Chapter 399

Whether they believed what Minato said or not, they all fell into silence at this moment!

"Is everything you said true?"

Finally, after a long silence, Kotetsu Hagane, who was sitting in the arena in a sorry state, asked!

"......"

Minato did not directly answer Kotetsu Hagane's question!

But, his fierce gaze seemed to have already told everyone the truth!

"Bu, but, what we have always heard is..."

Minato's gaze made Kotetsu Hagane somewhat fearful!

But even so, he still gritted his teeth and said the doubts in his heart!

"The reason the Third Hokage said that was to protect Naruto! But..."

This time, Minato chose to answer Kotetsu Hagane's question:

"You are ninjas! You exist to protect this village!

If you just follow the crowd and don't even have the most basic judgment for rumors, then I suggest you---don't be ninjas anymore in the future!"

Minato looked at the three with disdain and continued:

"Not trusting your own comrades! Not having the most basic judgment for rumors!

{Linglong} 7 0 3 2 1 6 2 2 0

Even specifically smearing people in the village just to grandstand, and sacrificing for the likes of you!

I feel ashamed for myself!"

"......"

Minato's words were not light!

The people of Konoha basically all knew that Minato sacrificed himself to save Konoha!

At that time, the gratitude of the villagers of Konoha toward Minato could be said to have reached an unprecedented height.

But, what they didn't expect was that many years later, the person who once sacrificed himself to protect the village would regret it!

"Is what you said true? Are you really my dad!?"

The first to come back to his senses was the party involved, Uzumaki Naruto!

At this time, he revealed a look of being at a loss!

Although, in these past few days, Minato and the others had already given Naruto the feeling of a home!

He also had always regarded Minato and Kushina as his dad and mom from the bottom of his heart!

But, when he got the real answer from Minato's mouth today!

He was instead somewhat at a loss!

"Yes, Naruto! Sorry, I haven't told you all this time!"

Minato squatted down, touched Naruto's head, and said gently:

"Because we didn't know how long we could stay in this world! To avoid you experiencing the feeling of loss again, we originally intended to keep it hidden..."

Speaking of this, Minato lowered his head in guilt!

"I, I have a dad and mom! I have..."

Minato's words left Naruto completely stunned!

In his mouth, he kept repeating the sentence above!

"Sorry, Naruto!"

At this time, Kushina appeared by Naruto's side!

She saw her squat down and then hug her son tightly in her arms!

"I finally have a dad and mom..."

Under Kushina's warm embrace, the emotions Naruto had suppressed for twelve years finally erupted!

Tears flowed down like a bursting river!

His whole body was trembling violently!

But his teeth were biting his lips tightly! Not letting himself make any crying sound!

His lips were even bitten until they bled!

But, Uzumaki Naruto seemed not to notice the pain, still biting tightly...

Seeing this scene, everyone in the venue felt exceptionally uncomfortable!

They recalled their past actions, and many people couldn't even forgive themselves...

"I'm sorry, Minato-sensei, it's my fault for not taking good care of Naruto..."

After a long time, the grown-up Hatake Kakashi walked to Minato, bowed deeply, and said in a tone full of guilt!

"I'm sorry, Naruto!!"

At this time, Haruno Sakura also appeared in the venue!

She saw her bow ninety degrees to Naruto and Kushina, her eyes red!

"I once called you an orphan with no parents and no one to discipline you!!! I am really very sorry!!!"

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke, who came with Haruno Sakura, recalled when they were first assigned to a team, Uzumaki Naruto used the Transformation Technique to turn into himself!

Then he looked for Sakura alone, and when he rushed over, he only saw Sakura alone; at that time Sakura was--

'Don't worry about Naruto, he always clings to Sasuke, as expected, no one taught him properly! Look, doesn't he have no parents? He is always alone and does whatever he wants, if I did that kind of thing, I would definitely be scolded by my parents! He is all alone, and hasn't been scolded by parents, that's why he is very willful in many things...'

Although, Naruto was not present at the time and didn't know about this, but 0.9 Haruno Sakura really couldn't act as if it didn't happen!

"......"

Uzumaki Naruto did not answer Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi's words!

His hands still hugged Kushina tightly...

And everyone in the venue saw Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi go over to apologize, and the tangled expressions on their faces became even thicker...

"Sorry, Naruto!!"

At this time, the Third Hokage also slowly walked into the venue!

"Not telling you the truth, letting you suffer this kind of treatment in the village!

Not only did your childhood become full of discrimination, but I also failed the trust Kushina and Minato placed in me..."

The Third Hokage took off his Hokage hat and lowered his head slightly:

"I am really very sorry."

"I, I'm sorry Naruto! We apologize for our previous actions!"

Seeing the Third Hokage come out to apologize, Kotetsu Hagane, Izumo Kamizuki, and Ebisu, who were already in the arena, looked at each other and walked out together:

"The Fourth Hokage-sama is right! As ninjas, the most basic thing is to distinguish right from wrong!

But we didn't do that; on the contrary, we listened to rumors, and even slandered you many times...

I am really very sorry!!!"

The three maintained their bowing posture and never got up!

"Sorry!!"

"I'm sorry!!!"

Following the apologies of these three, the people sitting in the spectator seats could no longer sit still!

They walked down from the stage one after another and apologized to Naruto!

Those who had beaten Naruto before...

The mask shop owner who had fiercely humiliated Naruto in his shop before...

Those who had mocked and discriminated against Naruto before basically all stood out...

"... Thank you!"

Naruto said in a low voice to Kushina and Minato!

At this time, Uzumaki Naruto also slowly came back to his senses!

09 He saw him take a deep breath, and then revealed a mischievous expression, and said to Haruno Sakura:

"Sakura, lift your head up! If you keep crying like this, Sasuke will dislike you!!!"

Hearing Naruto's words, Sakura slowly lifted her head!

"Regarding Konoha. Actually, I also once had feelings of hatred and revenge!" ===== CHAPTER 401 =====
