Born with a great love for the Uchiha

"However, today, here, I am explaining this to everyone in the name of the Fifth Hokage."

Naruto Uzumaki's real surname is not "Uzumaki", but "Namikaze".

"Naruto Namikaze, he is the only child of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"

"Naruto is not the 'son of the demon fox,' he is the 'son of the Fourth Hokage,' he is the child of a hero of Konoha!"

As soon as Uchiha Gen finished speaking, a familiar panel notification suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

[You officially revealed Naruto Uzumaki's true identity to all the Jonin of Konoha, clearing the name of the Fourth Hokage's son!]

You have accomplished a great act of love!

You have earned one million Love Points!

[You have obtained the S-rank sealing technique, [Corpse Demon Sealing Technique]!]

One million points.

Gen Uchiha's gaze bypassed the description of the [Dead Demon Seal] ability and locked onto the number of points.

The moment that last million points jumped onto the panel.

Uchiha Gen's points reserves have officially broken through—

The 100 million mark!

Chapter 164 The First Six Paths Level Ability! SSS-Rank [Tai Ri Immortal Body]! (Two chapters, 1.2 words!)

"Naruto Uzumaki..."

"The son of the Fourth Hokage..."

After Uchiha Genji finished speaking, the Jonin meeting room immediately erupted in discussion.

In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan to keep Naruto Uzumaki's identity a secret could be considered both a success and a failure.

The success lies in the fact that many people in Konoha Village are completely unaware of Naruto Uzumaki's true identity; most Konoha villagers simply regard Naruto as the "son of the demon fox."

The failure lies in the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi never properly changed Naruto Uzumaki's surname. Instead of taking his father's surname "Namikaze," he used his mother's surname "Uzumaki."

But what's the use of that?

Since the Uzumaki clan disappeared from history along with the Land of Whirlpools.

There are very few ninjas in the ninja world who openly use the surname "Uzumaki".

Even within Konoha Village, going back three generations...

There are only three ninjas with the compound surname "Uzumaki".

Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, and Naruto Uzumaki.

In addition, Naruto Uzumaki has golden hair that is almost identical to that of the Fourth Hokage.

No matter which ninja had a past with the Fourth Hokage and his wife, once they met Naruto Uzumaki and learned his surname, they could basically deduce his true identity!

For example, the leaders of the "Ino-Shika-Cho" triad: Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza.

All three of them knew Naruto Uzumaki's true identity.

Nara Shikaku and his friends never restricted their children—Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji—from contacting Uzumaki Naruto.

However, there were indeed people in the meeting room who did not know Naruto Uzumaki's true identity, such as some ninjas who had only become Jonin in recent years.

Unlike the other villagers, these Konoha Jonin did not regard Naruto Uzumaki as the "incarnation of the demon fox," but they generally knew that Naruto Uzumaki was the "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

As for the son of the Fourth Hokage and such...

These Jonin didn't even consider that possibility.

The surname "Whirlpool" doesn't really explain anything.

Weren't the previous two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha found from the Uzumaki clan?

Perhaps Naruto Uzumaki was just a child adopted from the Uzumaki clan?

"Didn't you guys discover Naruto Uzumaki's true identity before?"

"That blond hair, those eyes... he's practically a carbon copy of the Fourth Hokage!"

"That's not right! Compared to the Fourth Hokage, I actually think Naruto's face shape is more like his mother's, and his personality is too..."

The ninjas in the Jonin squad's meeting room began whispering amongst themselves, and the discussion gradually became noisy.

Many people would also glance at Hiruzen Sarutobi from time to time.

For many years since the Third Hokage came to power, he has been secretly protecting the identity and information of the Fourth Hokage's son...

As a result, the first thing the Fifth Generation leader announced at his first meeting was to reveal the true identity of the hero's son.

The Third Hokage was indeed a qualified ninja.

But people are still made of flesh and blood.

People still prefer a leader like the Fifth Generation who has more emotions.

anyway.

With the revelation of Naruto Uzumaki's true identity by Gen Uchiha.

This son of the Fourth Hokage has finally received the treatment he truly deserves.

After a brief moment of shock, several Konoha Jonin who were close to the Uchiha clan began to speak.

"Young Master Naruto! Congratulations!"

This is Nozomi Shimura speaking.

Regardless of Naruto Uzumaki's true identity.

In any case, Shimura Nozomi could see that the Fifth Hokage valued Naruto Uzumaki.

That's enough!

The Shimura clan will always follow closely behind the Fifth Hokage!

"Naruto-kun, you've really had a tough time these past few years."

This is Akimichi Choza, Aburame Shiki, and others offering their care and concern to Uzumaki Naruto.

In the past, due to the orders of the Third Hokage, and also because of Naruto Uzumaki's status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even Jonin like Choza Akimichi, who had close ties with the Fourth Hokage, couldn't have much contact with Naruto Uzumaki.

All they could do was try to prevent their school-aged children from discriminating against Naruto like others did, and instead encourage them to be friends with Naruto...

However, the Fifth Hokage has now completely overturned the Third Hokage's plan to keep Naruto Uzumaki's identity a secret.

What is there for Akimichi Choza and his ilk to hesitate about?

"Naruto!"

Choza Akimichi patted his chest and extended a generous invitation.

"Starting today, you can eat at any of the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurants as you please!"

"Ha ha--"

A burst of laughter immediately filled the meeting room.

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the kind faces in the conference room.

As a child, he couldn't distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong.

But he knew that none of this would have happened if it weren't for his older brother.

Encouraged by the gazes of Uchiha Gen, Tsunade, and others.

Naruto Uzumaki spoke.

"...My name is Naruto Uzumaki!"

The next sentence is—

"The man who will become Hokage someday!"

The laughter in the meeting room grew even louder.

But there was no mockery in that laughter.

People are willing to believe that the son of the Fourth Hokage will definitely become an excellent ninja.

However, the Fifth Hokage had only just taken office, and he became Hokage at the age of thirteen.

The Fifth Hokage displayed strength comparable to that of a ninja god.

Everyone believed that the Fifth Hokage would surpass the Third Hokage and become the longest-serving Hokage in the village's history!

As for Naruto Uzumaki?

All we can do is wish him a smooth life.

Becoming Hokage...

Even Minato and his wife from the "Uchiha Ring" series didn't have much faith in their son.

It's not for any other reason.

The main problem is that the Fifth Hokage was just too young!

Gen Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki can almost be considered ninjas of the same generation.

Looking back at the ninjas of Minato Namikaze's era, who could compare to this Yellow Flash?

The same applies to Gen Uchiha today.

It's not that Naruto Uzumaki lacked talent, but rather that Gen Uchiha was far too outstanding.

"Alright, Naruto, let's go back."

Gen Uchiha patted the blond-haired boy's head, signaling him to sit down next to Tsunade.
