The next day, early morning.
It had been bright for a while.
Today is the day to receive Root.
Naruto came to the hot spring and picked up Karin, who was not familiar with Konoha.
"Naruto!"
When we first arrived, we saw Karin, but unexpectedly there were two familiar figures.
Who else could it be, naturally his good teammates Sasuke and Sakura.
"Sasuke? Sakura?"
"Aren't you going to go on a mission with us?"
Sasuke hesitated for a moment and finally asked the doubts in his heart.
Just now, he had a brief conversation with the girl named Karin and learned that Naruto had become the leader of a mysterious organization called "Root".
Jonin was just promoted yesterday, and today he became the leader of an organization.
This astonishing change made Sasuke feel strongly uneasy in his heart!
In the future, can they still perform tasks side by side as before?
Immortal Land Can I still go?
The most important thing is
Will that friendship and bond be broken because of this?
Although Sasuke is unwilling to admit it easily, this guy Naruto has already occupied an irreplaceable position in his life!
Naruto didn't seem to notice the turbulence in his heart, and his expression remained as usual.
"I won't go today. Karin and I are pressed for time, so we need to take a step ahead!"
After saying that, Naruto took Karin and turned around to leave.
Just after taking two steps, behind him, the voice of Sasuke sounded again, with a hint of imperceptible tension.
"Can we still perform missions together in the future?"
Naruto turned around when he heard the sound and looked at his two teammates happily.
But a trace of emotion passed through my heart: Sukeko, Sakurako, there is already a sadly thick barrier between us!
Do you understand the value of leader Root Organization?
But going on a mission together?
sure!
He can't stay at Konoha forever, right?
However, seeing Sasuke's serious look, a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Naruto's face.
"In the future? It depends on my mood. After all, I am already Jonin."
There was a bit of constriction in his tone.
"This guy"
Looking at Naruto's retreating figure, Sasuke couldn't help but grit his teeth!
Is this the world of Jonin?
A strong sense of urgency seized him!
If he doesn't keep up with Naruto, his cultivation progress will be greatly reduced!
At this moment,
Sasuke's inner desire for power has never been so hot!
He must become Jonin as soon as possible!
Three years no, one year! I, Sasuke, must become Jonin!
on the other side,
Naruto is taking Karin along the Konoha street slowly Earth Flow.
While helping Karin get familiar with Konoha, he also gave Root Organization time to gather.
Not far away, Naruto keenly caught a familiar figure.
At the corner of the intersection ahead, the iconic silver-haired figure was lazily leaning against the wall, holding a copy of "Make-Out Paradise" in his hand, reading "concentrated".
Although Kakashi seemed to be immersed in it, Naruto was convinced that there was a nine to ten thousand chance that this teacher came all the way to see him!
"Kakashi-sensei?"
Naruto led Karin forward and said hello.
Kakashi put down the book, his eyes first glanced at Naruto, then stayed on Karin's face for a moment, and finally locked firmly on Naruto.
Those pair of dead fish eyes that always looked lazy and unfocused in the past, now rarely revealed a deep worry that could no longer be concealed!
"Naruto,"
Kakashi's voice was low, with a trace of imperceptible fatigue, "I heard that you are going to take over Root Organization soon?"
After learning the news last night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night!
Root Organization!
Just this name is enough to bring back that unbearable memory dominated by dark and cold rules!
Although the culprit Shimura Danzō has defected, the existence of the root itself is like a haze, shrouding his heart!
Especially when he thought that Uzumaki Naruto, the sunny boy who carried the future of Konoha, was about to become the helmsman of this organization, an unspeakable panic enveloped him!
He could not imagine that Ruogen's abyss-like darkness would completely blacken the pure white paper of Naruto, and would bring irreversible disaster to Konoha and even the entire world.
What a terrible sight that would be!
Kakashi stared at the beloved disciple in front of him with complicated eyes, "Root Organization The water is very deep. Naruto you, please don't step too deep."
He can't stop Hokage's arrangement.
This is the only advice he can give!
"Kakashi-sensei, I understand." Naruto said in a relaxed tone, with his usual confidence.
It seems that what he is about to take over is just a small and insignificant society!
"You"
Kakashi There are thousands of words, but suddenly I can't say them out.
He silently made up his mind!
From now on, he must always keep a close eye on Root Organization, supervise and correct this disciple, this Konoha's future light of hope.
"You must be careful! Remember! The teacher will be behind you and watching you all the time."
"Yeah."
Naruto nodded in confusion, but felt a little bit dumbfounded in his heart.
It's passed, Kakashi-sensei, it's passed.
Could it be that this Root Organization is a dragon in a tiger's den?
It's just a small Root, isn't it easy to handle?
Upon thinking of this, Naruto's face instantly burst into a bright smile, and he gave a thumbs up to Kakashi.
The voice was loud and full of confidence. "Don't worry Kakashi-sensei! Little Root Organization will definitely win!"
After saying goodbye to Kakashi, Naruto moved on with Karin.
Before they had gone far, Karin couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked softly, "Naruto-kun, what are Root Organization?"
As a new arrival, she was unfamiliar with this name.
But she keenly captured the deep concern expressed in the words of the teacher Jonin just now.
"Root Organization."
Naruto pondered for a moment. In fact, he didn't know much about Root Organization and had never heard of it before.
However, with the memory of Danzo, no one understands Root Organization better than him.
In my memory, this root is not a good place.
But it will be made new in his hands.
So, he raised a hopeful smile and said to Karin, "In the future, it will become the protector of Konoha in the dark!"
"Protector?"
Karin murmured and repeated this word, solemnly carving it into his heart.
At the same time, she quietly turned her head and secretly looked at Naruto's side face, which was particularly handsome in the morning light.
The little deer in my heart collides: It is indeed Naruto-kun! About to lead such an important organization! Kaku one!
Naruto naturally sensed Karin's adoring gaze.
But he didn't care. What he cared about was Root Organization, which was arriving next.
Continue to look through the memories of Danzo.
The so-called "root" people have no names and no emotions; no past and no future.
Each of them is like a carefully polished cold tool, deprived of their humanity through inhumane training, and eventually reduced to a walking zombie who only knows how to obey orders.
After decades of iteration in the entire organization, almost every member was hand-selected by Danzo, brainwashed from an early age, and brutally trained!
He watched everyone grow up, and their loyalty to Danzo has long been engraved in their bones!
What kind of organization is Konoha here?
It is clearly the private army of Shimura Danzō!
It is his own kingdom!
The wind can't blow it, and the water can't splash it!
Recalling this point, Naruto finally understood why Third Old Man showed that meaningful and even "sinister" smile in the first place.
That old fox, I'm afraid he's not testing himself with this!
He even predicted that he, a 12-year-old child, would never be able to tame this iron-blooded army that was loyal to only one person!
However, the corner of Naruto's mouth curled up with a hint of contempt.
who is he?
Uzumaki Naruto!
Even the Kyuubi can be subdued, so what's the difficulty with just an organization?
It's so easy!
It is estimated that the steps are similar to the steps to conquer Gamabunta.
so-called,
Treat him to a guest, behead him, and accept him as a dog, all in three steps!
It can be simplified.
Directly: behead him, accept him as a dog!
He wanted to see how hard the bones of these brainwashed "tools" could be!
What's more, these people are so loyal to Danzo, Naruto is confident that he has more subtle ways to control them!
at the same time.
Deep underground in Konoha, inside the Root Organization base, which is like a huge ant nest and buried in darkness, the atmosphere is extremely strange!
Ever since the news of Shimura Danzō's defection came, the entire Root Organization has fallen into unprecedented chaos and confusion.
At first, the members couldn't believe it!
Although this kind of thing was unheard of, Gen's logic told them that Mr. Danzo must have pretended to defect for some top-secret mission.
Until, Anbu elites arrived at Gen's base.
At that moment, the root of the sky suddenly collapsed.
Master Danzo really betrayed Konoha?
Then Root Organization announced its dissolution.
Most of the members scattered like fallen leaves, either returned home and fell silent, or were merged into the Anbu system.
A core few are forced to undergo rigorous investigation and surveillance.
Just when all the root members were heartbroken and thought that the organization was completely dead, they and their dreams would also disappear like ghosts.
Yesterday, a cold summons, like a boulder thrown into stagnant water, woke everyone up.
Ask them to return to the root base today to gather!
At this moment, in a dark passage leading to the main conference room.
Two figures were walking quickly.
"Raccoon dog, do you know the purpose of this emergency call?"
Leopard asked in a low voice, with a hint of unnoticeable nervousness in his tone.
"It must be Master Danzo who is back!"
The face of the person who answered instantly burst into a red light of uncontrollable excitement, "I knew that Mr. Danzo's defection was definitely a fake. It must have been a desperate ruse to cooperate with Konoha's top-secret operation!
Now that the mission is completed, Master Danzo is back as the natural king! "
"Is this really the case with Tanuki?"
Leopard looked at his enthusiastic expression, but there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and his voice was a little weaker.
Shigaraki Tanuki stopped suddenly, stared at the leopard with burning eyes, and said firmly in his voice, "This must be the case! Otherwise, what other reason could there be?!"
His heart was already overwhelmed with ecstasy!
If Lord Danzo comes back, not only will Root Organization be resurrected, but his crucial research that was interrupted will also be able to continue.
With this ardent expectation, Shigaraki Tanuki unconsciously walked a little faster.
The two of them continued to move forward. The closer they got to the conference room, the more people gathered in the passage.
They asked each other in low voices, but they couldn't get any definite information.
However, Shigaraki Tanuki's fanatical argument of "Danzo's return" was like a spark thrown into dry wood, quickly igniting the hope in the hearts of most members.
It has been widely recognized and echoed.
Until they met a group of people on the road.
The leader is none other than Yamanaka Fu.
Leopard's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Feng, do you have any definite news here? How is Master Danzo?"
Yamanaka Fu, who was taking the lead, glanced at the person, and after recognizing who it was, he shook his head slightly.
He was also a little confused at this time.
He was taken away for questioning a few days ago. He relied on the protection of his family to avoid making things difficult for him, but was placed under house arrest.
He suddenly received this mysterious summons last night, and he was confused at the moment!
"It must be Master Danzo who is back!"
Shigaraki Tanuki once again used his rhetoric.
This time, several members following Yamanaka Fu also had many echoes.
"That's right, Master Danzo must be back, otherwise why would you call us?"
"Root Organization is about to be resurrected. Only Master Danzo is qualified to lead us!"
"That's right. Only Master Danzo is the soul leader of Root Organization. Only Master Danzo can lead us and make Konoha great forever!"
Glancing at this group of people with fanatical beliefs burning in their eyes and excitement, Yamanaka Fu couldn't help but nod gently along with the crowd even though he was worried.
He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and agreed, "That's right, let's go and greet Mr. Danzo!"
As the group continued to move forward, they continued to encounter more members of "Root" who had the same enthusiasm and expectations.
They formed an undercurrent and rushed towards the main conference room that symbolized the core of power.
Finally, when everyone stepped into the spacious but cold conference room, they saw a heavyweight senior-Aburame Ryoma.
His appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Senior Ryoma, is Master Danzo back?"
As the veteran of Root Organization, Aburame Ryoma was immediately surrounded by a fanatical crowd as soon as he showed up!
"Danzo?"
Aburame Ryoma frowned slightly, a trace of imperceptible complexity flashed in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he chose to hide it.
"It's not clear yet."
Danzo defected. When he learned the news, he consulted two consultants.
I even contacted Third Hokage directly about this, and the answer was exactly the same.
Shimura Danzō defected!
Not only because of Sharingan on the arm, but also because of Shimura Danzō himself who defected on his own initiative.
The moment he learned the truth, Aburame Ryoma felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cave.
He followed Danzo because he couldn't stand Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods. He firmly believed that only this person's ideas could lead Konoha to true glory!
Whether it is Sharingan or Uchiha Clan Downfall, he executes it without reservation and firmly believes in the choice of Shimura Danzō.
But in the end, Shimura Danzō actually chose to defect.
This made Aburame Ryoma feel deeply disillusioned and disappointed!
"Then why are we summoned?"
"It must be Master Danzo who is back!"
Someone in the crowd shouted out Shigaraki Tanuki's heartfelt voice first.
Shigaraki Tanuki's face instantly burst into a bright smile.
Sure enough, I am not the only one, the entire Root has rock-like loyalty to Lord Danzo.
"Yes, Master Danzo must be back!" He responded excitedly.
"If Lord Danzo doesn't come back, someone else will take over Root!"
A voice sounded timidly.
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes focused on the source of the sound.
Sai only felt that he would be torn to pieces by these eyes in the next second.
It was the elder brother who reacted very quickly. He stood up in one stride, stretched out his hand to block his younger brother behind him, and used his body to block the gnawing sight.
"Xin, you should discipline your brother!"
"Listen to what nonsense he is talking about? How can Root be taken over by someone else? There is only one sun! That is Lord Danzo!"
Shigaraki Tanuki's impassioned declaration immediately resonated with the audience.
Most of them had red faces, wild eyes, and raised their arms and shouted!
They have been brainwashed and trained under the shadow of Danzo since childhood, and that twisted loyalty has long been integrated into their bones.
"That's right! There will always be only one leader of Root, and that is Master Danzo!"
Aburame Ryoma looked on with cold eyes.
His eyes swept over the faces distorted by fanaticism, and his heart felt cold!
He knew that most of these people were kept in the dark, but he didn't bother to point it out.
He is also curious about the truth behind today's mysterious gathering!
Suddenly, Aburame Ryoma's body stiffened suddenly.
Because in his body, those Kikaichūs that coexisted with him and were always active, collectively fell into deathly silence without warning!
Even trembling.
They fear the coming, irresistible presence.
This unprecedented change made Aburame Ryoma's alarm bells ring instantly.
He turned his head suddenly, his sharp eyes like a falcon, locked on the closed door of the conference room!
Squeak——
When there was a commotion inside the door, the door behind was slowly pushed open.
As if pressing the Shizune key, all sounds in the conference room disappeared instantly.
Hundreds of eyes were focused on the door.
With almost pious expectations.
Is it Master Danzo?!
However, what disappointed and even shocked everyone was that a figure wearing a Anbu mask appeared at the door.
I saw him step aside and respectfully make a guiding gesture. "Lord Naruto, this is it."
Immediately, a blond boy wearing a black trench coat, with a smile as warm as the sun on his face, calmly stepped into this space shrouded in fanaticism and darkness.
He said to the Anbu gently, "Thank you for your hard work! Say hello to old man Hokage for me when you get back! Just say that I received his 'gift'!"
Hokage old man-_-||
This was such a casual address that a drop of cold sweat instantly fell from Anbu's forehead.
He subconsciously glanced inside the conference room, where the excited Root members had just shouted enthusiastically, and he could hear them clearly even through the door.
Danzo Master
This group of people.
"Lord Naruto, do you want your subordinates to stay and maintain order?" Anbu lowered his voice and signaled.
"No need."
Naruto didn't even look back, his voice was plain but with unquestionable power. "Here, just leave it to me."
"As you command!"
Thinking of the terrifying strength of the adult in front of him that could subvert common sense, Anbu's doubts disappeared.
He exchanged a knowing look with several Anbu who were traveling with him, and then turned around and left!
"It's actually this person!"
Aburame Ryoma suddenly came back to his senses, his mind was shocked.
This young man must be the source of so much fear among the bugs.
He knows Naruto.
During that horrific "Konoha Collapse Plan" event, the vast majority of Root members were strictly confined to the base, with only a few scouts allowed to move outside.
And he, Aburame Ryoma, with his unparalleled powerful detection ability, is one of the very few "eyes"!
Because of this, he was able to witness with his own eyes the scene of hell that he would never forget in his life——
This is Uzumaki Naruto,
How, with an almost crushing attitude, thousands of completely different yet powerful terrifying ninjutsus were used to bombard First Hokage and Second Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation bodies continuously for nearly an hour!
That picture that subverted Shinobi World's perception,
The absolute strength and bottomless Chakra contained in it made it difficult for him, a veteran elite who was used to seeing troubles, to accept and digest the fear that penetrated his bones for three days!
powerful!
Too strong!
He was convinced at that time that the future of Konoha would definitely be placed in this person's hands!
But he showed up at the root base today
What is the purpose?
Could it be
An incredible but extremely fitting idea suddenly appeared in his mind!
"Who is this guy?"
In the crowd, a voice whispered, expressing the confusion of most Root members.
"I haven't seen it, so I don't know."
The person being asked shook his head blankly.
Although "Shinobi World Daily" has covered every country in Shinobi World, and although Naruto's reputation is already well-known in Shinobi World, the coverage rate is not 100% after all.
What's more,
The root members gathered here are originally a group of eccentric, solitary beings who are outside the ordinary world!
They do not communicate with the outside world and are indifferent to information from the outside world.
It's perfectly normal not to recognize the famous young man in front of me!
Among the countless gazes that came together, those gazes were mixed with weirdness, curiosity, inquiry, and unabashed ferocity like scrutinizing the beast that broke into their territory!
Naruto was strolling around, ignoring all the stares.
With steady steps, he walked straight through the passage that separated the crowd and walked towards the high seat in the room that symbolized power and status!
Karin was also stared at by so many people like evil beasts. Although he was only affected, he felt a biting chill.
As if he was being targeted by countless hungry snakes, his heart was beating wildly in his chest.
Looking at Naruto's calm figure as usual, she just thought Naruto was so handsome!
After staring blankly at Naruto walking away, she finally woke up and quickly lowered her head to follow.
Everyone's eyes were closely following this strange blond boy in shock and confusion!
Most people are guessing, what is the purpose of this kid who was respectfully led by Anbu and seems to have just graduated from the Ninja Academy?
Could it be that you want to join Anbu?
When Naruto steps firmly onto the steps leading to the main seat,
Just as he was about to sit on the seat that symbolized the supreme authority of Danzo
"Hey! Where did this little brat come from?
I don't know how high the sky and the earth are! Is that a seat you can sit in? "
An irrepressible voice suddenly exploded.
He shouted out the shock and anger stored in his heart for everyone.
"That's right! Why did Anbu send you here? Where is Mr. Danzo?"
Little brat?
Naruto paused slightly just as he was about to sit down, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a curve that looked like a smile but not a smile.
It seemed like I heard something extremely interesting.
The next second,
In the eyes of everyone who were either surprised, sneered, or angry, he turned around and sat directly on the main seat that symbolized power!
He looked calm and relaxed, as if he were in his own living room!
"Get off! This is not where you should be!"
"That seat is not for a brat like you!"
Seeing the blond boy, who was at most twelve years old, sitting down so casually in the exclusive seat for Master Danzo, the lowest defensive instincts of the entire Root members in the conference room seemed to be triggered.
It exploded instantly!
Countless voices full of anger and doubt swept in like a storm!
There were even a few hot-tempered ones, with fierce gleams in their eyes, and Chakra surging all over their bodies, and they were about to rush forward and tear this little brat who didn't know the heights of the world into pieces!
Naruto slowly raised his eyes.
Those blue eyes were so cold that it made people panic.
These ants have no desire for him to take action.
Forget it,
He raised his right hand casually, with his fingers slightly spread and his palm facing upward.
Buzz——
A ray of white light that was extremely pure but contained a destructive aura suddenly lit up from his palm.
Immediately afterwards,
The white light burst out suddenly!
Instantly condensed into an upside-down, huge cone.
The tapered tip is firmly placed in the palm of Naruto.
And that huge cone extends upward infinitely.
It easily penetrated the heavy ceiling above the head, penetrated the layers of rock and soil, and finally disappeared into the distant sky beyond the reach of everyone's sight!
As soon as this giant white cone hanging upside down appeared, a terrifying aura that was so fierce that it seemed to completely decompose and annihilate everything in the world into nothingness came suddenly!
Like an invisible giant hand, it strangled the throats of everyone present!
Those angry roars came to an abrupt end.
Those surging Chakra suddenly stagnated.
There was a dead silence in the conference room.
All that was left was the muffled sound of everyone's hearts beating against their chests like a drum.
Before everyone could recover from the suffocating pressure, the giant white cone hanging upside down suddenly erupted with a blazing light that could blind the eyes.
A sudden flash!
The next moment,
Everyone felt a chill on their heads.
An unprecedented sense of emptiness instantly enveloped the whole body.
Some people subconsciously looked up, and then their pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
The blood drained from his face.
I saw that the dome of the base, which was buried tens of meters deep underground and should have been shielded by thick rock formations and mountains, was gone at this moment.
The early morning sunshine pours down without any hindrance.
It illuminates this dark corner that has never seen the light of day.
And the soil, rocks, and buildings that originally covered it, which were tens of meters or even nearly a hundred meters thick, were erased as if by the most precise eraser.
Completely disappeared without a trace!
No explosion!
No vibration!
Even,
Not a single trace of debris or dust was left behind!
It's like they never existed.
this!!!
What kind of incredible power is this?
Is this really something humans can do in an instant?
The conference room that was noisy just now can now be heard!
It was as quiet as a library.
All Root members froze in place.
His face was full of extreme shock and sluggishness!
Their eyes, originally filled with ferocity and doubt, were now filled with only fear and confusion that penetrated their bones.
They all focused on the blond boy in the main seat.
In this suffocating silence, the calm voice of Naruto sounded.
"I know that you have countless questions in your mind, and there are many more things you want to tell me,"
Although the volume was not loud, it seemed to have some kind of magic power, forcing everyone to suppress their racing hearts and even hold their breath, just to hear every word he said clearly!
"Now I give you this opportunity. I will talk to you one by one in the dark room next to you."
Naruto stretched out his finger.
"The first one is you!"
Great Prison Finger points to the most enjoyable dance just now - Shigaraki Tanuki.
"Me?"
Shigaraki Tanuki's whole body trembled violently.
There is a kind of fear of being called by the god of death.
He froze in place in horror, his mind going blank.
After saying that, Naruto ignored everyone and stood up, turned around and walked into the dark room next to him.
Only Karin was left standing guard outside like the most loyal sentinel.
Shigaraki Tanuki stood there blankly like a puppet that had lost its soul.
He looked blankly at the door leading to the darkroom, then mechanically raised his head to look at the unobstructed and shocking blue sky!
Above the head, the thick existence of tens to nearly a hundred meters was erased so lightly.
this power
Gudong!
He swallowed with difficulty a mouthful of saliva that was almost frozen!
"Hey! What are you doing standing around? Naruto sama is still waiting for you inside!"
Karin's voice was filled with impatience.
"I me."
Shigaraki Tanuki's eyes for help swept towards his surrounding companions like a drowning man.
There are those who care and those who gloat.
But he was the only one who didn't stand up.
The terrifying white light that annihilated everything just now was like a sharp sword hanging above everyone's head.
At this moment, who dares to stand up?
As he tremblingly moved forward and reached the door of the darkroom, a voice came from behind him.
"Raccoon dog, remember, Master Danzo is watching you!"
Danzo
Thinking of that adult's figure, Shigaraki Tanuki's heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Be loyal to Lord Danzo!"
Immediately, he rushed into the dark room like a dead soldier rushing to the execution ground.
Three minutes passed.
In the deathly silence of waiting, it was as long as three centuries.
No one knows what happened behind that closed door!
Sudden!
There was a soft creak and the door opened!
Shigaraki Tanuki walked out of the darkroom slowly.
The decadent, fearful, and death-like expression of a bereaved dog just now completely disappeared, and was replaced by a bright smile.
This smile seemed to have light.
The whole person seems to have been completely transformed!
This completely different change confused everyone.
After a brief moment of dead silence, whispers spread like a plague.
"Rebellion! This guy is definitely traitorous!"
"Impossible, Shigaraki Tanuki is the most loyal to Lord Danzo." Leopard said firmly.
On the way here just now, Shigaraki Tanuki's impassioned declaration was still fresh in my mind.
Shigaraki Tanuki's loyalty to Lord Danzo is unquestionable.
But the man shook his head. Seeing that his words were doubted, Leopard asked loudly, "Shigaraki Tanuki, are you still loyal to Lord Danzo?"
Hearing this, Shigaraki Tanuki felt as disgusted as if he had eaten shit.
Immediately, he straightened his back suddenly, and his voice was loud and full of an almost holy enthusiasm.
"Danzo? Bah!
There are no two suns in the sky, and no two masters in the people. There is always only one sun in my heart, and that is the supreme Lord Naruto! "
?
When everyone was surprised.
He paused, as if he thought it was not enough, and added loudly in an almost flattering tone.
"I! Shigaraki Tanuki! I want to be Lord Naruto's most loyal dog!"
