"Little Sleepyhead, The Sun's Already On Your Butt."

"What in the…"

Nara Shikaku stared dumbfounded at the doorway.

What the hell?!

Five blood-red tails and four dazzling Golden Chains snaked out like ghosts…

Could it be…

That Shimura Danzo was blasted away by these?!

"Five tails…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared blankly at the five blood-red tails.

Five-tailed Uzumaki Naruto!!!

He was only four-tailed before…

Not only could he control the tails, but he could even suppress himself from transforming into his Tailed Beast form…

"Gulp!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but swallow, staring intently at the door, as if some primordial beast was lurking deep within the dark room.

"Lord Hokage, what do we do now!?"

Nara Shikaku looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an inquiring gaze, and Sarutobi Hiruzen felt an urge to curse.

What should he do?

What could he do?

Shimura Danzo was already blasted away; do you expect me to go in?!

With his old bones, one hit like that would leave him crippled, if not dead…

Rumble…

The sound of falling rubble echoed.

The two stopped talking and looked over, just in time to see Shimura Danzo, face grim and furious, push away the bricks that had fallen on him.

"Damn it!!!"

"Hiruzen, I told you, we need to deal with Uzumaki Naruto…"

Before Shimura Danzo could finish, the five blood-red tails and four Golden Chains shot out from the doorway like meteors.

"What, again!?"

Shimura Danzo's expression changed drastically. He instinctively tried to dodge, but looking around, both the sky and the ground were covered by Golden Chains.

It was like a world of gold.

Or rather, like a golden birdcage that had tightly locked down every corner of the courtyard.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The five blood-red tails and four dazzling Golden Chains struck Shimura Danzo squarely in the chest.

A continuous attack.

Extremely fast, leaving trails of afterimages.

"Ah…"

Just as Shimura Danzo was about to roar, a Golden Chain directly pierced his mouth.

The blood-red tails and Golden Chains whipped like scourges.

Shimura Danzo's face contorted in pain. Unable to endure the humiliation any longer, a three-tomoe Sharingan under the bandages on his arm slowly closed.

A hazy white mist appeared.

An unharmed Shimura Danzo appeared nearby, clenching his fist, his face grim and ugly as he stared at the dark room.

"To think… I was forced to use Izanagi once…"

Though extremely angry, Shimura Danzo didn't dare to continue yelling insults. Even his movements became incredibly gentle.

It wasn't worth arguing with a rampaging Jinchuriki.

"What do we do, Hiruzen!?"

Shimura Danzo said in a deep voice, "The current Uzumaki Naruto has Nine-Tails' Chakra and Adamantine Chains, which means infinite Chakra and infinite firepower. Do we go in now!?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows furrowed.

You don't dare to go in, so why would I?

What if entering the room agitated Uzumaki Naruto, causing the Nine-Tailed Fox to completely go berserk?

Suddenly.

Footsteps sounded from within the room.

All three simultaneously narrowed their eyes, turning sharply to look at the room's entrance.

"He's out…"

Footsteps echoed through the dim room. A moment later, Uzumaki Naruto, with his crimson eyes, appeared in the doorway.

Uzumaki Naruto placed his right hand on the doorframe, his blood-red eyes coldly sweeping over the few people in the courtyard.

"It's Lord Hokage and Shikamaru's dad…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Uzumaki Naruto was still conscious. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Uzumaki Naruto ask coldly, "Who was yelling and making all that noise just now? It was so annoying! Don't you know Hinata and I were sleeping!?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed.

Uzumaki Naruto's tone… was so cold…

Shimura Danzo's face turned ashen. He stepped forward, looking grimly at Uzumaki Naruto. "Uzumaki Naruto, do you know what you've done!?"

"Invading the Hyuga Clan? Are you trying to defect from Konoha Village?"

Uzumaki Naruto tilted his head slightly, not answering Shimura Danzo. Instead, he spoke coldly, "I told you, someone inside is sleeping. You're making too much noise…"

"Adamantine Chains!"

Uzumaki Naruto slightly raised a hand, and four Golden Chains, as if receiving a command, shot towards Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo's expression changed drastically. Without a word, he quickly began to retreat.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"

A highly compressed blast of cold wind spewed from Shimura Danzo's mouth, but without exception, all of it was effortlessly shattered by the Golden Chains.

"Damn it…"

Shimura Danzo cursed.

He continuously flickered using the Body Flicker Technique, always managing to evade the Golden Chains' pursuit at the last possible moment.

Before Shimura Danzo could even breathe a sigh of relief, over a dozen blood-red claws suddenly shot out from Uzumaki Naruto's back, like the sharp claws of the Nine-Tailed Fox, fiercely swatting at Shimura Danzo.

"Nine-Tails Chakra…"

"He can control it to this extent…"

Cold sweat continuously trickled down Shimura Danzo's face. He gritted his teeth, deciding not to resist, allowing the Golden Chains to send him flying.

"BOOM!!!"

After a loud bang, Shimura Danzo's body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the net formed by the Golden Chains.

"Ugh!"

Shimura Danzo spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body once again transformed into mist, disappearing from the courtyard.

"Izanagi!?"

Uzumaki Naruto coldly watched the spot where Shimura Danzo had vanished.

What a glitchy ability.

It can turn unfavorable events that happened within a certain period into something that never occurred, only manifesting what's beneficial to him as reality.

Shimura Danzo still has at least four Sharingan on his arm, which means he can activate Izanagi at least four more times…

As expected, I can't kill him now…

Withdrawing his gaze, Uzumaki Naruto calmly stated, "Little Hinata and I are resting. Don't disturb us."

"BANG!"

The door closed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was unpredictable.

But in the end, he chose not to force his way in. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Let's wait and see."

The wait lasted an entire day and night.

At noon the next day, Little Hinata finally opened her eyes. In her confusion, she reached out and embraced Uzumaki Naruto beside her.

She seemed to treat Uzumaki Naruto as a pillow, rubbing against him twice with force.

Uzumaki Naruto smiled, gently pinched Little Hinata's small nose, and whispered in her ear, "You little sleepyhead, the sun's already hitting your butt."
