BECOME MADARA'S GRANDLE IN NARUTO WORLD
THE JOURNEY OF THE COUNTRY PART - 1

A month later, Sasuke was finally born.

Fugaku threw a big party to celebrate the occasion. They invited almost all the other clan members and clan heads to the party.

I attended the party with my family. Even Minato and Kushina got an invitation. Well, Minato is Hokage and Kushina seems to be a close friend of Mikoto.

Baby Sasuke looks too sweet. Itachi carried Sasuke in his arms and Sasuke giggled.

'Brother! Itachi is a bro-con.'

I commented on their interaction. I have grown from the stage of persecution by a panicked group of aunts and grandmothers. Itachi was able to avoid this because of Sasuke.

'I won't let Sasuke turn into Emo again. Look at this cute kid, some Danzo or Obito schemes can't 'break it.'

I tickled Sasuke a little on his cheek. Sasuke grabbed my finger and laughed.

"Nii-san, she likes you." Itachi and Shisui commented.

Itachi seemed to be hesitating at something as he quietly muttered to himself, saying,

'But I am his brother!'

I'm sweating in Itachi.

'I can hear you, Itachi.'

We were distracted by some distractions; I turned around and was frightened by the creepy Hyuga. Hiashi and Hizashi appear with a group of Hyuga elders.

I saw two beautiful Hyuga women with them. One of them was holding a small child in his arms.

'If my guess is correct, then they are Hiashi's wife and Hizashi's and that little boy is Neji. He'll be one year old.'

Mother, Aunt Mikoto, Aunt Fumiko, and Brother Kushina welcomed them as they formed their own female guild.

'There are only two creepy things in the village that can scare me. First is the Hyuga with their Byakugan and second is the Aburame with a body full of insects. I still can't get used to them.'

Another commotion ensued and spoke of the Devil. The Aburame clan members have arrived. Shibi walked near me and asked,

"How are you, son?"

"You remember me, Shibi-san," I asked her.

"You're too amazing to forget. Also, everyone in this village knew about the 'Silent Shinigami'. You're a pretty famous kid." Shibi answered me as she moved to greet Fugaku.

Similarly, Choza came with Akimichi and greeted me. With the arrival of Hiruzen, the party begins and turns out to be quite noisy.

Sasuke was crying uneasily. I tickled her cheeks to comfort her. Itachi reluctantly looked at me. I ignored him as we walked to a quiet corner.

The party continues as the celebration continues until midnight.

The next day,

I went to Kushina's sister. Kushina was surprised by my visit and she pretended to be angry with me.

"Sister Kushina, how are you? I miss you so much."

Hmphc…

Kushina snorted as she ignored me. He started to mutter to himself.

"Izuna has been a bad boy recently. He had already forgotten his older sister Kushina, otherwise he would visit her often. Hiks..hiks..I miss him a lot."

I tried to calm him down, though,

"It wasn't my fault, Brother Kushina. It's all Minato-san's fault. He has given me many missions recently. I barely have a vacation between them." I sighed and blamed Minato.

'Forgive me, Minato-san. Bite the bullet this time.'

"That Minato. Wait for him to come home. I'll give him a little thought. No dinner for him today."

Kushina angrily gritted her teeth.

"By the way, Izuna-kun, what brings you here? You didn't come here just to see me, did you?" Kushina glared at me as she questioned me threateningly.

���Have he known my lies? I have to act natural.'

"What are you talking about, Kushina Nee-san? I just came here to visit you, because I'm free." I tried to convince him.

He smiled at me and walked towards me. He grabbed and twisted my ears.

"Aww.aww.sick Kushina nee-san."

"Give me a hug and I'll consider it."

With a heavy heart I obey. He hugged me tightly and curled up with me.

"You are the only person left after the departure of Obito and Rin. Don't die too early." Kushina hugged me, a drop of tears falling from her eyes.

I just let her hold me for a while to calm her down. I comforted him for a moment.

"OK! Izuna-kun, now tell me the real problem."

"Sister Kushina, I want to investigate the remains of the Hidden Eddy Village or Uzushiogakure. I have a hunch that it involves a lot of suspicious things with the extinction of the Uzumaki clan.

Also, I want to know more about Fuinjutsu because I have reached the level of Grandmaster in Fuinjutsu. I think there's more to Fuinjutsu and I can still progress further."

Kushina immediately congratulated me, though,

"Congratulations! Izuna-kun's. It seems that your talent in Fuinjutsu is even higher than many direct descendants of our Uzumaki Ancestor. It could be considered comparable to a Great Ancestor.

It took me about five years to reach Master level and another seven years to reach Grandmaster level. Minato really surprised me when he took the same amount of time as me. But you are Izuna-kun, you reached Grandmaster level in just four years.

It was a terrible level of progress, even by Uzumaki's standards. You little monster, Izuna-kun."

Kushina hugged me again as she curled up with me. After curling up for a while, she left me from her embrace as she continued,

"I also have my own doubts. My Uzumakik clan was exterminated despite the protection of Konoha and Grandma Mito. I investigated this matter for many years, but I still could not find the identity of the culprit.

If you can find something from your investigation, then I'll definitely help you."

I questioned many things about the Uzumaki clan of Kushina, and she answered them all.

"I have one last question, Kushina nee-san. I want to ask about the origin of the Uzumaki clan. From Uchiha's account, I learned that Senju and Uzumaki were related by blood. At some point, they split up into these two clans.

I want to know the exact details about the origin of the Uzumaki clan. If you're okay with that, then please answer my question."

I was very curious about the origin of the Uzumaki clan. There is no clear mention of their origin in the original story. I wonder if there are any origin stories in this world.

Kushina nodded and answered me,

"It's no secret anymore, because my clan is almost extinct now. There is no harm in telling you. Also, even I am not sure about the origin of my clan, but from the various rumors I heard as a child, I have some ideas about our origin.

Several centuries ago, one of the direct descendants of the Senju clan left the clan because he had no talent for Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. The ancestors traveled through the entire world and eventually discovered his talent in Fuinjutsu.

There are various stories about chance encounters, one of which states that he found a certain artifact that gave him knowledge of Fuinjutsu and the reason for his longevity and a large number of Chakras from Uzumaki.

Another story states that at some point during his journey, the ancestor made a summoning contract with the Reaper that blessed him with a large amount of Chakra, longevity, and knowledge of Fuinjutsu.

I'm not entirely sure of the details, but these are the various stories and myths I heard during my brief visit to the clan. If you want, I can give you a sealing formula to access the Uzumaki clan compounds that are in Konoha. They were previously nurtured by Grandma Mito, and I stayed there for a while before moving in with Minato after our wedding.

There is also the Uzumaki temple located on the outskirts of Konoha, which was built by Grandma Mito in honor of our ancestors. You can also visit it. I'll also give you a map of the location of Uzushiogakure hidden in the Land of Whirlpools.

Without a proper map, you will be trapped in the swirling Village death pond. There's only one correct way to access the village."

After searching for a while, Brother Kushina handed me a scroll and a map.

"Use this scroll to access the Uzumaki complex and the Temple. Also, stay safe during your trip and tell Minato about your departure."

I walked out of his house as I began to check the key to the Uzumaki compound barrier formula.

'This was a fairly complex formula, even more complex than the Village barrier. It will take me a lot of time to decipher this formula. I think Mito Uzumaki is at the top of the Grandmaster level in Fuinjutsu.'

I kept the seal and the map as I returned home. Tomorrow, I will begin my journey to the Land of Whirlpool and hopefully I can find a solution for the 'Sin Seal'.
