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 at the Ninja Academy, and revealing that he could use ninjutsu would be troublesome.

"Don't tell me the brat has no other moves?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

"Lady Tsunade, isn't this enough?"

Naruto looked somewhat puzzled.

"Not enough. If this is all you've got, I can't be bothered to go back and take over that mess."

Naruto frowned, unable to tell whether Tsunade was telling the truth.

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

So he had no idea whether Tsunade meant it or not.

But since he didn't know, he might as well show her another move.

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

"Let's see it."

Tsunade became a little interested.

And Tsunade truly was somewhat interested in Naruto. After all, he had mastered the Nine-Tails' power, which meant he had control over the power of a nuclear weapon. The Nine-Tails' strength was obvious for all to see; both the Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage had died because of it.

At this point, Tsunade still didn't know that Naruto only had half of the Nine-Tails inside him.

That was why Naruto's earlier performance had left her somewhat disappointed.

She had only meant to test him, yet this kid had another trick up his sleeve.

[Nine-Tails]

Naruto pressed his palms together, and golden chakra instantly spread out from his body in every direction.

"That's Tailed Beast Transformation."

Tsunade's pupils contracted.

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

Naruto stood within it.

It's time to show a little of my worth.

Naruto's thoughts shifted as he felt it was time to show what he could do. Playing the pig to eat the tiger was one thing, but he wasn't actually a pig.

[Threefold Reversal Activated]

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

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

First, the Nine-Tails stood upright. Then its head became Naruto's, and its body took on a human form. Aside from the nine tails behind it, it was an enormous duplicate of Naruto.

Nine-Tails Naruto form.

It was exactly like a complete-body Susanoo.

"Chakra given physical form, and it can even be controlled... Is this really something an eight-year-old brat can do?"

"Th-this... what is this?"

Shizune stood dumbfounded.

Tonton's pig mouth hung wide open.

The gigantic Naruto raised both hands and clenched them.

"What intoxicating power."

"This..."

Jiraiya, who had just rushed over after sensing the disturbance, gaped in shock.

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

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

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

It was their first time cooperating, after all, and they did not yet have much coordination. They should not remain in this state for too long.

Naruto quickly came back to his senses and simultaneously felt that his chakra had been slightly contaminated.

He immediately released the state.

He sensed the energy within himself. Fortunately, it was only a small amount.

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

Naruto was speechless. He had no desire to turn into a fox.

"Brat, you've got some nerve saying that to me. Practice controlling your own power first."

The Nine-Tails snorted coldly.

Seeing Naruto release the state, the three of them quickly approached.

"Brat, that's some impressive power."

This time, Tsunade's praise was sincere. She could not help patting Naruto on the shoulder.

Naruto, meanwhile, was dazzled by the mountains before his eyes.

They're bigger than future Hinata's. Is it because of the Yin Seal? Looks like I need to get it and study it.

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

Thus, it counted as Tsunade's unique ninjutsu. Even the Third Hokage and Danzo did not possess it, so although Naruto coveted it, he had no chance of getting his hands on it.

"Tsunade, it's been a long time."

"You bastard, stay away from me."

Tsunade waved him off in disgust.

Ever since Jiraiya arrived, his eyes had not left Tsunade's chest.

Especially with that lecherous look on his face—Tsunade was disgusted by it, and even Naruto found it distasteful.

Tsunade's figure was indeed eye-catching, but there was no need to wear such an idiotic expression.

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

"Call me Sister Tsunade."

Tsunade had, in a sense, acknowledged Naruto.

"Sister Tsunade."

Naruto smiled as well.

Now I have someone backing me up.

"You're not bad, brat. I acknowledge you. The wager stands. Until then, I'll help you keep an eye on the position of Hokage. Take this as a token."

Tsunade pulled a necklace out from between her snowy-white breasts.

Only then did Naruto notice that she had been wearing a necklace around her neck. It was not that he had failed to see it; the necklace had simply been hidden too well.

"Uh, this..."

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

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

Of course, he was not afraid. It just felt a little unlucky.

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

At the same time, he had learned something new. You really could hide things in a bosom. As expected of a two-dimensional world.

The four returned to the tavern. This time, Naruto did not interrupt as Jiraiya explained the current situation to Tsunade.

Both of them frowned.

"Those damned Uchiha really know how to cause trouble."

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

The two frowned and drank in silence.

The main issue was that they did not know how to handle the Uchiha clan for the moment.

Leaving them alone was impossible. Because of Naruto, the higher-ups now more or less knew that the Uchiha clan had controlled the Nine-Tails and used it to kill the Third Hokage.

What if they did something like this again if they were not dealt with?

But how should they be handled? The severity of the response was something the Hokage needed to weigh.

Meanwhile, with the pressure gone, Naruto began eating and drinking heartily. He had never liked thinking too much, especially not about this sort of political struggle.

If the Third Hokage had not always been watching him, why would Naruto have thought of killing him?

The two of them frowned deeply as they listened to Naruto smacking his lips beside them.

A vein bulged on Tsunade's forehead.

"You little bastard."

Tsunade punched Naruto on the head.

Naruto looked utterly innocent.

"Brat, 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.

Naruto looked speechless, and he began wondering whether his choice had been right. Women really did not seem to be very reasonable.

To be honest, he did not care at all how the Uchiha clan was dealt with.

But since Tsunade had asked, Naruto gave it some thought, mainly recalling the nonsense people online had talked about in his previous life.

"Actually, the Uchiha clan's greatest strength is probably their cohesion. And once those guys are full, they love stirring up trouble for no reason."

"Brat, keep talking nonsense and see if I don't hammer you."

Tsunade had reached her limit.

"Fine, I have an idea."

Everyone turned to look at him.

"The Senju Clan has already merged into Konoha. The Uchiha clan can do the same. Integrate all Uchiha who have not awakened their eyes into Konoha. From now on, only Uchiha who have awakened the Sharingan may keep the Uchiha clan surname."

"That way, the Uchiha clan's collective sense of honor will disappear, and their beliefs will shift to the Sharingan. Besides, the qualifications needed to awaken the Sharingan are fairly high. This will preserve their numbers, but once their numbers decrease, their thoughts will become simpler. Then the Uchiha will no longer pose a threat."

Naruto spread his hands.

The two exchanged glances, and their eyes lit up.

Most importantly, it was a good method.

Especially for Tsunade.

If my Senju Clan could merge into Konoha, why couldn't the Uchiha clan?

"Not bad, brat."

Tsunade's eyes brightened. It was very feasible, and with what had happened this time, they could completely force a change upon the Uchiha clan.
