I am Uncle Uchiha

It was getting late, and Minato and Naruto came from outside Konoha Village.

Naruto held a leaf in his hand, and it broke into pieces in the blink of an eye.

"Still not good" Naruto threw away the leaf stem in his hand impatiently.

"Okay." Minato patted his head, "Don't be in a hurry, let's go home and eat first."

"Damn this, when will I catch up with Sasuke?" Naruto yelled.

"This is how the cultivation of chakra attributes is like this." Minato explained patiently, "The more impatient you are, the slower you will practice."

"Hmph, do it again" Naruto picked up a leaf again.

"Okay." Minato reached out and snatched away the leaves, "You are already very tired from practicing with your shadow clones. Now it's time to rest."

"Got it, Dad."

At the same time, Naruto's stomach rumbled with hunger.

"I'm hungry." He stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, "Let's go eat ramen."

"Okay." Minato agreed with a smile.

The two walked out of the woods and entered the bustling streets of Konoha.

"Yondaime-sama, Naruto." Shikamaru walked over with his hands in his pockets.

"Ah, it's Shikamaru." Naruto waved his hand, "It's really strange, why are you the only one?"

Minato nodded with a smile.

"Is it weird that I'm alone?" Shikamaru understood what Naruto meant, "That guy Choji is in a hurry to go home for dinner."

"That's great. I'm going to eat ramen too." Naruto rubbed his shriveled belly.

"What have you been busy with recently?" Shikamaru looked at Naruto who looked extremely tired.

Naruto said feebly: "Ah, um, I have been practicing recently, using Chadora attributes and other things, using shadow clones to cut leaves."

"what a mess"

Shikamaru wanted to say that although he understood, it was entirely due to his own intelligence rather than Naruto's suffocating language.

咕

Naruto clutched his stomach.

"Okay, let's go eat quickly." Shikamaru waved his hand somewhat unbearably.

Naruto seemed to regain his special energy immediately, grabbing Minato's arm and dragging him to run, "Shikamaru, goodbye"

"It's still so exciting." Shikamaru looked away helplessly, "Sa, I have to go home for dinner."

"Ramen ramen, here I come." Naruto pulled Minato and ran towards Ichiraku Ramen, stopping urgently at the door of the store, "We're here."

He let go of Minato's hand and hurriedly opened the curtain: "Hit uncle with your hands."

"Well" someone happened to be about to come out of the store and was almost hit by Naruto.

"You are"

The young man with black hair and white eyes had two strands of hair hanging down from his temples, looking at Naruto's appearance.

"The fourth generation's son"

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto" Naruto stepped out of the way, "I almost hit you, I'm sorry, uncle"

"Uncle" Hinata Tokuma twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Don't be rude, Naruto." Minato came over, "Long time no see, Tokuma."

"Fourth Generation Sir." Hinata Tokuma bowed quickly and neatly.

"That's too polite." Minato scratched his face in embarrassment, "I'm no longer Hokage."

"Hinata" Naruto looked at Hinata Tokuma's appearance and suddenly asked, "Ah Byakugan, are you a relative of Neji and Hinata?"

"They are not really relatives." Hyuga Tokuma replied in a good-tempered manner, "Although I, Miss Hinata and Neji are all members of the Hyuga clan, they are just like clan members."

"Why aren't they related to Hinata?" Naruto narrowed his eyes in confusion and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Forget it, I don't understand, eating ramen is more important."

He walked directly into the ramen shop: "Uncle Tachibana, I want a big bowl of miso ramen."

"I'm sorry, Naruto, I'm rude." Minato apologized quickly.

"You are speaking too harshly." Hinata Tokuma quickly said it was okay, "Then, I'll take the first step."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Hinata Tokuma turned around, his expression a little complicated for a moment.

Minato turned around and opened the curtain, looking at Naruto who was sitting on a stool and staring at making ramen with his hands, eagerness written all over his body.

This kid

Naruto's behavior just now was indeed a bit rude, but Minato couldn't bear to blame him.

A child who grew up alone and surrounded by malice did not grow up to be cynical. He was already very satisfied.

After finishing their ramen, Minato and his son walked slowly towards home.

"Dad." Naruto looked up at the starry sky, "Why do Hinata and the others have to say something about a caged bird?"

"Yeah" Minato was a little surprised, "Have you been thinking about this just now?"

"Yes, I have always wanted to know why Neji defected with Sasuke." Naruto scratched his head, "So I asked Kakashi-sensei and Sakura."

"Yeah." Minato responded.

"Speaking of which, during the Chunin Exams three years ago, Neji kept angrily talking about caged birds and stuff like that." Naruto suddenly laughed, "It's just that he was too annoying at that time, so I didn't know it too clearly. explain."

"It's clear now" Minato asked a little amused.

"Kakashi-sensei and Sakura explained it clearly to me." Naruto said seriously, "It turns out that caged birds are indeed not a good thing."

"Naruto, you can't just look at the bad side of the caged bird." Minato said with some seriousness, "Perhaps the Hyuga clan's system is indeed cruel, but on the other hand, it also protects the safety of the clan and contributes to the stability and continuation of the clan. It’s played a big role.”

Naruto frowned, "Maybe, but I still don't like it."

"No one will like that kind of thing." Minato patted his head, "Maybe it was a last resort in the beginning. In the cruel ninja world before the establishment of the ninja village, survival was the primary purpose."

"Then why Kakashi-sensei said that there are many people in the Hyuga clan who support the theory of caged birds?" Naruto was very confused. "Now, haven't times changed? If it were me, I would also want to break such rules."

"Although times have changed, the dangers that ninjas encounter are still everywhere. Moreover, when a system has lasted for thousands of years, it will definitely become entrenched, there will be many supporters, and it will be more difficult to change."

Minato explained in a gentle tone.

"People will always get used to something, and even resist change after getting used to it. Whether it is good or bad, change will bring panic to people."

Naruto nodded in confusion, seeming to understand something, but also seeming to understand nothing.

"Although I still don't quite understand." He scratched his head in distress.

"But I think people should take the initiative to accept change, just like the first Hokage established the Leaf Village." His eyes lit up, "If there is no change, wouldn't it be too pitiful?"

Minato smiled with some relief: "You have grown up, Naruto."

"Ah, I used to be just a lazy person." Naruto showed a bright smile on his face, "I have been pursuing change, so I want to become Hokage and gain the recognition of everyone in the village."

"I believe you will become Hokage, Naruto."

"Of course, hahahahaha"
