Naruto was silent, lowering his head to think for a moment before looking at Minato Namikaze's expectant yet fearful gaze.
"I'm not very interested in complaining, after all, the past is the past, and now they can only dare to be angry but not speak out against me."
Minato Namikaze's expression dimmed slightly upon hearing this.
"However," Naruto's tone suddenly shifted, "if you really want to know, why not let you see it for yourself?"
Having said that, Naruto ignored Minato Namikaze's rekindled anticipation and looked at Kurama, who was also looking down at him, raising his fist high.
"Kurama, if I remember correctly, this is called the Shinobi Sect, right?"
Kurama's eyes widened, filled with shock, but also hesitation, "Kid, you didn't mention this beforehand, and gaining my approval isn't that easy!"
"Hahaha, I don't need your approval, Kurama. Human lifespans are quite short, and there won't be another Jinchuriki. You'll be free in a few decades, so why not just treat it as a way to pass the time?" Naruto said with a smile.
Kurama was silent, looking at Naruto's smiling face, feeling a strange sense of discomfort. This kind of sunny expression shouldn't appear on this guy's face; this kind of fake smile is more suitable for the Fourth Hokage.
However, this kid Naruto is to its liking; at least this year has been much more interesting than the past few decades. After all, they are partners, and it expects to see many interesting things in the coming decades.
Kurama also grinned, extending its huge paw and stamping it on Naruto's fist.
"Well, just treat it as a way to pass the time."
Boom—
A powerful Chakra wave erupted from Naruto, golden Chakra surging like a tsunami, forming a huge vortex. Naruto's body was enveloped in this power, his eyes turned into vertical slits, and on his skin, fine golden lines moved like living things, outlining mysterious patterns.
Having unsealed half of the seal was enough for Naruto to enter this Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.
"This is..."
Minato Namikaze's eyes were filled with horror. Even Kushina couldn't use the Tailed Beast Chakra to this extent. Perhaps only the first Jinchuriki, Lady Mito, could do this.
On the other side of the gate, Naruto also raised his fist towards Minato Namikaze.
"Fourth Hokage, come and see if you want, the past of Uzumaki Naruto!"
Minato Namikaze looked at Kurama's mocking eyes and Naruto's unwavering vertical pupils, and the unease in his heart suddenly amplified.
He gritted his teeth and walked over, his eyes fixed on Naruto, filled with apology.
Two fists collided.
In an instant, Minato Namikaze froze on the spot.
As the Chakra from Naruto's body entered, Minato Namikaze gained Kurama's ability to sense malice.
And throughout the entire Konoha village, the dense, chilling malice made this mature adult feel a chill down his spine.
"This, this..."
Before Minato Namikaze could finish speaking, Naruto's memories began to flood into his mind.
At this moment, he became Uzumaki Naruto, feeling the malice of the past.
A burning pain kept coming from his throat, the magma-like heat flowing through his throat and down into his stomach.
He wanted to know what was happening and opened his eyes, but he saw a hideous smiling face in front of him, constantly pouring hot water into his mouth.
"Why did my child die, yet you are completely fine?"
Minato Namikaze's eyes were bloodshot and wide with fury.
But the scene before him suddenly twisted and changed.
He was walking alone on the streets of Konoha, the surrounding villagers all giving him hateful and resentful looks, constantly uttering various curses.
He was hungry and wanted to go to a restaurant to eat, but as soon as he entered, the owner pushed him out. His small body fell to the ground, his palms already covered in blood.
He then planned to buy some instant noodles at the supermarket, but the clerk directly grabbed all the instant noodles in Naruto's hands and smashed them in his face, driving him out.
In the end, he could only eat nearly expired instant noodles while shedding tears.
The scene constantly changed. He sometimes saw Naruto eating poisonous mushrooms from the mountains because he was hungry, vomiting and having diarrhea alone in his rented house.
He also saw Naruto, who was only three years old, already having to catch fish in the water by himself.
In Naruto's memory, the Konoha villagers he once protected were as terrifying as demons, his former friends were as cold as strangers, and his former subordinates chose to protect themselves.
Why was there not a single person willing to give his child a little kindness?
Even if it was just charity, couldn't they at least keep Naruto from going hungry?
Even the Third Hokage, whom he had always admired, was like a hypocritical old man, full of benevolence and morality, yet still dividing up the food that Naruto had managed to obtain.
Konoha Village, how dare they bully his child like this!
"How, how could this be? Why..."
The memories flashed by, Minato Namikaze's body trembled slightly, his straight back slowly bent, and his whole person was like a shrimp. Whether it was because of sadness or anger, his eyes were also filled with bloodshot veins.
Why, why did Naruto have to bear such hatred!
Minato simply couldn't believe that the villagers who had been respectful and friendly to him during his lifetime would become so ugly and vicious.
The villagers he had once been willing to sacrifice his life to protect and regarded as family would actually hurt his child in this way.
He didn't know why the Konoha higher-ups didn't announce Naruto's identity as the Hokage's son after his death, but instead allowed the rumors of the Demon Fox's incarnation to spread throughout the village.
And the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio, why couldn't they even provide some relief to his child? Master Jiraiya, where are you at this time?
Third Hokage, how could you become so hypocritical and incompetent?
It was precisely because he believed in the village and in the Third Hokage that he chose to protect Konoha and the villagers of Konoha with his life, choosing to die with Kushina.
He knew that Jinchuriki would be ostracized, because the Jinchuriki of all villages were like this, but he was the Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage who died for the village. Naruto, as his child, even as a Jinchuriki, should enjoy the support of the Konoha villagers.
But the Third Hokage, on whom he had placed high hopes, allowed Naruto to become an outlet for the villagers' hatred, while Sarutobi Hiruzen was still able to sit high on his Hokage seat as if nothing had happened.
Naruto, who should have been born bearing the title of a hero's son, instead bore the hatred of the entire village from the moment he was born.
Minato Namikaze suddenly realized how ridiculous he was. Not only was his wife ostracized and discriminated against by these guys in the past, but now even his child had become a rat running across the street.
Minato Namikaze, what exactly did you protect?
Is there really any need to protect such a village?
"I'm sorry, Naruto, I, I didn't expect it to be like this..."
Minato Namikaze's hunched body and the face hidden beneath his hair were full of pain. Two streams of tears flowed slowly, and his lips trembled incessantly as he spoke.
"What's with that look? What are those expressions and tears for?"
The Nine Tails Chakra on Naruto's body had long since been withdrawn, and he had returned to his original appearance. Looking at Minato Namikaze, his tone was somewhat disdainful, "What use are your tears now?"
"Or are you hoping to get my forgiveness?"
Minato Namikaze's body trembled slightly. He wiped away the tears on his face, looked at his son, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and shook his head.
"I don't seek your forgiveness, but at least let me make up for some of the mistakes I made in the past."
Minato Namikaze clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his expression was very sincere.
Naruto didn't waste any time.
"I need the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Four Symbols Sealing Technique."
