Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"Hey, Sakura, good morning. You don't look too well, what's wrong?" Ino said.

"I have too many worries. I couldn't confess my feelings and I can't sleep." Sakura said, sighed, moved a stool to sit next to Ino, and chatted idly.

Quietly, Sakura's hand climbed up Ino's waist from behind.

Ino stiffened and subconsciously looked at Sakura, only to see that Sakura's face remained unchanged.

Ino quickly realized what was going on.

Is Sakura writing with her hands?

They were talking about food, but their hands were secretly writing words. What did that mean?

While maintaining casual conversation with Sakura, Ino was distracted by the words Sakura had written.

"Shimura Danzo."

"help me."

"Keep it a secret, from everyone."

"Be very careful."

"I need information about this person."

Ino took Sakura's hand and secretly drew a question mark in her palm.

Sakura shook her head, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

As noon approached, Sakura had to go home for lunch and said goodbye before leaving.

Watching Sakura's figure disappear from sight, Ino's heart was not as calm and composed as her face suggested.

problem occurs!

Sakura must have encountered a huge problem, so she doesn't even dare to make a sound, or perhaps she can't?

"Who is Shimura Danzo?" Ino pondered.

That night.

Ino arrived at Haruno's house alone.

In her mind, there were no outsiders in the house, but just to be on the safe side, Ino didn't say it directly.

The methods of ninjas are unpredictable and mysterious.

Leaving aside the usual things like surveillance cameras and eavesdropping devices, the most difficult to guard against are the ninja techniques used for spying.

It could be a cockroach, a spider, an ant, or a mosquito.

In the bathroom, two women sat in the bathtub, seemingly chatting about trivial matters, but their hands, hidden in the water, were writing on each other's legs.

Foamy water obstructs vision to the greatest extent, effectively preventing spying ninja techniques.

While lying in bed at night, it's certainly possible, but it's not as safe as that, since the hand movements are too obvious and frequent, which can easily arouse suspicion.

Regardless of whether anyone is spying on us, we must not skimp on our own preventative measures.

“Tell me honestly, what happened to you?” Ino.

"There's a result. What is it?" Sakura asked.

“When we weren’t around, I asked my dad, and he reacted strongly, asking me how I knew the name,” Ino said.

"I lied and said that I had overheard a conversation between Jonin from another village, and that's how I got away with it."

The Chunin Exams are over, but the aftermath of the Konoha Crush is far from over.

Those who did not participate in the attack can leave on their own, but the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja will not be able to retreat easily.

Some Jonin from other villages, concerned about future developments, deliberately stayed behind.

Ino's reasoning is somewhat plausible.

“My dad didn’t say much to me, he just seriously told me not to mention that person’s name again.” Ino.

"Although he didn't say much, my dad's behavior alone was enough to tell the story. This person is a taboo in the village."

"..." Sakura.

"So, tell me what happened to you," Ino said.

Sakura shook her head, her emerald green eyes gradually becoming moist.

Without hesitation, Ino pulled Sakura into her arms and whispered in her ear, "Sakura, don't forget, I'm your older sister. I'll protect you and I'll never abandon you."

Under Ino's repeated questioning, Sakura, who was already feeling pressured and almost unable to breathe, truthfully told Ino how she wrote on her thigh with her finger.

While Ino was greatly shocked, she forced herself to calm down and write.

"Is the target Naruto? Such a dangerous person, targeting Naruto is really not good news."

"But you yourself said that you were controlled and could not resist Shimura Danzo. Logically speaking, your heart should be with him. Why is that?"

"Why is your behavior so normal, as if you're out of control? You even want to investigate him and rebel against him."

Sakura writes: "The one being controlled is my other personality."

Another personality? What does that mean? Ino quickly drew a question mark.

“I have a dual personality. Danzo Shimura only controlled my alternate personality.” - Sakura

"Without my permission, the inner personality cannot control the body, and in order not to do anything to harm Naruto, I discussed it with the inner personality and put her into a deep sleep."

"Once we deal with Shimura Danzo, the source will be gone, and the so-called control will collapse on its own. At that time, she will regain her senses."

"You want to kill Shimura Danzo." Ino.

"He must be killed." Sakura.

"Controlling me or plotting against Naruto, neither of these is something I can tolerate."

"If I didn't have a split personality, would I still be myself? Just thinking about it makes me want to tear him to pieces."

“Even my father, a Jonin and the head of a clan, is so wary and cautious. You can imagine how terrifying Shimura Danzo is.” Ino said.

“I’m not against you killing him, I’m worried you’ll get yourself into trouble.”

"..." Sakura.

To be honest, Sakura's mind is in turmoil right now. While she hates Danzo, she is completely lost and unable to organize her thoughts effectively to come up with a solution.

In contrast, Ino, who was not directly involved, was much calmer. After thinking for a while, she came up with an idea.

"Didn't you say he gave you a ninjutsu to compensate for your lack of nerve reflexes?" Ino said.

"They even said they wanted to make you a Jinchūriki to make up for your lack of chakra."

"Judging from this situation, he has taken a liking to your talent and wants to cultivate you. You can turn the tables and obtain a lot of resources from him to cultivate."

"When you're confident, find a suitable opportunity and take him down."

After deciphering Ino's words, Sakura paused, then her mind began to wander.

She was already extremely intelligent, and as she continued to think, she made even more connections.

“He thought I was controlled and absolutely loyal to him. He thought that if I performed well enough, I might be able to climb up the ranks and become his successor.”

"No need to say it outright, if he shows even the slightest bit of that kind of presence, I'll kill him immediately and inherit everything from him."

“It’s unlikely that an individual’s strength is taboo; it’s more likely that he has an organization or a power.”

"When that time comes, after taking over everything from him, I will be able to do more, such as... helping Naruto become Hokage."

“Then you must be careful. If Shimura Danzo finds out you’re not under control, you’re finished.” Ino said.

“I know,” Sakura said.

"Helping Naruto is something for later. Before that, I need to survive first and eliminate this biggest threat."

“The Flying Thunder God Technique that Naruto taught you before, I couldn’t learn it. The Spirit Transformation Technique is very similar to my family’s secret technique.” Ino said.

"This is my spirit leaving the body; the Spirit Transformation Technique is the soul leaving the body."

"As the main killing soul, it is an S-rank high-level ninjutsu."

"Wait, give me the Spirit Transformation Technique. I'll learn it as soon as possible. Once I master it, I can help you."

“Ino…” Sakura called out.

"I told you, I won't abandon you," Ino said with a bright smile.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" With blood gushing from his nose, Jiraiya squealed with excitement: "Genius! Genius! Naruto! How did you come up with such a fun and amazing technique?"

"It's about combining Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu," Naruto said.

"It's easy to say, but how come I didn't think of that? I feel like I've missed out on so much in the past," Jiraiya said, slapping his forehead in frustration.

"Is that enough? It's been almost six hours. You've had so much nosebleed, and your face is a bit pale," Naruto said.

"It's alright, I've long been prepared to dedicate myself to art. This little nosebleed is nothing. Come on! Let's do it again!" Jiraiya sniffed and said impatiently.

"I'm so tired. Besides, this transformation can't be repeated, it's super brain-draining," Naruto said.

“Repetition is fine, as long as she’s a beautiful woman, I’ll accept her anytime,” Jiraiya said.

"No, no, no, I won't change it. I haven't had dinner yet," Naruto said.

"Skipping one meal won't kill you," Jiraiya muttered, but he still accompanied Naruto to have dinner first.

After the meal, Naruto transformed into a few girls to whet Jiraiya's appetite, and then suggested that he take a bath and go to bed.

"You don't usually go to bed this early!" Jiraiya protested. "I want beautiful women! Busty beautiful women! Beautiful women in thongs!"

Naruto ignored him, went to take a shower, and went to bed to sleep. In reality, he was in the sealed space chatting with Kurama.

He discovered that Kurama was very simple-minded and easily swayed by the topic.

Talking more about the past, about the glorious days of Kurama (the Nine-Tails), can help it stop clinging to the matter of the One-Tailed Chakra.

"..." Jiraiya.
