Naruto: Sukuna Jinchuriki, I am Uchiha.

Not long after he could remember, he was no longer allowed to leave the Uchiha clan's territory.

Every time he saw his peers like Izumi happily going to school, he longed to know what that felt like.

He couldn't understand why everyone in the tribe was so happy and fulfilled.

Only their family is different.

Like a caged bird.

This is the home of the Uchiha clan, but it is also their prison.

What terrified him even more was...

His younger brother, Sasuke, will experience the same feelings as him.

There is absolutely no hope...

Thinking this, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared in his lowered eye sockets.

Sensing Itachi activating his Sharingan, Uchiha Kagami smiled slightly.

"Did Fugaku tell you that?"

Uchiha Kagami remained silent, taking it as his tacit agreement.

Uchiha Kagami sat down directly on the shore, looking at the shimmering lake surface.

"Itachi, do you know?"

"I really like the Uchiha clan."

"A monster dwells within me, and suddenly I find myself in this strange world."

"I am also afraid, afraid of the unknown future, and also afraid of the predetermined future."

"I had no relatives before, and I didn't have any when I first came here."

“My grandmother adopted me, and the people in my clan are very kind to me. No one wants to hurt me.”

"After that, I had the courage to fight that monster."

"Because I know that only by relying on his power can I change the predetermined future."

“Your father told you that you are sinners, but he didn’t tell you what sins you committed.”

“I know, that’s the kind of person he is.”

“I can tell you definitively that if it weren’t for my appearance, the Uchiha clan would have been wiped out by you and your son.”

Itachi Uchiha's pupils contracted sharply, and his small body trembled violently.

Uchiha Kagami's voice was extremely calm, but to Uchiha Itachi, it sounded like thunder.

"so……"

"I will never forgive you, never."

"I won't assume you're right just because this hasn't happened yet."

“I hate you all, I’ve hated you for ten whole years.”

"Only when you spend your lives in regret will my hatred be appeased!"

tick tock...tick tock...

Uchiha Itachi could no longer hold on and collapsed to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

"Lord Jing... thank you for helping me understand..."

"I am willing to atone for my sins with my father... but I beg you... please don't let Sasuke live such a life..."

"Please..."

Uchiha Kagami stood up.

“I will take Sasuke as my disciple; he is different from you.”

"He and Mikoto Uchiha will live as normal Uchiha clan members."

"Thanks……"

"thank you……"

Itachi Uchiha's tears have a different meaning now.

It is a transformation from despair to hope.

It's okay if I don't have freedom... as long as Sasuke can leave, that's enough...

Upon arriving at the Hokage's office, Uchiha Kagami saw a large group of people sitting outside the door.

There were people from the village, and others whose attire clearly indicated they weren't from the Land of Fire.

Tsk tsk, it feels like waiting for Dr. Minato to examine me.

Uchiha Kagami bypassed the crowd and gently kicked open the office door.

The guards at the door acted as if they hadn't seen anything, and closed the door after Uchiha Kagami went inside.

A nobleman from a small country who had been waiting for a long time suddenly became dissatisfied and stood up.

He had barely uttered the first word when a cold blade was pressed against his neck.

He cautiously turned his head and met a pair of scarlet eyes.

"You'd better shut up. Lord Jing might not mind your rudeness, but I will definitely kill you!"

The Uchiha clan!!

The nobleman from that small country was almost scared to death... oh, no, he was already scared to death.

The Uchiha who was holding the sword immediately looked disgusted, and the blade moved away slightly.

"Someone come quick and drag this guy out, he stinks!"

Shuimen in the office looked noticeably more haggard than before.

This truly represents the countless counties of the Land of Fire on his shoulders; it's normal for him to be a little tired.

Seeing Kagami walk in, Minato put down the documents and gave a warm smile.

"You're here."

Uchiha Kagami casually sat down on the sofa, looking at the few people standing in front of the desk.

The headband of Kusagakure...

One of them was a red-haired woman with a slightly protruding belly.

"They are ninjas from the Grass Village. They say that a powerful monster is causing trouble in the Land of Grass and they hope we can send someone to eliminate it."

After introducing himself to Uchiha Kagami, Minato turned to the people of Kusagakure and rubbed his temples in distress: "But the village really doesn't have enough manpower, so there's nothing we can do to help."

"But Hokage-sama..."

Before the person who was supposed to be the leader could finish speaking, a voice interrupted.

"That red-haired woman, what's your name?"

The woman trembled when she was suddenly mentioned.

Although we don't know Uchiha Kagami's identity, judging from his casual way of entering and leaving the Hokage's office, we can tell that he is an important person.

"I...I'm called Chiho..."

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Grass Ninja Village ninja, who turned and bowed respectfully to Uchiha Kagami.

"My lord, this woman is not only beautiful, but she also has a very special ability: a single bite from her can heal your injuries!"

"If Konoha helps us kill that monster, we will offer her to Konoha!"

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze frowned.

His mind was completely focused on the documents, and it was only after hearing what this person said that he began to carefully observe the red-haired woman...

Her hair color is much darker than Kushina's, but this aura... there's no mistake!

An invisible blade sliced ​​through the woman's sleeve, leaving her arm covered in a dense array of bite marks.

"Hey, Chiho, who's your husband? Is he dead?"

Chiho shook her head in terror: "I...I don't know..."

Don’t you know…

Uchiha Kagami smirked: "Minato, you don't mind making a mess of your office, do you?"

"It's okay, we can have someone clean it up later."

Minato Namikaze's eyes were filled with a chilling light, his killing intent almost overflowing.

Minato Namikaze placed his hand on Chiho's face, and then they heard a sound of something being chopped up.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

"This will be your home from now on."

Chapter 89 Joining Akatsuki, Uchiha Kagami

The body parts were cleared away, and Karin's mother was also taken away.

One can imagine the hellish days she endured in Kusagakure.

But even so...

She didn't even choose Konoha when she fled...

Namikaze Minato sighed.

"As long as the ninja system remains unchanged, such tragedies will continue indefinitely."

Uchiha Kagami leaned back on the sofa: "You can think about the rules and regulations yourself."

"Get me a complete map of the ninja world; I need to go out for a while."

"Are you going to hunt those evil creatures?"

Minato Namikaze was aware of what Sakumo Hatake was doing.

Or rather, Uchiha Kagami rarely hides his actions from people; he just doesn't explain them much.

"That's it."

After the others brought the map of the ninja world, Uchiha Kagami stood up and gave instructions.

"I'm carrying your kunai. If anything happens in the tribe, come find me immediately."

Namikaze Minato nodded.

He was well aware of the seriousness of the matter; that boy named Obito, once he fell into darkness, made it difficult for Hatake Sakumo to control him.

If something happens to the Uchiha clan, causing Uchiha Kagami to fall into darkness...

Then it won't just be a matter for the Land of Fire; perhaps the entire ninja world will be destroyed by the mad Uchiha Kagami.

"By the way... Kagami, Kushina is pregnant."

Minato spoke, his face beaming with happiness.

Uchiha Kagami raised an eyebrow.

What a love-starved Asura! You arrived the moment your brother was reincarnated.

Before leaving, Uchiha Kagami turned back and smiled.

"Then let's hold a wedding for you and Kushina after the baby is born."

Minato has been so busy these past few years that his wedding ceremony was just a casual meal with Kagami and a few friends.

"Mirror... if you encounter Jiraiya-sensei, could you please tell him for me...?"

"I've decided on a name for the child. It'll be the name from his novel: Naruto."

"Are you so sure it's a boy?"

Minato chuckled: "Girls can have this name too. I like this strong name."
