Thinking of what happened that night, the Third Hokage still feels a prick in his heart.

If he had fought the Nine-Tails in an open area, the casualties might not have been so great, but the battlefield happened to be in Konoha Village.

The ninjas had no room to dodge, and could only fight the Nine-Tails, which was as huge as a mountain, head-on. Many experienced Chunin and Jonin died in that battle.

Overnight, Konoha lost two Kage-level strongmen and countless Chunin and Jonin. Even during the Ninja World War, there was no such heavy loss.

Moreover, at that time, Konoha also experienced the defection of Orochimaru. Jiraiya, who was also one of the Three Ninjas, also left the village because of frustration. Konoha Village, which originally had many Kage-level strongmen, suddenly only had the Third Hokage, an open strongman.

This is why the Fifth Hokage was not selected at that time, but the Third Hokage was allowed to return to power, because there was no one to resist.

If the Fourth Hokage had not died and the Night of the Nine-Tails had not happened, Kumogakure would definitely not have the courage to come to Konoha to make trouble.

Back then, the Fourth Hokage had challenged the strongest AB combination of the Hidden Cloud Village alone, and forced back the future Fourth Raikage and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki alone, leaving a deep impression on the Hidden Cloud Village.

It's a pity that the Fourth Hokage died too early. If he were still alive, Konoha Village would not be what it is now.

"Because you don't have the ability to fight another war with other big countries, you agreed to the conditions of the Hidden Cloud Village?" Naruto asked.

"Yes... This is caused by my incompetence." The figure of the Third Hokage seemed more and more hunched.

"But why did my father die!" Neji roared in dissatisfaction.

"Ningci, in fact, at that time, I had already made plans to die." Hyuga Hiashi's words made Neji crash instantly.

"Since you are ready to die, why did my father die in the end?"

"It was Hizashi who decided to do this." Hyuga Hiashi recalled what happened that day.

In the clan meeting attended by the Third Hokage, Hyuga Hiashi had already planned to die and exchange his body for peace. However, his move was opposed by other elders of the main family.

They proposed that Hiashi, who looked exactly like Hiashi, should die in his place, and said that Hiashi had agreed.

Hiashi couldn't believe his ears at the time. When the elders said that Hiashi should die in his place, their expressions were so nonchalant, as if they were just going to dispose of the life of a chicken or a puppy.

What made him even more incomprehensible was why his brother agreed.

"Why, Hiashi!" Hiashi asked his brother. He obviously hated the main family so much, hated his fate as a branch family, hated the caged bird on his head, and hated his own fate.

He obviously hated the principle that the branch family needed to sacrifice for the main family, but why did he still agree?

Was he forced? Did the elders of the main family threaten him with the caged bird?

In Hiashi's shocked eyes, Hiashi showed a rare gentle expression on his face: "Brother, I still hate the main family to this day, and this has not changed at all."

"But I only hate the main family, not my own brother."

"I hope you remember that I am not going to die for the main family. I just want my biological brother to live, that's all. Please convey this to Neji, but it's better to wait until he grows up. He can't understand it now."

Hiashi's words and expressions at that time still shock Hiashi to this day.

Not dying for the main family, but dying for his relatives. This sentence makes Hiashi unable to forget.

Hearing that sentence, Hiashi's inner emotions also burst out. He finally realized clearly again that he and Hiashi are brothers from the same mother.

After becoming the main family, he gradually forgot this point and always regarded the identities of both parties as the head of the main family and the head of the branch family, but his younger brother always remembered this brotherhood in his heart.

Hiashi wanted to stop him, but was knocked down by Hizashi. The younger brother who had been tactful in the sparring showed his powerful strength at that moment. Hiashi could only watch him go further and further away, heading towards a road of no return.

"What a joke! This is just an excuse for your main family to excuse yourself!" Neji became very excited, but Hiashi suddenly leaned down in front of him and knelt on the ground in the posture of a dogeza.

"I am telling you this as Hizashi's brother, not the head of the Hyuga family. Please believe me, I will do my best to change the Hyuga clan in the future, and I will also pass this belief to Hinata and Hanabi to inherit. One day, the Hyuga family will change!"

.....................

Chapter 89 This is my ninja way

"Change..." Naruto chewed the word carefully.

"How does the head of the Hyuga family plan to change? Do you have any plans and plans to change this deep-rooted bad habit that has been passed down for who knows how many years?"

Hyuga Hiashi was silent for a while: "To be honest, I haven't come up with any good ideas yet. I can't fight against the elders of the main family by myself."

"Could it be that the head of the family plans to let them die of age, and then change when he has the power?"

"Well... Actually, I have considered this method." Hiashi admitted with some embarrassment.

"What kind of method is this?" Naruto laughed dumbly, "Why don't I tell you a more effective method."

"What is it?" Rizu became interested for a moment.

The reason why Naruto was called to this internal Hyuga meeting was not because he had just stated on the court that he would help Ningji break the curse. In fact, there have been many people who have been dissatisfied with this rule over the years, but The Hyuga family doesn't care about these people at all.

Naruto was called in because both Hizu and the Third Hokage saw an extremely terrifying potential in him.

In this Chuunin exam, whether it was the written test stage, the battle in the Forest of Death, or the subsequent preliminaries and now the finals, Naruto showed a strength and mentality that was extremely inconsistent with his age.

He is only 12 years old this year. He has such achievements and mentality at the age of 12. When he becomes an adult in the future, he will definitely surpass any Hokage except the first Hokage.

If nothing unexpected happens later, he will most likely succeed as Hokage in the future.

It may be strange to tell a 12-year-old boy to inherit the position of Hokage, but Naruto's current level of performance can indeed make people draw this conclusion. As long as he does not die young or be crippled and blackened for other reasons, the future He must be the perfect candidate for the position of Hokage.

Therefore, they called Naruto into this internal discussion within the family, because Naruto's attitude may very well determine the fate of the Hyuga clan in the future.

And Naruto was able to come up with an idea about the Hinata family, which made Hizu very interested, because maybe this idea is just an idea now, but in the future, after Naruto becomes Hokage, it will be possible to realize it.

Naruto slowly said to Hizu: "Since the Cloud Hidden Village asked you to hand over the body, they are willing to compromise, it means that these old people are also bullying and afraid of the strong, and they are also afraid of people who are obviously untouchable. In this case, I can Just try to be a bad person, I already said during the exam that I would help Ningji break the curse. When you go back, tell them that in the future, I will also help other people in the branch family break the curse."

"You can make those old men see me as a thorn in their flesh, and I will also use practical actions to make them sleepless and think carefully about whether they have the ability to become my enemy."

"After they realize that I am no easier to mess with than Yunyin Village, if you propose changes, I believe they will be happy to accept it."

Hearing this, Rizu couldn't help but remind him: "But in this case, they will inevitably have unfavorable ideas for you. As the head of the family, I can suppress it openly, but maybe they will target you secretly, because The matter of breaking up the family and breaking the curse really touched their bottom line. "

Naruto heard the words and smiled casually: "It doesn't matter, will I be afraid of them? I come and go alone, alone, what do I have to be afraid of? If you want to target me, just do it."

The status of an orphan became a convenience at this moment. If Naruto had both parents and relatives, he might really be a little constrained.

However, the reality is that he is alone, with no father or mother, and no particularly good friends in the eyes of the public. If they want to harm him, they can only attack him himself.

Hearing this, Hinata felt very incomprehensible: "Naruto, you are not from our Hyuga family, and you were not familiar with Neji at all before. If you insist on speaking, I only know that Hinata will occasionally walk around with you, but She is a member of the Zong family, so you don’t need to worry about the caged bird.”

"I'm not doubting you, I really want to know, what's the reason for you to do this even if you become an enemy of the Hinata family?"

Facing Hizu's eyes that were eager for answers, Naruto told him seriously: "What I pursue is nothing more than the understanding of thoughts."

"What?" Rizu didn't understand.

"I do what I want to do, no matter whether it is difficult or not, as long as it is what I want to do, I will do it. The Hinata family does not have much to do with me, but things like caged birds that are against human ethics make me very uncomfortable. , I cannot turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. If I turn a blind eye because I am afraid of trouble, I will be angry and it will be troublesome for me. "

In the practice of Qi, a very important point is the state of the practitioner. If you are troubled by annoying things, you will not achieve results no matter how long you practice. Only when you practice with clear thoughts, you will achieve success.

This idea can be about getting stronger, it can be about simply pursuing martial arts, it can be about revenge, unwillingness, or anger, as long as the idea is pure.

The most fearful thing is the situation where the qi is impure, the righteousness is impure, the evil qi is insufficient, the person wants to be a good person but dare not take responsibility, and wants to be a bad person but dare not bear the price. Such people cannot become stronger.

Therefore, Naruto's pursuit is always to understand the idea. The reason why he abandoned his friends in the Dragon Ball world and returned to the world of ninjas is that although some of his friends have already married and started a business, and even Xiaofang and Bra have grown up, he has no worries anymore. for the sake of.

But more importantly, it is because he wants to explore his own life experience and change the world.

Only after surviving in the Dragon Ball world did Naruto know what kind of purgatory the ninja world was. He came back with the desire to change this purgatory.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye to anything on this road. No matter how troublesome it is, he will do it. If he escapes because he is afraid of trouble or danger, he may never make any progress in his life.

On the contrary, the more he travels in trouble and danger, the more pure his thoughts will be, the more he will progress at a terrifying speed.

Pure enough thoughts are the best cornerstone for Qi progress.

Hiashi obviously couldn't understand this idea. He just thought it was incredible. Would someone who could stay out of it be willing to step into the quagmire for others?

When he looked up at Naruto again, there was something different in his eyes.

Uzumaki Naruto, your idea is really amazing. If you become Hokage in the future, what will Konoha Village and even the world become?

Chapter 90 Orochimaru: I will take good care of you

To outsiders, the four people just went into the lounge to chat for a while. When they came out, they were all calm. It seems that the third generation Hokage came out to mediate the conflict.

But only the four people in the room knew that in this short time, a major event that would change the future of Hyuga had been decided.

"Next, the game continues!" Moonlight Gale read out the names on the game list: "The next game will be Uchiha Sasuke against Gaara from Sand Village!"

"It's Sasuke's game!" Naruto jumped up with expectation and jumped directly from the venue to the audience.

Sasuke flew down to the competition venue the moment Moonlight Gale read out his name, and Gaara also arrived at the same time.

However, Gaara's hands seemed to be stained with some blood.

As if noticing Sasuke's gaze, Gaara took the initiative to explain: "Just before I came down, a few boring guys said that they had bet a lot of money on one side's victory, so they wanted me to manipulate the game."

"It was boring, so I killed them." Gaara's face gradually showed a ferocious expression.

The blood of those people, like a switch, turned on the bloodthirsty side of Gaara's heart.

"This guy, the murderous aura is very strong." Sasuke frowned, he could feel that this battle might not only determine the winner, but also the life and death.

He didn't have any intention of killing the other party, but Gaara was definitely fighting with the mentality of killing him.

Gaara squatted slowly, and a large amount of sand began to condense around him, gradually surrounding him. This was to create his own absolute defense. Once the sand defense was formed, Gaara could stand in a protective circle without dead angles and use sand ninjutsu to attack the opponent freely.

However, this technique is meaningless to Sasuke now, because Sasuke will not give him time to condense absolute defense.

Sasuke's figure disappeared instantly. He rushed over at a speed beyond Gaara's imagination and kicked Gaara in the face before the absolute defense was formed.

Fortunately, Gaara had suffered from Xiao Li before, and knew that some ninjas' physical skills could complete the attack before the absolute defense was formed, so he covered his body with sand armor in advance to block Sasuke's kick.

However, even so, Sasuke's kick still left many cracks on the sand armor.

"This guy... has no shortcomings?" Gaara forced Sasuke back with the sand in front of him, and began to feel a little tricky.

Xiao Li's physical skills are naturally very strong, so strong that he almost lost the game, but Xiao Li is only strong in physical skills, and Gaara only needs to concentrate on defending Xiao Li's physical attack.

Sasuke is a member of the Uchiha clan. As we all know, ninjutsu and illusion are the specialties of the Uchiha clan.

An Uchiha clan member who is so strong in physical skills, his ninjutsu and illusion will only be stronger.

The compound attack that combines physical skills, illusions, and ninjutsu is the most difficult. No one knows what form Sasuke's next attack will take. Maybe at the moment of close combat, he suddenly uses the Sharingan to launch an illusion, or maybe when he is on guard against illusions, physical skills and ninjutsu have already blasted over.

"What a fast speed, he is even faster than Xiao Li who took off his restraints!" Might Guy standing in the stands couldn't help but look at his disciple.

Xiao Li looked at Sasuke's position at this moment, with a complicated look in his eyes. The result of his hard work for so long was actually caught up by Sasuke in more than a month.

Of course, Sasuke doesn't know the Eight Gates, and he still has an absolute advantage in physical skills.

However, the feeling that his long-term achievements were easily caught up by others still made Xiao Li feel quite uncomfortable.

In fact, Xiao Li is also a genius. Although his ninjutsu and illusion skills are almost zero, his physical skills are full, otherwise Kai would not have chosen him.

People who can succeed in this world will not be real wastes.

"Is this a real genius?" Xiao Li's face was complicated.

Just when his mentality was a little confused, Kai on the side patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Li, we should work harder. Since others are twice as fast as us, we will spend three times as much time, so that we will not fall behind!"

Xiao Li instantly became serious: "Yes, Teacher Kai!"

"This is youth! Desperate training, fighting with all your strength, how passionate!" Kai and Xiao Li instantly ignited and entered a state of strong self-touching.

While they were passionate, the battle in the arena below also entered a white-hot stage.

Gaara was a little glad that he had fought with Xiao Li before, and had some experience and understanding in dealing with physical ninjas, which made him less passive when facing Sasuke.

In the past month, because he mistakenly believed that Sasuke, as a member of the Uchiha clan, was only good at ninjutsu and genjutsu, most of his training and combat plans were aimed at ninjutsu and genjutsu. As a result, Sasuke started with two punches, which directly stunned him.

Sasuke continued to suppress Gaara with physical skills, and gradually felt an unprecedented sense of joy.

He couldn't help but thank Naruto in his heart. If Naruto hadn't dragged him to practice physical skills before the Chunin Exam, which greatly made up for his shortcomings, he wouldn't be able to face Gaara so calmly at this moment.

Moreover, after practicing his body, he gradually discovered that the strengthening of the body also meant an increase in physical energy and control over the body, and the amount of chakra also increased slightly. Most importantly, the load of using the Sharingan became lower.

Although this amplitude is not large, Sasuke has gradually found the trick. This is like the principle of chakra extraction. The Sharingan represents spiritual power, and the physique represents physical strength. Only when the two are balanced can the strongest chakra be produced!

Gaara felt more and more surprised as he fought. Sasuke's speed was too fast, and he didn't give him time to seal. He could only keep making sand armor defense. At this moment, this situation became very similar to the battle against Rock Lee. At that time, he relied on the dragging tactics to drag Rock Lee to the point where he couldn't hold on.

But in this situation, can he hold Sasuke until he runs out of energy? Sasuke didn't open the Eight Gates.

"Are all Konoha's ninjas monsters?" Kankuro stood in the stands, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Originally, it was thought that among this year's Konoha Genin, only Hyuga Neji had some level, but until now in the exam, Gaara has been taught a lesson by Lee and Sasuke, and that Uzumaki Naruto is even more powerful. It is obvious that he has not used his full strength so far.

Kankuro looked at the circle of fierce people around him, and asked his mentor Maki in a low voice with a guilty conscience: "Teacher... Should we continue with this plan? Why do I feel that if we fight, it seems that we are not very good."
