The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

He just felt that Minato was going a bit too far.

"Third-generation master, although I don't know the exact reason why the teacher did this, but I guess, could it be related to the mysterious Uchiha Madara?"

After thinking for a while, Kakashi answered tentatively.

"Hmm? That mysterious Uchiha Madara? He caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion and secretly planned everything on the night of the coup.

So that's it, Kakashi, you mean to say that Minato faked his death in order to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Uchiha Madara?"

After pondering for a moment, the Third Hokage immediately understood the meaning of Kakashi's words.

"That's right! I think Minato-sensei felt that since he was in the open, he might continue to be targeted by Uchiha Madara, so he simply took advantage of the situation and faked his death.

In this way, the teacher also hides in the dark.

This will undoubtedly be helpful in investigating the whereabouts of Uchiha Madara.

After all, in Uchiha Madara's eyes, the teacher was already dead. How could he have thought that the teacher had just changed his appearance and had actually been monitoring and guarding against him in secret?

This can be seen from the night of the coup.

It was because the teacher silently protected Konoha in the dark that Uchiha Madara's conspiracy to overthrow Konoha was finally shattered.

Yes, Sandaime-sama, I understand.

The teacher did all this for only one purpose, which was to give up the fame and fortune that came with being Hokage and protect the village in secret.

Minato-sensei, he is the real "root" of Konoha!"

The more Kakashi talked about it, the more it made sense to him. By now, his eyes were shining with excitement and his whole body was shaking!

It has to be said that after his mind became enlightened, Kakashi has completely let himself go.

Of course, Lord

In fact, the credit should go to Cang Si.

It is precisely because of his style of covering up, revealing a little and hiding a little that Kakashi came up with so many "reasonable" explanations in his mind!

Chapter 754: Testing Naruto

"Protecting Konoha in secret? I see, this is indeed what Minato would do. Minato, who possesses the will of fire, doesn't care about the position of Hokage.

He sacrificed so much for this village!"

The Third Hokage easily accepted Kakashi's explanation.

After all, Minato was his apprentice, and he knew Minato's character too well.

The other party is definitely someone who is willing to sacrifice himself for the village. Otherwise, with the mobility of the Flying Thunder God Technique, who can guarantee that he will be kept?

Rather than saying that Minato was killed by Uchiha Madara, it would be better to say that he sacrificed himself voluntarily!

The Third Hokage was also very clear about this.

"Not only that, Third-sama, in addition to the reason of secretly protecting Konoha, the teacher should also have the intention of training Naruto.

You know, we now treat Naruto as a war orphan, which is a good way to train Naruto's will to grow up independently.

After all, if the teacher and his wife had not faked their deaths, Naruto's current status and treatment would be completely different.

But if that were the case, could Naruto have grown to where he is now?

I guess that’s not necessarily the case, is it?”

Thinking of Naruto's outstanding performance now, Kakashi couldn't help but be more certain of his guess. ..

As a result, even the Third Hokage's thoughts are now following Kakashi's.

"Indeed, if you look at it this way, Minato and I really have the same idea!"

After listening to Kakashi's another round of explanation, the Third Hokage was really relieved.

Because, if what Kakashi said was true, then there would be no problem at all with his arrangements for Naruto's life.

This made the Third Hokage finally feel relieved that he had not given Naruto the treatment he deserved as the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Thinking of his second son Asuma, who had also been troubled by his identity as the son of Hokage, if he really trained Naruto to be like Asuma, he would be truly disappointing Minato's expectations.

It can only be said that, in addition to bringing infinite glory, the son of Hokage is also a restriction to him.

This can be seen from Asuma and Boruto.

They all tried their best to break away from the influence of their parents.

Because, that may very well be a shackle that is not conducive to a person's growth!

By now, let alone Kakashi, even the Third Hokage has started to imagine all kinds of reasons why Minato and Kushina faked their deaths.

Just as Souji expected, instead of going to great lengths to explain everything to the Third Hokage and other Konoha high-ranking officials, it would be better to give them some clues and let them use their imagination.

As for whether the guess is right or wrong, it is none of Cang Si’s business.

Anyway, these imaginary scripts were all thought up by the Third Hokage and Kakashi. What do they have to do with him, Hinata Souji?

"Also, Kakashi, do you think Naruto knows his identity now? After all, if it was really Kushina who taught him behind the scenes.

And he had contact with the Duke of Darkness before us, so it is very likely that he has some guesses about his identity."

After Kakashi mentioned Naruto, the Third Hokage asked this question again.

This is also very important!

This presented the question of how they should treat Naruto in the future.

"Third-sama, I am not sure about this, but judging from Naruto's attitude that night, I tend to think that the probability of not knowing is greater."

Kakashi touched his chin, raised his head and pretended to be thinking.

However, it can be heard that compared to his previous certainty about some guesses, Kakashi is obviously much less confident this time.

This is normal. Naruto just acted like a traitor that night and did not have too many other contacts with the Duke of Darkness. If Kakashi could see that, there must be something fishy!

But to be honest, Kakashi's intuition is still very sharp.

Naruto didn't know that Minato was his father, but he was still aware that Minato was the Fourth Hokage of the village.

Clear.

The statue of the Hokage Rock is right there. I believe that as long as people are not blind, after seeing the true face of the Duke of Darkness, they will know his identity as the Fourth Hokage.

Therefore, Cangsi had no intention of hiding this from Naruto at the beginning.

After all, there’s no way to hide it, right?

However, Naruto already knew that Kushina was his mother.

Kakashi and the Third Hokage certainly did not expect this.

Unlike Minato who has not yet been fully resurrected, Souji is now just occupying Minato's body. It is understandable that he does not let Naruto know that Minato is his father.

Otherwise, how should Naruto call him?

That would be very embarrassing!

Even Sorasuke would feel uncomfortable thinking about such a scene, let alone Naruto.

But Kushina is different, she has been resurrected in the true sense.

If Souji were to let Kushina and Naruto meet each other without knowing each other, wouldn't that be too cruel?

Cang Si would definitely not do such a thing.

Play is play, jokes are jokes, and Cang Si also likes to make friends occasionally, but he really won't stop the mother and son from recognizing each other just to satisfy his own bad taste.

"Is that so? If that's the case, why don't we just call Naruto over and ask him? Then we'll know, right?"

Having said that, a smile suddenly appeared on the old face of the Third Hokage.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment when he heard the Third Hokage say this.

Afterwards, he carefully thought about the feasibility of what the Third Hokage said, and found that they could indeed test Naruto's understanding of his own identity.

Anyway, if they don't know, they will continue to hide it.

If they already knew, they could just find out what Naruto knew about the Dark Duke and the Uzumaki Kushina who was hiding in the dark.

Why not do this?

There is no loss for either Naruto or them.

The two also believed that since Minato (teacher) was willing to reveal his identity vaguely, he should be prepared for this.

Next, they just need to understand Minato and Kushina’s plans, and then they can find opportunities to cooperate with each other.

This is also the common idea of ​​the Third Hokage and Kakashi.

"I understand, Sandaime-sama. I will go get Naruto right away."

After figuring it out, Kakashi nodded respectfully to the Third Hokage and said.

Then Kakashi left the Hokage's office.

"Minato, I will protect Konoha until you come back, and then I will hand over a village without any hidden dangers to you!"

After Kakashi closed the door of the Hokage's office, he vaguely heard such a voice coming from inside.

Smiling, Kakashi walked directly towards the ninja school.

At this point in time, the students have just started school.

Even if the little tough guys of Konoha planned to skip classes, they usually did so in the afternoon, so Kakashi quickly found Naruto.

The opponent is competing with Sasuke in the ring!

As for this arena, it was specially created by Cang Si when he was reforming the ninja school.

This has been explained before, so I won’t go into details here.

"King Kong Blockade!"

"Clang clang clang"

On the ring, several chains extended from behind Naruto and tied up Sasuke, which meant that he had won the competition with Sasuke again.

It can be said that once Sasuke is trapped by the King Kong Seal, it means that he no longer has the power to resist.

"Damn it! Naruto is getting more and more proficient in using this ninjutsu. How can I break his ninjutsu?"

After losing the competition, Sasuke was still feeling indignant.

By now, the contest between Naruto and Sasuke has basically reached 2 to 1!

That is, for every two times Naruto defeats Sasuke, Sasuke may only win back once.

The other friends also noticed that Naruto's suppression of Sasuke was getting stronger and stronger.

If this continues, the ratio may even reach 3 to 1, 4 to 1, 5 to 1, or even more in the future!

Well, this is the result that Cang Si wanted to see.

After finding Naruto, Kakashi didn't say much and took him away directly.

Of course, before this, Kakashi must have already greeted Itachi, the principal of the ninja school.

When Itachi heard that it was the Third Hokage looking for Naruto, he did not try to stop him and let him go.

At the same time, Itachi also guessed a little about the purpose of the Third Hokage looking for Naruto.

Although Itachi didn't know that Minato and Kushina were still alive, he and Kakashi saw Naruto take the initiative to help the Duke of Dark Night that night.

"Is it related to the Duke of Darkness? I always feel that Kakashi-senpai is hiding a lot of things."

Watching Kakashi taking Naruto away, Itachi looked outside in the principal's office and muttered to himself.

However, since Kakashi was not going to say it, Itachi was not a nosy person and would not ask questions.

For Itachi, the most important thing is to take good care of the students of the Ninja School. Matters like the Dark Night Duke are actually not his responsibility.

The fight with the Duke of Darkness that night was just a coincidence.

After looking away, Itachi continued to deal with his own affairs.

On the other side, Kakashi soon brought Naruto to the Hokage's office again.

"Hokage-sama, Naruto is here."
