Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Page 21

In a dark underground cave, Jue slowly emerged from the ground.

The hoarse voice carried a hint of amusement: "Danzo is dead, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi sensed something was wrong, and those tools are useless now... the plan has been disrupted."

In the shadows, Obito's mask turned slightly, the patterns of his Sharingan gleaming coldly in the darkness.

“It’s alright.” His voice was low and calm. “It’s just a chess piece. We can just find a new one.”

White Zetsu chuckled and chimed in, "Anyway, humans are always full of hatred. Just a little provocation and they'll start fighting amongst themselves!"

Obito did not answer, but simply gazed silently at the distant Hidden Leaf Village.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the stone-paved road of the Uchiha clan's territory.

Naruto, with his hands in his pockets, kicked a small pebble and shuffled forward.

Damn it... why did I even come here!

He scratched his head, feeling incredibly agitated.

Although Madara said that no one was hurt when he destroyed the Uchiha base last time, he was too busy afterward to check on Sasuke's situation.

Therefore, Naruto rushed over as soon as he was free.

But to actually get him to say something like "I came to see you" would be worse than killing him.

"Hey, you bottom-of-the-barrel guy."

A cold voice came from behind him, and Naruto turned around abruptly, meeting Sasuke's dark eyes.

"Whoa!" He jumped back in fright. "W-why did you suddenly appear?!"

Sasuke crossed his arms and frowned slightly: "This is Uchiha clan territory. What are you doing here, sneaking around like this?"

"Who's being sneaky?!" Naruto immediately bristled. "I...I was just passing by!"

"Just passing by?" Sasuke sneered. "You went around half of Konoha from the Ninja Academy to the Uchiha clan's territory?"

Naruto's face flushed, but he stubbornly retorted, "I want to! It's none of your business!"

Sasuke didn't say anything more, but just looked at him with a "you're such an idiot" look.

Silence spread between the two, and the atmosphere grew increasingly awkward.

Tsk, what is this guy doing here?

Sasuke felt inexplicably irritated.

Naruto scratched his head, and after a long pause, finally managed to squeeze out, "...Is everything alright in your clan lately?"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed: "What did you hear?"

"Huh? No!" Naruto quickly waved his hands. "Last time, last time I lost control, didn't I? I accidentally caused some damage to your house... so... so..."

Sasuke's expression instantly turned cold: "This is none of your business."

"Who cares!" Naruto's temper flared up too. "I was just asking casually!"

"Then go ask someone else."

"You—!" Naruto clenched his fist, then suddenly released it, gritting his teeth as he said, "...Fine! There's no way I can talk to someone like you!"

He turned and left, his back view furious, looking just like a fox with its fur standing on end.

Sasuke stood there, watching his figure disappear around the street corner, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Naruto lost control and blew up a lot of Uchiha buildings, he knew that, but no one was injured in the whole process.

Therefore, Sasuke did not blame Naruto, and after learning that a monster had been inside Naruto's body, he felt a sense of awe.

After all, if Naruto hadn't used his body as a vessel, that monster would have killed countless people.

Therefore, he actually felt a little grateful to Naruto.

But if Sasuke were to say these words, it would be better to kill him.

Chapter 24 The biological father makes his appearance

Time flies, and two years have passed since Danzo launched his coup.

At this moment, dust was flying everywhere on the training ground of the ninja academy.

Another beautiful over-the-shoulder throw! Naruto braced himself with one hand, flipped over, and landed steadily, grinning, "How about that, Iruka-sensei! I won this time, didn't I?"

The Chunin opposite him rubbed his numb arm, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You kid... you get such good grades in practical training, why do you always fail the written tests?"

Naruto scratched his head, his smile a little stiff: "Haha... those theory classes and stuff are so boring!"

Naruto's words were all imprinted in Madara's eyes.

Madara sat cross-legged on the surface of the chakra water, propping his chin up with one hand and covering his face, not wanting to see what was happening outside.

Especially the Nine-Tails beneath him, still laughing wildly: "Hahaha, you've taught for years and all you've produced is an illiterate who can only fight? Your title of legendary ninja is about to change!"

Ban's eyes instantly turned cold: "You scraggly fox, do you think I've been too nice lately?"

Nine-Tailed Fox immediately shut up.

After all, even if he hadn't been sealed, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Madara Uchiha, let alone now.

Once a fight breaks out, it will only be able to get completely dominated and beaten to a pulp by the opponent.

Seeing that Kurama was so sensible, Madara did not pursue the matter further.

Sensing that Madara had withdrawn his killing intent, Kurama said, "But to be honest, your parenting style is no longer suitable for today's children."

Madara was also helpless about this: "I know... but I've used all the gentle methods I could."

If you ask him to teach others how to fight or kill, he can apply what he's learned to other situations and explain it from various different angles.

But teaching... Ban could only sigh.

Kurama flicked its tail and said, "That guy named Iruka is pretty good. If it weren't for him these past few years, Naruto would really be illiterate."

"really……"

Before he could finish speaking, Ban's pupils suddenly contracted.

His sharp gaze swept into the depths of the sealed space, where there should have been only endless darkness and the flow of chakra.

But just now, he sensed an unusual fluctuation in chakra.

"Nine-Tails, besides the two of us, is there anyone else here?"

Nine-Tailed Fox narrowed its eyes, looking around suspiciously: "Are you senile? Who else could be here besides you and me?"

Ban ignored its mockery and frowned.

"No...that's not right."

His jet-black pupils switched instantly, and his scarlet Sharingan began to spin wildly.

His gaze pierced through the mist of chakra, locking onto a corner of the sealing technique.

Ban coldly said, "Someone is spying on this place."

Kurama was startled: "What? Is it outside? Since Danzo's death, the Third Hokage should have canceled the Anbu's deployment."

"Not outside, but inside, right here within this seal." As he spoke, Madara pointed to the ground beneath their feet.

The Eight Trigrams Seal is the space they are currently in.

Deep within the sealed space, a faint golden light flickered briefly before quickly disappearing.

Madara's Susanoo instantly rose higher, and a giant blue chakra hand suddenly grabbed in that direction!

"Get out of here!"

"boom--!"

The violent chakra surged against the sealing barrier, causing the entire space to tremble violently. Naruto's body outside the barrier shuddered violently, almost causing him to fall.

"Naruto? What's wrong?" Iruka quickly helped him up.

"No, it's okay!"

Naruto forced a smile, but felt uneasy. "Is Dad... arguing with the Nine-Tails again?"

They had fought before, but never as fiercely as today.

At the same time, within the sealed space, Madara's Susanoo missed its target.

But the strange chakra did not disappear; instead, it seemed to be enraged and slowly condensed.

“As expected…” Madara sneered, “a cowardly fellow who always hides his true intentions.”

Kurama also sensed the abnormality, its vertical pupils constricting: "This chakra... how is this possible?!"

The next second, a brilliant golden light shone forth!

A tall, slender figure emerged from the depths of the seal, his golden hair gleaming under the glow of chakra, his azure eyes calm and resolute.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man's voice was gentle and deep, but his tone was full of murderous intent.

Madara, his killing intent palpable, demanded, "That's the question I should be asking you! Who are you?"

However, before the two could even start fighting, Kurama's pupils contracted sharply, and it growled in disbelief, "The Fourth Hokage...?!"

Upon hearing Kurama's words, Madara realized that the blond man in front of him was none other than the Fourth Hokage on the Hokage Rock.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

A flicker of surprise crossed Madara's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a chilling killing intent.

Madara sneered, "So that's how it is... Fourth Hokage, you actually left a backup plan within the seal?"

Minato did not deny it, but looked at him calmly: "I cannot let you break the seal, and I cannot let you hurt Naruto."

Madara scoffed, "With just a remnant of your chakra body?"

Minato's gaze was resolute: "Even if it's just a sliver of chakra, I will stop you."

The atmosphere within the sealed space was tense and confrontational.

Kurama stared intently at Minato, her voice hoarse: "Fourth Hokage... you knew Madara would be here all along?"
