Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

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

Everything is for Konoha.

……

at the same time.

Uchiha clan.

The long-sealed entrance to the clan's territory welcomed two unfamiliar guests.

Uchiha Chika, who was guarding the entrance to the clan's territory, squinted as he sized up the two figures approaching.

One was big, the other small, and both had yellow hair.

"Wait, that's Uchiha clan territory!"

His arrogant tone was practically downright haughty, typical of the Uchiha clan.

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

Naruto, who was holding Mirai's hand, turned to look at his uncle beside him.

He didn't understand why his uncle had come here, or why he had brought him along.

However, Naruto would agree to anything his uncle wanted to do.

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

"Tell Fugaku that I have arrived."

???

The Uchiha were simply stunned.

Kuroko cautiously leaned closer: "Brother, isn't Fugaku the clan leader? Is this person here to see the clan leader?"

The Uchiha clan grew increasingly panicked the more they looked at Kanami Fumiaki.

That head of blond hair, could it be...?

Blue flash?

The Fourth Hokage's younger brother?

He thought it was dyed.

Upon recognizing Namikaze Mirai's identity, Uchiha Itsuki's tone immediately softened.

"Please come with me."

……

The patriarch's residence.

Fugaku Uchiha, who was enjoying his tea, was suddenly interrupted by a sound from outside the door.

"Chieftain, it seems that Bo Feng's visit to the clan's territory is for your sake."

Fugaku paused in his tea-drinking motion, slowly setting down the teacup, and calmly said.

"I see."

He had already received word from Itachi that Namikaze would be visiting soon, but he hadn't expected her to arrive so quickly.

"Notify Elder Setsuna, and also Inahi Tetsuka Hachidai and the others..."

He paused.

"Also, call Itachi over here."

"Yes."

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

Now, we can only deal with whatever comes our way.

……

Namikaze Mirai led Naruto, following behind Uchiha Itachi, and surveyed the surrounding Uchiha clan territory.

desolate.

This was his first impression.

The sparse buildings hardly seem to have any life in them.

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

I never imagined that in just three years, things would have fallen to this state.

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

As you walk along, ordinary houses gradually disappear, replaced by mansions that occupy vast areas.

Pushing open the door, Mirai Namikaze saw a familiar figure leading a three- or four-year-old boy.

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

Naruto excitedly jumped out, pointing at Sasuke next to Itachi.

Sasuke's youthful face instantly turned red; he was furious.

"You're the girl, your whole family are..."

The words abruptly stopped.

Sasuke glanced at Namikaze Mirai next to Naruto and swallowed hard.

This man is feared even by my brother...

He dared not continue speaking, for Itachi's behavior that day was still vivid in his mind.

As if he hadn't noticed him, Namikaze Mirai maintained her usual faint smile and gently nudged Naruto's shoulder, pushing him toward Sasuke.

"Go and play!"

"Huh? Is that okay?"

"of course."

At this age, you should be having fun!

Namikaze Mirai smiled as she looked at Sasuke. This kid, although he looks a bit like a girl, would be a good playmate for Naruto.

Itachi gently nudged Sasuke, his voice mild: "Sasuke, the adults need to talk. You can stay here and play with your friend!"

After saying that, he looked at Namikaze Mirai without waiting for Sasuke's agreement.

"Please come with me."

The door to the clan head's residence was pushed open, and Namikaze Mirai glanced inside. Uchiha Fugaku was sitting in the middle chair, surrounded by several other Uchiha clan members, all of whom were Jonin-level.

A tense atmosphere filled the air.

Uchiha Setsuna leaned on his cane, his eyes slightly narrowed as he sized up the man whom Fugaku was so wary of.

Is he Minato's younger brother?

As the younger brother of the Fourth Hokage who died young, he certainly had some manners.

"What brings you here today?"

Fugaku Uchiha's voice was deep.

Three years later, he still couldn't see through Bofeng's future.

This man has always steadily kept him under control.

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

Namikaze Mirai, ever the expert with a sly smile, stared at Uchiha Fugaku.

Fugaku's expression changed slightly.

Itachi, standing behind him, also suddenly froze.

Even Uchiha Setsuna Inahi and the others standing to the side had a hint of anger in their eyes, staring at Namikaze Mirai with murderous intent.

Chapter 11 My uncle is the best person in the world to me!

Mikoto is the wife of Fugaku Uchiha, the wife of the Uchiha clan leader!

Her name, in a sense, represents the face of the Uchiha clan.

When Namikaze Mirai addressed him by his name so directly, with a hint of mockery in her tone, it was seen as a blatant provocation by Uchiha Setsuna and the others.

"Mikoto is fine, you don't need to worry about her."

As the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha knew that he must not let his emotions get the better of him at this moment.

He took a breath and answered in a calm tone.

Uchiha Setsuna, Inahisa, and the others watched Fugaku. Seeing that Fugaku remained calm and his expression did not change at all, they all secretly withdrew their thoughts of speaking.

Since Fugaku wasn't angry, they, as outsiders, naturally had no reason to speak up.
