Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

"Okay, okay, I understand. I will tell my father."

Even the usually composed Itachi couldn't help but stumble over his words.

Things progressed far beyond his expectations.

With that, he pulled Sasuke away.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Mikoto would say something else about her.

Namikaze Mirai watched Itachi's flustered figure with a smile.

Mikoto's two children really do look like her!

Naruto glanced at Itachi for a moment, then at Mirai Namikaze, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, who is Mikoto?"

"Aunt Mikoto is a very beautiful woman, and she's quite familiar with your mother."

Namikaze Mirai crouched down and gave Naruto a light tap on the forehead with a smile.

……

night.

After a day of contemplation, Itachi Uchiha finally pushed open Fugaku Uchiha's door with trepidation.

Having just finished showering, Fugaku, dressed in his pajamas, sat on the bed, holding a book in his hands, and was intently flipping through it.

"It's Itachi. What's up so late?"

Noticing Itachi enter, Fugaku placed the book he was holding on the bedside table and looked at his eldest son, who bore a striking resemblance to him, with a dignified expression.

Itachi, his pride.

Although he is only 9 years old, he already has strength that is no less than that of a Chunin.

Their depth of thought is far beyond what ordinary people of their clan can match.

Such amazing talent even attracted the attention of the Third Hokage, who repeatedly taught Itachi alone and praised Itachi for possessing the mindset of a Hokage.

Although Fugaku was slightly dissatisfied, he didn't care, which proved Itachi's talent.

Regardless, the fact that Itachi is his son cannot be changed.

"It's about my mother."

After hesitating for a moment, Itachi finally opened his mouth.

Outside, the bright moonlight shone like a full moon in the night sky. The soft sound of bathing came from the side room of the house. Father and son looked at each other in this quiet and unique environment, and there was an unusual smell in the air.

"About...Mikoto?"

Fugaku, lying on the bed, frowned slightly.

Mikoto, his wife, was taking a bath in the side room.

Why did Itachi come to see him so late? Is it related to Mikoto?

"I ran into Namikaze Mirai on the streets of Konoha this afternoon."

Itachi spoke succinctly and directly.

Future of the Namikaze?

Fugaku's eyes narrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

That familiar name awakened long-forgotten memories in him.

"What did he say?"

"He said... he would personally visit the Uchiha clan's territory in a while."

After saying that, Itachi cautiously observed the changes in Fugaku's expression, as he didn't know what the relationship was between his father and Namikaze Mirai.

I don't know what kind of impact my words will have.

"Is that so?"

Fugaku nodded.

He wasn't surprised that Namikaze Mirai planned to visit the Uchiha clan. In fact, he had been waiting for him to come ever since he received news of Namikaze's return to the village.

Based on his understanding of Namikaze's future, given that Minato had encountered such a major incident, and it was related to the Uchiha clan, it was impossible for him not to come.

Itachi observed Fugaku's expression and found no change as he had feared, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 9 Naruto's Birthday, Uncle's a Railgun for You

Uchiha clan.

Nanga Shrine.

A tense clan meeting is underway.

Those who could attend this meeting were at least members of the Uchiha clan who had awakened the Three Tomoe, and all the elites of the Uchiha clan were gathered here.

"Chief, what is the matter that you have summoned us here for?"

Uchiha Inahisa, who was sitting cross-legged at the head of the table below, asked.

The last time a clan gathering of this scale was held was for the relocation of clan territory.

Uchiha Fugaku sat cross-legged on the futon above, his arms crossed, his face marked with tear troughs, exuding a dignified air.

"I have received information that Namikaze may come to the Uchiha clan's territory in the future."

Future of the Namikaze?

As soon as he finished speaking, a noisy discussion immediately arose below.

This name has been forgotten for too long; many Uchiha clan members have even forgotten his existence.

Amidst the cacophony, a slightly hoarse, cold snort suddenly rang out, abruptly silencing the shrine.

"If I remember correctly, he should be the fourth generation's younger brother!"

The Uchiha clansmen sitting cross-legged in the shrine all focused their gaze on the figure in front of them. His frail body was even somewhat hunched over, and he was holding a cane in one hand to support his decaying body.

But those grey-brown eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, radiating a sharpness completely out of character for their age.

“Elder Setsuna, you are right, he is indeed the Fourth Hokage’s younger brother.”

Upon hearing this, the shrine, which had been quiet, became noisy again.

"The Fourth Hokage's younger brother? What's he doing in Uchiha territory?"

"Hasn't he been missing for three years?"

"I heard he returned a few days ago and even caused a scene at the Hokage Building."

This familiar yet unfamiliar name sparked a lively discussion among the clansmen.

The youngest Fourth Hokage in history was incredibly talented, and his younger brother, Mirai Namikaze, was equally brilliant.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha's Twin Flashes became famous throughout the ninja world.

They were like the twin stars of Konoha, the most amazing geniuses of that era. No matter how talented a ninja was, they would pale in comparison when standing next to them.

However, after the war ended, Blue Flash mysteriously disappeared, and Yellow Flash died in the Nine-Tails' rampage.

These two geniuses, who amazed an era, almost simultaneously withdrew from the stage of history.

Some sighed, some grieved.

As time went by, people gradually forgot his name.

Until recently, the Blue Flash made a powerful comeback, breaking through the entire Hokage Building and announcing his return.

This former genius has now reappeared in their sights.

"The Blue Flash... What is he doing in the Uchiha clan's territory?"

Uchiha Setsuna's eagle-like eyes narrowed slightly.

He has never had a good impression of the Namikaze lineage.

I remember that Minato Namikaze was a puppet Hokage who was supported by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Unfortunately, he died before he could fully develop his powers, during the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.

What's different about this blue flash?

Besides...

His eyes narrowed even more.

The Nine-Tails' rampage that night was somewhat strange. Rumors circulated in the village that tomoe appeared in the Nine-Tails' pupils, suggesting that it was being controlled by the Sharingan.

If Namikaze were to use this incident to his advantage and pin the deaths of his brother and sister-in-law on the Uchiha clan, it would be very disadvantageous for them.

"We don't know yet, so we've asked you to come over to discuss countermeasures."

Fugaku took in Uchiha Setsuna's performance without saying a word.

This Elder Setsuna's seniority is frighteningly long, dating back to the time of Uchiha Madara.

He once instigated riots during the second term of government, but the plot was exposed and he was imprisoned for several years.
