Methods for Dealing with the Uchiha Clan

Naruto's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything more.

If he went all out, the current Naruto would be able to defeat his opponent.

However, doing so would expose the fact that he knew ninjutsu. One had to remember that Naruto was still at the Ninja Academy; it would be very troublesome if it were revealed that he could use ninjutsu.

"Does the brat have no other moves?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

"Is this not enough, Lady Tsunade?"

Naruto was a bit puzzled.

"Not enough. If this is all you have, then I can't be bothered to go back and take on that mess."

Naruto frowned for a moment, unsure if Tsunade was speaking the truth or not.

In his past life, Naruto was just an ordinary corporate slave with no experience in dealing with people.

Therefore, he couldn't tell if Tsunade was being genuine.

But since he didn't know, he would just have to show her something.

"Since Lady Tsunade wants to see, I have one more move."

"Let's see it then."

Tsunade became a little interested.

Moreover, Tsunade was genuinely curious about Naruto. After all, he had mastered the power of the Nine-Tails, which proved that he held the power of a nuclear bomb. The strength of the Nine-Tails was plain for all to see; both the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage had passed away because of it.

Tsunade did not yet know that Naruto only had half of the Nine-Tails inside him.

So, Naruto's performance just now had been somewhat disappointing to her.

She had originally just wanted to provoke him, but she hadn't expected the kid to have a trick up his sleeve.

[Nine-Tails]

Naruto pressed his palms together, and the golden chakra on his body instantly spread in all directions.

"This is Tailed Beast transformation."

Tsunade's pupils constricted.

In the blink of an eye, the golden chakra formed a massive Nine-Tails.

And Naruto was right in the center of it.

It's time to show some value.

Naruto's heart stirred. He felt it was time to show his worth; playing the pig to eat the tiger was fine, but he wasn't a real pig.

[Triple Inversion activated]

The energy within his body merged with the massive Nine-Tails.

Just as Tsunade was still marveling, she noticed the giant Nine-Tails beginning to change.

First, the Nine-Tails stood up, then its head transformed into Naruto's likeness, and its body shifted into a human shape. Except for the nine tails behind it, it was a perfect, oversized replica of Naruto.

Nine-Tails Naruto Form.

It was exactly the same as a Complete Body Susanoo.

"Chakra materialization, and he can control it? Is this really something an eight-year-old brat can do?"

"W-w-what is this?"

Shizune was dumbfounded.

Tonton's pig snout hung wide open.

The giant Naruto raised his hands and clenched them.

"Truly an intoxicating power."

"This..."

Jiraiya, who had just rushed over after sensing the commotion, had his mouth agape.

"This is the Nine-Tails. So powerful."

"Hey, Naruto, that's enough showing off."

Just as Naruto was still marveling, the Nine-Tails inside him spoke up.

After all, it was their first time working together, and they lacked synergy; it wasn't wise to stay in this state for too long.

Naruto quickly snapped back to reality, simultaneously feeling that his chakra had been slightly tainted.

He instantly deactivated the state.

He checked his own energy and felt relieved that it was only a little bit.

"Hey, Little Nine, control your chakra better next time."

Naruto was speechless; he didn't want to turn into a fox.

"Kid, you have no room to talk about me. You should focus on practicing your own control."

The Nine-Tails let out a cold snort.

Seeing Naruto Uzumaki release his state, the three of them quickly moved forward.

"Not bad power, kid."

This time, Tsunade was offering genuine praise, unable to resist patting Naruto Uzumaki on the shoulder.

Naruto Uzumaki, however, found his eyes dazzled by the peaks before him.

They're bigger than Hinata's in the future. Is it because of the Yin Seal? It seems I'll have to find a way to study that.

Although Tsunade's Yin Seal was inherited from Mito Uzumaki, Tsunade had improved it herself.

Therefore, it was considered Tsunade's unique ninjutsu; even the Third Hokage and Danzo did not possess it, so despite Naruto Uzumaki's covetousness, he had no opportunity to acquire it.

"Long time no see, Tsunade."

"Get away from me, you bastard."

Tsunade waved her hand in disgust.

Ever since he arrived, Jiraiya hadn't been able to take his eyes off Tsunade's chest.

Especially with that lecherous look on his face—not to mention Tsunade, even Naruto Uzumaki found it repulsive.

While it was true that Tsunade's figure was eye-catching, there was no need to look like such an idiot.

"Lady Tsunade, can we return to Konoha now?"

"Call me Sister Tsunade."

Tsunade had essentially accepted Naruto Uzumaki.

"Sister Tsunade."

Naruto Uzumaki flashed a smile.

Now he had someone looking out for him.

"You're not bad, kid; I acknowledge you. The bet stands. Until then, I will keep the position of Hokage safe for you. Take this as a token."

Tsunade reached to her snow-white neck and pulled out a necklace.

Only then did Naruto Uzumaki notice she was wearing one; it wasn't that he hadn't seen it, but rather that it had been hidden too well.

"Uh, this..."

Naruto Uzumaki hesitated for a moment. Having read the original story, he naturally knew what this was, and it felt as if the item were cursed—everyone who had accepted it had essentially died.

Even the Naruto Uzumaki from the original story had nearly perished during the Pain invasion.

Of course, he wasn't afraid, but it did feel a bit ominous.

However, seeing the threatening look in Tsunade's eyes, Naruto Uzumaki helplessly accepted it.

At the same time, he gained some insight: one really could hide things in that bosom. Truly, the wonders of the 2D world.

The four of them returned to the tavern. This time, Naruto Uzumaki didn't interrupt as Jiraiya explained the current situation to Tsunade.

Both of them furrowed their brows.

"Damn Uchiha Clan, they really know how to cause trouble."

Having already stepped into the role of Hokage, Tsunade felt a headache coming on.

The two of them frowned as they drank in silence.

The main issue was that neither of them knew how to handle the Uchiha Clan for the time being.

Ignoring them was impossible because, due to Naruto Uzumaki, the upper echelons were now mostly aware that the Uchiha Clan had controlled the Nine-Tails to kill the Third Hokage.

If they didn't deal with them, what would happen if such an incident occurred again?

But how to deal with them? The severity of the action was something the Hokage had to weigh carefully.

Meanwhile, Naruto Uzumaki, now free from pressure, began to eat and drink heartily. He had never liked using his brain, let alone dealing with political struggles.

If the Third Hokage hadn't constantly liked to keep an eye on him, Naruto Uzumaki never would have thought about killing him.

The two of them were deep in thought with furrowed brows, only to hear Naruto Uzumaki smacking his lips beside them.

A vein popped on Tsunade's forehead.

"You brat."

Tsunade slammed her fist onto Naruto Uzumaki's head.

Naruto Uzumaki looked completely innocent.

"Kid, tell me what we should do. If you can't come up with a good solution, I'll beat you to death today."

Tsunade glared at Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki was speechless, wondering if his choice had been right or wrong; he just felt that women were not very reasonable.

To be honest, he didn't care at all about how the Uchiha Clan was dealt with.

Since Tsunade had asked, Naruto Uzumaki thought for a moment, drawing primarily from the nonsense he had seen from netizens in his past life.

"Actually, the most anticipated thing about the Uchiha Clan is their cohesion, and those guys just love to stir up trouble whenever they're well-fed."

"Kid, do you believe I'll punch you if you keep talking nonsense?"

Tsunade could no longer hold back.

"Fine, I have a solution."

Everyone's gaze turned toward him.

"The Senju Clan has already integrated into Konoha, and the Uchiha Clan could actually do the same. Integrate all those Uchiha who haven't awakened their eyes into Konoha; from now on, only those who awaken the Sharingan can carry the Uchiha Clan surname."

"This way, the Uchiha Clan's collective sense of honor will vanish, and their faith will shift toward the Sharingan. Besides, the aptitude for awakening the Sharingan is quite high, so this will maintain their numbers. Once their numbers dwindle, their motives will become simpler, and the Uchiha will no longer pose a threat."

Naruto Uzumaki spread his hands.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes brightening.

The most crucial part was that this method was actually sound.

Especially for Tsunade.

If my Senju Clan has already integrated into Konoha, why shouldn't your Uchiha Clan?

"Not bad, kid."

Tsunade's eyes lit up. It was highly feasible, and coupled with the recent events, they could absolutely force a change upon the Uchiha Clan.
