Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"Naruto-sama is there!"

As time went by, countless ninjas and civilians came to Naruto's side.

The ignorant and servile villagers and ninjas on the other side could only stand on the other side.

The moment when countless ninjas and civilians of Konoha stood behind Naruto.

The bear's brain has gone blank.

When?

Are they... those countless ninjas who suddenly appeared?!

The ninjas standing behind Naruto had all passed the test thanks to his guidance...

"There is another key figure."

Kurenai suddenly said:

"Old man, weren't you paving the way for him?"

"It's the Twelve Ninja again, and the Jonin who is the instructor of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio."

"You made me, a newly promoted Special Jonin whose strength is far below that of a Jonin, the Jonin instructor for Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame? Isn't that just because you're confident Asuma can take me down?"

Red Bean went up and kicked Asuma.

"Stop pretending. You've been awake for ages. How long are you going to keep up the act?"

Faced with the gazes of countless people, Asuma could only slowly sit up.

He glanced at the current state of Konoha... and said with a wry smile:

"Father...the Hokage wouldn't do that...there must be some misunderstanding."

"Furthermore, the Hokage has devoted himself to Konoha all these years; isn't that the Will of Fire?"

Upon hearing this, the anger in the hearts of countless ninjas surged rapidly.

Will of Fire?

What a devoted and selfless act!

"As for paving the way for me... no way. The Hokage knows me. The Fifth Hokage will not be me."

Asma wanted to say more, but Red Bean kicked him.

Asuma looked at Kurenai Yuhi and said, "Kurenai, believe me, I've never had those thoughts."

"You...you've probably all been scammed!"

Finally, Ninja Bear came up with a solution.

"Now that things have come to this... are you planning to let Konoha split apart?"

"Naruto, don't forget who saved you from dire straits when everyone hated you!"

"Konoha is intact. Are you only satisfied when Konoha is destroyed?"

"Don't forget... you're also a Konoha ninja..."

Kushina laughed in exasperation.

"Who put him in such a terrible predicament?"

"Old man, don't think Minato and I don't know!"

"Would you only admit it if everyone were to enter the illusionary world?"

At this moment, Orochimaru noticed Jiraiya, the caterpillar.

"Hey, Kakashi, aren't you bringing him along?"

"To be honest, Jiraiya, your actions are like those of Sarutobi-sensei, making you an accomplice."

"No wonder it has turned out like this."

"If you weren't imprisoned, wouldn't you be speaking up for Sarutobi-sensei right now?"

"Hahaha~"

Orochimaru's laughter sounded extremely grating to Jiraiya's ears.

Every word pierced his heart.

Why did things turn out like this... Minato, Kushina, Tsunade... and Naruto...?

"I will definitely find the Child of Prophecy!"

"Yes! Once we find the Child of Prophecy, all of this will end!"

Seeing Jiraiya's pained expression, Orochimaru was genuinely happy.

Even if the plan to destroy Konoha ends up benefiting someone else, he is still overjoyed.

"Where are the ANBU ninjas?!"

The bear suddenly roared.

Then he saw a group of ANBU ninjas led by Uzuki Yugao.

But... all the Anbu ninjas were standing behind Naruto.

"Damn it... even the Anbu..."

A ferocious look crept onto Ninja Bear's old face.

The pretense has already been broken, and the Sarutobi clan is practically extinct; there's no need to pretend anymore.

"Old man!"

"Stop playing dead, tell me! What exactly is going on with the Uchiha clan?!"

At this moment, Erzhuzi stepped out from the crowd and questioned Hiruzen Sarutobi in a stern voice.

Hashirama Senju turned his head and looked at Sasuke, appearing somewhat dazed.

"Madara... huh?"

Tobirama Senju slowly got up from the ground.

Looking at Erzhuzi's resentful eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say the words "born evil."

Given how things have developed, how could a competent politician not know about Ren Xiong's methods?

"Uchiha Ten...child."

"The Will of Fire is their best weapon."

"It is also a tool for controlling Konoha."

"The Uchiha clan was wiped out, in my opinion."

"It's nothing more than these few Konoha high-ranking officials using the Will of Fire as a starting point to instill in Konoha the idea that the Uchiha are inherently evil."

"No traces of the great war were found in the Uchiha clan's territory."

"I'm afraid they found an outstanding ninja in your Uchiha clan, instilled him with the Will of Fire, and finally wiped out the Uchiha clan from within and without."

Yongdaimei then added:

"The Second Generation Lord is right."

"Sasuke, your brother Itachi Uchiha is a blade born from the Will of Fire of the Uchiha clan."

"The right to use this sword is in the hands of the Konoha leadership."

"The order to massacre the Uchiha clan was also given by the higher-ups in Konoha."

"But at the same time, it was also a death sentence for Itachi Uchiha."

"No matter how strong Itachi Uchiha was, he couldn't possibly have slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan by himself in one night."

"He has helpers."

Erzhuzi's hair has turned red.

"That beast isn't my brother!"

Sasuke's face contorted in a ferocious expression, and his eyes instantly activated the three-tomoe Sharingan, his pupil power increasing rapidly as they spun wildly.

"What Dad and the second generation said is right."

"The Uchiha clan was pushed to the guillotine step by step."

"The method of boiling a frog in lukewarm water caused a coup d'état by the Uchiha clan... In other words, the villagers and ninjas enslaved by the Will of Fire were all accomplices."

Erzhuzi staggered back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, his hatred for Itachi Uchiha reached its peak.

Naruto glanced at him, and then his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan began to spin.

hum-

Erzhuzi entered the Tsukuyomi world.

The experience of the night of genocide is playing out once again.

"ah--!!!"

Erzhuzi clutched his head, kneeling on the ground in anguish, tears streaming down his face.

shhhhh--

Having experienced three nights of genocide and viewed them from different perspectives.

Erzhuzi's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

But everyone present saw it.

Before he fainted, Sasuke's rotating three-tomoe Sharingan transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Two women who had activated their Sharingan stepped out from the crowd.

They carried Erzhuzi back to the back.

Kushina frowned, then shook her head. Now was not the time to think about these things.

The bear still wanted to salvage the situation, but then cried out, "No!"

"That's not how it works!"

"As Hokage, I have always strived to ease the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village!"

"It was their arrogance that led them to consider a coup..."

"Shut up!"

Tobirama Senju let out a low growl.

Orochimaru's gaze towards Naruto also changed.

He has absolutely no interest in Sasuke Uchiha anymore.

He couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips.

Then, he was sent flying by Tsunade's punch.

The ninja bear closed his eyes. "Naruto, when did you find out?"

Is it even meaningful to ask this question now?

Naruto countered with a question.

Renkuma slumped to the ground, "Heh... maybe if I had listened to Danzo back then, none of this would have happened."

"Come, I'm right here. I'll bear all the hatred."

"Perhaps killing me would vent your anger."

His words made even the cockroaches laugh.

Ninja Bear looked at the cockroaches with mocking expressions, and the leaders of the various ninja clans behind them.

"You've been working hard for days..."

Stop with your hypocritical act.

Hiashi Hyuga narrowed his eyes. "I'll never forget what happened back then!"

Renkuma trembled all over, his eyes filled with the peak of surprise and disbelief.

These people don't seem like they just found out about these things.

It's more like... they knew all along, and had been planning this day for a long time.

This dragged him down from his lofty position as Hokage to the bottom.

"Naruto, what exactly do you want?"

Yongdaimei countered with a question:

"Didn't you already know that?"

A look of confusion flashed across Ninja Bear's face.

Yongdaimei sarcastically remarked:

"Haven't you been sending ANBU ninjas to monitor Naruto all along?"

"Didn't you also incite these foolish villagers and ninjas to harbor resentment towards Naruto, making him the target of the Nine-Tails' rampage?"

"It's like targeting the Uchiha clan."

"What's wrong?"

"Are you losing confidence in your Will of Fire?"

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is standing right in front of you. You can give it a try. Maybe you can still control him with the Will of Fire."

The bear fell silent.

Seeing that the ninja bear remained silent, the villagers and ninjas below also dared not speak anymore.

Something seems amiss.

"Is that so? Monkey, you're quite the schemer."

After being pushed out by Tsunade, Tobirama Senju said with a cold face:

"That explains why Yongdaimei's family harbors such resentment."

"The Nine-Tails' rampage was caused by the Fourth Hokage and Kushina burning themselves to reseal the Nine-Tails, allowing Konoha to regain control of the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki."

"The son of the Fourth Hokage, yet he received such treatment... Then you appeared when Naruto was at his lowest point, becoming the light in his heart, and brainwashing him with the Will of Fire..."

After listening, Hashirama Senju frowned deeply.

"Has the Will of Fire become like this?"

The ninja bear stubbornly continued his argument: "Because Minato's reputation is too great... I concealed Naruto's identity out of concern for Naruto's safety... Paying him a thousand taels a month is also..."

"And what about your grandson?"

"They practically have 'Hokage's grandson' written all over their faces, don't they?"

"If I'm not mistaken, what he's wearing and what he's holding right now are things that Minato and I prepared for Naruto, right?"

"What happened to my and Minato's legacy?!"

"You shameless old bastard!"

Kushina's Vajra Chains flew off, firmly imprisoning the Ninja Bear.

Naruto shook his head and smiled, "Looks like you still have a glimmer of hope."

"Do you believe there's still a chance to turn things around?"

"Your turning point is Danzo?"

"Is it still Mitokado Hoshino and Utatane Koharu?"

"You're wrong. You're just the beginning. Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu won't escape either."

At this moment, Asuma seemed to remember something and quickly said:

"That's not how it works!"

"Danzo deliberately leaked Naruto's identity!"

"Yes! This has nothing to do with Father!"

The children all looked at him with concern for his intellectual disability.

"Danzo wouldn't dare do these things without the permission of the great Hokage."

"Danzo... that guy... has become like this too?" Tobirama Senju frowned.

He suddenly had a bad feeling, as if... he had brought four demons to Konoha with his life.

As for Uchiha Kagami, Tobirama Senju knew perfectly well that he was long dead.

Perhaps... his perspective wasn't so narrow back then... no, if he hadn't been like that, he wouldn't be called Tobirama Senju.

"Old man, you're waiting for Danzo, aren't you?"

"He's here."

Naruto finished speaking.

Danzo flew over.

Yes, it was thrown over by a clone of the Nature Sage Mode.

He tried to escape the village, but Naruto trapped him in the Root organization's base, like a turtle in a jar.

In fact, Danzo arrived long ago, but he was imprisoned by his Natural Sage Mode clone.

It couldn't move or make a sound.

After landing, Danzo took a look at the current situation.

Looking down again, he saw many civilians and ninjas below, many of whom were Root organization ninjas and Anbu ninjas hidden among the civilians and ninjas.

He smiled.

I was just careless and that's why I was captured; they didn't kill me immediately...

Naruto Uzumaki, you'll regret this!

"That's right, it was I who had someone expose Naruto Uzumaki's identity as a Jinchuriki!"

"They also incited everyone to transfer the Nine-Tails' resentment onto Naruto Uzumaki."

"Hiruzen knows all of this. In Konoha, nothing can be kept from him."
