Chapter 649 A Stimulating Background

"Flying Thunder God? No way, Gigo, how could I... Wait! Father!?"

Naruto stared at Giggs in astonishment. The Book of Seals described the Flying Thunder God Technique as being created by the Second Hokage, improved by the Fourth Hokage, and used to earn the renowned title of the Yellow Flash that resounded throughout the ninja world.

Because this technique is extremely difficult to master, only the second and fourth generations have been able to use it proficiently to this day.

The Second Hokage obviously couldn't be his father, given the age difference. That leaves only the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Naruto swallowed hard and muttered to himself.

"Brother Jig, are you kidding me? Do you think my father is the Fourth Hokage?"

Giger nodded calmly and said in a low voice,

"Who else could it be but him? Who do you think you inherited that yellow spiky hair from?"

"Then, why is my surname 'Whirlpool' instead of 'wave wind'?"

“Uzumaki is your mother’s surname. Your mother is Kushina Uzumaki, the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The Uzumaki clan was once a large clan like the Uchiha clan, but its fate was the same as the Uchiha clan. Because of their powerful talents, they were not tolerated by the ninja world, and in the end, only a few people remained. However, the Uzumaki clan still has a lot of connections with the Konoha leadership. It is a prestigious clan after all. Your father was a son-in-law who married into the family.”

"Kushina Uzumaki... I've never heard of that name before..."

"If your father hadn't been the Hokage, probably no one in Konoha would even mention his name now."

"So, Brother Giger, how did you know all this?"

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. If you're still not sure, then ask the Nine-Tailed Fox inside you. It witnessed your birth."

"No need, I trust Brother Jig..."

This news was so sudden to Naruto, who had never known who his parents were, that his brain went blank for a moment, and even the clones in the room were all stunned.

Naruto stood there, stunned, muttering to himself.

"How is that possible? My father is the Fourth Hokage? Why has no one ever told me that?"

Giger understood Naruto's feelings and said softly,

"Your father had many enemies in the past, and the Konoha leadership believes that this is to protect you."

He didn't comment on this approach; it's up to Naruto to decide how to view it.

Naruto remained silent for a long time after hearing this, until the clone in the room disappeared with a series of thuds. He could no longer hold back, and tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes as he cried out.

"But the Fourth Hokage was clearly a great hero who subdued the Nine-Tailed Fox and protected the village! I am... I am clearly the child of a hero! Why have I been treated with such coldness all these years?! I don't want this kind of protection!"

Naruto collapsed to his knees with a thud, his hands bracing against the floor, tears streaming down his face, his heart filled with endless grievances.

Scenes from his childhood in the village flashed through his mind: being inexplicably beaten and scolded, eating expired food, and being ostracized by his peers...

It turns out he never did anything wrong, and the happy lives his peers enjoy now were bought with his father's life.

Why?

Why is it that he, the son of a hero, not only doesn't receive the treatment he deserves, but he can't even know the identities of his parents?

Protect?

What a load of bull! Protection!

At the age of twelve, Naruto felt that this kind of protection was utterly disgusting and that the kind and benevolent image of the Third Hokage in his mind was gradually becoming repulsive.

Under intense emotional turmoil, the newly re-established sealing space within Naruto's body began to violently oscillate once more. Kurama remained remarkably calm about this; it hadn't managed to break through the seal even with such a good opportunity earlier, so it had no hope this time either, knowing it would all be for nothing in the end.

However, the turbulence in the sealed space still resonated with Naruto's chakra. Outside, Naruto's body was gradually covered by a layer of red chakra, and two flowing, semi-transparent tails appeared behind him.

He was actually stimulated to unleash his two-tailed form.

Two-Tails Naruto still had some prestige at this time, but in front of Gigo, he was no different from a pet.

Giger crossed his arms, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at Naruto, who was panting on the ground, and said...

Do you need me to help you calm down?

As soon as he finished speaking, Conqueror's Haki slowly spread from Giger's body. Naruto, who was in a fit of rage, felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water as soon as he sensed the Conqueror's Haki. The speed at which the chakra cloak disappeared was even faster than the speed at which he calmed down.

In the blink of an eye, Naruto returned to normal.

The moment Naruto activated his Tailed Beast form for the first time, his chakra cloak dissipated, and he collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

Giger crouched down, poked Naruto's golden spiky hair with his finger, and said lazily,

"Hey, stop slacking off! Get up and learn the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Naruto struggled to lift his head and said weakly,

"Brother Jig, I really have absolutely no strength left..."

Giger tilted his head, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said...

"is it?"

As he spoke, Giggs slid his finger, which was pointing at Naruto's head, down to the back of his neck, and his scarlet fingertip suddenly pierced through, drawing in a surge of blood.

Naruto felt a jolt throughout his body, and then, as if injected with adrenaline, he sprang up from the ground with a roar.

With the Nine-Tails' chakra fading, the energy that had been drained from Naruto has now been completely replenished, and Naruto feels bursting with energy.

Jig pulled the Book of Seals, which had been blown into the corner by chakra, over and casually tossed it to Naruto.

"Hurry up and learn it. Your idea just now was a bit dangerous. You might have to use this trick to escape after I'm gone."

Naruto, who was in a state of excitement, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. Realizing what was happening, he quickly grabbed Gigi's sleeve and said urgently,

"Are you leaving, Brother Jig?"

Giger flicked Naruto's forehead and laughed.

"What? You're treating me like your babysitter? I don't want to stay with a blond kid all the time."

In a moment of impulsiveness, Naruto uttered a startling statement.

"Brother Jige, I have a seduction technique..."

Bang!

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Gigo slapped him away. Watching Naruto slowly slide down the wall, Gigo said with a black line on his forehead...

"You should save that trick for when you use it on Sasuke!"
