Chapter 63 - Chapter 63 Kurotsuchi: First Hokage of Konoha, why don't you smile anymore?

"By rights, it shouldn't be like this."

"In that case, the Uchiha Clan would definitely become unstable."

"But until now... the Uchiha Clan doesn't seem to have resisted, allowing the Village to suppress them."

Naruto-kun always felt something was off.

But there really wasn't much information.

The only slightly more detailed information was the names of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.

However, Naruto-kun could understand, after all, this involved some secrets of the Uchiha main family, so it was normal not to tell him.

"The First Hokage fell ill from a major battle... After he died, the First Ninja World War broke out."

"Hmm?"

Naruto-kun became even more curious.

"A Ninja World War broke out right after his death?"

"What exactly happened during that time?"

"However, looking at it this way, Konoha must have been the strongest Ninja Village in the Ninja World at that time. Who could have caused the First Hokage to fall ill, leading to a shortened lifespan?"

"If they had such strength, why didn't they expand more?"

"Even if not, with Konoha's leading, even somewhat fault strength at the time, even if the First Hokage died, there should still be lingering prestige... Could the other Four Great Ninja Villages have something as their trump card?"

"Could it be something like the Nine-Tailed fox demon inside me?"

Naruto-kun's murmuring and internal thoughts directly silenced everyone in the Ninja World.

Hashirama: Hahaha~

Hashirama: What a capable child!

Tobirama: Big Brother! I told you then, why did you have to divide the Tailed Beasts among the other Ninja Villages?!

What?!

Tobirama's words directly shook the Ninja World a few times.

The Tailed Beasts... were actually distributed by Konoha?!

Just how strong was Konoha back then?

Ino Yamanaka: "Wait!"

Ino Yamanaka: "According to Second Hokage-sama... doesn't that mean Konoha back then could easily sweep through every Ninja Village?"

Uchiha Madara: That's right, but some people just like to daydream.

Uchiha Madara: The superficial peace obtained by force, heh, after I left and Hashirama also died, look at what Konoha became?

Uchiha Izuna: onii-chan is right, peace obtained through military deterrence will inevitably show its true colors once the force disappears.

Uchiha Izuna: So, the Tailed Beasts were divided up?

Uchiha Izuna: I don't seem too surprised, hahaha~

Kurotsuchi: "Konoha's First Hokage, why are you smiling less and less?"

Ōnoki: "Kurotsuchi!"

"After the First Ninja World War, Konoha's Second Hokage died covering the future Third Hokage and his other disciples, actively sacrificing himself."

"That does seem like the Will of Fire."

"But... isn't the Third Hokage the strongest Hokage?"

"How could that be... Perhaps he was too young at the time, not yet in his peak?"

"Kumogakure... fickle, used despicable methods, but wasn't afraid to display them openly."

Thinking, Naruto-kun gave Kumogakure a preliminary assessment.

Fourth Raikage: "Hahaha~ Thank you for the compliment!"

Tobirama: I'd rather not have Black-Framed Naruto's approval, I'm regretting it like a heartbroken person now!

"The Second Ninja World War."

"The information here is completely different from the first version Sasuke gave me."

"The first version Sasuke gave me was as outrageous as the Will of Fire written by That old man himself."

"Konoha's White Fang, Konoha's Legendary Sannin... But why did it eventually turn into the White Fang committing suicide and the Sannin leaving the Village one after another?"

"Also... is the strongest Hokage really true?"

"Why haven't I seen That old man make a move yet?"

"The First and Second Hokage, and these heroes, all led from the front, so why is this strongest Hokage always holed up in the far rear?"

"The Third Ninja World War, the Uchiha Clan produced Shisui the Teleporter, and at the same time, a common Ninja named Minato Namikaze, the yellow flash, emerged, who would also become the Fourth Hokage."

"His merits overshadowed Orochimaru, who was the frontline commander, and he became the Fourth Hokage by popular demand."

"No! Orochimaru... one of the legendary Sannin, both in seniority and ability, he was one of the best. As a frontline commander, as long as he didn't make an absolute mistake..."

"Wait!"

"This Old Thing!"

"During the Third Ninja World War, even students who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy went to the battlefield, yet he was still sitting comfortably in the far rear?!"

"Where's the strongest Hokage's prestige?!"

"Where's the Will of Fire?!"

"Isn't it about the old leaves burning themselves to illuminate the young sprouts?"

Once he sorted it out,

Naruto-kun felt a headache coming on.

There were too many questions.

He had specifically waited for about half a year to organize it, precisely for fear of missing too much information.

"I can only continue to wait patiently. I... probably aren't enough for them to invest in with confidence yet."

"Damn it, it's making me itch with curiosity!"

Kurotsuchi: "Me too!"

Kurotsuchi: "The Hyuga Clan head and the Uchiha Clan head are really something!"

Kurotsuchi: "If you're going to give, give it all! Bits and pieces, it's really annoying!"

Ino Yamanaka: "Exactly!"

Sakura Haruno: "I also want to see the most crucial information!"

Tenten: "If they gave a little more, Black-Framed Naruto would probably be able to guess his own background, right?!"

Shino Aburame: "That's the point, perhaps that's why they didn't give it all at once?"

Even though there was no follow-up, Naruto-kun still let his thoughts wander.

"The Fourth Hokage took office... Orochimaru is not in the Village now, at least I haven't heard of him, and Shikamaru and the others don't know him either."

"Disheartened?"

"Very likely, this Third Hokage has survived until now, probably not relying on that so-called strongest Hokage title, but rather always using the Will of Fire as a weapon, right?"

"After all, when dealing with me, the Will of Fire served that purpose."

"Although these historical documents are incomplete, some even without records of the Uchiha and Hyuga, some major events are still there. Now... I just haven't been given... what exactly happened during the Nine-Tails Rampage."

"Also, there's very little information about the Fourth Hokage... and it stops at the Nine-Tails Rampage... These points, when linked together, must have a very significant connection."

Naruto-kun pinched his temples, feeling a headache.

"Forget it, let's not think too much and just add to my troubles."

"Right now, stable development is the most important."

Kurotsuchi: "Correct choice!"

Temari: "Indeed, just wait, wait for those two families to finish giving information, otherwise watching it could kill a person with anxiety."

Danzo Shimura: "Hmph! What good would knowing do?"

Danzo Shimura: "Hiruzen, speak up!"

Tobirama: Shut up! I'm in a terrible mood right now!

Tobirama: Speaking of which, you dead monkey, how long have you been in office? Why haven't you retired yet?!

Tobirama: What happened with Konoha's White Fang? And what's this about sending children to the battlefield?!

Tobirama: Orochimaru, you tell me!

Orochimaru: "Sorry, Tobirama-sama, I still prefer to learn these things from Black-framed Naruto-kun."

Tobirama: ! ! !
