My Sign-in System in Naruto

Haru suddenly realized something.

Although the Uchiha clan had been under the suspicion of the village's higher-ups since the time of the Second Hokage, the real turning point that led to their ostracization was the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Combined with Fugaku's earlier statement, "You're the one who doesn't understand," Haru instantly understood.

The Uchiha clan had clearly planned to use the Nine-Tails as their trump card for the coup.

"Sigh."

Fugaku let out a helpless sigh and began recounting a piece of Uchiha history to Haru.

It was indeed the reconciliation between the Senju and Uchiha clans that led to the founding of the Hidden Leaf Village.

However, as the clan leader, Uchiha Madara had attempted to stage a rebellion to seize control of the village.

But the clan members, who had finally achieved peace, were unwilling to start another war and chose to betray Madara.

Thus, Uchiha Madara, the clan leader, left the village alone.

"Even the Uchiha clan values peace and treasures the hard-won stability."

"If it weren't for the long-standing distrust and ostracization from the village, who would want to follow in Madara's footsteps?"

Fugaku's tone grew emotional, and in this moment, his heart was entirely focused on the Uchiha clan.

The village had robbed them of the chance to prove their innocence.

On the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage, they had wanted to join the village's ninjas in stopping the disaster.

But Danzo had ordered them to stand down.

Even after the chaos ended, Danzo had slandered them, using baseless accusations to push the Uchiha clan to the outskirts of the village.

The Anbu and Root had been constantly monitoring their every move.

"No one is willing to listen to the Uchiha clan's voice, and no one believes us."

However, Haru abruptly cut off Fugaku, who was growing increasingly agitated.

"Where is Naruto Uzumaki?"

Haru's sharp gaze locked onto Fugaku.

These words might just be complaints about the unfair treatment the Uchiha clan had suffered.

But if they had kidnapped Naruto Uzumaki, the situation would be entirely different.

"Naruto Uzumaki?!"

Uchiha Itachi was also stunned.

Fugaku had never mentioned this part to him.

Moreover, Itachi knew exactly who Naruto Uzumaki was.

Because of his surname, he was one of the few remaining members of the Uzumaki clan in the village.

This also meant that he was the container for the Nine-Tails, the village's jinchūriki.

"Father, did you really kidnap Naruto Uzumaki?"

Itachi asked nervously.

In fact, when Haru mentioned Naruto Uzumaki, Fugaku's expression also showed surprise.

This was enough to prove that Haru's guess was correct.

And it also meant that the baseless accusations Danzo had pinned on the Uchiha clan would become true!

"Tell me where Naruto is, Father. There's still a chance to turn back."

Itachi couldn't help but press further. The sun was setting.

Although the Uchiha clan planned to launch the coup late at night, there was no guarantee they wouldn't act earlier.

If the Nine-Tails were released in the village, it wouldn't just be a small sacrifice to change the village's structure.

"He's safe."

Facing the two young men, Fugaku had no choice but to admit that Naruto was in their hands.

However, this wasn't Fugaku's idea.

It was just that the clan members were too desperate for fairness.

They were the ones who, alongside the Senju clan, had founded the Hidden Leaf Village.

They should have been honored here.

They should have been the village's heroes.

To change this situation, they were willing to do anything.

Moreover, the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage had already proven that the Sharingan could indeed control the Nine-Tails.

And his Sharingan had evolved into the Mangekyō.

This secret had been buried within him for years, and he hadn't even told his own son.

In fact, on the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage, he had considered using this power to save the village.

"Where is he?"

Haru took a step forward, his voice low.

The situation was no longer just a simple conversation.

Not to mention that Haru saw Naruto as a younger brother.

Perhaps Fugaku was still hesitant, unwilling to use the Nine-Tails' power unless absolutely necessary.

But his clan members had already been blinded by power, fame, and authority.

There was no telling if they would release the Nine-Tails early.

After all, among the clan members, there were many who possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan.

For the first time, Uchiha Itachi also began to panic.

"Father, tell us where Naruto is before this gets out of hand."

As he spoke, Itachi directly activated the Tsukuyomi, attempting to drag his father into a genjutsu world to extract Naruto's location.

However, to Itachi's surprise, his father resisted the genjutsu.

"Itachi, do you think I've only just awakened the Mangekyō?"

Fugaku glanced at Itachi briefly before focusing entirely on Haru.

"Perhaps you truly want to bridge the gap between the Uchiha and the village, but this isn't something that can be achieved with just passion."

"Itachi told me that you've perfectly inherited the power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju."

"In that case, let me see it for myself."

"If you can defeat me, Haru, I'll not only tell you where Naruto Uzumaki is."

"I'll also abandon the coup."

Fugaku took a deep breath and took several steps back.

To ensure that no one would discover his secret, he had already sent all the Uchiha clan members to the Naka Shrine.

No one would notice this place.

He could fight Haru with everything he had!

"In the end, it still comes down to a fight, huh?"

Haru murmured to himself, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

He wasn't like Naruto; he wasn't good at talking things out.

He had been wondering how to convince Fugaku to abandon this foolish plan, but now Fugaku was challenging him directly.

However, this wasn't hard to understand.

The Uchiha clan had always revered strength.

Perhaps Fugaku wanted to believe in Haru but was worried that Haru's strength wasn't enough to change everything.

"I will become Hokage and rewrite the village's prejudice and ostracization of the Uchiha clan."

Haru extended his hand toward Fugaku as he spoke.

"Is that so?"

Fugaku nodded. He wanted to believe Haru, but in the world of shinobi, strength was also a crucial factor.

Every Hokage had been the strongest in the village.

"Itachi, stand down."

Haru's voice was low. He didn't need Itachi's help.

Even if Fugaku possessed the Mangekyō, he was no match for Haru.

Itachi, however, hesitated.

"Do as he says, Itachi," Fugaku quickly added.

No matter what, he didn't want to cross blades with his own son.

As soon as Fugaku finished speaking, a powerful surge of chakra erupted from his body. Visible skeletal structures instantly enveloped him.

Susanoo!
