Naruto: Forced to marry Naruto's mother at the beginning

"Good, the Eight Gates Formation is indeed invincible."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly and asked again, "So, did you find out any information?"

"Third Hokage, to be honest, the masked man's strength is not that great. The key is that he can use a space-time ninjutsu."

It can make itself ethereal to evade attacks, and when in danger, it can hide in a spatial dimension.

"Yes, I heard Minato mention this back then."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, which proved that Lin Ye had not lied and that he had indeed fought the masked man.

"Besides space-time ninjutsu, have you discovered any weaknesses in him?"

"There is one weakness, though I don't know if it counts: when the masked man uses space ninjutsu, the intangibility can only last for five minutes."

"If he keeps attacking during this time, he will be injured," Lin Ye explained.

"Five minutes! That's good news."

"If we had enough explosive tags stuck to him, it wouldn't be a bad idea," Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself.

The next second, he suddenly asked, "Since the masked man can become intangible, how did you hit him?"

"My Lord, I have something to say here."

In reality, he wasn't using true etherealization, but rather the effect of transferring a part of his body to another dimension.

I used the Eight Gates technique directly, shattering space itself, before I could hit him.

Lin Ye responded seriously.

"So that's how it is!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized that if he knew the opponent's abilities, he would have a way to deal with them.

"Lin Ye, you've done a great job this time."

"My lords, this is what I should do."

As the saying goes, where leaves dance in the air, fire will never cease to burn.

The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout.

"Haha, good, I didn't expect you to have mastered my Will of Fire so well."

"By the way, have you found out who the masked man is?"

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked another question.

Lin Ye thought for a moment before replying, "He seems to possess a Sharingan, and his spatial abilities emanate from that eye."

"What? Sharingan? So this person is from the Uchiha clan?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked.

"I have the same suspicion, but I still can't figure out why he would hurt the Uchiha clan members."

Lin Ye gave him an approving look.

"Alright, I will personally have someone investigate this matter. Now tell me what happened next."

"Ugh!"

"I rescued a girl from the masked man; her name is Uchiha Izumi."

Afterwards, they arrived at Fugaku Uchiha's house, only to find that Itachi Uchiha had already injured him. In the end, they only managed to save Mikoto Uchiha and Sasuke.

Lin Ye sighed again.

"Don't be too sad, it's not your fault." Hiruzen Sarutobi patted him on the shoulder.

"Next, I have a task for you."

"Lord Hokage, please speak?"

"This task is quite simple. Now that Fugaku Uchiha has passed away, Mikoto Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha are left without anyone to take care of them."

And you are one of her few friends, so I'd like to ask you for a favor.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his mustache and said in a serious tone.

"It is my duty!"

Lin Ye's response was firm and decisive, without any hesitation.

"Haha! Alright, I'll go and inform Uchiha Mikoto later. I'll be there in a couple of days."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed uncontrollably.

......

Back home, Lin Ye told Kushina Uzumaki about it.

"Ugh!"

“Mikoto is so pitiful, she has suffered such a huge setback. It’s fine if she stays at our house, that way we can prevent her from doing anything stupid.”

She sighed deeply, her words filled with self-reproach, for she hadn't been able to help in any way.

The next second, she looked troubled: "It's good, but our house is too small, there's not enough room!"

"I think it's best if Naruto and Sasuke share a room, and she sleeps on a mattress on the floor."

Lin Ye spoke his mind.

"No, how can we let our guests sleep on the floor?"

"So what do you want to do?"

"How about we turn our house into a two-story house?" Kushina Uzumaki suggested.

"Good idea, but she'll be here in two days, there's not enough time! Building a small house would take at least half a month, right?"

Is there really no other way?

She sat on the sofa, her chin resting on her hands, looking distressed.

"Hey, I've got it! I heard that Danzo's Root has a young man who can use Wood Release. If we can get him to build houses for us, it will be quick."

At that moment, Lin Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

A clear smile of disbelief appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Really? Wood Release is a rare bloodline limit. Apart from the First Hokage, no one else has ever been able to use it."

"Would I lie to you? To tell you the truth, some time ago, I used the Flying Thunder God Technique to infiltrate the Dark Division and secretly found out that this person's name is Tenzo Yamato."

During his childhood, Orochimaru implanted cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, into his body, allowing him to inherit the First Hokage's Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.

He later joined Root and was hidden away by Danzo; Orochimaru even thought he was dead.

"Oh, I see."

"Hehe, then I'll go to the root and demand them right now!"

After saying that, she walked out of the house.

Chapter 129 Confiscation of Family Property

Konoha Ninja Hospital.

Second floor, room 201.

"Fugaku, how could you bear to leave?"

Mikoto Uchiha awoke from her coma, heartbroken and weeping bitterly.

Then, she glanced at Sasuke, who was also lying unconscious on the hospital bed beside her.

"Don't worry, I will definitely raise him well."

"Clang clang clang!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then an old man wearing a Hokage hat walked in.

"Hmph! What are you doing here?"

Mikoto Uchiha remained indifferent and gave a cold snort.

The reason their family has become like this is definitely related to this old man.

Otherwise, how could Itachi, who is usually gentle, kind, and understanding, do such a terrible thing?

"Cough cough!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly: "I am deeply saddened by Fugaku's passing, but since it has already happened, we should face it with equanimity."

"Hmph! Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say!" she snorted again.

"Here's the thing, starting today, the village has decided to reclaim and confiscate the clan land of your Uchiha clan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly opened his mouth.

"What a hypocrite you are, Third Hokage! Fugaku just passed away, and you confiscated all his assets. How can you live with yourself?"

Mikoto Uchiha angrily accused him.

"Lady Fugaku, there's nothing we can do about it. There are only a few people left in your family. Can you all live in such a big place?"

It's a waste to keep it; it's better to let someone who needs it live there.

"Then...then what are we supposed to do in the future?" Uchiha Mikoto was almost in tears.

"Don't worry, I've already thought it through. You'll be moving in with Kushina Uzumaki in a couple of days."

Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed a slight smile.

What if I disagree?

"Lady Fugaku, I've come today to inform you, not to discuss anything with you, so I advise you to back down!"

"Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Sasuke, right? With Naruto by his side, he can get out of the shadows sooner."

"Okay! I...I agree."

Her eyes were red, and she nodded helplessly.

Now that even the Uchiha clan is gone, what else can she say?

"Waaah..."
