The sound of burning wood occasionally crackled in the silent room as Hayato calmly began to recount his past. "Your mother was not from the Uchiha clan, and this is precisely the source of everything," Hayato said softly.
"Hmm? Could it be that Mother's identity was very special?" Mizu asked with some confusion. "Somewhat special, because your mother possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan," Hayato said slowly, his tone tinged with sorrow.

"Uzumaki clan?" A look of surprise flashed across Mizu's face, because he knew that the main character of Naruto was named Uzumaki Naruto. Could there be some connection?
"The origins of this matter can be traced back to the Warring States Period before the establishment of the Hidden Leaf Village. The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan of the Forest were originally the two most powerful clans of the Warring States Period, but at the same time, these two clans were mortal enemies, it could be said that they were two inherently opposed ninja clans. Since ancient times, they had been in constant conflict, accumulating countless hatred. However, the leader of the Uchiha clan at the time, who was also the strongest ninja of the Uchiha clan, β˜… 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞π₯𝐒𝐠𝐑𝐭 β˜… Uchiha Madara, and the one known as the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, for some unknown reason, reached an agreement and caused the two clans, who were mortal enemies, to join forces to end the turbulent times and establish the Hidden Leaf Village. This was the original Hidden Leaf Village," Hayato said calmly.
"So that's how it is, is that the origin of the Leaf?" Mizu said with some surprise, realizing that the Uchiha clan and that so-called Senju clan had such a history.

"But what does this have to do with my mother?" Mizu asked with some curiosity. "The Uzumaki clan is also a powerful clan, skilled in sealing techniques, possessing vast chakra, and this clan is a distant relative of the Senju clan. In the past, it could be said that they were as close as brothers, and intermarriage was very frequent, especially during the Warring States Period before the establishment of the Leaf. The fact that the Senju clan was able to firmly suppress the Uchiha clan was inseparable from the strong support of the Uzumaki clan. Therefore, the Uchiha clan deeply hated the Uzumaki clan as distant relatives of the Senju," Hayato sighed helplessly.
"I see, so it was the Uchiha clan that forced our family into this situation?" Hearing this, Mizu roughly guessed some of the reasons, his gaze instantly turning cold as he spoke in a low voice.
"There is this aspect to it. The Uchiha and Senju can be said to be like fire and water. Even after establishing the Hidden Leaf Village, they were still in constant conflict, but the direct fighting of the Warring States Period turned into a power struggle within the Leaf Village. The hatred between the two clans can be said to have never been resolved, especially regarding the succession of the First Hokage. The major and minor ninja families and villagers in the village almost unanimously supported Senju Hashirama to become the First Hokage. Therefore, Uchiha Madara failed in the political struggle and left the Leaf, which eventually led to the famous battle at the Valley of the End that shook the ninja world. This is the origin of the feud between the Senju and Uchiha," Hayato said slowly.

"As an elite ninja of the Uchiha clan, I participated in the Third Great Ninja War for the Leaf. During the war, I rescued your mother, but at the time, I didn't know she was a survivor of the Uzumaki clan. Gradually, I developed feelings for her, and in the end, I even violated the Uchiha clan's rules and married her, and that's how you came to be. The fact that she possessed the Uzumaki clan's bloodline was only confirmed after returning to the Leaf Village," Hayato said, a rare ripple appearing in his unfocused eyes.
"So the Uchiha clan persecuted Mother, is that right?" Mizu sighed deeply; he had roughly deduced the outcome of the events.
"That's right, but because your mother possessed the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, they disliked your mother for two reasons. The first point was your mother's Uzumaki clan identity. The second point was the pride within the Uchiha clan's bloodline. They would not allow their bloodline to be tainted. This was because even within the Uchiha clan, only a very small number of clan members successfully awakened the clan's bloodline limit, the Sharingan. Even for pure-blooded Uchiha, the awakening rate was so low, let alone for half-bloods. If you were to marry a woman from the Uchiha clan after you grew up, the probability of your descendants awakening the Sharingan would be even lower. They would absolutely not allow such an act of diluting the bloodline. Actually, it's not just the Uchiha clan that's like this; other clans with bloodline limits also have such a rule, but they are not as proud and extreme as the Uchiha clan."

"After your mother became pregnant, they even demanded that I abort you, who was in your mother's womb, but I didn't agree. Therefore, to protect your mother, I had a falling out and even severed ties with the entire clan. Because the First Hokage's wife was also from the Uzumaki clan, and the Uzumaki clan had very close ties with the Leaf Village in the past, the Uchiha clan didn't dare to go too far," Hayato said, his tone becoming agitated. Even Mizu, who was listening beside him, could clearly feel the hatred in his father's heart.
"Although I severed ties with the clan to protect your mother, I have never regretted it. To avoid the clan's censure, I moved out of the clan's residential area with your pregnant mother and settled down in an ordinary area of the Leaf Village. But then something else I couldn't have foreseen happened," Hayato said, his tone gradually calming down, but his eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp.
"Hmm?" Mizu looked at his father with confusion. "The higher-ups of the Leaf intervened. They precisely seized the opportunity when I had a falling out with the Uchiha clan. Their target was your mother, no, to be precise, it was you in your mother's womb," Hayato took a deep breath, a hint of coldness flashing across his face.

"What? Why would I be the target?!" Mizu was stunned for a moment, asking with some bewilderment.
"This has to do with the relationship between the Leaf and the Uchiha clan. Ever since the establishment of the Leaf Village, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Leaf's higher-ups had been bad. Due to Uchiha Madara's rebellion, the Leaf's higher-ups had always had a deep-seated wariness of the Uchiha clan. During the Second Hokage's era, the Uchiha clan was put in charge of the Leaf Military Police Force. Although this nominally increased the Uchiha clan's authority and showed trust in them, it actually excluded the Uchiha clan from the center of power and openly moved the Uchiha clan's gathering place to the edge of the village. The Uchiha clan was also dissatisfied with the Senju clan's monopoly on the Leaf's leadership, thus further exacerbating the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Leaf's higher-ups. This situation worsened after the Second Hokage's death. Almost all of the Leaf's higher-ups were from the Senju lineage. The Third Hokage and the Leaf's high-level advisors were all disciples of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and similarly inherited Senju Tobirama's distrust of the Uchiha clan. However, because it was wartime at the time, this conflict was temporarily suppressed," Hayato said slowly, looking at Mizu.
"But due to the Leaf's higher-ups' attitude, the other ninja clans and villagers were unintentionally also affected and began to ostracize and distrust the Uchiha clan. So, although the Uchiha clan seemed glorious and was called the strongest clan in the ninja world against the backdrop of the Senju clan's decline, they actually had a very difficult time within the Leaf," Hayato said mockingly.

"The Leaf is known as the most peaceful and prosperous village among the five great nations, proclaiming the Will of Fire to the outside world. But in reality, the more peaceful the surface, the more turbulent the undercurrents, with constant struggles. The Leaf, including the Uchiha clan, had actually long been corrupted. Now that the war has ended, the conflicts within the Leaf must be even more intense."
Mizu pondered for a moment, then his gaze turned cold. "So the reason why the Leaf wanted to harm me and Mother was..."
"That's right, because your surname is Uchiha, but you also had the potential to inherit the Uzumaki clan's bloodline. The Uzumaki clan's bloodline not only had powerful life force and vast chakra, but their constitution could also suppress the Tailed Beasts!! An Uchiha clan member simultaneously inheriting the bloodline limits of the Uzumaki and Uchiha clansβ€”you should understand what that would mean for the Leaf's higher-ups who were in opposition to the Uchiha clan."
"Everything has two sides. As a half-blood, you might inherit both clans' bloodlines, but at the same time, it was also possible that due to the impurity of the bloodline, neither bloodline could be awakened. But for the Leaf's higher-ups, the danger had to be nipped in the bud. As long as the probability wasn't zero, it had to be eliminated. Apart from the Third Hokage, who opposed this proposal, all the other advisors agreed with this decision. The most active among them was a Leaf high-up named Danzo, the leader of the Leaf's Root organization, a guy known as the Darkness of the Leaf. All the actions against your mother and you were proposed and planned by this guy," Hayato's tone had become incredibly sharp at this point, and a terrifying aura slowly emanated from his body.
