Assaulting Danzō

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

Sakura Haruno straightened her back. Now that she'd made money, her words carried more weight. "How could I possibly rob someone?"

This terrified her father. "Not robbing, but you can't possibly go..."

Sakura Haruno: "..."

Then, Sakura Haruno explained.

Only then did he realize his daughter had gone with Naruto to take photos.

And she'd only been busy for a little over a month.

She'd brought back enough silver to last a lifetime.

The photos of pure and cute young boys on the market were all from Sakura Haruno's hands!

After Sakura Haruno finished explaining.

Her father no longer cared, only pride remained in his heart.

He couldn't help but be impressed.

Were young people this outrageous nowadays?

He'd worked himself to death his entire life and barely managed to raise a family.

Yet his daughter, with a single word, achieved financial freedom in a month.

How could he not be impressed?

However, Sakura Haruno's mother frowned upon hearing this.

She stared at Sakura Haruno with a strange look, feeling she knew her daughter far too little.

Because...

She was also one of the collectors of Sasuke's photos.

And the poses designed for Sasuke's photos...

Unless someone was extremely lewd, they couldn't possibly design them.

Thus, Sakura Haruno's mother felt as if she was meeting her daughter for the first time.

After distributing the money.

The Naruto-Sakura Company was dissolved.

Naruto wasn't interested in the subsequent profits.

Because money was only useful if you had enough.

But now that he had so much money, someone was bound to know.

So, Naruto was summoned to the Hokage's office by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, as usual, was puffing on his pipe, clouds of smoke swirling around him.

He said to Naruto with deep concern, "Naruto, you're still young. Having so much money in your hands could lead to reckless spending."

Naruto listened and smiled with keen interest, hinting, "Are you saying I should deposit the money somewhere?"

"Ahem~" Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Naruto, "The village's funds have been a bit tight recently..."

Naruto feigned deep sorrow. "Really? That is truly a sad fact."

But...

After he said that, there was nothing more.

Hiruzen Sarutobi waited for a long time, but Naruto didn't offer to help.

His old face flushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

A hint of cunning flashed in Naruto's eyes, and he suddenly said, "Since the village's funds are tight, I can't just stand by and do nothing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart leaped with joy.

But who knew, Naruto then changed his tune. "Regarding the inheritance left by my parents, I can postpone claiming it for three months. This is the contribution I can make to Konoha. Long live the Will of Fire!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "?"

Naruto politely bowed to Hiruzen Sarutobi and took his leave. "Then, it's settled. Lord Hokage, I'll come to claim it in three months. I hope the village's funds won't be so tight by then."

With that, Naruto turned and left, giving Hiruzen Sarutobi no chance to call him back.

As if!

My money is my money.

Why should I give it to the village according to your wishes?

Even if I can't spend it all, why should I donate it for free?

And this is money I worked hard to earn. Do you think it just fell from the sky?

Not asking you for my parents' inheritance is already me not wanting to fall out with you.

Not long after Naruto left the Hokage's office.

Danzo paid a visit to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As soon as he entered, he shouted at Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Hiruzen, Naruto Uzumaki secretly resealed the Nine-Tails within himself, and he's hiding it. He has ill intentions!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious. "Danzo, don't act rashly. At least Naruto hasn't shown any dislike for the village yet."

"Hiruzen, I've said it before, Jinchuriki should be controlled to be safe!" Danzo criticized loudly. "If it weren't for you back then, how could the Jinchuriki have gotten out of control now?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.

Danzo was right.

But if Hiruzen Sarutobi had another chance to choose.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would still choose to prevent Danzo from interfering in Naruto's affairs.

Because this was Hiruzen Sarutobi's promise to Minato Namikaze.

It was also the bottom line he held.

The two old men were confronting each other.

But they were interrupted.

It turned out Naruto had returned...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed slightly, and he asked Naruto, "Little Naruto, why are you back?"

"Well~" Naruto scratched his head sheepishly. "I heard someone was trying to harm me, so I came to take a look."

As he spoke, Naruto's clear gaze fell on Danzo.

Danzo inexplicably felt a chill.

Even though Naruto showed no malice, it sent shivers down his spine.

Naruto smiled faintly, his pupils reflecting Danzo's image.

This old bastard was the mastermind behind everything.

If you are a ninja, and you encounter something bad.

But you can't find out who did it.

Then don't hesitate.

It's him!

The First Hokage, Shimura Danzō!

A hint of gloom flashed in Danzo's only exposed eye. He said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "See? The Jinchuriki is now beyond your control."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you are wrong. Leave the rest to me!"

"Danzo, don't be rash!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted to stop him.

But Danzo clearly could ignore Hiruzen Sarutobi's authority as Hokage.

Danzo said to Naruto, "Naruto Uzumaki, I'll give you two choices now."

"First, hand over two hundred million silver."

"Second, hand over the Nine-Tails!"

Naruto looked at Danzo, his smiling expression replaced with an apologetic tone. "I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, I choose three."

Poof!!!

"Aaaah!!"

Danzo felt a blur before his eyes, and the eye that was covered felt a sharp pain.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted violently, his heart nearly stopping from shock.

Naruto... attacked Danzo???

And his speed was so fast.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't react!

Could it be the Flying Thunder God?

No, it wasn't the Flying Thunder God.

It was just the most ordinary Body Flicker Technique of Konoha.

But his Body Flicker Technique was masterful, combined with the boost from his terrifying chakra.

This caused Naruto's movement when using the Body Flicker Technique to even create a sonic boom.

Too fast...

Danzo knelt on one knee, covering his bleeding, empty eye with one hand, staring at Naruto with a ferocious expression.

"You dare attack me? Hiruzen Sarutobi, you saw it, didn't you? The Jinchuriki can no longer be controlled. Are you still going to hesitate?"

At this moment, Danzo secretly made a subtle gesture to the Root members accompanying him, telling them not to come out.

Naruto ignored Danzō and complained, "We all live in the same village, can't we just get along? Why do we have to turn on each other~"

He could tolerate Hiruzen Sarutobi because Hiruzen only used soft tactics and posed no substantial threat to him.

Facing Hiruzen Sarutobi, Naruto could play the part of a well-behaved child who didn't exert himself.

But Danzō was different; he was a hawk and had even attacked Naruto.

It was one thing in the simulation, as the simulated character had nothing to do with Naruto.

But to be caught red-handed by Naruto in reality, he definitely couldn't let it slide.
