"This city is prosperous, but why are there no people there?"

"Maybe he went to attend some event, such as the Kazekage's enthronement or something like that"

"No, the atmosphere is still too weird. Looking forward, my intuition from many years of doing tasks tells me that there must be something wrong with this place!"

【The moment Naruto fell from the sky, the solemn and mysterious voice sounded again, like an ancient call, echoing in his ears:"The first thing is to face your past."

"What! ? Where is this place? Who are you? Why are you saying this to me!"Naruto shouted in astonishment. His attention was completely attracted by this mysterious voice, and the crisis behind him seemed to be no longer important.

His intuition told him that there was a secret behind this voice that was more critical than the predicament at hand. However, The voice didn't give any response, leaving only endless mysteries.】

"This sound is exactly the same as the one I just heard in the tower...."

"Does it want Naruto to face his past? Picture what?"

"Who knows"

"Are you facing the past? Everyone has a past that they don’t want to face, especially those in our ninja profession...."

"Weak guy! Just get rid of the useless things from the past!"

"How was it going to make Naruto face the past and cast a genjutsu on him? I heard that powerful genjutsu ninjas can make people relive their most painful memories over and over again"

"It's so scary. I'm so worried about playing illusions."...

【As Naruto fell like a meteor, he crashed through the weak building below and fell into the ground.

In sharp contrast to the floating city that was bathed in the sun, prosperous but empty.

The corners here are dim and quiet, but reveal an indescribable vitality - the small houses are scattered in an orderly manner, and every brick and tile carries the breath of fireworks.

Naruto's legs were severely injured in the fall. He sat on the cold ground and struggled to stand up, but he was unable to do so.

At this moment, the pursuers approached silently like ghosts in the night.

At the critical moment, a figure appeared in the core of the encirclement like a phantom. He lightly picked up Naruto, and then disappeared into the night like a gust of wind.

This sudden savior also has golden hair, and his face is covered by a special mask, making it impossible to see his true face.

The man's movements were swift and graceful, and every move was like a carefully calculated dance, which not only protected Naruto, but also got rid of the pursuers without leaving a trace.】

"Holy crap, crap, crap! That's gold glitter! I know him even when he turns to ashes!

"Broken, the golden glitter in the parallel world is not dead!!"

"The golden flash is coming, another mission has to be abandoned voluntarily"

"The Iwa Ninja in front is so bad, useless!"

"How can it be? How long has it been since our Fourth Hokage died! The timeline of the light curtain is further back than ours, there is no way he is still alive!"

"It shouldn’t be! How could he not die? Why did Tsunade-hime become the fifth Hokage when he wasn't dead?"

"A guess, not necessarily correct. The Fourth Hokage first faked his death to escape people's sight, and then turned to the shadows to become the shadow leader of Konoha, specializing in doing things that cannot be shown in the open!"

"etc! I know that organization! To eradicate dissidents for Konoha in the shadows...The Darkness of Konoha - Roots!"

"So Minato Namikaze is the leader of Gen! ?"

"Reasonable! All the clues are connected!"

"Hiss——, but I heard that the leader of Gen is not a one-eyed old man?"

"It's fake at first glance, how can such a disabled person take on such an important task? It must be fake news released by the Fourth Hokage to confuse everyone!"

"No, there is still a problem. Who would be a normal and well-behaved Hokage instead of running around and playing in the mud?"

"It's exciting. Everyone knows that his wife is 'that'. After the monster went berserk that day, news spread that the Fourth Hokage had died in battle...., you taste, you taste carefully"

"Why are you so cowardly? Aren't they just tailed beasts and jinchūriki, why are they so secretive?"

"So the Fourth Hokage is really still alive? Konoha is so insidious! If the light curtain hadn't revealed the secret, everyone would have been deceived by them!"

In the depths of Konoha Village, a silence enveloped everyone. Their eyes wandered between each other, and their hearts were full of doubts and uneasiness.

Those ninjas who were still weak and had lower status did not dare to speak easily for fear of their own words. It would violate an unspeakable taboo.

However, those ninjas who had interacted with Namikaze Minato had already concluded in their hearts - that man, Namikaze Minato, had died in the battle. This was an undoubted fact. On the night of the Tailed Rebellion, when the terrifying tailed beast escaped, Namikaze Minato's fate was sealed.

Once the jinchūriki loses the tailed beast, the fire of life will be extinguished, and Uzumaki Kushina, as the nine-tailed one. The Jinchuuriki was Namikaze Minato's wife. Her sacrifice was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to Namikaze Minato.

Some people imagined that Namikaze Minato might have chosen to fake his death after his wife died in order to seek revenge in the future. The story sounds really exciting, but those who really know Minato Namikaze firmly believe that such behavior is definitely not what Minato Namikaze can do.

"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Shuito has given his life for the village many years ago!"

The third Hokage's voice was like a calming sea needle, which gradually calmed down the turmoil in the hearts of the ninjas in Konoha Village. His words revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if he was warning everyone not to make groundless speculations.

As for whether other people in the ninja world believe it, that is no longer a concern of the Third Hokage. His responsibility is only to protect Konoha and maintain the peace of the village.

【After the blond man who looked like the Fourth Hokage took Naruto away, a burly figure quietly appeared.

This man was as strong as a hill. His right hand expanded instantly and turned into a giant palm, as if it could shake mountains and rivers.

He leaped into the air and swept his giant palm across like an autumn wind sweeping down fallen leaves, knocking down the pursuing puppets one by one. The scene was shocking.

Immediately afterwards, another person slowly walked out of the shadows, and behind him were countless swarms of insects, like a black tide, overwhelming the sky.

These swarms of insects were like well-trained soldiers, quickly covering the remaining puppets and devouring them without leaving a trace.】

"Looks familiar, not sure, take another look"

"Not sure! That fat pig looked like a member of the Konoha Akimichi clan!"

"Le, do you dare to say this word in front of the Akida clan?"

"What am I afraid of? They can slap me with the doubling technique through the light screen?"
