"What?"

"Do you resent me?"

"..." Uzumaki Naruto was startled, and then slowly shook his head.

"It doesn't matter to tell the truth, but because of my current age and situation, I came to comfort me in good faith."

"...No, I'm not lying." Uzumaki Naruto replied, "To be honest, I was really angry when I first found out everything. But, in the past many years, Grandpa Third Generation, you have indeed been a gentle person to me.

One. You didn’t hate, dislike, reject, ignore or abuse me, it’s just...” He paused and continued, “You just didn’t choose me.”

"...No choice?"

"Yeah." The blond boy nodded, his blue eyes like the sky and the sea filled with understanding and...seeing through, "Grandpa, you may not dislike me, but you chose someone else for you compared to me.

More important things. That’s all.”

"..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yes... that's right." Why didn't you notice it before? This child... is really too sharp. Such a child, if he ever

With good guidance from the beginning, he will surely become a towering tree supporting Konoha; however, his best period has been delayed... What's the point of regretting it now? This is exactly the crime he committed.

"I haven't done anything to you, Third Generation Grandpa, that requires you to be grateful in return," Uzumaki Naruto continued, "You have no responsibility for me, and you have no obligation to treat me well. So, you didn't choose me.

I don’t blame you for others.”

"Naruto..." Sarutobi Hiruzen stared blankly at the young man in front of him, his eyes filled with emotion.

"But," the boy continued, "my father and mother died precisely to protect Konoha." As he said this, he slowly stroked his abdomen, "And, when there is no choice, there is no choice.

Without giving me a choice, they sealed half of the Nine-Tails into my body. They protected Konoha with their lives and were kind to Konoha, as well as everyone in Konoha. Before they died,

I must also hope that everyone can take good care of me. So, third-generation grandfather, the people you are really sorry for are my parents."

"..."

"It's not my business to forgive you," Uzumaki Naruto looked directly at the old man in front of him and continued, "It's my parents' business."

Orochimaru is located in Konoha, a secret laboratory that has not been discovered until now——

Several people slowly sat up from the experimental bed.

The man who sat up first had a head full of brilliant blond hair and a pair of blue eyes like the sky and the sea. However, there were no "whites" but only "black eyes", and there were many cracks on his handsome face, which symbolized——

He is not a living person, but a dead person who was forcibly summoned back to the world in some way, and has a body of filthy earth.

"The improved scroll you gave me is very good," Orochimaru, who was standing aside, turned his head and said to the cat-eared girl beside him, "They who came back from the dirty land all have the strength at their peak."

"Well, you did a good job." Uchiha nodded, "Then, you can go to jail."

"...What a heartless woman."

"Only you are not qualified to say such things." After the cat-eared girl left these words, she walked up to Namikaze Minato, smiled and extended a hand to him, "Minato-sensei, welcome back——

It took me a lot of effort to get you back from the belly of death."

"..." Namikaze Minato stared blankly at the girl in front of him, then tilted his head, "Who...are you?" But then, he realized that the face of the girl in front of him was very similar to that of a deceased disciple.

As well as what the other party called him just now, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Obito...you came back alive as a girl?"

"..."
