Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Minato Namikaze first took Sasuke home, and then took Naruto home.

He used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to reach the nearby streets.

Turning the familiar street corner, Minato Namikaze subconsciously looked up at Kushina's window.

Warm yellow light leaked through the gaps in the curtains, vaguely illuminating human figures.

His pace slowed unconsciously.

What is Kushina doing right now?

The woman who had captivated him since his teenage years.

That woman whose smile is like a flame.

"Uncle Minato, this ninjutsu of yours feels so convenient."

Naruto spoke up.

Such a ninjutsu, which allows you to go wherever you want, is something that almost everyone would want to learn.

"Naruto, with your talent, you should be able to learn it if you work hard."

Minato Namikaze patted Naruto's head.

He wasn't just being polite.

It's similar to teachers always telling students' parents, "This child is smart, but not hardworking enough. If they worked harder, they would achieve this and that."

In reality, Naruto's talent is indeed quite good.

If Naruto's personality weren't so impulsive, and he were more like Sasuke, Minato Namikaze thought Naruto would be a natural-born ninja.

"hey-hey."

Naruto smiled sincerely upon hearing the praise.

The two continued walking towards home.

……

Kushina's family.

"I need to get ready. Naruto will see this when he gets back."

Kushina said.

The dress didn't reveal anything, but she was a little embarrassed.

Naruto is naturally impulsive, so it's best for him to maintain his composure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be afraid of anything.

"Do not worry."

Kiyoshi watched Kushina with a leisurely air, enjoying her embarrassed expression.

The maid's skirt was so long that it only revealed her ankles.

A thin layer of white stockings was faintly visible around her ankles, tightly encasing them.

Her originally bright red hair now seemed even brighter, making her fair skin stand out even more.

Kushina blushed, lowered her head, and dared not meet Kiyoshi's gaze.

Kushina's delicate feet could be seen beneath the slippers; her toes were slightly curled up due to nervousness, outlining an alluring shape under the white stockings.

"Next time, we can try Nine-Tailed Mode."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin.

When Kushina borrows the Nine-Tails' chakra, she undergoes a certain degree of fox-like transformation.

If paired with appropriate clothing, she would probably look even more like a "fox spirit".

Kushina didn't know what Kiyoshi was thinking, but she had a feeling that he was definitely not thinking anything good.

……

Minato Namikaze was passing by with Naruto.

He didn't want to stop, but when his gaze inadvertently swept across the half-open window, his body suddenly froze.

Through that crack in the window, he clearly saw... Kushina.

She was wearing a maid outfit and had her head down.

Her long, smooth hair cascaded over her shoulders, the white strands reflecting the light.

And in front of her was Kiyoshi.

The silence was eerily profound.

There were no hugs, no kisses.

But the intimacy between the two spoke louder than any words.

Minato Namikaze's fingers unconsciously clenched.

Even the air seemed to be pressed down heavily.

Naruto was still beside him, excitedly saying something.

"Uncle Minato, look, the lights are on over there, it's so pretty!"

"……Um."

Minato Namikaze responded with a soft, almost inaudible voice.

His throat tightened.

My heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand.

It turned out to be the case.

It turns out those vague guesses were all true.

Kushina... really with Kiyoshi...

Naruto... perhaps, really is their child.

I was just a failed pursuer.

The places I've always dreamed of exploring have already been occupied by others.

He looked up at the window.

The moonlight fell on his face, illuminating the almost melting bitterness deep in his eyes.

At that moment, he suddenly understood everything.

Naruto's black hair is his color.

Those exaggerated qualifications...

Minato Namikaze slowly closed his eyes.

He wasn't angry.

No anger.

But my heart was as cold and piercing as the moonlight on a winter night.

That kind of pain isn't like being cut with a knife.

Instead, it's like someone gently cuts open your chest, takes your heart, and still makes you smile.

Looking up, the round moon hangs high in the night sky.

He recalled that night many years ago.

The moonlight was just as bright and round.

He sensed that Kushina was in danger, so he secretly went to follow the Cloud Village ninja.

Finally, through hard work, they defeated those Cloud Village ninjas.

That night was also the most spirited time of his life, filled with the lofty ambitions of a young man.

He thought that the red strand of hair that Kushina left behind under the moonlight would be the red thread that would bind their marriage.

In retrospect, it was all just wishful thinking on his part.

Even the children belong to other people.

To put it bluntly, he wouldn't even have a chance to take over the business.

They wouldn't even be worthy of having the child's surname.

Naruto's whirlpool is a very common surname.

He was just an ordinary person with an insignificant surname like Namikaze.

The wind blew, and the cloak fluttered in the wind.

Minato Namikaze raised his head, the moonlight illuminating his calm face.

Something inside me is slowly crumbling.

He suddenly began to recall.

Those moments that were once unintentional flashed through my mind one by one.

The barely suppressed smile on Kiyoshi's face when she first fought alongside Kushina;
Kushina flinched for a moment when he mentioned Kiyoshi's name.

The warm yellow light still shone through the window.

The light flickered, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Minato Namikaze knew, however, that lamp was not lit for him.

"Uncle Shuimen?"

Naruto, who has a carefree personality but is actually very perceptive, noticed this subtle change immediately.

He noticed that Uncle Watergate seemed to be in a bad mood.

"It's nothing, Naruto, you should go back now, I won't stay with you."

Minato Namikaze said, trying to sound casual.

"Ok."

Naruto nodded.

Occasionally, Minato Namikaze would escort him home, usually only leaving after dropping him off at his doorstep.

I left without even going upstairs today.

Watching Naruto's departing figure, Minato Namikaze also left.

He returned to the roots.

It was a place with almost no light, and the air was filled with the smell of cold iron and damp earth.

The walls were leaking, and the corridor was long and narrow.

This place, which used to feel depressing and dimly lit, now gave Minato Namikaze a strange sense of security.

Without light, no one could see the expression on his face.

Danzo Shimura stood in the shadows.

He noticed that the young man's steps were heavier than usual as he walked in. His once bright blue eyes now seemed veiled in gray.

He was always perceptive and could sense the shadows in people's hearts.

The most important thing for any ninja who wants to join Root is to have darkness in their heart; otherwise, they will not be able to unleash their talents in Root.

Why does this man, who's known as "Little Sun," look so dejected today?
"Didn't you finish your official business? Why are you back again?"

Danzo Shimura asked.

Although he was no longer the leader of Root, he would still shamelessly offer advice to Minato Namikaze based on his experience.

"How can official business ever be finished?"

Minato Namikaze shook his head.

At that moment, Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded.

Although Danzo Shimura didn't know what had happened, he instinctively felt that Minato Namikaze was of some use now.

He just can't think of anything he can do right now.

After all, Uchiha Kiyoshi's strength was too great; even Namikaze Minato was no match for him. They needed to think things through carefully.

…………

Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage, here is what you requested."

An ANBU ninja presented a scroll.

Kiyoshi took it; the scroll was already somewhat yellowed, and the writing was a little blurry.

It is clear that it has been eroded by the long years to become like this.

Even from the blurred handwriting, Kiyoshi could still make out the name of the scroll.

The History of Seals in the Warring States Period

"Go down."

Kiyoshi waved his hand.

It is worth mentioning that "The History of the Sealing of the Warring States Period" has always been sealed in a certain archive in the Hokage Building.

Kiyoshi, acting on the Hokage's orders, was tasked with finding this book. After a period of searching, the Anbu (Anbu) found what Kiyoshi wanted.

"The History of Seals in the Warring States Period" is too obscure, as it only records some history from the Warring States period.

This book compiles information on the reasons for and locations of the sealing of some dangerous goods.

It is estimated that this was to prevent future generations from accidentally breaking the seal.

Just like how the demons were unsealed in the underworld of the land of demons.

In the vast ninja world, besides the Uzumaki clan who can seal all sorts of things or people, other ninjas who master sealing techniques can also do so.

The best way to deal with something that's difficult to handle is to seal it away.

Let's use the power of time to solve this problem.

Either we die or become obsolete over a long period of time, or we must trust in the wisdom of future generations.

Therefore, this scroll has always been hidden in the archive.

Bringing up past wars is useless; the Warring States period is too distant. It's important to understand that the Warring States period is just a general term.

The Warring States period five hundred years ago is called the Warring States period, and the Warring States period one hundred years ago is also called the Warring States period.

This is most likely the document he's looking for—the document that records the Uchiha clan's nameless weapon.

"Let's first check Uchiha Hikaru's location."

Kiyoshi quickly scanned the catalog.

He looked past the various ancient sealing techniques.

Below the sealed item, it will also be written what sealing technique was used to seal it.

These things are of little value to him now.

After all, with the exception of a very few techniques, most techniques become outdated over time.

The new era is constantly progressing, but only bloodline limits can be passed down forever.

This is what is meant by the older the culture, the stronger it becomes.

If Kiyoshi had obtained this scroll when he was weak, he would have eagerly absorbed the knowledge within.

But now, he's not a high priority.

It's not a timely help; at best, it only adds to what's already good.

Kiyoshi quickly found Uchiha Hikaru's entry.

[Sealed Item Name: Nameless Weapon of the Uchiha Clan]

[Danger Level: Highest.]

[Sealing location...]

[Sealing Technique: ...]

"The highest level of danger?"

Kiyoshi stroked his chin, looking at the writing on the scroll.

He knew that this was Uchiha Hikaru, and there were some records of Uchiha Hikaru's life and deeds, but he referred to him as "Nameless".

Hikaru Uchiha's abilities are indeed very strong.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to seal it; they would have killed it directly.

Only the strong are qualified to be sealed; the weak are simply left with nothing.

"I wonder what the workings of Uchiha Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan technique, 'Eight Thousand Spears,' are."

Kiyoshi was very interested in Uchiha Hikaru.

Once someone is marked by her Mangekyou Sharingan, she can directly control the recipient's mind and chakra.

It can be said that it truly deserves the title of a weapon of war.

Furthermore, Uchiha Hikaru's eyes are the same as Obito's. Obito had "Hashirama cells" transplanted, while Uchiha Hikaru absorbed the "Yang" Release chakra of the Senju clan.

This meant that her kaleidoscope had almost no risk of causing blindness, unlike Sasuke in the original story, who went blind after using his eyes a dozen times.

If it weren't for Itachi Uchiha's eyes that Sasuke could use, Sasuke would have had to undergo a transplant or emulate Madara Uchiha to awaken the Rinnegan if he wanted to regain his sight.

The power of the "Rinnegan" covers the original power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, thus restoring sight.

This kind of eye technique, which consumes little energy yet has a powerful effect, is what makes Uchiha Hikaru seem so overpowered.

Even so, it was eventually sealed away.

A person can be sealed in a cave for decades or even centuries until the appearance of a new villain in Boruto, which finally pulls Uchiha Hikaru out.

Even Naruto was controlled by her eye technique.

Finally, Sasuke used his persuasive skills, saying "I am your friend," which immediately woke Naruto up.

"It's within the Land of Fire, but it's very close to the former Land of Whirlpools."

Kiyoshi looked at the location of the seal and decided to go check it out now.

After putting down "The History of the Sealing of the Warring States Period," Kiyoshi left the Hokage Building.

With his excellent memory, he only needs to look at it once to remember the contents.

Kiyoshi had memorized all of the above information, and many years ago he had also memorized the map of the Land of Fire.

Therefore, Kiyoshi no longer needs a map and can travel freely.

His figure moved rapidly across the Land of Fire.

Kiyoshi prepared three kunai bearing the Flying Thunder God symbol in many towns and some special locations.

This is to ensure stability so that the kunai can be taken away during teleportation, or in case of any unexpected events.

Soon, Kiyoshi arrived at a valley.

Surrounded by mountains, with clouds hanging low.

The valley resembled a ravine torn open by a giant beast, with layers of rock walls revealing their dark brown texture, and vines hanging down from the ground.

"Has the landscape changed after all this time?"

Qingsi frowned slightly.

According to the "Sengoku Seal History", Uchiha Hikaru was sealed in a valley.

The exact location wasn't detailed, and Qing Si didn't know which mountain it was.

He himself has to figure it out.

Battles between ninjas can easily affect the terrain, so Uchiha Hikaru's sealing location must be hidden in a very deep and secluded place.

"So……"

Golden magatama appeared in Kiyoshi's dark pupils, a sign that he had activated "Perfect Sage Mode".

Golden "Sage Chakra" continuously appeared on his body.

Kiyoshi's perception also formed a circle with him as the origin, and his perception continued to extend, whether it was the sky, the earth, or even beneath the earth.

An invisible net sweeps across every inch of rock, every crack, and even penetrates deep into the earth's veins, extending even further.

Perception spreads like ripples, capturing every unusual fluctuation.

It's like a radar, searching for everything in a comprehensive way.

Suddenly, a thought struck him.

found it.

Qing Si discovered a place where there were obvious fluctuations in the sealing barrier.

Clang!
Kiyoshi pulled out the jet-black scales, the scales on them were incredibly lifelike.

In that instant, the narrow blade of the black scales continued to extend, like a swimming black dragon.

Boom! ! !
The ground was cleaved by a jet-black blade, the mountain collapsed with a roar, an entire rock wall was cut off, and debris rained down.

Amidst the dust and smoke, the cracks left by the sword energy extended straight down into the mountainside.

Kiyoshi exhaled lightly, slightly tightened his wrist, and quickly gathered the energy in his palm, precisely controlling the power at the edge of the barrier.

The smoke slowly dispersed.

Deep within the fractured rock wall, a layer of silvery-white sealing barrier was revealed, its surface shimmering with intricate sealing patterns.

In the center of the barrier, a girl lay quietly.

Her eyes were closed, her long hair was spread out like flowing clouds, she was dressed in an old ninja outfit, and her bare feet were slightly dangling.

Seeing this, Kiyoshi finally smiled. (End of Chapter)
