Minato Namikaze, using the Transformation Technique to disguise himself as Naruto Uzumaki, stepped out from a quiet corner.
Meanwhile, Ito Hirofumi trailed him from a distance…
He had to keep an eye on things. If Minato lost it and slaughtered these clueless civilians, what then?! That'd cause way too big a scene!
It had been twelve years since Minato's death, and Konoha had changed a lot since the village he remembered.
As evening settled in, the streets were still bustling with life.
Minato, in the guise of Naruto, looked around curiously…
"Wow, this is nice! I never thought Konoha would change so much in just over a decade. The buildings are taller, and there are so many more people…"
But before Minato could finish his nostalgic musings, he was rudely interrupted!
"Hey!!! Look over there! That damn demon fox kid is out on the streets again!!!"
"Shh, keep it down! Don't you remember last time? That demon fox kid brought a gang and beat a few guys half to death!"
"Ugh… you're right, I almost forgot! That demon fox kid is pure evil!"
"Yeah, I was there when it happened. Those guys got messed up bad!"
"I heard about it too! One of the guys who got beat was my second aunt's third cousin's great-uncle's brother-in-law's son's daughter's husband! All because he called him 'demon fox kid,' and that punk brought a whole crew to knock out his teeth!!!"
"No wonder they call him the evil demon fox kid!"
"Shh, stop talking! That damn demon fox kid is coming this way…"
Minato, still disguised as Naruto, felt his face darken. He'd heard about this stuff from Ito Hirofumi before, but it was just talk. Now, he was experiencing it firsthand!
And this was what his son had to deal with every single day!!!
Heh… demon fox kid, huh? This was the Konoha he gave his life to protect? What a rotten place…
But Minato buried his anger deep for now. He wanted to see just how far these civilians—the ones he'd sacrificed his life for—would go!!!
He stopped at a street stall selling meatballs.
"Hey, uncle! How much for these meatballs?!"
"Get lost! Scram, you evil demon fox!!! I'd rather feed my meatballs to dogs than sell them to you! Get outta here!!!"
Minato clenched his fists but didn't linger. He moved on to the next stall…
"Hey, ma'am! How much for these pastries?!"
"Disgusting demon fox! Who're you calling ma'am?! Beat it!"
The middle-aged woman hurriedly packed up her stall, as if terrified this "demon fox kid" was about to rob her.
Minato felt like he could barely breathe…
But then, he heard a shout.
"Hey, demon fox kid!!!"
Minato turned curiously. It was the owner of a general store.
"What's up, boss?!"
"Heh, nothing much! I've got some milk and instant noodles here. I'll sell 'em to you cheap!"
Minato paused, surprised. Maybe there were some decent people among Konoha's civilians…
But when he saw the so-called milk and noodles, his heart felt like it was being crushed, the pain sharp and raw.
Every single item was expired!!!
"So, whaddaya think, demon fox kid? I'm being nice here! These bottles of milk and instant noodle cups—I'll let you have 'em for just two thousand ryo!!!"
Minato, still in Naruto's form, felt his eyes burn red with rage as he glared at the shopkeeper.
"Boss… these are all expired, aren't they?! Stuff like this should be thrown out! And you're charging me two thousand ryo?! Even if they weren't expired, this junk's worth maybe a few dozen ryo!"
"Tch!!! Demon fox kid, you buy it or you don't!!!
I wasn't even gonna sell to you! I only offered you this expired stuff outta pity so you'd have something to eat, and now you're haggling with me?! Get lost! Scram as far as you can!!!"
Minato was shaking with fury, barely holding back his chakra as his body trembled with rage.
The thought of his son enduring this kind of verbal filth, eating expired garbage all these years—it tore at Minato's heart!
Swallowing his anger, he ignored the shopkeeper and headed to a barbecue restaurant called the Mandarin Duck House…
The moment he stepped inside, a pile of garbage came flying at him.
"Goddamn bad luck!!! Demon fox kid! Get the hell outta here!! I don't welcome you, and I sure as hell ain't selling you food! Scram, now!!!"
The shop owner hurled garbage at him while spewing insults, and Minato couldn't take it anymore!
"You! Piece! Of! Trash!!!"
WHAM!!!
Minato lunged forward, his fist crashing into the shop owner's face!
The owner's nose twisted instantly, blood gushing from his nose and mouth, tears streaming from his eyes…
Minato had kept Ito Hirofumi's warning in mind and held back his chakra, using only taijutsu.
Even so, his skills were far beyond what a barbecue shop owner could handle.
"Oh my god!!! Look! The demon fox kid's finally showing his true colors!!!"
"He's so brutal!!!"
"Someone get the ninja! The demon fox kid's killing people!!!"
"This demon fox kid makes me sick just looking at him!!!"
Minato's face was dark, his gaze icy as he stared at the restaurant's patrons and staff, listening to their vile insults aimed at his son, Naruto.
"You people!!! You all! Deserve! To die!!!"
Seeing this, Ito Hirofumi cursed under his breath—this wasn't good!
He rushed forward, placing a hand on Minato's shoulder to stop him!
