"Ah, reconciliation? Do you believe that everything can be reconciled?"
"Why don't you start by telling me about your beloved son? How is he faring in the village? Do you really want to know?"
"Right now, apart from Grandpa Hokage, he has no friends whatsoever and is perpetually bullied. The only title he carries is the dreadful name of 'Demon Fox.' He can't even purchase anything and sometimes consumes expired food. He is detested by everyone in the village, and the villagers drive him away."
"When I found him, he was still being targeted, ha ha ha."
Uchiha Naraku continued to speak derisively.
"The Fourth Hokage gave his life for the village. After giving himself and his wife, his son is living a life worse than that of livestock."
"Now even your own son is made to sacrifice for Konoha. It's really remarkable to be a crucial pawn of Konoha."
Sensing the turmoil outside, Uchiha Naraku extended his arms and said, "Now the destruction has initiated; hehehe~ I just unleashed the Nine Tails in the crowd. What do you think will occur to your son's reputation after this incident if no one manages to control him quickly?"
"Do you wish to inquire with the villagers if they are open to accepting your son among them? Are they interested in reconciling?"
As long as emotions exist, as long as pain exists, hatred will unswervingly persist, even if it is momentarily concealed.
Currently, Uzumaki Naruto is embroiled in something of this nature. The animosity directed towards him will always be quite apparent, more than ever before.
"You are insane, even if it's like this..." Namikaze Minato felt somewhat anxious as well. He desired to argue against it but found himself unable to articulate anything. He was also aware of the kind of life his son was enduring in the outside world and how a Jinchūriki was perceived.
Yet even so, he did not want occurrences like the Nine Tails' rampage to unfold in the village.
Gazing at the twisted expression of the individual in front of him, Minato realized that this was not someone who could be easily swayed.
Then fight? He wasn't certain either. Looking at the Mangekyō Sharingan before him, he doubted what he could accomplish even within this space.
"Those individuals forced all of this. Uchiha has no retreat. Sarutobi Hiruzen has already initiated the planning for the mission to eradicate us," Uchiha Naraku stated; although it hadn't transpired yet, it was undoubtedly in the works.
Namikaze Minato was taken aback. He had never anticipated that the Third would undertake such actions.
Naraku remarked scornfully, "That's the reality, whether you accept it or not. When you encounter the Third in the afterlife, you can question him why he never took any of the Uchiha's invitations to discuss improved terms, or why the Uchiha were marginalized to the fringes of Konoha and their role diminished to that of police officers, or why he never made an effort to dispel the false allegations that the Uchiha were responsible for the Nine Tails attack."
Uchiha Naraku stated coldly, "I'm giving you one last warning. If you want to keep your son safe, you'd better vanish. I trust you will make a wise decision."
Namikaze Minato's expression shifted. "Hey, we are all citizens of Konoha. I hope you can be more reasonable. I won't intervene, but I ask you to make sure Naruto remains safe and that Konoha doesn't suffer excessively. The regular villagers are still innocent."
Regarding the Uchiha, he felt powerless. When he first became the Fourth Hokage, he considered collaborating with the Uchiha to improve their relationship, but then he unexpectedly died without warning.
As for the ordinary villagers, even though he recognized they hadn't treated his son well, he held little resentment.
However, he cannot protect anyone at this moment.
'I just wish for Konoha not to disappear because of this.'
Minato didn't vanish but continued to watch.
It was indeed quite chaotic. The two of them refrained from interrupting each other, which allowed Uchiha Naraku to concentrate more on the situation outside.
Outside, Uzumaki Naruto's appearance had shifted dramatically, transforming into a bald fox with eight tails. His body had also grown significantly, and his large, fox-like eyes had morphed into the shape of the Sharingan.
[Ding, Namikaze Minato fears you and finds you too extreme. Congratulations to Host for receiving the reward: Flying Thunder God Technique, Namikaze Minato's special kunai, and space-time ninjutsu talent.]
Uchiha Naraku received the notification and displayed a pleased smile. 'He truly deserves the title of Fourth Hokage. The system provided some excellent rewards immediately.'
'I have directly acquired the Flying Thunder God technique, and I possess some special kunai in my possession. Now I simply need to place the special mark on it to use it.'
This can be viewed as an enhancement of his combat efficiency, although the impact wouldn't be as significant until his body recuperates.
"Go to hell." The Anbu outside understood they needed to eliminate Uchiha Naraku.
While blocking Naruto, who had transformed into Eight Tails, some members diverged from the main group to confront him.
"Your opponent is not me."
Confronted by foes from every direction, Naraku remained still. The massive fox nearby unleashed another tail and fully transformed into the Nine Tails demon fox.
Its terrifying chakra tail swept across the area, sending the nearby Anbu who were struck flying.
A few individuals evaded the assault and fell under the influence of Uchiha Naraku's Sharingan.
"I do not have the time to waste with you. The fascinating events have only just commenced."
Following the resolution of the matter with Namikaze Minato, he can now effortlessly command the Nine Tails. Uchiha Naraku leaped upwards, gripping his cane, and settled on the head of the Nine Tails, intending to steer it to strike and eradicate the leadership of Konoha.
