Chapter 21 021. The cruel truth

Konoha Hospital, in the ward.

After waking up from a coma, Naruto found himself lying on a hospital bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he decided to go berserk, he was even prepared to wake up and face Danzo Shimura, but this was obviously an overthinking on his part. With the third generation old man alive, Danzo could not get involved in the growth of the Jinchuuriki and could only shrink back. In the shadows.

However, I'm afraid it also has something to do with my own performance. Although I lost control and ran rampant, I didn't harm the villagers.

This is obviously a plus in the eyes of the third generation old man. After all, it is not easy to find a new Jinchuuriki.

Finding a comfortable position, he climbed up and sat down. Naruto stretched out his injured arm. Thanks to the Uzumaki's physique, the wound on it had healed itself, leaving only a shallow scar, which was not ugly.

This incident serves as a reminder to myself that even in the Konoha Ninja Village, I still cannot take it lightly.

No one knows whether a lunatic like Tianfeng will appear again.

Naruto, who was idle and bored, put his hands on the quilt and looked at the scenery outside the window while trying to communicate with Kyuubi.

But Kyuubi seemed to be autistic and didn't want to talk to him.

This made Naruto slightly unhappy. He didn't know when he had made Kyuubi unhappy.

At this time, as the door was pushed open, several figures walked into the ward under the leadership of the nurse.

In addition to the third-generation old man who would definitely come to visit him, Hinata, Shikamaru and Choji also came with fruits, and following them was a white-haired young man whose face could not be seen clearly.

Naruto thought for a moment and guessed the identity of the white-haired young man.

Isn't this Konoha's fifty-fifty, a pornographic book lover, and a famous unit of measurement, Kakashi Jounin?

"Naruto, your friends and I came over to see you."

After a brief greeting, the Third Hokage said to the others: "You guys go out for now. I have something to ask Naruto alone."

Hinata, Shikamaru and others guessed something and left the room temporarily.

After the others left, the Third Hokage looked at Naruto: "Naruto, do you still remember who the person who attacked you is?"

Hearing this, Naruto covered his head, pretending to remember seriously, and then said: "Let me think about it, I was taking a shower at the time, and then a middle-aged uncle broke in and attacked me without any explanation. After that, my memory became a little blurry. …”

"By the way, Grandpa Hokage, you must punish this uncle severely and put him in prison."

The Third Hokage patted Naruto on the shoulder and comforted: "The criminal has received the punishment he deserves, but you should think carefully about what happened next and what you did."

"What have I done?"

Naruto continued to recall, as if he was frightened, showing a painful expression, gasping for air:

"I remember I had a dream. I dreamed that I turned into a demon fox, killed the uncle, and then rushed out. I can't remember what happened after that."

Having said this, Naruto looked up at the Third Hokage with confusion in his eyes:

"Grandpa Hokage, it turns out that I really am a demon fox! What those villagers said is true. Did I really hurt them? But that shouldn't be my power. I don't remember that I am a demon fox."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage sighed, and then said: "You have indeed become a demon fox, but you are not a real demon fox. The real demon fox is sealed in your body, and it is he who controls your mind."

Naruto seemed to have caught straw in the water and said quickly: "Grandpa Hokage, you must have a way to help me. I don't want to be regarded as a demon fox. How about you drive it out?"

The Third Hokage shook his head: "There is nothing I can do about this. What I can do is try my best to cover up your identity and let everyone treat you as a normal person."

"Maybe as time goes by, everyone will be able to accept you."

After saying that, the Third Hokage placed several ninjutsu scrolls on the cabinet next to him and left the ward.

Naruto may not be able to accept the identity of a Jinchuuriki now, but he will get used to it one day. If it weren't for the purpose of checking Naruto's seal and mental condition, he wouldn't have come at this time.

He still had too much time to do.

After the Third Hokage left, others walked into the ward. Their friends Shikamaru and Choji expressed their concern and then left in a hurry.

Kakashi stood at the door, took a deep look at Naruto, then turned around and caught up with the Third Hokage.

After the excitement, only Naruto and Hinata were left in the ward.

After looking at each other, they looked away awkwardly, and no one took the initiative to speak to break the delicate atmosphere.

At this time, Kyuubi's voice sounded at an inappropriate time and said meaningfully:

"Naruto, your acting skills just now were good. You portrayed that confused and painful expression so well. I thought you really believed that you were a demon fox."

Is this a compliment?…

After some slander, Naruto appeared in the sealed space, looked at the Nine-Tails in the cage, and said: "By the way, big fox, the third generation old man just came, why didn't you inform me?"

Kyuubi glanced at Naruto and said angrily:

"After lending you chakra, the Hokage strengthened the seal on you, and my range of perception of the outside world has become smaller and smaller... Besides, why should I remind you?"

The third generation old man still secretly touched me...

Naruto clenched his fists, strengthening the seal was a good thing for ordinary jinchūriki, but not for him.

At this time, in the real world, Hinata came to Naruto with peeled fruit and said cautiously: "Naruto-kun must be hungry, come and eat some fruit."

…

In the corridor of the hospital, the Third Hokage and Kakashi stood together, watching the flow of people entering and leaving the hospital.

Taking out a lighter, the Third Hokage said while smoking: "Kakashi, if you have any questions, just ask them. There are no other outsiders here, so you don't have to hide them in your heart."

Kakashi looked at the Third Hokage and took a deep breath: "Sir, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in the village should be the posthumous son of Minato-sensei."

The Third Hokage exhaled smoke and nodded: "Yes, Naruto is Minato's child. Before Minato died, Minato sealed the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body, making him and Kushina's child the new Jinchuuriki of the village. "

After getting the answer easily, Kakashi fell into silence.

Over the years, he had been performing tasks in the Anbu and had heard rumors of demon foxes, but he had never been able to connect with Mr. Minato's children. He thought that the teacher's children were carefully cared for by the village.

But the reality is somewhat different from what he thought.

"Sandaime-sama, in that case, why don't you take the initiative to explain Naruto's identity?"

The Third Hokage glanced at Kakashi and said, "Minato made a lot of enemies back then. What would they do if they knew Naruto was Minato's child? As for the rumors about the demon fox, I was indeed negligent."

After pondering for a moment, the Third Hokage continued:

"Also, if I tell Naruto his true identity now, I'm worried that he won't be able to accept the huge psychological gap. It's better to continue hiding it and wait until a suitable time to tell him the truth."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Kakashi did not refute the Third Hokage. He felt that this method of handling was not appropriate, but there was really no better way at the moment.

After all, this truth is too cruel for Naruto now.
