Chương 193: Chapter 193: Hokage's Three Punches! Hokage, Hokage, Hokage, nonsense Hokage!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was beginning to doubt his hearing because he actually heard the words "Third Hokage" from Naruto's mouth.
This is a very normal title, and also a very formal one.
This title can be spoken by anyone.
But it should never come from Naruto's mouth.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression had changed slightly because of Naruto's words.
Especially Naruto's previous sentence.
It made Sarutobi Hiruzen vaguely aware of something.
But he was not quite sure.
Or to say.....
He didn't really want his worst guess to come true.
"Naruto, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand," Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was stiff and complex. He wanted to squeeze out a smile, but Naruto's reaction made his face look very conflicted.
Naruto's little face was unprecedentedly serious.
His eyes were staring straight at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Naruto said seriously, "I mean... the person who is least qualified to criticize me for messing around is you, 'Third Hokage-sama'! Don't you know what this sentence means?"
Naruto pointed in a direction, "Let me explain to you, do you know what that place is?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, "Over there... is the residential area of Konohagakure?"
"No, I'm talking about a place further away."
Naruto said, "It's Hokage Rock!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked.
He knew that Naruto would not mention Konohagakure's Hokage Rock in such a serious tone for no reason.
What's going on?
What does Naruto know?
"The fourth face from left to right on Hokage Rock, I think... Third Hokage should know best. He is the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure Village, Kakashi's teacher, Jiraiya's disciple, the husband of the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the creator of the Rasengan Ninjutsu."
Every time Naruto mentioned a title of Namikaze Minato,
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face changed a bit.
'Damn...' Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that the situation was very bad, Naruto seemed to know something. But why did Naruto mention Jiraiya, how did he know about Jiraiya?
"He is also my father, Uzumaki Naruto!"
"He is my biological father!!"
It's hard to imagine that a seven-year-old child could speak such resounding words.
After Naruto's words fell.
The crowd gathered in front of the tower gate was in an uproar.
Here, the Genin from various villages participating in the Chunin Exam, the examiners of the second round of the exam, the group of ninjas brought by Sarutobi Hiruzen... The number of these people added up to hundreds.
Naruto was exposing a secret that Konohagakure Village had hidden for many years directly in front of everyone.
His identity as the "son of the Fourth Hokage"...
Indeed, it was Konohagakure's top secret.
It was also Sarutobi Hiruzen who personally ordered not to reveal Naruto's identity and hid Naruto's life story.
On the scene, only Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Sasuke, Haku, and Naruto himself did not have much emotional fluctuation.
Because they all knew about this.
But it was different for other people.
"The... Fourth... The Fourth Hokage is Naruto's father?" Inuzuka Hana's loud voice was the first to ring out, filled with shock. The shocking news made it hard for her to close her mouth: "No, that's not right! Isn't the Fourth Hokage-sama's surname Namikaze? Naruto... his surname is Uzumaki, isn't it?"
Beside her, Uchiha Izumi explained to her best friend: "Hana, Naruto's mother is named Uzumaki Kushina."
Inuzuka Hana: "!!!"
Uzumaki Kushina.
Uzumaki Naruto.
Namikaze Minato.
So, Uzumaki Naruto took his mother's surname? Right, it seems that only by taking his mother's surname, many people wouldn't know that he is the son of the Fourth Hokage?
After all, if a blond child had the surname Namikaze, many people would associate him with the Fourth Hokage, right?
Kurenai is just a special Jonin, and she only became a special Jonin not long ago. She doesn't have the qualifications or authority to access so many secrets. She only knew that Naruto is a Jinchuriki.
It wasn't until today, until now... that Kurenai found out that Uzumaki Naruto was hiding such an identity!
Kurenai was also very shocked.
Is this real?
Or is it fake?
Kurenai secretly glanced at the Hokage-sama who had fallen into a deathly silence. She could see the indescribable expression on Hokage-sama's face.
Kurenai took a deep breath in her heart. From Hokage-sama's expression, she could guess that this was absolutely true.
Uzumaki Naruto really is the son of the Fourth Hokage!
"What? This guy is the son of Hokage?" An Amegakure Ninja Genin, who was tied up like a dumpling, widened his eyes: "Didn't this guy claim to be a ninja from Kusagakure Village? Damn it, what is Konohagakure doing? You guys wouldn't be trying to kill us under the guise of the Chunin Exam, would you?"
In the eyes of these foreign village ninjas, since Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, then he is a person from the Konohagakure.
Well!
So from the beginning to the end, it was Konohagakure who was playing tricks. They saw that many Konohagakure Genin were also caught, and they thought that this matter had nothing to do with Konohagakure, and even more so that Naruto had nothing to do with Konohagakure.
Although they had noticed before that the people of Konohagakure village seemed to know this Uzumaki Naruto, it couldn't prove that they were related.
Now.
It's the solid proof of their relationship.
"Damn it... You despicable and shameless Konohagakure ninjas!" The Amegakure Genin, who was shouting suddenly turned his head and stared at a Konohagakure Genin behind him, gritting his teeth and saying: "You guys are really good at pretending! Even now, you guys are still putting on this innocent expression!"
Konohagakure Genin: "....."
In fact.
These Konohagakure Genin who participated in the Chunin Exam, like other foreign village ninjas, all showed a bewildered expression.
This expression is not pretended.
They are indeed bewildered.
"Uzumaki Naruto", they naturally know him, because he is the "demon fox" of Konohagakure village, an existence that is isolated by the whole village. Many adults are saying that the "demon fox" represents misfortune. Some even say... Uzumaki Naruto is the incarnation of the terrifying demon fox from the Nine-Tails chaos a few years ago!
Such rumors have been circulating in Konohagakure Village for several years, and the gradual demonization of the "Nine-Tails" rumors has also affected their perception and views of "Uzumaki Naruto".
Although they have not seen Naruto transform into any Nine-Tails with their own eyes.
They have not seen Naruto bring disaster with their own eyes either.
But under the influence of subtle changes, they still keep their distance from Naruto.
Some even bluntly say the two words "Demon Fox".
They verbally attack Naruto in front of him.
Showing the malice of human nature.
And now.....
They are told that the infamous "Konohagakure Nine-Tails" is actually the son of the Fourth Hokage?
Oh my god!
Such heavy news hit their minds like a thunderbolt from the sky, making the group of Genin in Konohagakure Village forget their situation. They all have a dumbfounded and bewildered expression.
You know, the Fourth Hokage died just a few years ago. Some older Genin have even seen what the Fourth Hokage looked like when he was alive.
The psychological impact on them now is very great.
Their stereotyped views of Naruto over the years are gradually collapsing.
Many people are in a state of brain crash.
That is to say.
Some of them have been calling the son of the Fourth Hokage "Nine-Tails"? But why was there no news about this in the village before?
"Chojuro, do you see what's going on?" On the other side, a Kirigakure ninja next to Chojuro couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chojuro whispered quietly, "I'm not sure, but it can be seen... that Uzumaki Naruto and the Hokage of Konohagakure Village are not getting along well.
"If there is going to be a conflict later, we'd better stand on Uzumaki Naruto's side. Even if it means risking our lives."
Although Chojuro is not old, as a prodigy of Kirigakure Village, his thinking is more mature in all aspects.
He is very clear.
Kirigakure Village now desperately needs to rely on the Whitebeard Pirates, and Uzumaki Naruto is Whitebeard's son.
Under such circumstances... if they don't stand on Uzumaki Naruto's side, whose side should they stand on?
Even for the future of Kirigakure, to show the loyalty of Kirigakure Village to the Whitebeard Pirates, they have to risk their lives to stand on Naruto's side when necessary.
At the same time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage of Konohagakure, has been silent for more than half a minute. He listened to the whispers around him, and also listened to some loud shouts from the Genin of the foreign village.
His mood is unprecedentedly bad.
This degree of badness is no less than when he learned that Whitebeard was going to take Naruto away from the village.
"Naruto... who told you these things? Was it Kakashi?" Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but ask.
"Is that important?" Naruto retorted Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Naruto was a bit disappointed. When he said this, the Third Hokage in front of him didn't show any regret, but instead asked him this question.
These three words left Sarutobi Hiruzen speechless.
This is very important to Sarutobi Hiruzen, because it means that someone deliberately made Naruto an unstable factor, someone deliberately revealed Naruto's life story in an attempt to arouse Naruto's resentment towards the village and the Hokage.
The actions of this person can simply be described as a traitor to Konohagakure.
If he knew who it was, he would have to deal with this person despite all the opinions of the public.
This person has already threatened Konohagakure.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to explain something, Naruto interrupted him directly.
"Third Hokage, do you know what I'm called in the village? You must know, you knew from the beginning, even, who was the first to spread the word 'demon fox', you might know, right?"
"As the son of the Fourth Hokage, the hero's successor, can't you issue an order to completely shatter this rumor? If that's not enough, isn't the identity of the Jinchuriki enough for you to stop people from ostracizing me?"
Naruto, without any hesitation, said that he is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
A single sentence caused many foreign village Genin to change their faces.
Nine tails?
Tailed beast?
The expressions of a group of Konohagakure ninjas also changed.
"Aren't you afraid that I will harbor resentment during the process of being ostracized and bullied by the villagers, and eventually cause the Nine-Tails chaos again?" Naruto paused, and continued: "I just want to ask, why as the 'Grandpa Hokage', you never appear early or late, but appeared when I was most desperate."
"I remember, you also let me affectionately call you 'Grandpa Hokage', at that time you naturally became my only ray of light, because you are the only person in the village who treats me the best."
"But now, I start to think... why does the person who treats me the best allowed me to be ostracized? Allowed me to be bullied by the village? Why let a child bear all this?"
"I asked Pops, Shisui, and Kisame."
"The answer they gave me is... The Third Hokage wanted to establish a bond with me in this way, so that he could control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with the bond between Hokage and Jinchuriki, the Hokage is not a qualified guardian at all."
"Third Hokage, my family members... did they guess right?"
Naruto said all his life experiences, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's incompetence, all out loud in public.
As a pirate, Naruto can't hide anything in his heart.
He says whatever he wants to say.
He doesn't give Hokage any face.
And he doesn't think about it at all.
He's not afraid of offending anyone.
"Naruto... how can you see 'Grandpa Hokage' like this?" Sarutobi Hiruzen found that Naruto's emotions were not quite right.
The words Naruto said almost made his lungs explode.
This means that the bond he had built up with Naruto was completely severed!
And.
The severed bond seems to have no chance of being repaired.
No!
It seems there is a chance, if he didn't say so much at the beginning, didn't ask that fatal question, maybe there really is a chance to remedy, but he didn't do it.
"Naruto, there is a reason why I did this." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath: "You... you are indeed Minato's son, and your mother is indeed the previous Jinchuriki."
"They... are indeed the heroes of Konohagakure village, they all sacrificed for Konohagakure, you are indeed the orphan of a hero."
"But I did all this to protect you."
"I'm doing all this for your own good! Naruto!"
"Tsk... that words sound better than anything else's." the one who suddenly interjecting was a Kirigakure Genin: "I think I understand what's going on, so this is how Konohagakure village treats the son of a hero, and they even has the audacity to say... I'm doing all this for your own good."
Kirigakure Genin pursed his lips, because, these Kirigakure Ninjas, all unconditionally stand on Naruto's side.
With the backing of the Whitebeard Pirates.
They even dared to confront the Hokage.
"Naruto-sama, to be honest. In our Kirigakure Village, even in the darkest era of the Blood Mist, the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki in our village could become the Fourth Mizukage. At least, when the Fourth Mizukage first took office, the people in the village respected him very much."
A Genin from Kirigakure scorned, "On the contrary, it's the Hokage of this Konohagakure Village, who has used all means to control the Jinchuriki, using such despicable and shameless methods on such a young child."
"Hey hey! What's the difference between this and brainwashing a child?"
This sharp criticism made Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead twitch.
A little kid from Kirigakure Village actually dared to talk to him, the Hokage?
Where did this little kid from Kirigakure Village get the courage?!
Sarutobi Hiruzen forced himself to ignore these little devils from Kirigakure Village: "Naruto, I really mean well for you. Your parents' identities are not simple, they have offended too many people in the ninja world, and half of your life story exposed will bring about fatal disaster!"
"Moreover, 'Jinchuriki'... is as sensitive as your life story, too many ninja villages want to seize a Tailed Beast by force." Sarutobi Hiruzen pleaded earnestly, "I..."
"Hokage-sama, surely Konohagakure can't even protect a child?" Uchiha Izumi interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Konohagakure can't even protect the Jinchuriki?"
Uchiha Izumi suddenly realized, "Oh right, Konohagakure is capable of doing such a humiliating thing as letting the Hyuga clan die for peace. In this case, what you said makes sense."
Uchiha Izumi's tone was a bit sarcastic.
The Hyuga clan died for peace?
What is this?!
A group of Genin from foreign villages all curiously pricked up their ears, even the ninjas behind Sarutobi Hiruzen from Konohagakure Village, were not very familiar with this matter, because this was a secret of the Hyuga clan.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "....."
Uchiha Izumi didn't say as much as Naruto, but a few short sentences.
but also made him a bit breathless.
Wait a minute!
That's right!
How did the people of the Uchiha clan know the specifics?
"Third Hokage, your 'for your own good' doesn't hold credibility." Naruto said calmly, "Pops is also doing for my good, but if anyone dares to call me a demon fox in front of Pops, Pops will kill that person with one slash. Third Hokage, can your 'for your own good' go to that extent?"
"Have you ever thought about how fragile a child's heart when he experiences such ostracized in his entire life?"
"It's full of holes." Sasuke quietly reminded Naruto.
".....Full of holes?" Naruto said without changing his face, "You've done a great job!"
"For the sake of what you say"
Naruto showed a brilliant smile, "I'm really grateful to you! So grateful that I can't wait to give you a few punches!"
But this smile, in the eyes of some ninjas with strong empathy, instead evoked a sour feeling in their hearts.
Especially the ninjas of Konohagakure Village.
No one knows better than the ninjas of Konohagakure what Naruto has been through.
A child who has suffered so much can still smile.
He is even willing to return to the Nnja Academu of Konohagakure Village.
He even wants to become the Hokage of Konohagakure.
Ah, this.....
Did Hokage-sama go a bit too far back then?
This is just a child!
And...
This is the son of the Fourth Hokage!
Naruto took a few steps forward, standing within arm's reach of Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was then that Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that Naruto had grown so tall, as tall as an eleven or twelve-year-old child at just seven.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know how to justify his actions, because he did indeed harbor the intention of deliberately establishing a bond.
"Naruto, I... I am ultimately the Hokage of Konohagakure. The kage of a village must consider the overall situation. Naruto, isn't your goal also to become Hokage? You should understand my difficulties, I am also training you to become Hokage!"
"In my vision, by the day you grow up, by the day you are in your thirties or forties... you have grown into a qualified Hokage candidate, by then, I will personally pass on the position of Konohagakure Hokage..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had just said this.
Suddenly, he felt a warning in his heart and keenly noticed that Naruto actually wanted to do it!
Naruto's fist was already swung up.
He just wanted to dodge, but in a flash, another idea came up: maybe he could try a sympathy strategy?
As long as Naruto believes that this Hokage truly cares for him.
As long as the image of the noble and kind Hokage of Konohagakure does not collapse.
What's wrong with taking a punch?
It's just a child's punch.
With this thought.
Sarutobi Hiruzen decided not to dodge this punch, nor to block this punch, he had already tightened the muscles on his face, even if this punch broke his mouth, it didn't matter.
If his mouth wasn't broken by Naruto's punch, he decided to quietly bite his mouth, it would be best if he could bleed a little.
Let Naruto feel sorry for his Grandpa Hokage.
Let Naruto know that he "misunderstood himself.
To remedy the bond between the two parties.
After all, it's just a child.
In the next instant, Naruto's raised arm and swung out fist came into intimate contact with Sarutobi Hiruzen's right face, the power that erupted in that instant made Sarutobi Hiruzen's cheek visibly sink in.
Bang bang bang bang.....
Four teeth were directly blown away, two of which were just recently planted not long ago.
"Puff!!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen spat out a mouthful of blood, the heavy blow to his face made his mind go blank for a moment.
Naruto's strength was beyond his imagination!
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to be blown backwards, Naruto grabbed his hand and swung another punch hard.
Bang!!!
This punch hit Sarutobi Hiruzen's left face, the left face also sank in like the right face, and several more teeth were blown away, the whole jaw was dislocated and drooping.
It looked very symmetrical.
"Uzumaki Naruto! Stop!!!"
The group of Konohagakure ninjas and examiners behind him were shocked.
But Naruto didn't stop.
Before being stopped, Naruto threw a heavy punch, hitting Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose, and shattered the bridge of his nose on the spot.
He also let go of his hand.
The force of this punch directly blew Sarutobi Hiruzen away.
The Konohagakure ninjas who originally wanted to rush up to stop Naruto, after seeing this, they could only hurry back to catch Hokage-sama.
"Hokage, Hokage, Hokage....."
"Bullshit Hokage!"
Naruto's voice resounded: "If I want to become the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure village, I don't need you to pass on the position to me!"
"Perhaps... I don't have the strength to become Hokage yet. But, when I grow up one day, I will take the position of Hokage with my own hands, I don't need you to give me that position."
"When that day comes..."
"I will kick your ass down!"
What Naruto meant by these words was... I'm not strong yet, but when I am strong enough, things will change!
But, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't hear anymore.
He had never thought that a child's fist could be so fierce, he always felt like he had been punched three times by Might Guy.
His eyes were seeing stars at this moment.
His eardrums were buzzing.
His mind was groggy.
