Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils trembled slightly, Danzo's eyes also trembled, and the portrait of the Third Hokage hanging in the Hokage Room had been completely pierced.

The gentle smile that was once wearing a straw hat is now just a hollow hole scorched by the high temperature, with wisps of smoke rising from it, and the buildings behind it are clearly visible.

This attack actually pierced through the entire Hokage Building!

"Enemy attack! Protect the Hokage!"

Hidden in the corner, the members of the Dark Guard appeared beside Hiruzen Sarutobi amidst the sound of something cutting through the air, protecting him tightly in the middle.

That attack was too fast! Too fast!

It was so fast they couldn't even react!

By the time they came to their senses, the Hokage Building had already been breached.

The air became incredibly heavy, oppressive like frozen ice. The guards in the shadows bobbed their throats, nervously swallowing their saliva.

Even Danzo, who was usually ruthless, couldn't stop sweat from seeping from his forehead.

This incredibly fast attack reminded him of the renowned secret techniques from the Three World Wars.

Is it possible...

In the deathly silence, the door to the Hokage's office creaked open.

Looking at the blond figure that appeared, Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth slightly.

"It really was you, Blue Flash! What exactly do you want?"

Chapter 4 My sister-in-law is a very gentle person!

Blue flash? ??

The moment this long-forgotten name appeared from Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth, the eyes of the surrounding Anbu members behind their masks suddenly jolted.

That was once a legend.

The glory of Konoha, one of the two-color flashes.

The younger brother with yellow flashing lights has blue flashing lights!

According to statistics, the number of enemies who died at his hands in the three wars was even higher than that of the Yellow Flash!

However, three years ago, the blue flash mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

To this day, many people have forgotten his existence.

"uncle……"

Naruto, who was following behind Mirai Namikaze, nervously tugged at the corner of his clothes.

At only three years old, he didn't understand the meaning of "blue flash?", nor did he understand why these dark forces were so tense.

All he knew was that damaging the Hokage Building and trespassing into the Hokage's room were not things a good kid should do.

"I would be so happy if you could come back in the future."

Perhaps noticing the hostile gaze from Namikaze Mirai, Sarutobi Hiruzen revealed a kind smile, a benevolent smile that felt like a gentle breeze.

He completely forgot that not long ago, he was discussing with Danzo how to deal with the future threat of Namikaze.

After glancing at everyone in the Hokage's room, Namikaze Mirai grinned.

"I came here this time for only one thing."

"I want justice for my nephew!"

His voice turned cold as he spoke his last words, as if a chill had swept through the room, causing the temperature to drop several degrees.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile was somewhat forced.

I don't understand what you're saying?

“Naruto is the descendant of a hero. I have always paid attention to his life and he has never lacked living expenses. What justice do you want to seek?”

Namikaze Mirai chuckled.

"To be branded a fox spirit and subjected to the bullying of the entire village—is this the treatment a hero's son should receive?"

Fox spirit...

Upon hearing those two words, the expressions of the Anbu members surrounding Hiruzen Sarutobi changed.

Many of them knew that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and some even had the task of monitoring Naruto and witnessing him being bullied by the villagers.

But they turned a blind eye; as a machine of the dark side, completing the mission was his highest duty.

One of the white-haired cat-faced mask members, hidden in the shadows, trembled slightly involuntarily.

It seemed that Namikaze Mirai's words had a strange effect on him.

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke, sighing.

"This is a sacrifice that had to be made in order to protect the identity of the Jinchuriki."

“If Naruto’s identity is exposed, he will face many unnecessary dangers. For the sake of the village, I have no choice but to do this.”

A hint of disdain flashed in Namikaze Mirai's eyes.

"For the sake of the village? What a high-sounding excuse! I remember my brother had a considerable fortune before he died, right? Even if he died young, shouldn't that fortune be inherited by his son Naruto?"

“Naruto is not yet an adult, so I will keep this inheritance for now. It will be handed over to Naruto when he comes of age.”

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Mirai Namikaze.

“There’s no need to wait until Naruto comes of age. Now that I’m back, as Naruto’s uncle, I am naturally his guardian and have the right to inherit this estate.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"What? You don't mean you want to keep this inheritance for yourself, do you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless; his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.

He simply cannot afford this inheritance!

After the Nine-Tails' night, the village suffered heavy casualties. The compensation for the families of the dead ninjas and the reconstruction of the village alone amounted to an astronomical sum.

He had already used the portion of the Watergate legacy for other purposes.

If Mirai Namikaze insists on taking this inheritance, it would be tantamount to taking his life.

"In the future, as you know, the village urgently needs reconstruction after that night, and all the measures require financial support. I can only..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi licked his dry lips, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again by Mirai Namikaze.

"So, you really did embezzle my brother's inheritance..."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

As the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze's wealth was considerable, and his sister-in-law, Kushina, was the sole heir of the Uzumaki clan, inheriting a portion of Mito Uzumaki's estate.

Such a large fortune, enough for Naruto to squander for several lifetimes, was forcibly taken away by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even if, even if only a tiny bit remains!

That would have prevented Naruto from having such a miserable childhood.

Seeing that Namikaze Mirai's eyes were gradually turning cold, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew he was in the wrong, so he turned to look at Naruto behind him and forced a kind smile.

"Naruto, after all this time, you should know that I've always been the best to you."

Naruto shrank back and hugged Mirai Namikaze's arm tightly.

Although he couldn't understand their conversation, if he had to choose one, he would undoubtedly choose the uncle he had only known for two days.

Seeing that his smiling face had been met with no response, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

How could this be?

It was obviously me who came first.

As if remembering something, Mirai Namikaze suddenly chuckled, her gaze towards Hiruzen Sarutobi filled with amusement.

"Ha, she swallowed her brother's fortune before his death and made his orphaned son suffer bullying from the entire village. If my sister-in-law were still alive, she probably would have torn down the entire Hokage Building!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo felt a chill run down their spines as the image of that fiery red-haired figure flashed through their minds.

Kushina and Minato are different!

If she were really alive, given her personality, she might actually do something terrifying!

“I will take back every single penny of Shuimen’s legacy, starting with the house! If you insist on resisting, ha…”

The oppressive atmosphere in the Hokage's room lingered for a long time.

Amidst the silence of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, only the white-haired ANBU member had a complex expression in his eyes.

……

Stepping out of the Hokage Building, Naruto could no longer suppress the desire in his heart.

This was the first time he had heard news about his parents.

"Uncle... what kind of people are my parents?"

Naruto's blue eyes glistened with moisture as he pursed his lips and looked up at Miki Namikaze.
