After Sasuke was slapped, he felt his body completely recover.
This healing effect was truly terrifying, but the method of treatment was also somewhat difficult for him to accept.
"Sir Yang!"
"Very good, full of spirit."
Yang Tao stood up and looked at Naruto. At this moment, Naruto was at the end of his rope. Without Sasuke's life-saving boost, he wouldn't have been able to unleash the Nine-Tails' power.
Naruto's health was constantly recovering, which was a very unusual existence in this ninja world.
"Truly spirited..."
Watching Naruto grow stronger with each passing moment, Yang Tao couldn't help but sigh. His body vanished from its spot and reappeared behind Naruto. Although Naruto didn't see Yang Tao's figure, his beast-like instincts still controlled him to turn and attack the spot behind him.
However, Naruto's attacks were good, but they still couldn't break through the quantum suit's defense.
If Naruto, who was still a Genin, could really break through his defense with a single punch, then Yang Tao would definitely go back without a second thought and dismantle everything from the Industrial 2 mod into parts to give to the Tinkers Construct Blacksmith as raw materials.
"Stop, Haku."
Haku, who had already appeared beside Naruto, stopped throwing Kunai.
Naruto relentlessly swung his fists, but when his fists were about to hit Yang Tao, they were blocked by an invisible force, and the stronger the force he used, the more solid the blocking force became.
"Is that enough?"
"I won't give up..."
Looking at Naruto's resolute and serious expression, Yang Tao showed a faint smile and said, "What? Can you also fight with me for a whole day?"
Naruto, the Konoha team leader, heard Yang Tao's teasing words, pulled a Kunai from his backpack, and quickly stabbed at Yang Tao's body.
A hand chop landed on Naruto's head.
+120
"Uzumaki Naruto, you've already died once."
Naruto crouched on the ground, clutching his head and frantically rubbing the spot Yang Tao had hit, saying, "You...who exactly are you? How do you know my name?"
"Kakashi just called your names... I'm not deaf."
Yang Tao looked towards the forest, where rumbling sounds occasionally came from—that was Zabuza and Kakashi's battlefield.
'Is Kakashi that persistent?'
He wasn't worried about Zabuza's safety at all, because he had already told Zabuza Kakashi's weakness. If Zabuza still couldn't defeat Kakashi after that, then it could only mean that Zabuza's Jonin title was given as a bonus for topping up his phone.
What Hatake 50-50 Split! A joke!
Sasuke had already realized that Yang Tao had no intention of killing them. He walked over to Sakura and asked expressionlessly, "How are you?"
Sakura, who had been sent flying by Yang Tao's slap, was currently in a daze, her mind unable to process what was happening before her eyes.
"I... I'm fine. Kakashi-sensei, he..."
"Kakashi-sensei, he..."
Sasuke wanted to say that he would definitely win, but thinking of the 'kidney-deficient man' Yang Tao mentioned, he lost his confidence. This mission had dealt him a heavy blow; he hadn't expected to face a complete wipeout on his first time leaving the village.
He could only say it was fortunate that the other party had no intention of killing them. This feeling of powerlessness made his heart yearn for immense strength.
Soon, Naruto recovered from the damage of the hand chop and looked at Yang Tao again.
Bang...
+120
Naruto's body was slammed hard into the ground. It hurt, but he wasn't injured...
A very contradictory feeling.
"Kid, do you want to experience the feeling of your worldview being shattered?"
Yang Tao was like a demon from the Nether, slowly luring Naruto into the abyss.
Naruto groggily pulled himself out of the pit: "What is a worldview?"
"Normally, it refers to your worldview, outlook on life, and values. But what I mean is changing your original perception of Konoha. Are you interested in learning more?"
Naruto stared at Yang Tao with innocent eyes and loudly said, "Hmph, I won't believe the nonsense you're saying!"
"Oh? Really? I don't believe it!"
Yang Tao walked to a nearby tree shade, took out an office chair from his backpack, sat on it, and said to Haku, "Go see how Zabuza is. Remember, I want him alive!"
"Yes, sir."
Haku's figure instantly vanished from the spot.
Naruto saw Haku disappear and immediately said anxiously to Sasuke, "Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei is in danger..."
Sasuke gave Naruto a speechless glance and calmly said, "We are in more danger than Kakashi-sensei right now, and I've already decided to follow this guy. He can make me stronger."
Hearing his words, Naruto's face showed an incredulous expression as he looked at Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, you dolt, I won't let you leave with this unknown person."
Clearly, Naruto, who hadn't awakened Kotoamatsukami, didn't have the ability to turn black into white.
At this moment, Yang Tao interrupted Naruto: "Naruto, what did Sasuke do wrong? He just wants to improve too much."
A steaming cup of Seer Tea appeared in his hand. Looking at Naruto, he smiled slightly and said, "Naruto, do you know who your parents are?"
This question made Naruto, who was about to run to Sasuke's side to question him, stop in his tracks.
"You know my parents?"
"Of course, not only me, your companions and even you yourself know them, but you just don't know they are your parents. Even your respected Kakashi-sensei is your father's disciple..."
Taking a sip of Seer Tea, Yang Tao was very satisfied with the incredulous expressions of Naruto and the other two.
"Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, is your father. Your mother is named Uzumaki Kushina, a member of the Uzumaki Clan... Hmm, your name is from your mother."
"The reason you were ostracized by the Konoha Villagers is because of the Nine-Tails' rampage that occurred when you were born. That Nine-Tails killed countless people. Oh, by the way, that includes Iruka's parents, your teacher when you were in school."
"Now, this Nine-Tails is sealed within your body. This is one of the reasons you are targeted by those Villagers."
"Why say 'one of'? That's because whether you're Konoha's Jinchuriki or the Fourth Hokage's orphan, your information should be kept secret. But the legendary Konoha King of Blame... which is Danzo, one of Konoha's elders, deliberately leaked the information to those foolish Konoha Villagers, making them believe you were the incarnation of the demon fox, without mentioning your identity as the son of Konoha's hero."
"And the Third Hokage, after knowing this, tacitly approved of it..."
Naruto's expression at this moment was truly something to behold. Not to mention him, even Sasuke beside him had his mouth wide open, looking at Naruto in disbelief.
He originally thought of him as a dead last, an orphan, but he never expected him to have such a powerful background.
The Fourth Hokage's biological son...
Thinking about it that way, his life as an Uchiha Clan orphan didn't seem so miserable.
At least he didn't lack money like Naruto.
Yang Tao looked at Naruto with a chuckle, taking another sip of Seer Tea.
'Spoilers are truly addicting...'
He wasn't worried about Naruto turning dark or falling, as the influence of Asura's Chakra on Naruto wasn't just talk.
"I... I'm the Fourth Hokage's son?"
Naruto couldn't believe what Yang Tao said, but in the depths of his being, someone seemed to be telling him that it was all true.
Just then, Zabuza and Haku emerged from the forest. Zabuza was carrying Kakashi's body.
"Exhausted?"
Yang Tao was not at all surprised by Kakashi's defeat.
Zabuza, following Yang Tao's advice, didn't fight Kakashi at all but simply dragged him out until the power-hungry Sharingan drained Kakashi's limited Chakra. Kakashi then defeated himself.
