Chapter 10 Visiting the Uchiha Tribe

"You mean, Naruto has been tinkering with mechanical devices these days?"

"Yes, I've been monitoring outside for a long time. The Jinchuriki seems to be studying something like ninja tools. Because of Namikaze Mirai, we dare not get too close and can only observe from a distance."

Hokage room.

The half-kneeling cat-faced masked Anbu respectfully revealed all the information he had learned.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, biting the cigarette holder, exhaled a white mist, and his gray-brown eyes revealed a trace of confusion in the mist.

Mechanical device?

Some kind of ninja tool?

Why did Naruto suddenly have this hobby?

Although Naruto was a little withdrawn in the past, and even made some pranks from time to time, he didn't seem to be interested in things like ninja tools.

What exactly caused him to make this change?

Is it Namikaze Mirai...

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

In the third war, the blue flash did seem to reveal some talent for mechanical devices, but as a ninja, ninjutsu is the standard for measuring ninja strength.

No matter how good the ninja tools are, can ordinary people still fight against ninjas?

My head started to hurt again.

The temple seemed to be split.

Even though I kept massaging it with my index finger, it didn't get any relief.

Since Namikaze Mirai returned to the village, it seemed that many things had started to go wrong.

At this rate, I'm afraid Naruto will grow crooked!

What will Naruto look like in the future under the training of this weird uncle?

Minato, I'm sorry for not teaching Naruto well.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried about Naruto's future.

At this age, the descendants of the great ninjas have already started chakra refining training, but what kind of machinery is he tinkering with?

"And the Uchiha, they seem to be restless recently, and the frequency of holding clan meetings is getting higher and higher..."

Danzo has expressed his anger about this matter many times, and the doors of the Hokage room have been changed one after another.

But even so, he couldn't stand it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't understand why his old friend would slam the door every time he said "Huruzen, you will regret it!"

This made Konoha's financial expenditure have one more item for nothing.

"Fortunately, there is Itachi."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's wrinkled old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Although Itachi is Fugaku's son, he has the rare thinking of a Hokage and is a ninja who has inherited the will of fire.

When Itachi grows up, he plans to take Itachi into the Anbu and train him as an eyeliner for Uchiha.

With Itachi's support, the future of Uchiha will not go astray.

Everything is for Konoha.

…

At the same time.

Uchiha clan land.

The long-sealed clan land entrance welcomed two strange guests.

Uchiha Jiin, who was guarding the clan land entrance, squinted his eyes and looked at the two figures coming.

One big and one small, both with yellow hair.

"Wait, the Uchiha clan land is inside!"

The arrogant tone is almost like looking up, full of Uchiha characteristics.

"Uncle, they don't seem to welcome us."

Naruto, who was holding Namikaze Mirai's hand, turned his head and looked at his uncle beside him.

He didn't understand why his uncle came here and why he brought him along.

But Naruto would agree to whatever his uncle wanted to do.

Smiling and rubbing Naruto's hair, Namikaze Mirai turned her head and spoke calmly.

"Tell Fugaku that I'm here."

? ? ?

Uchiha Jiyin was stunned.

Kuroko next to him came over cautiously: "Brother Jiyin, Fugaku is the clan leader, right? Is this person here to see the clan leader?"

Uchiha Jiyin looked up and down at Namikaze Mirai, and the more he looked, the more panicked he became.

Could this yellow hair be...

Blue flash?

The younger brother of the fourth Hokage?

He thought it was dyed.

After recognizing Namikaze Mirai's identity, Uchiha Jiyin's tone softened immediately.

"Please come with me."

...

The clan leader's mansion.

Uchiha Fugaku, who was sipping tea, was suddenly interrupted by a voice outside the door.

"Clan leader, Namikaze Mirai's visit to the clan seems to be for you."

Fugaku sipped tea for a moment, slowly put down the teacup, and said calmly.

"I know."

He had heard from Itachi that Namikaze Mirai would come to visit him in the near future, but he didn't expect her to come so soon.

"Notify Elder Setsuna, and Inahime Tetsuka Yashiro and the others..."

He paused.

"Also, call Itachi here."

"Yes."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the empty room. He didn't know the purpose of Namikaze Mirai's visit, nor did he know his opinion on the Nine-Tails Night.

Now, he could only fight back.

...

Namikaze Mirai led Naruto, followed behind Uchiha Jiin, and scanned the surrounding Uchiha clan land.

Desolate.

This was his first impression.

The sparse buildings hardly showed much life.

Before leaving the village, Uchiha was one of the largest ninja clans in Konoha, with a thriving population and in a period of vigorous growth.

I didn't expect that after only three years, it had become so desolate.

It seems that that night also had a great impact on Uchiha.

As they walked along, ordinary houses gradually disappeared, replaced by mansions that occupied a large area.

Pushing the door open, Namikaze Mirai saw a familiar figure leading a boy of about three or four years old.

"It's the guy who looks like a girl."

Naruto jumped out excitedly and pointed at Sasuke next to Itachi.

His young cheeks instantly turned red, and Sasuke was going crazy.

"You are a girl, your whole family is..."

The words stopped suddenly.

Sasuke looked at Namikaze Mirai next to Naruto and swallowed.

Even my brother is afraid of this man...

He didn't dare to continue talking, because Itachi's performance that day was vivid in his mind.

Namikaze Mirai seemed not to notice him, still smiling slightly, gently pushing Naruto's shoulder and pushing him in the direction of Sasuke.

"Go and play!"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"certainly."

You should have fun at this age!

Namikaze Mirai looked at Sasuke with a smile. Although this kid looked a bit like a girl, he would be a good playmate for Naruto.

Itachi also nudged Sasuke and said in a gentle voice: "Sasuke, the adults have to talk about something. You can play with that friend here!"

After saying that, he didn't wait for Sasuke's agreement and looked at Namikaze Mirai.

"Please come with me."

The door to the clan leader's mansion was pushed open, and Namikaze Mirai glanced inside. Uchiha Fugaku was sitting on the chair in the middle, surrounded by several other Uchiha clan members, all of whom were at the jounin level.

There was a hint of tension in the air.

Uchiha leaned on his crutches, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the man who made Fugaku so afraid.

Minato's younger brother?

As the younger brother of the Fourth Hokage who died young, Daoya did have some grace.

"Future, why are you here this time?"

Uchiha Fugaku's voice was low.

Three years later, he still couldn't see the future of Namikaze.

This man who had been holding him down steadily.

"Fugaku, I wonder how Mikoto is doing now?"

Namikaze Mirai said nothing and stared at Uchiha Fugaku with a smile.

Fugaku's expression changed slightly.

Itachi, who was standing behind him, also suddenly stiffened.
