Chapter 14: Speak Up for the Fox Demon

There were also people who didn't realize Naruto's identity as a Jinchūriki.

"Be a bullshit savior. If I were Uzumaki Naruto, once I had the strength, I would definitely not care about the lives of those villagers in Konoha!"

"If I were to experience the same thing, I would definitely use illusion to make them feel the pain I once went through!"

"Naruto Uzumaki, who grew up in such an environment, will actually save the ninja world in the future?"

"The Leaf Village doesn't deserve to have the savior of the Ninja World! How dare a group of adults treat a child like this?"

It is difficult to understand how it feels to be treated like that unless you experience it yourself.

Everyone in the ninja world was honored to receive a Naruto Childhood Experience Card.

It made many sentimental people shed tears on the spot.

"Yo~ I believe in him. He will definitely overcome difficulties in the future and gain recognition from the villagers and the tailed beasts, just like I conquered you with my rap, Hachi~"

In the sealed space, the eight-tailed cow demon blew out two puffs of hot air from its nostrils.

"Bi, if you keep talking in that annoying tone, I'll beat you up!"

the other side

Yumu Ren wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve.

"You're having a worse life than I am, Naruto."

Sunagakure

"Someone like me... Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha? If I kill you..."

Before Gaara could finish his words, he heard a certain raccoon cat screaming shamelessly in the sealed space.

"Kurouma! You're a stinky fox who only knows how to bully children!"

The sound was so sharp that Gaara covered his ears in pain again.

Temari and Kankuro wiped their tears at the same time and looked at each other.

"So this is how a Jinchūriki has to be treated? I experienced it myself today."

Kankuro replied dumbly, "I don't know either. No wonder Gaara killed his fellow villagers."

Temari sniffed, looked out the window, and murmured, "Gaara, have you ever experienced these things?"

Kankuro said with determination, "Even if it means going against my father's orders, I will rescue Gaara from his suffering!"

Pure Land

Hashirama frowned when he saw what happened to Naruto.

He didn't understand.

"Why would everyone in the village treat a child like this? Even if he's a Jinchūriki, isn't he still a family member of the village?"

Konoha

Many Konoha villagers still don't quite understand certain things.

"Is this video speaking for that little fox demon? It makes us look so hateful! Although this little fox demon looks pitiful, who can speak for my child who died in the hands of the little fox demon? As long as you give my child back to me, I can stop hating that little fox demon!"

"My husband and child also died at the hands of the demon fox. Can't I hate that demon fox? Why?"

"Yes! We are also victims! But who will speak for us? Just because that demon fox will save the ninja world in the future, does that make us villains if we treat him like that?"

"I have no relatives who died at the hands of the demon fox, but an old lady who lived not far from my home, her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all died at the hands of the demon fox. Every day she sat alone at the door of her house. Looking at her, it was much more heartbreaking than looking at the demon fox!"

"Humph! There's nothing to be pitied about a demon fox!"

Of course, there are also many villagers who have no grudges against the fox demon. When they put themselves in Naruto’s perspective, they think that Naruto is indeed very pitiful.

But they dared not show it for fear of being rejected by other villagers.

Perhaps, next time they see Naruto being excluded and isolated by the villagers, they will still choose to stand by and watch.

In any case, their incomparably outstanding Fourth Hokage was also killed by the demon fox.

It's hard to forgive!

Uchiha clan land

Sasuke clutched his chest, his eyes reddening.

"I was upset when I first saw this guy, but why do I feel so sad when I see what happened to him?"

Maybe their situations are very similar?

Because he is an Uchiha and Naruto is a demon fox, the villagers would reject and hate them when they see them.

But, is it really true that he and this guy just share the same feelings?

sealed space

Nine-Tailed Fox looked at the sad face of the little orange-haired boy after his painful memories were brought back, and it sneered.

It would like to see how such a stupid kid like this can save the ninja world in the future.

Somewhere in the ninja world

"Looks like there's no need to look for the child of prophecy. It's Naruto, right?"

Jiraiya had mixed feelings.

"What Yahiko said is indeed right. If people are not allowed to feel the pain they have suffered, people will never understand each other."

This is what Yahiko loudly refuted when he was persuading Yahiko and the other two to let go of their hatred.

Sometimes, it is because people understand this pain that they are more tolerant of others.

Jiraiya actually had complicated feelings about Naruto's experience.

In all these years, he has been searching for the child of prophecy in the ninja world and has never gone back to look after Naruto.

Therefore, he didn't have the face to blame others for not taking good care of Naruto.

He was very busy, busy looking for the child of prophecy. This was a major matter concerning the entire ninja world and could not be taken lightly.

As the Kage of a village, his teacher is also very busy and even pays attention to more things than most people. There is no reason for him to pay attention to everything about Naruto.

"It seems that Naruto's identity as a Jinchuriki can no longer be concealed..."

Jiraiya turned his body in a different direction.

He wants to go back to Konoha.

Protect Naruto, protect the village.

With the Uchiha clan untrustworthy, the village is far too weak.

Who knows if the mysterious masked man from six years ago will release the Nine-Tailed Fox again to destroy the village?

……

Hokage's Office

Mitomon En rubbed his brows with a headache: "It's not good. I'm afraid that everyone in the ninja world will guess Naruto's identity as a Jinchuriki."

Utane Koharu also said seriously: "Although Naruto is the savior of the ninja world, there is no guarantee that there won't be dark-hearted guys sneaking into Konoha to attack Naruto, so we have to be on guard. The title clearly states that Uzumaki Naruto will save the entire ninja world in the future, and Konoha must protect him."

Danzo narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Uzumaki Kushina was once abducted by the Anbu of Kumogakure. There was also the Hyuga incident two years ago. It is definitely a very difficult thing for the village to be on guard all the time. It is better to hand Uzumaki Naruto over to the Root for protection, so..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand to interrupt Danzo from continuing what he was about to say.

"Don't even think about it. I will increase the number of ANBU personnel to protect Naruto."

Danzo was interrupted in the middle of his words, and then he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's unquestionable tone, and his face looked a little ugly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Nara Shikaku and said hesitantly: "The live broadcast may expose Naruto's identity as the son of a hero. I want to make Naruto's identity public now. Shikaku, what do you think of this matter..."

Even if the Anbu ninjas who protected Naruto would report to him, they would not report to him every detail of Naruto's daily experiences. Even so, he knew that Naruto had been excluded and isolated by the villagers.

But I didn't expect it to be so serious.

Hearing, seeing and putting yourself in Naruto's shoes are all different feelings.
