Sasuke's Curse Mark Level 2
This is a scroll signed by many people, including her own.
She would later have Mitokado Homura sign the scroll, and then submit it to the Daimyo the Land of Fire to formally request Danzo's removal from office.
At that time, Konoha, this Danzo in Konoha, will be completely suppressed.
"I never expected that Naruto's affair would become the leverage I used to bring down Danzo. Not bad, not bad."
Utatane Koharu was happily walking back when a member of the Anbu Ninja suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Elder, Mitokado Homura requests your presence."
"Oh? I happen to need to see him. Lead the way."
"Yes."
Utatane Koharu and soon arrived at the small conference room.
At this moment, only Mitokado Homura was sitting in the conference room, seemingly deep in thought.
"Look at this scroll. With this, Danzo will surely fall." Utatane Koharu tossed the scroll over.
"Um?"
Mitokado Homura frowned as he picked up the scroll. When he saw that it discussed Naruto's situation, his expression darkened.
Then, under the smiling gaze of Utatane Koharu, she suddenly tore it open.
Tear!
The scroll was instantly torn to shreds, Utatane Koharu's smile turned to astonishment, then her expression shifted from joy to gloom.
"What are you doing! Stop right now!"
"I'm helping you."
Mitokado Homura did not stop, but continued to tear at the scroll, quickly ripping it into pieces.
"I need an explanation, immediately!"
Utatane Koharu was furious. Danzo before, which made her want to explode. Then, she finally managed to sign a scroll, only to have it torn up by her own ally. This was infuriating.
Enraged, Utatane Koharu glared at Mitokado Homura, awaiting his explanation.
"Fine, I'll tell you this secret anyway, otherwise you might do something drastic."
Mitokado Homura sighed and began to recount the story, bit by bit.
Utatane Koharu was next to her, was initially furious, then shocked, then incredulous, and finally dumbfounded, standing motionless like a statue.
After a long pause, he exclaimed incredulously, "Are you serious? Naruto is actually that strong?"
"Of course, the problem now is how to restore Konoha's image in Naruto's heart. You know very well what Naruto has gone through all these years, and we must do something," said Mitokado Homura.
"That... that's not difficult; all it takes is controlling public opinion."
Utatane Koharu still trusted Mitokado Homura, so she took a deep breath and said.
"First, control public opinion. Have respected elders speak out to improve Naruto's reputation and salvage his image. It won't be long before the villagers accept Naruto."
"Not bad, you're an expert at controlling public opinion, but be careful, Naruto doesn't seem to like people knowing that he helped Konoha," Mitokado Homura said.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't say anything inappropriate." Utatane Koharu nodded.
"That's good. Let's go, let's get started today."
"Good."
The two elders quickly left, trying their best to salvage Konoha's image in Naruto's mind.
You know what?
Their methods were quite effective; in just a few days, the village's opinion of Naruto changed somewhat.
Although some people still hate Naruto, their attitude towards Naruto has subtly changed, and they are no longer as hostile as before.
Such changes are being implemented methodically under the control of Konoha High Command. Given enough time, the hostile atmosphere will be completely transformed in just a few years.
Naruto naturally noticed this, but he ignored it and instead focused on monitoring Sasuke.
Because.
The Sound Four finally made contact with Sasuke and persuaded Sasuke to officially begin their escape from Konoha.
This day.
In the forest outside Konoha.
Sasuke looked at the Mind-Awakening Pill in his hand, frowning slightly, feeling somewhat hesitant.
"Sasuke, eat it. Only in this way can you activate the Curse Mark Stage Two, and your power will increase tenfold."
Kidomaru explained, while taking out a large wooden barrel.
"This is Sealing Barrel. After you eat it, we will seal it to protect you and take you to Lord Orochimaru as soon as possible. The choice is yours."
"Good."
Sasuke didn't hesitate for long. Since he had chosen power, he wouldn't hesitate for long, so he swallowed the Mind-Awakening Pill without hesitation.
Bang!
Sasuke collapsed to the ground, and the Sound Four quickly placed him in a wooden barrel for protection.
"They're gone."
The Sound Four quickly disappeared, heading rapidly towards Orochimaru's base.
Only.
Naruto, who witnessed the entire process, felt somewhat helpless, as the plot seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Only Sakura noticed Sasuke's escape and foolishly ran towards the edge of the village; no one else appeared.
"Fine, my Experience Points are almost at 100% anyway, so I'll go by myself."
Having made his decision, Naruto left, disappearing from Konoha without anyone noticing.
Konoha Forest.
The Sound Four moved swiftly forward, flashing past the large trees.
"This time it went so smoothly, it's great that we didn't encounter any obstacles," Kidomaru said happily.
"It's been going very smoothly, and we haven't encountered a single enemy after traveling for so long. That's great," Sakon and Ukon.
"Hmph, let's get to the border first, you bunch of scum." Tayuya started to speak sarcastically.
"Tayuya, as a girl, it's better to be more refined," the fat Jirobo advised.
"Shut up, you fatso," Tayuya retorted sharply, leaving the fat man feeling utterly helpless.
The others stopped talking and hurried on their way.
Only.
As they walked, Kidomaru suddenly frowned, then looked back with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
"What's wrong Kidomaru?" Tayuya asked, clearly holding a high position in the group.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a chill down my spine. I didn't sense any enemies, which is strange," Kidomaru explained solemnly.
"Do you feel a chill down your back?"
The remaining three asked in confusion, as they hadn't noticed this aspect.
"Maybe, maybe I'm just imagining things."
Kidomaru was somewhat uncertain, but just to be on the safe side, he began to set up a trap.
Using his spider silk abilities, he set up numerous traps, and because of the chill that ran down his spine earlier, he even set up ten times more traps than in the original story.
"Kidomaru, you've set up way too many traps, haven't you?" the fat man Jirobo asked, puzzled.
"It's always better to be careful. I felt a chill down my spine just now, and I was a little uneasy. Now that so many traps have been set up, I don't have to worry about being ambushed anymore."
Kidomaru looked at the countless traps behind him and smiled slightly.
The Sound Ninja around them nodded in agreement. With so many traps, even Jonin, let alone ordinary ninjas Elite Jonin, could easily spot them.
So this time they proceeded with complete peace of mind, no longer worried about being ambushed.
But.
They had been walking for less than five minutes when Kidomaru suddenly turned around, solemnly drawing his weapon.
"Something's wrong, something must have happened! Everyone be careful, be very careful!"
Kidomaru spoke loudly, his expression extremely solemn.
He felt an extremely terrifying sense of crisis, a sense of crisis that felt like needles pricking his back.
This level of sense of crisis was something he wouldn't even feel in front of Orochimaru, so his expression completely changed, and he looked back with extreme fear.
The three Sound Ninja nearby also became alert. Although they weren't as perceptive as Kidomaru, they still sensed that something was wrong.
"Get out here, you scum! If you're a man, come out here!" Tayuya began her sharp tongue, her voice clear yet forceful, clearly indicating she didn't want to stay in this atmosphere.
"Scum? Am I being underestimated?"
The eerie voices came from all directions, causing the Sound Four to change their expressions drastically. However, no matter how they looked around, they could not find any enemies.
"You damn scum, come out here, I..."
Tayuya got angry and shouted it out without hesitation, but she stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.
