Although they didn't know about the black market bounties, it didn't stop them from being worried. After sensing the massive chakra reaction, they used all their strength to travel.

After that incident, there was no further response from Konoha, and no one knew what was going on.

The unknown is what makes things most agonizing. The two remained silent and traveled for more than two hours before finally reaching Konoha.

"Thankfully, nothing serious happened."

Upon arriving near Konoha, Naruto sensed that there were no signs of battle and that life activities were relatively normal, which relieved him.

Upon entering Konoha, the Hokage Rock immediately comes into view.

However, this time, the Hokage Rock is different.

Looking at the large character for "sin" below the Third Hokage's portrait, Naruto and the others fell silent.

Naruto had a good impression of the Third Hokage and had always respected him greatly. Seeing the character for "crime" carved below the portrait of the kind and gentle old man who had given him his living expenses when he was a child, Naruto felt a surge of anger. If he didn't know that the character for "crime" had been manipulated and connected to the Konoha formation barrier, he probably would have rushed out to erase it by now.

Even with Naruto's sharp eyesight, he could see Danzo, his arms severed, his left eye hollow, pinned to the ground below the character for "sin" by a long spear. However, Naruto wasn't familiar with Danzo, and he didn't know how many times he had faced being coveted, kidnapped, and brainwashed by this guy during his childhood. Therefore, when he saw Danzo's corpse, Naruto didn't experience much emotional reaction.

Naruto and Yamato arrived at the Hokage's office and reported the mission's progress to Tsunade. Of course, they didn't go into details about time travel; they simply reported on the mission's completion and sealed the Dragon Vein once again.

"Hmm, you did a good job this time. Naruto, you should stay in the village and train for the next couple of days. The ninja world hasn't been very peaceful lately."

Tsunade was satisfied with their performance, but she was too busy with Uchiha Yun's matter to give them any praise.

At the same time, he also explained Naruto's next steps.

Recently, there have been reports of other ninja villages in the ninja world losing their Jinchuriki, but there are just too many of these reports, and most of them are vague and difficult to distinguish between true and false. It's unclear how many Tailed Beasts have actually been collected by others in the ninja world.

Tsunade was aware of the organized capture of the Tailed Beasts, so she instructed Naruto to stay in the village and not wander off.

"By the way, Yamato's return is just in time. Konoha has experienced some changes recently, and you should have learned about them on your way back. Apart from the targets targeted by Uchiha Un, Konoha's casualties are not great, but many buildings have been destroyed. We'll need your help with the village's reconstruction."

Yamato's lips twitched. He knew he couldn't escape this time and would probably be drained dry again. He sighed deeply.

After undergoing multiple enhancements, Uchiha Kiyoshi's body was no longer that of an ordinary person, and his senses had also been greatly improved. As soon as Naruto entered the village, Kiyoshi sensed that chakra.

Nine-Tails' chakra!

"Naruto is back."

Frowning slightly, Uchiha Kiyoshi then came to a realization. More than half a month had passed; it was normal for Naruto to return. Instead of leaving immediately, Uchiha Kiyoshi decided to stay and meet this chosen one.

"By the way, where did Kakashi go?"

For some reason, Uchiha Kiyoshi thought of Kakashi. Kakashi didn't go to the Dragon Vein with Naruto, so why hadn't he been seen on these three trips?

Uchiha Kiyoshi had no idea that his actions these past few times were actually quite coincidental. Kakashi was away on missions, and he had returned before, but the timing of his attacks didn't coincide with Uchiha Yun's.

Arriving in the ninja world of the future, he went straight to Konoha and stayed there for half a month, but he didn't see Kakashi. Instead, he ran into Obito. His luck was truly unbelievable.

"Forget it, if we can't see him, we can't see him. Anyway, we're still alive, we'll see him sooner or later. Besides, it doesn't matter to me whether I see him or not."

After putting his luggage into his ninja tool bag, Uchiha Kiyoshi quietly arrived at the outskirts of the Forest of Death.

This time, he wanted to meet Naruto to see if the guy was as amazing as he was in the original story, and what the charm of Kotoamatsukami was, before he could do something and leave.

Naruto had just left the Hokage's office and hadn't even gotten home when the Nine-Tails' voice came from within him.

"Kid, there's someone nearby, and they're very strong!"

Naruto was shocked and assumed a defensive stance.

How strong must this person be to make Kurama say "very strong"?

Kurama sensed a malice, but it wasn't obvious and far from a life-or-death feud. So when it warned Naruto, it wasn't in a hurry and simply shared its perception with him.

"Tsk tsk, the Nine-Tails' senses are quite sharp, much better than the other tailed beasts."

Seeing Naruto's reaction, Uchiha Kiyoshi knew that the other party, or rather the Nine-Tails inside the other party, had discovered him.

He was just testing how sharp the Nine-Tails' senses were, but he didn't expect that such a small amount of hostility would be detected by the other party.

As an existence from outside this timeline, what hostility could he possibly have towards Naruto? He was merely controlling himself and intending to test the Nine-Tails' strength.

Unexpectedly, Kurama's sensory abilities are so much stronger than those of the other tailed beasts.

Back then, Tsuchishi went to the location of the Three-Tails with the intention of capturing it, but the Three-Tails didn't make a move at all. Of course, it's also possible that the Three-Tails was too busy to bother with Tsuchishi.

"You're the Uchiha ninja who attacked Konoha!"

Naruto immediately recognized Uchiha Kiyoshi.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade showed him what Uchiha Kiyoshi and Uchiha Teru looked like, and told him to run away if he encountered them.

Nobody knows what the Sage Organization thinks of the Tailed Beasts. If they also want to capture the Tailed Beasts, then Naruto will be in trouble if he encounters them. That's why Tsunade told Naruto to run away as soon as possible.

Naruto, however, seemed to have forgotten that detail; he only remembered Uchiha Kiyoshi's appearance, and had absolutely no recollection of escaping...

On the contrary, Naruto not only didn't want to run away, but also wanted to fight Uchiha Kiyoshi.

He still remembered the grudge from his three-generation grandfather; he wanted the other party to remove the word "crime."

Since the spell was set up by the opponent, there must be a way to dispel it without affecting the Leaf Village's formation.

"So it was you who carved the character for 'crime' under the portraits of three generations of grandfathers?"

Naruto shouted.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't pay attention to the meaning behind the other person's words; he just found it amusing that Naruto mentioned the Third Hokage.

"Third generation... grandfather? Haha, you actually called him grandfather? And so affectionately?"

Naruto looked puzzled.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also became interested at this point and began to spoil the plot.

"Don't you know how your parents died? They were killed by Danzo in collusion with external enemies. And your so-called third grandfather knew about Danzo's actions, but even so, he didn't stop Danzo's actions, do you understand?"

Naruto's parents have always been the deepest pain in his heart. Hearing Uchiha Kiyoshi's words, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"No! How could that be?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't stop, continuing to talk about what he knew, provoking the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"You've probably heard the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre: Danzo orchestrated it, with the Third Hokage secretly pushing it forward. But did you know that it wasn't just the Uchiha clan that suffered this fate?"

Moreover, another example is also relevant to you: the Uzumaki clan. Have you heard of them? The Uzumaki clan was wiped out more than 30 years ago, almost 40 years ago. You probably haven't heard of them, or you know very little about them, right?

Your surname comes from your mother, Kushina Uzumaki. Do you know her background? She was the princess of the Uzumaki clan, and the Uzumaki clan was wiped out! After that, your mother came to Konoha and became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which is how you are now. I wonder what role that Third Hokage you mentioned played in all of this.”

Uchiha Kiyoshi's words were like daggers to the heart, leaving Naruto shaking his head in disbelief.

Chapter 221 Encounter

Seeing Naruto lost in confusion, Uchiha Kiyoshi felt inexplicably pleased.

You're not one to talk nonsense, are you? Haha, so you've actually been told you're on the verge of a breakdown?

Of course, Uchiha Kiyoshi also knew that he had grasped the other party's weakness, and that he did know a bit too much.

"Do you know how your parents died? At the moment your mother gave birth to you, the seal on the Nine-Tails weakened, and the enemy took advantage of this moment to release the Nine-Tails, causing the Nine-Tails' rampage more than ten years ago. But the location of the village's Kage's wife's pregnancy was somehow discovered by outsiders. Oh, right, it's said that Root claimed to have received orders from the Hokage to stop the Uchiha clan from rescuing them. If so many Uchiha ninjas had been involved, the Fourth Hokage might have had a chance to survive, right?"

Seeing Naruto's emotions gradually escalating, Uchiha Kiyoshi's eyes lit up, and he continued to provoke him.

"Your parents were both killed by Danzo, yet the Third Hokage didn't punish him. Think about why. If Danzo hadn't done what he wanted, and if keeping him around wouldn't have allowed him to continue doing these dark things for him, why wasn't he punished?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't care whether it was right or wrong; he just said everything to provoke Naruto.

Naruto is most terrifying when he's lucid, because he can talk, and what he says makes a lot of sense. So, to fight Naruto, you have to provoke him into a rage first.

"Stop talking."

Naruto roared loudly, clutching his head with both hands.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Tails in the sealed space continued to speak, trying to calm Naruto down. Unfortunately, it was all in vain. After all, having been an orphan for over a decade, it's only natural that he would lose control upon suddenly learning the truth.

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't stop; he wanted to continue talking.

Naruto quickly conjured a Rasengan in his hand and rushed towards Uchiha Kiyoshi.

I told you to shut up!

"Melting Escape: Thousand Books"

Uchiha Kiyoshi is not afraid of the pills.

The Lava Release technique, with its Thousand Bones, pierced through the Rasengan in Naruto's hand.

"boom!"

The Rasengan exploded...

Although Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't use the Rasengan often, he had at least studied it. As long as the internal structure of the Rasengan is damaged, the Rasengan will explode.

Moreover, the power of the explosion will be released through the gap.

Therefore, when facing a Rasengan, don't try to fight it head-on, and don't wait for the caster to create an opening so the Rasengan explodes. Instead, you should puncture it before the opponent gets close...

Of course, this is on the premise that it can be exposed.

The Rasengan isn't a balloon that bursts with a single poke. The entire Rasengan is formed by the rapid rotation of chakra, and even the exterior is constantly flowing with chakra, destroying anything it comes into contact with.

Only because Uchiha Kiyoshi had mastered the Earth Release's hardness to a high degree, and when applied to Lava Release, it greatly enhanced the hardness of Senbon, which was enough to pierce Naruto's Rasengan.

Moreover, it's not as simple as just piercing through; after piercing, the flow of chakra inside must be disrupted. Otherwise, if the opponent has extremely strong chakra control and maintains the stability of the chakra rotation inside the Rasengan, then the Rasengan will not explode.

In short, it's a skillful approach.

Naruto was a little taken aback when the Rasengan in his hand suddenly exploded.

How did you manage to blow up your perfectly good meatballs?

However, Naruto wasn't so rational at that moment.

Although Kurama has made a preliminary reconciliation with him, Kurama's chakra is still a chaotic and violent force. Naruto's emotions will be affected when he loses control, and Kurama cannot simply suppress it.

Red chakra began to appear behind Naruto, his tails looming in and out of sight. Then, Naruto roared, his body covered in a red chakra cloak, and five tails materialized on his back.

This shows how much Uchiha Kiyoshi stimulated him.

After all, it was the truth about his parents' deaths, and according to Uchiha Kiyoshi's various words, his closest grandfather, the Third Hokage, might actually be one of the murderers. Naturally, Naruto was greatly shocked.

The moment Naruto unleashed his power, Tsunade in the Hokage's office sensed it. Not only Tsunade, but many Konoha ninjas also felt that violent chakra aura.

"Damn it, what is Naruto doing? Didn't he already have control over the Nine-Tails' chakra?"
