Chapter 17

" You can't be serious Sarutobi." A man covered in bandages said with anger all over his face.

" Now now Danzo, let's hear what Sarutobi has to say first." An old man said

" I am more than serious I am furious, I have been listening to what you all have been saying while forgetting one small thing, I am the Hokage I make the rules and I can change them, I should listen to you when necessary, but now, it is not," Sarutobi said while all the emotions that he had kept for all these years came out.

" Do you even know in how much danger you will put our village by announcing who Naruto's parents are and what he is?" Danzo said, his voice growing angrier with each word.

" I know, but our Village had been through much worse than some idiots wanting revenge, and do I have to remind you that Naruto isn't a thing, Naruto is a child who was forced into things way above him and who just wants to be happy." The Hokage said while standing up.

" We made him like this, we created this situation, and the villages see him as an enemy and not a Hero, do you even know what our situation would be if he had not kept the Nine-Tails inside him for all those years?"

" I have had enough of politics and this type of bullshit, they want revenge? They must come themself and get it, they want compensation? They are the that should pay for Naruto's sacrifice, I am the Hokage and I make the decision." Sarutobi said, making his intentions clear, nothing could change his mind

It was the day, the whole Village had all made a big group in front of the Hokage Mansion, they wanted to hear what the Hokage had to say, mostly because it regarded Naruto's situation.

" Good morning Village of Konoha, I have made you all come here..."

He started talking remembering every one of the events that had led to the 4th death, thanks to my new Sensory ability I was able to feel everyone's chakra, even those hidden in the shadow, but the range was only 26 meters, maybe it had to do with how much Chakra I had or my Chk stat, what I knew was that keeping it constantly on made my head hurt, and with each upgrade in Chk it would grow.

I also wanted to try the Chakra suppression and Healing Blood but I had no one to try them on, it has been only a day since I got them.

Returning back to the current situation I could feel a whole army of ninjas covering the whole Hoakge Mansion ready to attack whoever tried to get too near the Hokage or me, it kinda felt good to be protected.

" As you know the day the Nine-Tails attacked it also disappeared, and I know you know who it is currently inside of."

That made the whole village fall in silence, everyone feared the repercussions of such a statement, which meant he knew what they had done, how much they made him suffer.

" Those who have no fault will be spared, those who deliberately ignored him will simply have to pay a tax that will directly fund his growth, but those who made him suffer... I will personally deal with the punishment."

Some random villager spanned, when he began speaking I remembered him, he was the drunk guy who decided to break a bottle on my head just for fun when I was 9.

" BUT HE IS A MONSTER WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING HIM, HE KILLED EVERYONE."

One voice, ten, a hundred, most of the Village.

" HE KILLED MY WIFE."

"MY CHILD."

" HE IS A MONSTER."

They went on and on I heard them, it hurts me, knowing how many people actually hated me, but more than hurting from the sadness I was angry, angry because I had never done anything wrong, I simply existed and survived, why should I care about such a village?

" Not everyone hates you"

I remembered the Hokage words, and I noticed how in the middle of the villagers there also were people trying to shut them up, as few as they were they still were present.

' I do not need to save the lot, but the few can be saved.'

" SILENCE."

Powered by his own chakra a shout that pierced everyone's ears spread on the whole Village.

Everyone turned towards Sarutbi, the usually friendly and elderly Hokage was long gone, replaced by the War Veteran he was and always will be.

" HAD NO ONE EVER QUESTIONED WHO NARUTO PARENTS ARE? HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT OUT OF ALL THE VILLAGERS HE WAS CHOSEN RIGHT AT BIRTH? HAS NO ONE EVER SEEN THE SIMILARITIES?" He continued shouting his anger skyrocketing.

He took a big breath and calmed down, but the ur that surrounded him still remained present and ever-lasting.

He turned towards me with a small smile telling me to come near him, and so I did.

" He wasn't chosen, he wasn't a random kid, he found himself in that situation because he is the son of the previous holder of the Nine-Tails and of her husband, the FOURTH HOKAGE."

No one could speak, those who knew smiled, happy that Naruto could finally be seen for what he is, and those who didn't knew began to cower in fear, not only was he the son of the previous holder, Kushina Uzumaki one of the most known ninja's in Konoha, but the son of the fourth Hokage, that placed him in a position only under the Hokage.

" His name is Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki, last prince of the Uzumaki clan, last head of the Namikaze clan, Holder of the Nine-tails, and saviour of the Village."

The tension was so thick it could be cut with a knife, a 12-year-old had so many titles before he even became a ninja, what had the future in hold for him?

And the Village had no idea, not even the Hokage had any idea or Naruto himself, because after today the rise of the strongest being started.
