Almost Laughed Out Loud

Sarutobi Hiruzen's efficiency was very high.

On the afternoon of making the promise, he arranged for people to clean the house that once belonged to Minato, and then gave the keys and the deed to Naruto.

Afterwards, he convened a temporary village meeting, took Naruto to the top of the Hokage Building, and announced Naruto's identity as the Fourth Hokage's son in front of everyone, refuting the Demon Fox rumors that had been circulating in the village for ten years.

Standing next to the railing on the top of the Hokage Building, Naruto calmly looked down at the many ninjas and villagers below.

Neither sad nor happy.

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen announce Naruto's identity, except for a very small number of people who had already known Naruto's identity, the rest looked at Naruto in disbelief.

In their hearts, they didn't want to admit that the Demon Fox brat they had hated for ten years was actually the child of the Fourth Hokage who saved the village.

However, Naruto's familiar hairstyle and hair color, as well as his face, coupled with Sarutobi Hiruzen's endorsement at this moment, all explained one thing, that this matter was true.

Naruto, the Demon Fox whom they had been shouting to kill to avenge the Fourth Hokage, was really the Fourth Hokage's child.

At the same time, this also made another guess a reality.

Naruto is not the Demon Fox, but the Fourth Hokage's son, then he must be the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that caused huge casualties.

Many people felt extremely complicated at this moment.

There was guilt for the cold eyes Naruto had received over the years, and hatred for the Demon Fox in his body.

These guilt and ten years of accumulated hatred mixed together, causing almost everyone to choose to subconsciously escape.

After all, people are creatures who will not actively pursue their own mistakes.

Especially for someone they are not familiar with, when they have not tasted the pain, it makes them even less likely to pursue their mistakes.

Therefore, after the initial guilt, most of them chose to avoid Naruto, not wanting to face him.

After this day, Naruto would no longer be met with hatred and cold eyes when walking in the village.

He would no longer be refused entry or ripped off when going out to buy food or other items.

However, they chose the same attitude as when they first saw Naruto seven years ago.

They ignored Naruto's existence, even if Naruto walked on the bustling street, the people around him treated him as if he didn't exist.

Perhaps time can change all of this, allowing some of them to change their mentality and accept Naruto.

But more people will never change their attitude towards Naruto in this lifetime.

Naruto had long expected all of this.

Therefore, all of this did not cause any ripples in his heart.

...

In the evening, Naruto and Sasuke, led by Kakashi, arrived in front of a large house.

This was where his parents, Minato Namikaze and his mother Kushina Uzumaki, once lived together and conceived him.

And now, they have finally returned here.

Looking at the familiar house in front of him, which he had not been near for many years, a trace of excitement and remembrance appeared on Kakashi's face.

He had returned to this place.

His gray and lightless life, seemingly frozen in the year of the Nine-Tailed Riot, now seemed to flow again because of Naruto, the child of his student and his wife, and Sasuke, this old friend and member of his clan.

Naruto used the key to open the door. Because it had just been cleaned, the house wasn't dirty.

However, the erosion of ten years had ultimately left some traces of age on the furniture in this house.

Even though not long ago, Naruto had seen the layout of this house in the anime.

But Naruto was still eagerly looking around the room, guessing what it was like when his parents lived here. After all, the two-dimensional world and reality were very different.

Sasuke also followed Naruto, wandering around in this fairly spacious house.

And Kakashi, looking at the familiar layout of the room, the look of reminiscence on his face became even stronger, and he couldn't help but think of the scene where his teacher and his wife invited him to their house for dinner.

Unfortunately, those days would never return.

When Naruto turned to the dining room, he saw a letter on the table.

"To Naruto-kun, from Shimura Danzo."

Looking at these words, Naruto looked at it with interest, and only after confirming that there were no tricks on the letter did he pick it up.

In the letter, Danzo first introduced himself, and then admitted that he had indeed spread rumors back then.

The purpose was to isolate and reduce the number of people who came into contact with Naruto as a Jinchuriki, so as to protect Naruto.

His actions were also for the sake of Naruto's safety and the interests of the village, but he didn't expect to cause so much harm to Naruto, and he didn't know how to make up for it, so he was very embarrassed.

For this reason, Danzo sincerely apologized to Naruto, and presented a Wind Release Ninjutsu, Wind Release Vacuum Great Sphere, as a gift to express his apology.

He requested that Naruto not hold it against him.

It was just a bit of a pity that he couldn't come to apologize to Naruto in person because of his mobility issues.

This letter was full of sincerity in every line.

If Naruto didn't know what kind of person Danzo was, he would have almost believed it.

Because he knew Danzo's character, Naruto's heart was full of amusement at this moment, and he couldn't help but maliciously start thinking about how long Danzo had done psychological construction before finally writing such a letter against his conscience.

Presumably, the other party should be close to suffering internal injuries, right?

At the thought of this, Naruto almost laughed out loud.

And the fox spirit in his belly, who had also watched Naruto, was not so reserved, and was already laughing and rolling on the sofa.

The Naruto in the manga, the good-old-boy character that anyone could bully, would naturally not let Danzo make such a decision.

Bully him if you bully him, anyway, you can't take revenge on me.

But the Naruto in reality undoubtedly made everyone understand that he was not an easy target.

To treat him, one must take an attitude of respecting the strong.

Sasuke, who was beside him, saw Naruto reading the letter with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but come over to take a look. In the end, he didn't know much about the village and Danzo, so he couldn't understand where Naruto's humor was.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Naruto, what are you laughing at?"

Meanwhile, Kakashi, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, took the letter from Naruto and glanced at it. Knowing Danzo's gloomy and arrogant personality, he couldn't help but chuckle, then smiled and explained the situation to Sasuke, who was standing beside him.

Finally, in an excellent mood, Kakashi waved his hand and said with a cheerful and energetic smile, "Yosh! Today is a housewarming celebration, and so many good things have happened. It's worth celebrating, so let me make a table full of food to celebrate!"
