âBig brother, youâre so strange today. Why are you suddenly like this? The village is beautiful now. The villagers live and work in peace. Isnât everyone very happy?â
Li Yaoxiang: âNaruto, your idea is really naive. Thatâs just what you see on the surface.â
At this time, Naruto was reluctant.
âMy life is so good, isnât that the best proof? So why does big brother still say so?â
âItâs okay, big bro, just tell me, whatâs wrong with the village?â Narutoâs tone seemed confident. Making sure that Li Yaoxiang cannot give a perfect answer!
âYour surname, Uzumaki, do you know the origin of the surname Uzumaki?â
Naruto was stunned and could not understand why the big brother suddenly came to this topic, but he still spoke out the information he knew: âIsnât Uzumaki my momâs last name? I saw in the history textbook that Uzumaki is from the Land-of-Whirlpools? Is there anything wrong with it? â
âNow that you know Land-of-Whirlpools, Iâll ask you, Naruto, a good country like that; why do you think itâs destroyed? And whatâs more terrifying is that this country was one of Five-Great Ninja Villages and deep-rooted allies with the Konoha Village. Yet, it was so easily destroyed; donât you think itâs unimaginable?â
Naruto felt an uneasy feeling in his heart. He did not know why the Land-of-Whirlpools were destroyed. Because the history textbooks in Academy didnât explain the reason. If it werenât for the big brother to mention it, he really hadnât thought about it.
âBig brother, do you⌠know why?â Despite some uneasiness, Naruto asked the question with a ghostly spirit. He has a simple mind and has not yet discovered the meaning of Li Yaoxiangâs words.
âItâs very simple.â
âThere are so many people in the village, and your father chose you? Why did he choose his newborn baby to put the demon fox in him? You donât need to guess. I will tell you the answer! Thatâs because in the whole village, except your mother, thereâs only you alone, the only heir of Uzumaki Clan. At the same time, only you, Uzumaki Naruto, can withstand this seal! Because if the Kyuubi is sealed in anyone elseâs body, it will break out again!â Li Yaoxiangâs speech speed changed from slow to fast. The tone changed from light to heavy. To mobilize Narutoâs emotions to the extreme.
But Naruto, with a simple mind and a darkening degree of only 8%, couldnât hear the meaning of this series of messages. He still disagreed.
âOh⌠it turns out that dad sealed the demon fox in my body for a reason. This is very good! No one will need to sacrifice themselves.â
âBut⌠big brother, what does this have to do with the destruction of Land-of-Whirlpools?â
âHey~â Li Yaoxiang sighed, âNaruto, use your brain to think more. Canât you see some clues in the Academyâs history textbooks? First-Hokageâs wife, Uzumaki Mito, is the villageâs first generation to seal the demon fox. If her death is coming, then I ask you, what should they do with the sealed demon fox? Who else in the village can replace Uzumaki Mito to seal the demon fox? Canât you see the obvious answer?â
Naruto: âMy mom, right? Whatâs wrong with this?â
Li Yaoxiang: ââŚâ
If someone came to Li Yaoxiang at this moment and claimed Narutoâs thinking wasnât influenced by Asura, Li Yaoxiang would slap him!
âYes, yes! You are awesome! They look for your mother! But have you ever thought about how your mother would be so willing to leave your hometown and come to the village to be a monster in everyoneâs eyes?! Do I still need to spell it?! Isnât it because her country is destroyed that your mother has nowhere to go?! She needed to stay in Konoha and seal the demon fox to her body!â
Naruto was stunned, hesitantly said: âBig brother⌠you mean, mom stayed in Konoha because of last resort? The Land-of-Whirlpools was destroyed⌠has something to do with this village?â
Without waiting for Li Yaoxiangâs answer, Naruto quickly rejected himself: âNo! No! Didnât the history textbooks say that the Land-of-Whirlpools was defeated in the war! So how could this be related to the village? Itâs not the village that attacked the Land-of-Whirlpools!â
âHaha! Really? Is there really such a coincidence in the world? Well, you believe the history textbooks, right? Then let me ask you something again. The history textbooks also said that the village was attacked during the World War 2 period, and Land-of-Whirlpools rescued the village. But why was it, when it was the Land-of-Whirlpools turn to be attacked, the village didnât come to rescue Land-of-Whirlpools? Donât be joking with me! As one of Five-Great Ninja Villages, if Konoha really wanted to save the Land-of-Whirlpools, do you think they would not succeed?â
Narutoâs face turned pale. He couldnât find any rebuttal words at all.
âThis⌠this⌠thisâŚâ
At the same time, Li Yaoxiang did not give Naruto gasp for breath the opportunity to continue taunted: âHaha! The huge Land-of-Whirlpools just happened to leave your mother with the village? For the amazing Land-of-Whirlpools, the village did not save them as a whole, but instead, they managed to perfectly and coincidentally save the Uzumaki Clanâs inheritance Sealing Jutsu. As a result, the Uzumaki Clanâs inheritance has become the Ninjutsu for everyone in the village. Haha! What a coincidence! Naruto, you are right! Do you see how good the village is? Even if they didnât save the people or even their own allies, the village doesnât forget to help others carry forward their inheritance! The village is really great!â
But, after hearing some commentary from Li Yaoxiang, even Narutoâs thinking couldnât find any optimistic conjectures because there are, indeed, too many coincidences in this whole incident.
Coincidentally, Land-of-Whirlpools were destroyed. Konoha Village seemed to have lost a large ally, and their strength was greatly damaged. But, the real situation is that Konoha was the real ultimate profiter in this whole event!
Not only the sealed demon fox is here! Even someone elseâs entire clanâs inheritance is also included in the soil!
Who else has gained more than Konoha in this war?
No need for Li Yaoxiang to say it. Naruto can answer this by himself.
Thinking of this, even if Naruto didnât want to believe that this matter had nothing to do with the village, he couldnât deceive himself anymore. After all, as long as you follow this logic, continue to speculate, and connect the various events together⌠All the spearheads are indeed directed at Konoha.
Naruto suddenly stood up. âNo! No! The real situation must not be like this! I will go and ask old fogey! He must tell me the truth!â
