Chapter 39: The Son of the Deceased
"Hey, that's it, don't you just come back to life? Simple, simple! The patriarch of my dignified Uchiha clan, if you want to resurrect a person, it's not ......" Looking at the adoring look on the little guy in front of him, Fugaku's vanity as an elder was greatly satisfied, and at the same time, he failed to notice the abnormality in time, and proudly made a big statement in front of Naruto, until he came back to his senses, he realized what a terrible thing the little guy in front of him said, and the rest of the boastful words were stuck in his throat and swallowed again, his fingers trembled and slowly raised his finger to Naruto who was smiling innocently and grinning, "You...... Your father is ...... Is it Watergate? ”
"That's right, my father is the hero who saved Konoha Village, the fourth generation of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate." Seeing that Fugaku finally reacted, and was alone in a room without worrying about being known by a third party, Naruto continued with a smile on his face and a lot of pride, "If it wasn't for the villain's plot, my original name wouldn't have been Naruto Uzumaki...... It's the wind that Naruto is right! ”
"No wonder it always feels familiar for some reason...... But didn't the children of Mizumon and Kushina die three years ago when they sealed the Nine-Tails, and died with them......" Fugaku muttered to himself and put down his hand pointing at Naruto, and couldn't help but cheer up and look at Naruto carefully, although his face was young and immature, but from the same hair color and hairstyle as his deceased best friend and the confident and sunny smile at the corners of his mouth, Fugaku suddenly believed Naruto's words in his heart, but after all, it was because the source was from the mouth of a three-year-old child in front of him, Still a little skeptical, after a pause, he frowned and asked, "But how did you know that Watergate belonged to your father?" You were just born when the two of them died, so you don't even know what your parents' voices are like by now, right? ”
"Oh? Uncle Fuyue, are you doubting the authenticity of my background? Being able to get in touch with Uchiha Fugaku so easily and successfully create an opportunity to talk alone has already made Naruto accomplish most of his expected goals, and now Naruto has noticed the unexpected joy of Fugaku's good personal relationship with his father from the unconcealable excitement that appeared in Fuyue's eyes after hearing his words, so he simply stopped trying to disguise himself as a three-year-old child, restrained his smile and asked softly, and slowly raised his right hand.
"Ahem, after all, this news came too suddenly, and it is normal for my uncle to be suspicious...... It's true! It's not that Uncle doesn't believe you, it's just that I ......" Facing Naruto's smiling inquiry, Fugaku, who had already chosen to believe it from a reasonable point of view, couldn't help but blush slightly, coupled with the experience of the past, thinking that Naruto's child's smile gradually disappeared because he felt wronged by his doubts and wanted to cry out loud and wanted to make up for it, the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at Naruto's raised right palm, Then his eyes suddenly widened and he stared at the long-lost and familiar blue brilliant pill that was rapidly condensed and swirled in Naruto's hand, and his words became stammered again, "I...... I...... You're ...... It's ......"
"Spiral Pill, one of my dad's signature skills...... Aside from my father, so far in this world, only me and my father's master, one of the three ninjas of Konoha and Miaomu Mountain, know how to use this trick, right? Seeing Fugaku's stunned and unbelievable appearance, Naruto knew that Spiral Pill alone was enough to prove his background in front of Fugaku, and Naruto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he didn't need to expose the existence of the life-saving hole card of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and while stopping the supply of the chakra needed to maintain the Spiral Pill and dispersing the ninjutsu, he continued to narrate lightly, and the few words that were concise to white were even more invisibly, deliberately misleading Fugaku to the wrong subjective perception that it was Jiraiya who taught Naruto Spiral Pill and told him about his background.
Pulling Jiraiya into the water as a shield is a decision made after careful consideration before Naruto's action, as the master of the four generations of Hokage, and one of the famous three ninjas of Konoha on the surface, Jiraiya can also be said to be the only person who is most likely to let Naruto, who should know nothing, know the whole truth, and therefore, to create the illusion that Jiraiya is also supporting Naruto behind his back, which can not only make Naruto increase the credibility of his words in the conversation, but also let the news leak out to let those stirring sticks who just talk and don't do it know, It can also allow them to turn the target of exclusion to Zilaiye, who has long left the village and doesn't know where they are, and doesn't care at all, so as to minimize the suspicion and prevention they suffer, which can be described as beneficial and harmless.
If you have to talk about the price, it is probably only the poor lecherous fairy who carried a dark and heavy cauldron without knowing it...... As compensation, when I got in touch with Jiraiya in the future, I took the money to invite this lascivious uncle to the bar to spend a lot of time.
"Jiraiya-sama...... Indeed, if he were to return to the village, he would be the first to tell you everything about his life and stay with you to guide you in your cultivation. The best friend's unique Muji ninjutsu, the name of the child in front of him who did not hesitate to spit out clearly, made the doubts in Fuyue's heart completely dissipate, and he exhaled lightly and muttered to himself, suddenly leaned over a little, stretched out his arms to carefully pick up Naruto's immature and soft body and hugged him tightly.
"That's right, that's it, now you believe it, Uncle Fuyue, I'm my father's real son...... Alas? With his hands on his hips and a smile in response, Naruto continued to calculate and speculate in his mind about the various changes and coping methods that he might encounter after telling the truth about the Danzo conspiracy, but even then he didn't expect Fugaku to make such a gaffe, and after reacting a little slower, he was already being embraced into a warm and reassuring embrace.
"Uncle Fuyue, you are ......"
The unexpected situation beyond his control made Naruto stunned and a little at a loss, and at the same time, he obediently let Fugaku hold him in his arms and remain motionless, for fear that more unpredictable variables would cause the plan to fail completely.
"Kid, it's great that you're alive...... Great......"
Before the words fell, Fugaku's next move once again made Naruto fall into a stupor.
In this impression, it should be the patriarch of the Uchiha clan who is not frightened or angry...... In front of Naruto, the young junior, the tiger's body trembled slightly and choked.
Even though he was firmly held in Fugaku's arms and looked down on his face, Naruto's arms that kept tightening the hoops for fear of Naruto's disappearance made Naruto feel more and more dull, the warm liquid dripping on his head from time to time, and the weeping that tried to suppress his throat was mixed with joy and sorrow.
"You must have suffered a lot in the past three years, little one...... Why didn't I find out earlier that Watergate and their children were still alive...... It's great that you're alive, it's really good......"
Just as Sasuke trusts Naruto unconditionally, even though there are constant disputes between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage faction, there is a deep bond between Uchiha Fugaku and Ha Feng Shuimon that outsiders can't imagine...... If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the disaster three years ago, with the two secretly working together to help each other, the beautiful world without strife envisioned by the original Hokage might have become a reality long ago.
As the human pillar of the Nine Lamas, the experience of being ridiculed for three years allowed Naruto to easily distinguish between hypocrisy and sincerity, and the remorse, self-blame and joy contained in Fugaku's words made Naruto completely dispel the worries in his heart, and determined that the man who shouldered the heavy responsibility of the life and death of the clan was not as ruthless and rebellious as recorded in the original book, and also determined how much his previous worries were redundant, and lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
It was also from this moment that Naruto realized that he had finally underestimated how heavy and precious the bond that had been nurtured by the baptism of war between the previous generations was deeply rooted in his heart.
"It's no wonder that Danzo would rather let Konoha lose his combat power than let the Uchiha clan perish...... I seem to understand a little now, obviously hated by the whole village, why the stupid and sweet Naruto was able to live to the age of twelve without dying or going out of control. ”
After a long silence, Naruto gave up the untimely plan to continue talking, and his fleshy little hands were as open as possible to hug Fugaku, who was crying in a low voice like a child in front of him, his little head was close to his chest, snuggled in his arms, and from time to time he rubbed silently to comfort, patiently waiting for Fuyue's three-year grief to vent his emotions, while his emotions eased, the corners of his eyes were gradually stained with mist and overflowed with some crystal tears.
No matter how much he pretends to be optimistic and deaf to him, the inhuman life of being constantly accused and discriminated against for three years still accumulates decadence and despair in Naruto's heart......
Naruto wasn't really heartless and didn't care, on the contrary, compared to the blank and weak text descriptions in the manga, Naruto realized how suffocating and unbearable the pressure was imposed...... It's just that as a time-traveler who knows the fate of Naruto Uzumaki's life, with the goal of gradually improving his life after the age of twelve, he desperately endures it like a thirst quenched.
And the sincere care and self-blame shown by Fugaku at this moment is undoubtedly a shot of strength that allows Naruto to have the courage to continue.
"It's the first time in the past three years that anyone cares so much about my life and death...... This is the wave wind...... Dad, the most precious treasure you left me......"
"Thank you...... Daddy......"
