NARUTO: EXPOSED BY THE QUESTION AND ANSWER SYSTEM

Revealing the Secrets of the Nine-Tails Night!

Hearing the Second Hokage's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated. After all, what had happened that night was not only a great tragedy but also a disgraceful moment in Konoha's history—especially concerning the Uchiha clan.

[Senju Tobirama]: Monkey, what exactly is going on?

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Cough! Since the Third Hokage is unwilling to explain, let me do it.

[Konoha Salted Fish]: The truth is, before the Nine-Tails attack, the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan had been strained, but it hadn't completely fallen apart. However, that night changed everything.

[Senju Tobirama]: Wait… the Night of the Nine-Tails? What do you mean?

Tobirama, upon hearing the explanation, immediately caught onto a crucial detail—the night the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: This… this is a long story. Let's start with the Fourth Hokage!

[Senju Tobirama]: Fourth Hokage? ?

[Namikaze Minato]: Uh, that's me! !

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Yes, this is the Fourth Hokage, and he played a major role during the night of the Nine-Tails attack!

[Senju Tobirama]: Wait, wait—hold on a moment. He is the Fourth Hokage, and the monkey was the Third Hokage… so why is the monkey Hokage again?

[Uchiha Fugaku]: Oh, that's because Minato died, and Hiruzen took back the position.

[Senju Tobirama]: Took it back? How does that even work?

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Ahem, don't worry about the details for now—just listen to me!

[Senju Tobirama]: Fine, go on.

[Konoha Salted Fish]: The Fourth Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Kushina, was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. On the night she was giving birth, she was attacked, leading to the Nine-Tails being released into the village!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: And this person, wearing a mask, with a Mangekyō Sharingan visible under it... The interesting thing is that he actually called himself "Uchiha Madara"!

[Uchiha Madara]: Nonsense! The old man has been dead for years. How could I have attacked the Fourth Hokage's wife?

[Uzumaki Kushina]: Hmph! Who knows if you were really dead or not? If that person wasn't you, then who else could it be? How can you prove that he wasn't you?

[Uchiha Madara]: Hmph! Just because I am Uchiha Madara—if I wanted to kill, I wouldn't resort to sneak attacks!

[Namikaze Minato]: Ahem... Kushina, that person only claimed to be Uchiha Madara. We have no proof that it was really him.

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Alright, alright, stop arguing! I need to continue the story.

[Uzumaki Kushina]: Hmph! I'll give the administrator some face today and drop it.

[Uchiha Madara]: The old man will also give face. Continue.

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Well then, let's move on. Because of his attack, Kushina's seal on the Nine Tails weakened, allowing the beast to break free!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: After that, the Fourth Hokage fought against that masked man to protect his wife and son and finally won!

[Senju Hashirama]: Then how did he die???

Seeing Senju Hashirama's sudden interjection, Kaito couldn't help but laugh inwardly. He had a feeling that a famous scene was about to unfold!

[Namikaze Minato]: Uh…! Back to you, Shodai-sama, I died while sealing the Nine-Tails!

[Senju Hashirama]: What are you talking about? You need to die to seal that thing???

Senju Hashirama's words left Namikaze Minato speechless for a moment.

[Senju Tobirama]: That's enough, big brother. Do you think everyone is as much of a monster as you?

[Senju Hashirama]: There are three of us monsters here. My apologies!

[Uchiha Madara]: I'm a monster too. My condolences!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: I'm also a monster. My sincerest apologies!

[Senju Tobirama]: My mind is breaking apart!!!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Ahem, back to the main topic. Uchiha and Konoha completely fell apart because no Uchiha clan members were present the night the Nine-Tails attacked!

[Senju Tobirama]: Hmph! I always knew the Uchiha clan would bring trouble!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: No, no, you've misunderstood the Uchiha clan. They weren't involved because the Third Hokage and the higher-ups suspected them of controlling the Nine-Tails, so they were kept away during the attack.

[Senju Tobirama]: ??? Controlling the Nine-Tails? What do you mean?

[Konoha Salted Fish]: The Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan at that time!

[Senju Tobirama]: I see… so it was the one who called himself Uchiha Madara, right?

[Konoha Salted Fish]: That's right. Obito Uchiha, under the identity of Madara, used his Mangekyō Sharingan to manipulate the Nine-Tails and attacked Konoha. Because of this, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life using the Reaper Death Seal to seal the beast.

[Senju Hashirama]: I apologize for my earlier statement. You are a respectable ninja and a worthy Hokage!

[Namikaze Minato]: You're too kind, First Hokage. This was my duty to protect Konoha!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: But because of this incident, the Uchiha clan felt they were unjustly blamed and isolated by the village's higher-ups, which eventually led to their rebellion.

[Senju Tobirama]: So… this is still the monkey's fault??

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Well… yeah, kind of. The foundation that the First and Second Hokages built was nearly destroyed under his leadership. He had a good hand but played it terribly!

Hearing the legendary figures criticizing him like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to say a word and quietly retreated, hoping to avoid further judgment!
