As a result, he failed.

The other party's spy lurked in Konoha and calculated the date when his wife would give birth.

Eventually, he and his wife Kushina died.

"Did he take action himself?"

Naruto asked.

Minato pondered for a moment and replied: "No, what appeared in Konoha at that time was a ninja with a strange aura. He possessed the most advanced form of the Sharingan - the Mangekyo Sharingan, which can distort time and space remotely and attack.

It was he who controlled the Kyuubi at that time and attacked Konoha. In addition, there was another mysterious ninja wearing a black robe. He was very powerful and my time and space ninjutsu could not defeat him in a short time.

"

"Even dad, you don't know who they are?"

Naruto asked in surprise.

Minato's expression was heavy: "Yes, at that time I only suspected Chiba Shiraishi and was not completely sure. But if I think about it carefully, judging from the tone of the man in black robe, he was not taking orders from Chiba Shiraishi, but

We have a cooperative relationship with the other party, and our identity and origins are full of unknowns.”

"Then the other holder of the Mangekyō Sharingan is..."

"I don't know his identity either. But I think he is not the Uchiha ninja from the Kingdom of Oni or Konoha, but belongs to an unknown third party."

"Unknown...third party?"

Naruto was startled, doesn't this mean that there is a third 'Uchiha clan'?

"That's more or less it. Due to the lack of information, I don't know much about it. After my death, the country of ghosts where Qianba Shiraishi is located also secretly developed rapidly. Judging from the results, his plan was indeed successful.

.This kind of enemy is really a headache. Even if I hadn't died at the time, it would probably be unrealistic to defeat him... His abilities are far more bizarre and difficult to deal with than imagined."

Minato said this.

"Even so, Dad, you are very powerful. You can make so many powerful ninjas target you. Moreover, many of them join forces and fight alone. Dad will have no problem."

Naruto tried to comfort him, thinking that the battle back then was full of unfairness to Minato.

Regarding Naruto's childish words of comfort, Minato smiled dumbly and said to him: "Naruto, failure is failure, whether it is conspiracy or being defeated from the front on the battlefield, the world of ninjas does not pay attention to these things.

.Moreover, many of my past victories were based on sneak attacks. Because a dead person cannot express dissatisfaction to a living person."

Naruto's expression seemed lonely.

Minato touched Naruto's head, smiled at him in a calm tone and said: "And judging from Chiba Shiraishi's follow-up actions, based on the scattered information I have learned so far, he is probably carrying out an extremely shocking plan.

plan."

"Amazing plan."

"The system of the Demon Country is completely different from the systems of other countries in the ninja world today. It is even inherently conflicting in many places. It does not have much respect for lords like daimyo. The jurisdiction of ninjas is also more rigorous than that of ninja villages.

Militarization...Although there are some hidden dangers within the Kingdom of Demons, such as the overpowering of blood families such as the Uchiha clan and Hyuga clan, once it reaches a large scale, it will become like Konoha, monopolizing the power class. But

As long as Qianye Baishi remains alive, these hidden dangers will not explode and will remain dormant for a long time."

The smile on Minato's face faded, his expression gradually became serious and solemn, and a sharp color flashed across his green eyes.

Naruto sat next to him, folding his hands on his chest, tilting his head, looking puzzled.

What Minato said was so profound that he didn't understand a word, and it was completely unlike the simple and straightforward answers he gave him before.

Instead, let him think about the problem, look for clues, and get the answer.

"Naruto, it's time for you to replenish your poor historical knowledge. If you continue to target Hokage, you can't just rely on force. To lead a village, you need more than just strong brute force. The so-called shadow has never been

They are not enemies of darkness, but ninjas who control all the light and darkness in the village. They are all shadow's right-hand men, and there is no distinction between them, nor are they superior or inferior."

Minato smiled bitterly.

Even the Fourth Raikage, who was full of muscles, was actually a calculating ninja. He was not as simple-minded as he appeared to be. It was just that the other party had a dedicated team of secretaries, and he only had to deal with important matters.

Just make the decision.

But Naruto's situation is different, because his son really lacks sufficient knowledge of many common senses.

All he can think about is cultivation and getting stronger.

This is indeed very important for ninjas, but it is not enough to become the leader of ninjas. Otherwise, even if you become Hokage, you will only be used as a knife in the hands of others.

For high-level officials, their favorites are ninjas like Naruto.

But this kind of love is just for use. He will never be regarded as a candidate for Hokage, unless a puppet is needed to take the stage.

"But I want to learn magic quickly, but how can I have so much time?"

Naruto blinked and replied.

"Well... don't worry about the magic. I will also help you, and I will also help you complete the training to control the nine-tailed chakra. It will save a lot of time. You can use these savings.

Use your time to read some meaningful books. There are some things that you still need to learn from scratch... It's best to go find your friend named Shikamaru and ask him to help."

"Shikamaru?"

Naruto was startled, not knowing why he was mentioned.

"To have such an outstanding friend who doesn't know how to study, to be honest, you are really wasting your resources, Naruto. The kid named Shikamaru is very outstanding. From what I have observed so far, he is more suitable to be Hokage than you."

Minato deliberately picked a thorn in his mouth.

The result was obvious, the competitive spirit in Naruto's eyes was successfully picked out.

"I know, I will ask him to teach me how to learn!"

Since his father as Hokage had spoken, he had the experience of becoming Hokage and must know how to get closer to Hokage, so Naruto agreed without hesitation and was convinced of Minato's words without any doubt.

Minato didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.

In addition to the disadvantage of being an idiot, in another sense, being an idiot is also an advantage, because with a little help, you will be obedient and easy to tame.

But when he thought that this was his own son, Minato didn't know how to evaluate it.

"Then, that's it for today's exchange. By the way, don't tell anyone about my time here, not even Mr. Jiraiya. I don't want too many people to know about my existence."

After saying that, what remained in front of Naruto's eyes was just a golden light that was quickly disappearing.

When Naruto finally came to his senses, the scene in the living room at home returned to his eyes.

Everything that just happened was as illusory as a dream, full of unreality.

But Naruto understood that everything that just happened was real.

Looking out the window, it was completely dark.

Before he knew it, he had been sitting in the living room for several hours.

…

"So...this is why you knocked on my door in the middle of the night?"

The Nara Clan clan's place, in front of the Shikamaru family.

Shikamaru faced a face with severe dark circles, and glanced at Naruto who was standing in front of his house in the middle of the night with a twitching corner of his mouth. If he hadn't considered that the other person was his friend, he would have really wanted to disturb his dreams.

Guys, stuff it into the sewer and flush it away.

Looking at Naruto coming to him with many books in his arms, should he say that he has a weak brain or that his mobility is different from ordinary people?

Shikamaru sighed.

"Forget it, come in. If you have anything to do, you'd better tell it within a few minutes, otherwise I'll be angry."

I am not this guy with excessive energy. During the period of serious injury, I was still so lively and walking around without any problems.

A normal person would just lie on the hospital bed and recuperate, and would not do anything extra.

However, after seeing the depressed expression on Naruto's face dissipated a lot, even though he didn't know what exactly happened after the other person returned, Shikamaru was somewhat relieved to be able to get out of the shadows smoothly.

It would be quite troublesome if the other party is stuck in a corner all the time.

Sasuke and Kakashi left first, then Sakura... As a companion, his mood was also depressed for a while.

But people still have to look forward and correct their stance.

He is a ninja of Konoha. As long as he does not violate the village's principles and stance, he can do things according to his own preferences.

But when it comes to the principle issues of the village, especially the existence of defecting ninjas, there is nothing to talk about.

Whether you kill a rebel ninja or be killed by a rebel ninja, this is the world of ninjas.

(PS: Naruto’s side is finally finished. I know these things are boring, but I wrote it from beginning to end. Next, I will summarize Sasuke and Shiraishi’s side, and then jump to the timeline of the original Shippuden. This is also the main chapter.
Chapter completed!
