Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

the other side.

Naruto walked home alone, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

Everything that happened on the training field is still vivid in my mind.

Sasuke's astonishing speed, the unfamiliar power surging within him, and Uncle Kiyoshi's serious expression.

He subconsciously touched his eyes.

"Sharingan..."

Naruto muttered to himself, his tone filled with confusion and a hint of excitement.

As a child who grew up in Konoha, he certainly knew what the Sharingan was.

The Uchiha clan's bloodline limit is hailed as one of the strongest dojutsu in the ninja world.

But how could I...?

Naruto quickened his pace and practically ran home.

"I am back!"

Naruto pushed open the door and called out as usual.

The sound of spatulas clattering came from the kitchen, followed by Kushina's response:
"Welcome back, Naruto. How was training today?"

Naruto changed his shoes and walked into the living room.

Kushina was carrying two dishes out of the kitchen. Her bright red hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, and she was wearing a light-colored apron.

Although she is already in her thirties, time seems to have been exceptionally kind to this former "Red Pepper".

Her figure still retains the curves of a young girl, with a slender waist, full breasts, and round, perky buttocks.

Compared to her teenage years, she now possesses a more mature and voluptuous charm.

"Mother……"

Naruto hesitated for a moment, then walked to the dining table and sat down.

Kushina keenly sensed that her son was in a bad mood. She took off her apron, hung it on the back of the chair, and sat down opposite Naruto.

"What's wrong? Did you lose to Sasuke again?"

"It's not as simple as just losing."

Naruto bit his lip, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

Then, he took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at his mother.

The next second, a crimson ring appeared around the edge of his black pupils, and within that crimson, a strange pattern slowly took shape and began to rotate.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

"!"

Kushina's chopsticks fell to the table with a thud.

She stood up abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor with a harsh sound.

His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with shock.

"This...this is..."

Kushina's voice trembled slightly.

She quickly walked to Naruto's side, cupped her son's face in her hands, and leaned closer to examine him closely.

That is definitely the Sharingan, the symbol of the Uchiha clan, there's no mistake.

"When did this happen?"

Kushina asked eagerly.

"This afternoon, during my sparring session with Sasuke."

Naruto answered honestly, his Sharingan appearing and disappearing with his emotional fluctuations.

"I don't know what happened, I was just very unwilling, and then my eyes became like this."

He had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan before, but now things have changed again.

Naruto vaguely felt that he had gained two more techniques, but he didn't know their names or how to use them.

The only feeling I had was that I had become much stronger.

Kushina released her grip, took two steps back, and leaned against the edge of the table, her red hair falling across her face as she lowered her head.

Her fingers were unconsciously twisted together, her knuckles turning slightly white.

Mangekyō Sharingan...

She knew all too well what this meant.

As one of Kiyoshi's closest companions, she knew better than anyone how special that man's bloodline was.

Kiyoshi possesses the Sharingan, the Byakugan, and even more abilities she is unaware of.

As Kiyoshi's son, it is only natural that Naruto would inherit this power.

only……

Kushina looked up at Naruto's eyes and brows, which bore a resemblance to Kiyoshi's, and a complex mix of emotions welled up within her.

She carefully kept this secret, never letting anyone know Naruto's true identity.

To outsiders, she was a single mother who was pregnant out of wedlock, and the father of her child was an irresponsible bastard.

Only a very small number of people know the truth.

But now that Naruto has the Mangekyou Sharingan, he probably can't keep it a secret any longer.

"Mother?"

Naruto felt uneasy as he watched his mother's changing expressions.

"Is...is this a bad thing?"

Kushina snapped out of her daze and forced a smile:
"No, it's not a bad thing, it's just... Mom is a little surprised."

She sat down again, took Naruto's hand, and felt the warmth in her palm.

"Naruto, listen, don't tell anyone about this for now, understand?"

"why?"

Naruto was puzzled.

"Isn't the Sharingan very powerful?"

"It is precisely because it is so powerful that it must be kept secret."

Kushina said earnestly.

"You're too young to control this power. It could be dangerous if someone with ill intentions found out."

Naruto nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Looking at his youthful face, Kushina made a decision in her heart.

"After you finish eating, Mom will take you to meet someone."

"Who?"

"The person who can help you control this power."

Dinner ended in a somewhat quiet atmosphere.

Kushina quickly tidied up the dishes, changed Naruto into clean clothes, and then led Naruto out of the house.

Night had completely fallen, and the streets of Konoha were lit up.

The ninjas finished their day's work and walked home in twos and threes, the aroma of food and the sounds of laughter wafting from the izakaya.

Naruto obediently followed his mother, his heart filled with curiosity.

They walked through the bustling commercial street and turned into the relatively quiet Hokage Building.

In the distance, the Hokage Rock casts a long shadow under the moonlight, and the statues of the Hokage of all generations silently overlook Konoha.

"Are we going to see the Hokage?"

Naruto finally couldn't help but ask.

"Ah."

Kushina answered softly, her palms slightly sweaty.

The two arrived in front of the Hokage Building. The ninja guarding the gate nodded politely to Kushina.

"Good evening, Lady Kushina."

"Good evening, is Kiyoshi there?"

"The Hokage is still in his office. Should I inform him?"

"No need, I'll go up myself."

Kushina led Naruto into the building and walked up the stairs as if they knew the way well.

Arriving at the Hokage's office, Kushina took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Kiyoshi's voice came from inside the door.

Kushina pushed open the door and led Naruto inside.

The office is spacious and bright, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of Konoha at night.

Kiyoshi sat behind his desk, which was piled high with documents and scrolls.

He wore a white Hokage robe with a red haori over it, and his long black hair was casually tied back, with a few stray hairs hanging down in front of his forehead.

Upon seeing Kushina and Naruto, Kiyoshi quickly broke into a smile.

"Kushina, Naruto, what's the matter so late?"

"Qingji..."

Kushina released Naruto's hand and stepped forward.

"Naruto... has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Yes, I know."

Qingsi nodded.

"Is this normal?"

Kushina asked eagerly.

"Naruto, he..."

"It's normal."

Kiyoshi stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to them. "After all, he inherited my bloodline."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Naruto blinked; he already knew that Kiyoshi was his father.

But this was the first time the father and son had recognized each other.

Kushina had been saying she was looking for the right opportunity, but she hadn't found it yet.

Today is the day when our identities are truly revealed.

"Father……"

Naruto muttered to himself.

Kiyoshi turned around, and the moonlight shone in from behind him, giving him a silvery glow.

"Naruto, I am your father."

Kiyoshi said, "I am your father."

A father in the true sense of the word.

"But...why..."

Naruto's voice was choked with emotion.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Deep down, Naruto always wanted to acknowledge his past relationship with his ex.

Kiyoshi walked back to Naruto's side and reached out to ruffle his golden hair.

"There are many reasons, Naruto. You'll understand some things when you're older."

His palms were warm, and Naruto could feel the closeness of their blood ties.

Over the years, Uncle Kiyoshi has taken good care of him, teaching him ninjutsu, training him, and visiting him when he was sick.

It turns out that it wasn't an uncle's care for a younger generation, but a father's love for his son.

Naruto's eyes reddened, but he held back his tears.

He's a man destined to become Hokage; he can't afford to cry so easily.

"Does Sasuke know about this?"

He suddenly thought of this problem.

"Don't know yet."

Kiyoshi said.

Naruto nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Kiyoshi looked at Kushina again:
“You’ve come at the right time. I was also planning to look for Naruto. The Mangekyou Sharingan is powerful, but it’s difficult to control in the early stages, especially since Naruto has another power within him.”

"Another force?"

Naruto was puzzled.

"Ashura's chakra."

Seiji explained.

"That is the power of the second son of the Sage of Six Paths. It will resonate with the Uchiha bloodline in your body, but it may also conflict with it."

He walked to his desk, took a scroll from the drawer, and unfolded it on the table.

The scroll is decorated with a complex diagram of the human meridian system, marking the nodes where chakra flows.

"Naruto, come here."

Naruto obediently walked over, and Kiyoshi made him stand in front of the scroll while he stood behind him, placing his hands on Naruto's shoulders.

"Close your eyes and relax."

Naruto closed his eyes as instructed.

Kiyoshi's chakra slowly flowed into Naruto's body, along his meridians.

This time, Naruto could feel the flow of that power more clearly. Two completely different chakras intertwined within his body, one warm and surging, the other cold and sharp.

"Do you feel it?"

Kiyoshi's voice rang in my ears.

"The warm one is Ashura chakra, and the cold one is the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Now, I will extract a portion of Ashura chakra to reduce the conflict between them."

Kiyoshi said.

Originally, these two chakras were of the same origin, but with the degeneration of the bloodline, very few people in later generations have mastered this power.

That's why it took Madara Uchiha decades to awaken the Rinnegan.

Naruto is too young right now. Extracting some of Ashura's chakra would allow Naruto's Sharingan to evolve faster without being suppressed.

If Naruto were to receive Kiyoshi's chakra when he grows up, he would probably be able to directly awaken the "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan".

"Pull it out?"

Naruto was a little nervous.

"Will it hurt?"

"No, trust Dad." The word "Dad" warmed Naruto's heart, and he nodded vigorously.
"Ok!"

Qing Si began to perform the ritual.

His hands glowed with a faint blue light, and chakra seeped into Naruto's body like fine threads, capturing the flow of Ashura's chakra.

Then, slowly pull out a portion of it.

This process is very delicate and requires extremely high precision in chakra control.

If you are not careful, you could damage Naruto's meridian system.

But Kiyoshi did it perfectly.

About ten minutes later, a wisp of golden chakra was drawn from Naruto's body and condensed into a fist-sized ball of light in Kiyoshi's palm.

The sphere of light contained a surging life force and slowly rotated.

Naruto opened his eyes and felt much lighter.

The sluggish feeling of the two forces pulling against each other disappeared, and the flow of chakra became smoother.

"Is this okay?"

he asks.

"It's alright for now."

Kiyoshi sealed the Ashura Chakra sphere into a specially made container.

"You have mastered the entry: [Asura Chakra (purple)]".

The entry panel's voice sounded.

[Entry: Ashura Chakra (Purple)]

[Requirement fulfilled: Extract Ashura's chakra.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

【Effect:
Your "Yang" Release ninjutsu damage is increased by 100% from the original value.

Your physical body can directly generate "Yang" Release chakra.

Your vitality recovery rate has been increased by 100% from its original level.

[Advanced Path 1: Incorporate "Indra's Chakra (Purple)" to obtain the entry "Child of the Six Paths".]

Kiyoshi looked at the newly appeared entry and immediately chose to merge it.

"You have mastered the entry: [Asura Chakra (purple)]".

The entry panel's voice sounded.

[Entry: Child of the Six Paths (Gold)]

[Requirement achieved: The chakra of the Sage of Six Paths' two sons was fused together.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

【Effect:
Your "Yin Yang Release" ninjutsu damage is increased by 300% from the original value.

Your physical body can directly generate "Yin-Yang Release" chakra.

Your vitality recovery speed increases by 300% from its original level.

Your chakra recovery speed is increased by 300% on top of the original amount.

Your "Yin Yang Release" ninjutsu effect has been increased by 300%.

Your training speed for the "Yin-Yang Release" ninjutsu has increased by 300% from its original speed.

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

Kiyoshi nodded slightly as he looked at the second entry.

The term panel can also be considered a mechanism.

Above, whether it's Yin Release, Yang Release, Lightning Release, or Wind Release, they are all treated equally.

But for Kiyoshi, "Yin-Yang Release" is the strongest escape technique because it represents creation.

All ninjutsu originates from "Yin-Yang Release," which is the most fundamental form of ninjutsu.

"But you also need to learn to control the remaining power."

Kiyoshi closed the entry panel, took two more scrolls from the bookshelf, and handed them to Naruto.

"This is the basic training method for Uchiha fluid jutsu. There are also a few fire jutsu suitable for beginners. Start practicing these first. Once you have a solid foundation, I will teach you more advanced ones."

Naruto took the scroll as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Thank you... Dad."

He said softly, his cheeks slightly flushed.

Kiyoshi smiled.

He ruffled Naruto's hair again:
"Remember, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan originates from emotions, but it is also easily controlled by emotions. To truly master it, you must have a strong will and not be defeated by emotions."

"I remember!"

Naruto nodded vigorously.

Kushina watched this scene from the side, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She knew that from this day forward, many things would change.

"It's getting late, you should go back first."

Kiyoshi glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Naruto, remember what I said. Keep the Mangekyou Sharingan a secret for now. You can practice taijutsu and fire release as usual. If you have any questions, come to me anytime."

"Yes!"

Naruto held the scroll, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He couldn't wait to start practicing.

Kushina took Naruto's hand, nodded to Kiyoshi, and then turned and left the office.

The door closed gently, and Kiyoshi stood alone by the window, gazing at the night view of Konoha, remaining motionless for a long time.

……

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Mikoto opened her eyes and found herself lying in Kiyoshi's arms.

The man was still fast asleep, breathing steadily, his arm naturally wrapped around her waist.

She turned gently to face Qing Si, gazing at his sleeping face in the morning light.

Kiyoshi's eyelashes were very long, casting a faint shadow on his eyelids.

His features were handsome, even when he was asleep, they looked sharply defined.

Mikoto reached out and gently traced his brow bone, nose bridge, and lips with her fingertips.

This man was her man, the pride of the Uchiha clan, and the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

He was...someone else's man.

Mikoto's eyes darkened.

She knew that Qing Si had more than one woman.

Known it from the beginning.

It's only natural for a powerful man to have multiple women, after all, Konoha has only been a village for a few decades.

This tradition has continued for thousands of years.

Ninjas had short lifespans, but there were still ordinary people who weren't ninjas who survived from that era.

They don't need to participate in ninja battles, so their lifespan is naturally long and worry-free.

Knowing is one thing, accepting is another.

Especially when she thought about Kiyoshi being with other women, the excruciating pain almost drove her insane.

Mikoto still remembers the day she awakened her Mangekyou Sharingan.

At that moment, Mikoto felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

Her power stemmed from her morbid possessiveness toward Kiyoshi.

From then on, Mikoto learned to disguise herself.

In front of Kiyoshi, she remained the same gentle and virtuous wife, taking care of the family, teaching the children, and managing everything in an orderly manner.

Only occasionally, when jealousy was about to overflow, would she lock herself in her room and practice smiling in front of the mirror until her expression returned to calm.

But today, she felt her pretense was about to crumble.

Because of Naruto.

The child with black hair and black eyes is looking more and more like Kiyoshi.

Mikoto had long suspected Naruto's origins, but she was unwilling to delve into it.

However, what happened before turned her doubts into certainty.

"Mom, why does Naruto have Sharingan too?"

Sasuke said this while eating.

“His eyes turned red, and there were strange patterns on them.”

"But it disappeared quickly. My father told him to keep it a secret and even taught him new martial arts techniques."

Dear Father.

This title made Mikoto's heart sink.

Sasuke was unaware that Kiyoshi was also Naruto's father.

But what if he finds out the truth one day?
What if he knew that his half-brother had been by his side all along?

Mikoto couldn't imagine that scene.

"Mother?"

Sasuke finally noticed his mother's silence.

"what happened to you?"

"nothing."

Mikoto snapped out of her daze and forced a smile.

"I was just thinking that Naruto has had a tough time too."

"Yes."

Sasuke rarely agreed.

"Although he keeps pestering me to challenge him, he's really hardworking. Once I've mastered the Eight Gates, I'll definitely continue sparring with him."

Mikoto smiled but didn't say anything.

That night, she couldn't sleep.

Now, lying in Kiyoshi's arms, Mikoto decided to stop running away.

She needs an answer.

"woke up?"

Kiyoshi's voice suddenly rang out.

Mikoto looked up and met his clear gaze.

It turned out he had been awake for a while.

"Ah."

Mikoto responded and buried her face in his chest, inhaling his familiar scent.

Should we go to the Hokage Building early today?

"There are several meetings this morning."

Kiyoshi gently stroked her back.

"what happened?"

"nothing."

Mikoto said in a low voice.

"I just... want to hold you a little longer."

Kiyoshi smiled, tightened his arms, and pulled her completely into his embrace.

His warm palms, transmitted through the thin pajamas to the skin, made Mikoto's body feel slightly warm.

The two hugged quietly for a while until birdsong came from outside the window.

"Time to wake up."

Kiyoshi planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Sasuke should be waking up soon."

Mikoto nodded, reluctantly letting go of his hand.

Kiyoshi got up first, put on his bathrobe, and headed to the bathroom.

Mikoto lay on the bed, watching his broad back disappear behind the door, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

After a while, she got up and changed into a white dress.

The dress was made of soft, clinging fabric that perfectly accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure.

The belt around her waist was tied very tightly, making her waist look slender, while the curves of her chest and hips were more prominent.

She walked to the dressing table, sat down, and began to comb her long hair.

The woman in the mirror had the Uchiha clan's signature black hair and black eyes, fair skin, and delicate features.

Although she is over thirty years old and has two children, time seems to have been exceptionally kind to her.

Compared to her teenage years, she is now more voluptuous, with a full and perky bust, an amazing waist-to-hip ratio, and exudes the unique charm of a mature woman.

At this moment, however, a faint gloom shrouded her eyes and brows.

Mikoto practiced smiling in front of the mirror until her expression looked natural and gentle before getting up and going downstairs to prepare breakfast.

The aroma of fried eggs wafted from the kitchen, and Sasuke quickly got up, washed up, and sat at the dining table to wait.

"Mom, can I go to school a little later today?"

Sasuke asked.

"I'd like to train for a while first."

"Okay, but don't be late."

Mikoto placed the fried egg and toast in front of him. "Will Naruto come today?"

"should be."

Sasuke took a bite of toast.

“He got the new martial arts scroll yesterday, and he must be eager to practice it.”

Mikoto paused for a moment, then continued pouring the milk.

Kiyoshi was thinking about Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hagoromo Otsutsuki at home; they should be waking up soon.

Kaguya Otsutsuki is a homebody; she's a shut-in and rarely goes out.

Otsutsuki Hako, on the other hand, is not exactly idle.

To avoid causing any trouble, Kiyoshi plans to go back early today.

After all, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's power was formidable to many Konoha ninjas. (End of Chapter)
