I'M NARUTO UZUMAKI

Here's a corrected version of your text with specific details from the Naruto manga included:

Sasuke's thoughts were simple: Naruto was his first real friend, and naturally, he wanted to introduce him to his parents. He wanted Naruto to experience the warmth of a family, despite the frequent arguments between his father, Fugaku, and his older brother, Itachi. Sasuke was sure that Naruto had never felt such care from anyone before.

Mikoto and Fugaku exchanged glances. If it weren't for Sasuke being their own child, they might have wondered if he had some ulterior motive for suggesting this, possibly even trying to manipulate the situation.

Mikoto, who had been close friends with Naruto's mother, Kushina, knew all about Naruto's tragic life. She had even considered adopting him at one point, but the situation was complicated. Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the village's higher-ups would never allow the Uchiha clan to adopt him. In fact, only the Third Hokage had the authority and means to take such an action. Despite knowing this, Mikoto still felt sympathy for Naruto.

Itachi, looking at his younger brother, couldn't help but wonder if Sasuke was being used in some way. He would have to find a chance to speak to Sasuke privately to understand his reasoning.

After a long silence, Fugaku, with his usual stoic expression, slowly spoke: "Since he's your friend, you can bring him here if you want. But, let's see if he's truly worthy of being a friend of the Uchiha clan."

Sasuke's face lit up with a faint smile at his father's words.

Itachi furrowed his brows, his concern visible despite his calm demeanor. Mikoto seemed ready to speak, but Fugaku cut her off, his voice firm and unwavering: "It's a good thing that Sasuke has made a new friend. Do you want him to lose face in front of his friend?"

Itachi didn't respond verbally but his expression said it all. He was wary of Naruto coming over, as it would only add fuel to the fire in the ongoing tension between the Uchiha clan and the village.

After dinner, Itachi changed into his ninja uniform and left the house. But instead of heading to the Anbu base, he took a detour to Shisui's home at the edge of the Uchiha compound. He knocked on Shisui's door, and the latter warmly invited him in.

Itachi immediately expressed his concerns about Sasuke's invitation to Naruto. He was worried that Fugaku might be moving toward something more drastic, like a coup. Shisui listened carefully before responding: "It's a bit inappropriate to have Naruto over, but I don't think your father would openly target the Jinchuriki in front of everyone. If the Uchiha clan wanted to take action against him, they could do it more subtly."

Itachi sighed, feeling somewhat reassured but still deeply troubled. "The resentment towards the village is growing within the clan. I'm afraid they might actually try something soon."

Shisui paused, then gave a wry smile. "I'll do my best to stop it, but if it comes to that... I'll cross that bridge when I get there."

The conversation left Itachi deep in thought. He knew that if the day ever came when the clan and the village were in direct conflict, he would have to make a choice between his family and the village.

The next day, Naruto was enjoying his lunch on the roof of the school, looking down at his classmates from a distance. As he ate, he pondered who would be the best people to approach as friends—someone who could help him earn more resources from the Third Hokage.

Though the Third Hokage didn't hold Naruto in high regard, he still provided him with the living expenses and scrolls, knowing that they were essential for Naruto's growth. Naruto's thoughts drifted to his classmates. Sakura, Ino, Kiba, and Shino were the main candidates. He quickly ruled out Sakura, who was obsessed with Sasuke, and Kiba, who constantly annoyed him with his dog-like behavior. That left Ino and Shino, but Naruto wasn't fond of dealing with girls, making Shino his most likely choice.

As Naruto was contemplating his next move, he heard a familiar voice. "Are you going to challenge me again?" he asked, turning to see Sasuke standing behind him. "If you don't improve, you're going to lose again."

Sasuke's face was as cold as ever. "It will be a matter of time before I defeat you," he said, though his voice held a note of hesitation. "But that's not why I'm here today."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Then what is it? Is it about training?"

Sasuke shifted uncomfortably for a moment before speaking. "Yesterday, I told my parents about our training together. They asked me to invite you to our house as a guest. They want to get to know you better."

Naruto raised an eyebrow in amusement. "It sounds like you're trying to pass the responsibility onto your parents. This is your idea, Sasuke, not theirs."

Sasuke stiffened but didn't deny it. "It's true, I invited you. But my mother seems to know you already. She once considered adopting you."

Naruto blinked, surprised. Uchiha Mikoto wanted to adopt me? He hadn't heard of that before. However, considering his status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he doubted it would have been possible unless someone like the Hokage had allowed it.

Seeing Naruto's silence, Sasuke seemed disappointed. "If you don't want to come, that's fine. I won't invite you again."

Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and smiled. "I'll go. But this is my first time visiting someone else's house. Do I need to bring a gift?"

Sasuke shook his head. "If you're sincere, that's enough. Gifts aren't necessary. I just want to know more about the relationship between you and my family. Whenever you're mentioned, both my parents seem... uncomfortable."

Naruto smiled enigmatically. They're not uncomfortable, they just know my identity as the Jinchuriki, he thought. But since Sasuke was inviting him, he would accept.
