After hearing Naruto's remarks, Minato knew that Naruto was not feeling well at this time.

But the fact is that Minato is powerless to argue or change anything.

After a moment, Naruto seemed to have recovered his mood, looked at Minato again, and asked: "Speaking of which, dad, why did Chiba Shiraishi betray Konoha? I heard that he used to be Grandma Tsunade's student."

Although knowing these things, the already hostile mood towards the other party will become even worse.

But Naruto felt that the other party might have some deep-seated reasons for doing this.

For example, why did the other party leave Konoha, and why did he target Konoha and his parents, causing him to lose everything and become an orphan since he was a child?

At this time, Naruto realized that he actually knew nothing about the man 'Qianye Shiraishi'.

I have no idea about his past, his life, or his purpose.

Naruto hoped that Minato, as his father, could answer his questions.

Minato smiled happily that Naruto could ask this question. Being able to think of this level proved that Naruto had indeed grown in thinking.

I am no longer as dazed as before, I just know how to keep moving forward.

This is a very fatal weakness for ninjas.

So, he patted the side and motioned for Naruto to sit down.

"Sit down, Naruto, it may be a bit long. But if you want to know, I will tell you everything I know."

"yes."

Naruto sat obediently next to Minato, assuming a quiet posture of listening.

The Kyuubi on the other side of the wooden fence yawned very lazily, feeling bored by the behavior of Minato and Naruto, and slowly dozed off.

Seeing Naruto sit down, Minato prepared a sentence and slowly said:

"Actually, speaking of the grudge between him and Konoha, I think there are personal reasons, but it may also be related to his ambition of not wanting to be inferior to others."

Minato stated his speculation, and then continued to recall that it was an unknown past.

"First of all, in terms of personal grudges, something happened to him at the end of the Second Ninja War. At that time, Chiba Shiraishi, who was on the battlefield, fighting for the victory of the village and performing important S-level tasks, was once attacked

Betrayal by the village's top brass, and almost died at the hands of one of his own people."

Minato's straightforward words made Naruto widen his eyes in disbelief, thinking that he almost heard it wrong.

"Betrayed by the village's top brass... and almost died?"

Doesn't this mean that you were betrayed by your own people?

This surprised Naruto.

Minato nodded with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Yes, and what happened is much more than that. After I became Hokage, I also looked through some past files and learned more about the inside story. At that time, the top leaders of the village, the root leader Shimura Danzo, and

The relationship between the Uchiha clan was extremely bad, even to the point of being incompatible with each other. At that time, the Uchiha clan's most famous genius, Uchiha Ruri, who was Chiba Shiraishi's current wife, undoubtedly became a stumbling block in the eyes of Genbe.

We need to get rid of it quickly.”

Danzo.

It's Danzo again.

Naruto always felt that every major event that happened in Konoha seemed to be related to this sullen-faced old man named Danzo.

And because the relationship with the other family is very bad, he wants to kill the geniuses in the other family. This is really unreasonable in Naruto's opinion.

I don’t understand why people from the same village want to kill each other.

Ignoring Naruto's gradually agitated heart, Minato spoke again.

"In order to eliminate Uchiha Ruri, the potential Uchiha genius, during a special S-class mission, Genbe deliberately created false mission information to maliciously mislead Chiba Shiraishi's White Fang team to attack the wrong stronghold, thus leading to the fall into

Surrounded by the main force of the Sand Ninja."

"and after?"

Although he knew that the other party did not die in that operation, Naruto still couldn't help but ask.

How did the White Fang team escape from the crisis, and whether the village took appropriate remedial measures for this mistake.

"The specific situation is not clear. I only know that Chiba Shiraishi, together with his teammates at the time, Uchiha Ruri and Hinata Ayane, survived a narrow escape. And according to the subsequent investigation, it was not just Suna who was chasing the three of them at that time.

The main force of Shinobi, as well as the root ninjas who also belong to Konoha, also want to kill people and silence them."

Not only was there pressure from the Suna Ninja, but even the Konoha camp was unable to notify, because once formal channels were used to contact Konoha's ninja troops, the request for help would inevitably be intercepted by the ninjas at the base, making the situation even more dangerous.

In this unfavorable situation with enemies on all sides, the three of them still fought their way out and successfully returned to the Konoha camp... Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, Naruto could guess how dangerous the situation was at that time with just a few words.

"After this incident happened, there was a big commotion among the higher-ups. However, because the Third Generation came forward and personally apologized to the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, the incident was reluctantly suppressed, allowing the Uchiha and Hyuga clans to

Let bygones be bygones. And since it was during the war, we still had to rely on Danzo’s fundamental power, so the Third Generation only gave him a warning and did not severely punish Danzo in his subsequent treatment.”

After listening to Minato's narration, Naruto's expression became extremely complicated.

If Minato hadn't told it personally, he wouldn't have known that such a thing had happened in Konoha's past.

Betrayed by the ninjas from the same village and almost died at the hands of his own people, the Hokage gave a gentle warning to the murderer who killed the ninjas from the same village.

This is something that is difficult for anyone to accept.

He risked his life to fight for the victory of the village, but was betrayed by his companions. In the end, the murderer got away with it because of the protection of the Hokage, leaving the victim with no way to complain.

Naruto thought for a moment, if he had experienced such a thing, what choice would he make?

Such a beautiful village, full of practical significance, Naruto felt that his past knowledge was too shallow and ignorant.

Minato felt clearly what Naruto was feeling in his heart at this moment, but he didn't point it out and continued to talk about it.

"This matter was settled because Uchiha, Hinata, and the Third Generation made a compromise. However, the gap between Uchiha and the higher-ups widened again. As for Chiba Shiraishi, there was no mention of the subsequent handling of the mission.

...I guess I feel that there is no need to explain anything to a civilian ninja who has no identity and no knowledge."

Although this is in the name of protection, the other party is put aside to avoid being liquidated at the root.

Based on the situation at the time, Chiba Shiraishi had no knowledge of the matter and believed that he had been plotted by the Suna Ninja. In the mission report, he was also "unconscious throughout the entire process."

But the decision-making at the top level itself is full of favoritism issues, and this is the key factor that ultimately makes the problem bigger.

"Then the White Fang suicide incident broke out... Well, you should have learned something about this matter from the mouth of the jounin named Yamato. I won't go into details about the details. I can only tell you, Kakashi

Behind the suicide of Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo, the father of Konoha, there is indeed the shadow of Danzo's control, and the inaction and indulgence of the third generation of adults, allowing the rumors to expand, leading to this tragedy."

Naruto silently wrote down these things, maybe he was used to it, and as he continued to hear these things, he didn't feel as depressed as he did at the beginning.

"These two incidents probably had a huge impact on Chiba Shiraishi, but no one was aware of it at the time. Even the Third Generation Master was later perfectly deceived by him. After all, at that time, he

He has no reputation in the ninja world, and his abilities are very ordinary except for medical ninjutsu. He is also a civilian, so the senior officials will not pay too much attention to such a ninja who is of ordinary origin and ability."

When Minato said this, he changed the topic slightly:

"You will know what happened next. He later incited some of the Uchiha and Hinata tribesmen to successfully escape from Konoha in the early stages of the Third Ninja War. Later, the Sandaime sent search troops many times to find their whereabouts.

Nothing was found. It wasn’t until the Wind Kingdom War six years ago that we found out that the three of them had been hiding in the Kingdom of Demons after leaving Konoha.”

Unfortunately, Konoha, which had experienced the Third Ninja War at that time, was already weak.

Coupled with the sacrifice of the Fourth Hokage, Kumogakure subsequently launched an attack on Konoha, making Konoha's situation even worse.

Facing the rapidly rising Demon Country, even after joining forces with Sunagakure, it ended in a disastrous defeat.

"Dad, these things are top secret information that cannot be spread outside the village."

Naruto said this.

"Well, because the people and things involved are too complicated, generally speaking, they will not be dealt with publicly. However, in my time, the village's intelligence collection on him was not as detailed as it is now. Regardless of whether I

, even the senior management, at that time they only thought that he was the follower behind Uchiha Ruri, and that the relationship between the two went beyond friendship, but they did not realize at all that he was probably the one who had the dominant say."

Minato sighed.

Ninjas are good at disguise, which is an excellent talent in itself.

It's really uncomfortable to be deceived, but given the situation at the time, if Chiba Shiraishi behaved slightly wrong, he would end up in an irreversible end and become a victim of the political struggle between the top management and the Uchiha clan.

Regardless, the Sandaime might imprison the other party for life in the name of 'protection'.

But Danzo will definitely send people to directly eliminate Shiraishi, the 'insider', and there will be no second option.

"Although I still hate Chiba Shiraishi, because he caused our family to be unable to truly reunite... But from the perspective of an enemy, what he did was reasonable. At that time, whether he was a rebellious ninja or

The Five Kages who are enemies of the country are all very afraid of me, the newly appointed Fourth Hokage. Once the appeasement policy that the Third Hokage has implemented to the end is lifted by me, coupled with my unique space and time ninjutsu, it will be a threat to any party.

Not a good thing."

Minato scratched his forehead in distress. Although it seemed like he was boasting, that was indeed the situation at that time.

At that time, the Third Ninja World War had reached its final stage. Due to his abilities, all parties were afraid of his space-time ninjutsu. It was as if Konoha's second-generation Hokage had been resurrected and became the fastest ninja in the ninja world of that era.

of good reputation.

"I think it is because Qianba Shiraishi has such scruples that he wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. But I didn't expect that he would make a fuss about your mother for the second time. He knows my weaknesses very well.

, also knows how to deal with me, there is such a terrible enemy in the secret... To be honest, thinking about it now, I still have a cold sweat."
