The murderer of my parents?
Upon hearing Aomi's words, Naruto trembled all over.
At this moment, the thoughts within Uchiha Obito's mind slowly echoed in Naruto's heart—
"Attacking Konoha again... The last time I fought here was seven years ago!
"If my combat experience was more extensive, I would have seized the Nine-tails by now, defeated Namikaze Minato the Fourth Hokage head-on, and captured the most crucial element inside the Gedo Statue..."
"Unfortunately, Minato's Flying Thunder God is formidable, and Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains surprisingly managed to restrain the Nine-tails even during childbirth; all things I hadn't anticipated..."
"After all, these two people are my teacher and wife of the teacher..."
"However, still I emerged victorious... Namikaze Minato and Kushina were dragged to death by me on the Night of the Nine-tails, Konoha has no ninja that poses any substantial threat to me anymore! As long as Akatsuki strengthens a bit more, we can handle each Tailed Beast in sequence..."
"Maybe I can look for Naruto later... Such a young Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is such an easy target, it makes one impatient to shove him into the Gedo Statue, let him contribute to the grand Infinite Tsukuyomi…"
Naruto's expression became increasingly unpleasant... What did he just hear?
The murderer who killed his parents turned out to be Minato's student?
Not only was killing Minato and Kushina not enough, he also set his sights on Naruto during the Uchiha Clan massacre, seeming ready to come for him soon...
Naruto's heart was in turmoil.
A massive, molten-like anger burnt fiercely within him, as if even his soul was set aflame...
Why? Why would someone who is supposed to be his father's disciple target him like this...
Just like how Uchiha Itachi slaughtered his clansmen, the masked man targeted Naruto's entire family, intending not to let any from father to mother to child get away, determined to send off the whole Namikaze family together!
At this moment, Naruto deeply empathized with those who were killed by Uchiha Itachi...
Encountering such madmen, it's truly tragic!
Yet engulfed in anger, an uncontrollable fear surfaced within Naruto, growing heavier and heavier...
Naruto, who had witnessed the massacre firsthand, knew profoundly both Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito, two ruthless madmen, possessed extremely high combat abilities.
The Uchiha Clan ninjas, hailed within the Ninja World as born geniuses, couldn't withstand even two moves in front of these two, meeting their deaths swiftly and decisively.
Uchiha Itachi had still paused momentarily for Uchiha Izumi.
As for Uchiha Obito, he moved like a ghost, drifting with ninjutsu Naruto couldn't comprehend through house after house, the red iron chains and bloodstains on the samurai sword only growing thicker, signifying yet another family wiped out by him.
Such formidable combat strength...
Although Naruto had undertaken diligent training in various aspects these few months, achieving considerable progress in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, even mastering the advanced Dust Release,
from the hardware perspective, Naruto was still just a seven-year-old child, lacking in many areas, how could he possibly confront the extremities of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito?
Especially when Uchiha Obito intended to kill him, confronting him now would be like delivering oneself up!
But the blood debt of his parents ignited a rage within Naruto, boiling even his bones...
Naruto deeply loathed his own helplessness!
"If... if I were as strong as Aomi, would I still have to consider all this? Today, I would surely avenge my dad and mom, not just rage ineffectively..."
"The fear in my heart is so despicable."
"Indeed, everything Aomi said is true... in this Ninja World, even wishing for a peaceful life could encounter such madmen before having power..."
"I must become stronger, I must become someone untouchable!"
Naruto's desire to become stronger surged intensely after the joint lessons from Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito.
Against these two extreme killers, one carrying a blood feud still targeting him...
What excuse is there left not to strive to become strong?
"Naruto, don't be afraid, you have me behind you."
Aomi's large hand clasped Naruto's small hand, with a gaze full of indescribable warmth and determination, he said slowly:
"Don't loathe yourself for being momentarily weak... You've already worked hard, you just need time to develop... once you understand the importance of power and strive tirelessly for it, having you witness today's spectacle has already provided enough meaning."
"Naruto, do you have the courage to face them?"
Aomi spoke softly: "Experience firsthand the helplessness of the weak against bullies, firmly remember this scene..."
"I will ensure your safety."
The Nine-tails beside them growled fiercely: "That beast! I smelled his filthy Chakra scent! It's absolutely ridiculous, does he really think he's controlling me?"
"If it weren't for Uchiha Madara, that bastard, signing a forced Summoning Contract with me, this laughing masked kid could never manipulate me!"
"Naruto, boldly confront him! I'll give you all my Chakra, plus Aomi is here too, what's there to be afraid of?"
