Chapter 58: The Root of Sorrow

In Jiraiya's imagination, Naruto, as the son of the Fourth Hokage and a descendant of a hero, although both his parents died, could at least grow up healthily in Konoha as an orphan. After all, there were no orphans in Konoha Village.

In the past, most of the ninjas who died in the war also had children, and the children they left behind would live alone under the care of Konoha, such as Kakashi, Iruka, and even Orochimaru and himself. Didn't they all come here like this?

Well.

But he didn't expect that the life Naruto lived was obviously different from what he imagined.

Although Jiraiya has not really seen Naruto yet, judging from the environment in the house, it seems that Naruto's life cannot be described as 'good' at all.

First of all, just judging from the layout of the room, the furnishings in the room are very messy, and garbage is discarded everywhere. Although these are all caused by Naruto himself, judging from the smell emanating from the garbage, they have been discarded.

It has been here for a long time, and no one has cleaned it up for such a long time, which means that no one is taking care of Naruto.

Second point, the food in Naruto's house is very simple. The only thing he drinks is milk, and the food he eats is instant noodles. This shows that his living habits are very poor and his diet is not standardized. It also shows once again that he has not been affected by

Proper care.

You must know that children like Naruto who are six or seven years old are in the best stage of body growth, so a full range of nutritional intake is very necessary. Unhealthy eating habits will affect their physical development, which will affect their future growth.

is very disadvantageous.

This was not how Naruto should have been treated...

Jiraiya was quite critical of this.

According to Naruto's status, even if he is not treated as the son of the Hokage, he must at least arrange for someone to take care of his diet and daily life. However, Jiraiya did not see any of this.

All he saw was a poor orphan who lived alone at a young age with no relatives and no friends. He was completely unable to take care of himself, so he lived in a chaotic environment and had a single diet.

Is this the life Naruto should have?

There was a sad look in Jiraiya's eyes, maybe even the children in the orphanage had a better life than him.

"These are all my fault..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh, walked forward slowly, and glanced around the room. When he saw the messy scene, his eyes suddenly dimmed and he said in annoyance.

"what happened?"

Jiraiya turned around with a faint reproachful expression on his face. He didn't believe that all of this was deliberately arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it was an indisputable fact that Naruto's life was a mess, so he hoped that Sarutobi

Hiruzen could give a reasonable explanation.

"well……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, looking past the huge glass window in Naruto's house and looking at the Hokage Rock in the distance, with a guilty look in his eyes.

"You should know that Minato chose to seal the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body in order to make him a hero, because Naruto sacrificed himself for the village and became the container of the Nine-Tails."

"Um."

Jiraiya nodded. He could imagine how Minato Namikaze felt when he chose to seal the Nine-Tails in Naruto. However, there was no doubt that Minato loved his child. Although he chose to let Naruto

Sacrifice for the village, but he must also hope that the villagers can treat Naruto as a hero.

"I originally thought so, but..." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him, with a helpless light shining in his eyes: "The adults in the village don't think so."

He slowly recounted what happened over the years.

"Over the years, the attitudes of the adults in the village towards Naruto can be roughly divided into two types. The first is fear. They are afraid of the Nine-Tails, and they are also afraid of Naruto as the container of the Nine-Tails, because they are afraid that one day the Nine-Tails will

will break out again, so these people are trying to keep a distance from Naruto as much as possible, deliberately alienating him, ignoring him, and ignoring his existence. I think most of the villagers should have this attitude."

"So, is there another kind?" Jiraiya asked. Sarutobi Hiruzen said that there are two kinds, one is fear, and what is the other?

"The other is hatred.

Sarutobi Hiruzen answered word for word.

"They did not regard Naruto as a hero, nor did they regard him as a container to seal the Nine-Tails, but regarded him as the Nine-tailed Demon Fox who killed their relatives and companions. Although under my strict orders, they did not

They can't really do anything to Naruto, but deep down in their hearts they have never recognized Naruto, so whenever they see Naruto, their attitude is cold and terrifying."

"I see……"

Jiraiya exhaled softly and said sadly.

In fact, he has seen too many outsiders' attitudes towards jinchuriki in his several years of travel. It can be said that in any village, jinchuriki are basically not treated as normal people. Usually

He would be subject to house arrest, isolation or hostility from the villagers. However, he did not expect that this situation would be the same in Konoha.

Obviously it was not like this in the era of Uzumaki Mito and Kushina.

Jiraiya was a little confused, but he had forgotten that unlike the tailed beasts in other villages, Konoha's Nine Tails before Naruto became a jinchuriki, whether in the body of Uzumaki Mito or Uzumaki Kushina

, the Kyuubi has always been perfectly sealed, and has never brought any substantial harm to Konoha Village for decades. Therefore, people at that time had a very shallow understanding of the Kyuubi and the Jinchūriki, and they would not

Especially fear or discriminate against them.

Until that day seven years ago, everyone saw the terror of Kyuubi.

Hatred and fear are caused by pain. Without harm and pain, then the hatred will not develop to be as strong as it is now. Therefore, in this context, the treatment Naruto received is naturally not what the previous two generations of Jinchuuriki could have done.

Comparable.

"but……"

Jiraiya paused. After Sarutobi Hiruzen's explanation, he had a general understanding of the villagers' attitude towards Naruto. However, the conversation immediately changed and another question blurted out: "In this case, then don't do it in the first place.

Let's reveal Naruto's identity. I know that in order to protect Naruto, the facts about Minato's son cannot be disclosed, but as long as the truth about the Jinchuuriki is not exposed, Naruto should be able to live like an ordinary child, right? Just like Kushina

It was like that back then.”

Naruto's mother, Uzumaki Kushina, came to Konoha Village to become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. It was a secret that only a few people knew.

Jiraiya thought that since the people in the village were so unfavorable to the Jinchuuriki, then it would be enough not to tell others the fact that Naruto was a Jinchuuriki, and let the villagers regard Naruto as an ordinary orphan. Then

Naruto wouldn't have had such a hard time.

So the question arises, why is it so common knowledge that Naruto is a Jinchuriki?

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and did not refute Jiraiya's suggestion, but replied affirmatively: "If this is the case, Naruto may be able to get a better childhood..."

At this point, he suddenly stopped, let out a long sigh, and a trace of bitterness appeared on his face.

"So, these are all my fault."

He scolded himself in a low voice.

"If I hadn't been negligent..."

"what happened?"

Jiraiya frowned slightly, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, there seemed to be a hidden meaning in it.

"Alas..." Sarutobi Hiruzen lamented again, a trace of loneliness flashed in his old eyes, and then he told everything that had happened before.

"Jiraiya, you should know the strategic monitoring system of Konoha Village, right?"

He said solemnly.

It turns out that the reason for all this can be traced back to the night of the Nine Tails seven years ago.

That night, a mysterious person summoned the Nine-Tails to Konoha (it is now known to be Obito). At the beginning, since the Fourth Generation had not come back yet, the ninjas led by the Third Generation were the ones who fought against the Nine-Tails.

group, it was also during that period that the ninjas suffered the heaviest casualties, because the Kyuubi was the strongest among all the tailed beasts. It was huge and had amazing strength. It could easily smash several houses with one claw. At that time, the wooden

There are almost no ninjas in the leaf village who are its enemies. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi fights hard, it can only be said that the scope of the Nine-Tails' activities is limited to the outside of the village.

Therefore, a large number of experienced adult ninjas died in that difficult battle to defend their homeland. When the Fourth Hokage defeated Obito and returned to Konoha, except for the young people who were specially protected, those who had finally survived the third war were

The older generation of ninjas who survived on the battlefield were almost dead.

Seeing such a miserable situation, in order to prevent Kyuubi from continuing to destroy Konoha, the fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, who arrived, immediately moved himself and Kyuubi to the barren mountains outside the village, and the remaining

People are rescued from disasters.

At that time, apart from the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, there were only two unknown jounin who rushed to the scene.

According to common sense, the only people who knew that Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, apart from Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, were the later Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two jounin who followed him. If they put Naruto

If his identity is kept secret, can he ensure that Naruto can live a normal life like an ordinary child?

The answer is no, because not only the people present can know the truth about the Nine-Tails Seal. In Konoha Village, there are some special people who can know what is happening thousands of meters away from where they are standing.

That is the Hyuga clan.

Konoha Village has a special surveillance system. In addition to the large barrier that surrounds the village, the Hyuga clan also plays a very key role in it. Their mission is to take action on the front lines and when the village is threatened.

The surrounding situation is immediately reported to the people at the rear, ensuring that people in the village have the most complete strategic intelligence under any circumstances, so that support or personnel control can be dispatched immediately.

As one of the three legendary eye skills of the Hyuga clan, the Byakugan has the ability to see through, farsight and meridians. It is usually used as scouts and intelligence personnel on the battlefield. As people with such eye skills, they do not

If you need to rush to the scene, you can know the changes in the center of the battlefield just by standing there.

Just like when Pain invaded Konoha in the future, the Hyuga clan standing at the back observed the battle situation in front through the Byakugan and broadcast it to the crowd in the back in real time. During the Nine-Tails Incident, relying on those eyes

, they also completely witnessed everything that happened in front of them.

Therefore, although the last six people were present when the Kyuubi was sealed, in fact, the number of people who knew about the sealing was several times that number.

Therefore, when Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly returned to Konoha with the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, the fact that "Kyuubi was sealed into the body of a baby with a beard-like pattern" had been spread to everyone.

"it's all my fault."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with regret again. He knew that this was actually not the fault of the Hyuga clan. After all, it was their duty to be vigilant and pay attention to the development of the situation until the danger was over. No matter in the three wars,

In the past days, they all came here like this, and there was no gag order at that time, so there was nothing that couldn't be said.

Therefore, although it was Hinata who leaked the jinchuriki's identity, it was not their fault.

"If I had discovered and stopped them earlier..."

He blamed himself, if anyone was really at fault, it should be him. If he could have foreseen all this earlier and stopped the spread of the news, then maybe Naruto would not be what he is today.

"Forget it, there is nothing we can do about it."

Jiraiya waved his hand, he understood. Speaking of it, Naruto's experience was actually the result of many factors.

The Hyuga clan is not wrong. It is their duty to observe the battle situation and convey information. Hiruzen Sarutobi is not wrong either, because he is not a god and cannot predict what will happen next. He cannot know in advance that Namikaze Minato will command the Nine-Tails.

It is sealed in his own child, so it is impossible to remind the Hyuga clan in advance not to reveal the secret.

From these two aspects, it is not anyone's fault, it can only be said to be the normal development of the incident.

If anyone is really responsible, then the only one is Uchiha Obito who released the Kyuubi and caused all the harm.

"So, what happened next?"

"Later..." Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly shook his head: "By the time I discovered all this, it was already too late. Almost all the adults already knew about the Jinchuuriki. In desperation, I could only order

No one should mention the jinchūriki and the demon fox, and those who violate the rules will be severely punished."

"For this reason, adults slowly stopped discussing this matter, so most children today don't know the existence of jinchūriki. For Naruto, this is a blessing among misfortunes."

"But, Jiraiya, do you know? Sometimes, the attitude of adults towards Naruto will unknowingly affect the children..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes darkened. Although children do not know the root cause, they are good at imitating and learning. Therefore, they will gradually understand the behavior of adults. Although they do not know why, they are also alienated from adults.

, what the adults hate, they also hate it, back and forth, coupled with the deliberate guidance of some adults, so although it prevents the information about the Kyuubi from being conveyed to the next generation, there are still not many children willing to play with Naruto.

"That's why we need your help."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around, faced Jiraiya, and said seriously: "Whether you are Minato's master or a ninja of Konoha, you are the best for Naruto.

Candidate."
