Naruto had grown used to Sasuke and Sakura's shock.
A twelve-year-old Hokage—being shocked was only natural!
He patiently explained why he had become the Fifth Hokage, as well as how he had killed Hiruzen Sarutobi, the elder advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, and Root's leader, Shimura Danzō.
"Good riddance!"
Upon hearing Naruto's account, Sasuke immediately slammed a hand onto the table in excitement. Hiruzen Sarutobi had been killed by Orochimaru before Sasuke could get to him during the Chunin Exams. Not being able to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi himself had become one of Sasuke's regrets.
Fortunately, he had killed Shimura Danzō with his own hands.
After defecting from Konoha, he had constantly sought to destroy everything in Konoha. During the Five Kage Summit, he had gone there intending to kill Shimura Danzō and disrupt the summit, but Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, had kept him tied up. Not only had he failed to kill Shimura Danzō, he had also fallen into danger.
Fortunately, Black Zetsu and the Masked Man, Obito Uchiha, had arrived in the end and saved Sasuke's life.

Back then, Naruto and Sasuke had both been young and ignorant of the world. If
