Chapter 439
Although the hatred had been eliminated, they had never thought about approaching them proactively.
Their attitude toward the Tailed Beasts was also lukewarm.
Now, after watching the video, they discovered that many of their previous ideas about the Tailed Beasts were wrong.
In fact, because of their actions, they had caused a lot of harm to the Tailed Beasts.
So they wanted to make amends.
【"In the eyes of you humans, we only symbolize power, so you don't know our names, nor do you care to know."】
The Four-Tails' words almost spoke the inner thoughts of people from the Ninja World's past:
【"You imprison us and deny our existence."】
Hearing this, Naruto in the video lowered his head, and his expression appeared somewhat cold as he recalled his own childhood.
【"Look, that's the kid."】
【"Don't pay him any mind, just walk past."】
Naruto in the video was sitting alone on a park bench, eating ramen.
And a family of three walked toward him.
【"Who is he?"】
【"You don't need to know."】
Originally, Naruto didn't intend to pay them any mind.
But they were talking about him behind his back.
And Naruto, unable to endure it any longer, threw his instant noodles directly onto the head of that male ninja.
"That really is..."
Looking at the male ninja's disheveled appearance, the people of the Ninja World wanted to laugh.
But no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't laugh.
"Naruto, have you been eating instant noodles since you were a child?"
In the Hokage Office, Kushina looked at the video, a flash of heartache on her face.
"No, actually that's not quite right!"
Naruto scratched his head and continued:
"Sometimes, Old Man Third would also take me to eat other things."
"I see..."
Kushina said somewhat desolately!
Afterward, she thought for a moment, then cheered herself up and said:
"I've decided, starting tomorrow, we'll eat vegetables every meal to make up for what you were missing before!"
"No, don't..."
Minato and Uzumaki Naruto looked at Kushina with protesting expressions.
Unfortunately, Kushina ignored their protests completely!
【"I understand your feelings, although only partially!"】
【"I often played pranks because I wanted to attract people's attention. As long as others could notice me, I was willing to do anything,
even if it meant being scolded!"】
【"Do you know what the most terrifying thing for humans is? It's being ignored—ignoring your name, ignoring your existence, and even ignoring you as a person!!"】
Uzumaki Naruto slowly lifted his previously lowered head!
【"I am a Jinchuriki, but I also have a proper name, Uzumaki Naruto. This is the most important thing my parents and teachers left me!"】
【"So..."】
At this moment, the image of the Spiral Mask Man flashed through Naruto's mind in the video!
【"That kind of guy who says he's nobody... who manipulates you at will—I absolutely cannot forgive that!"】
"True strength isn't like that!"
In the Konoha Observation Area, Uchiha Itachi looked at the video and said:
"Not troubled by emotion, not confused by the heart, not dwelling on the past, not fearing the future!
That is true strength.
And someone like Obito in the video, at best, can only be called escaping reality!"
"Well said!"
Uchiha Shisui nodded in agreement!
【"Then, what do you want to do with us?"】
In the video, the Four-Tails looked at Naruto and asked in confusion!
【"I hope to be like Uncle Killer Bee and Eight-Tails!
They laugh, argue, and encourage each other.
Although I can't explain it clearly, I can feel that they are like friends.
I've always felt... I'm so envious of them..."】
Hearing Naruto's answer, Kurama inside him was stunned for a moment.
Then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
And at this moment, the Jinchuriki across the Ninja World, hearing this, also revealed smiles without realizing it.
【In the video, the Four-Tails first laughed in disbelief, but when he saw Naruto's expression, he fell silent.
It was a pair of sincere eyes, so sincere that they didn't contain a shred of falsehood!
So sincere that even Nine-Tails, who was originally indifferent to everything, had a slight change!】
【Naruto: "So I want to save you, that... what was your name again?"】
【Four-Tails sighed: "Just call me 'Son'!"】
【Four-Tails: "I can teach you the method to stop me. As long as you undo the chains for me, I'll tell you!"】
【Naruto: "Okay, then it's a deal!"】
After speaking, Naruto turned around and began to think about how to escape this place!
And all of this was watched by Kurama, who had been paying attention to Naruto.
【"Naruto, I've seen everything you've done, so you should know that no matter what you say to me or to us Tailed Beasts, it's meaningless. Your sincerity cannot be conveyed."】
The Tailed Beasts had long since been disappointed in ninjas.
Over the past hundred years, ninjas had done quite a lot of excessive things to the Tailed Beasts!
These things had long since broken the hearts of the Tailed Beasts.
Such heartbreak could not be changed by a few words!
Kurama knew very well that if Naruto wanted to change the relationship between ninjas and Tailed Beasts, then Naruto's next actions would be critical!
