Sasuke is Born

Shisui quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't dare take it seriously."

Shintaro's face was stern as he said, "Did you forget what I said before? To be a truly strong man, ambition is crucial. Moreover, [Shunshin no Jutsu] is as good as anyone I've ever seen. Even the Fourth Hokage could rival you."

"So, take pride in your strength."

Hearing this, Shisui sheathed his sword and bowed: "I understand."

Then the two of them formed a reconciliation seal.

The battle between them was over.

Shintaro also confirmed in his mind that Shisui's strength was far greater than he had initially thought. He could reach Jonin-level strength in a short time.

Shisui respected Shintaro even more. After all, only through real combat could he gauge his opponent's strength.

However, now, Shisui was convinced of Shintaro's power and deeply felt the gap between them.

Itachi, who had been watching the battle, ran to Shisui's side in a few steps.

"Brother Shisui, Brother Shintaro, you both are very strong."

Itachi had become a little fanboy of Shisui and Shintaro.

Shisui pointed to the missing corner of his clothing and said, "I am far inferior to Brother Shintaro. I didn't even touch him, but he cut the corner of my clothes."

Itachi said seriously, "Even so, I still think Brother Shisui is very strong."

Shisui smiled, touched Itachi's hair, and said, "It seems my kindness to you hasn't been in vain."

Itachi pushed Shisui's hand away, pouting, and said, "Don't touch my head, I won't grow taller."

Shisui then raised his hand and tapped Itachi's forehead with two fingers.

"I know."

Seeing this, Shintaro approached and imitated Shisui, tapping Itachi's forehead.

"Alright then, I'm leaving. You can play."

Itachi covered his forehead with an innocent expression on his face.

And Shisui smiled and bid farewell to Shintaro.

A few months later, on July 23rd.

In a care ward at Konoha Hospital.

Uchiha Mikoto sat on the bed, with Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi standing by the bedside.

Mikoto held a swaddled baby in her arms.

A small baby wearing dark blue clothes among the yellow swaddles. This little baby had short black hair and two rosy cheeks. He cried with his eyes closed and his little hands clenched.

Mikoto held the baby and said to Itachi beside her, "He's a boy, your little brother."

Itachi stepped forward and poked the baby's cheek, then his forehead.

"This is life, new life."

He sighed inwardly as life was born, while Fugaku held the baby in his arms.

Mikoto smiled lovingly, "Have you decided on a name?"

Fugaku held the swaddled baby in his arms and rocked him a few times to soothe him. Then he looked at Mikoto and said, "Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke."

The name was just as they had agreed.

"Uchiha... Sasuke."

Itachi looked at the baby named Sasuke and felt a strong bond of blood for the first time.

On this day, the second son of the head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Sasuke, was born.

Compared to the birth of his first son, Itachi, Sasuke's birth seemed much simpler.

It was just a simple family dinner, with only ten people invited, mostly Fugaku's confidants in the Uchiha Clan, and a few old friends.

It didn't cause any waves within the Uchiha Clan and had little influence in Konoha.

Maybe it was because too many newborns were born during this period, or perhaps because Fugaku deliberately kept a low profile.

Shintaro met Sasuke at the family dinner.

What worried him a little was that he saw with his Six Eyes a mysterious chakra stored in Sasuke's body, or rather in his soul.

It emitted an ancient, mysterious, and powerful aura.

Shintaro's first reaction was to think about the behavior in the world of Jujutsu in his previous life, body possession.

After the power of Jujutsu Sorcerers or Cursed Spirits reached a certain level, they could store their power in Cursed Objects. When the Cursed Object was swallowed by someone else, they could complete an incarnation and seize and resurrect another's body.

However, Shintaro quickly refuted this speculation.

The chakra in Sasuke's soul did not affect Sasuke's will, and it didn't seem to pose a threat, just a collection of ownerless energy hidden deep within.

'Uchiha Sasuke, it seems Fugaku's child is not simple.'

One day after Sasuke was born.

Mikoto was walking on the street with a bag on her shoulder and Sasuke in her arms.

She met a pregnant woman with red hair wearing a green apron, Uzumaki Kushina.

The two had known each other since their days at the Ninja Academy, and were so close they could be called best friends.

After a brief chat, Kushina looked at Sasuke in Mikoto's arms.

"Is it a girl?"

"It's a boy." Mikoto answered softly.

Kushina smiled and praised, "So cute."

She smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

"What's his name?"

"Sasuke."

A middle-aged woman with brown hair in a high ponytail walked by and said, "He has the same name as the Third Hokage's father."

This was the wife of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Biwako.

"Yes, I hope he can become a great and strong ninja."

Mikoto said, while Sasuke, sleeping in her arms, turned as if he was dreaming.

Mikoto looked up, "Is Kushina about to give birth? It's better to name him first."

Kushina extended her finger and said proudly, "The name is already chosen."

Then she touched Sasuke's head.

"Just call him Naruto."

Sasuke seemed to react to the name and opened his eyes.

"He will be Sasuke's classmate, so you two must get along."

Kushina touched him and couldn't help but poke Sasuke's chubby cheeks.

She suddenly approached Mikoto and whispered, "By the way, was it really painful, right?"

Mikoto was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"I didn't expect Kushina to be afraid of something. What a surprise."
