Naruto: Set a goal, conquer the universe.

Page 21

The Uchiha clan, at Sasuke and Naruto's home.

"What?" Sasuke couldn't maintain his cool guy persona anymore, his face contorted as he stared at Naruto.

Hinata was so surprised that her mouth was slightly open and she couldn't close it for a long time.

"You're saying you're the son of the Fourth Hokage?" Sasuke still couldn't believe it.

His brother, who was originally just a commoner, suddenly became someone of higher status than him.

This was something he found hard to accept at first.

"Tell me, you're joking with me, aren't you?" Sasuke grabbed Naruto's collar, his eyes red.

"Lying is wrong, and we must never damage our own character."

"Although, unfortunately, it's true," Naruto said, scratching his head.

"I'm tired. Let's destroy it." Sasuke lowered his hand, his face filled with desolation.

"Haha, let's go! I'll treat you guys to ramen this time!" Naruto said, patting his chest with gusto.

He just received a huge inheritance.

"I'll eat you out of house and home!" Sasuke said viciously.

"Hehe." Hinata covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched Naruto and Sasuke playfully fighting.

When the Third Hokage officially announced that "Naruto Uzumaki is actually the son of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki".

The entire Hidden Leaf Village was like a still lake tossed with a giant rock; it was first deathly silent, then a monstrous wave surged forth.

The villagers who had once looked at Naruto with disgust were plunged into great confusion and guilt.

In the taverns and along the streets, groups of people with shocked expressions could be seen everywhere.

"That blond brat... he's actually the Fourth Hokage's child?!"

“What have we done to the son of a hero all these years… throwing stones at him, insulting him, avoiding him like the plague…” someone covered his face and squatted in the corner, his voice trembling.

"No wonder his hair is as dazzling as the Fourth Hokage's..."

The women, clutching their children, wept uncontrollably: "Lord Minato and Lady Kushina sacrificed themselves for the village, but her son... I'm so sorry, Lord Minato..."

A strong sense of shame permeated the ordinary villagers. Many people spontaneously brought food and clothing to Naruto's simple apartment, only to find the door tightly closed and a mountain of gifts piled up at the entrance.

The vegetable shop owner who used to be most hostile to Naruto now faithfully places the freshest vegetables at his door every day, bows deeply to the door, and leaves.

Kakashi leaned against the memorial stone, unusually not watching "Icha Icha Paradise," his fingers lightly tracing the name of his teacher Minato, a bittersweet smile curving his lips beneath the mask.

"Teacher, did you see that? He's grown up... and become stronger."

Kai was also extremely shocked when he heard the news. He never expected that the thin child from back then was actually the Fourth Hokage's child.

"I never imagined that Naruto was actually the son of the Fourth Hokage. This is truly astonishing," Lee said, looking equally surprised.

Xiao Li is also Kai Shou's disciple, not just a student in charge of a class.

Therefore, Naruto, who joined the sect first, became his senior.

Neji remained silent for a moment, talking about Hinata training with Naruto.

It's no secret in the Hyuga family after all this time.

He initially felt ashamed.

As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, it was truly incomprehensible to him that she would follow an outsider, and a commoner at that, to cultivate.

Are the teachings of the Hyuga clan's highly skilled ninjas, or even the clan leader, inferior to those of a commoner?

Later, he got into a fight with a civilian named Naruto.

The split is 30/70.

Naruto's three punches forced him to rest for seven days.

This was because Naruto held back.

This puzzled him. How could an ordinary person have such great strength?

"I see. Fate is ultimately predetermined," Neji said calmly.

Since Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, it's not surprising.

Tenten was a little confused after hearing Neji's words.

Upon hearing this news, Hiashi Hyuga's usually serious face broke into a rare smile.

There was no way he could hide the fact that Hinata was training with Naruto and Sasuke from him.

He had been annoyed for a long time that Hinata preferred to train with outsiders rather than at home.

He even reprimanded Hinata, forbidding her from training with Naruto and Sasuke anymore.

After Naruto found out, he personally went to the Hyuga clan.

That day, a small portion of the Hyuga family's house collapsed, and outsiders had no idea what had happened.

Moreover, afterwards, the Third Hokage personally visited the Hyuga clan.

Hinata will then be able to continue training with Naruto.

"The Third Hokage actually revealed Naruto's identity."

"Dad, you already knew?" Shikamaru and Shikaku were playing chess.

"Hmm." Shikaku simply replied, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. Why would the Third Hokage suddenly spread this news?

Doesn't he know what will happen to Naruto if he does this?

But soon, he thought of the bottomless pit outside the village, the site that had altered the terrain.

He thought of an unbelievable situation.

Could it be that Naruto did that?

"Shikamaru, do you know how strong Naruto is?" Shikaku suddenly asked.

"I can only say it's very strong, unfathomably strong. I can't see through it at all," Shikamaru said lazily.

It's great that Naruto is this strong; maybe he can finally relax and not have to work anymore.

"Is that so?" Shikaku smiled.

So Naruto has become so strong that the Third Hokage can rest assured?

An underground building somewhere in Konoha.

"What on earth happened to Hiruzen that he revealed Naruto's identity?" Danzo gritted his teeth.

He always wanted to bring Naruto into the Root organization and train him into a war machine.

Therefore, when he announced that Naruto was the Nine-Tails, he didn't dare to reveal Naruto's true identity.

Since Naruto's identity has been revealed, he definitely can't recruit Naruto into Root.

However, the Third Hokage has now directly revealed Naruto's identity, catching him completely off guard.

"Hiding Naruto's identity is something Hiruzen has always insisted on doing; he wouldn't reveal Naruto's identity for no reason."

"Someone, find out what happened."

“Yes,” a Root ninja said, kneeling on one knee.

After much pleading and cajoling, the soft-hearted Third Hokage, out of consideration for their bond, restored Danzo's control over Root.

After Naruto and his friends finished their ramen and walked home, the villagers on the way all looked at him with complicated expressions.

Naruto knew that the Third Hokage had already spread the news.

"That was fast," Naruto remarked.

Suddenly, a figure wielding a kunai rushed towards Naruto.

That was a Konoha Chunin; no one expected that a ninja would suddenly attack Naruto.

Immediately, gasps of surprise rang out from their mouths.

"Naruto-sama, be careful."

"Damn it, how dare you hurt the Fourth Hokage's son!"

The villagers were extremely nervous.

Chapter 33 Classification

Inagaki Junta is a spy planted in Konoha by the Iwagakure Village.

He has been spreading information he can gather for the Hidden Stone Village.

But today he heard earth-shattering news.

The deceased Fourth Hokage actually had an orphan.

And that monster that the entire Hidden Leaf Village loathed.

This struck him as absurd at one point.

But since the news came from the Hokage's office, he couldn't help but believe it.

It's unclear whether the Third Hokage was out of his mind or suddenly lost his temper when he leaked such important information.

But he won't be polite.

His father died at the hands of the Fourth Hokage.

Now that he has the chance to kill his orphan, he will avenge his father, even if it means death!

What he regretted most was that he had lived in Konoha for so long without discovering Naruto's identity.

Otherwise, he would have already taken action.

Whether he is exposed or not is irrelevant. If he can kill the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, then he is a hero of Iwagakure and will surely be remembered in history.

Who would have thought that the son of the Hokage would become a monster hated by the entire village?

"You're just a newly graduated genin. You're going to die this time." Inagaki Junta grinned maliciously.

He's a Chunin; if he attacks with all his might and launches a sneak attack, Naruto will surely die.

As expected, the Hokage's son could only turn his head slightly to look at him; that was already the limit of his reaction.

The difference between a genin and a chunin is quite significant!

Inagaki Junta coughed up blood and moved away from Naruto.

Naruto had no interest in even making a move against a Chunin-level spy.

Hinata slowly withdrew her hand, a cold killing intent flashing in her pale eyes.

Unforgivable! How dare they hurt Naruto!

Her palm strike just now injected chakra into the spy's body, damaging his meridians; he's now crippled.

Hinata is usually very gentle, but if someone tries to hurt Naruto, she becomes a completely different person.

Naruto glanced at the spy, and sure enough, as soon as his identity was revealed, some people couldn't sit still.

He had come to understand the Third Hokage's actions.

It was right for the third-generation grandfather to hide his identity.

If he had been assassinated like this when he was a child, there would have been nothing he could do except have someone protect him.

Or they'll be like a caged bird, staying in one place and never going out.

In comparison, he was able to run around and train everywhere in Konoha when he was a child, and enjoy a free life, which was already quite wonderful.

As for the villagers' disdain and sarcasm, just ignore them or retaliate.

"Let's go," Naruto said.

Sasuke and Hinata went back with him.

Soon, members of the secret service arrived, grabbed Inagaki Junta, and took him away.

There are ways to deal with spies.
