Clearly, Neji had started to place his bets.
He was betting on Naruto.
So that the future Hyuga would no longer be troubled by the Caged Bird Seal.
Even though Neji knew that the Caged Bird Seal actually did more good than harm.
However, his childhood experiences made him instinctively reject this answer.
An existence even more terrifying than a great landlord, and with Hinata-sama's affection for him... in the future, it was very likely to change the Hyuga.
Chatroom.
Mei Terumī: "That eye just now... did you all see it?"
Sakura Haruno: "Mm... it felt so scary... Naruto sometimes turns like that!"
Mei Terumī: "That's right, that should be the Nine-Tailed Chakra."
Nara Shikamaru: "But the question now is, whose Chakra was it that appeared before the Nine-Tailed Chakra?"
Orochimaru: "Black-Framed Naruto-kun is very different from our Naruto-kun here."
Orochimaru: "That child's mind is extremely sharp, calm, and much more independent."
Orochimaru: "However, I am also very curious, whose Chakra exists within Naruto-kun, besides the Nine-Tailed Chakra."
Orochimaru: "Hiruzen-sensei, is this matter related to you?"
Orochimaru said this directly in the chatroom.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was so angry his teeth ached.
But then he thought of Senju Tobirama.
And quickly spoke up.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "No, I don't know about this either. I never thought of using any genjutsu or other means to control the Naruto in our world."
Uchiha Madara: Hmph, don't even think about it. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't. Even your useless teacher couldn't do such a thing.
Senju Hashirama: What are you talking about?
Senju Tobirama: Big Brother! You... sigh~
Senju Tobirama: Huh?! Wait! If that's the case... Big Brother, did you feel anything familiar about Black-Framed Naruto?
Uchiha Madara's heart skipped a beat.
Senju Hashirama: Did I? Hahaha~ Maybe~
The scene continued.
Similar to the scene on the gold-framed large screen.
Little Naruto was clutching his head, curled up on the ground, trembling all over.
But this was not fear or grievance, but anger and hatred.
Little Naruto was fighting against the strange feeling appearing in his mind.
Seeing this, some people felt a pang of pity.
But most people were followers, and the Nine-Tails' Rampage was still fresh in their minds.
Some people, even if deep down they knew it was wrong, but everyone else was doing it, and their already scarce sense of guilt completely disappeared.
For a time, eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even small stones appeared.
All were thrown at Little Naruto.
"Die, fox demon!!"
Cries of condemnation and curses filled his ears.
The moment a small stone hit Little Naruto's head.
Buzz—
Little Naruto's vision went black.
Immediately after, he subconsciously reached out, and instantly, a warm, wet sensation came from his hand.
He brought his hand in front of him to look.
That crimson color was extremely dazzling.
Thump thump thump—
Little Naruto's breathing hitched; he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
His sky-blue eyes, at this moment, turned crimson.
However, at this moment, Little Naruto felt completely relaxed.
His small, frail body trembled slightly, and then Little Naruto, protecting his head, propped himself up to sit.
"Finally, it's quiet~"
He murmured softly.
The next instant, his crimson eyes returned to sky-blue.
But the whisper that constantly urged him towards good also disappeared.
"This... did that unknown Chakra disappear?"
"He resisted it!"
Shikamaru exclaimed.
"The Naruto of the black frame world is so amazing!"
Shikamaru was very smart, so he could better understand Black-Framed Naruto's brilliance.
Seeing Choji and Ino looking a bit puzzled.
He spoke directly in the chatroom.
Nara Shikamaru: "If we consider the Naruto that appeared at the beginning of both scenes, whether black-framed or gold-framed, to be largely similar Narutos."
Nara Shikamaru: "Then, Black-Framed Naruto preserved his self, while Gold-Framed Naruto became a slave to the whisper."
Senju Tobirama: The Nara clan? That explanation makes a lot of sense.
Ōnoki: "Haha, this old man is suddenly looking forward to the Third Hokage's appearance later!"
Orochimaru: "Me too."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Ōnoki, did this old man do anything outrageous when he appeared?"
Minato Namikaze: You did before.
Caw—
Minato Namikaze's voice rang out.
Looking at that ID, everyone in Konoha was stunned.
The Fourth Hokage, who 'sacrificed himself to protect Konoha during the Nine-Tails' Rampage'.
This... Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Minato, you are also an inheritor of the Will of Fire, are you questioning this old man?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi habitually spoke in a superior tone.
After all, from the First to the Seventh, the Hokage's desk was piled high with documents.
Only the Fourth's desk surface was clean enough to reflect light.
Because Orochimaru was disobedient, he chose the most obedient Minato.
The renown of the Yellow Flash was also widely propagated at that time.
To cover up errors on the front lines, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to voluntarily step down, which quieted Konoha's voices considerably.
Then he pushed Minato into the position of the Fourth Hokage.
However, the so-called Fourth Hokage was merely a figurehead; the true power still lay with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Euphemistically known as—
The scene continued.
After the whisper in his mind disappeared.
Little Naruto felt a sense of relief.
Whoosh—
Just then, a small stone came flying at an extremely fast speed.
Buzz—
The sound of the small stone cutting through the air as it grazed his ear rang out.
Little Naruto tilted his head slightly.
'From just now, I've been able to see these attacks clearly.'
'Is it because I have Chakra inside me?'
'When I'm angry, it feels like the whole world slows down a lot.'
'But I've overheard those Ninja talking, Chakra... doesn't it require cultivating the Chakra Refining Technique?'
'Could it be related to that chilling feeling I had just now?'
Inside the Sealing Space, the Nine-Tailed's mouth curled up slightly.
This Black-Framed Naruto, the more it looked, the more it liked him.
Itself in that world would definitely be able to infuse him with a lot of information while his mind was still immature.
The Nine-Tailed narrowed its eyes slightly; it seemed it could already see Black-Framed Naruto personally opening the sealing gate.
"Die, fox demon!"
Whoosh—
Another small stone came flying.
Straight for Little Naruto's face.
Buzz—
However, it was dodged by Little Naruto once again.
"You want me to die?"
"What did I do wrong?"
"It hurts so much!"
After a few low growls, Little Naruto picked up a small stone at his feet, rolled over, dodged the attacks of others, and then suddenly looked up.
His eyes stared intently at the old woman who had first thrown something at him.
His fierce gaze startled the old woman.
Whoosh—
Little Naruto didn't hesitate at all, directly throwing the small stone at the old woman, aiming for the same spot she had aimed at him: her forehead!
"Damn it! This fox demon dares to resist! Everyone, quickly kill him!"
A voice suddenly rang out. This voice was very special; Little Naruto felt that the voice seemed to contain some kind of power, so much so that everyone in the scene, which was filled with curses and insults, heard it.
Hmm?!
Just then.
Little Naruto's pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw the old woman sitting slumped on the ground.
Her expression showed no relief at all from him dodging the small stone.
'So that's it... everything was intentional by someone!'
'But no matter what... why do they treat me like this with just a low-level incitement?!'
After finding the reason, Little Naruto became even angrier.
"You want to kill me?"
"Fox demon... I don't care what I am, if I really am a fox demon, I'll kill all of you right now!"
