Chapter 33: A Glimpse of Power
"Whew!"
Uchiha Yuta slowly opened his eyes, exhaling deeply. He had no idea how much time had passed, but one thing was certain—
This power was terrifying.
Truly terrifying.
After unlocking the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he could finally grasp the overwhelming strength that made Whitebeard the world's strongest man. Even Sengoku himself had declared that Whitebeard possessed the power to destroy the world.
And now, that power was his.
Even though it was only 80% unlocked, with his immortal body, he could fully unleash its might.
Buzz!!
As he mused, a faint hum echoed. White energy wrapped around his fists, glowing with an ethereal luminescence.
Click... Click...
The air around him cracked.
Thin, visible fractures spread outward from his clenched fist, splitting reality itself.
"Unbelievable!"
Staring at the cracks in the air, Yuta couldn't help but marvel. This power... it was unlike anything he had ever experienced. The sheer destructive potential made him instinctively relax his grip, and in an instant, the cracks disappeared.
Regaining his composure, he called out:
"System, show me my status panel."
Ding!
[Generating status panel...]
[Status panel generated!]

"Not bad!"
Yuta nodded in satisfaction.
Three months ago, his system refreshed a check-in location within the Hyuga Clan's domain. The reward he obtained was Eight Trigrams Rotation, the Hyuga clan's so-called absolute defense.
Though powerful, it felt unnecessary. His physical prowess was already overwhelming, and this only pushed him further down the path of close-combat dominance.
"Well, whatever. Time to go."
Closing his status panel, Yuta left the Naka Shrine.

Half an Hour Later – Konoha Military Police Force Headquarters
At the entrance, the sound of conversation filled the air.
"Hey, did you hear? The patriarch's wife gave birth to another son!"
"Hahaha! Yeah, his name is Uchiha Sasuke."
"With Itachi already being a genius, it looks like the Uchiha Clan is going to rise even further!"
"The clan is growing stronger, and that's always good news."
Just as Yuta approached, he heard Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Yashiro chatting excitedly. Their joy over Sasuke's birth was evident.
"Oh?"
A casual smile played on Yuta's lips as he listened.
Sasuke Uchiha has been born...
That meant the other members of Konoha's Twelve Young Powerhouses would also be arriving soon.
But more importantly—
The Nine-Tails Rebellion was imminent.
That single event would mark a critical turning point for both the Uchiha Clan and Konoha Village.
And among the many casualties—
Minato Namikaze.
Thinking about it, Yuta felt a pang of regret.
In his opinion, Minato was an exceptional Hokage. Under his leadership, Konoha had thrived, and internal conflicts had eased. He embodied the true Will of Fire—a leader genuinely devoted to the village's prosperity.
But reality was cruel.
The true Will of Fire was powerless before the darkness within Konoha's leadership.
Especially against Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose greed for power remained insatiable.
"What a pity…"
Minato's fate had been sealed from the moment he took office.
Yuta had no intention of being a savior.
Minato's unwavering loyalty to Konoha, his willingness to die for the village—that was his way of the ninja. But what saddened Yuta more was the fate of Minato's unborn son, Naruto Uzumaki.
Used, manipulated, and discarded.
Yet, despite it all, Naruto never succumbed to hatred. Instead, he remained a beacon of hope.
That's just the protagonist's plot armor, I suppose.

Meanwhile – Konoha Hospital
Inside an upscale hospital ward, joyful laughter echoed.
"Haha! Another son!"
Uchiha Fugaku beamed as he cradled his newborn baby, his usually stern face softened by happiness.
Lying on the bed, Uchiha Mikoto smiled warmly. "Let's name him Sasuke Uchiha."
"Sasuke..."
Fugaku nodded, a satisfied expression crossing his face. He gently placed the infant next to Mikoto, admiring his newborn son.
Just then—
Knock, knock.
The door opened, and a man in a white cloak stepped inside. His spiky blond hair and bright blue eyes were unmistakable.
Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage.
"Hokage-sama!"
Fugaku immediately bowed slightly, while Mikoto tried to sit up in greeting.
"No need for formalities."
Minato smiled warmly. "I just came to offer my congratulations."
His gaze softened as he looked at Sasuke. In the tiny newborn, he saw a glimpse of his own unborn child—the one still growing within Kushina's womb.
After a brief chat, Minato stood up. "I won't keep you any longer. There's still much work to do."
With a final smile, he turned and left, his white cloak billowing behind him.
Watching him go, Mikoto sighed. "The Fourth Hokage truly is an exceptional leader."
Fugaku's expression flickered. "Yes... he is."
Standing quietly by the bed, Itachi Uchiha gazed at his newborn brother.
Something stirred in his heart.
Even though he was still young, he made a decision in that moment—
No matter what, he would protect his little brother. Even if it meant sacrificing everything.
