Please Invite the Lord into the Urn

"Cough, cough, Clan Head."

"Hm? What is it?"

Hiashi Hyuga looked puzzled, wondering why his younger brother had called out to him.

Seeing Hizashi Hyuga signal with his eyes, he looked toward Fei Shi, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He suddenly remembered that while Fei Shi used the Uzumaki surname when out and about, he used the Uchiha surname in front of acquaintances. So...

"Cough, cough, I... I wasn't talking about you, Fei Shi."

The usually stern Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but feel a wave of awkwardness and helplessness.

Ever since he had reconciled with Fei Shi, his usual stoic demeanor would crumble every time he saw him. He couldn't beat him, and it was awkward. He could only suffer in silence.

"Are you looking to take Lady Hinata and Neji as your disciples?"

Hizashi Hyuga changed the subject to ease his older brother's embarrassment, while also hoping his child could escape this damned fate.

Hiashi Hyuga saw through his brother's intentions. As the clan head, he should have stopped him, but as an older brother...

Hiashi Hyuga did not stop Hizashi Hyuga, which made Fei Shi think a little higher of him.

"That can be done. Once they enroll, they can just live at my place, and I will teach them well. Besides, those two geniuses, Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, often come to my place to exchange ideas, and I will also be teaching Sasuke and the Fourth Hokage's orphan. Having peers to compete with will better stimulate their motivation, and they will learn a lot just by being around Shisui and Itachi."

So good?!

They knew of the two genius ninjas, Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, but they hadn't expected them to be seeking guidance from Fei Shi. Didn't he avoid dealings with the Uchiha?

Seeming to notice their confusion, Fei Shi explained:

"Just because I don't care for the Uchiha clan doesn't mean I don't appreciate excellent, talented juniors. These two have great potential. As long as they don't die young, they could lead Konoha to new heights and even have a chance at the position of Hokage."

Hiashi Hyuga and Hizashi Hyuga were shocked; they hadn't expected Fei Shi to rate these two Uchiha youths so highly. One had to know that Fei Shi was not only a monstrous genius but a powerhouse with strength rivaling or even exceeding the leaders of the Five Great Ninja Villages. To have such a man rate them so highly, even suggesting they could become Hokage, was staggering.

If one were to ask who had the hardest path to becoming Hokage, it was undoubtedly the Uchiha clan.

Ever since the Second Hokage took office, the Uchiha had been viewed with suspicion. After the Third Hokage took over, there were policies to suppress the Uchiha, as he didn't want them to become too powerful and exceed his control.

So, hearing Fei Shi say these two Uchiha youths had a chance at the Hokage seat—how could they not be shocked?

"No need to be shocked; they truly have the aptitude for it."

After listening, Hiashi Hyuga was silent for a moment before speaking:

"Since they are juniors you appreciate, I will give you a word of advice: tell them to be careful of Danzo Shimura. He has no room in his eyes for the Uchiha clan. You should have them be cautious."

"I know that. They are excellent in ninjutsu and combat; they understand as soon as I say a few words. My exchanges with them are more about interpersonal matters—how to correctly judge people and things."

"Oh, hahahaha, I forgot about your relationship with the Third Hokage. As a junior he thinks highly of, how could he not teach you these things? Hahahaha."

Fei Shi also smiled without saying a word. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't taught him, having watched Naruto, he could judge their personalities and how to interact with them based on the original work.

After a moment of silence, Fei Shi asked:

"Nothing else to say?"

Fei Shi looked at the two Hyuga brothers. "Uh, no..."

"Then I'm going to go keep my little niece company. As a young man, I don't have much to talk about with you grown men. Hinata-chan, hahahaha, Uncle Fei Shi is here to see you."

"Come, come, let Uncle hold you, little niece."

That night.

Fei Shi stayed the night at the Hyuga compound, while Naruto remained at the Third Hokage's home. With the Hokage's wife, Sarutobi Biwako, looking after Naruto, Fei Shi didn't have to worry, and Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't object to the arrangement.

He had been very dissatisfied with Danzo's previous actions and could take this opportunity to slowly guide Naruto. Naruto was a Jinchuriki and the child of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki; his talent couldn't be poor, so he was one of the future pillars of Konoha.

He could teach him the Will of Fire and tell him stories about his father, Minato Namikaze, even if he couldn't reveal his identity yet.

Since the last incident, Hiruzen Sarutobi had asked Fei Shi if they should take the opportunity to reveal Naruto's parentage to the public. However, Fei Shi had refused, arguing that this hostility wouldn't make Naruto decadent; it would only push him forward because he was Minato Namikaze's son. We only need to state the helplessness of being a Jinchuriki; Naruto can handle the rest.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had agreed.

Although some of the public still couldn't help but look at Naruto with hatred, most felt heartache that such a young child had to bear such a heavy fate.

Every time he went out, some shopkeepers would give Naruto little trinkets, hoping the child could be happy and not be crushed by fate.

Naruto also...

Damn it, I'm getting sidetracked again.

The reason Fei Shi stayed here was to see if the Land of Lightning could still be as shameless as in the original plot with him intervening. This was also a way to declare his strength and existence to the Ninja World.

In the middle of the night, he sat in meditation to refine chakra in the room arranged by Hiashi Hyuga. Meanwhile, the special skill he had drawn from the lottery, Observation Haki, blanketed the Hyuga compound.

In his perception, two Cloud Village ninjas were walking toward Hinata's room. As they grabbed the sleeping Hinata and prepared to flee, Fei Shi stepped out of his room and arrived in front of the Cloud Village ninjas in a flash.

"You two, what is the meaning of this late-night visit? And could you please put down my little niece?"

Fei Shi said with a smile, while the servant responsible for Hinata's care behind him ran to call for help.

"Damn it! We've been discovered!"

"Heh, a mere brat..."

"Retreat! It won't be good if we get caught."

With that, they ignored Fei Shi and fled rapidly.

"Heh, ignoring my words just like that... you'll pay a heavy price."

BOOM!

The Cloud Village ninjas felt the chakra fluctuations erupting behind them, their faces pale with shock.

Such chakra fluctuations were even stronger than those of Lord Bee, the Eight-Tails jinchuriki of their own village. Damn it, how could Konoha still have such a powerhouse! Wasn't Konoha supposed to be withering after the death of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze! How could this be!

Run! Run quickly! Otherwise, we'll die!

"Oh my, I already told you to put down my little niece, why wouldn't you listen to reason?"

Many ninjas felt this powerful surge of chakra and couldn't help but tremble in fear.

Could it be that the Nine-Tails has gone berserk again?
