Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 304 The Truth Behind the Uchiha Clan's Extermination

Minato Namikaze was stunned. "The eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main branch? They support her being with Naruto?"

Minato Namikaze naturally knew the significance of the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main branch.

However, the Hyuga clan rarely has members marrying out, let alone the eldest daughter of the main branch.

Ye Yu smiled and said, "It's supported by the Hokage. Moreover, Naruto is currently in Konoha and is the second most outstanding young man after Sasuke. Of course, the head of the Hyuga clan would support her daughter being with Naruto."

"Furthermore, since the head of the Hyuga clan has two daughters, and he doesn't want his daughters to be branded with the Caged Bird Seal, and given that his eldest daughter doesn't really have the talent to be a ninja, marrying her off to Naruto would be a better option to prevent her from becoming a member of the branch family and being branded with the Caged Bird Seal."

With Yoru's explanation, Minato Namikaze understood why Hiashi Hyuga supported Hinata and Naruto being together.

"That's good since Naruto is doing well."

"However, it seems that Sasuke is really outstanding; you've mentioned him many times."

The Third Hokage also came over and looked at Yoru. He seemed to care about Sasuke quite a bit too.

After all, if Sasuke finds out the truth about the Uchiha clan's extermination in the future, who knows what he might do?

Yoru thought for a moment and explained, "Sasuke is now praised by people in the ninja world and is considered to be the strongest ninja in the world."

"Many veteran ninjas even believe that Sasuke's strength is comparable to that of Madara Uchiha back in the day."

All three generations were dumbfounded.

He was very optimistic about Sasuke's future, believing that he would be no worse than Itachi Uchiha.

But no one expected that Yoru would say he was comparable to Madara Uchiha.

If that's the case, then the third generation quickly realized it.

He looked at Ye Yu. Yes, with Ye Yu around, so what if he really is comparable to Uchiha Madara?

With Yoru present, he could not pose any threat to Konoha.

Even if Sasuke were to reach Madara Uchiha's strength in the future, what difference would it make if Yoru, who could defeat even Hashirama Senju, were to be defeated?

Minato Namikaze also thought of this question: "From what you've said, Yoru, it seems like you're the strongest ninja in the world?"

Why do you seem to be completely unknown in the ninja world?

If people consider Sasuke to be the strongest ninja in the world, then what about Yoruha?

He didn't believe that Sasuke's strength hadn't reached that of Madara Uchiha, while Yoru's strength was enough to defeat Hashirama Senju, and Hashirama Senju could definitely suppress Madara Uchiha. Yet people actually thought that Sasuke was the strongest ninja in the world, which was very contradictory.

The Third Generation looked at Yoru with some confusion.

Yoru explained, "Since I became a Hokage's bodyguard, I haven't really carried out any missions. It's just that a lot has happened this year, and the village is short-handed, so Lady Tsunade sent me out to share some of the tasks."

"In the previous three years, I only carried out a few low-level missions. But in recent years, I have been known as the 'Medical Master' in the village. My medical ninjutsu is quite popular."

Minato Namikaze understood, but looking at Yoru, he sighed, "Since you're so strong, you should do more missions for the village. Only by accumulating a large number of missions will you have people supporting you if you become Hokage in the future."

The Third Generation looked at Yoru with a hint of helplessness.

He now knew what kind of person Ye Yu was.

I estimate that she has the same personality as Tsunade.

Yoru explained, "That's what Lady Tsunade did say, but I really have no interest in becoming Hokage. It's Naruto who keeps saying he wants to become Hokage."

"Lady Tsunade now wants to train Sasuke to become the Sixth Hokage."

The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, and even Minato Namikaze was somewhat surprised.

"Training Sasuke to become the Sixth Hokage? Did Tsunade say that?" the Third Hokage asked.

Yoru nodded. "Yes, and Sasuke does indeed have the ability and the prestige."

The Third Hokage thought for a moment, then sighed. "She probably wanted you to be the Sixth Hokage, but you didn't want to, right?"

Knowing Yoru's personality, the Third Hokage could easily guess that it was because Yoru refused to become the Sixth Hokage, leaving Tsunade with no choice but to train Sasuke instead.

Yoru did not refute.

The Third Hokage continued, "Very well, but I hope Sasuke can remain calm after learning the truth."

Yoru looked at the Third Hokage and deliberately asked, "The truth? What truth?"

Minato Namikaze also looked at the Third Hokage.

He died during the Nine-Tails' rampage and was unaware of the subsequent annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

The Third Hokage looked at Minato Namikaze and Yoru, thought for a moment, and then revealed the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

After he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze fell silent.

He couldn't believe that such a thing would happen in Konoha after his death.

The extermination of an entire clan is not uncommon in the ninja world, but this is the first time such an event has occurred in Konoha.

Yoru also fell silent. Although he knew the truth about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, he did not know the details.

After all, these details wouldn't be included in the original work.

After learning the details, Ye Yu was speechless.

"Lord Third Generation, the way you've handled this is really, how should I put it, to be blunt, really stupid."

The Third Hokage glanced at Yoru.

He smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect Danzo to give Itachi such an order. The key point is that Itachi didn't even inform me before he went to carry it out."

"By the time I found out, it was too late to stop it."

Minato Namikaze said with some shame, "If I hadn't died sealing the Nine-Tails back then, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have suffered such a fate."

That's true. If Minato Namikaze hadn't died, he could at least have clarified for the Uchiha clan that it wasn't the Uchiha clan controlling the Nine-Tails that caused the damage to Konoha.

Moreover, because he had a good relationship with Fugaku Uchiha, as long as the Uchiha clan wasn't suppressed too severely.

In reality, they didn't want to launch a power grab.

The Uchiha clan was definitely not war-crazed; ninjas like Obito and Madara were extremely rare.

Even if it's true, as Tobirama Senju said, that they awakened their Sharingan through drastic emotional changes.

But the Uchiha clan is the kind of family that will be satisfied as long as they make even the slightest concession.

After all, the Uchiha clan was not in a good position in Konoha, and was being watched and guarded against by other clans.

Regarding Tobirama Senju's claim that the Uchiha clan would cause harm to Konoha, has Konoha ever done so in the decades since its founding?

They've never done it even once. No matter how extreme or unconventional their methods are, it's an internal matter for them, and the harm they cause is to their own people.

What does it have to do with the rest of the village?

This can be seen from the fact that the Uchiha clan hasn't done anything significant in all these years.

Even when they were forced into that final situation, all they thought about was seizing power through a coup, not going to war with the village.

To put it bluntly, they wanted to reclaim the rights that rightfully belonged to them through a bloodless coup. Their target was the higher-ups in Konoha, and they never intended to target other clans or attack other ninjas in the village.

Compared to the ideas of the Uchiha clan's higher-ups, the ideas of the Konoha higher-ups were truly extreme.

They're quick to annihilate entire clans, as if ordinary members of the Uchiha clan, most of whom never awaken the Sharingan in their lifetime, and ordinary ninjas who have no right to participate in the Uchiha clan's high-level conspiracies, are not human.
