Chapter 157 Naruto Uchiha

"That's a lot!"

Minato screamed in shock. He could no longer maintain his composure, and his face was replaced by disbelief, horror, and even a little panic.

"Where did you get your Sharingan from?"

"I can't reach it!"

Naruto stared at Minato with his beautiful big eyes, looking slightly bewildered.

At this moment, it felt as if Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, and many other veteran actors had possessed him.

He is not fighting alone!
Looking into those jewel-like blue eyes, Minato saw bewilderment, innocence, and even a perfectly balanced mix of confusion and curiosity.

Naruto seemed genuinely unaware of this, and even expected his father to provide an answer.

Minato forced himself to calm down; it was an instinct he relied on to survive as a top-tier ninja.

His sharp gaze was fixed on Naruto's slowly rotating crimson Sharingan with three tomoe.

However, the more he examined it, the deeper the doubts in Minato's mind became!

Where did these three-tomoe Sharingan come from?

Unlike Kakashi's transplanted Sharingan, which cannot be turned off, Naruto's eyes, which were just like his own azure blue eyes, have now become three-tomoe Sharingan.

Clearly, Naruto can freely control the opening and closing of his Sharingan.

This means that Naruto can control it perfectly!
This kind of absolute control is something only members of the Uchiha clan can achieve.

Alternatively, those with Uchiha bloodlines are also acceptable!

The thought exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt, and Minato was momentarily questioning his existence!
Uchiha bloodline?
Is Naruto, who possesses these Sharingan eyes, really still my son?
suddenly,

Minato, who was always known for his calmness and wisdom, felt his mind was completely blank at this moment!
He carefully sorted out his thoughts.

Does Naruto have Uchiha blood?
It definitely exists!

The fact that he has Sharingan eyes is undeniable; even if he denies it, he can't find a reason to deny it.

Is the Naruto standing before me definitely his child?
The water gates began to be verified one by one:

This is the Nine-Tails' sealed space, that's right!
He personally sealed the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, that's right!

Naruto is Kushina's biological son, born after she carried him for ten months!
Then,

Now only one question remains: Is Naruto his biological son?

Minato's gaze returned to Naruto: his signature bright blond hair, now with black and red three-tomoe Sharingan, but he had previously seen Naruto with his own eyes that he had a pair of big, blue eyes.

And their appearances are so similar, they're practically identical. You could pick up any random person on the street and they'd be a father and son.

Wait, her nose actually looks a lot like Kushina's too.

Then think of the Uchiha clan, with their black hair and black eyes.

That's right.

Minato was certain of all of this; this was indeed his biological son.

But how do you explain these strange and out-of-place Sharingan eyes?!
Minato was a little confused and couldn't understand it.

What exactly went wrong?
Could it really be a bloodline issue, as Naruto suggested?
Minato knew that this problem could only lie with his parents, namely himself and Kushina.

Could it be Kushina?

She is from the Uzumaki clan and was born in the Land of Whirlpools. She left the village for Konoha when she was a child, so it's impossible for her to have any connection with the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, the only variable lies within oneself.

Could it be that my ancestors really had some unknown blood connection with the Uchiha clan?
This revolutionary conjecture, like a boulder thrown into his heart, stirred up a tidal wave in Minato Namikaze's mind!
Naruto observed with great interest the ever-changing, multicolored expression on Minato's face, which resembled a dye shop, and understood what was going on.

This person must be thinking, and having a fierce internal struggle!
The brain must be in complete chaos, right?

Put yourself in their shoes; if your son suddenly appeared with Sharingan eyes, you'd probably be completely bewildered for a while!

Where in the middle of nowhere could one find Uchiha blood?
Think about it!

Think hard!
Naruto had high hopes for his new father, whom he was meeting for the first time!

After all, the Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, and even the Rinnegan will not be kept secret in the future!

As the saying goes, "Wealth and honor without returning home is like wearing fine clothes at night."

With these eyes, Naruto would feel uncomfortable if he didn't show off!

I wish I could crawl around the leaf a couple of times right now.

Him! Naruto Uzumaki! His greatest love in life is showing off!
In particular, one day in front of Sasuke, he openly revealed his Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan.

'Hehe, Sasuke, look at my Mangekyou Sharingan. Aren't they pretty?'

Gee
He was really looking forward to seeing Sasuke's expression then!

Just thinking about it made him incredibly excited!

So, the Fourth Generation Father!
You'd better think hard!

Let's try to clear up the origins of those Sharingan eyes as soon as possible!

Seeing this, Naruto decided to add fuel to the fire, not to give him another mental imprint!

He feigned caution, asking with a mixture of trepidation and hope, "Don't you, my own father, have these eyes?"

"?!"

This frank, almost self-assured tone made Minato instantly doubt himself.

Could it be that I've been expelled from my family lineage?

Should I own it?
wrong!

Naruto has it, so as his father, I should have it too!
Then why don't I have it?

Could it be because he lacks talent?

But, as the young Fourth Hokage, who is less talented than me?
Minato fell into deep self-examination and contemplation!
He looked up blankly and met Naruto's bright, expectant eyes.

In the depths of those clear pupils, Minato seemed to see a...
The little animal, ostracized by its tribe because of its unusual appearance, finally finds its father and longs to find the same 'different' characteristics in him, so as to prove that it is not alone!
At this moment, Naruto was hoping for a positive answer from him.

However, Minato didn't know how to respond to his expectations.

He has never possessed the Sharingan!

"So, even you don't have the Sharingan?" Naruto sighed.

Minato caught a fleeting glimpse of melancholy in Naruto's eyes, and his heart clenched, a sharp, stinging pain shooting through him!

"Naruto,"

His voice grew gentler, carrying a soothing tone: "When did these eyes of yours appear?"

When did it appear?

Naruto tilted his head, pretending to recall, and then smoothly wove together a story: "I remember it was once, when I made my first friend in life."

I was so happy! Then, when I looked in the mirror when I got home that night, I saw a pair of eyes like these in the mirror.

Is it that simple?

Minato remembered that the conditions for awakening the Uchiha Sharingan seemed to be quite demanding.

"How old were you?"

Seemingly remembering something, Minato pressed for details.

"How old?" Naruto pretended to think. "Probably around six years old?"

Naruto remembered the friends he had made in his first year of high school: a boy with a pineapple-shaped haircut and a chubby little boy.

Six years old?

Throughout the history of the Uchiha clan, there has never been a record of someone awakening their Sharingan at the age of six.

Even more astonishing is that he had already reached the three-tomoe level at the age of 12.

No, at least before the age of 12!
As the Hokage, Minato knew a great deal of information, and in the Hokage's private intelligence room, he could see information that was unimaginable to the outside world.

Naruto's growth trajectory is something even Madara Uchiha could hardly match!

Suddenly!

A bold idea, seemingly capable of explaining everything, struck Minato's mind like lightning!

"Naruto," he said with a hint of urgency, "when did your three-tomoe Sharingan appear?"

How old?

Although Naruto didn't understand what he meant, he already had a plan in mind: "Probably, around the same age? Six years old, right?"

She's only six years old and already has three tomoe?

This kid's talent is terrifyingly high!

However, this precisely confirms his shocking conjecture.

But Naruto hadn't finished speaking.

"After the three-tomoe Sharingan, there actually appeared another type of eye that surpasses it."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Minato's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart nearly skipped a beat!
Is it
impossible!

Naruto is only twelve years old! As if in response to his surprise, the three tomoe in Naruto's Sharingan slowly rotated, then suddenly accelerated!
The magatama intertwine and deform, eventually coalescing into a four-cornered shuriken pattern exuding a profound and sinister aura.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

Sure enough, it appeared!
Minato's breathing suddenly stopped; his intensely focused gaze almost suffocated him.

He would never be mistaken; this was the forbidden and powerful force recorded in the Second Hokage's files—the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It actually awakened in Naruto!
However, in the research of the second generation, the price to open these eyes is often a profound loss!

“Naruto,” Minato’s voice was filled with barely concealed worry, “Have any of your close friends passed away?”

"A close friend has passed away?"

Naruto looked completely bewildered. Why was he suddenly asking this?
Hmm. Wait.

Could it be because of the conditions for activating the kaleidoscope?

The intense emotional fluctuations seem to make sense given the death of a close friend.

This old man actually knows a lot about kaleidoscopes?
Immediately, Naruto became more wary.

Now, I can't keep making things up.

"No close friend has passed away."

Naruto spoke with certainty, slowly recounting his fabrication: "I remember back then, my friends praised my grilled fish for being incredibly delicious, and I was overjoyed! When I got home that night and looked in the mirror, hey! I discovered these even cooler eyes had appeared!"

"."

Upon hearing this, Minato was once again stunned into silence.

The Mangekyou Sharingan, is it really that simple?
Or are you happy?
Is it just happiness?

Why is it different from what the second generation researched?
However, staring into Naruto's eyes at those strange Mangekyou Sharingan, Minato became even more determined in his decision.

"I've heard that these eyes are a unique mark of the Uchiha clan. Why... do I also possess the Sharingan?"

Naruto had already quietly withdrawn his Mangekyou Sharingan. At this moment, he opened his clear, innocent blue eyes, his face sparkling with the innocent foolishness of a college student—no, confusion.

“My classmate Sasuke Uchiha has a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe.”

He tentatively asked, "Your surname is Namikaze, while mine is Uzumaki, yet I also possess the Sharingan. Could it be that... I should actually be surnamed Uchiha?"

"So, my name should be Uchiha Naruto?"

Uchiha Naruto?

Do not!
It shouldn't be like this!
Seeing Naruto's confused and slightly aggrieved expression, Minato felt a strong sense of responsibility.

We must get to the root of the problem!

Although he sensed that his chakra was about to run out and time was running out, he still had to calm Naruto down!

"That's a lot!"

Minato's voice was gentle yet powerful, carrying a reassuring calmness that interrupted Naruto's reverie.

He reached out his warm, large hand and gently covered Naruto's brilliant blond hair, as if soothing a restless little animal, and gently rubbed it.

"Don't panic, I have a guess, and it's highly likely!"

"possibility?"

"Yes." Minato nodded firmly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
"That's basically true. I believe that our ancestors in the Namikaze clan may have had blood interbreeding with the Uchiha clan, thus possessing a faint trace of Uchiha blood!"
Due to the passage of time and the dilution of bloodlines, the Sharingan had never appeared until your birth! Your exceptional talent, far surpassing that of your ancestors, has successfully awakened this dormant power, resulting in a 'reversion' phenomenon.

Minato was absolutely convinced of this conjecture.

As for why I didn't revert to my ancestral ways?
It must be because they lack talent!
Even though he was the Fourth Hokage at a young age, he still seemed far inferior to a genius like Naruto!
"Atavism?"

Naruto repeated the word, his face showing a look of half-understanding, but inside he was overjoyed!

Atavism?

This explanation is absolutely perfect!
However, the ancestry he returned to should not be from his father's lineage.

Rather, it's from the lineage of her mother, Kushina Uzumaki.

After all, Naruto had previously speculated that all innate bloodline limits should originate from the Sage of Six Paths.

Whether it's the Uzumaki, Uchiha, or Hyuga clans, they all originated from the same ancestor.

Therefore, if I, Naruto, were to revert to my ancestral lineage, I should be reverting to the progenitor of the Uzumaki lineage.

That is, the Sage of Six Paths!

Naruto nodded to himself. Very good, he had found the reason.

It perfectly matches his 'identity' as the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.

Even if the Sage of Six Paths is known in the world for his Rinnegan, surely he also possessed the Sharingan at some point?

No?

That’s okay too!

Perfect timing! I, Naruto Uzumaki, also have the Rinnegan!

"really?"

Naruto looked up, his gaze passing over Minato's arm, and looking into Minato's expectant blue eyes, his eyes seeking confirmation.

"of course it's true!"

Minato's smile was kind and resolute, carrying an undeniable certainty.

In an instant, with a hint of barely perceptible regret, he said, "Naruto! My chakra is almost depleted, I have to go."

"However, I have always believed in you, believed that you are the child of prophecy that Jiraiya-sensei spoke of. This belief has never wavered since the moment you were born!"

Now, I trust this even more! The future peace of the ninja world rests in your hands!

Before he finished speaking, Minato's golden figure began to gradually become transparent, and it looked as if it was about to completely dissipate into this space!

"Wait. I have something else I'd like to show you. Like, do you think these contact lenses I'm wearing look good?"

Naruto shouted eagerly, he hadn't finished showing off in front of his father yet!

Just as Minato's figure was about to completely disappear, the azure blue pupils in Naruto's eyes suddenly faded.

Instead, it wasn't the scarlet Sharingan that Minato had envisioned.

Instead, they were a pair of eyes that shone with a deep, eerie purple light, with layers of mysterious circles in their pupils, like the cycle of heaven and earth.

"This is!"

Minato's last remaining illusory image jolted violently. "The Rinnegan?"

The gasp of shock and disbelief still echoed in my ears.

Suddenly, Minato's figure completely transformed into specks of golden light and vanished without a trace.

It's quite bald.

Looking at the empty space in front of him, Naruto knew that his father had disappeared.

As for the final surprise, let him ponder it in the Pure Land.

Isn't it all a case of atavism?
Whoever gets the refund, it's still a refund, isn't it?

However, looking at his missing father, Naruto couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

I never imagined that the Nine-Tails would be the only legacy left to me by my biological father whom I had never met.

It evokes quite a few emotions.

Fatherly love is silent, yet it weighs as heavy as a thousand pounds!

Indeed heavy
He suppressed himself for a full twelve years.

But forget it!
On the bright side, if it weren't for this seal, I wouldn't have made a friend like Kurama, would I?

Upon thinking of this, Naruto's melancholy quietly dissipated.

So, as a future father, Naruto began to think about what he could leave for the next generation.
When I get back, I will write down nearly a thousand powerful S-rank and A-rank ninjutsu on scrolls.

Keep it as a family heirloom!
Other than that,

Aren't all these diverse bloodline limits on his body a form of wealth?

My own child. This initial buff seems a bit too much!
never mind,

It's too early to talk about the next generation.

I don't even have a boyfriend yet!

Why think that far ahead!

Snapped!
The crisp snap of his fingers echoed, and Naruto's figure flashed, returning to the dark space where the Nine-Tails was sealed.

Looking around, there was no one else but the red fox lying listlessly in the cage.

That father's chakra setting only triggers when the Eight-Tails goes berserk.

So, what about Mom Kushina?

When and how will she appear?
Shaking his head, Naruto stopped thinking about it.

His gaze sharpened, focusing once again on the enormous Bagua seal!
