Danzo's Rage

"Kushina, where are you going?"

Mikoto watched Kushina walking toward the door and asked.

"Mikoto, I have something to discuss with Uzumaki Shin. You should get some rest." After being called out, Kushina's body trembled slightly before she spoke in a calm tone.

"I can't let you do that."

Mikoto suddenly blocked Kushina's path, shaking her head at her.

"Tsunade-sensei told me to keep an eye on you and not let you run around at night, especially not to Uzumaki Shin's place."

Upon hearing this, Kushina couldn't help but grit her teeth. Tsunade was so hateful, and Mikoto was just as bad.

In the end, Kushina failed to make it to Uzumaki Shin's room, still held back by Mikoto, which left her feeling incredibly frustrated.

The next day, Uzumaki Shin woke up early, though someone had risen even earlier than him.

"Morning, Mikoto."

Uzumaki Shin greeted Mikoto.

"You're already up, Uzumaki Shin? Then I'll go prepare breakfast," Mikoto said.

"Don't bother. Let's wait until Tsunade and Kushina wake up. Who knows when they'll get up? Those two are quite lazy."

"When talking behind someone's back, it's best to pay attention to your surroundings," Tsunade's cold voice drifted over.

"Uzumaki Shin, did I just hear you calling me lazy?" Kushina stared at Uzumaki Shin with a dark gaze.

Uzumaki Shin was speechless. Did the sun rise from the west today? Why were both of them up so early?

"Ahem, I'm going to practice my swordsmanship. If I don't practice for a day, I get rusty. Excuse me."

Uzumaki Shin found an excuse to slip away, immediately using

Yomotsu Hirasaka

to vanish before even Tsunade could catch him.

Half an hour later, Uzumaki Shin returned for breakfast. Seeing Tsunade and Kushina glaring at him with cold faces, he felt he needed to find a topic to shift the mood.

"Tsunade, should we go out on a mission today?" Uzumaki Shin asked.

"That's up to you all. If you want to go on a mission, then go. If not, I wouldn't mind resting and being a bit lazy myself."

Uzumaki Shin, Kushina, and Mikoto exchanged glances, then Kushina and Mikoto looked at Uzumaki Shin.

The decision rested with Uzumaki Shin. If he said they were going on a mission, they would go; they followed his lead.

Uzumaki Shin pondered for a moment, then asked Tsunade, "Can we take on a B-rank mission?"

C-rank missions rarely involved encountering other ninja, and right now, Kushina and Mikoto needed to fight real ninja to improve their combat experience.

The same applied to Uzumaki Shin, though he only benefited from enemies who were his match.

However, finding an enemy who could fight him on equal footing was truly difficult. Killing Elite Jonin was as easy as chopping vegetables, and he suspected it was much the same for quasi-Kage level opponents; he needed a Kage-level fighter to truly test himself.

A ten-year-old Kage-level ninja had to be a record for the ninja world. In any case, Uzumaki Shin didn't believe anyone else was as strong as him at ten; after all, he was essentially cheating. Even the brothers of the Six Paths probably weren't his match at that age.

"A B-rank mission? That's impossible. Sarutobi Hiruzen definitely won't let me accept one. The previous C-rank mission was already an exception."

Tsunade shook her head. Uzumaki Shin and his team were just newly graduated Genin; the C-rank mission had only been granted as a favor to her.

"If that's the case, we might as well stay in Konoha and train."

Uzumaki Shin decided against taking a mission. They weren't short on money, so there was no need to waste time on pointless tasks.

Deep within the Konoha Root base, Danzo's face was terrifyingly dark.

"You say Tsunade and those three brats returned yesterday?"

"Yes, Danzo-sama. They completed their mission and returned."

"And what about Dan Katō? Is there any news of him?" Danzo was furious. He had sent such a powerful force, yet Tsunade had returned, and that brat named Uzumaki Shin hadn't been captured either.

"There is no word from them, and they have not returned."

The anger on Danzo's face vanished, replaced by a deep frown. He had sent them to kill Tsunade; if she had returned while they hadn't, and there wasn't even a message, something had clearly gone wrong.

"Go investigate, and remember not to let Sarutobi Hiruzen find out," Danzo commanded the Root ninja before him.

After the ninja left, Danzo slammed his hand onto the table, his rage boiling over—he couldn't contain it any longer.

Three Elite Jonin and three Jonin had vanished without a trace; how could Danzo possibly remain calm?

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, I hope you have nothing to do with this." Cold light glinted in Danzo's eyes. He suspected that Sarutobi Hiruzen was deeply involved.

If it had just been Tsunade, Danzo would have assumed she was dead, which was why he now suspected Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Perhaps his movements had been discovered by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo did not suspect Shin, as Shin was only ten years old; who would believe he possessed such formidable strength?

Therefore, Danzo suspected Sarutobi Hiruzen, believing the Third Hokage had intervened to ruin his plans, and resentment festered in Danzo's heart.

Shin was unaware of Danzo's suspicions; if he knew, he would likely die laughing.

It was better to let Danzo and the Third Hokage tear each other apart like dogs; after all, neither the Third Hokage nor Danzo were good people.

Shin and the others were in the middle of training, with Tsunade overseeing their progress.

However, Tsunade was only instructing Kushina and Mikoto; as for Shin, she claimed she couldn't teach him, as his strength already surpassed her own—what could she possibly guide him on?

"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"

Shin hurled the Rasenshuriken in his hand. Upon striking the wooden stake, it erupted instantly, causing the stake to vanish completely, leaving not even a trace of sawdust behind.

A crater roughly fifty meters wide appeared in the ground, and the chakra storm continued to rage; anyone approaching it would still be injured.

"Finally, it's one hundred percent complete."

Shin said with satisfaction. After creating thousands of Shadow Clone to research it together, he had finally perfected the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.

The Rasenshuriken was a jutsu developed by Naruto Uzumaki based on the Rasengan. While its power was immense, it also had its drawbacks.

Its unstable state, the requirement for point-blank range, and the side effects that caused internal injuries to the user led to it being classified as an S-rank forbidden jutsu.

However, those were only the flaws of an incomplete version. In the original story, after Naruto Uzumaki mastered Sage Mode, he perfected the jutsu and completely overcame its side effects.

Shin did not possess Sage Mode, but that was no obstacle; he was capable of completing the Rasenshuriken with one hundred percent perfection.

The difficulty of the Rasenshuriken lay in its stability; as long as it was stable enough and one's control was strong enough, how could a jutsu one created possibly harm oneself?

Shin's single Rasenshuriken instantly drew the attention of Tsunade and the others.

"What is this jutsu?" Tsunade asked, her face full of shock.

"It's one I developed. It's a jutsu born from adding wind-style chakra nature transformation to the Rasengan. The power is decent, right?" Shin said with a smile.

Tsunade didn't know what to say at this moment. This jutsu was estimated to be at least S-rank, yet it had been researched by Shin. In an instant, Tsunade felt crushed. With you being such a freak, how are we ordinary ninjas supposed to live?
