"Danzo?" Mizu muttered to himself, his gaze gradually turning icy. "Then where is Mother now?" he asked, his voice somewhat agitated.
Hayato let out a deep sigh and slowly began to speak, "Because she wasn't accepted by the Uchiha clan, the Leaf's higher-ups had no scruples about targeting your mother. I originally thought that your mother's Uzumaki clan identity would grant her protection from the Leaf's higher-ups, but I didn't expect them to be a pack of vicious wolves as well. Even though the Third Hokage opposed doing so, Danzo, as the Darkness of the Leaf, constantly clashed with the Third Hokage. If he made up his mind about something, he wouldn't listen even to the Third Hokage!!!"
"And most importantly, the Leaf's higher-ups reached some sort of agreement with the Uchiha clan, probably involving some political sacrifice. Therefore, when the Leaf made a move against our family, the Uchiha clan offered us no protection whatsoever. This was not only because the Leaf's higher-ups paid some political price, but also because the Uchiha clan also wished for you to die in the womb," Hayato's tone became incredibly sharp here, a strong hatred radiating outwards. His originally unfocused pupils instantly turned incomparably scarlet.
Three black tomoe spun rapidly within the crimson pupils – the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Mizu was momentarily startled, then understood; /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ as an elite ninja of the Uchiha clan, possessing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan was only natural.
But just then, "Cough!!!" A cough instantly interrupted Mizu's thoughts. Hayato's expression changed abruptly, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Father!!!!" Mizu's expression changed drastically. He quickly rushed forward to support his father, his eyes filled with worry. "Father, what's wrong!!!!"
At this moment, Hayato's face was pale without a trace of blood, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, looked at Mizu, and said slowly, "It's nothing, just got too agitated thinking about some things. They're all old injuries."
Then he continued, "Afterwards, the Uchiha clan cooperated with Danzo and other Leaf higher-ups. In order to ensure they killed both you and your mother, they even lured me away from your mother under the pretext of holding a clan meeting. I had already broken ties with the Uchiha clan, but because I still held some hope and guilt towards the clan, I didn't think too much about it at the time. Fortunately, there were still a few people within the Uchiha clan who opposed this act of betraying clan members for profit, and they warned me at the critical moment."
At this point, Hayato looked at Mizu and said slowly, "Immediately, I rushed out of the meeting place. When I arrived home, the surrounding area had already been sealed off by the Leaf's Root organization. Your mother, pregnant with you, was struggling to fend off the attacks of the Root ninjas."
Hearing this, Mizu's fists clenched tightly, making a cracking sound from the friction of his bones. "After that, I killed a Root ninja maintaining the barrier and rushed inside. By that time, your mother was already severely injured, but she still desperately protected you, who was still inside her. Seeing your mother's suffering, I felt incomparable self-blame and unbearable pain. At the same time, I awakened an even stronger power. Afterwards, just as you imagined, I fought my way out of the Leaf with your heavily injured mother," Hayato said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Although she was badly injured, because your mother had the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, it wasn't fatal, and she resiliently survived. For the next year, I took your mother on a short yet long journey of escape. During our flight, countless Leaf Root ninjas and even the Hokage's direct Anbu [Note: Anbu - special black ops unit] pursued us. Fortunately, I awakened a new power and repelled them all. But at the same time, I was also severely injured, almost losing my sight," Hayato said, a trace of sadness appearing in his eyes. "This is the fate of the Uchiha clan. While gaining great power, they also gradually descend into darkness."
"Later, during our escape, your mother gave birth to you. But because she had been severely injured before and was far from recovered, coupled with the strain of childbirth, she ultimately died of exhaustion after delivering you. Finally, I brought you, still an infant, to the Land of Water and settled down in this village. Because the Land of Water is isolationist, it's almost impossible for outside forces to infiltrate this country, which provided us with a protective umbrella."
Upon hearing that his mother had died of exhaustion after giving birth to him, Mizu bit his lip hard, blood unknowingly trickling from the corner of his mouth. His fists clenched tightly. "Leaf!! Uchiha!!!! A bunch of sanctimonious, despicable scoundrels!!!!" he roared hoarsely, his hatred towards the Leaf and the Uchiha instantly intensifying immensely.
"Now I've told you everything about your mother and the grudges with the Leaf and the clan, without any concealment. Although you are still young, your maturity and calmness far surpass children of your age, and you also have the right to know about your mother. That's why I told you these things. I believe you won't be blinded by hatred," Hayato said, looking at his son with a gratified expression.
"I understand!!" Mizu took a deep breath and slowly raised his head. At this moment, Mizu slowly lifted his bowed head. His scarlet Sharingan's original two tomoe had disappeared, replaced by three black tomoe spinning rapidly.
Seeing Mizu's Sharingan had evolved into the Three-Tomoe, Hayato's expression changed drastically. He looked in shock at his son, whose face was now cold. Within those pupils, even more eerie and sinister than before, lay an incomparably intense killing intent.
He stared silently at his son for a long time, then sighed deeply. As if having made a decision, he said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Originally, I didn't want to tell you now, but your growth has far exceeded my expectations. I've changed my mind."
Mizu's Sharingan had gradually faded, returning to black pupils. The burning, stinging sensation in his eye sockets slowly dissipated. Hearing his father's words, Mizu looked at him with confusion.
"About the most important secret of the Sharingan."
