Dark Naruto's acting life

Jiraiya fell silent after hearing what Naruto said.

Honestly he was somewhat responsible for Naruto's current situation.

Just like Naruto said, although they are not related by blood, he and Naruto are still half relatives.

Minato died protecting the village, so as a mentor he should be responsible for taking care of Naruto.

But he ignored Naruto for the so-called child of prophecy.

At that time, he knew that Minato had left an orphan after his death in the war, and thought that the village would not treat this child badly, right? So he did not go back immediately. Unexpectedly, when he returned a few years later, rumors spread in the village that Naruto had gone from being a hero's son to a demon fox despised by everyone.

He once went to the Third Hokage to argue, but the old man threw all the problems to Danzo.

This is such a huge joke. How could the village's highest commander be fooled by a Danzo and be unable to fight back?

Looking at the old man with a remorseful look on his face, Jiraiya knew that this person was far from the master he had in mind.

The current Third Hokage is first and foremost a Hokage and a politician. He only prioritizes the overall situation. The happiness or dignity of some minor characters are nothing more than things he can abandon and sacrifice at any time.

Although Naruto is the son of a hero, he is a powerless and infant boy, and in the eyes of Konoha's top leaders, he is just a small character who can be manipulated at will.

From that point on, Jiraiya began to resist the village, but also became more determined to find the child of prophecy.

He firmly believed that only by finding the person who made the prophecy could he give hope to more people.

As for Naruto...

For the happiness of more people, I have to let him down temporarily.

However, this idea began to waver after talking with Naruto.

He recalled the new prophecy made by the Toad Immortal a few years ago.

That was probably when Naruto was five years old.

The sage Fukasaku teleported him back to Myoboku Mountain and brought him before the sage Gamada.

At that time, the great immortal said to him: "The Dharma should not be passed on to the six ears, and the Tao should not be passed on lightly."

Jiraiya was confused and asked him what he meant.

The big toad said in a different tone from before: "Jiraiya, your next apprentice will bring changes to the world. You need to be careful. He may bring great disaster or a new hope."

To be fair, if there hadn't been this prophecy, Jiraiya would have definitely brought Naruto with him to practice after he came back this time, especially since he had heard some bad rumors recently. Not only were there people outside the village plotting to capture the Nine-Tails, but the village also didn't seem to be very peaceful.

However, with the warning from the Toad Immortal, he did not dare to act recklessly.

After a long silence, Jiraiya said, "Kid, what do you think of the village?"

The corners of Naruto's mouth twitched slightly, and he knew that Jiraiya was finally moved with compassion.

He was feeling very proud.

On the surface, he showed an expression of confusion and astonishment.

After a long time, Naruto's eyes dimmed visibly.

He asked Jiraiya in a slightly lowered voice, "What does this mean?"

"I'm asking you what you think of the village. What do you think of the people and things here?"

“People and things…”

Another long hesitation.

"Ino is my best friend. Uncle Ichiraku is also very nice. He treats me to the best ramen. The owner of the barbecue restaurant is also very nice. The meat is very fresh and delicious. The third-generation grandfather would be a very good person if he didn't steal my grilled fish."

Naruto's words were so disjointed that ordinary people wouldn't even know what he was saying.

But Jiraiya could probably understand.

The people Naruto was talking about were probably the ones who had been relatively nice to him over the past decade or so.

He knew them all, but when all was said and done, there were only two or three of them.

I felt a little sad for no reason.

Maybe I really did something wrong.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, Jiraiya asked again: "Naruto, if one day you have power, what will you do?"

"strength?"

"Yes, power. If you were given enough power and the person who had bullied and humiliated you before appeared in front of you, what would you do?"

"This kind of thing is simply..."

"Take what I say as the truth, think carefully, then look me in the eyes and answer my questions."

Jiraiya was surprisingly serious.

Naruto met Jiraiya's eyes.

After a moment, he slowly said, "If I really had that kind of power, I would probably use it to find the truth."

Jiraiya was a little disappointed. This was not the answer he wanted. The last person who wanted to find out the truth was his best friend Orochimaru.

That person is now stuck in the quagmire. He wants to save the relationship but he can't hold on to that person's hand no matter what.

If this was the case with Naruto, then he would probably have to apologize to Minato.

Naruto didn't seem to notice Jiraiya's disappointment. He continued, "I want to find out the truth. I want to know why they bully me and why they don't want to live in peace with me. I want to know why I have suffered all these years. After I know the root cause, I will use your so-called power to change everything to eliminate the thing that makes people become hateful."

This kid...

Jiraiya opened his mouth but said nothing.

After a while, Jiraiya rubbed Naruto's head.

"Naruto, you look a lot like the Yondaime."

"You mean the hairstyle and color? Indeed, I heard that the gentleman also seemed to have blond hair."

"No, I mean virtue and talent."

After saying that, Jiraiya looked up at the Hokage Rock.

"Minato, maybe your son is the son of prophecy that I have been searching for for many years..."

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

The third round of the Chunin Exam begins.

There are a total of five people participating in the semi-finals. The four people who entered the finals from the previous round are Shino, Naruto, Temari, Rock Lee, and Gaara who drew a blank lot and advanced directly.

(A patch, I forgot that in the previous preliminaries, Gaara and Naruto tied to advance, so there should be eleven people advancing from the second round to the third round, that is, Rokudo Toss, Naruto, Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Ino, Neji, Rock Lee, and Shino who I forgot.)

(Toss challenged Gaara privately but was emptied of his health bar in one shot. The official match was exactly ten people. Now the duels are changed to Sasuke vs. Lee, Temari vs. Shikamaru, Naruto vs. Neji, Kankuro vs. Shino. Kankuro concealed his strength and admitted defeat directly. Ino faced Gaara. Ino knew she was no match for him and admitted defeat directly. QAQ.)

The process of the semi-finals is basically the same as that of the preliminary round, and the opponents are determined by drawing lots.

The five people then gathered in the center of the arena to draw lots to decide.

The five people took out the slips of paper from Moonlight Gale's lottery box one by one, and after reading them themselves, they held them above their heads to show others.

Ino was very lucky, she got a blank draw, which meant she advanced directly to the finals.

The remaining four people will fight in pairs.

Group B, Xiao Li VS Temari.

Group A, Uzumaki Naruto VS Gaara.

Shino is not on the list.

……

On the stands, Kakashi leaned against a pillar with a kiss.

Looking at the names of the two opponents displayed on the bulletin board.

He subconsciously closed his pornographic book.

"Are these two the first ones? Looks like they're going to make some big moves again."

In the stands not far away.

Choji opened a bag of potato chips and started eating.

Sitting next to him were his friends from the same period.

After seeing the names of the two people in Group A, everyone had different expressions.

"It's this troublesome guy again." Shikamaru held his chin and couldn't stop sighing.

Ino looked worried: "Naruto, be careful of that lunatic."

Hinata prayed silently: "Naruto-kun..."

On the main road leading to the stadium, Sakura was pushing a wheelchair as fast as possible towards the stadium.

"Sakura, hurry up, it's about to start." Sasuke kept urging her while sitting in a wheelchair. His injuries had not yet healed and he still had an IV hanging on his head.

Sakura: "Sasuke, don't be anxious. The game won't start until later. I'm already very fast, and any faster might affect your wound."

Sasuke: "That doesn't matter! I must keep an eye on that guy, see him... ahem."
