More and More Experience Babies

In an instant, the Rasenshuriken plummeted downward.

There was no suspense to be found, nor any so-called glimmer of hope.

Under the disbelieving gazes of Jiraiya and the others.

BOOM—

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion erupted amidst Sarutobi Akiyama and his group, resembling a brilliant, dazzling sphere of light. Within it, the ultimate power of wind intertwined, frantically shredding their bodies and leaving no path for survival.

Simultaneously, the violent shockwaves surged outward in all directions.

Wherever they passed, houses trembled and the earth crumbled.

Everyone within Konoha turned to look in that direction.

Shikamaru, who was elsewhere in the village, saw this and his expression tightened abruptly. "What is going on? What happened over there?!"

Beside him stood several figures, none other than Sakura and the rest of the Konoha 12.

They had come specifically to catch up with Naruto after hearing of his return.

Who would have expected that before even seeing Naruto, such a terrifying explosion would occur within the borders of Konoha!

A trace of unease rose in Sakura's heart, and she spoke up, "We should go over there and take a look!"

Hearing this, the others nodded with grave expressions before teleporting toward the site of the explosion.

At the same time, others in Konoha were also flooding toward the blast zone.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya and the others at the scene could only stop in their tracks, struggling to raise their hands to shield themselves from the aftermath of the explosion.

A moment later, the suffocating explosion slowly subsided.

[Wind Style: Rasenshuriken killed Sarutobi Akiyama, Okada Gencho..., Villain Points +169]

[Villain Points: 344]

"How absolutely wonderful," Naruto murmured, looking at the panel with a beaming smile.

To harvest so many Villain Points just from eating ramen.

Who wouldn't be overjoyed by such a stroke of good fortune?

Moreover, he had even granted these people a free passage to the Western Paradise; he was practically a living Buddha...

Before Naruto could collect his thoughts.

WHOOSH—

Jiraiya flashed forward in an instant, arriving at Naruto's side. He stared with wide eyes at the devastated ground, where not even the remains of the people from moments ago could be found.

His face turned as pale as paper. He grabbed Naruto's shoulders with both hands and roared at the top of his lungs, "Naruto, do you have any idea what you've done! Naruto!"

However.

A smile remained on Naruto's face, his eyes flickering. "Pervy Sage, they insulted me and stirred up painful memories. Sending them a Rasenshuriken to taste, that's not too excessive, is it?!"

"You... you..." Jiraiya looked as if he had been struck by lightning; his body trembled like a leaf in the wind, unable to even form words.

After all, Naruto was the Child of Prophecy he had gradually come to believe in!

And yet, he had committed such a shocking and monstrous act!

Tsunade and the others had also arrived at Naruto's side by now.

The people beside her were all pillars of Konoha, the elite among the Jonin.

Among them were Kakashi, Might Guy, and others.

But at this moment, their pupils contracted violently as they stared in disbelief at the carnage before them and the calm, composed Naruto.

Tsunade had already given a rough description of Naruto's current appearance on the way here.

Therefore, they could accept his drastically changed exterior.

They could also understand him mastering such a wide-range, high-damage ninjutsu.

But to slaughter dozens of Konoha citizens immediately upon his return was simply too horrifying!

Although Tsunade despised those who enjoyed attacking others with their words, she could not accept such a tragic and inhumane massacre!

This was, quite simply, one of the most terrifying incidents in Konoha since its founding!

More importantly, the majority of the dead were civilians!

Thinking of this, Tsunade's fury surged to her heart.

Unable to contain her rage, she shoved Jiraiya aside, grabbed Naruto by the collar, and berated him with a stern, harsh voice.

"Naruto, what kind of crooked, evil path have you been practicing these past three years to become so brutal! Didn't you swear on your life that you wanted to become Hokage?! Why would you commit such an inhumane act?!"

Having said that, Tsunade's heart felt as if it were being sliced by knives.

She had always viewed Naruto as the reincarnation of Nawaki, which was the very reason she had resolutely returned to serve as Hokage!

Yet, now that Naruto had killed so many people in front of everyone, how could she possibly shield him!

Even if Naruto were a Jinchuriki and spared from the death penalty, he would be shackled in heavy chains and imprisoned in endless darkness for the rest of his life!

"Granny Tsunade..." Naruto curled the corners of his mouth, pointing at the remains on the ground with a mocking smile. "I told you, if they curse me, I kill them!"

Before Tsunade could respond, the words hung in the air.

Kakashi, the jonin leader of Team 7, could no longer hold back. He stepped forward immediately, his tone anxious. "Naruto, stop talking nonsense! Lady Tsunade, there must be a misunderstanding!"

With that, he lunged forward, attempting to separate the two.

Seeing this, Naruto raised his eyes slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.

Kakashi was actually stepping up to defend him?!

But in an instant, Naruto realized the truth.

After all, during the battle at the Valley of the End three years ago, Kakashi had arrived too late to stop his students from killing each other.

And now, of Team Minato, only he remained.

Kakashi surely did not want to repeat the tragedy of Team Minato, which was why he had stepped out to plead his case...

Thinking of this, Naruto nodded slightly.

Kakashi wasn't bad; if a good opportunity arose in the future, he would definitely gouge out Obito's eye and gift it to him...

Obito: I...

"Tsunade, let's take him to the Hokage Building before making a final decision," Jiraiya said, his expression desolate.

Tsunade suppressed the rage in her heart. To prevent the situation from escalating, she nodded. "Fine."

Immediately, she prepared to lead Naruto toward the Hokage Building.

Kakashi and the other elite jonin surrounded them tightly to prevent any further mishaps.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

The civilians who had not been close enough to witness the scene and had escaped the disaster now surged forward like a tidal wave.

One by one, they wore expressions of fury, spitting as they shouted their accusations.

"Lord Hokage, the demon fox has gone mad! Execute him at once!"

"That's right! He dared to slaughter so many Konoha brethren; he deserves to die no matter what!"

"If you don't bring him to justice right here and now, we will go to the Land of Fire Daimyo Palace to impeach you!"

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, impossible to suppress.

At the same time, more and more ninja were flooding in from the distance.

The faces of Tsunade and the others turned incredibly grim.

The worst-case scenario had occurred; the situation was now out of control...

However, in stark contrast to their expressions, Naruto's eyes glittered with excitement, and he couldn't help but grin.

Another wave of bountiful experience points!

Just as Tsunade prepared to order the Anbu to forcibly disperse the surrounding crowd, those three pivotal old fogies finally appeared.

In the distance, footsteps echoed.

Tap, tap—

Shimura Danzō, like an aging ox, leaned on his cane. Followed closely by the other two advisors, he hobbled through the crowd and arrived before them.

At the same time, a series of piercing sounds of wind being broken erupted all around.

The next moment.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Hundreds of Root ninja suddenly appeared on the scene, surrounding the area so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through!

That's right—having heard the news of Naruto killing Konoha civilians at his base, Danzō was as excited as a crazed beast!

Because with a jinchuriki acting like this, no one would be able to stop him from taking the boy away and seizing control!

Therefore, the Root had mobilized in full force!

They were determined to capture the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto!

"Tsunade, the jinchuriki has lost control. It should be handed over to me."

"So much experience... this is going to be heavenly!"
