Darkening System Start From Naruto

Chapter 14: Beautiful Imaginations Are Broken



The huge venue became silent!

Everyone was shocked by the news brought by Sarutobi Hiruzen!

'I couldn't believe it!'

An impossible look was fully displayed on all five senses. But just before, they were comforting themselves.

'It's impossible!'

'How can Uzumaki Naruto be the son of Fourth-Hokage?!'

'If Uzumaki Naruto is the son of Namikaze Minato, why didn't Third-Hokage tell us the truth? Why let us treat our benefactor's child like this and bully him so much?'

Instantly... Uzumaki Naruto, the little one, became the only focus of the audience.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on this child, who is only 3 years old.

No action. The scene remained silent.

For a while, everyone really didn't understand how to accept this cruel fact.

Even if they knew that this is unlikely, they were more willing to believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen was cracking a joke with them, because only in this way would their hearts feel better. They wouldn't need to feel guilty for what they have done in the past. Because they really appreciated Fourth-Hokage from the bottom of their hearts, they were even more unable to accept what they had done to this benefactor's child over the years.

In order to prove his claim one step further, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "In the past, in order to conceal Naruto's identity, we decided to change his surname to Uzumaki, which is the surname of Minato's wife Uzumaki Kushina... I thought that Naruto could grow up happily like an ordinary person as long as this is the case. But I didn't expect that everyone's misunderstanding of Naruto would be so deep. I am ashamed of Minato. I am ashamed of everyone. You don't have to blame yourself… Everything is my fault. I have only focused on official businesses, ignoring Naruto, and ignoring everyone's views on Naruto."

Everyone on the scene heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, and their hearts felt like a bolt from the blue sky, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Uzumaki Naruto surname Uzumaki. Namikaze Minato's wife was also named Uzumaki.

How can they deceive themselves again?

The last touch of hope in their heart collapsed instantly. Suddenly, almost everyone showed a variety of complex expressions. They were ashamed of Fourth-Hokage. Ashamed of Uzumaki Naruto.

They were very embarrassed to look up at that stone statue of Namikaze Minato.

Recalling their attitude towards Uzumaki Naruto over the years… This was inferior to a pig and a dog!

At Uzumaki Naruto in the middle of the square, everyone was silent. They didn't know what to say. They didn't know how to face Uzumaki Naruto.

They all treated Uzumaki Naruto as a monster and even instilled this concept and hatred into the next generation. But now? Suddenly, someone told them the child they regard as the enemy, and a monster turned out to be a child of the benefactor?

How could they accept this fact immediately? How could they face what they have done in the past?

However, Naruto Uzumaki, who was facing everyone's gaze, was not feeling well at the moment… Because the 'beautiful picture' he imagined didn't appear at all. He initially thought that as long as the old man disclosed his identity, everyone would recognize him, no longer hate him, and come to make friends with themselves.

But what is the situation now? How did this happen? That kind of "disgusting" looks are gone, but what is going on now?

He looked around the venue. He saw that someone's expression was very complicated, and he didn't understand what he was thinking. He also saw someone's expression as indifferent; he didn't seem surprised by Naruto's identity.

In this way, the whole meeting place, the villagers were quiet, the ninjas were quiet, the major Noble Clan clans were quiet, and the high levels were also quiet.

.....

After everyone had been quiet for a while, the rally finally gave a helpless sigh at Sarutobi Hiruzen and officially declared the end and disbanded.

The group sentiment was gone.

Without the enthusiasm just now.

All of them left this venue one after another with a heavy heart.

On the way back, everybody was not in the mood to talk to other people and had too much communication.

Uzumaki Naruto stood in the middle of the square, looking at the villagers one by one in a daze. He watched as they left one after another. Until the whole square became empty.

Uzumaki Naruto still watched the whole process with a dull expression. Both his eyes were lifeless. There was a blank in his head. His mouth was even more dry and slightly open.

"Everyone has left. Let's go back…" Li Yaoxiang's voice sounded in Naruto's mind.

Naruto's body slightly trembled. There was still a blank in his mind, and his expression was still dull. But unconsciously, following Li Yaoxiang's instructions, he walked back to his home.

During the process of returning home, there was no communication between the two parties.

Naruto couldn't feel the cold of the snow. He couldn't feel the surrounding pictures. Just like this, one step at a time, he walked back.

It wasn't until he arrived at the house and the door closed that he became puzzled. He asked Li Yaoxiang: "Why… why is everyone doing this? I'm a child of a hero. Since they are so grateful to dad, everyone shouldn't hate me, right? Shouldn't everyone accept me?"

"Naruto… I've told you already. The people in the village are cruller and ungrateful than you think. Didn't you see? After many people know your true identity, many people didn't show any unexpected expressions after they learned your true identity. That's because they already knew the truth! They won't thank your father or you... They won't be thankful because the demon fox was sealed inside your body. They just think that this is what your father and his son should do! Your father's death is deserved! Your mother's death is also deserved! What they are thinking is only themselves!"

Naruto's fragile heart was being bombarded with cuts and bruises by Li Yaoxiang's series of words. He always imagined things so beautifully. He didn't want to believe Li Yaoxiang's words, and he didn't want to believe that the village Li Yaoxiang said was really so dark, but the problem was that he couldn't give a reasonable explanation for why those people who knew his identity would treat him like this.

This made him feel very uncomfortable. The beautiful world he longed for was almost torn apart by reality.

It was just that, while he felt most at a loss, there was an unprecedented knock on the door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

This sudden knock on the door brought Naruto's thoughts back to reality in an instant.

After all, at his home, no one would come to visit him on a good day. Even if someone comes, it can only be the old man, Grandpa Hokage.

But the problem is, it was not at the end of the month yet. It was not the time to give him the monthly money. It stood to reason that Grandpa Hokage will not come at this time. Why did someone come suddenly?

So, Naruto, who was still letting his imagination run wild, was suddenly attracted by the "guest" outside the door.

With doubts, Naruto went to open the door...
