Chapter 435
After his passing, many in Konoha held an indescribable hatred for the Uchiha clan and the Nine-Tails.
Now, seeing the video and learning the truth of that year, they felt a measure of guilt in their hearts.
The Nine-Tails attacked Konoha twice, and both times it was under the control of the Uchiha.
Perhaps even the Nine-Tails itself did not want such things to happen.
But under the control of the Sharingan, it was helpless.
And what about the people of Konoha?
Unable to find the mastermind behind the scenes, they forced all that hatred onto the Nine-Tails.
Even its Jinchuriki was implicated and hated by the people of Konoha.
Now that they had learned the truth about the two attacks on Konoha from the video,
how could they remain indifferent?
【"Nine-Tails, your power is too great. I'm sorry, but I cannot let you roam free!"】
At this moment, Senju Hashirama appeared in the video!
He was covered in scars, clearly having just come from a great battle!
Originally, the appearance of the First Hokage should have made the people of Konoha happy.
But the words he spoke next made the guilt of the Konoha people even deeper!
Yes, the power of the Nine-Tails was simply too strong.
Even if that power was innate, it was the same!
Perhaps, in the beginning, the Nine-Tails held no hatred for ninjas, but as time passed, no one could guarantee it wouldn't develop hatred.
Once such power harbored hatred toward ninjas, it would be catastrophic for the Ninja World!
After all, not everyone possessed the power of Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama.
And to avoid this situation, the best course of action was to seal it!】
Perhaps, for the Tailed Beasts, this was an extremely cruel thing.
But for ninjas, this was the best possible outcome!
【"No matter what you say!"】
Nine-Tails' ferocious expression appeared on the video!
And immediately after, the video changed once again!
This time, the person appearing in the video was the First Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Mito.
【"As long as you use your power, it will invite hatred. Just stay quietly inside me!"】
And similarly, her words were not the least bit polite!
"Although I respect the First Hokage and his wife, their words were truly excessive!"
In the Hokage Office, Uzumaki Naruto looked at the video and said indignantly!
Although Naruto respected those who had served as Hokage,
that did not mean he agreed with all their statements and actions!
Especially after witnessing the relationship between Eight-Tails and Killer Bee, his view on this became even stronger.
"Indeed, although they were both great people,
that does not mean everything they did was correct!
Sometimes, the higher the position, the more serious the consequences of a mistake."
Namikaze Minato nodded in agreement!
【"Human intentions!"】
Nine-Tails' face appeared on the video again!
From his face, one could see that the hatred had increased once again!
【"What is certain is that neither you nor I are lucky people.
You can suppress the world, and I can suppress you!"】
The person appearing in the video this time was also a figure very familiar to the Ninja World!
"I'm sorry, Kurama, I said many excessive things to you before!"
In the Hokage Office, Kushina touched her belly and said guiltily.
In truth, for Jinchuriki, they had indeed suffered many grievances!
But at the same time, the grievances suffered by the Tailed Beasts were no less than those of the Jinchuriki.
Originally, they just wanted to live a free and unfettered life.
But the greed of ninjas dragged them into the battlefield time and time again.
Furthermore, most of the hatred encountered on the battlefield was transferred onto them!
And ninjas never thought that they were actually victims as well.
"I think I understand a little why you hate humans so much, Kurama!"
Uzumaki Naruto touched his belly and said in a low voice:
"From the very beginning, it was humans who failed you!
You could have lived without restraint,
it was 'us' who dragged you into the vortex of hatred,
and it was 'us' who pushed you step by step into a situation of opposition to me!"
"This matter has nothing to do with you!"
At this moment, Kurama, who had been watching the video inside Naruto, spoke up:
"Although we Tailed Beasts are collections of Chakra, we can still distinguish right from wrong!"
"I also want to apologize to you on behalf of my grandfather and grandmother!"
At this moment, Tsunade also walked out:
"They may have done it for the safety of the Ninja World, but they did indeed say very excessive things!
I hereby formally apologize to you on their behalf."
"......"
Tsunade's sincere apology did not receive a response from Nine-Tails!
After comforting Naruto, he closed his eyes again to rest.
As for Naruto, Nine-Tails had actually started to acknowledge him a long time ago!
So he would be comforted by his apology.
But for others, he didn't have such a good temper!
After all, it was precisely because of the existence of these people that he had been wrongly accused for hundreds of years.
If not for the Fourth Shinobi World War and the appearance of Naruto, the time he was wrongly accused might have been extended indefinitely.
Such long-standing grievances could not be ended by a single apology from the other party!
