Naruto's Bloodline

No one around paid any attention to these jealous voices. Moreover, the owner of the voice was a universally disliked guy, so everyone selectively ostracized him.

However, Yu turned his head and looked over.

A boy with yellow hair stood not far behind him. Although there were many people around, this boy seemed out of place with his surroundings.

"Lonely."

Looking at the boy, Yu thought of this word. The boy's identity also appeared in his mind—Naruto Uzumaki, the true protagonist of Naruto, whose Talk no Jutsu was the strongest in the universe.

Naruto was currently wearing very old clothes. He was dejectedly kicking the ground with his head down, clearly in a bad mood. But Naruto felt more envy; he really wanted to be Sasuke, surrounded by people.

"Naruto Uzumaki... Uzumaki... Uzumaki..."

As Yu looked at Naruto, information flashed through his mind. His eyes widened, and a fiery passion began to ignite in his gaze as he looked at Naruto.

"Though the mountain village is winding, and the path seems lost, a new village appears when the willows darken and flowers bloom."

This ancient poem appeared in Yu's mind. The method to solve his current lack of chakra had been right beside him all along, and he was only just realizing it now. Wasn't this exactly what the poem described?

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Naruto also felt Yu's intense gaze. He had never seen anyone look at him with such an expression. For a moment, Naruto, a little scared, took two steps back.

"The Uzumaki Clan is a descendant clan of Asura, a distant blood relative of the Senju Clan, possessing vast amounts of chakra and vitality."

This was the information Yu recalled about the Uzumaki Clan.

What he needed now was chakra. The three methods he had considered before couldn't be accomplished. But now, the Uzumaki bloodline was right in front of him—wasn't this the best solution?

Moreover, Naruto was the reincarnation of Asura, the Sage of Six Paths' second son. The physical bloodline inherited from the Sage of Six Paths was even stronger. If he could obtain Naruto's bloodline, it would be a huge enhancement for him, not much weaker than the bloodline of Hashirama Senju.

And this was better than the methods he had considered before, and easier to achieve.

Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to put on a kind and approachable expression as he walked towards Naruto.

However, Yu didn't realize that his current expression was quite creepy. The corners of his mouth were pulled up high, like a creepy old man trying to lure a young boy.

"You... you... who are you?"

Although Naruto always appeared fearless, constantly causing trouble like a mischievous little devil, all of this was a facade to hide himself and attract attention. In essence, he was still an eight-year-old child.

"I'm not a bad person, I just want to get to know you," Yu continued to smile, his eyes constantly scanning Naruto up and down.

"I... I..."

Naruto was stunned by Yu's words. No one had ever wanted to be his friend. If he hadn't constantly caused trouble to attract people's attention, they might have forgotten him entirely.

"Really, I'm Yuyou Uchiha, and I'm eight years old. How about we be friends?" Yu said, extending his hand as he reached Naruto.

He never hesitated when it was time to act.

Naruto was taken aback by Yu's enthusiasm. He had always fantasized about the villagers being his friends, but in reality, everyone disliked being around him.

Looking at Yu, whose smile was a little creepy, Naruto felt a strange sensation. He didn't know what to do with Yu's outstretched hand, whether to shake it or not. He truly longed for a friend, but he was also afraid of being toyed with.

Suddenly, Naruto noticed Yu's clothes and immediately seemed to understand something. His eyes became instantly vigilant.

"You're from the same clan as that arrogant Sasuke, aren't you!" Naruto glared at Yu "fiercely."

"That's right."

Yu answered directly. He was wearing Uchiha attire, and anyone with eyes could tell he was a member of the Uchiha.

"I am a member of the Uchiha, but what does that have to do with me being friends with you?" Yu said.

"Uh..."

Naruto thought about it and realized that Yu's words made sense. There were many people in the Uchiha clan, and Sasuke was just one of them.

"Don't you want to be friends with me? Are you looking down on me because I'm a dead last!" Yu suddenly changed tactics. Naruto was very wary of him now, so he decided to play the card of shared misfortune.

"I didn't think that."

Naruto said.

But Yu's words had just begun.

"In our class, everyone thinks I'm weak and avoids me, unwilling to play or be friends with me. I thought you could be my friend, but I didn't expect even you to be unwilling."

As he spoke, Yu's eyes began to well up with tears, seemingly heartbroken by Naruto's rejection. At the same time, Yu withdrew his hand, bowed slightly to Naruto, and said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, Naruto-kun."

After speaking, Yu turned and walked away dejectedly with his head down.

At that moment, Naruto froze. Looking at Yu's retreating back, he felt as if he saw himself. He recalled that Yu had actively approached him to be friends, but he had been unappreciative, thinking Yu had malicious intentions.

"Did I do the wrong thing?"

Naruto thought as he looked at Yu's back.

However, Yu was in a hurry at this moment.

"No way! With my acting skills, which won first place in the junior high school arts festival skit competition, I couldn't even fool an eight-year-old child? Is my acting skill declining, or are the children in the Naruto world just too sharp?"

But he couldn't stop now. Even if the act failed, he had to continue. He would find a way to get closer to Naruto later; he had plenty of time.

Of course, why didn't Yu just find an opportunity to get some blood from Naruto, since all he needed was Naruto's cells?

Yu had considered this, but it wasn't very realistic. Although Naruto appeared to be alone, his whereabouts were always under Hiruzen Sarutobi's control.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi discovered that he had designs on Naruto, he would be finished. After all, Naruto was far more important than him.

Furthermore, fusing bloodlines wasn't something that could be done overnight. He only had a general idea now. To truly fuse Naruto's bloodline, he would need to do more research. Therefore, he needed a lot of Naruto's blood, cells, and other materials. This was a long-term endeavor.

Yu had already reached a patch of woods by the sports field but still hadn't heard Naruto call him.
