tail is broken, I will appear in your consciousness."

Minato Namikaze explained, "I did a little trick on the seal, although I desperately wanted it to not turn out this way, because I don't want to see you again, Kurama."

Minato Namikaze glanced at the Nine-Tails behind him, his face grim.

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tails roared angrily, "It's that guy again!"

"However, I'm also looking forward to seeing my son when he's all grown up, so it's a mixed blessing."

Minato Namikaze said.

"Fourth Hokage, come and see me tear you to shreds!" Kurama roared, interrupting him.

"They said they'd tear me to pieces, but they couldn't even get close to me. Am I right, Naruto?"

Minato Namikaze smiled at his son and said.

"Naruto is my name, so why does the Fourth Hokage know my name?"

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki was unaware that the person in front of him was his father.

"Because I named you Naruto, you are my son."

Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and said.

"Son, it's me?"

Naruto Uzumaki was incredulous.

"As I just said, you are my son," said Minato Namikaze.

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but burst into tears, which flowed uncontrollably.

Seeing Naruto Uzumaki shed tears, Sasuke Uchiha, who was reading the diary, couldn't help but feel a little sad. He was indeed very miserable and pitiful, having lost his parents at a young age, but he had experienced the love of his father and mother.

The student who was at the bottom of his class never experienced the love of his parents from a young age, and didn't even find out who his father was until he was fifteen or sixteen.

So the question Kitahara Kaede asked in her diary was whether it was worse for her to have gained something and then lost it, or for Naruto Uzumaki to have never had it at all.

He thought Naruto might be in a worse situation.

Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze immediately took his son into another spiritual space.

"The Third Hokage didn't seem to say anything. He's trying to hide as much information as possible about the Nine-Tails," Minato Namikaze said, but his face clearly showed his displeasure. "If people find out you're my son, many dangers will befall you."

"dad!"

Naruto shouted and then punched Minato Namikaze hard in the stomach.

To everyone's surprise, except for Minato Namikaze and the Seventh Naruto.

"Hahaha, he really is my son, just like him!"

Minato Namikaze recalled that he had a similar moment when he first met Naruto.

"Why did you seal the Nine-Tails inside me, your son? Because of you, I have suffered a lot. Adults have been cold to me, and it has been hard for me to make friends. So I have been working hard, hoping that everyone can recognize me. I have been training hard to become stronger. Then I met Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, and the Perverted Sage. I am very happy to be able to become stronger."

However, this also made me a target of Akatsuki, forcing me to train even harder. I finally became stronger, but my companions were all killed by Akatsuki. And me... huh... I... ah, I can't tell if I'm happy or angry anymore.

Naruto rubbed his head, unsure whether he should be angry or happy to finally see his father.

Upon hearing Naruto's words, not only Minato Namikaze, the person directly involved, had tears in his eyes, feeling sorry for his future son.

Kakashi Hatake, Tsunade, and Jiraiya also felt bitter. Minato Namikaze certainly failed in his duties as a father, but he also had his reasons. He died at the hands of the Nine-Tails while protecting Konoha.

But what about them? One was Minato Namikaze's teacher, another was Minato Namikaze's disciple, and even Tsunade and Minato Namikaze had a good relationship. Under these circumstances, none of the three of them took good care of Naruto Uzumaki, letting him grow up in such a dangerous environment from a young age. How could they not feel guilty?

They even recalled the contents of Kitahara Kaede's previous diary. If you think about it, it's true. Being ostracized since childhood, unable to make friends, and even going hungry, it's normal for him to turn into Uzumaki Menma.

But having such a sunny and cheerful appearance is actually problematic.

Jiraiya was even more reminded of the so-called Otsutsuki Ashura mentioned in Kitahara Kaede's diary.

Is Naruto currently influenced by the personality of the so-called Ashura Otsutsuki?

Suddenly, I felt like something was wrong.

As Sasuke Uchiha looked at Naruto Uzumaki's meeting with his father in the diary, he felt a pang of envy. At least for now, he could say that the future Naruto Uzumaki would be able to see his father, while he himself would definitely never have that chance.

There are things about him that I admire!

But then he thought, Naruto Uzumaki had endured so much before.

In fact, Sasuke Uchiha had seen Naruto Uzumaki being ostracized before, but he only saw bits and pieces and couldn't piece together the whole picture.

After all, at that time he was only focused on revenge and didn't have much feeling for anything else.

Only now can one truly understand what it's like for an orphan to be ostracized.

Both were orphans, but Naruto Uzumaki was much worse off than him. At least he had the title of an orphan of the Uchiha clan, so no one openly ostracized him. He was lonely, while Naruto Uzumaki was ostracized while being lonely.

"Naruto, how old are you?" Minato Namikaze listened to his son's complaints, his heart heavy.

Sixteen years old.

Naruto Uzumaki answered while wiping away his tears.

"Really? You're already sixteen?"

Minato Namikaze sighed, "It seems you've been through a lot of pain, Naruto. I'm sorry."

As a father, he was also helpless in the face of this situation.

"I have no face to ask you to forgive me for making you suffer so much as your son."

"It doesn't matter anymore. After all, I'm the son of the Fourth Hokage. I can tolerate it!"

Naruto Uzumaki quickly accepted his change in identity. Although he had some complaints, he was actually very happy, having been an orphan since childhood.

Seeing that his son had calmed down, Minato Namikaze continued, "I left half of the Nine-Tails' chakra before sealing it because I believed you could control how to use this power. If he were my son, there would be a reason why I would do this on purpose. Sixteen years ago, when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, I learned something."

"Back then, there was a mastermind controlling the Nine-Tails to attack the village, and this mastermind was an extremely powerful ninja. Without extraordinary strength, it would be impossible to contend with him. I'm afraid they will attack the village again!"

As everyone who read the diary knew, this special mastermind was one of the Akatsuki members, and the guy who called himself Uchiha Madara, but was actually Uchiha Kenji, was also a member of the Akatsuki.

Minato Namikaze explained the events of that year to Naruto Uzumaki. Although he didn't go into details, it was enough to make Naruto think about many, many things.

Even Nagato was someone she manipulated.

"Minato's assessment was that Nagato was also manipulated by that Uchiha Kenji?"

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then said, "Minato still sees things so clearly."

As Minato Namikaze explained the ninja system of this world, and how killing led to even more hatred, he couldn't help but sigh. Minato was indeed the perfect ninja he admired the most. His perspective was somewhat similar to Nagato's, as he also believed that many problems were byproducts of the ninja system itself.

Whether it's killing or hatred, it's all the same.

The problem cannot be solved by killing one or two people.

"But even so, I cannot forgive Payne."

Naruto Uzumaki said with a sad expression.

Both of his teachers died at Payne's hands, and he could never forgive Payne for that.

"Fourth Hokage, please tell me, what should I do?"

Naruto asked, looking confused.

He sought an answer from his father.

"You'll have to find the answer yourself; I don't know what the answer is either," Minato Namikaze said frankly.

He was also part of the ninja system, and he couldn't completely break away from it.

"Even the Perverted Sage and the Fourth Hokage don't know, how could I possibly know?" Naruto couldn't help but say. "You're all too willful. I'm not very bright, and I'm not that great a ninja. Besides..."

"6

He wanted to continue speaking, but Minato Namikaze grabbed his head and said, "You will definitely find the answer. I believe in you. No matter where you are, you must believe in your child. That's what parents are all about. And I'm leaving now. My chakra is gradually decreasing. I will repair the seal, but this is the last time."

Konoha can be rebuilt, please, Naruto.

"Thank you, Dad."

Naruto Uzumaki said with a resolute expression.

"No matter where you are, believing in your child's abilities—that's what makes a parent..."

Uchiha Itachi thought of his father, who seemed to have said something similar before his death. Faced with his rebellion, even though his father had the same Mangekyou Sharingan as him, he did not choose to resist or even try to stop him.

Is it the same thought? Did your father entrust his hopes to you, believing that you and Sasuke could do it?

Thinking of this, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but have his eyes redden, as if his thoughts had returned to that night, the night he personally raised the butcher's knife.

However, he quickly suppressed these thoughts, though other ideas had already taken root in his mind.

Can he also trust Sasuke?

Perhaps, we could let him know more and allow him to make his own choices?

"No, no, that's too dangerous. This world is too dangerous." Uchiha Itachi immediately shook his head, dismissing the idea.
