Chapter 136
At this age, he's already so wicked; who knows what he'll be like when he grows up.
And yet, he's incredibly strong… Danzoimmediately harbored killing intent towards Naruto.
Strength is only relative.
Although, so far, in one-on-one situations, many Ninja are no match for Naruto.
But… Kage-level powerhouses are an exception.
Every Kage-level powerhouse has their own trump card.
An awakened Itachi's strength would also reach Kage-level.
Therefore.
"Itachi should kill Uzumaki Naruto!"
Itachi, having been framed, would surely not let the matter rest.
He would definitely try to return and seek justice.
So, taking advantage of this opportunity, to instigate Itachi… Danzo secretly plotted his next moves in his mind, quietly listening to the discussion between Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two… Uchiha Clan Compound.
At dusk.
Sako, returning home, froze in place, the things she was holding thudding to the ground.
"Impossible~!!!"
Her first reaction was that her brother could absolutely not have killed Shisui-san.
"Something must be wrong~!"
"Everyone saw it with their own eyes, how could it be wrong?!"
Uchiha Fugaku, in a very bad mood, reprimanded his daughter.
His eldest son, on whom he had placed such high hopes, had become the murderer of Shisui.
Did that boy… really choose to side with the Konoha higher-ups?
The Uchiha Clan is truly in danger now!
From Uchiha Fugaku's perspective.
Itachi killing Shisui was a fact, and the reason for this was Itachi being brainwashed by the Konohahigher-ups.
It might be the Sandaime's will of fire.
Or it might be Danzo's darkness.
In short… if this was truly the case, it proved that the clan's coup plan had been exposed.
Knowing that the Uchiha were planning a coup, what would the Konoha higher-ups do?
Uchiha Fugaku, already contemplating the clan's impending crisis, paid no mind to his daughter's feelings at the moment.
"Wuwu~."
Sako let out a cry of sorrow, her vision spinning.
She couldn't believe that her dearest brother… would kill Shisui-san.
"Sako, next… perhaps even that child Naruto will be in danger…"
Uchiha Mikoto supported her tottering daughter, her heart filled with resentment towards her eldest son.
Why… did he have to cause trouble for his father?
"Naruto…"
Hearing that the person who revealed the truth was Naruto.
Sako immediately thought of something.
"No… I need to go find Naruto and ask him personally…"
"Calm down, Sako, Naruto has already been protected by the higher-ups…"
Mikoto held back her daughter, who was about to rush out.
Eh?
Why?
Sako was puzzled.
"Because… your brother might return and kill Naruto…"
Mikoto, in a somber tone, spoke of this possibility… Chapter 80. Naruto enters Hazuki's home to taste peaches [Ten more chapters]
At this moment, Naruto, who was being protected, was sitting at home.
However, the real Naruto was no longer there.
What remained was merely a clone.
And this clone wasn't even created by Naruto, but by someone else… To truly protect Naruto, Uchiha Izumi took Naruto to her own home.
Theoretically, this was impossible.
Because she couldn't bypass Kakashi, Tenzo… and the surveillance of various Anbu.
However, what if it was a Mangekyo Sharingan jutsu?
Before Naruto even understood Uchiha Izumi's ocular jutsu, he had already appeared in Izumi's home.
"Naruto, don't worry, I'll protect you well from now on…"
Looking at Uchiha Izumi's gentle expression, Naruto shrugged: "Alright."
Before figuring out the true nature of Izumi's Mangekyo ability, he would humor her.
"Izumi, you're back."
Uchiha Hazuki walked out of the living room.
When she reached the hallway and saw that Naruto had also arrived, her face instantly changed.
The startled beautiful woman collapsed to the ground with a thud.
She propped herself up with both hands on the floor and immediately rose.
Her trembling body indicated her inner turmoil.
But Uchiha Izumi seemed not to notice her mother's strangeness, directly inviting Narutoinside.
"I, I'm going out to buy groceries…"
Uchiha Hazuki brushed past Naruto, taking small, quick steps, wanting to leave home quickly.
However, Uchiha Izumi's next words made her freeze in place.
"Mom~, I still need your help with something."
Uchiha Izumi's tone changed, and her expression also shifted.
In her blackened state, her eyes flashed.
Uchiha Hazuki suddenly moved strangely.
She suddenly went from the courtyard back into the house.
"…"
Naruto watched Uchiha Izumi use her MangekyoSharingan jutsu with interest.
Initially, this skill seemed similar to Amenotejikara or Flying Thunder God.
However, it likely didn't require a mark… or a normal mark.
And the target of the jutsu, he initially judged, could be others… and also herself.
"Huh?"
Uchiha Hazuki only felt a blur before her eyes, and she was back in the living room.
Before she could voice her confusion further, the sliding paper door closed with a rattle.
The sunlight was blocked.
Uchiha Izumi looked at her mother and said, "Mom~, now I need your help… to protect Narutowith me!"
Uchiha Hazuki, of course, didn't understand what her daughter meant.
Uchiha Izumi didn't intend to keep her guessing either.
"Naruto's body… contains the evil Tailed Beast… the Nine-Tailed. However, the Nine-Tailed has already been slain by me…"
Aside from Itachi possibly attacking Naruto.
The problems within Naruto's body were also not to be underestimated.
"To confirm whether the Nine-Tailed can revive once more, I'll have to trouble you, Mom…"
Uchiha Izumi's act of sacrificing her mother left the latter dumbfounded.
Just as Hazuki was stunned.
Uchiha Izumi patted Naruto's head again.
"Naruto, Mom seems a bit reserved, so why don't you take the initiative…"
Uchiha Izumi's words grew softer.
Her eyes and brows perfectly matched her expression.
However, that dark aura still clung to her.
Naruto knew at a glance that she had mental issues.
"Hm? What do you mean?"
Naruto indicated that he didn't understand either.
I am the kind Uzumaki Naruto!
What Nine-Tailed… what Tailed Beast Partner, I know nothing about it!
"It means… you can try to awaken the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox…"
Uchiha Izumi slowly bent down, her cheek very close to Naruto's.
Naruto caught the scent of her perfume.
The beautiful face of the young girl was within reach… gazing at Uchiha Izumi's face, and… her close-up breath.
Naruto quickly awakened the Tailed Beast Partner.
"Yes, that's right, just like that…"
Uchiha Izumi nodded in satisfaction.
"Indeed, the Nine-Tailed isn't dead…"
Uchiha Izumi stood straight, her gaze fixed on the terrifying Tailed Beast.
