Naruto: Uchiha Izuna with system

Yeah the same sh*t of 2Chapters per day in my Patreon

Ten miles west of Uzumaki Village, in a forest clearing, the tension was palpable.

The great elder Uzumaki Hirokai and clan leader Uzumaki Wako had gone east to confront the 500 Kaguya ninjas led by Kaguya Manro and Kaguya Taketori. Despite Uzumaki's numerical advantage and their proficiency with sealing techniques, the sudden and direct attack by the Kaguya clan had thrown them into disarray.

In the west, another threat loomed: the Uchiha army led by Uchiha Izuna. While Izuna's forces remained stationary, their presence was enough to send waves of panic through the defenders of Uzumaki Village.

With the east under siege and the west teetering on the edge of conflict, Uzumaki Shigemitsu, the strongest shinobi left in the village, struggled to maintain composure. A peak-level jonin, he knew the devastating reputation of Uchiha Izuna, who was rumored to rival Senju Hashirama himself.

The dilemma was clear: letting Izuna and his forces into Uzushio Village risked catastrophic chaos, yet denying entry could provoke immediate retaliation.

"Uzumaki clan, what do you mean by this?"

Uchiha Gonno, the young and arrogant son of Uchiha Ishiki, stepped forward, his tone sharp. "Our deputy clan leader comes personally to propose marriage, and yet your clan's leaders are absent. You leave our deputy leader waiting outside? Are you mocking Uchiha?"

Uzumaki Shigemitsu felt a surge of anger at the boy's audacity but remained silent, his mind racing with possible solutions.

Was the simultaneous arrival of Uchiha and Kaguya a mere coincidence, or was it a premeditated collaboration? Regardless, the implications were dire.

Izuna, observing the tension, finally broke the silence. "I understand your concerns," he said, his tone measured but firm. "How about this: I will enter the village with only a few people to deliver the dowry. The rest of my forces will remain outside. Does this satisfy you?"

Before Uzumaki Shigemitsu could respond, Izuna's expression darkened. His voice dropped to a chilling tone. "Or perhaps you would rather I destroy this forest with my own hands before we proceed?"

The sheer pressure of his presence caused even Shigemitsu, a seasoned warrior, to falter. The other Uzumaki ninjas behind him were visibly shaken, their unease palpable.

Before the situation could escalate further, a gentle yet commanding voice cut through the tension.

"Izuna, they are my people."

All eyes turned toward the source of the voice. Uzumaki Mito appeared, her elegant figure framed by the light. She wore a pristine white kimono, the traditional attire for a bride, though the dust on its hem betrayed her rushed arrival.

Even without makeup, Mito's beauty shone. The transformation from a youthful girl to a poised young woman was evident, her presence exuding maturity and grace.

Izuna's lips curled into a subtle smile. "The outfit is stunning," he said, his tone softening. "But it's the person wearing it who truly stands out. You've grown more beautiful, Mito."

"Princess Mito!"

"Mito-sama!"

The Uzumaki ninjas bowed respectfully as Mito approached. Her gaze remained steady as she addressed Uzumaki Shigemitsu.

"Master Shigemitsu, allow Uchiha Izuna to enter the village. I will personally ensure he causes no harm."

Shigemitsu hesitated. "Princess, are you certain? If anything goes wrong—"

"I will take full responsibility," Mito interrupted, her tone resolute. "It would be far too disrespectful to leave the deputy clan leader of Uchiha standing here."

With visible reluctance, Shigemitsu nodded. "As you wish, Princess."

Mito turned to Izuna, raising her hand slightly. "Please, Lord Izuna, come this way."

Izuna stepped forward, signaling his troops to remain behind. Without hesitation, he walked past Shigemitsu and clasped Mito's hand in his own.

Startled, Mito's cheeks flushed a deep red. She tried to pull away, but Izuna's grip was firm. "Izuna," she whispered angrily, "let go!"

Unfazed, Izuna held on, his expression calm yet unwavering.

The Uzumaki ninjas watching the exchange were stunned. Whispers spread through the ranks.

"Could it be… Princess Mito and Uchiha Izuna…?"

"Impossible! But… he's holding her hand so casually!"

Though many knew of Mito's past captivity under Izuna, they could hardly believe such a relationship could have formed between them. Yet the scene before them left little room for doubt.

As Mito reluctantly led Izuna into Uzushio Village, the tension among the Uzumaki only deepened.

What would happen when Senju Hashirama arrived and saw this scene? How would the Uzumaki clan navigate the unfolding chaos?
