Naruto: Let's take a look at the blind Uchiha

"Mangekyo?" Feeling Ling's hidden threat, Minato Namikaze's face darkened. "Sorry, I've never heard of this kind of power. Is it the advanced power of the Sharingan?"

"You actually said you've never heard of it—" Ling paused and couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his face, "How peaceful does it have to be for a ninja who is at a high position in the group to have never seen the top power of us Uchiha..."

"Doesn't that just prove that the situation is peaceful?" Uzumaki Yi patted Ling's shoulder, looking helpless. "Under peaceful circumstances, it's normal that no Kaleidoscope suitable for combat is born, right?"

“But this is simply impossible—” Ling raised his head abruptly, the three scarlet magatama in his eye sockets slowly turning, with a vague tendency to merge into one, “There have even been examples in our clan where a failed confession resulted in a Mangekyo. With this kind of unstable mental state, it is impossible for there to be no Mangekyo no matter how peaceful the situation is.

Combined with the information revealed by Mr. Minato and Naruto before, it can only be that after opening their eyes, they chose to conceal it in order to maintain the superficial peace between the clan and Konoha. They don’t have the brains to play tricks, but they still want to gain respect without showing enough strength. These stupid juniors really deserve to be exterminated. Why not just destroy them in my hands first? At least I will collect their bodies properly..."

Uzumaki Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously took a step back, putting some distance between him and the other person. "Well, anyway, calm down first... and if you really do that, your father and your two brothers will be homeless."

"I know, so I'm trying not to get angry here—" Ling took a few deep breaths, clenched his staff and walked out, "I'm going to vent a little, you guys talk first."

Uzumaki Yi watched Ling jump up to the tower window and out of the tower in a few steps. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his chin, "It seems that with eyes, Uchiha's emotions are more easily stimulated..."

"Brother Yi, what you said is very strange," Uzumaki Naruto tilted his head, "As if he is blind?"

"Hmm? That's Ling, right? We should tell him, right?" Uzumaki Yi turned around and looked at Uzumaki Naruto helplessly, "Compared to his death here, in our time, he lost his eyes as the price of that war, but even so, he is still an overly strong opponent!"

"Should we go and support him now?" Namikaze Minato was still worried. "After all, those puppets are endless, and you are not in the most adaptable physical state..."

Uzumaki Yi turned his gaze to Namikaze Minato when he heard that, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at him silently until he made him feel uncomfortable. Then he smiled and asked, "How old is Minato?"

"Huh? Um... I'm twenty years old."

"Like Ling said, Minato should be considered a strong man in Konoha, right?"

"No, I really just—"

"There is no point in being overly modest. Excellent people will always shine!" Uzumaki Yi laughed loudly, "But I can still tell you with certainty that in our era, even on average, ninjas from big families who can live to Minato's age will be as strong as Minato!

Humans are creatures that are changed and grow by the environment. The harsher the environment, the stronger the person will be. Although this sentence may be a bit hurtful, whether it is you in the present or Naruto in the future, your growth rate is much weaker than that of my era!

So even if you all come together, it will not pose any threat to the two of us! However, the space-time ninjutsu that Minato has mastered is very tricky, so if you want to escape, we probably won’t be able to catch you! "

Namikaze Minato: ...This is also a threat, right?

"Oh oh oh! Brother Yi, you are so powerful?! So handsome!"

Uzumaki Yi: ...Is this child stupid?

"Naruto, to be honest, I'm actually very happy that you trust me so much, but ah..." Uzumaki Yi patted Uzumaki Naruto's shoulder with a serious expression, "But this is the first time we met today, and what I said just now was just a warning to you based on my own strength. You shouldn't be happy at all."

Uzumaki Naruto immediately retreated, his face horrified, "Eh?! Was that a threat just now?! Why the hell?!"

Uzumaki Yi couldn't help but turn around after a brief silence, looking at the equally speechless Namikaze Minato, and lowered his voice to the person next to him, "Well, maybe this is a bit rude, but how did your Konoha pass on its legacy to the present? Or do ninjas of the new era not need to pay attention to education at all?"

Minato Namikaze could only respond with an awkward yet polite smile - he had always been at the top of everything when he was a child.

"Who said that! I've been studying in the Ninja School for many years!" Uzumaki Naruto blushed and stammered, "I, I just... I just couldn't study well because of something!"

"Then why don't you study hard?" Uzumaki Yi crossed his arms, looking a little angry. "Learning knowledge is for you to survive better as a ninja in the future. Why are you so irresponsible to yourself?"

"Then there must be someone willing to teach me, right?!"

Uzumaki Yi was stunned by the shouting, but before he could say anything, Uzumaki Naruto turned away and his voice became inaudible, "Sorry... I'll stay alone for a while."

"...Weren't the things in your body sealed in with your consent?"

Uzumaki Naruto paused, without looking back, but his hands hanging at his side clenched into fists, "I don't know. Ever since I can remember, the people in the village have been calling me a demon fox out of disgust. So it's not that I don't want to learn. I... I really try hard to get everyone to accept me."

Uzumaki Yi frowned even more tightly, and after a long sigh, he quickly walked up to Uzumaki Naruto, "I'm sorry, Naruto, I made a rash judgment on you without knowing the situation. In our time, even if my tribesmen were not proficient in sealing techniques, they would ask other tribesmen to seal seals in their bodies as a trump card in battle... Can you please forgive my ignorance?"

Uzumaki Naruto felt a little uncomfortable with Uzumaki Yi's formal attitude, "No, you don't have to apologize, right? After all, I also got angry at Brother Yi casually..."

"An apology is necessary!"

"Uh, well, I, I understand, right?"

"This is not a notice! This is a request!" Uzumaki Yi held Naruto's shoulders firmly and looked into his blue eyes. "You are excellent. Even without much help, you have grown to what you are now. You don't need to suppress your will to cater to the recognition of others! If others don't have goodwill towards your efforts, then you don't have to force yourself to give for them! Do you understand!"

Uzumaki Naruto subconsciously stood up straight, "Yes, yes! I remember it!"

"It's really worrying. I thought the clan was in decline, but then I heard about the extermination. I thought the survivors would be well taken care of, but then I learned that the younger generation was simply used as a vessel. And the Uchiha, in our time, was a mad dog clan that dared to challenge the entire ninja world on its own, but in your place, you are..."

Uzumaki Yi didn't continue talking. He just sighed a little tiredly, looked over Uzumaki Naruto's shoulder and looked at Namikaze Minato with a complicated expression, "Your Konoha is not good enough."
