The Fourth Hokage continued, "It seems that the Third really didn't say anything. About the information about the Nine-Tails, perhaps..."
Before he could finish his words, Naruto punched him.
The Fourth Hokage's face flashed with pain.
Naruto's punch dissipated most of his already limited chakra.
But it didn't matter.
After death, he was already satisfied to see his son again.
"Why, why did you seal the Nine-Tails in your son's body. Thanks to you, I have been looked down upon since I was a child. For this, I practiced hard, and then met Brother Kirito, Sensei Iruka, Sensei Kakashi and the Lecherous Sage. I am very happy that someone can recognize me and become stronger."
"But Brother Kirito left and joined Akatsuki, and Sensei Kakashi and the Lecherous Sage were also killed by Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization. I can't tell what to say anymore."
Naruto cried and told the grievances he had suffered over the years.
"Is that so?" When he heard Kirito's name, the Fourth Hokage was stunned for a moment, and his face regained a smile as if in spring breeze, "It seems that you have suffered a lot in these years. But now is not the time to despair."
"What?!" Naruto wiped his tears and looked puzzled.
The Fourth Hokage did not answer and skipped the previous topic, "I already know about the Akatsuki organization, including the matter between Kirito and Teacher Jiraiya. I have been paying attention to it silently in your body all these years."
"Then was it also Pain who controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha before?" Naruto heard it and asked hurriedly.
It was because of that riot that many people lost their parents, Kirito's elder brother, Iruka's teacher, and his own.
Sometimes, he wondered, if the Nine-Tails did not attack the village, would Kirito's elder brother not leave?
"Not really." The Fourth Hokage shook his head, "The real mastermind behind this is someone else. I'm afraid that Pain was also used. As for who it is, I think you should have seen it, that guy with a mask in the Akatsuki organization."
"Is it him?" The figure of Obito appeared in Naruto's mind.
"Ah," the Fourth Hokage nodded and chuckled, "But now it seems that Konoha seems to have a very good ninja. The little girl named Chinatsu was able to force the masked man to that extent."
Hearing this, Naruto's face was full of jealousy, as if to say, is it really okay to praise other people's children in front of your own son, or such a brat?
The Fourth Hokage seemed to understand Naruto's thoughts and smiled slightly, adding: "And my son, you too, have become quite outstanding now, no worse than that guy's daughter."
"Hehe." Naruto thought that the guy the Fourth Hokage was talking about was Tsunade. He smiled foolishly and scratched the back of his head, and continued to ask: "Is the Third Hokage really the person Sasuke said? It was he and Danzo who ordered Brother Kirito and Uchiha Itachi to massacre the Uchiha clan, and then wanted to kill them all."
"I have not experienced this matter personally, so I cannot make an objective evaluation." The Fourth Hokage frowned. "Regarding the issue of the Uchiha clan, the situation is very complicated."
"There are historical issues, and there is also the responsibility of the Konoha high-level officials. If I hadn't died, perhaps changes could have been made."
"As for the matter of Kirito and Uchiha Itachi, the Third Hokage and Danzo really went too far."
"The two of them made different extreme choices. One chose to massacre the entire clan, protect his brother, and protect the village from falling into war. The other chose to protect the people he cherished and massacred the Third Hokage and Danzo's clansmen."
"It's hard to say who is right or wrong."
At this point, the Fourth Hokage couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe it's just like Kirito said, as long as the ninja system exists, then such things will continue to happen. There will be no peaceful order."
Naruto was stunned, "What did Brother Kirito say?"
The Fourth Hokage nodded heavily, "Pain should have asked you about peace. As long as love exists, hatred will derive. Ninjas are exploited by this hatred, even as strong as Pain is."
"Hatred will derive new Pains. It is not so much Pain that has caused all this now, but hatred. It is this cruel ninja system."
As he spoke, the Fourth Hokage's body gradually became transparent, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
He changed the subject, raised his hand and touched the top of Naruto's head in front of Naruto's stunned eyes, "But if it is you, I am willing to believe in you like Jiraiya-sensei."
"I" Naruto felt unprecedented recognition, and said unconfidently, "Can I really do it?"
"Of course, because you are my son. I believe in you." The Fourth Hokage said seriously.
"Since even the Fourth Hokage said so, I will take it as a favor." Naruto gave an affirmative answer.
At this time, he finally discovered the change of the Fourth Hokage, "Dad, you..."
"It's almost time. It seems that it's time for me to go." The Fourth Hokage raised his translucent hand and pressed it on Naruto's abdomen, "Next, I will repair the seal for you, but this is the last time."
"Finally, it's great to see you grow up again."
After saying that, the Fourth Hokage gradually retreated, becoming more and more transparent, and finally disappeared completely from Naruto's sight.
"I will, Dad." Naruto raised his hands to both sides, maintaining the posture of hugging his head, and shed tears of happiness.
Outside.
With a bang, the Nine-Tails that was about to break through the Chibaku Tensei disappeared. Naruto's figure was revealed.
Nagato was forced to disintegrate the Chibaku Tensei due to excessive chakra loss.
Under the influence of the protagonist's halo, the last Pain was quickly defeated.
"Naruto, you finally succeeded." Seeing Naruto defeat Pain, Jiraiya, who was standing next to Kirito, shed tears of relief.
"Is it necessary? A grown man is crying like this?" Kirito looked at Jiraiya with contempt.
"Shut up, what do you know? Do you know what this means?" Jiraiya wiped his tears and said excitedly, "This means that the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage is true. Naruto is the son of prophecy, the future of this ninja world, and the one who will bring changes to this chaotic ninja world."
"Great Toad Sage? Prophecy?" Kirito was more and more contemptuous, "You are really childish, you are just a toad who has lived longer. The so-called prophecy is nothing more than a special ability to see a vague tip of the iceberg of the future. It is not worthy of praise."
"Hey, you are not allowed to disrespect the Great Toad Sage." Jiraiya shouted.
"Let's go and see the so-called prophecy you mentioned, and then you will be free. Next time, I may not hold back on the Konoha ninjas."
Kirito said, holding Jiraiya's shoulder with his right hand, and performing Flying Thunder God and disappeared on the spot.
