The Uchiha Clan Has Defected from Konoha En Masse!

"Where are you taking Naruto? To the Fire Temple?"

In the end, Minato Namikaze spoke with difficulty.

He looked at the baby in Guy's arms. Though his eyes were full of reluctance, he had already made his decision.

Guy slowly shook his head.

"No, not the Fire Temple. The Konoha Orphanage."

"The orphanage?"

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki both froze for a moment.

Guy nodded seriously.

"The Three-Tails, Four-Tails, and Nine-Tails wreaked havoc on Konoha. Even with advance warning, there were still heavy casualties."

"Many children lost their parents."

"At a time like this, no one would notice the orphanage taking in another child."

Minato Namikaze and Kushina wore expressions of agreement.

Doing so truly would not arouse suspicion.

Guy paused, then said with a faint smile:

"There are many children at the orphanage. Naruto won't be lonely in the future."

"And if Naruto is raised there, Lord Fourth and Lady Kushina can visit him regularly."

"As Hokage, no one would suspect you of visiting the children at the orphanage."

"When the time is right, or when little Naruto has grown up, it won't be too late to tell him about his origins."

Minato Namikaze and Kushina's expressions softened.

Indeed, Guy was right.

The Konoha Orphanage was inside the village, very close to the Hokage residence.

Minato Namikaze could even place a Flying Thunder God mark at the orphanage beforehand.

If danger arose, he could rush there immediately.

There was nothing to worry about.

And whenever they missed their child, they could visit him at any time.

Guy's arrangement was extremely reasonable.

The two exchanged a glance, then slowly nodded, accepting Guy's plan.

Thinking of something, Guy continued, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity:

"For Naruto's health and safety, and to avoid drawing attention, let his surname be 'Uzumaki'
