Chapter 555 Still Don't Want to Know?
Qian Yao slowly spoke:
"However, it's a real pity... Due to your momentary negligence, one of your students has completely turned to the dark side and not only cruelly murdered you and Kushina."
"He also conspired with others to cause the complete annihilation of the Uchiha clan!"
"After your death, all of your and Kushina's inheritance was embezzled by the Third Hokage. Naruto was brainwashed by the Third Hokage's spirit from a young age."
"Not only did he physically abuse Naruto, but he also controlled him mentally. Now he has been raised like a dog by the Third Hokage."
"And your students later sparked the Fourth Shinobi World War, an extremely brutal war that killed 70,000 shinobi."
"More than 90% of the ninjas in the entire ninja world have died, and the ninja world is on the verge of destruction."
"So……"
Are you sure you still don't want to know the truth?
"Wh...what!?"
Upon hearing this, Minato felt his mind go blank, as if his computer had crashed instantly.
Even Naruto, who was standing to the side, was stunned and completely dumbfounded.
When he heard someone say that he had been raised like a dog by the Third Hokage, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.
He was so angry that his face turned red, his hands clenched into fists, and he kept shouting:
"What nonsense are you spouting! Who's been raised like a dog!"
"My great-grandfather would never do such a thing!"
Seeing Naruto's uncontrollable rage, Chiyo couldn't help but sneer, raised his hand, and then mercilessly smacked Naruto on the head, saying with a hint of mockery:
"Hmph, you're all grown up now, how come you're still so simple-minded and stupid?"
“The village is full of secret agents; they're everywhere. How could they not know you're being bullied and mistreated?”
Chiyo stared sharply at Naruto, his tone playful.
"Have you ever wondered why, every time you get beaten up, the Third Hokage always seems to appear right beside you, offering comfort and care?"
"Is all of this just a coincidence?"
Chiyo continued to press Naruto, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
"And also, whenever you are starving, freezing, and desperate, the Third Hokage will always appear before you like a savior and give you some money."
"Not only will it keep you from starving on the streets, but it will also make you feel grateful to him."
"But have you ever wondered why the Third Hokage always seems to appear right next to you by chance?"
Chiyo's words struck Naruto's heart like a series of heavy hammer blows.
Naruto was sixteen years old at this time, but he was still carefree and absent-minded.
But there is no defect or problem with his intelligence.
However, faced with Chiyo's ruthless revelation of the truth, Naruto was instantly stunned and completely dumbfounded.
Furthermore, he spent increasingly longer periods in deep thought, clearly lost in his own thoughts.
The situation became chaotic because of the facts revealed before us, and logic seemed to completely crash at this moment, unable to function properly.
"If you still firmly believe that the Third Hokage was a kind-hearted person, then you might as well ask your father."
"How much wealth did Kushina Uzumaki leave behind?"
"Or do you think that the legacy of the Fourth Hokage won't be enough to support you?"
"So you'll be left to go hungry, like the orphan of a hero?"
After a brief pause, Qianyao added:
"Oh, right, I should remind you that Kushina Uzumaki is your biological mother."
"And the reason you have the surname Whirlpool is also derived from her surname."
"Didn't you think the Third Hokage was the best when you were a kid?!" Chiyo looked at Naruto with a serious expression.
"If the Third Hokage were still alive, wouldn't you be a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy under him?"
These words sent a shiver down Naruto's spine.
Naruto clutched his head tightly with both hands, his face ashen. He felt a wave of dizziness, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.
The Third Hokage was once so great and kind in his heart.
But now these beautiful images have been shattered by Qianyao's words.
Naruto's heart was filled with pain and confusion; he didn't know how to face this cruel reality.
Minato, standing to the side, looked utterly astonished.
He has always felt that he bears a heavy responsibility and is willing to give everything to protect his village and family.
However, at this moment, Qianyao's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart.
I never expected that my efforts would result in this way.
Was all my persistence wrong all along?
Minato steadied himself and tried to calm down.
He looked at Qian Yao and asked, his voice slightly hoarse:
"Who are you? Which of my students did these things?"
"Furthermore, what makes you think that what you're saying is true?"
Despite Minato's suspicions about the mysterious person before him.
But the other person was able to call him by name immediately, and judging from the tone of their voice, it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
Therefore, Minato couldn't help but wonder if this person might be a friend of one of the Uchiha clan members he would make in the future.
After all, the Uchiha clan has now largely chosen to support him as the Fourth Hokage.
It's normal to have a friend in the future.
Chiyo did not immediately respond to Minato's words, but slowly turned his head to Choza beside him.
A hint of mockery appeared on his face, and he began to criticize mercilessly:
"Oh my, this is really unexpected! You're so young, only in your early twenties, how did you get so fat?"
After saying that, he shook his head, seemingly quite helpless about Ding Zuo's current physique.
Then, Qianyao continued to tease:
"Take off that mask, Ding Zuo. Look at your fat body, do you think you can fool anyone with a mask on?"
Judging from his tone, he and Ding Zuo were very familiar with each other.
After all, not long ago, they fought side by side on that smoke-filled battlefield.
Turning her gaze, Qianyao then looked at Zhiwei standing next to Dingzuo, and couldn't help but start her吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism) mode as well:
"And you, Zhiwei! Look at the conspicuous equipment you're carrying on your back."
"It's like you're afraid people won't know who you are. Your disguise is really terrible!"
Indeed, compared to Minato's relatively common physique in the ninja world, Choza and Shiki's appearances are far too famous.
Their attempt to conceal their identities through simple disguises was undoubtedly redundant.
Moreover, Qianyao was well aware that they would become Hokage and clan heads respectively in the future.
Their purpose in coming together to carry out this mission is self-evident.
It's actually quite simple to guess Minato's identity.
