Hokage Office.
"Namikaze Mirai took Naruto to live in the Uchiha clan!?"
After listening to Kakashi's report, Hiruzen's eyes widened instantly, and he stood up from his seat, pressing his palms heavily on the desk.
"Yes."
Kakashi, wearing a cat-face mask, had quite complicated eyes.
As Minato's disciple, on one side he was his teacher's son and younger brother, and on the other side was his immediate superior, the Third Hokage.
Caught in the middle, he was under great pressure.
However, as an Anbu member directly under Hiruzen, he had to complete his missions.
"At first, we thought he was just visiting. However, as time went by and they stayed in the Uchiha clan longer and longer, at last, we discovered that they were not visiting, but staying."
Listening to Kakashi's narrative, Hiruzen seemed to have had all his strength drained away in an instant, and he slumped on the chair blankly.
If Mirai lived alone in the Uchiha clan, he would not react like this.
The key was, Naruto was also taken away.
A huge anger burst out from Hiruzen's eyes.
Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki!
The power of Nine-Tails was not a small matter!
Previously, Naruto was in Mirai's hands. Although he was dissatisfied, he could barely accept it.
What could he say to Mirai who was Naruto's uncle?
But now that Naruto was living in the Uchiha clan, the meaning was completely different.
Nine-Tails, Konoha's most powerful war-weapon.
It fell into the hands of the Uchiha clan.
Prior to this, as long as the Uchiha clan members even wanted to contact Naruto, they would be closely monitored by the Anbu and even get rid of.
Now, it was directly in their base.
Moreover, judging from the intelligence fed back by Kakashi, he was living in Fugaku's house, the clan leader's residence was the most heavily guarded place in Uchiha clan.
"Mirai! Have you gone crazy!?"
Hiruzen wanted to cut him to pieces in anger.
Mirai's move was like stabbing him slowly while sprinkling it with salt.
"Summon Danzo here, no, call the two elders, Homura and Koharu, too!"
…
Just when Hiruzen was furious in the Hokage Office.
In Uchiha clan land, clan leader's residence.
Mirai was taking a leisurely walk with Fugaku while sightseeing the place.
"Mirai, won't you have problems living here?"
Fugaku asked, looking at the blond young man walking with him.
Although they were words of concern, there was not much concern in the tone. Instead, there was a hint of dryness and helplessness.
Mirai along with Naruto lived in the Uchiha clan with such great fanfare.
He was afraid, the Hokage's side was about to explode.
Fugaku could imagine what a mess the Hokage's Office was now.
The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, the village's ultimate weapon, fell into the hands of the Uchiha clan so easily.
Now, even if they wanted to distance themselves from each other, and try their best to prove that Uchiha had no harmful ideas towards the village, I'm afraid Hiruzen wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Looking at the profile of the blond man next to him, Fugaku felt very unhappy.
'Mirai at least give a heads-up before doing such things.'
'You directly blocking all of Uchiha's escape routes!'
But, if he disagreed, he was afraid that with this guy's temperament, he would punch a hole in the clan leader's mansion and then take Naruto to forcibly live there.
Facing Fugaku's helpless concern, Mirai didn't seem to hear the resentment in it, and thought about it for a while.
"I'll give it a try, but the bed is too big and Naruto can't sleep very comfortably on it."
'You still talk about not sleeping well?'
The resentment in Fugaku's eyes deepened.
In order to serve this master well, he even gave up his and Mikoto's boudoir.
Can the bed be smaller?
That's the bed Mikoto and he sleeps on.
"By the way, Fugaku, how did you do what I told you?"
As if remembering something, Mirai turned his head and looked straight at him.
Fugaku's eyes froze, then his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice.
"Preparations have begun, but..."
There was a heaviness in his eyes.
"Do you really want to do this, Mirai? If you are not careful, the consequences will be completely unpredictable."
"Fugaku, I think you still don't understand the current situation..."
Mirai glanced at him.
"You think that just showing weakness and giving in will make Uchiha's situation better?"
"If you seek peace through compromise, you will lose peace; if you seek peace through struggle, you will survive."
Fugaku's eyes were still heavy.
Mirai's words were like a dagger, piercing into his heart.
Doesn't he know this truth?
However, the struggle required bloodshed.
As long as there was still hope, even a trivial one, he did not want to see Uchiha and the village being hostile.
But now, that last glimmer of hope had been wiped out by Mirai.
He took a deep breath and sighed in an extremely complicated manner.
"Elder Setsuna has already done that. With him and the Police Department, there won't be any big accidents."
Unlike him, when Setsuna learned that Mirai would live in the Uchiha clan, he was so excited that he stayed up all night.
He wished he could just vacate his own house and let mirai live there.
For the things that Mirai proposed, he was unbelievably energetic for a person of his age.
Under his secret guidance, the public opinion in the village would undergo some unexpected changes soon.
Mirai suddenly stopped and stared at Naruto and another child playing in the yard with his blue eyes.
Naruto and Sasuke were having a great time.
Although he was a guest, Naruto didn't mean to be polite at all. He was like a child and played doctor game with Sasuke.
Fugaku, who was traveling with him, also saw this scene and his face froze.
He always felt that the Minato's son had been misled by Mirai.
Under his instigation, Sasuke would always secretly change into women's clothes.
He originally looked quite cute and could easily be mistaken for a girl, but he was becoming even more girlish.
Moreover, Naruto seemed to be very addicted to the process.
Every time he would dress up Sasuke himself.
Mirai's eyes were not on Naruto. His eyes stayed a little further away, staring in a corner where the two children could not see.
He chuckled at Itachi who was watching the two having fun.
Nine-year-old Itachi had melancholic eyes that belie his age.
The tear troughs on both sides of his nose only deepened his worried and melancholic look.
It's just that it's well hidden.
From the outside, he looked like a sensible and precocious child.
There was no shortage of geniuses in this world. At very young age, they would achieve results that ordinary people could not achieve in their lifetime.
Itachi was such a genius.
However, geniuses were often prone to extreme.
Mirai saw a hint of confusion in Itachi's deep eyes.
If they don't provide guidance, he might get lost or...
His blue eyes curved into a crescent.
"Fugaku, I will be taking Itachi as my disciple."
Fugaku turned his head and looked at him in astonishment.
"Huh?"
