Naruto, my uncle is going to be Hokage!

Chapter 4 My sister-in-law is a very gentle person!
Blue flash???

The moment this long-forgotten name came out of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, the eyes of the surrounding Anbu behind their masks suddenly shook.

It was a legend in the past.

The glory of Konoha, one of the two-color flashes.

Yellow Flash's younger brother, Blue Flash!
According to statistics, the number of enemies who died at his hands in the three world wars was even higher than the yellow flash!
However, three years ago, the Blue Flash mysteriously disappeared and there has been no news since.

To this day, many people have forgotten his existence.

"uncle……"

Naruto, who was following behind Namikaze Mirai, tugged at the corner of his clothes nervously.

He was only three years old and didn't understand the meaning of "blue flash?", nor did he understand why these Anbu were so nervous.

He only knew that destroying the Hokage building and trespassing into the Hokage room was not something a good boy would do.

"I'm really happy that you can come back in the future."

Perhaps noticing Namikaze Mirai's unfriendly gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a kind smile, and that kind smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

He completely forgot that not long ago, he was discussing with Danzo how to deal with the future threat of Namikaze.

After glancing at everyone in the Hokage room, Namikaze Mirai grinned.

"I came here this time for only one thing."

"Justice for my nephew!"

With the last sentence, his voice suddenly turned cold, as if a chill had come over him, causing the temperature in the Hokage room to drop by several degrees.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile was a little forced.

"I do not understand what you are saying?"

"Naruto is the descendant of a hero. I have always paid attention to his life and never lacked living expenses. What justice do you want?"

Namikaze Mirai sneered.

"To be called a demon fox and to endure the bullying of the entire village, is this the treatment a hero's son should receive?"

Demon fox...

Hearing these two words, the expressions of the Anbu surrounding Sarutobi Hiruzen changed.

Many of them knew Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and some were even tasked with monitoring Naruto and witnessed him being bullied by the villagers.

But they turned a blind eye. As a machine of the Anbu, completing the mission was his highest duty.

One of the white-haired, cat-faced, and masked Anbu trembled slightly unconsciously.

It seemed as if Namikaze Mirai's words had caused him some strange sensation.

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke and sighed.

"This is a sacrifice that must be made in order to protect the identity of the Jinchūriki."

"Once Naruto's identity is exposed, he will encounter many unnecessary dangers. For the sake of the village, I can only do this."

There was a hint of contempt in Namikaze Mirai's eyes.

"For the village? What a high-sounding excuse! I remember my brother had a lot of wealth when he was alive, right? Even if he died young, this wealth should be inherited by his son Naruto, right?"

"Naruto is not yet an adult, so I will keep this inheritance for the time being. When Naruto comes of age, it will naturally be handed over to him."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Namikaze Mirai.

"There is no need to wait until Naruto comes of age. Now that I am back, as Naruto's uncle, I am naturally his highest guardian and have the right to inherit this inheritance."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Why? Do you want to keep the inheritance for yourself?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless, his lips moved but no words came out.

He simply couldn't afford this inheritance! After the Nine-Tails Night, the village suffered heavy casualties. The pensions for the families of the dead ninjas and the reconstruction of the village alone were an astronomical figure.

Minato's part of the inheritance had long been used by him for other purposes.

If Namikaze Mirai insists on taking this inheritance, it will undoubtedly be a request for his life.

"As for the future, you know that after that night, the village urgently needs to be rebuilt, and all measures require financial support. I can only..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen licked his dry lips, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Namikaze Mirai.

"That is to say, my brother's inheritance was really misappropriated by you..."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

As the fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze naturally had a lot of assets. His sister-in-law Kushina was the only heir to the Uzumaki clan and inherited part of Mito Uzumaki's inheritance.

Such a huge fortune was enough for Naruto to squander for several lifetimes, but it was taken away by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even, even if only a trace of it is left!
It wouldn't have made Naruto's childhood so miserable.

Seeing that Namikaze Mirai's eyes were gradually turning cold, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he was in the wrong, so he turned to look at Naruto behind him and forced a kind smile.

"Naruto, after all this time, you should know that I, your grandpa, treat you the best."

Naruto shrank back and held onto Namikaze Mirai's arm tightly.

Although he couldn't understand the conversation between the two, if he was asked to choose one, he would undoubtedly choose this uncle whom he had only known for two days.

Seeing that his smile had come to nothing, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little sad.

How could this be?
It was obviously me who came first.

As if remembering something, Namikaze Mirai suddenly sneered and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a playful look.

"Heh, she swallowed up her brother's property and made his son suffer from the bullying of the whole village. If my sister-in-law were still alive, I'm afraid she would tear down the entire Hokage building!"

The fierce red-haired figure appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo's minds, and they shuddered subconsciously.

Kushina is different from Minato!

If she were really alive, given her personality, she might really do something horrible!

"I will take back every penny of Minato's inheritance, starting with the house! If you insist on resisting, haha..."

The oppression in the Hokage room took a long time to dissipate.

In the silence between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, only the white-haired ANBU had a complicated look in his eyes.

……

Walking out of the Hokage Building, Naruto could no longer suppress the desire in his heart.

This was the first time he heard news from his parents.

"Uncle...my parents, what kind of people are they?"

Naruto's blue eyes flashed with a moist luster, he pursed his lips and looked up at Namikaze Mirai.

He really wanted to know about his parents.

Even a little bit.

That was a presence he had never felt before in his life.

Namikaze Mirai squatted down and gently stroked Naruto's hair.

"Your father is the hero of the village and the fastest man in the ninja world. He is probably about 70% as handsome as your uncle. As for your mother..."

Memories came flooding back like a tide, and Namikaze Mirai seemed to remember something, her eyes smiling into crescent shapes.

"Sister-in-law, she is a very gentle person!"
