Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 59 The Root of Sorrow

In Jiraiya's imagination, Naruto, as the son of the fourth Hokage and the descendant of a hero, although his parents died, at least he can grow up healthily in Konoha as an orphan. After all, there are no orphans in Konoha Village. , Most of the ninjas who died in the war in the past also had children, and the children they left behind would live alone under the care of Konoha, such as Kakashi, Iruka, and even Orochimaru and himself did not come here like this Well.

But he didn't expect that Naruto's life was obviously different from what he imagined.

Although Jiraiya hasn't actually met Naruto yet, judging from the environment inside the house, it seems that Naruto's life can't be described with the word 'good' at all.

First of all, judging from the interior layout of the room, the furnishings in the house are very messy, and the garbage is discarded everywhere. Although these are caused by Naruto himself, judging from the smell from the garbage, they have been discarded in the It has been placed here for a long time, and no one cleaned it up for such a long time, which means that no one took care of Naruto.

The second point is that the food in Naruto's house is very simple. He only drinks milk and eats instant noodles besides instant noodles. This shows that his living habits are very bad and his diet is not standardized. Proper care.

You must know that six or seven-year-old children like Naruto are at the best stage of growing their bodies, so a full range of nutritional intake is very necessary. Unhealthy eating habits will affect their physical development and affect their future growth. is very disadvantageous.

This shouldn't be the way Naruto was treated...

Zilai also complained about this.

According to Naruto's status, even if he didn't receive the original treatment as the son of Hokage, at least he had to arrange someone to take care of his diet and daily life, but Jilai didn't see any of these.

What he saw was only a poor orphan, who lived alone at a young age, with no relatives and reasons, alone, so that he was completely unable to take care of himself, so his living environment was chaotic and his diet was single.

Is this the life Naruto should have?

There was a look of sadness in Jiraiya's eyes, maybe even the children in the orphanage had a better life than him.

"It's all my fault..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi let out a long sigh, walked forward slowly, and glanced around the room, when he saw those messy scenes, his eyes dimmed suddenly, and he said in annoyance.

"what happened?"

Jiraiya turned around with a slight reproach expression on his face. He didn't believe that all of this was deliberately arranged by Sarutobi Hiruza, but it was an indisputable fact that Naruto's life was a mess, so he hoped that Sarutobi would Sun Zhan can give a reasonable explanation.

"Ugh……"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed, looked past the huge glass window in Naruto's house, and looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance, with a look of guilt in his eyes.

"You should know that Minato chose to seal the nine tails in Naruto's body, intending to make him a hero, because Naruto sacrificed himself for the village, thus becoming the container of the nine tails."

"Ah."

Jiraiya nodded, he could imagine what kind of mood Namakaze Minato chose to seal the Kyuubi in Naruto's body, but there is no doubt that Minato loved his child, although he chose to let Naruto Sacrifice for the village, but at the same time he definitely hopes that the villagers can treat Naruto as a hero.

"I thought so too, but..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at him, with a kind of helplessness in his eyes: "The adults in the village don't think so."

He slowly recounted the events of these years.

"Over the years, the attitudes of the adults in the village toward Naruto have been roughly divided into two types. The first is fear. They are afraid of Kyuubi, and at the same time they are afraid of Naruto as the container of Kyuubi, because they are afraid that one day Kyuubi will Will break out again, so these people are keeping a distance from Naruto as much as possible, deliberately alienating him, ignoring him, ignoring his existence, I think most of the villagers should have this attitude."

"So, is there another kind?" Jiraiya asked, Hiruzaru Sarutobi said that there are two kinds, one is fear, and what is the other?
"The other is hatred.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi replied word by word.

"They didn't regard Naruto as a hero, nor did they regard him as a container to seal the nine-tails, but they regarded him as the nine-tailed demon fox who killed their relatives, although under my strict order, they did not They can't really do anything to Naruto, but they have never recognized Naruto in their hearts, so whenever they see Naruto, their attitude is cold and terrifying."

"I see……"

Ji Lai also exhaled lightly, and said sadly.

In fact, he has seen too much of the attitude of outsiders towards Injuriki during his years of travelling. It can be said that in any village, Injuriki is basically not treated as a normal person. He would be subject to house arrest, isolation, or the hostility of the villagers, but he did not expect that this situation would be the same in Konoha.

Obviously, this was not the case in the era of Uzumaki Mito and Kushina.

Jiraiya also couldn't figure it out, but he forgot that, unlike the tailed beasts in other villages, Konoha's Nine Tails was in the body of Uzumaki Mito or Uzumaki Kushina before Naruto became Jinchuriki , Kyuubi has always been sealed perfectly, and has never brought any substantial harm to Konoha Village for decades.Therefore, people at that time had a very shallow understanding of Kyuubi and Jinchuriki, so they would not be particularly afraid or discriminated against them.

Until that day seven years ago, everyone saw the horror of Nine Tails.

Hatred and fear are born of pain, without harm and pain, then hatred would not develop as strongly as it is now, so, under such a background, Naruto's treatment is naturally not what the previous two generations of Churiki can do comparable.

"but……"

Jiraiya also paused, and after Sarutobi Hiruzen's explanation, he had a general understanding of the attitude of the village names towards Naruto, but immediately changed the subject, and blurted out another question: "If this is the case, then don't It’s okay to disclose Naruto’s identity. I know that in order to protect Naruto, the facts about Minato’s son cannot be disclosed, but as long as the truth of Jinchuriki is not exposed, Naruto should be able to live like an ordinary child, right? Just like Kushina That's what it was back then."

Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki came to Konoha Village to become Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a secret that few people know.

Zilai also thinks that since the people in the village don't like Renchuriki so much, it's fine not to tell others the fact that Naruto is Renchuriki, and let the villagers treat Naruto as an ordinary orphan, then Naruto wouldn't have had such a hard time.

So the question arises, why is it that almost everyone knows that Naruto is Jinchuriki?
"Yes." Hiruza Sarutobi nodded, and did not refute Jiraiya's proposal, but replied affirmatively: "If this is the case, Naruto may have a better childhood..."

Having said that, he suddenly stopped, and heaved a long sigh, with a bitter look on his face.

"So, it's all my fault."

He reproached himself in a low voice.

"If I hadn't been negligent..."

"what happened?"

Jiraiya frowned slightly, seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's appearance, there seemed to be some hidden secrets in it.

"Alas..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi lamented again, a trace of loneliness flashed in his old eyes, and then he told all the things that happened before.

"Jiraiya, you should know the strategic monitoring system of Konoha Village, right?"

He said solemnly.

It turns out that the reason for all this goes back to the night of the Nine-Tails seven years ago.

That night, a mysterious person summoned Kyuubi to Konoha (it is now known to be Obito). In the first period of time, because the fourth generation has not returned yet, it is the ninja led by the third generation that fights against Kyuubi The group, also during that time, the ninjas suffered the most casualties, because Nine-Tails is the strongest of all tailed beasts, with a huge body and amazing strength, and it can easily smash several houses with one claw. There are almost no ninjas in Ye Village who are its all-in-one enemies. Even though Hiruzaru Sarutobi fought hard, it was only barely enough to limit the range of activities of Kyuubi to the outside of the village.

Therefore, a large number of experienced adult ninjas died in that difficult homeland defense battle. When the fourth generation of Hokage solved the Obito Turning Konoha, except for the young people who were specially protected, those who had finally recovered from the third war The older generation of ninjas who survived on the battlefield are almost dead.

Seeing such a miserable situation, in order to prevent Kyuubi from continuing to destroy Konoha, the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato who rushed over immediately moved himself and Kyuubi to the barren mountain outside the village, and sent the remaining People are rescued from disaster.

At that time, apart from the third Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen, there were only two unknown jounin who rushed to the scene.

As usual, apart from Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, the only people who know Naruto is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, that is, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two jounin who followed him, if they will Naruto Can Naruto's identity be kept secret, can Naruto live a normal life like an ordinary child?
The answer is no, because it is not only the people present who can know the truth about the seal of Nine Tails. In Muye Village, there are some special groups of people who can know what happened thousands of meters away. That is the Hyuga clan.

Konoha Village has a special monitoring system. In addition to the large-scale barrier covering the village, the Hyuga Clan also plays a key role in it. Their mission is to take place on the front line and when the village is threatened. The surrounding situation is immediately reported to the people in the rear, ensuring that the people in the village can grasp the most complete strategic information under any circumstances, so that they can send support or personnel control immediately.

As one of the three legendary pupil skills, the white eyes of the Hyuga clan have the ability of perspective, farsightedness and seeing through meridians. They are usually used as scouts and intelligence personnel on the battlefield. As people with such pupil skills, they do not You need to rush to the scene, as long as you stand in place, you can know the changes in the center of the battlefield.

Just like when Payne invaded Konoha in the future, the Hyuga clan standing behind observed the battle ahead through their white eyes and broadcast it to the people staying behind in real time. During the Kyuubi incident, relying on those eyes , They also completely witnessed everything that happened in front of them.

Therefore, although the last six people were present when the Kyuubi was sealed, in fact, the number of people who knew the situation of the seal was several times more than this number.

Therefore, when Hiruzaru Sarutobi sneaked back to Konoha with the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, the fact that "Kyuubi was sealed in the body of a baby with a beard-like pattern" has been spread to everyone.

"it's all my fault."

Speaking of this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was annoyed again. He knew that this was actually no wonder to the Hinata clan. After all, it was their duty to be vigilant and pay attention to the development of the situation before the danger was over. In the days before, they all came here like this, and there was no gag order at that time, so there was nothing they couldn't say.

Therefore, although it was Hinata who leaked Inchuriki's identity, it was not their fault.

"If I had found and stopped them sooner..."

He blamed himself, if anyone among them was at fault, then it should be him. If he could have foreseen all this earlier and stopped the spread of the news, then perhaps Naruto would not be what he is today.

"Forget it, there is no other way."

Jilai also waved his hand, he understood, speaking, Naruto's experience was actually the result of the joint influence of many factors.

There is nothing wrong with the Hyuga Clan. It is their due duty to observe the battle situation and convey information. Sarutobi Hiruzen is not wrong, because he is not a god, and he cannot predict everything after that. It is sealed in the body of his own child, so it is impossible to remind the Hyuga clan in advance not to reveal the secret.

Judging from these two aspects, it is not anyone's fault, it can only be said to be the normal development of the incident.

If there is really someone to be responsible for it, then only the Uchiha Obito who released the Nine-Tails to cause all harm.

"So, what happened next?"

"Later..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi slowly shook his head: "By the time I realized all this, it was already too late, and almost all the adults knew about Jinjuriki, so in desperation, I could only order Everyone should not bring up the matter of Injurik and Yoho, and let those who violate the rules be severely punished."

"Because of this reason, adults gradually stopped discussing this matter, so most of the children nowadays don't know the existence of Jinchuriki. For Naruto, this is a blessing in misfortune."

"But, Jiraiya, do you know? Sometimes, the attitude of adults towards Naruto will unknowingly affect children..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's eyes are dark. Although children don't know the root cause, they are very good at imitating and learning. Therefore, they will gradually understand the behavior of adults. Although they don't know why, they are also alienated when adults are alienated. , They also hate what adults hate, come and go, coupled with some adults' deliberate guidance, so although it prevents the passing of the Kyuubi story to the next generation, there are still not many children willing to play with Naruto.

"That's why we need your help."

Speaking of this, Hiruza Sarutobi turned around, faced Jiraiya, and said seriously: "Whether you are the master of Minato or the ninja of Konoha, you are the best for Naruto. candidate."
