The Nine-Tails Rampage in Konoha brought immeasurable losses to the Village.
Compared to the Ninja World War, the losses caused by the Nine-Tails Rampage were in no way inferior. If Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, had not sacrificed himself to seal the Nine-Tailed, Konoha would have nearly been destroyed.
Countless families were affected and displaced.
Countless Ninja died in this chaos.
More than half of the Village's houses were destroyed.
Night gradually fell. The fires brought by the Nine-Tailed in the Village slowly faded, replaced by smoke rising from fallen houses everywhere. The red on the ground was all stained with fresh blood.
The Village seemed to fall silent all at once. Everywhere, people were silently treating the injured and clearing the ruins of houses.
It was on this night that two 'monsters' appeared in the Village.
One was Uzumaki Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, the Jinchuriki who sealed the Nine-Tailed. The villagers poured all their grief and anger over the destruction of the Village onto this infant, who was not even a month old...
The other was Li Zhenwu, the son of a commoner, a child from an ordinary family born during the Nine-Tails Rampage. Both his parents were not Ninja and had no unusual Bloodline Limit. However, the infant born to them never cried or fussed, and he had a tail behind him.
During Konoha's Hokage Rampage, countless families were displaced. Some villagers placed their resentment on Uzumaki Naruto.
Other villagers believed that Li Zhenwu, the monster with a tail behind him, also represented ill omens...
Three years after the Nine-Tails Rampage, in Konoha Year 51.
Children who had not yet started school were running around the Village.
In the spacious square of the Village, children were playing boisterously.
A golden-haired child with cat whiskers on his face looked enviously at the playing children and even stepped forward, wanting to join them.
"Go away, monster! We don't play with you!" Although the group of children were only three or four years old, their words were cruel. They even raised their hands one by one, making gestures to drive him away, which made the golden-haired child's face darken.
"What's so fun about a bunch of little brats together?" A lazy voice came from nearby.
This was at the edge of the square where there were several swings. The owner of the lazy voice, with black hair and black eyes, was lying lazily on one of the swings. The swing swayed slightly, and a black tail gently wagged behind him.
"Monsters! You two monsters go play together!"
The group of children were disdainful, loudly mocking the golden-haired child and the child with a tail.
The golden-haired child was Uzumaki Naruto, seen as an ominous existence by the Village. The term 'monster' was directed at the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him.
The black-haired child, however, was a genuine monster. His tail was utterly unlike a human's and was regarded by countless people in the Village as truly inauspicious.
This black-haired, black-eyed child was named Li Zhenwu.
He was the transmigrator who had crossed over to this world during the Nine-Tails Rampage.
It was just that because he carried a 'Saiyan System,' he had a tail on his backside when he was born, which was considered inauspicious by the people of Konoha Village, who called him a monster...
A group of children picked up stones and mud from the ground, ready to throw them at Uzumaki Naruto, but at that moment, a voice full of righteousness and a lazy voice simultaneously sounded from nearby.
"Hey, that's enough!"
