Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

But this did not break his spirit; he remained silent and dormant.

As the clan leader, he was often constrained by others in many matters.

"Fugaku, you are still so weak. A mere Namikaze ninja has you tied down."

Uchiha Setsuna's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

He's probably the only one in the Uchiha clan who dares to speak to the clan leader like that.

“Namikaze Mirai is no ordinary ninja. I have had contact with him before, so I know him even better.”

Despite Uchiha Setsuna's sarcasm, Fugaku showed no emotion and remained calm in his tone.

He and Namikaze Mirai were ninjas of the same generation and had many interactions. This man, who always seemed to be smiling, was far more terrifying than Minato.

If he hadn't mysteriously disappeared, the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox probably wouldn't have happened.

"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it."

Uchiha Setsuna gripped his cane, a hint of a smile appearing in his hawk-like eyes.

He wanted to see what was so special about this man whom Fugaku so highly regarded.

……

"Uncle, is dinner this lavish tonight?"

At the dining table, Naruto's mouth watered as he looked at the table full of food, while an excited fly rubbed his hands together.

While dinners have always been plentiful, none have ever been as lavish as tonight's, especially with a huge cake placed in the center of the dishes.

"Because it's your birthday today, you silly nephew!"

She flicked him on the forehead with a crisp sound, and Namikaze Mirai's eyes crinkled into crescent shapes with laughter.

Come to think of it, this should be Naruto's first birthday, right?

"My...birthday..."

Naruto rubbed his forehead, a hint of curiosity showing in his deep blue eyes.

The word "birthday" is very distant for him.

It seems that no one has ever celebrated his birthday.

Naruto's eyes welled up with tears, and he couldn't help but sob.

“I used to envy other children who celebrated their birthdays inside the window, and I hoped that my great-grandfather could celebrate it for me once, but he refused because he was too busy with work.”

"Thank you, Uncle."

Namikaze Mirai laughed as she messed up Naruto's bright blond hair.

"What Hiruzen Sarutobi can give you, I can give you too. What he can't give you, I can also give you."

"Naruto, make a wish!"

"A wish..."

"I want to become Hokage and gain everyone's recognition!"

Naruto?

Namikaze Mirai smiled brightly.

Just like your father's wish!

However, you should line up after your uncle.

Because my uncle wants to be Hokage too!

"Oh, right, this is a gift I prepared for you."

Namikaze Mirai pulled out a scroll.

"Gift?"

Naruto opened the door with expectant eyes, then froze.

The scroll contained things he couldn't understand at all; it looked like blueprints for some kind of machine, with two narrow parallel tracks at the front and a trigger or something similar in the middle.

"With an electromagnetic railgun, your uncle can feel a little more at ease about you."

Namikaze Mirai said with a smile.

Having mastered electromagnetic forces, he possesses superhuman control over technology.

Each upgrade of the Electromagnetic Tree will also give birth to some brand new technology trees in your mind.

The electromagnetic railgun was a weapon he unlocked a long time ago.

After returning to the village, he was constantly worried about Naruto's future.

Although he is a Jinchūriki, he has a weak and kind personality.

Can they really survive in the ninja world?

Could it be... that I'll be a genin for the rest of my life?

No, we must arm Naruto.

I absolutely cannot let my nephew be bullied by others.

There's a kind of weakness called "your uncle thinks you're weak!"

The electromagnetic railgun is just the beginning; exoskeleton armor, mechs, floating cannons, star destroyers... Naruto will be armed to the teeth.

Scientific research should start from childhood, so that Naruto can win at the starting line.

The flame of doting affection burned fiercely in Namikaze Mirai's eyes!

Chapter 10 Visiting the Uchiha Clan

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

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

Hokage Room.

The cat-faced masked undercover agent, kneeling on one knee, respectfully revealed all the information he had gathered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, exhaled a puff of white smoke, his grey-brown eyes revealing a hint of confusion amidst the swirling mist.

Mechanical device?

Is it some kind of ninja tool?

How did Naruto suddenly develop this hobby?

Although Naruto was somewhat aloof and sometimes played pranks, he didn't seem to be interested in things like ninja tools.

What exactly caused him to make this change?

Is it the future of Namikaze...?

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Blue Flash did seem to demonstrate some kind of mechanical ability, but as a ninja, ninjutsu is the standard for measuring a ninja's strength.

No matter how excellent the ninja tools are, can they really enable ordinary people to fight against ninjas?

My head is starting to hurt again.

My temples feel like they're about to split open.

Even with continuous rubbing with my index finger, there was no relief whatsoever.

Since Miki Namikaze returned to the village, it seems that many things have started to fall into chaos.

At this rate, Naruto might go astray!

What will Naruto become under the tutelage of this strange uncle?

Minato, I'm sorry, I failed to teach Naruto properly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried about Naruto's future.

At this age, some descendants of powerful ninja clans have already begun chakra refinement training, but what is he tinkering with?

"And the Uchiha clan seems to be getting restless lately, holding clan meetings more and more frequently..."

Danzo has expressed his anger about this matter many times, and the door to the Hokage's office has been replaced one after another.

Even so, she couldn't withstand his continued fucking.

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

This resulted in an extra item in Konoha's fiscal expenditures.

"Fortunately, there's still Itachi."

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

Although Itachi was Fugaku's son, he possessed the rare mindset of a Hokage and was a ninja who inherited the Will of Fire.

When Itachi gets a little older, he plans to recruit him into the Anbu and train him as a spy to be planted in the Uchiha clan.
