Konoha: Naruto Returns from Sekiro

night.

The long-awaited rain has brought a bit of coolness to the scorching heat, but the thick dark clouds and the occasional thunder are depressing.

The lights of the Hokage building are always on, and the villagers know that it is a symbol of the hard work of the third generation of Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly moved his eyes away from the crystal ball, and looked at the person coming out of the window.

"came back."

"came back."

The two were silent for a moment, and Jiraiya asked, "What's going on with Naruto?"

Logically speaking, all information about the Jinchuuriki must be hidden.

But Naruto's identity, to a certain extent, cannot be said to be known to everyone in Konoha, it can only be regarded as a household name.

This is quite a ridiculous thing.

You must know what Konoha is - the strongest ninja village in the ninja world!

Drafted by the first generation, perfected by the second generation, the ninja regulations supplemented by the third generation clearly stated that ninjas should regard information as life!

"...This was an accident." Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a deep breath of the pipe, and then slowly exhaled it after a while. The thick smoke completely covered his sight, making it impossible to see his emotional changes.

The strong smell of burning tobacco instantly fills the entire room.

"Really?" Jiraiya said nothing more.

The Third Hokage is not stupid, and he is not stupid either. It is meaningless to ask any more questions. Asking many things too clearly is not beneficial to both parties.

……

the next day.

Naruto sat cross-legged in the old position, this time he didn't fish anymore, but took off a leaf and put it in his palm.

After a while, slowly move the palm away.

A half-cut leaf lay quietly in his palm.

After Jiraiya's guidance yesterday, great progress has been made in the practice of changing the nature of the wind.

At this level, the change in the nature of the wind has been able to greatly promote his strength.

Clang!

He pulled out the wedge pill and chopped it at the tree trunk on the side. The blade of the knife sank into the tree for a few inches.

Pull it out, and the wind attribute chakra is instantly wrapped on the blade, the same tree, different positions, the same strength.

With a soft 'poof' sound, Xie Wan easily split the tree in two.

Naruto stood the chakra-wrapped Kakimaru in front of him and expressed emotion that it was only half a leaf.

When he can cut a whole leaf, how sharp will the wedge pill be.

Of course, such a powerful attack does not come without a price.

The chakra consumed just to maintain such a short period of time is already enough for Leimen to release Lightning Electrification several times.

However, this terrifying chakra consumption may be a problem for others, but for him, it is so-so.

[That being said, Chakra's consumption of materials cannot be ignored. 】

If the amount of chakra he injected into Wedge Wandao was ten, then the final chakra that came out would be five.

Most of the chakra is wasted in the process of 'transportation'.

This is determined by the metal material used to make the wedge shot, and he can't help it.

The best solution is to find a piece of chakra metal and recast the wedge pill.

But it's unrealistic, the amount of chakra metal is scarce, and there has always been a price but no market.

The textbooks of the ninja school only briefly mentioned it to give them a general idea of ​​the existence of the gadgets, and they never thought about using them in actual combat.

With his worth, let alone buying it, he can't touch the market for this thing even if he even touches it.

"Yo, you started practicing so early?" Jiraiya's voice came from a distance.

Naruto's heart twitched slightly. The reason why he chose to practice here was probably because he didn't want to continue to get guidance from Jiraiya.

Perhaps in terms of strength, he is not much weaker than the average jounin.

However, his understanding of ninjutsu is still at the lower level of ninjutsu. He is taught by a strong man with strong teaching ability and rich knowledge reserves, which is better than his own exploration.

Although it was only Jane who showed his hand yesterday, it was this hand that made Naruto understand that this cynical Jiraiya is definitely the existence of Hayate and Uzuki Xiyan.

"Yeah, not bad!" Jiraiya looked at the fallen tree trunk and nodded slightly.

"The practice of changing nature is almost over. Do you want to learn some new ninjutsu?"

"...Why teach me?"

Naruto knew what kind of existence Konoha was, a god of plague that no one else could hide from.

"With me, the famous teacher who taught the four generations of Hokage, you actually have other ideas?" Jiraiya's expression was full of surprise, as if he had heard some unreasonable question.

"..." Naruto looked at him.

[Kyuubi, is my father the Fourth Hokage? 】

In the mental space, Naruto asked Kyuubi who was lying on the ground, but although it was a question, his tone was affirmative.

I don't know if it's because of the rebirth, or because of other reasons, but he doesn't have a deep impression on the memory of his infancy.

In the past, I could only guess about my identity based on the nine tails in my body and the vague memories of my first life.

But judging from Jiraiya's attitude towards him, the previous guesses are almost the same.

"...That's right, your father is the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, and your mother is my predecessor Jinchuriki Uzumaku Yukina." Kyuubi looked at him for a moment, and nodded with his huge fox head.

"Really..." Naruto nodded slightly, just about to push out of the mental space.

"Kid, don't you hate me?" Kyuubi slowly stood up and looked down at him.

"Hate? Why do you ask that?" Naruto looked up at him and asked in surprise.

"They all died at my hands, don't you hate it?" Nine Tails asked in a deep voice.

"Yu Li, I really should hate you." Naruto nodded, "But I don't have any memory of their existence, so how can I talk about hatred..."

The grace of giving birth is greater than that of a human being.

But without the slightest emotional basis, how did hatred come from.

In addition, the Fourth Hokage and his wife sealed the Nine-Tails in his body, unable to live or die...

From an objective point of view, it seems that the fourth generation couple, and even his existence, should be hated by Kyuubi.

"I apologize for your rudeness as a parent, Kyuubi."

Naruto bowed deeply towards Kyuubi, as the son of man, accepting the grace of his birth, but taking over their responsibilities and faults.

"If there is a chance, I will find a way to help you lift the seal."

"..." Kyuubi looked at the child who bowed to him and remained silent for a long time.

"You are not wrong, get up."

"I don't understand the grievances involved, so I can only judge from a more objective point of view." Naruto said, from what he knew, they were at fault.

"Humph……"

Kyuubi lay down again.

Naruto withdrew from the spiritual space, and there was another person waiting for him outside.

"My name is Nine Lamas."

In the mental space, Kyuubi suddenly spoke.

"Hello, Nine Lamas!" Outside, Naruto smiled slightly.
