Darkening System Start From Naruto
Chapter 13
Seeing the atmosphere on the scene gradually heating up, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately seized the opportunity and said, “The reason why I am calling everyone to come here is to remember the heroes! Let them know that their sacrifice is not in vain! Let them see, Konoha has led a stable life because of their guardianship!”
“Mr-Hokage is right! We are all fine now!”
“Yes! I want to live a better life, proving that their choice is not wrong!”
The sound of approval echoed throughout the place.
Enthusiasm, excitement, and atmosphere almost converged to the highest point.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wants it!
Looking at the atmosphere made almost the same, his painting style changed: “But..”.
“Tapi” this leaves the audience speechless again, holding their breath, waiting for their Gentlemen-Hokage to continue the conversation.
“Do you still remember the hero who really saved us from this disaster?”
After a pause, he looked around the place. “I believe that no one at the scene will forget! He is the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, who sacrificed his life to save everyone!”
Hearing the name Namikaze Minato, everyone present unknowingly looked towards the Hokage Stone not far away. They looked towards the fourth rank stone statue.
On the surface, there were not many mood swings. But in everyone's heart, there is a touch of gratitude.
Clearly, they would never talk about the Fourth Hokage over and over again. But once an outsider or child asks, they will proudly say, ‘That's our Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato!’ And began to introduce his heroic actions.
The villagers remember everything.
Slowly, as the first person in the field shouted the words, “Hokage Fourth”.
The voices were also shouting one after another.
“HOKAGE FOURTH!”
“HOKAGE FOURTH!”
“HOKAGE FOURTH!”
Naruto, surrounded by this turbulent public opinion, listened to everyone shout his father's name, he was so excited that his entire cheeks were flushed, and his entire body trembled.
Be excited!
Surprised!
‘That's right! This is my father, Namikaze Minato!’
At this moment, Naruto is proud of his father like never before. His father was the hero who saved the entire village, and he was the son of this hero!
He was so small that he could not help but raise his head and chest and follow everyone to shout his proud father's name.
At this time, the great public sentiment was once again interrupted by “but” Sarutobi Hiruzen, and everyone fell silent again, ready to listen to the words of the next Third Hokage.
“One thing. Because I didn't take care of the child Minato left behind..”.
The voice fell, and the scene was silent. Then there was a stir.
“This…?! The Fourth Hokage has a child? Why have we never heard of it ?! ”
“I remember.. Fourth Hokage's Wife indeed . But didn't they then say that they died together in the disaster?”
For civilians like them, the news they get is often deliberately spread and tampered with by the Konoha side.
“You do not know about this matter, and it should be like that.. Because I want to make Minato's son safe and peaceful and live life as an ordinary person, I made up this news.” Sarutobi Hiruzen explained.
Then, the people in the crowd started asking Sarutobi Hiruzen on the high platform:
“Tuan-Hokage, who is this Fourth Hokage's son? Where is she?”
“Yes, Mr-Hokage. If the Fourth Hokage really leaves the bloodline, then we should repay him well. We will not forget the help of the Fourth Hokage!”
They all asked about the situation of Namikaze Minato's son. Everyone tells the truth from their hearts. They were very grateful to Namikaze Minato.
If it wasn't for Namikaze Minato's sacrifice, they wouldn't be here. The damage caused by the demon fox to the village at that time would only be more serious.
Naruto gulped and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in a daze, waiting for him to say his most anticipated moment today.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not disappoint Naruto, nor did he bridge the situation.
“In the past few years, I'm sure everyone has heard of the incarnation of the demon fox being a child, right? I don't need to say more. I bet everyone knows who this kid is?”
Halfway through Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his sentence, each eye could not help but concentrate on the little Naruto standing in the middle of the square.
Although they did not understand why Lord-Hokage suddenly spoke of this annoying beast. But that did not prevent everyone from staring at Naruto with a look of disdain.
‘That's him! Because of this demon fox, this disaster happened back then! That's why so many people die!’
‘Hokage The honorable fourth died! It's all because of him!’
Just like this, a three-year-old was treated as an enemy by everyone. He was overwhelmed by the repulsive gazes of the tens of thousands of spectators present.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was aware of the big wrong decision he had made. He ignored Naruto's feelings. He was the one who once again broke his promise to others.
Hashirama's Senju wife, Uzumaki Mito, entrusts him to look after his son and grandson before he dies. As a result, the Senju Clan was lost. The Whirlpool Land* also disappeared.
[*TL Note: The Land of Whirlpools (Uzu no Kuni, Namely: Land of Eddies) is the origin place of the Uzumaki clan. It no longer existed, it had been destroyed and the remaining survivors scattered all over the world. The surname Uzumaki is very common in this country. It is located on an island off the coast of the Fire Nation.]
It was he who promised in front of Hatake Sakumo that his boss would lead Sakumo along and let Konoha to victory. As a result, he followed his confidants for many years but was forced to die by his own decision.
It was he who agreed to allow his disciple, Orochimaru, to study the First Kage cell and study the Wood Style*, but in the end, for this exact reason, he forced his disciple to rebel against the village.
[**Note TL: Wood Element (Mokuton, Namely: Wood Style) is a natural transformation kekkei genkai, a combination of Earth and Water Element. It was famously used by Hashirama Senju. In fact, it is not known to naturally occur in others, which causes it to be considered impossible to use without having its cells. Due to the strength and versatility of the Wood Element, there were various attempts to reproduce it after Hashirama's death. The Wood Release Technique is generally affiliated with the Snake's hand seal.]
His student, Tsunade, disappointed with him, leaves the village.
His disciple, Jiraiya, who was also disappointed with him, left for a long time.
Although they did not say anything, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen not guess what his students were thinking?
And now, because of him, Naruto, his great disciple, Minato's son, who was only 3 years old, was suffering from this treatment.
Looking at the center of the square, Naruto was overwhelmed by everyone's gazes, not knowing what to do.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is guilty. Inevitably he doubted himself, doubting whether everything he had done over the years was right or wrong.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly.
‘She doesn't really care about that anymore.’
He spoke loudly to everyone: “Claims that the demon fox who incarnated into a child is actually wrong. The real situation was that the Fourth Hokage sealed the demon fox into an innocent baby. And this baby is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto! At the same time, he was also the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato's biological son!”
