Naruto spoke up, "My mother, my clan and my ancestors were loyal comrades and helped to protect this village for many years and made selfless sacrifices to do so. In the end, their sacrifices were spat on and forgotten. No one here has any proof of an Uzumaki turning traitor and rebelling against this village after becoming a Jinchuuriki. There's an old saying that I was taught: "Those who abandon the mission are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash." That's the way I view most in the room except Jiisan and Hiashi. All I see is that the council in general did everything they could to keep me under their leash like an unwanted stray dog and denied me a life with a regular family, clan status or not."
Tsume flinched at Naruto's choice of words concerning dogs. Naruto turned to the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and said, "While I appreciate how you three moved to try to adopt me into your clan, I'm just as angry at the three of you for not doing anything further on my behalf considering that you three knew my father and learned that I was his son years ago. Hyuuga Hiashi, who didn't know I was Yondaime's son did a whole lot more for me than anyone else in this room besides Jiisan. Regardless of how everyone viewed me, he welcomed me as a surrogate member of the Main House of his clan and family. I grew to acknowledge and respect him and I grew very close and attached to his daughters. I love them both and see them as among those who are precious to me. I seek to protect them with my life and I'll do so with everyone else I consider my family and friends."
Naruto turned to look at Danzo and continued, "But did I turn traitor and rebel against Konoha? No, I did not! Did the Hyuuga Clan rise up in rebellion against Konoha using my loyalty as their key instrument to control me in their rebellion? No, such a thing never happened! Therefore the council's reasons for denying me from being adopted into a clan willing to take me in are unfounded and vicious.
"If anything mummy man, your logic and way of doing things would have guaranteed I turned traitor and eventually turn on you before sharing my wrath and hate with the rest of the village. It's because of the bonds I developed over the years with Hinata-chan, Hanabi-chan, Jiisan and a few others that I didn't become the very monster you all tried to make my out to be.
"Furthermore, the gross hypocrisy of the council higher-ups is disgusting!"
"Watch your mouth boy! We've allowed you to speak your mind but you will not openly disrespect us before the rest of the members in this room," Koharu warned.
Naruto turned to her, Homura, and Danzo and sneered, "Neither you and the other two at that table have earned my respect or trust so I'll say whatever I want! Furthermore, it was you three who betrayed the Uzumaki Clan in the first place by erasing all of my clan's history and ties they had with this village because your egos couldn't accept how Konoha failed to help save them from enemy nations that sought to destroy them! You three tried to cover it up by having no one of my generation learn that my clan exist! In actuality, a lot of the seals and techniques this village uses belong to my clan! Hell, the symbol sewn on the back of every Chuunin's vest is my clan's symbol! And the technique used to seal Kyuubi away? That belongs to us, too!
"With Honoka-nee here now, all of the villagers since yesterday have been demanding explanations for the existence of another Uzumaki. By burying the truth about the existence of the Uzumaki Clan and what we're capable of, you three have dug a massive hole for yourselves. When the truth comes out, many villagers will not trust you anymore. You guys caused this damage, and only you guys can fix it."
Homura, Koharu, and Danzo weren't happy at how Naruto learned the truth and was now exposing it. But they knew he was right in that the villagers have been seeking an explanation about Honoka's presence and they knew that since Honoka was found by Naruto, chances are that he'll in time possibly find other Uzumaki survivors as Honoka stated. They also knew that Honoka was right in that if all of the Uzumaki are wiped out, no other person will be able to contain Kyuubi, and the creature will have free reign to wreak havoc again. There was no way around it; their thirteen year cover up backfired.
For the civilian council, it was far more than what they were bargaining for, as so many revelations and truths behind Naruto's background was revealed to them. They found out that the very boy they scorned and mistreated for years happened to be the son of their late Yondaime. They wanted to refuse to believe it but there was no denying that they along with the majority of the villagers cruelly victimized the only son of Yondaime for something that was never his fault and how they ultimately disrespected Yondaime and the Uzumaki Clan who he became part of through marriage to Kushina. The shame and disgrace they felt was paramount.
