Kaleidoscope Contact: Nine-Tails Jinchūriki

The little boy seemed to see things, walking like a normal person.

But within his calm expression, there was a hint of unspoken authority.

Many parents who didn't understand why involuntarily made way, their gazes towards the little boy filled with uncertainty.

Only a few clans, like the Akimichi and Inuzuka, looked extremely serious.

"Dad?!" Akimichi Choji was a bit shocked. His father, Akimichi Choza, had actually opened his eyes!

Akimichi Choza had a kind face, his small eyes usually appearing closed. Now, his small eyes were clearly visible, and a hint of ferocity seemed to flicker within them!

Nara Shikamaru, standing next to Akimichi Choji, frowned at the sight.

Why were the adults, especially the adults of the clans, so serious about a little boy about his age?

At this moment, he noticed the clan crest on the little boy's clothes.

The Uchiha Clan's?

Suddenly, he recalled the great battle that erupted in the village that day, the fiery skeleton giant smashing the ground madly.

The scene instantly became clear, and he could still hear the words filled with endless rage in his ears: "Danzo! Give my brother's eyes back!!!"

And that day, when his father, Nara Shikaku, returned, he said nothing, but always looked at him with a strange expression.

Finally, his father told him a strange thing: "If you meet an Uchiha child, don't get close."

He didn't need his father to tell him; he knew the Uchiha Clan's current situation was troublesome and naturally kept his distance, even avoiding Uchiha Sasuke.

But now he understood. The one his father told him to stay away from wasn't Uchiha Sasuke, but the little boy in front of him!

At this moment, a little boy with blond hair and blue eyes rushed out of the Ninja Academy, his expression very excited.

"Choji! Shikamaru! Let's go play together!" He looked expectantly at Akimichi Choji and Nara Shikamaru.

This little boy had a most obvious characteristic: six whisker-like markings on his cheeks.

However, his reaction seemed a bit slow.

Only after he ran out did he notice the strange atmosphere at the scene.

But he wasn't the slowest to react.

"Sasuke-kun, shall we go play together?" A little girl with sakura-pink hair, her eyes sparkling with love, looked hopefully at a handsome little boy, as if he were the only one in her eyes.

The little boy was a bit arrogant, not even looking at her, and continued walking, saying, "I'm going home to train ninjutsu."

The little girl didn't give up, looking hopefully, "Then let's train nin...jutsu together?"

Only after walking five or six steps out of the school gate did the little girl notice the strange atmosphere at the entrance.

And Uchiha Sasuke, who had been walking expressionlessly, was also stunned.

He instantly recalled Uchiha Itachi's serious words: "Sasuke, promise me, don't get close to Jinghuo Uchiha."

But now, he hadn't gotten close, and Jinghuo Uchiha had arrived.

He stared blankly at Jinghuo Uchiha: "You... why are you here?"

Uchiha Sasuke thought Jinghuo Uchiha had come for him.

The silver-haired Anbu following Jinghuo Uchiha, and the Anbu with Uzumaki Naruto, also thought so.

After all, Uzumaki Naruto's identity was a secret; no one knew.

But everyone knew they had to protect this little boy, Uzumaki Naruto.

Although they found it strange that the Third Hokage allowed rumors in the village that this little boy was a demon fox, making the villagers loathe him, it had nothing to do with them, so they didn't interfere.

However, Jinghuo Uchiha turned towards Uzumaki Naruto and said something that shocked many people.

"I know your dad."

Uzumaki Naruto's reaction at this moment was faster than anyone else's.

"Really? Do you know who my dad is?" Uzumaki Naruto, who had always envied other people's dads and moms, became instantly excited.

But he was also afraid Jinghuo Uchiha was lying to him.

Quite a few children had used this to lure him somewhere and beat him up.

But he wasn't afraid of being beaten; he was afraid of hope turning into despair once more.

Jinghuo Uchiha didn't answer and turned to leave.

Uzumaki Naruto froze for a second.

The next second.

"Wait!"

Uzumaki Naruto hurriedly ran up.

The silver-haired youth and the other Anbu's scalps immediately tingled.

"You keep an eye on them, I'll go report to Lord Hokage!"

The silver-haired youth nodded, unhesitatingly putting away the Make-Out Paradise in his hand, and quickly followed behind Jinghuo Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto.

His gaze was fixed on them, as if unwilling to miss a single moment.

Uzumaki Naruto pestered Jinghuo Uchiha, demanding that Jinghuo Uchiha reveal who his father was.

However, Jinghuo Uchiha did not say.

Because once it was revealed, the entire situation would collapse.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, would collapse, as he treated the son of Konoha's hero, the Fourth Hokage, in such a manner.

The villagers of Konoha would collapse, as they could not forget the hateful things they had done to the son of Konoha's hero, the Fourth Hokage.

Konoha would collapse, firstly because the ninjas would be lost, wondering what they were protecting by guarding Konoha; secondly, because the Uchiha clan would seize the opportunity to stage a coup.

Ultimately, only external villages coveting Konoha would benefit.

They would occupy Konoha's advantageous geographical resources and build their own ninja village on Konoha's ruins.

And the Uchiha clan, after Konoha's collapse, would naturally not be able to escape unscathed.

The Land of Whirlpools was once so powerful, its sealing techniques unrivaled, yet it was still destroyed.

The sealing techniques of the Land of Whirlpools were like this, and so was the Uchiha's Sharingan.

In the end, Jinghuo Uchiha merely took Uzumaki Naruto to eat a good meal and then sent him back.

The silver-haired Anbu watched this scene, completely bewildered: "What is this kid doing?"

Everyone was bewildered, but only the Konoha higher-ups had unusually grim expressions.

Because only they knew that Uzumaki Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's jinchūriki!

Hokage Building.

In the corridor, footsteps accompanied by the sound of a cane, emitting a deterrent "bang bang" sound.

Soon, the door to the Hokage's office was violently pushed open, as if a gust of wind made a swift "whoosh" sound.

"Hiruzen!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, smoking his pipe, looked at Shimura Danzō before him and asked, "Is there something?"

Shimura Danzō stated sinisterly, "The Uchiha contacted that demon fox today!"

Although it was a statement, Sarutobi Hiruzen understood the hidden implication immediately.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond, instead taking a puff from his pipe and exhaling thick white smoke, saying, "I already know."

Shimura Danzō, as if not hearing the implied refusal in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, stated vehemently, "The Uchiha clan is getting more and more arrogant! If this continues, the Uchiha clan will eventually launch a coup!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's worries seemed to dissipate like smoke.

He took a puff from his pipe, giving a perfunctory "hmm," his gaze distant, looking nowhere in particular, his thoughts unknown.

This displeased Shimura Danzō. He slightly raised his cane, making a "bang" sound, as if commanding Sarutobi Hiruzen to listen to him seriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him calmly and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Shimura Danzō's hand gripping the cane creaked, his eyes revealing a hint of ferocity.

But this ferocity was like a wolf seeing a tiger, and he ultimately retreated.

He no longer thought of using this opportunity to urge Sarutobi Hiruzen to eliminate the Uchiha.

Instead, he stated his other objective.

"That demon fox, hand it over to Root."
