Today, Sasuke was quite happy. After all, both his brother and Akira came together to pick him up from school. Seeing Sasuke's cheerful expression, Uchiha Akira couldn't help but smile as well.
At the same time, he felt a bit envious.
Look at us, all the same age, yet here I am, working tirelessly for the future of the Uchiha clan. And Sasuke? He's still just an innocent child attending classes at the ninja academy.
Sigh, I'm only seven years old too. I shouldn't have to carry all these burdens...
Shaking his head slightly, Akira pushed these chaotic thoughts out of his mind and greeted Sasuke warmly.
Soon, the three of them turned to head back to the Uchiha clan's compound.
"Wait up, show-off Sasuke!" A childish voice suddenly called out.
A boy, around six or seven years old, came running up to them. He had short blonde hair and bright blue eyes that resembled the ocean.
Akira immediately recognized him: it was Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist of the original story.
Hearing a classmate calling out to Sasuke, Itachi and the others naturally stopped.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked, not too pleased about his joyful moment being interrupted.
"I'm definitely going to beat you one day!" Naruto shouted, clenching his little fists tightly.
"Hmph!" Sasuke scoffed, his face showing clear disdain. He didn't even try to hide his contempt.
"Akira, do you know this kid?" Itachi, always observant, noticed the slight change in Akira's expression when he saw Naruto. Curious, he asked the question.
"Yeah, I know him," Akira replied with a nod.
"Is it because of the present, or something about the future?" Itachi continued to probe.
Currently, Naruto was known as the "Nine-Tails Demon Fox" in the village, a title that made him despised by many. He was already somewhat of a household name, but Itachi didn't think that alone would be enough for Akira to pay him any special attention.
"It's about the future. His potential is limitless," Akira answered after a brief pause.
"How does he compare to Sasuke?" Itachi asked, intrigued by Akira's high praise.
"It's like the legendary relationship between Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage," Akira gave a fitting comparison.
Yes, just like Madara and the First Hokage—one being the reincarnation of Indra, the other of Asura. In this generation, Sasuke was the reincarnation of Indra, and Naruto of Asura.
It was the perfect way to describe the dynamic between Sasuke and Naruto.
"Oh?" Itachi was surprised by this statement.
Previously, Akira had confidently declared Sasuke's talent to be the greatest in the ninja world. And now, he was likening the relationship between Sasuke and Naruto to that of Madara and the First Hokage?
In that case, who would be the Madara in this scenario? Naturally, it would be Sasuke. But could this blond boy, Naruto, really be comparable to the First Hokage?
Was this prediction truly accurate?
"Do you know what made the First Hokage the strongest?" Akira then asked Itachi.
"His Wood Style ninjutsu?" Itachi guessed.
Indeed, the First Hokage's Wood Style was unique to him, and it was with this technique that he dominated the ninja world.
"No, that's not it," Akira shook his head.
"Then, is it his Sage Body? It's said that the First Hokage had an incredibly strong physique, capable of healing from any wound almost instantly," Itachi pondered and offered another guess.
"Still no," Akira shook his head again.
"Then I'm not sure," Itachi admitted, confused. After all, the First Hokage's strength was widely known to come from his Wood Style and his Sage Body. He had never heard of any particular strategic genius being attributed to the First Hokage.
"The First Hokage's true strength was in his 'Talk no Jutsu,'" Akira said.
"Talk no Jutsu?" Itachi was baffled.
He knew of the five elemental releases and even special releases like Lava, Magnet, Storm, and Dust, but what on earth was Talk no jutsu?
"It's the ability to persuade others, to make them believe in him," Akira explained.
Starting from Asura and continuing with his later reincarnations, this was a defining characteristic.
Think about it, in the original story, Madara had a stronger brother complex than even Itachi. But in the end, after the First Hokage used his Talk no jutsu, Madara willingly knelt down and helped him establish the Hidden Leaf Village.
"I see!" Itachi finally understood.
"So, Naruto Uzumaki possesses a similar power—an incredibly strong Talk no Jutsu."
"In the ninja world, there's almost no one who can resist it," Akira concluded with a nod.
It's safe to say that Naruto Uzumaki's "mouth technique" is truly powerful!
It's practically an unstoppable force, so much so that fans in the real world have jokingly referred to it as "Betsu-Ten-Mouth," showcasing just how impressive it is.
Take Gaara, for instance—a deeply troubled youth whose psyche had been severely twisted. But once "Betsu-Ten-Mouth" was unleashed, he quickly transformed into a bright and loving Kazekage!
Then there's Nagato, who created the Akatsuki organization and wielded the Rinnegan, making him a top-tier villain. With one Almighty Push, he decimated most of the Leaf Village.
But what happened next? Under the influence of Naruto's "Betsu-Ten-Mouth," Nagato immediately turned over a new leaf, sacrificing his life to resurrect everyone he had killed.
And let's not forget Uchiha Obito, another formidable antagonist and even the murderer of Naruto's parents. What happened to him? He also succumbed to "Betsu-Ten-Mouth."
Not only did Obito help fight against Madara and Kaguya, but even after death, he sent his Sharingan from the afterlife to help Kakashi activate the Susanoo.
Look at the Nine-Tails too! Even it couldn't resist and ended up as Naruto's tool, or rather, his tool-fox!
So in many ways, Naruto's "Betsu-Ten-Mouth" is even more potent than Shisui's "Betsu-Ten-Shin."
If I had that kind of "Betsu-Ten-Mouth," there wouldn't be any need to worry about the Uchiha massacre night at all!
"Betsu-Ten-Mouth?" Itachi's mouth twitched slightly.
He was well aware of Shisui's "Betsu-Ten-Shin."
Now, hearing Akira refer to Naruto's talk-no-jutsu as "Betsu-Ten-Mouth," Itachi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Still, Itachi found himself paying more attention to Naruto after hearing Akira's description.
Seeing the interaction between Sasuke and Naruto, Itachi silently nodded to himself. No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a bad thing.
"What were you and big brother talking about?" Sasuke asked curiously on the way back to the Uchiha compound, looking at Akira and Itachi.
"We were talking about Naruto Uzumaki. You two seem to be getting along quite well," Akira replied with a smile.
"Not really. That guy's just the class clown who won't stop pestering me. We're not that close!" Sasuke quickly shook his head in denial.
Watching Sasuke's reaction, Akira couldn't help but chuckle.
From the entangled fate of Indra and Asura, every time they reincarnate, these two brothers are bound to both love and battle each other.
It's destiny—there's no escaping it.
After returning home, Akira resumed his life simulation, focusing on training in the Eight Gates technique.
As for Itachi, he headed back to the Hokage's office to report.
It was confirmed that Akira's ability to predict the future was real.
However, this prediction wasn't something that could be controlled at will. It was random.
"Understood. Thank you for your efforts, Itachi. This ability is very important to the village. Perhaps it could even help resolve the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan," the Third Hokage said, puffing on his pipe and nodding with apparent enthusiasm.
Itachi was touched by the Third Hokage's words. The Hokage wanted to use Akira's prediction ability to resolve the Uchiha clan's conflict with the village.
Itachi felt a glimmer of hope.
Could this really be possible?
Akira had mentioned that his predictions were only possibilities, not certainties. They could be changed.
If Akira predicted that Itachi might end up wiping out the Uchiha clan, then surely that outcome could be altered as well.
Once Itachi finished his report, the Third Hokage dismissed him with a wave, and Itachi left the office.
The Third Hokage then called an Anbu member and instructed him to summon Akira to the Hokage's office.
The masked Anbu quickly departed.
"The Third Hokage wants to see me? Alright, I'll go right away!" Akira nodded when the Anbu delivered the message, not at all surprised.
Since Itachi was ordered by the Third Hokage to investigate his prediction ability, it made sense that the Hokage would want to meet him once it was confirmed.
"Be careful, my grandson!" the elderly Uchiha reminded him, a bit worried as he watched Akira prepare to leave.
After all, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village had almost completely broken down.
"Don't worry, Grandpa!" Akira replied with a smile, not feeling overly concerned.
Although Akira viewed the Third Hokage as a hypocrite, he was still a hypocrite who needed to maintain his image of kindness and benevolence.
Therefore, there was no way the Third Hokage would make a move against him.
