[ In a flash, another half a year passed. ]
[ Everything was developing in an orderly fashion, under the deliberate control of young Naruto. ]
[ Only the Uchiha situation seemed to become increasingly unstable. ]
[ The Hyuga, on the other hand, was becoming more and more solid. ]
[ But it was as if the two clans had conspired; half a year had passed, and they still refused to reveal the major events that had occurred in Konoha over the past decade or so. ]
[ Finally, this day, young Naruto celebrated his fifth birthday. ]
[ On this day, all his friends arrived. ]
[ "Naruto, Happy Birthday~!" x5 ]
"Happy Birthday!"
Many people across the Ninja World also sent their blessings to Black-Framed Naruto.
Kushina pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.
She couldn't bear to watch these things anymore.
Fortunately, her good friend Uchiha Mikoto was there to comfort her.
[ After the birthday, life returned to its usual tranquility. A few weeks later. ]
[ Hiruzen Sarutobi visited again. ]
[ He brought the Ninja Academy enrollment application form. ]
[ And just in the few days young Naruto was preparing for school. ]
[ A major event occurred in the Uchiha. ]
[ Of course, besides the Konoha High Council and the Uchiha, no one else knew. ]
[ "The Village... and the glory of the Uchiha Clan, I leave to you to protect." ]
[ Uchiha Shisui plucked out his other eye, handed it to Uchiha Itachi, and a faint smile touched his lips. ]
[ After uttering his last words, Uchiha Shisui leaned back and jumped off the cliff, committing suicide. ]
[ He fell into the Naka River and drifted away with the current. ]
[ "Shisui... Ah!!!" ]
[ Uchiha Itachi, only eleven years old, witnessed the death of his best friend and teacher, Uchiha Shisui. ]
[ He was greatly stimulated, closed his eyes in pain, and shed a line of bloody tears. ]
[ When he opened them again, his three-tomoe Sharingan had evolved into a Mangekyo Sharingan. ]
Uchiha Izuna: Strange!
Uchiha Izuna: That kid named Shisui should also have a Mangekyo, right?
Uchiha Izuna: Why was he robbed of his eyes and chose to commit suicide so weakly?
Senju Tobirama: That appearance... is he a descendant of Kagami?
Ino Yamanaka: "Godfather, don't be confused. If something feels off, just blame it on the dog Third Hokage, and it all makes sense!"
Danzo Shimura: "Exactly! Hiruzen, speak up! Are you feeling guilty?!"
[ Uchiha Itachi ultimately left with Shisui's eye. ]
[ He did not avenge Shisui. ]
[ Faced with the suspicions of his clan members (regarding Uchiha Shisui's death), proud as he was, he disdained to explain. ]
[ That night. ]
[ In the study, Uchiha Fugaku told him to control a member of the Konoha High Council. ]
[ Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes, saying nothing, but he was utterly disappointed with the entire Uchiha Clan. ]
[ He disdained and did not want to explain anything. He had his own ideas, his clear goals, and knew what to do at what time. ]
[ Seeing his son in such a state, Uchiha Fugaku frowned deeply. ]
[ He eventually waved his hand, dismissing Uchiha Itachi. ]
[ Subsequently, Uchiha Fugaku left his home and walked towards the depths of the clan compound. ]
[ In the shadows, a figure slowly turned around. ]
[ A tiger-skin mask, long black hair, revealing only one eye, created an intimidating presence in the shadows. ]
[ "Uchiha Madara, I'll call you by your self-proclaimed name for now." ]
[ "Is Shisui's matter related to you?" ]
[ Uchiha Fugaku's voice was cold, but he remained calm. ]
[ After all, Uchiha Fugaku still trusted his son, Uchiha Itachi, more. ]
[ "Suspecting me? Then I should also consider whether to cooperate with you," the Masked Man, who called himself Uchiha Madara, said coldly. ]
"Uchiha Madara?"
"Isn't Uchiha Madara already dead?"
"How did this guy pop up again?"
"And isn't Uchiha Madara still in the chat room as a dead man right now?"
Everyone questioned.
Uchiha Obito: "Who is this guy?"
Uchiha Obito: "Could Shisui's death really be related to him?"
Kakashi Hatake: "Obito!"
Kakashi trembled all over, no longer caring about anything else, and immediately spoke in the chat room.
Obito!
That was him... Uchiha Obito: "Hmph, foolish Kakashi, you're still as clueless as ever."
Black Zetsu, startled, quickly knocked on the laboratory door.
"Obito, what! Are! You! Doing!!!"
Even Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This useless trash, is he going to expose himself?"
"Hmph!"
"A waste of time!"
"He's already captured the Nine-Tailed, yet he's still playing these boring tricks in Konoha... Useless!"
"If it weren't for that night, how could so many troublesome things have happened?"
"Even if Uzumaki Naruto is the reincarnation of Asura, without the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki identity, he might not grow much."
"Thankfully, the golden frame world doesn't have too many big problems."
In the underground base.
Obito glanced at Black Zetsu expressionlessly.
"To clear my name."
"I've already appeared in the black frame world; it wouldn't be good if people made the connection."
"Ultimately, I had to say something; otherwise, it wouldn't be like my style in a false world."
Black Zetsu: "..."
Foolish!!!
"Do you even see your own message!"
Black Zetsu was truly enraged.
This guy!
He's truly useless!
Under the mask, Obito's brow furrowed slightly.
He then realized.
He, who thought he was clever in clearing his name.
Had exposed himself instead.
His avatar was lit up, and his message had double quotes.
Instantly, Obito felt he was losing face.
However, not many people cared about him.
Plus, Kakashi was still in a state of profound surprise.
No one noticed Obito's change.
Of course, most importantly, the developments on the large black-framed screen were too captivating.
[ For the future of the Uchiha, a coup d'état is necessary. ]
[ Currently, Shisui, who possessed the Mangekyo, has gone missing and is presumed dead. ]
[ The clan can only place its hopes on this 'Uchiha Madara' who once caused the Nine-Tails Rampage. ]
[ "I understand." ]
[ Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath and bowed to 'Uchiha Madara'. ]
[ "Hmph!" The Masked Man snorted coldly, then spiral-shaped spatial fluctuations appeared around him, and after a few breaths, he vanished from Uchiha Fugaku's sight. ]
Uchiha Izuna: Who is this kid?
Uchiha Izuna: onii-chan disdains nothing more than hiding one's face.
Uchiha Madara: Indeed, this kid has guts to impersonate me, but unfortunately, he doesn't understand me.
[ The opening day of the Ninja Academy arrived. ]
[ On this day, young Naruto, dressed neatly and holding the Ninja Academy enrollment application form given by Hiruzen Sarutobi, walked towards the Ninja Academy. ]
[ Walking on the streets, it was still the same as usual. ]
[ He simply ignored these people. ]
[ As for gaining their approval, pranks, and such. ]
[ He was just saying it; if you take it seriously, you lose. ]
[ "Naruto~!" ]
[ "Over here, over here~!" ]
[ At the entrance of the Ninja Academy. ]
[ The few little ones had arrived early. ]
[ Since they were dropped off by their parents, they didn't come to enroll with young Naruto. ]
[ Inoichi Yamanaka's eye twitched, suppressing his daughter who was about to jump up, and he cast a resentful glance at the little blonde in the distance. ]
[ Hyuga Hiashi still maintained a serious expression. He looked at young Naruto, then lowered his gaze to his feet, and then looked up, asking his daughter with his eyes. ]
[ "Go on, don't slack off at school either. Don't bring shame to the Hyuga Main Family." ]
[ "Yes~ Father~!" Hinata immediately showed a sweet smile. ]
[ Watching his daughter run off, Hyuga Hiashi sighed. However, looking at the bright side, Hinata was the most talented individual the Hyuga had seen in many years! ]
[ Just two and a half months after she had eaten her fill, she fought to a draw with the genius boy of the Hyuga Branch Family, Hyuga Neji. ]
[ A year later, among the Hyuga, peers couldn't even see Hinata's 'taillights'! ]
