"Someone!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table with the smoking pipe in his hand.
An Anbu Ninja wearing an animal mask appeared in the Hokage's office, bowing respectfully.
"Go and inform the Hyuga Clan Head, Inuzuka Clan Head, Aburame Clan Head, and the members of the Reconnaissance Team that if there is still no news about the intruder within a week, the search should be called off."
Continuing would only waste the village's manpower and resources. Let's just do as Danzo says.
In a brief moment of thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already shifted the blame onto Shimura Danzo in his mind.
"Yes!"
The Anbu Ninja responded and disappeared again.
Truly coming and going like a shadow.
...
Time flies like an arrow, and a week passed quickly.
Naruto had been fully immersed in the training of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique this week. He could now freely seal anything he touched into the Sealing Space, and he could also directly seal anyone who mistakenly entered the sealing array by setting up the sealing array.
It wasn't that Naruto particularly liked sealing techniques, but after mastering them, he suddenly had a good idea.
Regarding Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, he originally wanted to wait until Uchiha Shisui and Shimura Danzo were both severely injured before launching a sneak attack from the shadows. After resolving Uchiha Shisui, he would then obtain the other party's Mangekyo Sharingan.
But that would only be a one-time opportunity, and it had to be a guaranteed kill. Because if he couldn't resolve the opponent instantly, it would be troublesome if Uchiha Shisui used Kotoamatsukami on him before he died.
But now he had a better method. He could set up several sealing arrays in advance in the Naka River and the forest around the Uchiha Clan grounds, and then lure Uchiha Shisui over. After sealing him into the Sealing Space, he would then let Minato-sensei take action.
Relying on the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could pluck out Uchiha Shisui's eyes in an instant. After all, even that old geezer Shimura Danzo could snatch his eyes with a sneak attack, so there was no reason why Minato Namikaze couldn't do it.
He felt that he was still pretty good. Shimura Danzo wanted Uchiha Shisui's life, but he only wanted Uchiha Shisui's eyes. He would spare his life. Anyway, with the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, sealing Uchiha Shisui up wasn't bad either.
He was quite curious to know what Uchiha Shisui would look like when he saw Uchiha Itachi and the Konoha higher-ups joining forces to exterminate the Uchiha clan.
When the most trusted elder and the most promising junior slaughtered his clansmen one by one before his eyes, what kind of expression would he have?
Just thinking about it made him want to jump in and mock him.
"Hehe, it seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen that guy can't hold back anymore."
Naruto, who was originally practicing the Four Symbols Sealing Technique in his bare room, directly entered the Sealing Space and couldn't help but laugh. He immediately felt all the searchlight-like Byakugan suddenly close.
The Nine Tails's malice perception was a rather buggy ability. In the original story, Naruto could even sense the situation on all battlefields of the Fourth Shinobi World War through this technique. Now, it was naturally very easy for Naruto to get a small sense of the current situation in Konoha Village.
"Kid, are you preparing to take action?"
In the Sealing Space, the Nine Tails's gaze also shifted from the manga on the ground to Naruto, who suddenly appeared in the Sealing Space.
The current Sealing Space was somewhat different from before. Sofas, coffee tables, bookshelves, desks, refrigerators—Naruto had sealed almost everything from his home into it during these two weeks of training. Now, his home only had a bed and some things that couldn't be sealed.
But there was no need to worry about not being able to get things out after they were sealed in. After all, if you can seal, you can undo the seal. The current Sealing Space was like his storage space, which was quite convenient.
Naruto's sudden arrival also attracted the attention of Minato Namikaze, who was also reading a manga at the desk. He didn't try to persuade Naruto, but looked at Naruto with a complicated expression and said, "Naruto, I'm not qualified to persuade you about anything. I just hope you don't let hatred completely blind you. Hatred shouldn't affect the innocent."
He knew what Konoha had done to Naruto over the years, and he also had some resentment in his heart. Although he also yearned to be able to understand each other, he didn't have Asura's Chakra, so no matter what Naruto wanted to do to those who hurt him, he could accept it, but he still hoped that Naruto could have his own bottom line and not kill indiscriminately.
Naruto didn't really care about Minato Namikaze's thoughts, as long as he was willing to help.
As for the so-called bottom line, it was somewhat blurred for the current Naruto. He had appeared in this world out of nowhere. Even after merging with Naruto's memories of the past four years, he couldn't possibly have any sense of belonging to Konoha after suppressing the influence of Asura's Chakra.
He was a person without support and without restraint, so his goal was only to improve his strength and then find some fun. He would do things that were beneficial to him, and he might also do things that were detrimental to him.
The idea of destroying Konoha was still in his heart, but it was far less intense than it had been more than a year ago. With the Mangekyo Sharingan and the power of the Nine Tails, he could destroy this village as easily as crushing an insect.
As his strength increased, his mentality had changed somewhat.
He sometimes wondered if the entire shinobi world was quite deformed.
Why were the nobles of the Five Great Nations, who were also as weak as insects, able to control most of the world's resources, while the Five Great Shinobi Villages, which clearly possessed the strongest armed forces, had to fight tooth and nail for a little bit of resource allocation?
This world was very unreasonable, and the order established by Hashirama Senju was also very unreasonable. People with power actually had to be dogs for a bunch of trash, just like himself. He clearly possessed the strength at the pinnacle of this world, but he still had to kowtow to a bunch of trash and beg for peace.
Asura's Chakra was very harmful.
Having a vision far beyond this world, he suddenly felt a little weary with this unchanging shinobi world.
"Don't worry, Fourth Hokage, my actions will only benefit Uchiha Shisui and the Uchiha, not harm them." Naruto smiled, after all, it couldn't be worse than the extermination of the clan.
"Well, that's good." Minato Namikaze didn't know if this was true, but he could only believe it.
"Then let's prepare to act. I'll set up the sealing technique. When I seal Uchiha Shisui in, Fourth Hokage, you immediately take out the eyes."
Naruto earnestly instructed Minato Namikaze, and then said, "Don't be careless. If you accidentally fall victim to Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, then I'll have to make you disappear."
"I understand."
Minato Namikaze also nodded seriously. In any case, he didn't want to disappear now. Naruto's current personality had some problems. If something bad really happened, he could guide him a little.
"Yeah."
After Naruto nodded, his figure directly disappeared into the Sealing Space. Naruto's consciousness returned to his main body, and he directly used the Shadow Clone Technique. An identical clone appeared in front of him.
Naruto smiled and nodded at the clone, telling him to lie on the bed and space out. Then, he used the Transformation Technique to transform into the appearance he had when he met Uchiha Shisui before, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan spinning, and he put on his newly modified, three-eyed cat face mask.
Uzumaki Menma, making a grand entrance!
His figure slowly disappeared.
And Minato Namikaze was stunned in the Sealing Space.
That, that is, Sharingan?
