Naruto: Blackbeard Template

Kirito kept teasing her for quite a while.

In the end, Kurenai finally reached her limit. She puffed out her cheeks, turned her head to the side, and clearly decided she was not going to pay him any more attention.

"…Uh…"

Kirito smiled faintly, then reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head.

Kurenai's large, bright eyes slowly narrowed.

She really liked this feeling.

But at the same time, it made her unbearably shy.

The words Namikaze Kirito had said before—that she would become his future wife—had taken root deep in her heart.

Otherwise… she would never have allowed a moment like this to happen.

Even if she believed him, the suddenness of everything still left her flustered and completely unprepared.

Kirito could not help but smile.

The young Kurenai in front of him, blushing and shy, was almost exactly the same as the woman she would become in the future.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether this was the past… or the future.

Kurenai finally snapped back to her senses.

The moment she saw the smile on the man's face as he looked at her, her face turned even redder.

Being so thin-skinned, she let out a small cry and immediately ran back into her bedroom.

Kirito watched her leave, then slowly stood up as well.

The meal was over, and his heart was satisfied.

It was time to head back and bring the affairs of this era to a close.

Meanwhile, at Minato's house, several of Konoha's most important figures had already gathered.

Uchiha Fugaku. Hyūga Hiashi. The heads of the Ino-Shika-Chō clans. Orochimaru. Jiraiya. And others.

The moment Namikaze Kirito pushed the door open and entered, every eye in the room turned toward him.

Over the past few days, the younger Orochimaru had already told them everything—Kirito's identity, and everything that had happened.

There was no point hiding it anymore.

History had already changed, so keeping secrets now served no real purpose.

And more importantly, this was also the fastest way to strengthen Konoha.

"So this is Namikaze Kirito… the one who will save the Uchiha clan in the future?"

Uchiha Fugaku stared at Kirito without blinking.

From the future Orochimaru, he had already learned how the Uchiha clan's fate would unfold in the years to come.

What shocked him most was that the Uchiha did not walk the path of destruction.

Instead, they rose to prominence in the future nation and even became one of the Twelve Elders of Konoha.

According to the future Orochimaru, that position stood at the very center of power. The entire shinobi world would eventually be unified, and anyone could imagine just how much authority those Twelve Elders would possess.

At this moment, Fugaku felt genuine gratitude toward Kirito.

And even more than that… curiosity.

It was hard to imagine that the young man standing before him would one day dominate the entire shinobi world and accomplish something unprecedented.

Even his ancestor, Uchiha Madara—the man once known as the God of Shinobi's equal and feared as a legend—had failed to achieve such a thing.

Not to mention that in this timeline, the younger Orochimaru had already destroyed Shimura Danzō and Root before they could move against the Uchiha clan.

By now, Fugaku had already made up his mind.

No matter what anyone else chose, he would stand on Namikaze Minato's side.

And when Namikaze Kirito was finally born in this era, he would do everything possible to build a good relationship with him.

"Kirito, you're here…"

Namikaze Minato looked at Kirito as he approached, and his eyes were filled with warmth.

This was his son.

His greatest pride.

"Little Kirito, you snuck off again, didn't you? And after all the trouble I went through making food!"

Kushina, on the other hand, did not care at all about who was high-ranking or important.

Right now, all she could see was her own child.

Minato could only smile helplessly at the scene.

He was famous for indulging his wife, after all.

How could he possibly interrupt her now?

At most, he could only give his son a sympathetic look.

"Mom, I… I wanted to go out for a walk too."

Faced with Kushina, Namikaze Kirito completely lost the overwhelming presence of the man who would one day dominate the ninja world.

Right now, he felt no different from an ordinary child standing in front of his mother.

"Hmph! I really don't understand how my child could grow up with such a cold personality. Once you're born, I'm definitely going to teach you properly!"

Kushina raised her fist, her face full of anticipation.

Kirito fell silent for a few seconds.

Somewhere deep inside, he offered a quiet moment of sympathy for his future self.

The warm atmosphere passed quickly.

Soon, Kirito walked over to the table and took a seat.

The younger Orochimaru stood quietly behind him.

At that moment, the veins around Hyūga Hiashi's eyes bulged.

He had activated his Byakugan.

He wanted to see just how much chakra existed within Namikaze Kirito's body.

After all, while chakra alone was not the only standard used to judge a shinobi's strength, it was still an extremely important measure.

But the instant he tried to look—

Hiashi suddenly covered his eyes.

A moment later, two thin streams of blood ran down from them.

"I'm sorry. The power within me has already gone beyond what your eyes can bear. Hurting you was never my intention."

Kirito spoke calmly, his tone gentle.

"No… I do not blame you. I was simply too curious. I should be the one apologizing."

Hiashi kept his hands over his eyes as he spoke in a hurried voice.

Using the Byakugan to peer into someone else without permission was rude to begin with.

But even so, he had not been able to resist the curiosity in his heart.

In the end, curiosity had only brought him pain.

The current Namikaze Kirito had already stepped into the Six Paths level.

And together with the complete awakening of his template, his body had undergone some kind of extraordinary transformation long ago—something even Orochimaru had noticed while conducting his earlier experiments.

Trying to copy Kirito's jutsu with a perfected Sharingan was impossible.

As Orochimaru had put it, the head of their future family had already evolved into something that could no longer be called an ordinary lifeform.

Neither the Byakugan nor the Sharingan could interfere with Namikaze Kirito anymore.

Only those who had also stepped into the Six Paths realm—or possessed the Rinnegan or Tenseigan—would even have the qualifications to stand against him.

And that was only the qualification to fight him.

Even if Namikaze Kirito stood perfectly still, Uzumaki Nagato, despite possessing the Rinnegan, would still be unable to break through his defense.

Seeing that everyone's attention was fixed on him, Kirito stopped wasting words and began to explain his plan.

First, the younger Orochimaru could not come with him.

He had to remain in this world and protect Minato's family.

As a reward, Kirito would give him a pair of perfect Mangekyō Sharingan.

The same applied to Uchiha Fugaku.

Although Fugaku had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, continued use was already causing his vision to deteriorate.

Only Namikaze Kirito could solve that problem.

After all, Fugaku did not have a younger brother or older brother whose eyes he could transplant to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

As for the rest of Konoha's high-ranking figures who were loyal to Namikaze Minato, Kirito intended to reward all of them in one way or another.

Konoha had to preserve and build far more fighting power than it currently possessed.

Otherwise, with only the strength they had now, forget the future Akatsuki, Uchiha Madara, and everything else waiting ahead—

They would not even be able to properly deal with the Nine-Tails.

As for his mother, Kirito had already placed a seal on the Nine-Tails.

If it dared to be disobedient, it would immediately be made to suffer a fate worse than death.

Minato had also already been fully strengthened physically.

At this point, his body was no weaker than the powerful vitality of the Uzumaki clan.

Kirito had also granted him affinity for all five basic nature transformations.

There was no need to give Minato the Sharingan.

As the future Fourth Hokage, it would look absurd for him to go around with a pair of Sharingan in his eyes.

Minato was already a genius to begin with.

With the Flying Raijin Technique, all five chakra natures, and a body strengthened to the level of the Uzumaki clan's life force—

Even without a Tailed Beast Mode, he would still stand firmly among the highest tier of peak shinobi.
