It was because I had failed to take good care of Naruto.
I should be the one apologizing to you about this..."
"Third Hokage..."
Kushina said apologetically, "I want to reveal Naruto's identity.
That way, perhaps more people will acknowledge him..."
"No~"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. "Your idea is good.
But now isn't the right time.
Revealing it now might have the opposite effect.
Besides, his identity as a Jinchuriki might also be discovered by other ninja villages.
I suggest we keep it secret for the time being.
Once he has been acknowledged by everyone, we can announce the news.
That way.
The goodwill everyone already has toward him will increase even more because of their guilt."
"That works too~"
Kushina nodded.
"Then..."
"I know you want to see Naruto, but go get your body examined first..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "That way, you'll feel more at ease too.
What if someone wants to use you to make the Nine-Tails inside Naruto run wild?
That would be disastrous."
"You're right!"
Kushina nodded. "Third Hokage, I heard you were injured..."
"It's nothing serious."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.
"To die for the village is an honor for a Hokage!
Go on, get your body examined first~"
"Old Man Third is amazing~
His Talk no Jutsu is invincible!
Could it be that the Hokage's Secret Technique is Talk no Jutsu?"
At the same time.
Bai Hao put away the crystal ball.
He had been using Telescopic Jutsu to watch this entire show.
Although he could not hear anything.
He could still sense how powerful the Third Hokage's Talk no Jutsu was just by watching the images.
"Karin and the others will be back the day after tomorrow.
That's great~
My Diamond Cards are ready too.
I just don't know whether they'll suit them."
During this period, he had obtained a large number of Plot Points.
He had used all these Plot Points for draws.
Although he had not drawn anything particularly good.
He had directly synthesized three Diamond Cards.
Thinking of this, Bai Hao took out the three Diamond Cards.
He began playing with them in his hand.
[Zekrom (Diamond): After use, you will obtain the Zekrom Sprite and become the Zekrom Jinchuriki.

Nearby compatible character: Yakumo Kurama]
"Very nice~"
Bai Hao played with the cards in his hand for a while before putting them away.
"Yakumo Kurama.
Looks like I need to make arrangements for this little girl."
Kushina's physical examination ended very quickly.
The conclusion, however, was somewhat baffling.
"No problems at all?"
The four members of Konoha's upper echelon stared blankly at the report in their hands.
At that moment, they could not understand.
Who exactly had revived Kushina.
Why had that person revived Kushina?
They had gone to such great lengths to revive her, yet had done nothing else.
What exactly were they trying to do?
They could not figure it out.
"Could it be that person is so powerful that we're unable to detect any problems with Kushina's body?"
Danzo spoke with a frown. "Yes, that must be it.
I suggest we continue isolating and restraining Kushina.
Let's observe her carefully before making any decisions!"
"I don't think that's necessary."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. "Since this person could revive Kushina.
And could even leave a seal inside Kushina using such an advanced method.
That shows.
That person is extremely powerful.
With that person's strength, destroying our Konoha would be incredibly easy.
Therefore.
We don't need to be so cautious."
After hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.
The other three fell silent.
They had always believed Konoha was the most powerful ninja village in the world.
All the world's strongest ninja came from Konoha.
Yet now they had discovered...
An unknown, terrifyingly powerful figure with unknown motives had appeared out of nowhere.
It was truly unsettling.
"Besides...
I feel that person might be the Holy Lord of the Black-Clad Organization."
After hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.
The other three's eyes lit up at the same time.
They suddenly felt that it might really be possible.
"Although we don't know what this Holy Lord intends to do.
However.
Judging from how he killed Orochimaru with a single palm strike.
He should have favorable feelings toward Konoha.
Therefore, I think we don't need to restrict Kushina."
The three exchanged glances.
Only then did they nod together.
After the Konoha higher-ups discussed the matter.
Kushina finally regained her freedom.
She quickly ran to Naruto's home, took a deep breath, and gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
A lazy voice came from inside the room.
Clearly, Naruto had only just gotten up.
"It's already eleven in the morning, and he's only just gotten up..."
A "#" symbol appeared on Kushina's forehead.
"Open the door!
Naruto!"
"Uh..."
With a piece of bread in his mouth and his eyes still clouded with sleep, Naruto opened the door.
