If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

Naruto took a deep breath, as if to put all the emotions in his heart into this breath.

His eyes were extremely complex, showing relief, but also a hint of self-mockery that was difficult to erase.

He paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and then he slowly spoke to Minato in a calm but heartfelt tone:

"Fourth Hokage, do you know? From the time I can remember until now when I have grown up, I have really experienced so much...Those days, even now when I think of them, I am a little scared and unable to face them. They are not only a memory full of pain and tears, but also an unavoidable and indispensable hell in my life."

Hearing the alienation in Naruto's words, you, the Fourth Hokage, and using hell to describe Konoha, Minato opened his mouth, and then his mouth felt dry.

What did he want to say.

But what could he say?

"I still remember when I was a kid, I was looked down upon and ostracized in the village because of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed in my body. The children in the village looked at me like a scourge. They were afraid of me and avoided me. They even ganged up on me to bully me. Just because I had that terrible monster hidden in my body, they believed that I was also an evil being."

Naruto's voice lowered slightly, and the past that he couldn't bear to recall was gradually flooding into his mind.

"Once, I was playing alone by the river, splashing water happily and enjoying the rare relaxation and freedom. However, the water splashed accidentally and landed on a few children not far away. Who would have thought that such a trivial matter would make them furious in an instant? They rushed towards me aggressively and punched and kicked me without saying a word."

Having said that, Naruto unconsciously clenched his fists, and a trace of pain flashed across his face.

"At that time, I had no power to fight back. I could only cry and run away desperately. When I finally returned home, my whole body was already covered with bruises and scars. However, facing such an experience, I couldn't find anyone to talk to. The house was empty and cold. I was the only one who curled up in the corner silently, letting my tears flow freely. I cried all night. At that moment, my heart was full of resentment. I resented why fate was so unfair that I came to this cold and cruel world; I resented the person who gave birth to me, why did he bring me to such a miserable place? And then abandoned me and ignored me..."

"They have parents who can support them, but what about me? Why am I so unfortunate? Where are my parents? They gave birth to me and didn't care about me. Why did they give birth to me?"

Naruto became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice even trembling slightly at the end, and the emotion contained in it seemed as if it was about to burst out of his chest.

The originally normal tone gradually became gloomy and depressing, just like the sky was covered by dark clouds without a trace of sunshine.

Looking back on those days, I am now able to face Minato Namikaze directly, and am no longer in that complicated sealed space.

Coupled with the sharp contrast created by the time spent living in the Empire, Naruto felt more and more disgusted and resentful of the years he spent in the village.

Naruto should have turned evil!!

"When my third-generation grandfather learned about this situation, to be honest, I really hoped that things would get better at first. Well, it is undeniable that the situation is indeed better than before."

A bitter smile appeared on Naruto's face, but it quickly disappeared without a trace, replaced by deep helplessness and pain.

"To this day, if time could go back and I could make a new choice, I would rather my third-generation grandfather never know about this matter! Because since then, no one has dared to get close to me. Not to mention hitting me, even those guys who wanted to bully me have completely disappeared. But... they just can't get close to me physically! The insults they uttered, especially the calls of 'demon fox' and my name, still drill into my ears all the time, like sharp knives, constantly piercing my heart."

Naruto clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he seemed to be unaware of the pain. His eyes stared straight ahead, as if that was the source of all his resentment.

"At school, I was always isolated. My classmates didn't want to sit with me or play with me. They always looked at me strangely, as if I were a monster, a person who shouldn't exist. At that time, I always wondered, why do I have to endure this? Why do I have to be treated like this because of the Nine-Tailed Fox? Why me???"

"No matter how rough and bumpy the road ahead was, I never gave up. I kept telling myself that I must become stronger and stronger, and prove to everyone that I am not a so-called monster, and that I have my own indelible value. Just like that, with a firm belief, I embarked on this road of cultivation full of hardship and sweat."

"Whether it's physical training that requires extremely high physical strength, or the study of mysterious and ever-changing ninjutsu, or even the in-depth exploration of strategies, I try my best to pursue perfection and strive to hone each skill to the pinnacle. Because I deeply understand that only by making myself strong enough can I truly protect myself and gain the respect of others from the bottom of my heart."

"Of course, although I know that even if I have become extremely powerful, the prejudice and discrimination that follow me like a shadow will still be difficult to completely eliminate. But as long as I have strong enough strength to support it, I believe these negative factors will be reduced accordingly, right?"

"But... the Nine-Tails is sealed in my body, so I can't condense pure chakra smoothly. Even the simplest basic transformation technique will be strongly interfered by its huge chakra, which undoubtedly makes my already difficult situation even more ridiculous!"

"Failure and sadness shrouded my childhood!"

"I became extremely ridiculous and became a clown in everyone's eyes."

"It was like this until I came to the Empire!"

"Yondaime Hokage, did you ever think about these when you sealed the Nine-Tails in my body and made me a Jinchūriki?"
