Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 41 Background

Naruto was stunned: "What did you just say?" The topic changed so quickly that Naruto didn't react in time.

Sasuke was about to speak when he saw Naruto walking towards the telephone pole ahead, completely oblivious: "Hey, watch where you're going!"

"?!"

However, it was too late; Naruto crashed headfirst into the utility pole.

Sasuke put his hand on his forehead, looking helpless at Naruto: "You idiot!" He even doubted whether it was the right thing to do to tell Naruto these things at this time.

"It's all because of you just now..." Naruto said indignantly, but his voice grew softer and softer.

"Then forget it if you don't want to know." Sasuke spread his hands, making a move to leave...

"No, no, Sasuke, let's talk this out!" Naruto said, blocking Sasuke's way.

"Let's make it clear first, don't interrupt me while I'm speaking!"

"Definitely! Definitely!"

Sasuke frowned and began to recall, "The information I'm about to share comes from Uchiha Gen, who tried to take me away before. If it's true, your father should be the Fourth Hokage..."

"!!" Naruto's expression changed in shock. He was about to ask something, but then he remembered what Sasuke had said earlier, and swallowed the words back. The Fourth Hokage was actually—his father?!

"According to the information we have, your father became Hokage from a commoner ninja, and your surname is Uzumaki. So it is obvious that your mother should be a member of the Uzumaki clan. Logically speaking, you should also have red hair."

At this point, Sasuke paused suddenly, then asked the air behind him, "Am I right? —Kakashi-sensei."

Hearing the rustling of leaves, Kakashi walked out, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly. Since Sasuke had already guessed this, he wouldn't hide it anymore; it wouldn't be good if it caused any misunderstandings.

Although I didn't try to hide it, I just came to check out out of concern. But Sasuke was able to discover me so easily. It seems he has grown a lot. Is it the observational ability that comes with the three tomoe?

When Naruto saw Kakashi walking up from behind, he assumed Kakashi had just arrived and wanted to repeat what Sasuke had told him earlier, but Kakashi stopped him.

It has to be said that Naruto is still so carefree. Is it because he trusts himself?

"Sasuke guessed right, what Uchiha Gen told you is all true, but let me add some details."

At this point, Kakashi looked at Naruto seriously: "Naruto, no matter what I say next, you must always remember that you are Naruto, not the demon fox!" Kakashi originally wanted to wait until Naruto was a little older before telling him these things, but he didn't expect to be found out so quickly. Is it Uchiha Genji? It seems that his age is not what it appears to be.

"Naruto, your father is the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the youngest Hokage to be a commoner. Your mother is Kushina Uzumaki, the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..." Kakashi said, as if his memories had returned to that day.

After Kakashi finished speaking, the two people in front of him fell silent. Naruto stared blankly at his hands, the demon fox that killed his parents was inside him.

"..." Sasuke couldn't believe it. It was actually one of his own clansmen who had controlled the Nine-Tailed Fox, leading to the deaths of Naruto's parents. How could the Uchiha clan do such a thing?!

Suddenly, I thought of Uchiha Gen's strange attitude, and how he always concluded that he was too weak to do anything even if he knew something... Was the Uchiha clan really wiped out by Itachi?!

Thinking of this, Sasuke's breathing became heavy. This guess seemed like a lifeline pulling him away from hatred. But the next moment, Sasuke's eyes hardened, and he forcefully snapped this lifeline. Impossible! He had witnessed Itachi kill his parents with his own eyes. Thinking of this, Sasuke slowly composed himself.

Uchiha Gen, we need to find him and get the truth out of him! For some reason, Sasuke thought of Uzumaki Reikawa again, his brow furrowing slightly. Why did he think of him? What does this have to do with him?

Naruto looked at his hands, tears welling up in his eyes. He cried and laughed at the same time, trying to wipe away his tears with his hands. He realized he had parents; he wasn't a demon fox; his father was the famous Fourth Hokage, the hero who saved the village!

Seeing that Naruto hadn't gone astray and taken an extreme step, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was worried that Naruto wouldn't be able to handle revealing so many truths at once, and he was quite nervous about it.

Kakashi approached and squatted down slightly, rubbing Naruto's head: "You haven't let your parents down. You're excellent, a good boy."

Touched by these words, Naruto hugged Kakashi tightly, rubbing his head against Kakashi's body, saying, "Kakashi-sensei..."

"..." Kakashi looked at the snot that Naruto had rubbed on his body, resisted the urge to push Naruto away, and just stared blankly with a dead fish eye. Oh well, what can I do? I'm their teacher. Besides, Minato-sensei, Naruto is really surprisingly strong...maybe he can really become Hokage in the future.

After Naruto calmed himself down, he saw Sasuke standing silently beside him and suddenly put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder, forcibly pulling him closer: "Hey, I'm not blaming you. What your clansmen did is their business, and I can tell you who you are."

Sasuke impatiently slapped Naruto's hand away: "What you think is none of my business. Even if you want revenge, can you beat me?" Although he said that, his heavy mood inexplicably eased a little.

Looking at Naruto's optimistic demeanor, Sasuke couldn't help but feel speechless. Was this guy really unaware or pretending not to know? He was the child of a hero! Although he didn't know the specifics and various entanglements, Sasuke thought that even if it was for the sake of secrecy, it was still unreasonable to let those commoners bully the Hokage's child like this.

I can never become someone like Naruto, and I can never understand someone like him, but I have indeed considered him a friend, which is a very strange thing.

"..." Naruto's lips twitched. He really shouldn't have said those things to Sasuke. "Don't leave the training grounds tomorrow!"

"Whatever you say." Sasuke didn't say anything more, just turned his back to Naruto, waved goodbye, and said he had already gotten Naruto's answer. It was better for him to walk this path alone.

Meanwhile, Sai, who had escaped the mountain wind and Aburame Torune's frenzied cleaning in the centralized education classroom, was filled with various questions. So, doing wrong doesn't mean you don't get punished with instruments? Why was the teacher so concerned about him? But anyway, it felt pretty good, and what made him happiest was that his brother was there too…

Sai smiled as he thought of this, opened the sketchbook and drew this scene. This time, the scene did not depict a battle, but rather the teacher's figure on the podium.

Kurenai Yuhi temporarily served as an instructor; another Jonin will be sent next time. Her schedule was simply too full. Looking at these children, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes were filled with affection. Although teaching them was somewhat difficult and it was hard to change their minds, fortunately, these children had not been completely brainwashed and could still be corrected.

These children are very talented, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will become the pillars of Konoha in the future!
