There were only a few in the room who knew why this was exactly going on. Those few were Minato, Jiraiya, Kushina, Kakashi, and Obito. Though, it should be noted that Obito looked like he really didn't want to be here at the moment.
While Obito was quite enthusiastic that all three of his genin were promoted, he didn't see why his sensei had to take this kind of approach when dealing with Naruto. It was clear that it was not working. Not to mention the fact that the eldest male Uchiha didn't give a damn about any of Jiraiya's prophecies.
He just couldn't understand why Jiraiya and the Uzumaki-Namikaze family put so much faith in these kinds of things.
The previous prophecy that the toads told Jiraiya was that Minato would be the one to bring peace to the Elemental Nations and cure the shinobi world of war and hatred...It was easy to tell how that exactly worked out, seeing as Minato had not made a single step forward in creating world peace and the fact that the village that he led suffered an invasion.
Obito had believed in Jiraiya's words and the prophecies of toads for a time when he was still a genin. But after experiencing the horrors of war first hand, he realized that such beliefs were foolish dreams and nothing more than that.
Prophecies were just that, prophecies. Some superstition passed down by some senile old toad. Why in Kami's name would anybody take something like that seriously. Yet here were some of the most prominent shinobi in Konoha along with three of the Hokage's children, sitting here about to waste a fair amount of time trying to force a boy, who clearly didn't care about such things either, to live his life accordingly to some words spoken by a glorified frog with one foot already in the grave.
The one-eyed man sighed as Minato began to speak once more.
"Naruto, this is serious, treat it as such." Those were nothing short of orders from the Hokage. "I remember having to have this same conversation with you just after the preliminary rounds of the chunin exams, just over a month ago. You've been keeping secrets for far too long Naruto. Secrets are what get people killed in this world. While your recent performance in the chunin exams was remarkable, it has brought your abilities into question. These questions need to be answered, it is of the utmost importance."
Naruto could only stare on incredulously at the man sitting behind the desk. Was he really giving him a lecture about secrets? Was this some kind of joke?
"My secrets huh?...I'm sure you have secrets as well don't you Hokage-sama. But why is it that my secrets are always the ones brought into question and not yours?" Naruto proposed to the Hokage.
"You are not here for a philosophical debate, Naruto, you will answer my questions whether you like it or not. The world could very well be at stake here!" Minato seemed to be losing his patience as his voice started to rise at the end.
Naruto was completely lost now. Had the man gone insane from the loss of his arm? "...What does me having some skill in Katon jutsu have to do with the world?"
Minato noticed his slip up and sighed as he calmed himself down and retook his seat. This was a matter that he didn't want to discuss with him until he knew for sure that it was talking about Naruto, but it seems as if he didn't have a choice at the moment. He had told all of his children besides Naruto on their birthday just after they started the academy, but nothing had come of it so far. He supposed telling Naruto about it might actually make him realize just how important of a role he'll possibly play in bringing peace to the world.
"Several years ago, the toads came to Jiraiya with a prophecy, after which, he relayed it to me. What the prophecy said was, 'A child born from great power but with memories of old shall pave the way toward a new era of peace. Whether they walk the path of light or is forced into the darkness shall determine what the future will hold. Their predecessor has already burned the path for them, but it shall be their will of fire that determines whether they will walk it or forge their own.' We had originally believed that it was speaking of Natsuki, Narumi, or Nawaki. But due to the events that have occurred recently, we now believe that the prophecy spoke of you." Minato relayed to Naruto with absolute seriousness.
Peace had always been something that Minato dreamed of. He had been born during the era of the Second Great Shinobi War and had experienced more than he would ever wish his students to see. Sadly that wish never came true as they were sent off to war when they were deemed ready. Cruel reality showed its ugly head, as it was his genin team that was ripped apart during the Third Great Shinobi War. One of his student was killed, another went missing for years, and the last was the one who had killed the first. War knew no bounds. War had no rules. War was the result of the evil and hatred of man.
He would do whatever it took to bring peace to this world. And by anything...he meant anything.
