Chapter 98
Yomi was directly disemboweled.
"Ugh... ugh..."
Such severe injuries caused the Mōryō's power within him to run wild.
The uncontrollable power radiated light, like a bomb on the verge of exploding.
"Mōryō... Lord Mōryō will definitely conquer the Ninja World!!!"
After saying this, his body completely exploded, turning into a bloody mist...
"So much nonsense."
Naruto landed, looking at the distant blood rain with an impatient expression.
At this moment, the Nine-Tailed inside Naruto's stomach remained silent for a long time.
It was still immersed in the formidable power displayed by Naruto's Yin Release.
Such an evil intention made it confirm why Narutowouldn't be corrupted by its hatred.
That was... "Uzumaki Naruto possesses an evil far surpassing its own."
Everything could be understood from what this kid had done since he met Uchiha Sako.
The truth had long been laid out before its eyes, and this practical application further confirmed the profound darkness within Naruto.
But the problem was.
How could a human born not long ago compare to the 1000 years of hatred accumulated in its heart?
Am I, Kurama, too gentle?
Or is it... Uzumaki Naruto, you are too extreme?
Kurama thought long and hard, unwilling to believe that Ashura's Chakra was dark.
Because he had once fought alongside Ashuraagainst Indra, and deeply understood Ashura's true character.
Such a guy... Uzumaki Naruto, absolutely cannot be the reincarnation of Ashura's Chakra!
"Uzumaki Naruto..."
The voices of Uchiha Inaho and others came from behind.
When they realized Naruto was fine, they were both shocked and surprised.
The next second, Naruto turned his head and gave a kind smile to everyone: "Everyone, it's alright, that guy blew himself up..."
...Soon after.
Uchiha Fugaku and others arrived.
The Third Hokage also came along.
The burst of power gathered most of Konoha's strongest Ninja here.
In the dead of night in Konoha, everyone gathered here to understand the detailed process of the incident.
When they learned that it was Naruto who suddenly stepped in to help and foiled the Land of Demons Ninja's conspiracy, they were extremely astonished.
Kakashi was also standing in the crowd.
He looked at his teacher's child surrounded by everyone, his heart filled with complex emotions.
"Grandpa Hokage, this is what I should do~."
Naruto scratched his head and smiled shyly, feigning innocence.
"After all, I am the man who will become Hokage..."
Naruto's childish words were no longer dismissed as mere childish prattle by anyone.
After all, through several incidents, Naruto had already proven his potential with his power.
To have such a performance at this age.
What would he be like when he grew up?
He truly is the Fourth Hokage's child... Everyone looked at each other, seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes.
"Naruto-kun... Thank you for your help..."
The Priestess stepped out from the crowd, and as the protected target, she naturally thanked Naruto.
"Hehe, no need to thank me, Auntie Priestess, after all... you are also a part of Konoha... mutual help is only right."
Naruto waved his hand.
"And... if you really want to thank me, there will be a chance 'later'."
Naruto gazed at the Priestess's noble face, his tone carrying a certain implication.
Before the Priestess could fully grasp the meaning, her daughter Shion ran over and smiled at Naruto: "Naruto, you looked so cool when you defeated those guys just now!"
Shion, who resembled Hinata in appearance but had a completely different personality, was better at expressing her thoughts.
Her bold and outgoing nature made everyone smile.
Seeing Naruto quickly gain the favor of two Priestesses, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobiwas even more pleased.
"This child, his personality seems different from Minato's, but he actually has the same ability to gather people's hearts..."
Only someone recognized by everyone can become Hokage.
As it stands, Naruto is on the right path.
Recalling his younger son Asuma, who had shirked his responsibilities, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
Comparing people, they are completely different...
Far away in the Land of Demons.
"Yomi and the others are dead."
Mōryō sensed the dissipation of the power it had distributed.
Unexpectedly... it actually lost to Konoha.
Was it because the operation was detected?
Or... was it because of the Nine-Tailed?
"In that case, we can only continue to lie low."
Mōryō suggested.
It hoped that the young Daimyo would bide his time and cultivate the strength of the entire nation.
As long as its power was spread throughout the entire Land of Demons.
Then an invincible army would be established.
At that time, conquering the Ninja World would be a trivial matter.
However, how could the Daimyo, who missed his wife and daughter, allow his wife and children to betray him, and even betray the nation!
"No! They must have been misled by the Konohaguys! This King will personally go to Konoha to investigate!"
Using the title of "Daimyo," he decided to set off for Konoha for diplomatic action.
If that didn't work, he would directly pressure the Land of Fire Daimyo to make Konoha return his wife and daughter.
Facing the Daimyo's resolve, Mōryō remained silent.
Chapter 40: Deceiving Naruto, the Sinful Nun! [Tenth Update]
The next morning, the sun rose as usual.
Last night's Land of Demons Ninja attack ultimately concluded with proper handling.
The Priestess was moved to a safer location, and the injured were treated.
Naruto also gained more recognition from the higher-ups.
For the Uchiha Clan, if it weren't for Naruto's help last night, the outcome of the situation would have been unknown.
This also made Uchiha Fugaku realize the shortcomings of his plan.
He began to retract the Uchiha Clan's influence, intending to gradually replace the old factions with a more thorough and complete plan.
Winning over Naruto also took on a greater proportion in the plan.
The only problem was that Sako and Naruto were both still too young to finalize their relationship, which was a variable in the plan.
After all, the Hyuga side was also making efforts.
Although Uchiha Fugaku had great confidence in his daughter Sako, he was also worried that the Konoha higher-ups might directly appoint Narutoand Hyuga Hinata... or someone else.
Therefore, having Sako interact more with Narutobecame one of the arrangements in the plan...
The Orphanage in the morning was bright and sunny.
Naruto sat cross-legged on the roof, practicing Yin Release.
In the Orphanage courtyard, Shion was playing with the little children.
Because of Naruto's strength demonstrated again last night, the Konoha higher-ups and the Priestess felt relieved enough to let Shion go out.
After all, children need companionship, and keeping them cooped up is not good.
This was also part of the plan to integrate the next Priestess into Konoha.
"Brother Naruto~, come play with us!"
The children called out to Naruto, who was sitting on the roof.
Naruto opened his eyes, jumped down, and was soon surrounded by the children, playing happily with them.
Watching Naruto, who acted like an older brother and cared for the children, Yakushi Nonou couldn't help but show a gentle smile.
But the next moment, her holy face was tinged with melancholy.
Because... Naruto's actions last night had attracted Danzo's immense attention.
After an all-night on-site investigation and intelligence gathering... once Naruto's burst of power reached the "Kage-level," Danzoimmediately made a major decision.
That was... to have Yakushi Nonou bring him to the Root's hideout... to his presence, by any means necessary.
Clearly.
Naruto, who had previously defeated Biwa Jūzō of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, already had destructive power starting at Elite Jonin level.
Last night's explosion of Yomi and the deaths of several Land of Demons Ninja further confirmed that Naruto's destructive power had reached "Kage."
Of course, destructive power reaching Kage does not mean that all-around qualities are Kage-level.
In terms of overall quality, Uzumaki Naruto's other aspects would be remarkable if they even reached Chunin level.
Simply put.
It was dangerous destructive power, held in the hands of a small child.
This perfectly matched Uzumaki Naruto's identity as a Jinchuriki... sealing the Nine-Tailed.
Pressing her lips together, thinking of the safety of everyone at the Orphanage and Kabuto, Yakushi Nonou could only carry out Danzo's orders...
Restroom.
"Naruto, I want to take you somewhere..."
As Yakushi Nonou said these words, an immense pain welled up in her heart.
The more she deceived this kind young man, the more her conscience tormented her.
"What place, Director?"
Naruto asked with a curious smile
