Discovery

Meanwhile, the future Konoha is the present Konoha.

Within the Uchiha clan...

"Fugaku, Sasuke starts school tomorrow."

A gentle voice rang out, instantly pulling Uchiha Fugaku back to reality.

He looked up at his wife, Uchiha Mikoto, who was tidying up what appeared to be their child's school supplies, and frowned slightly. "Is school about to start?"

"Yes, are you free tomorrow? Sasuke is really looking forward to you and Itachi taking him to school!" Hearing her husband's words, Uchiha Mikoto smiled and nodded, then frowned at her husband who seemed lost in thought. "What's wrong with you? Did the police force run into trouble again? I've seen you sitting here without moving since you got up, and also..."

Glancing at a very old-looking box that her husband had placed on the table, she asked, "What's that? Did you bring it home last night? I saw it on the table this morning."

"This!" When his wife asked about it, Fugaku lowered his head, looked at the box again, and his face showed a complicated expression once more. "I saw this on the shelf in the Nanga Shrine where the items of the past clan chiefs are kept."

"???"

Items stored by successive clan leaders?

Mikoto Uchiha seemed to understand Fugaku's meaning. "Could it be something Father left behind? Judging from your expression, it seems to be something very important?"

"It wasn't left by my father, and as for its importance... the contents inside aren't that important either." Fugaku shook his head with a wry smile. "But this thing... was left by Uchiha Madara."

"Uchiha Madara?!"

"That's right, and there's a special seal on it that no one could open before, but the seal has dissipated in the last few days, so I brought it out."

"?!"

As a member of the Uchiha clan and the wife of the clan leader, Mikoto Uchiha had heard of this legendary figure in the history of the Uchiha clan.

They ended the era of war for the Uchiha clan, put aside their hatred, and joined hands with the Senju clan to create a village!

However, for reasons unknown, he suddenly defected from Konoha and was eventually killed by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

The things that guy left behind were even sealed, making them extremely terrifying and forbidden items no matter how you look at them.

Mikoto Uchiha hesitated for a moment, "Should we hand it over to the Hokage?"

"I guess... we don't need to!" Fugaku Uchiha paused, shook his head, and opened the box directly. "After all, it's not anything very important inside."

As he spoke, seemingly noticing his wife's confusion, Fugaku Uchiha, with a complex expression, took a piece of paper from the box and handed it directly to his wife.

Seeing that her husband had actually handed the item to her, she realized that it didn't seem to be anything very important, so she took the paper without hesitation.

She looked down at the paper, but when she saw what was written on it, she froze on the spot. Then, with a bewildered and incredulous expression, she looked at the paper again carefully.

"A property deed?!"

"Yes, it's just a property deed."

"Why did Madara Uchiha leave behind a... property deed?" Mikoto Uchiha still looked doubtful. "And it seems to be a property deed from the shopping district!"

That area wasn't previously...

Although Mikoto Uchiha didn't say it aloud, Fugaku understood what his wife meant, but he also didn't say it.

After nodding, he said in a complicated tone, "It is said that Madara Uchiha was saved by a mysterious strongman back then. To thank that mysterious strongman, Madara Uchiha invited him to join Konoha, but he refused."

This filled Madara Uchiha with regret, but to express his gratitude to the mysterious powerful figure who had saved his life, Madara asked Higanbana Uchiha to buy a house in a bustling commercial district. Although the mysterious powerful figure refused, Madara felt that one day… that powerful figure, or his descendant, would come to Konoha. Therefore, he prepared the house in advance, intending to give it to that person or his descendant when that time came.

At this point, a flicker of light appeared in his eyes, and his complex tone turned into a sigh of emotion, "They actually lifted the lockdown at this time...it seems...this is fate!"

"That rumor?!" Mikoto Uchiha had also heard of it. "But isn't it false?"

After all, this rumor... that mysterious powerful figure not only saved Madara Uchiha, but also the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.

Let's leave aside the Second Hokage for now. You have to know that Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage were both powerful figures who had already reached the pinnacle of the ninja world, yet they were both saved by the same mysterious person.

Furthermore, when Konoha later investigated that mysterious person, they ultimately found no information whatsoever.

At the same time, the source of this rumor is unknown, so no one took it as true.

"It seems to be true now." Fugaku Uchiha nodded, his tone filled with emotion. "And the descendant of that legendary mysterious person... has already arrived in Konoha!"

"?!"

……

"Hehe~"

"Jian, do you have a cold?"

"No, I guess I just woke up too early and am feeling a little unwell!" Shi Jian's brows furrowed slightly, but quickly smoothed out. She turned to look at Naruto beside her. "And why did you suddenly drag me out here? Didn't the Third Hokage already prepare everything we need for school?"

For some reason, when the Third Hokage was preparing school supplies for Naruto, he also prepared a set for him, including school shoes.

"Hehehe, of course... ding ding ding~" When Ishigami finally asked, Naruto pulled out a thick envelope from his pocket and said with a grin, "Grandpa Third gave me my living expenses for this month."

As she spoke, she pulled half of the letter out of the envelope. "I happen to want to eat ramen today. Although Jian's cooking is also very good, let me treat Jian to ramen today!"

Seeing the money for food handed to him, Shi Jian did not refuse and simply put the money away.

Because of his friend, Naruto stopped thinking about buying cosmetics for his father. As for milk and instant noodles, they didn't expire because he ate them with him.

Moreover, thanks to the care he and his mother provide, Naruto is no longer short due to malnutrition like he is in the anime.

This also made him realize that... the plot can be changed.

"Let's go then, let's get something to eat..."

However, before Shi Jian could finish speaking, he seemed to notice something and stopped. When he saw the scene in the dimly lit alley, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Naruto, who was standing nearby, noticed that Ishigami had stopped. Just as he was about to say something, he saw where Ishigami was looking.

His face immediately showed anger, and he rolled up his sleeves. "These guys... why are they bullying others again?"
