Ch. 108. One by one. [1]
Naruto stared at Mizuki blankly, shocked by himself's identity.
Also shocked were Sasuke, Sakura, and the Tazuna family.
No one thought that such a stupid genin who looked carefree and unreliable would actually be the son of Yondaime.
Naruto looked at Kakashi:
- "Kakashi-sensei, is this true?"
Kakashi sighed and nodded.
Naruto:
- "I, since I am the son of the Yon... Yondaime, why, why does everyone hate me?"
- "Why, why did I have to go fishing alone in the wild for food when I was a kid?"
- "Why do everyone call me the [Son of the Nine-Tailed Fox]? Obviously, my father is the hero who saved the village from the Kyuubi!"
- "Why, why on earth is this?"
At this time, cracks began to appear between Naruto and Konoha.
His eyes began to turn gray.
Kakashi said:
- "Naruto, the reason why the third generation concealed your identity is actually to protect you. You must not blame him."
- "Yondaime killed too many enemies during the Third Ninja War. If your identity is revealed, you will definitely suffer countless assassinations."
Naruto's eyes suddenly brightened a little, as if he had seen the dawn.
Mizuki couldn't help but sneer:
- "Haha!"
- "This kind of rhetoric is just a lie to children. Kakashi, do you believe it?"
- "Your father Sakumo Hatake, known as the White Fang of Konoha, killed as many enemies as the Yondaime."
- "You are Sakumo's son. There are countless people who want to kill you."
- "Why doesn't Sandaime conceal your identity?"
Kakashi explained:
- "This is different. At that time, I already had the ability to protect myself, and I didn't need to hide it at all."
Mizuki asked:
- "What about Konohamaru? He is the grandson of Sandaime. Why doesn't Sandaime conceal his identity?"
Kakashi:
- "Konohamaru is protected."
Mizuki sneered:
- "Yes, Sandaime's grandson is protected, while Yondaime's son is left to fend for himself."
Kakashi opened his mouth, but at this moment, he was speechless. His excuse seemed absurd even to himself.
Mizuki:
- "The fundamental reason why Sandaime concealed Naruto's true identity was to make all the villagers hate him and cause indelible trauma to his young psychology."
- "Then, Sandaime appeared in Naruto's life from time to time, giving Naruto care and love. This made Naruto have an unparalleled affection for Sandaime, obey Sandaime's words, and become Sandaime's most loyal puppet."
A person spent day after day in the darkness, cold, desolate, and full of despair.
And in this darkness, there is a light that appears from time to time, warm, bright, and bringing hope.
This person will have an infinite fondness for this light.
But he didn't know that all the darkness was created by this light.
At this time, Naruto clenched his fists.
What came to mind was one indifferent look after another.
Suddenly, Sandaime's kind smiling face appeared, dispelling the indifference around him.
But the next moment, the kind smile turned into a cold sneer.
Naruto:
- "No!"
- "This is not true, Kakashi-sensei, tell me, this is not true!"
Kakashi wanted to defend, but unfortunately, he really had nothing to say at this moment.
Naruto's clenched fists loosened. He was completely disappointed with Konoha and Sandaime:
- "Konohamaru is the grandson of Sandaime. He has been loved by everyone since he was a child. No matter what mistakes he makes, his family will forgive him because his grandfather is the Hokage."
- "But I am obviously Yondaime's son, but I have been disliked and hated by others since I was a child. I will be criticized for anything I do. No one likes me, and even my peers are not willing to be friends with me."
- "Why, why on earth!?"
His heart was filled with grievance and sadness.
He hated the villagers of Konoha, hated Sandaime, and hated his parents.
Mizuki sighed and looked at Kakashi again and said:
- "Kakashi, let alone Naruto, do you really not doubt your father's death?"
- "Obviously, Sandaime's words can stop the villagers from accusing your father. Why doesn't he do that?"
Kakashi frowned and said:
- "Stop talking!"
Mizuki didn't hold his tongue, but continued:
- "High-level missions are obviously confidential. Why do ordinary villagers know so clearly that your father's mission failed?"
Kakashi roared directly:
- "Shut up!"
Mizuki continued:
- "It was the time when Yondaime was elected. Sandaime was afraid that your father would become Yondaime."
- "Not only was your father, Orochimaru was also driven out of the village by Sandaime, Jiraiya and Tsunade were also forced to travel."
- "After all, if they become Hokage, Sandaime will completely step down."
- "So, in the end, Namikaze Minato became Yondaime, but the rights of the village are still in the hands of Yondaime."
- "Who is Namikaze Minato the youngest, the least capable and the least capable?"
Kakashi stared at Mizuki, his face ferocious, his eyes about to burst:
- "Mizuki!"
Mizuki smiled and said:
- "It seems that you have guessed it a long time ago, but you have always been unwilling to accept the reality, haha!"
His words ruthlessly revealed Kakashi's last scar.
Mizuki was actually very reluctant to say this.
Kakashi is a poor man. His father is dead, his teacher and his wife are dead, and his teammates are also dead.
He was left alone. Alone in the world.
If it weren't for Might Guy, he would have turned dark long ago.
But he is such a person, very gentle, very careful and considerate of others.
His heart was littered with "injury" and "scars", but he was still gentle with those around him.
People like this shouldn't be hurt anymore.
But Mizuki still explained what he said. Although these words hurt Kakashi a lot, Mizuki still said it.
Because blindly escaping will only make the injury worse.
Only by facing oneself squarely and recognizing the reality can we break away from the sadness, walk out of the shadow of past suffering, and live a new self.
Spending the whole day diverting attention with pornographic books like "Flirting Tactics" is a negative sign of being irresponsible to oneself.
