The Crimson Uchiha

Hokage-sama? It is you? But what are you doing here? Asked me a question, Naruto. I just wanted to hug him quietly so as not to cause his already wounded body even more pain. And apologize and admit it. That I'm his father. I wanted to return him to his family right now. But still, I decided not to do this, due to the fact that I had no idea how he would react to it. Maybe he will hate me completely, and because of a sudden outburst. Hatred, the fox will free himself from Naruto's body. And besides, I didn’t know how Kushina would react to this. She and I never talked about Naruto. Trying not to think about it, and besides, how will the villagers react to all this? Maybe they will decide that our new children are brother and sister.... Demona. With great dislike, I said the last word to myself. Who knows, maybe the whole village will start to hate our new children. And just a banal fear of the unknown. Didn't let me tell Naruto the whole truth. I decided to answer his question, yes, I am the Yodaime Hokage. And that I am here to look after Naruto so that nothing happens to him. “But why didn’t you follow me before?” Naruto said quietly, with obvious sadness. - Hah. Well, you know. I'm still Hokage. And so I have to keep an eye on the entire village. This is my job. Ahh... Why are you asking me? - I answered the boy’s simple question, but still I felt there was a catch. “Why didn’t you keep a good eye on the village then?” Why is everyone beating me and trying to kill me! - Naruto squeezed out, breaking into a scream. I was very surprised by this and asked how long they had been beating him? To which he replied something that shocked me. They started beating Naruto as soon as he stopped living in the orphanage. Naturally, my anger knew no bounds. ANBU throughout his life, not only did they not follow him. They also ignored all his beatings. - Hokage... Do you see someone living in me? “Naruto asked me with obvious fear. To which I was naturally shocked, because apparently Naruto already knows about the Kyuubi and may have seen it. “Why are you asking me, Naruto?” I asked again. “Today I found myself in some kind of cave, or sewer, and there was a huge cage in which there was a huge fox. - Naruto answered me, not hiding his fear. - Y.yes.... Naruto, you really are the Jinchuuriki of the 9th Tail Fox.... But that doesn’t mean that you’re a monster and never have been. I would like the villagers to consider you a hero and not a monster. And I'm sorry that my ANBU didn't follow you... I'll definitely deal with them. - Somehow I squeezed it out of myself, and could not withstand the blow of my conscience. I stood up and left the room, saying goodbye to Naruto at the same time. I decided to head to the Uchiha quarter to ask Fugaku to accept Naruto into his clan. After all, if it so happens that Naruto is an Uchiha, then he will live calmer and, most importantly, safer with his own people. And besides, the fact that the Uchihas treated Naruto quite normally played no small role. And now the main thing for me is to place Naruto somewhere where nothing will threaten him. Because trusting your ANBU does not respect yourself. Although I stopped respecting myself as soon as I entered Naruto’s room and ran away from it like a coward.... Having reached the gates of the Uchiha clan. I walked into it as if nothing had happened; I hadn’t been here for a couple of years. But I haven’t forgotten where my friend lives. Walking there I met a black-haired girl about the same age as Naruto, I recognized this girl as Itachi! I approached her and said hello, and immediately asked where her father was now, to which she said, at home. I was overjoyed and only quickened my pace towards my goal. And reaching the house of the head of the Uchiha clan. I knocked on the door, and after about 20 seconds Mikoto opened the door. “Hello Hokage-Sama, do you need something?” the wife of the head of the Uchiha clan and also a close friend of my wife asked me questioningly. - Hello Mikoto. “I came to Fugaku on business.” I snapped. - Well then, come on in. He is in his office. “Mikoto answered me and pointed in the direction where Fugaku’s office is located. I knocked on the door, and hearing you come in, I entered the office, and Fugaku, seeing me, stood up and greeted me, simultaneously calling me Hokage-sama, I only asked to abandon the formalities and sat down on one of his chairs. - Fugaku. My friend, I came to you not as Hokage, but as a friend. I discovered that the child is not from your clan, awakened the Sharingan, and I would like you to accept him into the clan. I’ll say right away that he is a Jinchuriki. - I asked Fugaku. - Are you saying that the Jinchuriki, who is Uzumaki, took and awakened the Sharingan like this? Well, if that’s the case, then of course I’ll accept it. But let’s just see how the rest of Konoha’s clans and its council will react to this. Do you know. Few people trust our clan. — Fugaku answered and asked me. To which I replied that if I take it off, I’ll figure it out. Fugaku's POV. I sat in my office and thought about this Jinchuriki. Sending him to the clan shelter is not an option. Akama wouldn't let something happen there that would cause the fox's chakra to be released. The best option was to ask someone to shelter him. And perhaps I already have a person for this role. I got up and headed into the house, Yuji Uchiha. I know him quite well. Since he was my comrade in arms during the Third World War. And he was also my commander, since I became the Head of the clan only when my father died in the war, 7 months before its end. I knew that he was an orphan from birth. He didn't really have any friends. There are mainly two Chunin unin from the Yamanaka clan and one merchant from the Akimichi clan. They were the ones he could truly call friends. Yuuji has always been very calm, and he always kept his head cool. This allowed him to weigh the situation, even in the most critical situations. Which made him the commander of the entire company that I was then part of, as far as I knew. Yuuji had no hatred or animosity towards the Jinchuriki, which made him an ideal choice as a caretaker. I reached his house. It was made of wood and had 2 floors. It was an average size house. I knocked on the door and after 40-50 seconds the door was opened for me by a tall black-haired man. The first thing that caught your eye was the absence of his right hand. He lost it during the war. But he compensates for it with his Mangeko Sharingan. As you know, the Mangeko Sharingan has only 3 abilities. The first ability is Sunano, every Mangeko Sharingan has it. And two more random ones. For example, such as Amaterasu or Tsikuyemi. Yuji didn't have Susano for unknown reasons, but he did have two random abilities. His first ability was called Susano armor. It was turquoise colored armor that was human size and protected the entire body. It could also temporarily become any limb that Yuji actively used. His second ability was literally the eternal Mangekō Sharingan. It is not clear why, but when he awakened his Mangeko Sharingan, it immediately turned into the eternal Mangeko Sharingan. - Hello, Yuji-san - I greeted my former commander. - Fugaku? What brought you here? - He asked me his question. “We need to talk,” I answered again. “Well then, come in,” moving away from the doorway, he let me in. We went into his living room and I sat down on the sofa and began to talk. - Yuji, tell me. How do you feel about the Jinchuriki? - I decided to quietly start the topic while weighing the pros and cons. - No way. I don't care about them. “They personally didn’t do anything to me to make me love or hate them.” Yuji answered, simultaneously taking out two machines and placing them on the table, then Yuji went to the kitchen and took a bottle of expensive cognac in his hand, and putting it on the table, Kunaem pulled out the cork from the bottle and began to pour this drink. - Well, it turned out that the Jinchuuriki is an Uchiha. — I said while looking at Yuja’s reaction. But he was simply surprised but did not say anything. - The Hokage asked me to accept the Jinchuriki into the clan. I agreed, but you yourself understand that placing him in a clan shelter is dangerous. And I would like you to take him under your wing.” Having finished everything, I emptied the glass in one gulp. - Why me? “He asked a very predictable question. - Because among the entire clan, you are the only one who has the eternal Mangeko Sharingan, and your chakra reserve is almost the same as the average chakra reserve of an Uzumaki. So if suddenly the fox’s chakra comes out, or worse, the fox starts to get out, then you will be able to calm the fox down without any problems. I hope for your agreement.” I finished my speech and looked into Yuji’s eyes. - Hah, well. Then tell me where the Jinchuriki is now. — Yuji gave his consent, simultaneously finding out where the Jinchuriki was. - Honestly. I don't know myself. I'll have to go to the Hokage and find out from him. - I answered. Scratching the back of my head. - What. Then I’ll go to the Hokage myself.” Yuji stated. **After some time** Yuji stood at the Hokage's door, and after knocking on it and not waiting for an answer, Yuji opened the door. - Who are you? - Minato asked his question looking at Yuji. Yuuji said with a chuckle. “I am the new caretaker of the Jinchuriki.” Minato felt uneasy, but nevertheless he answered. - So it was you who was appointed as a caretaker for the Jinchuriki. What do you want to know? - Minato asked Yuuji. “Well, for starters, I would like to know his name and how old he is,” Yuji answered Minato’s question without betraying any emotions. “Well, he’s 6 years old, and his name is Naruto Uzu...” Yuji didn’t let him finish. - Naruto Uchiha means, hmm, where is he now? — Yuji began asking questions again. - He is now in the hospital, in room 213, all the necessary documents will be ready only by tomorrow. - Minato finished his dialogue. And Yuji, without saying anything, simply left. Minato leaned back on his chair and involuntarily smiled. "Naruto is safe now," he thought to himself. Naruto's POV. 8 days have already passed, during which time I have fully recovered. All my bruises and bones were completely restored thanks to the fox. I decided to come to my house as soon as possible. Hoping to avoid the wrath of the Konokhovites. Coming out of the room, I saw Yodaime Hokage. I was very surprised because during all these 8 days I had never seen him. But then I asked him what he was doing here anyway. To which he replied as follows — Naruto has to tell you that you are now officially an Uchiha. And now you will live in the Uchiha quarter, under the supervision of Yuji Uchiha. Well, now Yuji is waiting for you at the exit of the hospital. - Said the Hokage, a spark of hope burning in his eyes. I just didn’t understand what he was hoping for. In principle, I didn’t need to know what he was thinking. The main thing for me is that he is a good person, and he is one of the few who treat me well. I am sure that this person will never betray me. But as soon as I thought about it, fear immediately took over me. What if this Yuji is a very bad person and he wants to adopt me just to beat me every day and mock me in every possible way. And the Hokage seeing my doubts and fear in my eyes. He decided to take me to Yuji. After which he took me by the hand and walked down the corridor towards the exit from the hospital. - Naruto. You know that you will need to train a lot to become stronger? - the Hokage asked me a question. To which I quickly responded. - Yes. I know who you take me for? - I was perplexed. - Just the Fox that lives in you. He is very strong and dangerous. This means that you must be as strong as the fox, so Yuji will train you.” The Hokage said looking at me. - I know it. And so I will become a very strong ninja and surpass you and become the fifth Hokage! - I said joyfully. The Hokage was a little surprised, but still smiled at me. - What. In that case, I’ll wait until you become strong enough for me to give you my hat.” Minato said, ruffling my hair at the same time. Well, by the time our conversation was coming to an end, we had already reached the exit from the hospital. And through the doorway I saw a Black-haired man with one arm. Who stood and waited for me. And behind him could be seen the red sun, which was already beginning to set. I don’t know if he was so lucky that Yuji ended up in the exact place where the Sun was behind him. Or maybe he himself decided to stand up in such a way that the meeting with him would be pretentious. But in any case, it looked impressive. - Hello Naruto Uchiha. Now I am your caretaker and you are now an Uchiha, so you will live in the Uchiha quarter, and you will live like an Uchiha.
