Chapter 1

Land of Whirlpools, Hidden Whirlpool Village.

The sea breeze gently blew, and the sunset on the horizon was like a blazing fire. Waves surged onto the beach and quickly retreated.

Two small figures sat side by side, toes curled, gazing into the distance.

"Akado, what is your dream?"

"To be a gourmet, Jūshinai-nee, what about you?"

"I want to become a great ninja, to protect the village and protect Akado."

"Alright, but you should be careful of someone in the future. His name is Minato Namikaze."

...

The scenes of memory flashed rapidly through Hanadō Uzumaki's mind. He had been in this ninja world for twenty years, and at that time, he was just a newborn baby.

He was born in the Hidden Whirlpool Village of the Land of Whirlpools, with the red hair characteristic of the Uzumaki clan.

Childhood was a happy time, but the person who spent the most time with him was not his parents, but his older sister, Jūshinai Uzumaki.

Jūshinai was not his biological sister, but rather a cousin.

When he was four years old, the Hidden Whirlpool Village was attacked and destroyed, and his parents died in battle.

The Land of Whirlpools was subsequently destroyed.

Fortunately, he and his sister Jūshinai, along with a few surviving clan members, were relocated to Konoha.

In Konoha, he attended the Ninja Academy but did not pass the genin exam. It was not because he lacked the ability, but because he deliberately chose not to.

In fact, he was very strong!

Since coming to this ninja world, he activated the ninjutsu development system. At the age of three, he awakened the Sharingan, mastered the Uzumaki clan's strongest sealing technique at six, activated Sage Mode at nine, and had chakra comparable to a tailed beast at twelve...

Now, his strength was on par with Kage-level ninjas.

However, in the eyes of others, he was just an ordinary person with no ninja talent.

He chose to stay low, and his purpose was simple: he did not want to draw too much attention. As a member of the Uzumaki clan, being too outstanding could cause unnecessary trouble. This ninja world was dangerous, with madmen researching and developing human ninjutsu and villains who wanted to destroy Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

So, before he had enough strength to ensure his safety, he chose to stay low.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, a loud roar broke the tranquility outside Konoha.

A giant red fox with a terrifying chakra aura suddenly appeared.

The Nine-Tails!

The fox had nine tails, making it the strongest of the nine tailed beasts.

The Nine-Tails rapidly approached Konoha.

The Konoha ninjas, shocked, spontaneously gathered to face the Nine-Tails.

The battle soon erupted.

Hanadō Uzumaki watched from a distance. He did not join the battle but quickly moved in another direction, wearing a mask similar to that of an ANBU ninja.

His target was not the Nine-Tails but his sister, Jūshinai Uzumaki.

According to the plot of the anime, the final outcome of the Nine-Tails' attack was the sacrifice of both Jūshinai and Minato Namikaze. He now wanted to save his sister, Jūshinai.

For his sister, Jūshinai, he had to act!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The battle between the Nine-Tails and the Konoha ninjas was intense.

To protect Konoha and their loved ones, the Konoha ninjas fought one after another.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, soon appeared on the battlefield. He had just defeated the masked man (Tobi) and used the contract seal to break the masked man's control over the Nine-Tails.

The Nine-Tails' strength was extraordinary. Even with the combined efforts of the Third and Fourth Hokages and numerous Konoha ninjas, it still unleashed devastating power.

Many buildings were reduced to ruins under the fox's attacks.

Hanadō Uzumaki had already moved away from the Nine-Tails' battlefield, his gaze fixed on a nearby house.

Inside the house, Jūshinai was very weak. The Nine-Tails had been extracted from her by the masked man, but as a member of the Uzumaki clan with a powerful life force, she did not die.

Beside her was her newborn son, Naruto Uzumaki!

Hanadō Uzumaki did not hesitate and walked toward the house.

However, just as he stepped into the house, the Nine-Tails' figure suddenly appeared in the air, along with the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"Boom..."

A loud explosion!

The house instantly turned to ruins under the powerful shockwave.

However, Minato Namikaze immediately protected his wife, Jūshinai, and their son, Naruto.

The Nine-Tails' hateful gaze quickly locked onto Minato Namikaze, and it immediately launched an attack.

Adamantine Seal!

At the moment the Nine-Tails attacked, a figure stepped in front of Minato Namikaze and Jūshinai, immediately activating the sealing technique—Adamantine Seal.

The figure was none other than Hanadō Uzumaki.

Golden chains burst from behind Hanadō Uzumaki and quickly wrapped around the Nine-Tails.

Minato Namikaze and Jūshinai were greatly surprised, especially Jūshinai. The Adamantine Seal was a sealing technique that only those with pure Uzumaki blood could use.

An Uzumaki clan member?

Jūshinai had planned to use her remaining chakra to activate the Adamantine Seal to help her husband, Minato Namikaze, control the Nine-Tails, but someone had beaten her to it.

"Roar..."

The Nine-Tails, trapped by the Adamantine Seal, struggled fiercely and roared.

"It seems you're still not being honest!"

Hanadō Uzumaki, watching the struggling Nine-Tails, frowned and formed hand seals.

Mythical Gate!

In the next moment, several red torii gates descended from the sky and pressed down on the Nine-Tails.

The Nine-Tails, which had been struggling fiercely, was almost instantly pinned to the ground by the Mythical Gates.

Hanadō Uzumaki used a powerful sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, which could directly seal a tailed beast's chakra.

Although the Nine-Tails was still roaring, it no longer posed a threat.

Jūshinai looked at Hanadō Uzumaki, her emotions fluctuating. The Mythical Gate was also a sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, and its power was much greater than the Adamantine Seal. Even before the clan's destruction, only a few could use the Mythical Gate.

Minato Namikaze was also surprised, but more so with joy.

He had brought the Nine-Tails here with the intention of dying, planning to take it down with him. He never expected someone to come to his aid at this critical moment and subdue the Nine-Tails so decisively.

Jūshinai asked, "Who are you?"

Based on the Adamantine Seal and the Mythical Gate, she could almost certainly determine that the person in front of her was a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Hanadō Uzumaki turned to Jūshinai and removed his mask.

"Long time no see, Jūshinai-nee!"

"Akado!"

Jūshinai, seeing the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, was greatly surprised. The person in front of her was her younger brother, Hanadō Uzumaki, whom she had not seen for over three years!

After the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, she and her younger brother, Hanadō Uzumaki, were eventually sent to Konoha.

Her brother, Hanadō, had no ninja talent, but he had always pursued his dream of becoming a gourmet. Three years ago, he left Konoha, saying he wanted to travel the lands and taste all the delicious foods.

She never expected that when they met again, her brother would have the strength to subdue the Nine-Tails!

Minato Namikaze was also surprised. He and Hanadō Uzumaki were old acquaintances, and he never expected the gourmet to return and use such a powerful sealing technique to subdue the Nine-Tails.

Hanadō Uzumaki nodded. "Jūshinai-nee, the Nine-Tails needs to be sealed. It is very powerful. I will seal part of its chakra in my body first, then divide it into two parts. One part will be sealed back in your body to save your life, and the other part will be a gift for my nephew."

Before this, Hanadō Uzumaki had already planned to reseal half of the Nine-Tails in his sister's body to save her life. Although she had not died after the Nine-Tails was extracted, it was only temporary, and she needed the Nine-Tails' power to survive. The other half would be sealed in Naruto's body, a hope for his nephew.

This was also for the future, as their future enemies would be Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki!

He did not give Minato Namikaze and Jūshinai the chance to refuse and immediately began the sealing.

First, he used the Adamantine Seal to extract part of the Nine-Tails' chakra and seal it in his body.

Extracting the Nine-Tails' chakra was for research. The ninjutsu development system in his body could study various types of chakra and develop corresponding techniques.

Next, Hanadō Uzumaki divided the Nine-Tails into the Yin and Yang Nine-Tails and used the Eight Trigrams Seal to seal them in Jūshinai and Naruto, respectively.

Receiving the Nine-Tails again, Jūshinai recovered significantly.

Minato Namikaze did not stop him. He had originally intended to die, but now his wife and son were safe, and the Nine-Tails was only divided and sealed.

This was already a perfect outcome!

Hanadō Uzumaki completed the Eight Trigrams Seal and looked at Minato Namikaze. "Fourth Hokage, I have a request."

Minato Namikaze's expression changed. "What request?"

Hanadō Uzumaki: "Please keep my involvement tonight a secret."

Although he now had strength on par with Kage-level ninjas, he still did not want to expose himself too much. He did not want to be a hero of Konoha; he just wanted to stay low and continue to accumulate strength.

Minato Namikaze, though puzzled, quickly agreed.

Just as he completed his agreement with the Fourth Hokage, Hanadō Uzumaki's expression changed. "Jūshinai-nee, someone is coming. I have to go, but we will meet again soon."

With that, Hanadō Uzumaki put his mask back on and disappeared in a flash.

Jūshinai opened her mouth to speak but found that her brother, Hanadō, had already vanished.

Soon, several figures quickly arrived.

The leader was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing that the battle seemed to have subsided, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze then explained. He did not mention Hanadō Uzumaki's existence, only saying that he used the Eight Trigrams Seal to reseal the Nine-Tails in his wife, Jūshinai. He did not mention the seal on his son, Naruto.
