Danzo's Conspiracy, Naruto Kidnapped

Jiraiya was currently rushing back to Naruto's home at top speed, with Senya following closely behind.

It had been just over an hour ago.

Danzo had already received word that Jiraiya had left Naruto's side.

He brought a Sealing Squad from Root to Naruto's home.

The Root ninja immediately surrounded Naruto's house.

They set up the Four Violet Flames Formation, cutting off all chakra connection to the outside world.

Jiraiya's shadow clone sensed the movement outside and was just about to dispel the technique to relay the information to his main body.

Suddenly, Danzo appeared behind Jiraiya's shadow clone using the Body Flicker Technique.

He placed his left hand on the shoulder of Jiraiya's shadow clone.

"Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal!"

Dense black runes immediately coiled around Jiraiya's shadow clone, binding the flow of chakra within the clone and freezing its movements.

"Jiraiya, it is too late. You cannot resist my curse seal technique with the mere chakra inside a shadow clone!"

At that moment, Jiraiya's shadow clone could not even utter a "damn it" before being completely restrained by the curse seal.

Naruto, who had already fallen asleep on the bed, was awakened by the commotion caused by Danzo and Jiraiya.

"Uncle Toad, what's going on? It's so noisy..."

Naruto rubbed his eyes and opened them to take a look.

He saw Jiraiya standing there motionless, his entire body bound by black, tadpole-like runes.

Behind him stood a grim-faced, terrifying old man, staring at him with predatory intent.

A wave of fear washed over him.

Just then, a gloomy, seductive voice suddenly echoed within Naruto's inner space.

"Naruto... do you desire power..."

"Naruto... do you want to save your teacher, Jiraiya..."

Naruto opened his eyes and found himself suddenly inside an underground sewer, the voice emanating from the depths.

His heart was filled with panic, but at the thought of Uncle Toad—his master—being in danger outside, he steeled his courage and stepped through the stagnant water, walking deep into the corridor where the voice originated.

Reaching the end, he saw a massive cage gate standing before him.

In the center of the gate was a paper seal bearing the character "Seal."

Suddenly!

A giant white claw lunged out from behind the iron bars! It gave Naruto a massive fright.

Naruto was startled, falling backward and collapsing onto the watery floor.

"Who are you! Why are you inside my body!"

Naruto asked instinctively.

Orange-red chakra bubbles continuously overflowed from between the iron bars of the cage, slowly enveloping Naruto.

A pair of giant, vertical red eyes appeared behind the bars, and a mouth filled with sharp teeth sneered, continuing to tempt Naruto.

"Brat! I'll let you off easy this time... let you have a taste of the sweetness first!"

Naruto's consciousness was gradually swallowed by the chakra bubbles, and he lost awareness.

Outside, Naruto suddenly snapped his eyes open!

His pupils had changed from their original azure blue to the blood-red of the Demon Fox; his irises were slit, the whisker marks on his face lengthened and thickened, his mouth widened, and his teeth began to sharpen.

The nails on his hands began to grow outward, becoming razor-sharp.

Orange-red chakra poured out from his navel, wrapping around him.

Pain flooded Naruto's entire body, and negative emotions of brutality, slaughter, and hatred began to spread through his heart.

The loneliness and darkness of his childhood threatened to drown him, just as Naruto was about to lose his consciousness.

"Hahaha, kid, how could I be scared by you! I am the legendary White-Haired Boy, the Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku! Lord Jiraiya, one of the Sannin! How could I be scared by a little brat like you? It was just the wasabi stinging my eyes."

"Teuchi, give this kid another super-deluxe bowl of chashu ramen. I'll treat him to one as well."

"Naruto, the noodles are still hot, eat slowly. If it's not enough, you can have another bowl."

"How about this? You take me as your master, I'll teach you how to train, and in return, I'll live at your place from now on. How does that sound?"

The little moments shared with Jiraiya allowed Naruto to recover the last shred of his sanity from the abyss.

"ROAR!"

An angry roar erupted from Naruto's throat!

"I won't allow it! I won't allow you to hurt Uncle Toad!!"

Naruto erupted into motion, a claw swiping directly at Danzo behind Jiraiya.

Seeing this, Danzo immediately used Body Flicker to dodge.

He stared at the rampaging Naruto before him, his eyes filled with greed and longing.

"That's right, this is the power! Such immense strength from just a sliver of Nine-Tails chakra leaking through the seal!"

"Hahaha! Hiruzen! The Nine-Tails jinchuriki is mine!"

"Sealing Squad! Move!"

At Danzo's command, twelve members of the Sealing Squad appeared around the perimeter of the room.

"Sealing Jutsu: Sealing Binding Formation!"

The scrolls in the twelve men's hands unfurled, lashing out to bind Naruto's limbs and neck!

In the blink of an eye, Naruto was wrapped up and hoisted into the air by the scrolls, with only his head left exposed.

The Nine-Tails chakra, which had been leaking through the cracks in the seal, was forcibly suppressed once more.

With a sharp pang of pain, Naruto reverted to his original form.

He continued to shout loudly.

"Someone, come save Uncle Toad! Save my master!"

Jiraiya's shadow clone, sealed by the curse technique, struggled desperately against Danzo's Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal.

However, relying solely on the shadow clone's chakra, it was impossible to break free, and it could only emit muffled whimpers.

Danzo formed a single-handed seal, and five types of chakra—Wind, Lightning, Earth, Fire, and Water—manifested on the fingers of his left hand.

"Five Elements Seal!"

He slammed his left hand directly onto Naruto's abdomen!

A burning sensation swept through Naruto's entire body from his stomach, and the sudden, intense pain caused him to lose consciousness instantly.

Danzo snatched Naruto up.

"Let's go!"

Outside the house, the Root ninja dissolved the Four Violet Flames Formation and followed in Danzo's wake as they departed.

Half an hour later, Jiraiya and Senya finally arrived at Naruto's home.

They looked at the wreckage filling the room.

The walls had been shredded by the leaking Nine-Tails chakra, the bricks beneath the plaster were cracked, and the mahogany floorboards were torn apart...

The shadow clone looked at the real Jiraiya with anxious eyes, struggling desperately.

Jiraiya used a kunai to stab the shadow clone bound in the room, and it vanished in a puff of smoke.

The memories flooded directly into Jiraiya's mind along with the dissipating chakra.

Jiraiya's expression turned instantly ferocious!

"Danzo! You damned old bastard! How dare you lay a hand on Naruto!"

"No! I have to go find the Old Man and get to the bottom of this! What is going on? Where did Danzo get the nerve to do something like this? Naruto was entrusted to me by the Old Man himself!"

"It's useless. I've already destroyed the Root base. Since Danzo has abducted Naruto, he will certainly go into hiding. I fear that the next time we see Naruto, it will be when Danzo moves against us Uchiha."

Jiraiya turned to see Senya's heavy expression and felt a pang of regret.

"You're right. It's useless to find the Old Man now. Given Danzo's personality, he will definitely hide."

"I'm sorry. I didn't look after Naruto well, letting him fall into Danzo's hands and dragging you Uchiha into this."

Senya shook his head.

"No, this isn't your fault. I didn't expect that Danzo would dare to target a jinchuriki just to deal with us Uchiha! You aren't the one at fault; Danzo is."

Looking at Jiraiya's apologetic face, Senya felt a slight sense of guilt himself; after all, it was his own plan that had led Jiraiya to this point.

He already had a plan for Jiraiya's future compensation: since I used you this time, as recompense, I'll find you a wife and ensure you stay alive.

That should make up for the debt I owe him this time...
