Chapter 44: What Does What Naruko Did Have to Do with Me, Naruto?
After Uzumaki Naruko and the shadow clone looked at each other, the corners of their mouths curved upward, and the shadow clone transformed into smoke and dissipated.
Then a flood of memories appeared in his mind.
At the same time, the Secret Forbidden Technique—Sexy Jutsu—was also lifted, and the beautiful and lovely Naruko once again transformed back into the original sunny and handsome Naruto.
Naruto, sitting on the tatami, looked at the three sleeping ANBU members beside the bed, feeling somewhat exasperated.
Although it was troublesome, Naruto didn't blame the shadow clone for making decisions without permission. Instead, he felt his shadow clone had done an excellent job. If his appearance just now had been monitored, it would have been genuinely troublesome.
It had to be said that knocking out these ANBU members with the shadow clone was the best way to handle them.
In his memory, these guys were only at chunin level. To ensure the plan wouldn't fail, Naruto had specially prepared substantial chakra for this shadow clone who'd returned home.
Therefore, when dealing with three chunin who had no particular highlights, handling them with ease was still quite simple.
"Poof!"
The smoke dissipated and a shadow clone appeared next to Naruto again.
"You, go throw these three guys out, anywhere you want."
Naruto ordered.
"Alright, please leave it to me with confidence~"
Hearing this, the shadow clone gave a thumbs up, then used Naruto's unique forbidden technique—the Transformation Technique—and once again transformed into a cute and charming girl.
After skillfully retrieving some rope from under the bed and binding the three unconscious ANBU, he opened the window and leaped out. He even closed the window before leaving—very considerate.
Watching the departing shadow clone, Naruto was somewhat confused. Why has even my shadow clone started transforming into a cute girl?
This... doesn't learn the good things and only learns the bad ones?
This was definitely not Naruto's intention. Although the Shadow Clone Technique was powerful, it was definitely flawed!
Naruto comforted himself with this thought.
It was midnight, and the entire Konoha Village had erupted into chaos due to the ground shaking moments ago.
From time to time, there were sounds of footsteps on rooftops and shouts outside the apartment.
Naruto couldn't sleep at all, which would affect his skin and mental state.
Of course, he was too excited to sleep!
This way, the second plan could start smoothly.
The great battle to save the Uchiha begins with the Uchiha clan—let Konoha feel the pain!
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to destroy this clan. Well, for both public and private reasons, why couldn't Naruto make things more difficult for them?
There was also Danzo. Naruto thought he should still be alive, but this actually wasn't important. What does his life and death have to do with me, Uzumaki Naruto...
Naruto, sitting on the bed with his body leaning against the wall, had a smile on his face. His eyes shone brightly as he held a transparent glass bottle soaked in saline solution and examined it carefully through the light from the ceiling.
This was an eye—Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan!
"How beautiful~"
Naruto whispered.
Just as Naruto was admiring this beautiful trophy, the shadow clone who'd just disposed of the three ANBU sent back feedback, and Naruto's lips curved upward slightly.
In the memory, the shadow clone had tied them far away from the apartment where Naruto lived—even outside the scope of the second ring.
As for what would happen when they woke up, that was their own business. Anyway, they couldn't suspect him—an eight-year-old child—right?
Could an eight-year-old ninja, a student who hadn't yet graduated from the Ninja Academy, knock out three chunin before they could react?
Even if Naruto's talents in school were excellent—
If you said this, are you sure you're not insulting the intelligence of Konoha's upper echelon?
So after they woke up and escaped their bindings, they could only report truthfully that they'd been attacked by someone and knocked unconscious. Some of them might even be unlucky and have their wages deducted by the Third Hokage.
Also, with such a major incident happening at Root tonight, the target of investigation would only be attracted by the powerful loli that Danzo mentioned.
Was the unknown loli powerhouse related to Naruto? It doesn't matter!
Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo knew about Uzumaki Mito's golden body mode, they couldn't connect it to him.
Danzo's strength wasn't low—at minimum, he'd reached Kage level. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to obtain Shisui's eye from Shisui, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, by himself.
For such a strong individual, did you think he couldn't recognize the lowest-level Transformation Technique? Wasn't that absurd?
Not to mention he possessed the Sharingan.
This was why Naruto was so calm now. When the time came, he'd just play dumb and claim he knew nothing.
The golden loli is a girl, and I'm a handsome boy. Why should I take the blame for the bad things she did?
So he felt at ease.
Holding the glass bottle in his hand, Naruto thought carefully.
According to what he'd observed when visiting the Uchiha clan today, their coup might be tomorrow night, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Strike first to gain the advantage!
Of course, Konoha's dog thief Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and that bastard masked man hiding in the darkness were the same—they should all be thinking this way.
As for Itachi, his position leaned more toward Konoha's side. He felt the Uchiha clan deserved to be slapped.
He had to catch Konoha's slap with the other side of his face, and prevent Konoha from feeling uncomfortable—that would be a sin and would lead to the deaths of more innocent people.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Uchiha's coup to succeed. Once there was any disturbance, Itachi would report the news to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Thinking of this, Naruto felt disgusted. Is this the reason you swung the butcher's knife at your clan and your parents?
Are you still using the excuse of trying to save your brother to comfort yourself?
He truly has no trace of humanity and behaves like an animal.
Based on Konoha's current situation, the Uchiha clan and Konoha's upper leadership couldn't possibly fight in the short term—unless there was something wrong with their heads.
A powerful individual with terrifying strength had suddenly appeared in Konoha Village at this critical moment. Were they still thinking about internal strife?
Of course, right now only within Konoha could Naruto predict with 70% certainty—there was a high probability they wouldn't act recklessly.
As long as Danzo reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen that a powerful girl with extremely terrifying strength had infiltrated Konoha—
Also suspected to be a jinchuriki—Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was full of political instincts, would definitely pay close attention to this matter.
Even if Danzo didn't tell Sarutobi Hiruzen about such major news, if Sarutobi Hiruzen questioned carefully, the result wouldn't be much different. Not to mention Danzo wasn't stupid.
Someone who could achieve the position of Hokage of Konoha and a seat on the Council of Elders didn't suffer from mental illness. Who would act foolishly? Everyone would definitely think twice before taking action.
As for the remaining 30%—only if Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo were overthinking things...
So the pressure came to the Uchiha clan, whose leader Fugaku's intelligence he still questioned.
With his ability to lead the clan, it was very likely the Uchiha clan would take advantage of the chaos and directly revolt!
In his assessment, the proud Uchiha militant faction members would definitely strongly support the rebellion!
And what the few rational elders said would sound like farts to the ears of those radicals.
Because the entire Uchiha had been ruthlessly oppressed by Konoha for so long—
There would inevitably be a violent rebound, which was irreversible!
Naruto looked at the Mangekyō in the test tube.
He whispered: "Is it really hell-level difficulty to save those two people???"
