Rudra groggily opens his eyes.

His body feels weak and there is a stinging pain in his butt. He suddenly feels an urge to cry. ​​

Uwaah... Uwaah...

Sounds of the wailing of a baby echo in the forest. Akira Uchiha and Aiko Uchiha dotingly gaze at their newborn son. They were worried when the newborn infant remained silent after the birth.

"Congratulations! Akira and Aiko!"

Another person enters the hideout.

"Your newborn son took your looks, Akira. When he will grow, he will surely be a lady-killer like you."

These words interrupt their thoughts.

"Oh! You are here, Yagami. How is it outside?"

Akira cautiously mutters these words as he activates his Sharingan to check the chakra signature of Yagami.

"Everything is alright for now. There is no need to worry." Yagami replies.

Upon confirming the identity of Yagami, Akira heaves a sigh of relief and greets him.

"Thank you, Yagami. I would also like to hear good news on your side too. I heard that Fumiko is also pregnant and could give birth anytime. I would like to see my nephew soon if we are able to escape alive from this ambush today."

Akira closes his eyes and sorts through the events.

-------------

A few months ago,

Inside the Hokage Office,

"Hiruzen! The situation at the border is constantly deteriorating. Iwa is instigating the war insurgents of Takigakure to attack our borders."

Danzo clenches his staff.

"I am already aware of it. The leader of the war insurgents has Iwa's backing. So, it's hard to track his whereabouts, much less assassinate him. We have lost many shinobis because of this." Hiruzen rubs his forehead.

"Why don't you commission the Uchiha clan for this mission?" Danzo raises a question.

"No! That won't do. Uchihas have already contributed their fair share in the previous war and they are currently in process of recuperating. Also, recently there are various reports of their members going missing or being killed during missions." Hiruzen shakes his head.

"Then, do you have any other solution for it?" Danzo groans.

"The members of the rest of the clans are already holding the fort at borders. Hiruzen! You can't be lenient with the Uchiha clan." Danzo pressures him.

"Danzo is right!" Homura and Koharu enter the office.

"You guys!! Fine! I will talk with the Uchiha clan leader." Hiruzen relents under their constant pressure.

------------

'It has been almost eight months since the clan issued the mission to three of them. They infiltrated Takigakure as rogue shinobis. Unbeknownst to them, Aiko was pregnant at that time.

Akira and Yagami slowly rose through ranks in the organization and became the right-hand and left-hand man of the leader, respectively. Finally, after eight-month Akira got an opportunity to assassinate the leader.

After the assassination, they successfully escaped the organization and arrived at the borders. But somehow, Iwa ninjas were waiting for them in ambush.

Akira has doubts that someone leaked the information of their mission to Iwa ninjas. It has been a week since the relentless pursuit of Iwa Ninjas.

The group has clashed multiple times with the Iwa ninjas and killed a lot of them.

Their supplies are almost running out and they are exhausted mentally and physically.

The enemy ninjas are out for blood and they never left pursuing their trail. The recent team they annihilated comprised five Jounins, ten special Jounins, twenty-five chunnins, and multiple genins. It was a very close fight.

During their previous confrontation, Aiko received a blow on her womb, which led to premature gestation. It has been almost nine months since her pregnancy and their child was close to being born, but the last battle leads to premature delivery by a week.

Akira was worried about his wife and child. But somehow his wife and child made it through.

"Our son looks healthy. Look at his small beady eyes curiously searching his surroundings."

Aiko's voice interrupts Akira's train of thoughts as she happily hugs their son in her embrace.

"Yes, he will be a great ninja like my father..."

Akira had a sad expression as he says these words. The identity of his father is a secret, a taboo. No one in the village is aware of it, except his family. His mother raised him alone and never revealed his father's identity to him until her death.

He was only aware of the fact that his mother Kasumi Uchiha was the elder sister of Kagami Uchiha, his uncle who was a close aide to the Second Hokage Tobirama.

Yagami was the only son of his maternal uncle, Kagami. Neither Kagami nor Kasumi mentioned anything about his father until their death.

It was on her deathbed that his mother mentioned that his father was none other than the famed Co-founder of the Village Madara Uchiha.

He was grief stricken because of the death of his mother and the revelation of his father's name. His father was a traitor and deserter of the village. To preserve her son's life, Kasumi never mentioned Madara's name to anyone.

Only his uncle was aware of this matter and he too never disclosed it to anyone, not even to the Second Hokage.

"...after all, he is the Grandson of the Ghost of the Uchiha Clan, Madara Uchiha."

---------

Rudra is stunned when his new father spoke these words.

From listening to his parent's conversation, he came to know about a lot of things. First, his parents' names are Akira and Aiko Uchiha and Yagami Uchiha is the name of his uncle. But that isn't the important point.

'I am Reborn as Madara's Grandson!'

Even he can't believe his own words.

'Really! There was such a thing in Naruto. Really! of all the people I could have born to, I was born as Madara's grandson. Wait! Madara had a love interest, and he had a son.'

Rudra is dumbfounded at this revelation.

'Things really are different in this Naruto world. Maybe it is an alternate universe of Naruto.'

"Have you thought of a name for him?" Yagami questions the couple.

"It was Mother's greatest wish for her grandson to be named after my uncle's name…"

Akira continues as he gently strokes Rudra's head,

"Father loved his brother very much. So, I will name my son after my uncle's name in his remembrance. From today onwards my son will be called Izuna Uchiha."

'That's a good name. Now, I was really curious about the identity of my grandmother.' Izuna has a smile on his face.

Yagami approaches the newborn child and holds him in his arms as he cries joyfully.

"I am an uncle now. Fumiko will be thrilled to hear this news."

Akira and Aiko have a smile on their face and Akira teases him.

"Oye! Yagami, we have already named our child. You too decide a name for your child."

"I have already decided long ago. If my newborn is a girl I will name her Kaori if it is a boy his name will be Shisui, Shisui Uchiha."

"Shisui"

Izuna is stunned when he hears this name.

'Don't tell me, it's Shisui Uchiha. So, Kagami Uchiha is my granduncle.'

Izuna laughs loudly but only giggles escape from his mouth.

Suddenly,

Swoosh... Swoosh…

The sudden sound disturbs the silence of the forest, as kunais are flung from a trap set near their hideout.

"Enemy attack!"

Yagami has a grim expression on his face.

The trio immediately raise their guard. Aiko wraps Izuna in her clothes and ties him to her back.

Someone triggered the trap set by them, which means an enemy ambush. Yagami and Akira immediately move out from their hiding to sense their enemies.

Ten Jounins, twenty special Jounins, and nearly thirty chunnins level ninja had surrounded them. There are no genins as it is meaningless to bring them. There is no need for cannon fodders.

Their ambush is ready. This time they will certainly kill these Konoha ninjas and deal a severe blow to Konoha.
