To Tobirama Senju, Uchiha must be evil by nature, yet Konoha's fighters are so few…
Tobirama Senju"You're right, brother, this is unethical… attacking a wounded junior with a lethal jutsu."
Uchiha Madara"Indeed, still a child at heart. Which adult gets angry at a kid?"
Fourth Raikage Darui"Totally agree. Ōnoki, what you did was too much using World Removal on a child?"
Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi"Exactly. I'm the Mizukage, and I at least used Lava Release openly. You old geezer just spread your arms and hurled him away."
Rasa"It's terrifying on reflection. Orochimaru at least warned me I'd die. You just said everyone wanted him dead and struck. Amazing!"
Orochimaru"Huh, Rasa, you finally appreciate my methods?"
Rasa"…one stroke of color and you get arrogant?"
Madara Uchiha"Danzo Shimura, you'd better explain yourself."
Danzo Shimura froze, how could he explain this mess?
System"Selection time is over!"
System"74321 chose A"
System"421 chose B"
Though most chose A, some still trusted Sasuke. Why wouldn't Uchiha believe one of their own? That included Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi and the like. Even if B is wrong, they stand by Sasuke. The Hidden Villages… in fact the entire shinobi world favored A. This quiz's spoils were disastrous.
System"The correct answer is B! Correct players receive 100,000 gold! Wrong players lose C-rank jutsu ×2!"
Danzo Shimura gaped, "He's not dead? Impossible!"
All of Iwagakure, having chosen A, lost two C-rank jutsu each. Though only two techniques, C-rank still takes time to learn!
Uzumaki Naruto stared at his 100,000-gold balance, confused… Did the world change while I slept? What are these chat features? And the big screen?
Why are Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki so intimate, calling me by name? Who are they?
Naruto"@Minato Namikaze, @Kushina Uzumaki, who are you? Do I know you?"
At Naruto's question, the shinobi world shifted attention what? The Fourth Hokage's son doesn't recognize his parents?
Minato Namikaze hesitated did Third Hokage never tell Naruto?Kushina Uzumaki snapped,"What do you mean? We protected our son so well he never knew we exist?"
Genin Ninja A"Excuse me, did you say Nine-Tails is your son?"
Genin Ninja B"That's impossible! Isn't he the Nine-Tails Fox? Didn't the Third say he killed the Fourth and ruined the village?"
Genin Ninja C"So… we treated the hero's son as the Nine-Tails Fox all these years?"
At Kushina's words, every resident of Konoha froze. Though Minato had told them Naruto was their son, everyone thought they'd misheard.
But now the Fourth Hokage's wife was speaking clearly: Uzumaki Naruto is her son. The child long mistaken for the Nine-Tails Fox is the hero's son, the Fourth's heir! The child once spat upon as his parents' murderer…
Elite Anbu remained silent. Many Chūnin, unaware of these secrets, only knew orders from above: protect the Fox.
Hashirama Senju was quiet, looking at Minato, guilt in his eyes. Tobirama Senju couldn't help asking: treated the hero's son as a monster?
Minato's gaze narrowed, lips twitching in anger. But Hiruzen Sarutobi had vanished from that moment Danzo passed blame gone.
As for the extras? Laughable, planted by Danzo! The Fourth's death had little to do with Danzo, rather Obito's infiltration, Kakashi's copy jutsu at the tomb, then all truths revealed. Danzo happily let others focus elsewhere that he fled unnoticed.
Ōnoki smiled, at last no one accused him of sneak attacks!
Naruto"So… you two are my father and mother?"
Minato Namikaze"Yes, Naruto. We're sorry we couldn't stay by your side."
Kushina Uzumaki"Mama is sorry too."
Naruto"So I'm the son of heroes? The Fourth's son? I'm not the Fox? I do have parents? I'm not an orphan?"
Minato blinked spirits can cry too! Rage turned to sorrow. A parent's heart breaks at a child's tears.
Kushina too felt her chest tighten how to answer?
The Twelve Genin of Konoha watched with heavy hearts. Shikamaru remembered the time Naruto begged to play longer as they said farewell at the gate "Can't we stay a little longer?" "It's too late, not safe."
Kiba recalled seeing Naruto alone on the fence, labeled a fox demon yet determined to protect Hinata.
Sakura remembered telling Sasuke, "You're an orphan."
Hinata remembered Naruto's scarred stance yet unwavering protection.
That lonely, strong child who once painted the Hokage Rock only to have his work erased… the child always isolated on the school swing… again, writing Naruto's recognition floods my eyes with tears…
