Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 73: Winning over Naruto's brother to curry favor with Lady Tsunade! (Please subscribe~)

Lady Tsunade!

When Uchiha Izumi heard Uchiha Inahiri mention this name that was well-known in the village, his originally worried eyes suddenly brightened up.

I remember Itachi mentioning to her before that Naruto was going to be taken in by Tsunade as a student...

Looking at Elder Uchiha Konosuke, who had been fierce and menacing, he stopped in his tracks after hearing about Tsunade's apprentice, his aged face turning pale.

His gloomy face was unpleasant, and his expression clearly showed hesitation.

In addition, the elderly members of the clan around her were enthusiastically discussing Tsunade's many deeds.

Uchiha Izumi was also incredibly surprised, her cherry lips slightly parted in astonishment. Was Lady Tsunade's prestige really that great?

For younger generations of the village, like Uchiha Izumi, who were born around the time of the Third Shinobi World War, Tsunade had already left the village long ago.

Most of them only heard about Tsunade from their parents and clansmen when they were young, like a legendary figure from a textbook.

However, it is unclear how much prestige and influence Tsunade actually has in the village; in fact, it is less obvious than the power of some of the elders of the Uchiha clan who are in charge of clan rules and discipline.

"Weren't you going to take me and Izumi-neechan to the police station? Why did you suddenly stop moving?"

Naruto looked at the elder Uchiha in front of him, whose gray brows were furrowed and whose expression was changing rapidly in uncertainty, and his tone remained calm.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Konosuke's face, covered in age spots, twitched, his expression turning ashen and even more unsightly.

Since we've already offended this disciple of Tsunade, there's only one path left: death!

Otherwise, if I let this brat go now, wouldn't I be seen as a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and I'd lose all face in the clan!

After hesitating for a moment, he steeled his resolve and gritted his teeth, saying...

"Kid! Don't think you can..."

Just then, a steady and solemn middle-aged man's voice interrupted Uchiha Konosuke's words.

"Is there something you all want to discuss here?"

Immediately, the Uchiha clansmen who had gathered on both sides made way for the path and bowed in respect.

A tall, imposing figure walked in.

"Chieftain!"

"Lord Fugaku!"

Naruto subtly raised an eyebrow. "Uchiha Fugaku?"

Although Fugaku Uchiha was indecisive and lacked any sense of strategy, he did have a certain imposing presence, earning him the reputation of "Fierce-Eyed Fugaku" in the original work!

When Izumi Uchiha saw Fugaku Uchiha, she was initially delighted, but then became uneasy as she didn't know Fugaku's attitude.

Uchiha Inabi showed a look of respect on his face, and he hurried forward to explain the matter to Uchiha Fugaku in a few words.

After listening to Inahisa's explanation, Fugaku Uchiha remained calm and unchanging, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He first looked at Naruto, his originally solemn and imposing face now showing a hint of friendly smile.

"Naruto, we meet again. Since Sasuke invited you to my house last time, why haven't you come again? Mikoto was thinking about you all morning."

Uchiha Fugaku's tone was friendly and casual, just like a familiar elder.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Konosuke's heart skipped a beat, his expression shifting between light and shadow, and he knew inwardly that something was wrong!

As a hawkish elder, he had always disagreed with Fugaku Uchiha, a fence-sitter, and they couldn't stand each other. This time, it seemed...

Naruto felt a slight stirring in his heart. You old geezer, you didn't have this attitude when I visited your house last time.

After a moment's hesitation, he realized that even if he were to address him respectfully as Lord Uchiha Fugaku, Fugaku would not be worthy of it.

If I call you "uncle," then all I love is your Mikoto? Does that make me a Mongolian top laner?!

"Uncle Fugaku..."

Fugaku Uchiha laughed heartily when he heard Naruto address him by that name.

"I already know what happened. It was just a small misunderstanding, Naruto, please don't take it to heart."

"You can come to my house again in a few days with Tsunade. It will be a belated welcome party for Tsunade."

"Okay, I'll tell the teacher."

Naruto agreed, certain that Tsunade would not come to the Uchiha clan's territory.

This is a complete mess, involving many people.

If Tsunade were to visit the Uchiha clan, it would be a subtle political gesture, indicating her desire to intervene and resolve the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan...

Although Tsunade has accepted her as her apprentice, it is still her most depressed period. She is indifferent to her own life and everything in the village.

The reason she appeared so bright and bold in the original story is that she rallied herself to become the Fifth Hokage.

That's because Naruto's talk-no-jutsu cured his hemophobia.

In addition, the ninja world, with its tradition of patricide, saw Hiruzen Sarutobi killed by Orochimaru and his disciple, leaving Konoha in chaos and leaderless.

The usually lazy Tsunade had no choice but to accept the responsibility in this crisis and reluctantly take over the mess that Konoha had left behind.

Fugaku Uchiha bent down and patted Naruto's shoulder affectionately, saying,

"Then you and Izumi should go find Shisui."

The few Uchiha clan members around were slightly surprised to see Fugaku Uchiha's friendly attitude towards this foreign blond boy.

Although Tsunade is the granddaughter of the first generation, Uchiha Fugaku, as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, theoretically has the same status as her in the village.

Moreover, this brat in front of him was merely Tsunade's disciple, so Fugaku, as the head of the Uchiha clan, was unusually amiable!

Uchiha Izumi was also surprised. He and Itachi had known each other since childhood and were childhood sweethearts.

Itachi's father, the clan head, always left him with the impression of being strict and rigid, never smiling even when facing Aunt Mikoto and Sasuke.

The imposing presence they exuded when kneeling upright at clan meetings was always dignified and composed, befitting the unfathomable strength of the clan leader's lineage.

This was the first time she had ever seen the other person with such a friendly expression!

Does Naruto's younger brother, who is merely Tsunade's disciple, carry such weight that even the clan head has to treat him with such deference?

If Lady Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin, were willing to lend a helping hand to the Uchiha clan and sincerely do her best to help them eliminate the misunderstandings and barriers between them and the village's higher-ups.

Perhaps the family will definitely have a brighter future!

Itachi's long-cherished wish for the village and family to live in harmony will surely come true then!

Thinking of benefiting the family, Uchiha Izumi held Naruto's white and tender hand tightly.

Suddenly, a plan popped into his head: if he could befriend Naruto's younger brother, he could then use that connection to persuade Lady Tsunade...

By then, the unsolvable dilemma facing the family will surely be resolved...

Watching Uchiha Izumi leave with Naruto by the hand, Uchiha Fugaku looked around at the Uchiha clan members and police officers who had gathered around him.

Before he could even speak, some people immediately started to object and make a fuss.

"Clan Chief, that brat is an outsider. It's not appropriate for him to wander around the clan territory like that, even if he's Lady Tsunade's disciple."
