Chapter 42 This is his test

Kakashi ignored Naruto and stared at Ryosuke Uchiha.

Ryousuke didn't want to fall out with Kakashi here, so he smiled and said to Naruto.

"You go back first. As for your identity, you will know it later."

Naruto finally chose to go back. Although he wanted to know, he didn't want to cause trouble to Ryosuke if someone stopped him.

After Naruto left, Kakashi said slowly.

"I hope you won't come into contact with the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki again."

If he hadn't stopped him, Naruto would have almost known his identity.

If Naruto knew his identity, he might not be able to keep it secret. If it were leaked, it might be very dangerous.

Ryosuke asked rhetorically.

"why?"

Kakashi said calmly.

"I'm afraid it's not good for the Uchiha clan to be close to the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

Ryosuke said helplessly.

"Do you think the Nine-Tails is controlled by our Uchiha clan?"

"Now that you also have the three Magatama Sharingan, you should control the tailed beast and show it to me."

The ANBU ninjas nearby all looked at Kakashi. Does Captain Kakashi also have such a powerful power?

Kakashi was a little surprised that the other party knew his identity.

However, now is not the time to worry about this.

His left eye was given to him by Uchiha Obito.

But even with the three Magatama Sharingan, it is actually impossible to control tailed beasts.

Maybe the Nine-Tails Rebellion was not caused by the Uchiha clan.

But that's not his role now.

He could only explain.

"The Third Hokage does not want to see anyone from the Uchiha clan appearing next to the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

Ryosuke did not back down because the other party moved out of Hokage's identity, but continued to question.

"Is this how the Third Hokage ordered you to protect the Fourth Son? The villagers saved by the Fourth actually despised and ostracized the Fourth Son. Is this how you protect the Fourth Son?"

"If I remember correctly, you are also a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, right?"

"Are you just watching all this?"

Kakashi felt a little headache. The other party not only knew that Naruto was a Kyuubi, but also knew about his life experience.

But Kakashi has experienced darkness since he was a child, and thinks that Naruto can survive even if he experiences this kind of darkness.

he explained.

"Of course I am protecting him from the side and will not let him be threatened in any way. At the same time, the Third Hokage has banned the villagers from talking about the Kyuubi."

Ryousuke suddenly felt speechless. Such protection only protected Naruto's life, but not his dignity.

"Why not reveal his identity? He doesn't deserve this."

"After announcing Naruto's identity, no matter how ignorant these villagers are, they probably won't treat a hero's son like this."

"Why was the identity of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki leaked? Now the villagers basically know that he is the Jinchuuriki, the incarnation of the demon fox, so spies from other villages should be able to get Naruto's identity if they come to Konoha to inquire about it. Bar."

"What are the Third Hokage and your ANBU doing? Is there a traitor in your ANBU?"

"Let your Third Hokage handle it properly, and don't let the blood of the Konoha heroes be shed in vain."

After saying that, Ryousuke returned to his clan alone.

He had said enough, and his purpose was naturally not to want Naruto to have a miserable childhood.

If the top management of Konoha still treats Naruto like this, then he will personally take action to give Naruto a good childhood.

Kakashi was a little stunned when he heard Ryousuke's words.

Don't let the blood of Konoha's heroes be shed in vain.

His father was once a hero of Konoha, but during a mission, he was slandered by the villagers for giving up the mission to save his companions, and finally committed suicide due to overwhelm.

Maybe Naruto really shouldn't be allowed to endure such pain.

If he couldn't bear it anymore, he might commit suicide.

In that case, how would he treat his mentor?

And now everyone in the village knows the identity of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. If spies from other villages come over, they can really investigate such information casually.

After changing shifts with other ANBU, other ANBU secretly monitored and protected Naruto.

Kakashi came to the Hokage's office secretly.

"Hokage-sama, I have something important to report."

The Third Hokage, who was sitting in the Hokage's chair, glanced at Kakashi.

"Just tell me if you have anything to do."

Kakashi said respectfully.

"Lord Hokage ordered me to protect the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto, but I found that the surrounding villagers seemed to know the identity of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. I suspected that there was a spy in our ANBU."

"We should find this mole. "

In fact, only a few people on the battlefield at that time knew that the Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails into his son before he died. At the same time, the Third Hokage also issued a hush-hush order, asking them to keep this secret.

The Third Hokage glanced at Kakashi.

The mole you're talking about is me. Do you want me to catch myself?

Of course, Uzumaki Naruto's identity as a demon fox was spread by others, otherwise how could these villagers know such confidential information.

His reasons for doing so were of course. In order to make the villagers hate Uzumaki Naruto, he appeared next to Naruto in an amiable image.

Only in this way can we use the will of fire to brainwash Uzumaki Naruto and make him become a person on his side in the future.

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Kakashi about this purpose.

He said calmly.

"Don't worry, I will do this. Maybe it's not a mole, but someone who made a mistake and leaked the news."

Kakashi heard the Hokage's speculation and felt that it was really possible.

he suggested.

"Since the villagers already know the identity of Naruto's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and he has been ostracized and hated by the villagers, should we announce his identity so that Naruto can grow up smoothly? As the son of the Fourth Hokage, he should Being treated like this.”

How could the Third Hokage be willing to reveal Naruto's identity?

In that case, his plan would be completely ruined, and he would not forget to give up Naruto, the nine-tailed Jinchuuriki, so easily.

With this chess piece, not only will his position as Hokage become more stable.

At the same time, even if he abdicates in the future, with the support of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, it is very likely that the Sarutobi clan will be able to have another Hokage.

So he had to find a way to fool him.

"Kakashi, you are thinking too one-sided. Although it was a mistake that allowed the villagers to know the identity of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, if the identity of the fourth son of the Fourth Hokage is leaked, those who once had a grudge against the Fourth Hokage will The ninja will probably take action against him."

"You're thinking too superficially."

Kakashi thought about it and felt that what the Third Hokage said made sense.

After all, the Fourth Hokage had killed many ninjas from enemy villages. If his identity was leaked, he might be retaliated against.

"The Third Hokage is wise."

"It's just that Naruto is being treated unfairly now, what should he do?"

The Third Hokage was secretly happy that he had fooled Kakashi, so he would fool him again.

"Kakashi, you are still too shallow. You must know that Naruto is now the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. He is the great fighting force of the village in the future. His loyalty must be guaranteed."

"Even if you are not understood and treated unfairly by the villagers, you must remain loyal to the village."

"This is a test for him."

"Do you understand it?"

Kakashi could only nod when he heard this explanation from the Hokage.

In fact, he didn't quite understand.

Maybe what Hokage-sama said is right, but I always feel that something is a little wrong.
