Then Ryosuke brought Naruto back to the clan. And on the way back, he also saw Fugaku coming out of the clan grounds.
Fugaku saw Naruto, and his demon fox reputation had naturally spread throughout the village.
He certainly did not believe that the other party was some incarnation of the demon fox, and he even guessed that it was simply the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
He certainly did not hate this person; he even felt that the other party was the future hero of Konoha. After all, he was bound to be Konoha Village's powerful fighting force in the future. And such a person was inevitably under the control of the Third Hokage.
Unable to resist, he directly walked over and asked. "Ryosuke, why did you bring the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki home?"
Naruto saw this unfamiliar person. The two tear lines on the other's face were a bit scary, and he looked very serious.
Fugaku, however, was a little speechless. Was he really that scary?
Ryosuke also smiled and said, "Actually, he is the son of the Fourth Hokage."
Fugaku's face immediately changed drastically—the son of the Yellow Flash.
He never expected that he actually still had a bloodline left behind, and a smile appeared on his face.
That man was an existence even he had to admire, and besides, his wife was also a classmate. Mikoto would surely be very happy if she knew.
"Ryosuke, bring Naruto to my house for a visit, let Mikoto meet him. Mikoto was classmates with the previous Nine-Tails Jinchūriki."
Ryosuke naturally had no reason to refuse and brought Naruto to Fugaku's house.
Soon, a woman came over, her face carrying some urgency. She looked at Naruto in shock. "This is Kushina's son?"
This yellow hair was obviously inherited from Minato. "What is your name?"
In the village, people all called him demon fox or monster, so Mikoto did not know Naruto's real name.
Naruto said timidly. "Uzumaki Naruto."
Mikoto instantly understood. 'It really is her child.'
But seeing the bandage on his forehead, her face showed confusion. "What's with the bandage on your forehead? Did you suffer some serious injury?"
Ryosuke then told Mikoto everything that had happened today.
After hearing it, Mikoto's expression changed drastically, and her heart was filled with anger. 'Those damn brats, they actually injured Naruto so badly.'
She looked at Ryosuke. "You did the right thing, that punishment was deserved. Kushina and Minato protected the village; how could their child be treated like this?"
She even felt that the punishment was too light. A child's face wrapped in such thick bandages was enough to show how serious the injury was—this was practically attempted murder.
And she also felt ashamed that she had not noticed that the Minato couple had left behind a child and had not given him the care he deserved.
She truly felt guilty toward her friend.
Even Uchiha Fugaku was filled with anger. By logic, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki should have been under the village's protection. Suffering such harm was simply ridiculous.
He asked. "Did the Third Hokage not send anyone to protect him?"
Ryosuke naturally shook his head. He did not understand what the Third Hokage was thinking.
As the village's greatest combat force, not only was he not protected, but the Third even tolerated the villagers' insults toward him. Did he really not fear that Naruto would turn dark?
He said helplessly, "So I brought him to our clan grounds. From now on, our Uchiha clan will raise him."
"The Third Hokage does nothing, but our Uchiha can easily give him the protection he deserves. In the Uchiha clan, no one will dare to bully Naruto."
Fugaku's face lit up upon hearing this. "Good idea. Bringing him to our Uchiha clan grounds means no one will dare to bully him again."
Not only was he the son of the Fourth Hokage, but of course, he would not allow others to bully him.
Moreover, he was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, a powerful force for the village. Raising his feelings for the Uchiha clan from a young age would also enhance the clan's reputation and benefit their future rise to power.
Ryosuke truly was someone who could revitalize the clan, bringing a good helper for the family. This was a great thing for both Naruto and the Uchiha clan.
At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes were shining. "Ryosuke, you are busy training at home, and taking care of a child won't be easy."
"Leave Naruto with me; I will take care of him properly. This is also for my friend—I have done nothing for her."
Ryosuke naturally had no doubts about her words. Mikoto could indeed take good care of Naruto.
"We still have to ask Naruto. Naruto, are you willing?"
Naruto, though small, had a clear mind. This lady seemed to care a lot about him. And since Brother Ryosuke was indeed very busy and was also a big figure in the village, he definitely should not trouble him.
"Brother Ryosuke, I'm willing."
Mikoto's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Don't worry, in our home, you will live well. From now on, call me Aunt Mikoto, and as for that overly serious man over there, call him Uncle Fugaku."
Fugaku was speechless. He was just born with this expression.
Naruto obediently called out. "Aunt Mikoto, Uncle Fugaku."
"So well-behaved." Mikoto's face was full of smiles.
"I almost forgot, I have another child about your age. Maybe you two can become good friends."
Ryosuke naturally knew—she was talking about Sasuke.
That actually was possible. In the original storyline, these two were a pair of love-hate best friends. Maybe they really could become friends.
"Clan Head Fugaku, Clan Leader's wife, I'll leave Naruto in your care."
Mikoto immediately promised. "Rest assured, I will take good care of Naruto. I won't let him suffer even a little bit."
Hearing her firm promise, Ryosuke was ready to return to his own home. On his way back, he was stopped by a clan guard's report.
"Lord Ryosuke, there is a woman outside the gate who insists on meeting you."
He originally did not want to report it to Lord Ryosuke, but since the other party pleaded bitterly, he had no choice but to agree.
As for whether to meet her, that would be up to Uchiha Ryosuke.
At this moment, Ryosuke was a bit puzzled. 'A woman?' There weren't many he knew in Konoha.
Could it be Yugao coming back? But thinking about it, that didn't seem likely—she didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for him.
