When you are in Naruto, the era of live streaming for all has begun!

[Uchiha Fugaku: That Kurama kid is incredibly stupid. He's been completely fooled by the Konoha higher-ups, yet he still remembers their kindness. What an idiot!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Fugaku, watch your mouth!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Tch~ Your son slapped my son so many times, what's wrong with me saying a few words to him?]

[Kushina Uzumaki: No wonder her son gets beaten up so often because she has such a foul mouth!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: You...]

[Kushina Uzumaki: What did you say? You disagree?]

[Minato Namikaze: Alright, alright, honey, stop arguing. Did you hear what Naruto just said?]

[Kushina Uzumaki: What did you say?]

[Minato Namikaze: He just said that the Third Hokage had eaten his grilled fish before. It seems the Third Hokage cares about Naruto quite a bit!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it. Naruto catches and grills fish in the wild. The Third Hokage must have been worried about him getting into danger, which is why he went with him!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Heh~ You two are dreaming, but don't forget who your son is!]

Jinchuriki are already under surveillance by Konoha's Anbu. Old man Sarutobi didn't go to eat your son's grilled fish to protect him!

[Minato Namikaze: If it's not for protection, then what is it for?]

[Uchiha Fugaku: Isn't that obvious? Of course it's brainwashing, just like how he brainwashed my eldest son back then. Those old guys are quite terrifying when they get brainwashing!]

Hyuga Hizashi: Chief Fugaku has a point. I was also tricked by those old guys back then, and that's how I ended up dying in place of my older brother!

【Yuhi Kurenai: That's right. Naruto suffered cold looks from the villagers since he was a child and had almost no friends. Yet he was still able to maintain such an optimistic attitude as an adult.

It must be said, the brainwashing methods used by Konoha's higher-ups are truly terrifying!

[Yagura Karatachi: My god, these Konoha higher-ups are too ruthless. Naruto Uzumaki may be a Jinchuriki, but he is still the son of the Fourth Hokage, right?]

Not only did they deny him the resources and comforts befitting the son of the Hokage, but he also went and mooched off the fish he painstakingly caught in the wild!

[Third Raikage: I remember that the Fourth Hokage and his wife sacrificed themselves for Konoha Village, right?]

If that's the case, then Naruto Uzumaki is not just the son of the Hokage, but also the son of a hero.

In our Hidden Cloud Village, if a child can possess both of these honors at the same time, let alone resources and conditions!

Even if he's a Jinchūriki, if his talent allows, we'll dedicate the entire village's resources to nurturing him when he grows up!

[Brubi: That's right. Compared to the hero benefits of our Hidden Cloud Village, the treatment you receive in Konoha Village is nothing!]

[Kondo Mune: While our Iwagakure village may not have the same welfare conditions as Kumogakure, it's not as exploitative as Konoha. The Hokage's son can't even get enough to eat! It's laughable!]

[Yagura Karatachi: Our Kirigakure is pretty much the same!]

[Rasa: Although many villagers in Sunagakure are very hostile towards Jinchūriki, we have never been stingy when it comes to the resources.]

Not to mention the Child of Shadow and the son of a hero who sacrificed himself for the village!

I saw the benefits and treatment given to the sons of heroes and the sons of shadows in other ninja villages.

Consider Naruto Uzumaki's long-standing welfare benefits.

Kushina Uzumaki, a mother herself, was furious on the spot!

[Kushina Uzumaki: I knew that old bastard Third Hokage wouldn't be so kind. My husband and I sacrificed ourselves for the village, entrusting Naruto to him—it was a huge mistake!]

[Minato Namikaze: Honey, that's not what you just said!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: That was because I was blind; I almost fell for that old bastard Third Hokage's hypocrisy!]

[Sarutobi Biwako: Kushina, watch your words! Hiruzen was the one who helped your husband become the Fourth Hokage!]

It's one thing to be ungrateful, but to actually hurl insults at me? That's outrageous!

Kushina Uzumaki: Heh! Just a puppet Hokage with no real power, what's so great about being one?

All the dangers were borne by Shuimen, while the credit and benefits were all reaped by his three generations.

You have the nerve to bring up this idiot Naruto?

If it weren't for the fact that you delivered my baby before, I would have already confronted you!

[Sarutobi Biwako: ...]

[Kushina Uzumaki: If I had known Naruto wouldn't even have enough to eat while staying in Konoha, I would have cooperated with that masked man in the first place!]

[Minato Namikaze: Honey, what are you saying? Why are you cooperating with that masked man for no reason?]

[Yagura Karatachi: As expected of the Hokage's wife, she's already thinking about cooperating with other men right after giving birth, amazing!]

[The Third Raikage: Everyone says the Uzumaki clan has amazing regenerative abilities, but I never imagined they'd be so amazing as to be able to do *that* right after giving birth. I have to admit, I'm impressed!]

[Loquat Juzo: The terrifying Uzumaki clan, terrifying women...]

Kushina Uzumaki: What nonsense are you idiots spouting? When I said "cooperate," I meant cooperating with that masked man to release the Nine-Tails.

Then, after destroying Konoha, they will reseal the Nine-Tails!

In this way, although the village might be destroyed, at least the three of us will be safe!

[Minato Namikaze: Oh, that's what you meant! You almost scared me to death!]

[Yagura Karatachi: Please, next time you should speak more clearly. Just saying you're cooperating with that man is easy to misunderstand!]

[The Third Raikage: Yes, I thought your Uzumaki clan's regenerative abilities were really that amazing!]

[Uzumaki Kushina:...]

[Tobirama Senju: Fourth Hokage, your wife's ideas are dangerous! She actually wants to destroy Konoha! Has she forgotten she's the Hokage's wife?]

[Minato Namikaze: Hehe~ Kushina was just saying that out of anger, Second Hokage, please don't take it to heart.]

I see everyone talking about Naruto Uzumaki.

Uchiha Shisui, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, finally couldn't hold back any longer!

[Uchiha Shisui: Actually... regarding Naruto's treatment, there's something I'm not sure if I should say!]

[Uchiha Kagami: Shisui, they're all talking about how the Konoha higher-ups brainwashed the Jinchuriki. Why are you getting involved?]

[Uchiha Shisui: Grandpa, what I want to talk about is actually about Naruto being brainwashed.]

I'm just afraid that if I tell them, the Fourth Hokage and Lady Kushina will blame me!

[Minato Namikaze: Shisui, what exactly are you trying to say?]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Were you also involved in the Konoha higher-ups brainwashing Naruto?]

[Uchiha Shisui: I guess... but don't be offended if I tell you this, I was forced into this situation by the Konoha higher-ups!]

[Minato Namikaze: It's okay, go ahead and tell us, we won't blame you!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Hmm, since you're being honest, I won't blame you. Just say it!]

[Uchiha Shisui: Okay, then I'll say it. Actually... after my Mangekyou Sharingan awakened, I only used it on one person, and that was... Naruto Uzumaki!]

[Minato Namikaze: What...what did you say?]

Kushina Uzumaki: You bastard...

Chapter 094 The Beastly Hiruzen Sarutobi! (Begging for full subscription)

Did Naruto Uzumaki get hit by Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami?

See here.

Even with Jiang Cheng's composure, he couldn't help but stand there stunned for two seconds.

But then I thought about it.

The Konoha leadership instructed Shisui Uchiha to use Kotoamatsukami to control and alter Naruto Uzumaki's will.

It doesn't seem impossible!

After all, he was a child who had been ostracized and ridiculed by those around him since childhood!

How could one possibly remain so optimistic after growing up?

Just compare it to Gaara and you'll see.

Two children with similar upbringing.

As they grew up, they developed two completely different personalities!

A passionate person who longs for recognition!

One of them, however, is cold-hearted and finds pleasure in killing!

Is this simply because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's daily brainwashing?

Certainly not!

There is definitely something wrong here!

And Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami!

This is very likely the main reason for the difference in their personalities!

[Minato Namikaze: Honey, calm down. Shisui has already confessed, and he just said that the Konoha higher-ups forced him to do it. You have to forgive him!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Fine, Shisui, then tell me, how exactly did those old guys force you to attack Naruto back then?]

[Uchiha Shisui: Here’s what happened. Back then, our Uchiha clan experienced internal turmoil, and we were gradually becoming adversaries of the Konoha leadership.]

In order to prevent conflict between my clan and the village, I told the Konoha leadership about my Kotoamatsukami abilities.

My initial intention was to use the power of Kotoamatsukami to stop this civil war that had not yet fully broken out.

Unfortunately, the Konoha leadership did not adopt my suggestion at the time.

I thought this matter would come to an end.

Unexpectedly, that very evening, the Third Generation Elder suddenly found me.

He asked me to use Kotoamatsukami to plant a will to protect Konoha in Naruto's subconscious.

I was worried that Naruto was too young and that using Kotoamatsukami rashly might affect his mind, so I politely declined the Third Hokage's offer.

However, the Third Hokage said that because of the Nine-Tails' attack, the villagers had been hostile towards Naruto.

If Naruto develops too much hatred towards the villagers, it could trigger the seal within him, releasing the Nine-Tails.

In order to prevent the Nine-Tails' rampage from happening again, I had no choice but to obey the Third Hokage's wishes and secretly plant the will to protect Konoha in Naruto Uzumaki...

This matter was known only to me and the Third Hokage back then; even Danzo was completely unaware of it—it was top secret!

[The Third Raikage: If it's top secret, why did you reveal it?]

[Uchiha Shisui: Sigh~ Maybe it's because I feel guilty towards Naruto. I've been tormented by this all these years, but saying it out loud now actually makes me feel much better!]

[The Third Raikage: You really are an honest person!]

[Uchiha Shisui: ...]

Uchiha Shisui recounted in detail the secret mission that Hiruzen Sarutobi had given him years ago.

This caused the Minato couple, who were already somewhat dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi, to go berserk on the spot!

Minato Namikaze: Before the Uchiha clan was wiped out, wasn't Naruto only six or seven years old?

To resort to such cunning tactics to deal with a child—this third-generation scoundrel is utterly despicable!

[Kushina Uzumaki: I'm so angry! I've never been treated like this before! Third Hokage, what do you have to say now?]

[Sarutobi Biwako: Sigh~ I never expected Hiruzen to be so ruthless. But then again, Hiruzen's original intention was to prevent the Nine-Tails from going berserk!]

To be honest, as Hokage, he didn't do anything wrong; it's just that as an elder, his actions were somewhat inappropriate!

Kushina Uzumaki: Hmph! Even now, you're still lying through your teeth. Naruto was just a child back then. Even if he was worried that Kurama would go berserk, he shouldn't have attacked a child, right?

Didn't you just hear Shisui say that using Kotoamatsukami on a child would cause serious side effects?

[Sarutobi Biwako: ...]

[Minato Namikaze: Shisui, will your Kotoamatsukami really have a negative impact on young children?]

[Uchiha Shisui: Hmm, Kotoamatsukami is the strongest genjutsu. Its mental manipulation effect can cause irreversible mental breakdown in children with weaker nervous systems!]
