Chapter 020: Naruto's Identity

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen, who was dealing with official duties, froze in place as if he was petrified after hearing Kakashi's report.

*Bang*

The smoking pipe in his mouth fell on the ground.

What the hell?

Villagers marching and protesting?

The purpose of the parade is to drive the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki out of Konoha?

What a joke!

If he really drives the Nine-Tail Jinchuuriki out of Konoha, his teacher, Senju Tobirama would crawl out of the grave and strangle him to death.

Hiruzen turned to look at the village outside the window from the Hokage Office. He could vaguely seem to see a dark mass in the distance, rushing towards this direction.

Phrases such as "Demon Fox" and "Get out of Konoha" also faintly entered his ears.

'It's all over!'

'It's really happening!'

He collapsed on his chair in exhaustion, sweating all over his body.

He was like a fish out of water.

"Danzo! You bastard!"

Hiruzen's eyes turned red for a moment.

There was no doubt that this was Danzo's fault!

Now, how can he put a stop to this?

…

"Uncle..."

Naruto held Mirai's hand tighter, and his palms had become sweaty due to nervousness.

Behind him, a huge mass of hundreds of villagers were shouting with the same hatred and malice.

"Demon fox! Get out of Konoha!"

He has suffered a lot of bullying both verbal and physical. Whenever he walked on the road, children of his own age would throw stones at him and adults would point at him, curse him and even try to beat him or throw things at him.

The void in his heart was like a huge black hole, swallowing up all his energy.

Every day, he felt like a zombie.

Sitting alone on the swing, silently watching the children of the same age with friends and family.

However, even those times were far less compared to the bullying happening this time.

Almost all the villagers in the village gathered to drive him out of Konoha.

He didn't understand what he had done wrong?

Why does he had to endure the cold looks and malice from everyone wherever he goes?

Why are these adults pouring out all their malice on him?

'Why?!'

The gentle caress from the top of his head brought his thoughts back from the pain.

"Don't be afraid, there's still your uncle with you."

"Even if the whole world stands opposite to you, I will always stand in front of you."

Naruto's body trembled slightly.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and made a smile.

"I'm not afraid."

Yes, now he also has a family, he has his uncle!

Even if everyone hated him, he still had his uncle with him.

Thinking about it this way, Naruto seemed to feel that the cursing villagers around him were not so loud anymore.

The outline of the Hokage Building came into view.

There was already a large group of villagers gathered there, eager to rush in with excitement.

The Anbu members were maintaining order.

Several masked Anbu were sweating profusely, blocking the crowd who wanted to rush in.

"Please don't get excited, Hokage-sama will be here soon!"

"This is the Hokage Building, please maintain order."

Kakashi was also among those Anbu, and his silver hair was particularly conspicuous, but it was obviously difficult for him too to cope with the chaotic crowd, and he himself was a little in a hurry due to the turn of events.

"Hokage-sama is here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and then all the people started to squeeze towards the entrance of the Hokage Building. The pressure on the blocking Anbu increased instantly, and they were almost crushed under their feet.

Hiruzen walked out of the entrance accompanied by Anbu and looked at the excited crowd, feeling extremely stressed for a moment.

He scolded Danzo almost to death in his heart.

'Danzo, you bastard! You left me to wipe your ass for the trouble you caused!'

In order to cope with this scene, he specially put on the formal Hokage attire and also brought the Hokage hat.

But now it seemed that it might not have much effect.

Before he could speak, the crowd began to shout their demands.

"Hokage-sama, please drive the demon fox out of Konoha!"

"Yes! And his nasty uncle!"

"He is relying on his strength to do evil! Many villagers have been threatened by him! Please be sure to drive him away too!"

"That's right! Drive away the demon fox and his bastard uncle!"

In front of the Hokage Building, Naruto squeezed Mirai's hand even tighter, lowered his head and pursed his lips silently.

Their location was the only open space among the crowd, and all the villagers kept their distance from them, with disgust in their eyes.

Hiruzen's scalp was numb, he took a deep breath and used chakra to enhance the sound of his voice.

"Everyone! Please calm down!"

"If you believe me, the Third Hokage, please leave this matter to me and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

This deeply touching speech had immediate results.

The turmoil of the crowd began to subside.

The strange sounds also began to diminish.

"We naturally believe what Hokage-sama says."

"Well, Hokage-sama will definitely not let the demon fox and his bastard uncle do whatever they want. He is the one who killed the Fourth Hokage-sama!"

Mirai sneered.

He was amused by this bunch of fools.

Naruto was the murderer of Minato?

If his brother was resurrected and heard these words ans saw these actions of the villagers he saved with his and his wife's life, what expression would he make?

'He is laughing?'

'The demon fox's bastard uncle is actually laughing?'

This obvious action was caught by the surrounding villagers, and their eyes instantly became angry.

'Has this guy has not figured out the situation?'

"Hey! What are you laughing at? Hokage-sama is here, do you still think you can do whatever you want?"

"That's right! The demon fox should die! People related to the demon fox should also die!"

"The demon fox's uncle! His parents! They all should die!"

"Speaking of the fact that a demon fox can be born, his parents should not good people, right?"

Hearing these unpleasant curses, Naruto's body trembled, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of his soul in an instant, and all color was lost in his eyes.

He himself not only was cursed at.

He also dragged his uncle in it.

He also dragged his parents whom he has never even met.

Mirai's eyes gradually became colder, and he stared at the villager who had made the rude remarks just now, with a half-smile on his lips.

"Do you really know who Naruto's parents are?"

"The parents of the demon fox? Humph! I don't care who the parents of the demon fox are. If they can give birth to a demon fox, they must not be good people!"

"Yes! That right!"

The smile on Mirai's lips deepened, but when that smile fell into Hiruzen's eyes, his expression suddenly changed.

"Mirai! Naruto's identity is special and cannot be exposed yet! If his enemies find out, he will be in danger!"

"As long as I'm here, Naruto will never be in danger!"

Mirai gave him a cold look.

He slowly scanned the surrounding villagers, and all the villagers caught in his sight trembled in their hearts.

"You have been cursing that it was Naruto who killed the Fourth Hokage, but do you know Naruto's true identity?"

"Enough! Mirai!"

Hiruzen shouted to stop him.

"The demon fox you call, his true identity is..."

"That's enough! Naruto's identity cannot be revealed yet!"

Mirai took a deep breath.

His voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the Hokage Building.

"Naruto's biological parents are exactly the Fourth Hokage and his wife, whose deaths you are accusing him of!"

"He was never a demon fox!"

"He is the son of a hero!"
