Chapter 328 Naruto Knows His Identity
Whether it was the Third Hokage, Kakashi or Black Zetsu, they all told Naruto not to care too much about his own background. Once he became stronger, all the truth would come to light.

Knowing the right answer at the wrong age is not necessarily a good thing.

But the premise of all this is that the Third Hokage and Kakashi know how strong Naruto is to reveal the truth, but Naruto himself does not know.

He didn't know how much effort he would have to put in to get to the truth.

If he is lucky, he may know the truth tomorrow. If he is unlucky, three generations may have to use their lack of strength to fool him for the rest of their lives.

This uncertainty and unknown made Naruto very uncomfortable and he even suffered from insomnia.

After tossing and turning all night, Naruto, who had only rested for three or four hours, opened his eyes, washed up simply, and went to the Ninja School with a bad mood.

What Grandpa Black Zetsu said was very right. There was no need for him to worry about his life experience. If he did so for a long time, he would only suffer from severe mental exhaustion and would not even be able to accomplish small things like going to school and helping others.

But sometimes, even though he knew it would lead to mental exhaustion, Naruto still couldn't help but think.

After spending half a day in a daze, Naruto habitually helped the old lady cross the road. After successfully sending the old lady to the other side, the old lady adjusted her glasses, sighed softly and said:

"Kid, your back looks like the Yondaime when he was a child. He also liked to help the elderly back then."

"The Fourth Hokage?" After hearing this name, Naruto's body shook. He seemed to have found a breakthrough. As long as he could find out the information of the Fourth Hokage, he might be able to know his identity.

After glancing at the street behind him, Naruto suppressed his inner excitement and his expression returned to normal.

He knew that his identity was very special and that there would be people protecting him wherever he was, making it easy for his third-generation grandfather to find him.

If my third-generation grandfather knew that I knew about this, he would definitely stop me.

I must use fair means to quietly find out the truth. This may be my last chance to get closer to the truth.

Over the next few days, Naruto went about his daily life while searching for information about the Fourth Hokage.

Information about the Fourth Hokage is not difficult to find. Just ask a few old people and you will find out. The library also records many of the Fourth Hokage's deeds.

The Fourth Hokage was named Minato Namikaze, with golden hair and sky blue eyes, exactly like himself.

Minato Namikaze's life story is similar to his own, he is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.

He showed great talent since he was a child. After completing three years of ninja education, he became a senior ninja in the village at a young age. He also achieved brilliant results in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars.

With these achievements, Minato Namikaze defeated his rival Orochimaru and became the Fourth Hokage.

When seeing this, Naruto felt that the legendary life of the Fourth Hokage had just begun, but soon the village encountered the Night of the Nine-Tails, and the Fourth Hokage gave his life to save the village.

When Naruto heard the word Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, he recalled his experiences before attending the Ninja School.

Everyone in the village said that he was a demon fox. Could he really be the reincarnation of a demon fox? Judging from the time when the nine-tailed demon fox was destroyed and he was born, this suspicion was not unreasonable.

But his appearance is almost identical to the Fourth Hokage's. Doesn't he suspect that he is the Fourth Hokage's child? This is obviously the most likely possibility.

But then Naruto shook his head.

If he is really the child of the Fourth Hokage, he should be treated as the children of heroes. No matter how stupid the villagers are, it is impossible for them to treat the child of the Fourth Hokage coldly.

Most importantly, his name was Uzumaki Naruto, not Namikaze Naruto. He was most likely the son of a demon fox. If that was the case, he had caused so much harm to the village before, so it was reasonable for him to be treated differently by the villagers.

From this perspective, the Will of Fire may not be false.

The third-generation grandfather was able to accept himself as the reincarnation of a fox demon, and he was able to gain recognition from the village by helping others, thus transforming from the son of a fox demon into a truly good child.

Just as Naruto was immersed in the fantasy of the Will of Fire, he saw the name of the Fourth Hokage's spouse.

The spouse of the Fourth Hokage is named Uzumaki Kushina. Uzumaki Kushina has the same surname as himself, and Uzumaki Kushina's identity is as special as his own, both of them have mysterious identities.

Naruto wanted to find more information about Kushina, but there was very little information about her.

However, from another book, Naruto learned about the tailed beasts and the jinchūriki. It turns out that the tailed beasts are not only disaster-level monsters, but can also be sealed in the bodies of ninjas.

The ninja who contains the tailed beast is called a jinchūriki.

After reading this, Naruto closed the book calmly and opened the next miscellaneous book as if nothing had happened, but a storm of emotions was rising in his heart.

It is true that he is an orphan, but he is not the son of a demon fox, but the son of the Fourth Hokage.

The place where he lived was the place where his parents risked their lives to protect, but here he was treated unfairly and was regarded as the son of a fox demon.

Although the time he was treated as the son of a demon fox was very short, Naruto didn't care about that time that was almost forgotten.

But Naruto could not accept the Third Hokage's concealment. Why did the Third Hokage hide his identity? Couldn't he know who his father was?
His parents were not criminals, but heroes who protected the village.

After returning home, Naruto sat on the bed and talked to himself in front of the kunai pendant, saying in a very low voice:

"Black Zetsu, I know my identity now. My identity is not ordinary. I am the son of the Fourth Hokage. At the same time, I may have inherited something left by my mother... the Tailed Beast."

"It is precisely because of this identity that my identity, like my mother's, has been hidden..."

After hearing this, Black Zetsu was somewhat surprised at Naruto's execution ability. Naruto, a student at a ninja school, actually found so much information in just a few days.

These materials are not secrets to official ninjas, but Naruto is just a student at the ninja school and his identity is very special. The Hokage should not let Naruto find these materials.

But the imagination is also relieved. The Third Hokage is the Hokage, but it is not only the Hokage who has the say in Konoha, there is also the Hokage in the darkness.

The Hokage in the dark was Danzo in the past and is now Byakuya’s subordinate… Uchiha Shisui.

If Byakuya wanted to do something to Naruto, it would be easy.

After a moment's silence, Black Zetsu turned to Naruto and said, "Now that you know this, what are you going to do? The same as before? Or do you do something to the people and the village who deceived you?"

Naruto shook his head slightly and said:
"I don't plan to do anything. Knowing my origins is enough for me. I am a ninja of Konoha and I will abide by the Will of Fire now and in the future."

Black Zetsu heard the hidden meaning and smiled calmly.

Konoha ninjas naturally abide by Konoha's rules, but a ninja cannot always be a Konoha ninja.
