Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Page 503

Hashirama laughed so hard he could barely breathe: "Your face, when you're not smiling, looks like someone owes you millions of taels of silver, but when you frown even slightly, it looks like you're about to wipe out an entire clan."

I've reminded you so many times, smile, smile! Like this—smirk!

He tried to seize control of his facial muscles, causing Ban's face to display an extremely exaggerated, dazzling smile comparable to Akai's.

Ban felt the corners of his mouth twitching upwards uncontrollably.

Terrified, he quickly used his willpower to suppress his anger, his face contorted as he growled, "Get out! Don't use my face to make those idiotic faces!"

Thus, on their way to the Hokage's office, the villagers would occasionally see their beloved advisor, Madara Uchiha.

A person walks down the street, his face sometimes ashen, sometimes clenching his teeth, and occasionally squeezing out a few indistinct syllables from between his teeth, as if he is having a fierce argument with someone he can't see.

The villagers were already used to it; they simply kept a distance and cast sympathetic or amused glances at each other.

As everyone knows, Madara's body is also home to an overly lively First Hokage.

Near the Hokage's office building, Madara encountered a familiar figure: Minato Namikaze.

Minato still looked young and handsome, but his body showed the subtle cracks characteristic of Edo Tensei.

He was dressed casually, smiling and greeting a little girl selling flowers by the roadside. The sunlight shone on his golden hair, making him look warm and peaceful.

After the great war, most of the spirits who were resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation returned to the Pure Land, but Minato was an exception.

Under Kushina's intense obsession with "not giving up until she sees her grandchildren born" and her onslaught of tears.

With Naruto's pleas, the Kage agreed to allow Minato to retain his consciousness.

Continuing to stay in Konoha in this special form to accompany her son can be considered a different kind of reunion.

"Mr. Ban, what's wrong with you...?"

When Minato saw Madara's familiar black face and the oppressive aura emanating from him, he already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Madara snorted irritably and said succinctly, "Go to the Hokage's office."

Needless to say, it's probably about instructing the Jonin again.

"They must have scared the kids away again!"

Kushina's lively voice rang in Minato's mind, filled with undisguised laughter: "I've already said it, Madara's teaching methods are only suitable for training ANBU, not for mentoring newly graduated kids."

Minato thought to himself, 'Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it.'

"Mr. Ban's aura... is indeed too intimidating; it might be a bit... too stimulating for the children."

Kushina: "Speaking of which, didn't Naruto have something important to do today? Did he go?"

Minato, recalling his son's behavior that morning, couldn't help but smile with a mixture of helplessness and affection: 'Him... he said he went to find that little girl from the Hyuga clan.'

"I was so nervous before setting off that I almost lost control of my chakra."

"I wonder how he is now... He said he wanted to prove his conscience, but... Sigh, I hope Hinata-san can comfort him."

Just as Minato was worrying about his son's marriage.

Meanwhile, outside the gates of the Hyuga clan's territory, the son he was worried about was undergoing a test even more severe than when facing a Six Paths level opponent.

Naruto Uzumaki, now a hero of the ninja world, is one of the core advocates of the Ninja Federation.

A sixth-level powerhouse, possessing world-shaking strength, was now like an ant on a hot pan.

He paced back and forth in front of the Hyuga clan's imposing gate, muttering to himself, with fine beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead.

"What should I do...? Would it be too abrupt to just say 'I like you'?"

"But if I don't say it... ahhh! It's so hard!"

"How about we go back today and come back another day?"

"No, no! I've already told Sasuke..."

Sasuke, whom he had dragged along to "bolster his courage" and "witness," leaned against a large tree not far away with his arms crossed.

Looking at Naruto's pathetic state, a bulge appeared on his forehead.

He finally lost his temper and coldly warned, "Idiot, if you don't knock, I'll use my Amenotejikara to teleport you directly to the Hyuga main family's living room. I'll count to three."

"No, no, no! Sasuke! I'll knock! I'll knock right now!"

Naruto was startled and finally stopped wandering around.

If this were sent directly there, it wouldn't be polite at all; it would be like dancing on someone's head!

He took a deep breath, as if he were going to the battlefield, and with a death-defying resolve, raised his trembling hand and knocked on the Hyuga family's door.

Although Naruto achieved great success after the war, he still enjoyed unparalleled prestige and accomplishments.

Together with Hyuga Hiashi, they pushed for the abolition of the "Caged Bird Seal" system, which had been in place for hundreds of years by the Hyuga clan.

Despite opposition from many elders of the Hyuga clan, Madara Uchiha personally visited the Hyuga clan once.

He didn't say anything harsh, but simply used his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to "gently" look at the elders for a few minutes.

Let those Hyuga elders, known for their rigid and serious personalities, get soaked with sweat.

Subsequently, in order to protect their own lives, they accelerated the reform process of Japanese football.

Today, although the Hyuga family still retains the structure of the main family and branch family, members of the branch family no longer need to be marked with a curse seal that restricts their freedom.

In terms of life, spiritual practice, and even some rights, they tend to be equal to the head family.

Of course, due to tradition and bloodline considerations, the core position of the main family still exists in name, but the absolute control and oppression no longer exist.

Naruto had many interactions with Hiashi during the reform process, but at that time he was focused on abolishing the unfair system and didn't think much about anything else.

But today is different!

He came to find Hinata Hyuga, the daughter of the Hiashi clan chief, as a man!

Just thinking about Hiashi's perpetually icy face, his eyes that could freeze you to death, and the scrutinizing look he gave me.

Naruto couldn't help but shiver, and his newly mustered courage deflated by half.

With a creak, the door was pulled open a crack.

It was Hyuga Neji who opened the door.

Dressed in casual clothes, he looked at Naruto outside the door, whose expression was constantly changing and who seemed at a loss, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Naruto? What are you doing here?"

"Well...I...I..."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, his face flushed red, and his mouth opened and closed a few times, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

His clumsy appearance made a certain fox in his consciousness space almost bristle with rage.

Naruto's body, consciousness space

The Nine-Tails, with its Yang attribute, impatiently swung its tail: "This idiot! Where did all that recklessness you usually have when you fight go?! Just say it! 'I love Hinata! I want to have little fox babies with her!' Can't you even say something as simple as that?!"

The Yin-attribute Nine-Tailed Fox was relatively calm but equally speechless: "Shut up, Yang-attribute. The more you urge him, the more nervous he gets. But... he is indeed too slow. It's making this old man angry."

When the great war ended and the Yin Nine-Tails returned, the Yang Nine-Tails could have completely separated and regained its freedom.

But it looked at Naruto, whom it had watched grow up, fought alongside, and long regarded as its "adopted son."

Ultimately, still worried, he took the initiative to have Minato seal it back into Naruto's body, so that it could reunite with the Yin Nine-Tails and become the complete Kurama.

That's how it should have been, but I don't know if there was a problem during the sealing process.

When the Yang-attribute Nine-Tails re-entered Naruto's body, the two did not merge but instead existed independently.

Fortunately, the two nine lamas are on the same page except when they disagree and want to fight.

This has left behind a harmless yet often amusing "side effect."

Chapter 520 Madara: If you dare let that white-haired guy in, I'll kill myself!

"Oh? It's Naruto. What are you doing standing at the door? Come in and sit down."

Hiashi Hyuga walked slowly towards them, a smile on his face that could be described as "kind" or even "enthusiastic".

Looking at Naruto, it didn't seem like he was looking at a blond kid who might be eyeing his precious daughter.

It was more like watching a long-lost, highly admired friend from a different generation.

This made Naruto, who was already extremely nervous, even more flustered: "Ah! Uncle Hiashi! No, no need! I, I was just passing by..."

"Since you're here, come in and have a cup of tea."

Hiashi's tone left no room for argument; he even patted Naruto on the shoulder, the force of which made Naruto stumble.

Naruto was flattered, but at the same time felt very uncomfortable.

This was once the rigid and serious Hyuga clan leader, whose gaze could kill.

Since the abolition of the caged bird system, my attitude towards myself has completely changed.

Sometimes their enthusiasm made him feel uneasy.

"Um... Uncle Hiashi, actually I was looking for Hinata..."

Naruto tried to steer the conversation back on track.

"Hinata,"

As if just remembering, Hiashi said in a casual tone, "She just received an urgent Class C escort mission and left the village. Is there something you need from her?"

"Huh? They went on a mission?"

Naruto was stunned, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, she was relieved that she didn't have to immediately face the scene after the confession.

On the other hand, a huge sense of loss also welled up.

"Yes, it's a real pity."

Hiashi nodded, still maintaining his "friendly" smile: "Since Hinata isn't here, let's have a chat. Why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

"I happen to have some ideas about the next phase of collaborative training for the Ninja Federation and would like to hear your opinion."

Naruto felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing the phrases "eating a simple meal" and "listening to opinions."

Having a private dinner with this former Iceberg Clan Chief to discuss business?
