The second pillar of the Uchiha clan rushed toward Naruto in anger.
This time, he didn't greet him—he attacked directly with a punch.
Sasuke, who had just returned home happily, saw his father…
his Sharingan gone, his eyes wrapped in bandages.
No matter how much he asked, Fugaku said nothing.
Only after hearing the clan members talk…
did Sasuke realize the truth.
His father had been forced to give his Sharingan to Naruto.
This made him explode with anger.
Naruto looked at Sasuke running toward him and smirked.
"Looks like life in the academy made you forget fear."
He raised one hand casually.
Sasuke's punch was pushed aside instantly.
Then Naruto pressed him to the ground with one hand.
"Let me go! Give back my father's eyes!!"
Sasuke struggled desperately.
But how could he compete with Naruto,
who trained with the Eight Inner Gates?
Naruto chuckled and took out the Sharingan.
He held them in front of Sasuke's eyes… just out of reach.
"You want them back?"
"Your strength is too weak."
"Get angry… only then can you gain power."
His cold voice echoed in Sasuke's ears.
Sasuke's face twisted with hatred.
His pupils shrank sharply.
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly…
watching if Sasuke would awaken something.
Suddenly—
Several kunai fell from the sky.
Naruto flipped back and dodged easily.
On the roof stood a masked ANBU…
a cat mask.
"Onii-chan!"
Sasuke shouted excitedly.
Even with the mask… he recognized him.
"Give back my father's eyes! He stole them!!"
Sasuke pointed at Naruto.
Itachi said nothing.
He only looked at Naruto silently.
Naruto raised the Mangekyō and smiled.
"What? You want them?"
Without a word—
Itachi grabbed Sasuke and disappeared instantly.
Naruto scratched his nose.
"…This is getting ridiculous."
At that moment, Tenten's father came out.
"This is your payment."
"7.98 million… let's round it to 8 million."
He handed Naruto a silver ticket.
Naruto took it and left.
Soon after
Naruto bought a large house with a yard.
Around 1000 square meters… near the Hyuga clan.
He nodded in satisfaction.
Then he went directly to the mission office.
"Naruto? Why are you here?"
Hiruzen looked at him in surprise.
"Isn't your team on break?"
Naruto threw a stack of money onto the table.
"1 million ryo. Give me an S-rank mission."
"I just bought a house. I need a barrier."
"And issue a D-rank mission too… cleaning and housework."
Hiruzen stared at the money in shock.
"Where did you get this?"
Naruto replied calmly:
"That's not your concern."
"And don't send trash missions."
"I want a barrier… so even the Hokage can't enter."
Hiruzen's face darkened.
This was clearly a warning to him.
Naruto turned and left without waiting.
A staff member asked nervously:
"Hokage-sama… what about the mission?"
"Accept it!"
Hiruzen said angrily.
"You think he won't find someone else?"
At that moment, a voice came from the door.
"Heh… the great Hokage being humiliated by a brat."
Danzo walked in slowly.
"I told you… give me the Nine-Tails."
"I would turn it into a weapon."
Hiruzen snorted coldly.
"You came just to say that?"
Danzo replied calmly:
"The Uchiha coup is coming."
"We should strike first."
Hiruzen fell into deep thought.
Fugaku giving his eyes to Naruto…
What did it mean?
The only answer was—
the Uchiha didn't want to rebel anymore.
If Fugaku lost his power…
a coup made no sense.
Hiruzen felt excited.
If he could control the Uchiha through Fugaku…
no one could threaten his rule.
He stroked his chin and said:
"I don't think conflict is inevitable anymore."
Danzo froze for a moment.
Then his eyes turned cold.
"You're naive… old fool."
"This is the perfect chance."
"We create a new patrol force…"
"Disband the Uchiha police and weaken them."
Hiruzen shook his head.
"No."
"That will only provoke them."
"We should trust them… give them more responsibility."
Danzo looked at him with contempt.
Still the same weak Hokage.
But something felt off…
Where was Shisui's Sharingan?
Meanwhile
Naruto suddenly sneezed in his office.
"Hm… which girl is thinking about me now?"
He looked at the Sharingan in his hand.
From tomorrow…
he would finally stop being a one-eyed dragon.
