The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 557 The Cruel Truth

Qianyao burst out laughing, finally seeing his father punch him.

Live broadcast, awesome.

However, it must be said that Minato Namikaze is somewhat wronged, since he hasn't done anything yet.

Given that Kakashi's eyes are still intact, Rin should also be alive.

However, her life is probably already on its last legs.

She only has a few months to a year left at most.

"Naruto, you need to understand this!"

"Minato sealed the Nine-Tails into your body with the intention of protecting Konoha Village, that is beyond doubt."

"It's a pity that he had no idea that the Third Hokage would torture you so cruelly."

"They even condone the entire village bullying and harassing you."

"In his eyes, the Third Hokage has always been a kind and amiable old man."

"After all, Minato is only 22 years old now."

"Compared to you now, he is only six years older. How much smarter can he be than you?"

"Let's talk about Iruka. Actually, he was originally someone the Third Hokage specifically placed next to you to monitor you."

"And Kakashi, he was your father's student? And Jiraiya was your father's teacher!"

"But when you are a child, you suffer for twelve years from childhood."

"Not a single one of them has come to visit you. Do you really think they're good people?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto's face turned deathly pale, and his lips trembled slightly:

"Wh...what!? How could this be...? I always thought...at least Iruka-sensei..."

Naruto couldn't continue.

Iruka was actually sent by the Third Hokage.

He asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Was Iruka-sensei really sent by the Third Hokage?"

A cold smile crept across Qian Yao's lips as he sneered:

"I told you long ago that someone like you, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, definitely needs someone to guide you properly."

"The truth is, everyone around you, including Iruka, has been the subject of careful planning and arrangement!"

Upon hearing these words, Naruto's composure crumbled instantly.

The slight joy that had just risen in my heart vanished without a trace, as if blown away by a cold wind.

He collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained.

Minato, standing to the side, frowned and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Chiyo, what's going on? Why haven't even Jiraiya and Kakashi visited Naruto?"

"Could it really be that the Third Hokage is interfering and deliberately trying to stop them?"

Qianyao gently stroked his chin and slowly said:

"As for Jiraiya, you should know better than anyone what kind of person he is."

"Ever since he learned about that so-called parable, this guy has stopped thinking about anything else and has been single-mindedly busy searching for the legendary prophetic child."

"I spend any free time on things like prostitution and voyeurism."

After a pause, Qianyao continued:

"Besides, you were already dead by then. With his unrestrained and dissolute nature, how could he possibly have the leisure to look after your son all the time?"

"I guess Jiraiya just heard the Third Hokage casually say that Naruto was doing alright, and then he forgot about it."

Then, Qianyao sighed softly and said:

"Let's talk about Kakashi. When he was young, he first witnessed his father commit suicide before his eyes;"

Not long after, he watched helplessly as his friend Obito sacrificed himself to save him, losing his own life in the process.

"Immediately afterwards, he personally killed his beloved girl, Lin."

"You and Kushina were Kakashi's last elders, but it's a pity you both died."

"Such heavy blows coming one after another, an ordinary person would probably have gone crazy long ago."

"But the fact that Kakashi was not defeated by the weak point is enough to prove that his willpower is stronger than imagined."

At this point, Qianyao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:

"So, we shouldn't be too harsh on Kakashi for not being able to look after Naruto."

"After all, the pain and suffering he himself carried were already enough to keep him from taking care of himself..."

Everything Qianyao said was packed with information.

That's why Minato felt completely confused and had no idea where to begin his questioning.

"So, what exactly happened regarding my student destroying the ninja world? Could it be Kakashi?"

Minato frowned and said thoughtfully.

After all, Kakashi had experienced too many separations and deaths and tragic changes, so it was understandable that he harbored resentment towards the world.

Logically speaking, Kakashi seems to be the most likely person to turn to darkness and be blinded by hatred.

However, this is not the case; Kakashi still upholds the justice and light in his heart.

At this moment, Qianyao secretly pondered:

I've already revealed enough, but I can't forget where I am right now.

This place is Loulan, and it is crucial to whether he can successfully return to his original time and space.

As far as he knew, the centipede who had fled here had transformed into An Lushan and successfully seized control of the dragon vein of Loulan.

Moreover, An Lushan is meticulously plotting a conspiracy, attempting to take advantage of today's celebration to kill Queen Sara of Loulan and thus gain complete control of the entire Loulan.

Naruto is also here right now. If no one saves Sara, this beautiful queen will probably die.

Thinking of this, Qianyao quickly said:

"Let's leave it at that for now, Minato. I remember your mission here was to protect Queen Sara, right?"

"There's one more thing I need to specifically remind you of: that An Lushan is actually the centipede Naruto mentioned!"

"At this time, Centipede should be plotting to kill Queen Sarah here."

"I can't talk to you now, I need to save her first."

Before he finished speaking, Qian Yao suddenly turned around and soared into the air like lightning.

With a whooshing sound, he soared into the sky like a nimble bird.

"Remember to come find me later!"

In the moment of parting, Qianyao shouted loudly again, and then rushed out without hesitation toward the huge hole that had been broken by the puppet.

In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Minato and the others were left standing there dumbfounded, still feeling unsatisfied.

During his brief exchange with Chiyo, Minato keenly sensed something amiss.

In particular, this man named Uchiha Chiyo seems to have a special fondness for Naruto.

Most of their conversations revolved around Naruto.

But what made Minato so eager to know was that Qianyao never mentioned a word about the key information he cared about and longed to know the most.

"Naruto, our mission this time is to protect Queen Sara."

"So, please wait here for now. We'll come back to you as soon as we've completed our mission."

Minato gave Naruto some instructions.

Hearing his father's words, Naruto hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Dad, why don't we... just stay here and wait for Mr. Qianyao to return?"

After learning that Chiyo was actually the legendary Hokage, Naruto's heart was stirred.

At this moment, he was feeling quite complicated, and for a moment he didn't even know how to properly address this elder with such a special status.

However, from then on, he would never again casually call someone "uncle" in such a slightly disrespectful way.
