Naruto: The Fifth Hokage Is Naruto's Uncle

After leaving the Hokage Building, Mirai immediately returned to the Uchiha clan district and began mobilization work.

"Are we really going to go to war Mirai?"

Fugaku looked solemn.

Kumogakure declared war with such great fanfare, the number of ninjas invested in this war would definitely not be low.

The current Konoha, whose strength was already sluggish, if it rushed into such a battle, then, the result was difficult to predict.

He was worried that this battle would damage Uchiha's vitality.

"Fugaku, I understand your concerns."

Mirai looked at him with a smile, "Your concerns are valid but you know that it's also an opportunity, don't you?"

"What's more, it's not just you and me who want to join this war."

'Not just you and me?'

There was a trace of confusion in Fugaku's eyes.

When Mirai says that it was 'not just you and me', what does he mean by that?

"Come over here and you will find out."

Mirai led him in one direction.

Fugaku's confusion deepened. 'This direction should be the location of the Uchiha clan's training ground, right?'

'What is the purpose of bringing me here at this time?'

Stepping into the training ground, Fugaku looked at the neatly arranged Uchiha members in the ground, and suddenly stiffened.

"Mirai, this..."

Shock appeared in his eyes.

'When did such a large number of Uchiha members gathered here?'

He saw some familiar faces among them too.

Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inari, Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Setsuna...

He also saw another unexpected person.

"Itachi, why are you here?"

Fugaku asked, still in shock.

"Father, I have decided to accompany sensei to the front-line."

"But this..."

"Father, you don't need to persuade me otherwise, I have already made my decision."

Itachi's eyes were determined.

Sighing, Fugaku was no longer going to try to persuade him. He knew that with Itachi's character, he would never change once a decision was made by him.

Setsuna's eagle-like eyes locked onto Fugaku.

"Fugaku, haven't you noticed the fire in the eyes of these clansmen?"

Fugaku paused and glanced at the Uchiha members behind Itachi.

Their pair of eyes seemed to contain something akin to fire burning brightly, ready to burn their targets to ash.

"Fugaku, as the clan leader, you have always suppressed the inherent pride of the Uchiha clansmen."

Mirai's calm voice came from behind.

"But you have ignored that as an Uchiha, the pride engraved in the blood cannot be trampled on."

"Hiruzen's suppression, the high-level's exclusion, the villagers' discrimination...all of this has been simmering Uchiha's anger. They need to vent."

Saying so, Mirai took a deep breath.

"Uchiha members! Let's fight! Let's restore the glory of the Uchiha!"

The eyes of the Uchiha clansmen on the training ground immediately glowed red and the air became heavy.

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire training ground.

"For the glory of the Uchiha! Tatakae! Tatakae!"

"Tatakae! Tatakae…"

This passionate roar made Fugaku's blood also boil, and he also instinctively activated his Sharingan.

Only now did he understood the meaning of Mirai's previous words.

'As the clan leader, I actually didn't even understand my own clan members as well as Mirai.'

This battle was an opportunity for the Uchiha clan not to only regain their glory but also to vent all the injustice they suffered.

Fugaku, who was in a state of self-realization, met Mirai's serious eyes.

"Fugaku, I need you to do me a favor."

Fugaku's eyes turned sharp.

"You just say it, Mirai."

This was the first time he saw Mirai with such an expression. He knew that if it was not a very important matter, Mirai would never ask him with this kind of expression.

"There is a list here. I need you to find every person whose name is on the list."

After receiving the list handed over by Mirai and looking at the names on the list, Fugaku's pupils trembled slightly and he asked with a low voice.

"Mirai, these are all..."

"They are all my and Minato's former subordinates."

A proud smile appeared in Mirai's blue eyes.

"These people have accompanied Minato and me in our battles in Third Great Ninja War. Now, it's time to bring them back."

Fugaku looked at the names on the list. Among them were many known ninjas.

Since Mirai disappeared and Minato died, many of these ninjas had gradually disappeared from lime-light.

'Now, Mirai is finally bringing them back on to the stage?'

This thin piece of paper suddenly became an extremely heavy responsibility in Fugaku's hands.

"Don't worry, Mirai, I will get them back one by one, not leaving any one out."

Fugaku solemnly accepted the piece of paper.

…

At the gate of Konoha, Shiranui Genma was holding a senbon in his mouth, leaning against the wall with his hands behind his head.

"Boring, it's really boring."

Repeating the same thing day after day, looking at the unchanging scenery outside the Konoha wall, Genma felt that his bones were about to loosen, and his whole body seemed to be rotting from the depths of his soul.

"To think I, Shiranui Genma, once had a glorious time, only to be reduced to this…"

Somehow, things from the past still couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Whenever Genma remembers them, he gets filled with emotion.

Back then, as the Fourth Hokage's Shadow Guard, what kind of glory did he had?

Even his entire clan was proud of him.

Thanks to the Minato's protection, the Shiranui clan might have rose from a small clan to become a strong clan in Konoha.

But, who could have imagined that something like that would happen.

Genma's eyes dimmed.

During the Nine-Tails Riot, the Fourth Hokage and his wife died, and his younger brother had also disappeared.

The enviable Namikaze brothers disappeared almost simultaneously.

The Third Hokage came back to power, and the subordinates who were loyal to Minato and Mirai were no longer utilized and were gradually marginalized.

'Politics is so cruel.'

Genma couldn't help but feel sentimental.

"I wonder how Raido and others are doing."

Suddenly, Genma noticed someone approaching, and immediately made a defensive posture, staring at the approaching person.

A very conspicuous fan clan symbol came into his view.

'An Uchiha?'

"Shiranui Genma, do you want to continue to rot, or go crazy!"

"What's the meaning?"

Genma held his breath.

"He needs you once again."

Genmai pupils suddenly shrank.

'Could it be…?'

Tatami Iwashi, fiddling with his goatee, was lying on his bed with a sad face. He had not received any good tasks in the past half month.

If this continued, the next month would be a big problem for him.

Just when he was bored thinking about answers, there was a knock on his door.

Surprised, Iwashi opened the door.

It was an unfamiliar Uchiha face.

"Tatami Iwashi, he needs you once again."

Almost at the same time, the same scene happened in many places in Konoha.

Mirai and Minato's old subordinates finally received the call after three years.

"It's won't the same anymore, he is back, and needs you once again."

"Inuzuka Koto, he needs you..."

"Aburame Nobuko, Mirai-sama has called for you..."
