How to Deal with the Uchiha Clan

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

If he went all out, Naruto could defeat her now.

But that would expose the fact that he knew ninjutsu. Naruto was still attending the Ninja Academy, so revealing that he could use ninjutsu would be troublesome.

"Kid, don't you have any other tricks?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

"Isn't this enough, Lady Tsunade?"

Naruto looked confused.

"No. If that's all you can do, I can't be bothered to go back and clean up that mess."

Naruto frowned, unsure whether Tsunade was telling the truth.

In his previous life, Naruto had just been an ordinary wage slave. He had no experience dealing with people.

So he couldn't tell whether Tsunade was being serious.

Since he didn't know, he might as well show her something impressive.

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

"Let's see it, then."

Tsunade's interest was piqued.

She was genuinely interested in Naruto, too. After all, he had mastered the Nine-Tails' power, which meant he wielded the power of a nuclear bomb. The Nine-Tails' strength was plain for all to see; both the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage had died because of it.

Tsunade didn't yet know that Naruto only had half of the Nine-Tails inside him.

So Naruto's performance just now had disappointed her a little.

She had only meant to test him, but the kid had been holding back.

[Nine-Tails]

Naruto pressed his hands together, and golden chakra instantly spread out from his body.

"This is Tailed Beast Transformation."

Tsunade's pupils contracted.

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

Naruto was inside the Nine-Tails.

It's time to show them I'm worth something.

Naruto's thoughts stirred. He felt it was time to show what he could do. Playing the fool was all well and good, but he wasn't actually a fool.

[Triple Inversion activated]

The energy within him merged with the gigantic Nine-Tails.

While Tsunade was still marveling at the sight, she saw the giant Nine-Tails begin to change.

First, it stood upright. Then its head became Naruto's, and its body took on a human shape. Apart from the nine tails behind it, it was just a gigantic replica of Naruto.

Nine-Tails Naruto Form.

It was exactly like the Perfect Susanoo.

"Chakra made tangible, and he can even control it? Is this really something an eight-year-old kid can do?"

"W-what is that?"

Shizune was dumbstruck.

Tonton's mouth hung open, too.

The gigantic Naruto raised his hands and clenched them.

"What intoxicating power."

"This..."

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

"That's the Nine-Tails. It's so powerful."

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

Just as Naruto was marveling at the sight, the Nine-Tails spoke from within him.

It was their first time working together, after all, and they still lacked much coordination. They shouldn't stay in this state for too long.

Naruto quickly came to his senses. He could already feel his chakra becoming slightly tainted.

He immediately dispelled the transformation.

He checked his energy. Thankfully, only a little had been affected.

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

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

"Kid, you've got no right to say that. You need to practice controlling your own power."

The Nine-Tails snorted.

When they saw Naruto dispel the transformation, the three of them hurried over.

"Not bad, kid. That's some impressive power."

This time, Tsunade praised him sincerely, patting him on the shoulder.

Naruto's eyes were dazzled by the mountain peaks before him.

Bigger than Hinata's will be in the future. Could it be because of the Yin Seal? Looks like I'll have to get my hands on it and study it.

Tsunade had inherited the Yin Seal from Mito Uzumaki, but she had also modified it herself.

So it was a ninjutsu unique to Tsunade. Even the Third Hokage and Danzo didn't have it. Naruto was envious, but he had no way to get his hands on it.

"Tsunade, long time no see."

"You bastard, stay away from me."

Tsunade waved him off in disgust.

Ever since Jiraiya arrived, he hadn't taken his eyes off Tsunade's chest.

His lecherous expression was so ridiculous that even Naruto was disgusted, never mind Tsunade.

Tsunade's figure was certainly eye-catching, but Jiraiya didn't need to look like such an idiot.

"Lady Tsunade, can we go back to Konoha now?"

"Call me Big Sister Tsunade."

Tsunade had more or less accepted Naruto.

"Big Sister Tsunade."

Naruto smiled, too.

Now he had someone looking out for him.

"You're not bad, kid. I approve of you. Our bet stands. Until then, I'll keep an eye on the Hokage Position for you. Take this as a token."

Tsunade pulled a necklace from between her fair breasts.

Only then did Naruto notice that she was wearing a necklace around her neck. It wasn't that he hadn't seen it before; it had just been hidden too well.

"Uh, this..."

Naruto hesitated for a moment. Having read the original story, he knew what it was. It was as if the thing were cursed—almost everyone who had received it had died.

Even Naruto in the original story had nearly died during Pain's invasion.

Of course, he wasn't afraid. He just felt it brought bad luck.

But when he saw the warning look in Tsunade's eyes, Naruto reluctantly accepted it.

He also learned something new: you really could hide things in your cleavage. That was the magic of the fictional world.

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

Both of them frowned.

"Damn Uchiha. They're nothing but trouble."

Already taking on the role of Hokage, Tsunade felt a headache coming on.

They both frowned and drank in silence.

The main problem was that they had no idea how to deal with the Uchiha Clan.

Ignoring them wasn't an option. Because of Naruto, the higher-ups now more or less knew that the Uchiha Clan had controlled the Nine-Tails and killed the Third Hokage.

If they didn't deal with them, what would they do if something like this happened again?

But how should they deal with them? The Hokage would have to decide how harshly to act.

With the pressure off, Naruto began eating and drinking his fill. He had never liked using his head, especially not for political maneuvering.

If the Third Hokage hadn't constantly kept an eye on him, Naruto wouldn't have thought about killing him.

The two of them frowned deeply while Naruto smacked his lips beside them.

A vein popped on Tsunade's forehead.

"You little brat!"

Tsunade punched Naruto on the head.

Naruto looked completely innocent.

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

Tsunade glared at Naruto.

Naruto was speechless, and he wondered whether he'd made the right choice. Women really didn't seem to make sense.

Honestly, he didn't care at all what happened to the Uchiha Clan.

But since Tsunade had asked, Naruto thought it over for a moment, mostly drawing on the kind of nonsense people online used to say in his previous life.

"Actually, the Uchiha Clan's greatest strength is probably their sense of unity. And those guys like to cause trouble once they've had their fill."

"Keep talking nonsense and I'll hit you!"

Tsunade had had enough.

"Fine, I have an idea."

Everyone looked at him.

"The Senju Clan has already become part of Konoha. The Uchiha Clan could do the same. Fold all the Uchiha who haven't awakened their Sharingan into Konoha. From then on, only Uchiha who awaken their eyes can keep the Uchiha surname."

"That way, the Uchiha Clan won't have a shared sense of honor anymore, and their beliefs will shift to the Sharingan. Besides, there's a pretty high chance of awakening the Sharingan, so they can still maintain their numbers. Once their numbers dwindle, they'll have fewer ambitions, and the Uchiha won't be a threat anymore."

Naruto spread his hands.

The two exchanged a look, their eyes lighting up.

The most important thing was that the plan was a good one.

Especially for Tsunade.

"My Senju Clan has already become part of Konoha. What makes your Uchiha Clan think you're any different?"

"Not bad, kid."

Tsunade's eyes lit up. It really could work. And with what had happened this time, they could force the Uchiha Clan to accept the change.
