Naruto's sudden question caught Hatake Kakashi off guard.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"

Uzumaki Naruto, who has always regarded himself as an orphan, has rarely played alone or been excluded by other children since he became a ninja.

This is also thanks to the fact that I made a few good friends in the Ninja School.

As for now, those who don’t know the inside story are naturally excluded.

Most of those who knew a little about it kept their distance from Uzumaki Naruto, just like ordinary villagers.

Those who really know the truth, on the contrary, keep it a secret because they are too embarrassed to do so.

The hero who saved the village and the son of the Fourth Hokage was actually ostracized and even treated roughly in the village, and no one could do anything about it.

When the village suffered losses and was licking its wounds, it needed an outlet to divert its attention. Besides, the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was indeed not suitable to be spread, so they could only let things develop in a direction that no one wanted to see.

Now, there is even less opportunity to confess.

People like Mizuki, senior jonin, and the top leaders of the major ninja families must know about it, but it is none of their business and they will not take the initiative to intervene.

Jiraiya, Tsunade and others were not in Konoha Village at the time, so they could not speak ill of the Third Hokage. Only Kakashi Hatake, who was not only Uzumaki Naruto's teacher, but also a subordinate and student who had received the favor of Naruto's father, his own teacher, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, could not avoid it.

As if realizing that Kakashi Hatake was in a difficult situation, Uzumaki Naruto became even more suspicious of the authenticity of what was happening in the mental space.

"Is it difficult to explain?"

Although he had imagined countless times what his parents looked like, he had never thought that the face he had played a prank on at the Hokage Rock would look like his father.

Naruto himself felt a little embarrassed by such a bizarre delusion.

"There's nothing I can't tell you. I didn't tell you before only because you didn't ask..."

Kakashi seemed to have made up his mind.

"Your father is my teacher. He sacrificed his life to protect the village more than ten years ago. My teacher is the former Fourth Hokage - Minato Namikaze!"

“Huh… is this true?”

The sudden truth surprised Uzumaki Naruto.

"But why am I called Uzumaki Naruto instead of Namikaze Naruto?"

"Because your mother's last name is Uzumaki. If you were called Namikaze Naruto, it would be too conspicuous. The last name Namikaze is not common. Then everyone would know that you are related to the Yondaime. The Sandaime probably arranged this to protect you!"

He did his best to protect the secret of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, even if it meant letting Naruto suffer some injustice in his childhood.

“I see!”

Uzumaki Naruto nodded, not quite understanding.

"Why don't you seem particularly excited? Having a heroic Yondaime Hokage as a father shouldn't be so dull, right?"

"Well..."

Naruto hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak out.

"Because I already knew in advance..."

Next, Naruto told Kakashi Hatake exactly what happened in the spiritual space.

"Teacher Kakashi, my father should have really died back then, but why is he here? Did he not die back then, or is it that..."

Naruto suddenly shuddered.

“Are there really ghosts in the world?”

"Nonsense, your father must have died back then, as for why he is here..."

Kakashi Hatake turned his head and looked at the unprepossessing Waterfall of Truth.

"Maybe this is the reason. It seems that the Falls of Truth is more magical than imagined."

This is a reasonable explanation. It is really amazing that one can dig out the hidden memories in a person's heart and even simulate many things that he himself does not understand.

"Maybe! Teacher Kakashi, I've been delayed here for a long time. Uncle Killer Bee must be waiting anxiously inside, so I'll go over first."

"Go ahead, we can't help you anymore!"

Here at the Falls of Truth, Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha were just there to be on the safe side.

The reason why powerful illusions that directly attack the mind are so terrifying is that once someone is hit, other people are basically helpless. This is different from ordinary illusions that can be removed by interfering with the chakra.

As for what happens next, the unique training between the Jinchūriki is not something that outsiders can interfere with. It depends on Naruto's own understanding.

As Naruto walked away, the only sounds left were the sound of the waterfall not far away and Kakashi and Sasuke who were staying there.

"This waterfall of truth is so magical, Sasuke, do you want to try it?"

"Kakashi-sensei, why don't you go in and take a look?"

"I probably won't make it. If it's really like what the Kumo Ninja said, and they specifically attack flawed inner loopholes..."

The more sentimental and complicated a person is, the more difficult it is for him to pass, especially those who have suffered mental trauma.

On the contrary, ninjas like Killer Bee and Uzumaki Naruto, who are focused and single-minded, have more advantages. If even Naruto finds it so difficult to pass, it will be even more difficult for others.

Kakashi knows his own weaknesses. Although he has come to terms with his father Hatake Sakumo's suicide, he is not completely without complaint, and even he himself is unsure.

What's more, the matter between Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin left a big hole in his heart.

Until you have completely processed your thoughts, the chances of passing through the Falls of Reality are too slim.

However, Uchiha Sasuke is eager to try...

"If the Falls of Truth is really as magical as Naruto said, I'd like to go in and take a look..."

"Really? That's fine!"

Hatake Kakashi nodded. Sasuke, who has already opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, may not be as mentally simple as Naruto, but he has a strong mind and is good at illusion, especially with his bloodline limit - the Mangekyō Sharingan. It is quite curious what will happen when he collides with the so-called waterfall of reality.

"Don't be stubborn. If anything goes wrong, stop it immediately. You don't need to put yourself in danger in a place like this."

"I see. In fact, I expect the Falls of Truth to be even more powerful. Otherwise, it would be too boring."

He already knew deeply that the power of his Mangekyō Sharingan came from his own spirit.

So, as to what kind of emotion supports such a powerful force, Uchiha Sasuke feels that it is not meaningless to figure this out.
