Chapter 533: Three Generations of Pain
Mitarashi Anko looked at you and nodded after a moment of silence.
Although she had heard some rumors, she thought that it shouldn't be too much trouble to just buy you some meatballs.
Moreover, saying that you are the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is most likely a deception. What ninja village would make its own Jinchūriki known to everyone on the street?
Even the dumbest village wouldn't do that, after all, Jinchūriki is a very powerful weapon. If the enemy ninja knew the exact whereabouts of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, then even if they couldn't take it away...
Hongdou gave you a cryptic look and walked towards the meatball shop in silence.
As a disciple of Orochimaru, she was also investigated after the Nine-Tails incident.
You waited for a while, and when you got the red bean dumpling handed to you by the female ninja, you smiled happily.
"Thank you, sister. I will definitely be able to smile happily by eating this like you!"
Hongdou suddenly felt that the red bean meatball in her mouth was not tasty anymore.
"Perhaps."
She casually finished her meatballs and was about to leave when you grabbed her hand.
She frowned at you.
"Little devil, what else do you want?"
Being kind at the moment doesn't mean she wants to see you too often.
"It's just that I want to thank you, sister, and sister, this is Maru's money..."
"I don't want that!"
Hongdou rejected you and stalked away.
You looked at Hongdou's back as she left, with a look of loss on your face, but inside...
"The plan works!"
You smiled victoriously!
Because a favorability +1 sign appeared above Hongdou's head.
"Good people have good strategies. For these women who believe in the will of fire, they are still very kind-hearted. They will not watch a kind-hearted child being hurt by themselves. But what if... she really hurts her?"
Your eyes are full of determination.
"It will be unforgettable."
You started to wait for Anko everywhere, but since Mitarai Anko was a ninja, it was difficult for you to find her, but you still kept waiting and tried to pay back the money.
Finally, Mitarashi Anko, who couldn't bear the thought of having to move to another place just because of your waiting, came to your side.
"Little fox demon! Just take the money for the meatballs, right?"
She appeared in front of you angrily, snatched the coin from your hand, and ran away like a flash.
You looked at the change in your pocket and tried to catch up with the other person, but Mitarashi Anko turned her head to look at you, and when she found out that you wanted to say something, she yelled at you angrily.
"Get away! Demon fox!"
You showed a frightened and sad expression, walked aside silently, looked at the change in your hand, and didn't care about the discussions around you.
Until a person appears, and with the appearance of this person, the discussions around you disappear.
"What's wrong, Naruto?"
The Sandaime looked at you with kind eyes, but you saw complexity in his eyes.
You know this is normal. If the third generation was in his prime, he might not do this, but he is old.
His wife died protecting you, leaving him alone.
Although he didn't say it, he must have resentment towards your father in his heart, and...
It’s helpless that the Fourth Hokage died so irresponsibly.
That's right, irresponsible.
This is the judgment you make about the father of this body of yours.
The only person who was worthy of the Yondaime in the battle against the Nine-Tails .
There was only Uzumaki Kushina.
There is no doubt that he died for love.
Since Kushina was going to die, he chose to die with her, and the Sandaime could have helped, but he would never care about his own life at a time like this.
However, Minato Namikaze used a barrier to block everyone and sealed the Nine-Tails into you.
It can be said that he felt sorry for the Uchiha clan who chose to place their hopes on him , and also sorry for his own subordinates who had already pledged their allegiance. He was even more irresponsible towards his son.
Sealing the Nine-Tails in a newborn baby, as the Hokage who had worked with the Third Hokage for a long time, he would definitely not have failed to imagine what the Third Hokage would do.
But he still did it.
The original Naruto wouldn't have any objection, that was his business, but you do, and it's a big one.
But in fact, you don’t have any big objection to becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. After all, Kushina was bound to die at that time, and the only member of the Uzumaki clan was you.
The only choice we can make is fate.
So you don't resent what the third generation did, but if you want to contribute your own strength to this village, then...
Revitalizing the Uzumaki clan wouldn't be considered an excessive thing, right?
"I want to be recognized by someone who doesn't hate me by being a good kid, Third Generation Grandpa, am I doing something wrong?"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
"Naruto, you did nothing wrong. It's very difficult to gain recognition for everything you do, and you're already disliked by others, so forget it this time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want to involve Mitarashi Anko. He still had feelings for this disciple. He also knew that Orochimaru did not take her away because she still had feelings for Anko.
It can be said that Red Bean was Orochimaru's last kindness.
"No, Third Generation Grandfather, I haven't finished what I want to do yet. It's not good to give up halfway."
You stood up, wiped the tears you had deliberately caused, and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"I want that big sister to recognize me! And then become one of my brides!"
You stated your purpose out loud.
"Yeah, good, this... eh?"
The Sandaime nodded at your tenacity at first, even though he didn’t want to involve Anko, it was nice to be able to see your character.
But the following words shocked him.
"No, Naruto, why is it the bride, and one of them!"
He grabbed your shoulders and couldn’t help but ask.
You shook your head in confusion.
"But you said before, Third Generation Grandfather, that being together as a couple is proof of mutual recognition, so I want to prove that I can gain recognition from others and make everyone not hate me. Isn't the best way to get everyone to marry me?"
The Sandaime covered his face in pain. He admitted that he had neglected to take care of you. After all, there were a lot of troubles after the death of the Fourth Hokage.
but……
"This is wrong! Naruto!"
"But this is what you said, Third Generation Grandfather!"
You opened your big innocent eyes and spoke in an innocent tone.
"If you want others to agree with you, you must do your best! Grandpa Sandaime! I, Uzumaki Naruto, am not the kind of person who procrastinates!"
The Sandaime was speechless.
At this moment, he felt pain and an ominous premonition.
