Naruto: Starting with the power of two systems

Naruto ultimately chose to go back. Although he really wanted to know, he didn't want to cause trouble for Ryosuke if someone tried to stop him.

Kakashi spoke slowly after Naruto left.

"I hope you will never come into contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki again."

If he hadn't stopped him, Naruto would have almost found out his true identity.

If Naruto knew his true identity, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it a secret, and if it were leaked, it could be very dangerous.

Ryosuke countered with a question.

"why?"

Kakashi said calmly.

"It might not be good for the Uchiha clan to get close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Ryosuke said helplessly.

Do you believe that the Nine-Tails is controlled by our Uchiha clan?

"Now that you also possess the three-tomoe Sharingan, show me how you control a tailed beast."

The other ANBU ninjas all looked at Kakashi. Could it be that Captain Kakashi also possesses such powerful strength?

Kakashi was a little surprised that the other party knew his identity.

However, now is not the time to worry about that.

His left eye was a gift from Obito Uchiha.

However, even with the Sharingan with three tomoe, it is impossible to control the tailed beasts.

Perhaps the Nine-Tails' rampage wasn't caused by the Uchiha clan.

But that's not his current responsibility.

He could only explain.

"The Third Hokage did not want to see anyone from the Uchiha clan appear next to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Ryosuke did not back down despite the other party mentioning his status as the Hokage; instead, he continued to question him.

"Is this how the Third Hokage instructed you to protect the Fourth Hokage's son? The villagers saved by the Fourth Hokage actually despise and ostracize him. Is this how you protect the Fourth Hokage's son?"

"If I remember correctly, you were also a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, right?"

"Are you just going to stand by and watch all this happen?"

Kakashi felt a bit of a headache. The other party not only knew that Naruto was the Nine-Tails, but also knew about his background.

However, Kakashi had experienced darkness since childhood and believed that Naruto could overcome it even if he went through such darkness.

He explained.

“Of course I’m here to protect him and make sure he’s not threatened in any way. Also, the Third Hokage has forbidden the villagers from talking about the Nine-Tails.”

Ryosuke was speechless. This kind of protection only saved Naruto's life, not his dignity.

"Why not reveal his identity? He doesn't deserve this treatment."

"Once Naruto's identity is revealed, even if these villagers are ignorant, they shouldn't treat the son of a hero like this."

"Why was Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki leaked? Now the villagers basically all know that he is the Jinchuriki, the incarnation of the demon fox. So, spies from other villages could easily find out Naruto's identity by coming to Konoha to investigate."

"What exactly are the Third Hokage and your Anbu doing? Is there a traitor within your Anbu?"

"Let your Third Hokage handle this properly, so that the blood of Konoha's heroes is not shed in vain."

After saying that, Ryosuke returned to his clan's territory alone.

He had said enough; his purpose was clearly to prevent Naruto from having a tragic childhood.

If the Konoha leadership continues to treat Naruto this way, then he should personally intervene to give Naruto a good childhood.

Kakashi was a little stunned when he heard Ryosuke's words.

Don't let the blood of Konoha's heroes be shed in vain.

His father was once a hero of Konoha, but during a mission, he abandoned the mission to save his comrades and was slandered by the villagers. Unable to bear the burden, he committed suicide.

Perhaps Naruto really shouldn't have to suffer like this.

If he can't handle it, he might commit suicide.

How would he treat his mentor in that case?

Moreover, now that everyone in the village knows Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, spies from other villages could easily find out this information if they came.

After switching shifts with other ANBU members, Naruto is secretly monitored and protected by the other ANBU members.

Kakashi secretly went to the Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage, I have something important to report."

The Third Hokage, seated in his Hokage chair, glanced at Kakashi.

"Just tell me if you have anything to do."

Kakashi said respectfully.

"The Hokage ordered me to protect Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but I've noticed that the villagers around me all seem to know that Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I suspect there's a traitor within our Anbu."

"We should find this mole."

In fact, only a few people on the battlefield knew that the Fourth Hokage had sealed the Nine-Tails into his son before his death, and the Third Hokage had also given a gag order to keep this secret.

The Third Hokage glanced at Kakashi.

The mole you're talking about is me, are you trying to make me arrest myself?

Naruto Uzumaki's identity as a demon fox was obviously spread by someone else; otherwise, how would these villagers have known such confidential information?

His reason for doing this was, of course, to make the villagers hate Naruto Uzumaki, while he appeared by Naruto's side with a kind and approachable image.

Only in this way can the Will of Fire be used to brainwash Naruto Uzumaki, making him join their side in the future.

Of course, he couldn't tell Kakashi about this purpose.

He said calmly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Maybe it's not an inside job, but someone accidentally leaked the information."

When Kakashi heard the Hokage's guess, he thought it was actually quite possible.

he suggested.

"Now that the villagers already know that Naruto is the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki and that he has been ostracized and hated by them, shouldn't we reveal his identity so that Naruto can grow up smoothly? As the son of the Fourth Hokage, he deserves this kind of treatment."

How could the Third Hokage possibly be willing to reveal Naruto's identity?

In that case, his plan would be completely ruined. He wasn't about to give up Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so easily.

With this piece, his position as Hokage will be even more secure.

Even if he abdicates in the future, with the support of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, there is a high probability that the Sarutobi clan will be able to produce another Hokage.

So he had to come up with a way to fool them.

"Kakashi, you're thinking too one-sidedly. Although it was a mistake that allowed the villagers to learn about Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, if his identity as the Fourth Hokage's son were to be leaked, those ninjas who had a grudge against the Fourth Hokage would probably take action against him."

"You're thinking too superficially."

Kakashi thought about it and agreed that the Third Hokage made sense.

After all, the Fourth Hokage had killed many ninjas from enemy villages back then, and if his identity were to be leaked, he might face retaliation.

"The Third Hokage is wise."

"But what should we do now that Naruto is being treated so unfairly?"

The Third Hokage was secretly pleased that he had fooled Kakashi, so he decided to fool him again.

"Kakashi, you're still too shallow. You need to know that Naruto is now the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, a huge future fighting force for the village. We must ensure his loyalty."

"Even if we are misunderstood and treated unfairly by the villagers, we must remain loyal to the village."

"This is a test for him."

"Do you understand it?"

Kakashi could only nod in agreement upon hearing the Hokage's explanation.

Actually, he didn't quite understand.

The Hokage might be right, but something still feels a bit off.

Chapter 43 Tell him to mind his own business

When the Third Hokage saw Kakashi like this, he gave an order.

"Don't let that Uchiha Ryosuke get close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki again."

"You also know that the Nine-Tails' rampage may have been launched by the Uchiha clan controlling the Nine-Tails."

Kakashi nodded in agreement and then left the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, who remained in his office, smiled slightly, pleased with his own quick thinking.
