Zongman: Starting with the Samsara Eye, I Became the God of Ninja World

Nine-Tails ignored them and stepped into the water prison.

"Huh?! Didn't you acknowledge Rukawa as your older brother? Rukawa and I are friends, so you're kind of my younger brother!"

Seeing Kurama walk into the water prison on its own initiative, Naruto scratched his head, racking his brains to figure out the relationship between the two, and asked in confusion:

"Now that we're all on the same side, Xiao Jiu, there's no need for you to go back into the cage, right?!"

"Roar!! Kid, get your '823' position straight! If you dare to take advantage of me again, I'll slap you to death!"

Seeing Naruto's foolish appearance, Kurama became furious and roared at him.

After issuing a deterrent, Kurama still explained:

"My power is far beyond what a brat like you can withstand!"

"If it weren't for this seal, you would have exploded and died long ago, kid!"

With that, the Nine-Tails used its two front paws to slam the iron gate shut and used the leaked chakra to activate the seal on the water prison.

Ah!

Instantly felt incredibly safe!

With Rukawa around, it's definitely more comfortable staying in the water dungeon.

Now, it would rather die than break free from its seal!

"Without this seal, I would have exploded and died?!"

Naruto looked at the Nine-Tails in the water prison with surprise, and then suddenly laughed:

"Little Jiu, to prevent me from exploding and dying, you actually sealed yourself away. It seems you really are a clever fox. Let's be good friends from now on!"

Naruto reached his hand into the iron cage.

"roll!!"

The Nine-Tails slapped Naruto's hand away with one claw and roared:

"Don't flatter yourself, kid! I'm doing this simply because we have a symbiotic relationship."

If you die, I will perish with you, understand?!

Also, don't call me Xiao Jiu!!!

"oh oh!"

Naruto nodded, seemingly understanding, and then asked:

"So, Xiao Jiu, are we friends now?"

"roll!!!"

With a roar, Kurama shook Naruto's consciousness out of his inner world.

What an annoying brat, but... this brat seems to be the first human to want to be his friend!

Thinking about it this way, Naruto doesn't seem so bad after all!

Naruto, you must not let this old man down with your talent!

I will teach you well, and once you are strong enough...

Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on its lips, while an extremely punchable face appeared in its mind.

Get revenge on that brat named Uchiha Rukawa!!

The Nine-Tails gritted its teeth and vowed to do everything in its power to train Naruto so that his strength would surpass Rukawa's!

As long as Naruto's talent is not lacking, the combination of the Tailed Beast and the Jinchuriki can produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Therefore, it is not worried that Naruto's strength will always be weaker than Rukawa's.

Then, it will return 100,000 Thousand Years of Death attacks to Rukawa!!!

Let Rukawa experience the pain it went through!

...

Outside, as Rukawa and Naruto regained their consciousness, the two opened their eyes one after the other.

The six tails behind Naruto, as well as the tailed beast cloak he was wearing, vanished instantly.

"It's...it's solved?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the two in astonishment, then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly waved his hand and addressed the sealing team of ninjas:

"Since everything is alright, you may all leave!"

"Yes!!"

The group that had been sealed away were speechless. So, they were called here just to watch others seal the Nine-Tails?!

That's a bit inexplicable!

But this is for the best; it's better than the Nine-Tails breaking free of its seal and going berserk!

After the sealing team left, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, composed himself, looked at Naruto, and said seriously:

"Naruto, what Uchiha Rukawa said before was indeed true, but it's not the real truth!"

While Rukawa was suppressing the Nine-Tails, Hiruzen Sarutobi devised a perfect explanation to salvage his image in Naruto's eyes.

Even if Naruto doesn't completely believe it, it can reduce Naruto's resentment towards him!

“That’s right, Naruto. The reason why Grandpa did this was actually your father Minato Namikaze’s idea. He asked me to do it.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a sincere expression, slowly recited the set of words he had just woven.

Minato said: "Making the villagers treat you as a fox demon, hate you, and reject you is actually just to temper your mind."

If you can endure the disdain of those around you, you will grow up with an incredibly strong will and an incredibly powerful heart!

This will lay a solid foundation for you to become an excellent ninja in the future!

Rukawa watched Hiruzen Sarutobi's performance with great interest, without interrupting.

"As for your family's assets, it's not that I don't want to give them to you, but Minato specifically instructed that the assets cannot be given to you before you come of age!"

The purpose of the Water Gate is to let you grow up in a harsh environment and instill in you a spirit of hard work and perseverance from a young age.

True strength is never a smooth journey for anyone!

You have to understand Minato's good intentions, Naruto!

"Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed."

Naruto looked at the Third Hokage, expressionless, without saying a word!

Hiruzen Sarutobi interpreted this as Naruto being unable to accept such a cruel truth, and thus remaining silent.

So he advised:

"Naruto, I know you can't accept this fact right now, but please don't resent your father Minato Namikaze. Everything he did was for your own good."

If you want to hate someone, hate me, your great-grandfather for three generations! After all, Minato only provided the plan; it was I who implemented it!

"Are you done talking?!"

Naruto asked calmly.

"This is the whole truth, Naruto, please, please don't..."

"I have already met my father, Minato Namikaze!"

"Wha...what?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in surprise, his old face filled with astonishment.

He looked at Naruto's expressionless face, thinking he had misheard, and asked again to confirm:

"What?! You said you saw your father, Minato Namikaze?!"

"Yes, just now, I saw my father, Minato Namikaze, in my inner world."

He said that entrusting me to you, this old man, was the biggest mistake of his life.

He must be blind to believe an old politician like you!

Naruto gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a look of utter disgust, then turned and left.

Today, he truly witnessed Hiruzen Sarutobi's shamelessness and audacity.

They even tried to shift the blame to his father!

Moreover, he spoke with such sincerity that if he hadn't met Minato Namikaze, he would very likely have chosen to believe the old man's nonsense!

It's so nasty!

"Tsk tsk tsk! What's that saying again, 'Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead'? That's exactly what you're like, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

But I still appreciate the show you put on for me, you old geezer. As a thank you, I won't bother you today! Hahaha!

Rukawa burst into unrestrained laughter, his tone full of sarcasm!

They brought this on themselves!

Seeing that the expected situation had occurred, Rukawa was quite pleased.

Now, without him saying anything more, Naruto's favorability towards the Third Hokage immediately turned negative, making his trip worthwhile.

After giving Hiruzen Sarutobi a mocking look, Rukawa used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the Hokage's office.

boom! !

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist heavily on the desk, creating a crack that nearly split the entire desk in two.

boom! !

With a swift kick, the desk was completely shattered, sending paper documents flying everywhere.

At that moment, he was furious!

"Minato, since you still had a backup plan, why didn't you tell me?!"

His face turned ashen, and a feeling of resentment welled up inside him.

Now, the kind old man image he had painstakingly built up in front of Naruto is completely ruined and can never be repaired.

Moreover, Naruto probably already considers him an enemy.

And all of this was caused by that guy...

"Sasuke Uchiha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi uttered the name that filled him with extreme anger, each word deliberate and uttered through gritted teeth.

It was all because of Rukawa that all his efforts over the years were in vain.

This time they stole the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so what about next time?

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was suddenly startled and realized what was happening...

The two most precious things in Konoha are the Nine-Tails and... the Book of Seals!

Swish! !

Ignoring the mess in the office, Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly used the Body Flicker Technique to rush towards the secret room where the Book of Seals was stored.

The Book of Seals... must never fall into Rukawa's hands.

If Rukawa knew what the Third Hokage was doing at this moment, he would only scoff disdainfully.

The Book of Seals... He had actually considered "borrowing" it to study it.

But after careful consideration, I decided to give up.

Because there is no need!

The forbidden techniques recorded in the Book of Seals are very powerful, but at his level, they can only serve as icing on the cake and are not of great significance!

Moreover, after "borrowing" it, he would have to spend a lot of time studying it, which is too troublesome!

...

"Naruto, what are your plans for the future?! Do you want to join the Uchiha clan?"

I can assure you, within the Uchiha clan, no one will mistake you for a demon fox, and no one will despise you anymore!
