Chapter 157 - 156: Minato got a good bargin

Naruto took out the necklace that Izanami gave him. Then he poured some chakra towards the necklace, and in the next second, a virtual screen that only he can see appeared in his mind.

=====

Accessing Japan Home Network…

Identity confirmed … Accessing user account…

Access successful….

Welcome, Naruto Uzumaki.

====

Then a stream of information began to pour into Naruto's brain, allowing him to learn the basic instructions and functions of this necklace instantly. After he finally digested the knowledge, he had a very peculiar face. It was like he was trying very hard to stay calm and not freak out in excitement or fear.

This feeling was the same for Kushina, Minato, and Kurama. When Naruto accessed the Japan Home Network, as people connected to Naruto on a spiritual level, they were also able to see the screen display and learn the sudden knowledge Naruto got.

Unlike Naruto, who only thought that Izanami was amazing and scary, as veteran ninjas, Minato and Kushina all knew perfectly well the horror of Izanami.

This necklace has a few functions. Some of these functions are like the ability to issue missions independently for Japan ninjas, then the ability to command the yokai members in Konoha, then the ability to use and mobilize the finances without any limit, and finally the ability to sense the presence of any yokai member or sleeper agent of Japan.

And in the small map the system had given Naruto, he could see there were at least more than 4,000 yokai members and sleeper agents in Konoha. And in Konoha, where the number of ninjas ranges from 10,000 to 12,000, this amount is very significant.

After all, the Uchiha clan, which is one of the largest clans in Konoha, only has a total of 1500 ninjas, and even then, most of them are chunnins.

But all these yokai members alone are capable jonnins or special jonnins. And one could imagine the fear Kushina and Minato felt after they realized how much of a time bomb there is in Konoha.

If Izanami really wanted, she could have occupied Konoha in less than a day with this military power. And this is ignoring her personal strength, which is enough to make even Kurama tremble in fear.

And all this military power is now in the hands of Naruto, making him theoretically more powerful than any kage of any great ninja village. After all, even though they are Kages of their respective villages, they all don't have absolute loyalty towards their own Kages. But the Yokai members are different.

The yokai members have pledged absolute loyalty towards Izanami, and they are her sword. If Izanami really ordered them to conquer the world, then they would do that without blinking an eye. And Naruto, who holds the necklace Izanami gave him, can use this military power without any worry, as he is representing Izanami herself.

One should know that in the entire history of Japan there are only three people who have received this special honor of representing Izanami herself. They are Hinami, Kiyomi, and Nanami. Hinami and Kiyomi are a given since they are Izanami's trusted family. Nanami received this honor after she successfully became Izanami's successor.

So, honestly speaking, Naruto being able to wield such authority is already absurd. After all, the only connection he had with Izanami was that he was one of the reincarnations of his elder brother. But this alone is definitely not enough for him to get this much authority. After all, this treatment is something both Hashirama and Madara never got despite them being somewhat close to Izanami.

One could only say Minato really struck gold when he made that deal with Izanami that day.

….

After a while, Naruto finished familiarizing himself with the functions of the necklace and turned to look at Tsunade and said with a victorious grin,

"Tsunade-baa-chan, I know a way to help you solve all the problems, " he said with a confident grin.

"Oh, do you now? " Tsunade raised one eyebrow at his confidence and then went back to her work. "Why don't you tell me your genius plan? " she said dismissively.

Tsunade obviously didn't think or even expect Naruto could help her clean up all this mess. Heh, if this mess is really that easy that even an eight-year-old child could easily solve it, then she might as well give him the Hokage hat directly.

Naruto ignored Tsunade's attitude and once again focused his consciousness on the necklace. Then, following the instructions he had just read, he began issuing some commands to all the yokai members.

And feeling satisfied, Naruto's consciousness returned to reality, and as he was about to explain what he had done, the door to Tsunade's office was knocked. And before either of them could say anything, Naruto's shadow began to grow larger, and a ninja that is completely covered in black clothes appeared from inside.

The ninja didn't speak as she just handed some documents towards Naruto and once again left the room through the shadows.

Although this ninja's actions were somewhat rude, both Naruto and Tsunade didn't mind it, as they were quite used to this scene. No, it should be said that they had witnessed this scene when Izanami was in Konoha.

Tsunade subtly glanced at the Anbu ninjas that were on guard duty and saw that they had not witnessed the yokai member's entry. This made her once again feel a huge headache. Each day, she could always see the shortcomings Konoha has compared to Japan. And as the Hokage, she really didn't like this.

This made her very annoyed. No one would like being inferior to anyone.

But her bad mood vanished completely when Naruto gave the documents to Tsunade. In that document, there was a list of intelligence details of each person who would cause trouble in Konoha.

This list also included some information about why they would most likely cause trouble and what reasons they would come up with.

As Tsunade read more, the more colorful her expression became, and after she finally finished reading all the information, she burst into mad laughter.

She really couldn't stand it anymore. After continuously working for two days straight and a couple with the new information report she just got, Tsunade finally snapped.

Previously, although she was only 30% sure of who would be the mastermindof all these messes, now with the information report as evidence, she is certain of her guess.

'Damn you, Hiruzen, you are really asking for a beating,' Tsunade thought as a very cold light flashed through her eyes.

She had already noticed how her teacher had been very active in the past year, trying to salvage his reputation after Danzo's scandal was revealed. But she really didn't take his actions to heart since she thought he just wanted to keep his image clean as usual.

But now it seems she may have underestimated his ambition. This guy is still greedy for power.

And it seems it isn't just that old geezer who is fanning the flames.

"It seems I need to tell everyone how to behave. Do those geezers think I don't have a temper? " Tsunade muttered as she slowly got up.

She looked at Naruto and said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, " Hey, brat, I heard Izanami left you some homework to do before she left Konoha. What do you say I help you with that? "
