In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group

[Uzumaki Kushina: Yes, it seems that the Lord Third is very concerned about the safety of Naruto]

Seeing what Minato and Kushina had said, Makoto couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain.

[Ito Makoto: It's as you say! He is very protective. Did you see the anbu ninjas protecting your son?]

[Though Lord Hokage doesn't play much of a role in Naruto's life, he is certainly very concerned about his "mental health". He often goes to Naruto's house to "talk" with him alone. I have to say, he is really going to great lengths to take "good care" of your son!]

When Minato and Kushina heard his words, they frowned, not fully understanding what Makoto meant.

[Makoto Ito: Let me remind you for one last time, be mentally prepared!]

[Namikaze Minato: What are you talking about? Why do we need to prepare ourselves mentally?]

[Uzumaki Kushina: Makoto, what do you mean by your words?]

[Makoto Ito: Do you remember what I told you before? Your loved ones may not be doing as well as you imagine!]

With that, Makoto stopped speaking and leisurely strolled not far from Naruto, as if he were simply taking a walk, without the slightest hint of following him.

The Anbu ninjas didn't pay much attention to Ito Makoto as he was just a kid from the ninja school.

Soon, the group members noticed a strange scene. All the pedestrians on the street seemed to be avoiding Uzumaki Naruto like the plague. No one was willing to give him a kind look.

Even when they saw Naruto approaching, they hurriedly steered clear of him, muttering curses under their breath.

The most outrageous moment came when someone spat in Naruto's direction.

"Hey, the demon fox boy is out again. Get out of the way!"

"I really don't know what the Hokage is thinking, letting us live with this demon!"

At this moment, a little girl ran up to Naruto, but her mother quickly appeared and yanked her away.

"How many times have I told you! Stay away from that thing!"

Naruto showed no reaction at all, as if he had grown completely accustomed to this kind of treatment.

Minato and Kushina were dumbfounded upon seeing their son being treated so harshly.

Previously, the two had believed that Naruto carried the surname Uzumaki to hide his true identity. Firstly, to conceal the fact that he was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, as the Nine-Tails was an incredibly valuable force to the village. Secondly, to keep his identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage a secret, since Minato had many enemies in the ninja world. They thought all of this had been done with Naruto's protection in mind.

But now, they realized that things weren't as they had thought.

Why did everyone in the village seem to know about Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, yet no one seemed to be aware that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage?

The couple couldn't believe what they were witnessing!

[Namikaze Minato: What the hell is going on?]

[Uzumaki Kushina: Minato, could it be... Is this the kind of life Naruto has been living since he was a child?]

[Makoto Ito: To be honest, I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but I have to say, Naruto is actually doing pretty well now. His life was much harder when he was younger than it is now!]

[Namikaze Minato: Why? What is this? What is Lord third doing? I don't think I've ever done something wrong! I even gave my own life for the village! Why is my son being treated like this?]

[Ito Makoto: Let me be clear with you!

Without Lord Third and Danzo, Naruto's life would definitely be much better than it is now!]

[Namikaze Minato: What do you mean?! Speak clearly!]

[Makoto Ito: You sealed the Nine-Tails into Naruto's body. How many people knew about this? Apart from you, Kushina and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who else could possibly know? Even if others did, they were probably all high-ranking villagers.]

[Without the consent of the Lord Third, how did it become common knowledge that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?]

[Namikaze Minato: But... but... but I just don't understand! What good could this possibly do for the Lord Third?]

[Makoto Ito: Stop trying to find a reason to deny the truth, you damn pineapple head!]

[Who else could it be but them? Even if someone else really wanted to spread the news, as the hokage and an elder of the village , Hiruzen and Danzo should be able to control public opinion, right?]

[Couldn't they have kept this news hidden entirely? And what does this do for them? The benefits to him are huge!]

[First, if Naruto assumes the identity of the Jinchuriki, everyone in the village will hate him. Then think about it, if a person who is nice to Naruto suddenly appears, don't you think Naruto would become dependent on them?]

[That's where Sarutobi comes in! He visits Naruto once a month, gives him some pocket money, and creates a stark contrast with everyone else. In the future, when Naruto grows up, won't the power of Nine Tails be under his control?]

[As for Danzo, there's no need for a explanation!]

[Namikaze Minato: This is impossible! This can't be happening! Lord Third, how could he do something like this to my son?]

[Makoto Ito: Ha! Why do you think Naruto doesn't have the last name Namikaze?]

[Namikaze Minato: Why?]

At this moment, Tobirama, who had been silent for some time, spoke up.

[Senju Tobirama: It's because Namikaze Minato is the hero who sealed the Nine Tails and you were the Fourth Hokage. You have many supporters! Do you understand? ]

[If Naruto had the last name Namikaze, no one would hate him! He might even be regarded as a hero's son.]

[In that case, how would Sarutobi be able to highlight his own uniqueness in Naruto's eyes?]

[And Danzo would have an easy time targeting Naruto if he was hated by the whole village. The only obstacle preventing him from taking Naruto would be Hiruzen.]

[So, Naruto must remain just the Jinchuriki who is hated by everyone in the village. He can never be seen as the son of a hero. Do you understand now?]

Tobirama's analysis was precise.

After learning about the death of Hizashi, the destruction of the Uchiha clan, and the downfall of the Senju clan, Tobirama had become even more clear about his former disciples' intentions!

After seeing Tobirama's messages, Minato's faith completely shattered.

[Namikaze Minato: Why? Just why! Damn it all! I was the Hokage of this village and I have dedicated everything to this village, including my life and even my wife's.]

[WHY IS MY SON TREATED THIS WAY?! WHAT DID HE EVEN DO WRONG?!!]
