Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Naruto composed himself, organized his thoughts, and said, "Tsunade-neechan, I've made a huge mistake."

"Oh, what terrible disaster?" Tsunade asked curiously.

“I killed Danzo Shimura,” Naruto said.

"..." Tsunade.

Cleaning up the traces is to prevent more people from finding out.

Tsunade absolutely cannot hide it, nor can she. If Sakura is to remain safe and sound in Konoha, Tsunade is indispensable.

Then, Naruto went on and on, explaining the whole story.

He concealed his Mangekyou Sharingan, hid Hinata and Ino's assistance, and took on as much responsibility as possible.

"No! Hokage! It's not what Naruto said! I..." Sakura quickly said.

“If it’s not like that, then what is it? I know you’re grateful to me and want to share the burden, but let me tell you, I take responsibility for my own actions, I don’t need that,” Naruto said.

"Danzo, is he really dead?" Tsunade asked.

“They’re all dead, just ashes,” Naruto said.

boom!

Tsunade slammed her hand on the desk, smashing it to pieces, and roared, "Naruto Uzumaki! How dare you! You'd kill anyone, wouldn't you? Do you want to kill me someday?!"

“How could that be? Tsunade is the greatest Hokage. I respect you more than anything,” Naruto said.

"Heh, that sounds nice, but what will you actually do?" Tsunade sneered. "Shizune, take him to prison. He's not allowed to come out until he's been there for five years."

"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune was startled and wanted to say something, but seeing Tsunade blink quickly twice, she realized there was a problem and nodded in agreement.

"Lord Hokage! Let me explain! That's not how it is!" Sakura was jumping up and down in a panic.

"Whether that's the case or not, I can judge for myself. But you..." Tsunade took a sip of tea and stared intently at Sakura: "Would you like to become my apprentice?"

Konoha Prison.

Hearing the commotion, the prisoners knew that a new person had arrived, and they all peeked out to look. When they found that the newcomer was a boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, they were all stunned.

"Aha!" The disheveled and not-so-good-looking Mr. Shuimu's eyes lit up and he exclaimed with delight.

"Who is this? Isn't this the legendary fox spirit?! How did you get in here? Hahaha!"

"The new Hokage is better than that old man Third Hokage. He did something worthwhile. The monster should be locked up."

Naruto, who was deep in thought, looked up when he heard the voice and recognized it as Mizuki: "I want to share a room with him."

Shizune glanced at Naruto, then at Mizuki, and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The Chunin in charge of guarding this place immediately took the key and opened the door.

"Oh ho, you've got some nerve, daring to come looking for me like this," Shui Mu sneered.

"Last time you ruined my plans, everyone in this prison has been placed under a sealing technique that suppresses chakra refining."

"Without chakra, you're just a brat. I could beat you to death with one hand."

Snapped!

Shui Mu's vision blurred, and he was lifted into the air, flipped three and a half times, and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Huh?" Mizuki was taken aback, turned his head to look at Naruto who was cracking his knuckles and slowly walking towards him, realized something, and exclaimed.

"You! You can use chakra! You weren't sealed!"

Chapter 107 Double Confession

Hyuga family.

"Don't worry, everything's fine," Hiashi said calmly, having just returned from the Hokage Building.

"The Fifth Hokage did this to shut up the two advisors, since the dead weren't just ordinary people, but..."

"Also, it's meant to teach Naruto a lesson. He did something so big without making a sound, it wouldn't be right not to punish him."

"But..." Hinata said worriedly, "There are so many bad people in the prison, it's cold, dark, and damp, and Naruto-kun lives in a place like that..."

"Concern leads to confusion," Hiashi sighed.

"You can go visit him, bring him plenty of blankets, food, drinks, and one more thing..."

“Naruto wasn’t sealed; he was at his peak. The Fifth Hokage said that even she wasn’t a match for Naruto at full power. Think about it, in a place like a prison, who could bully him?”

"Not to mention that Naruto can use the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows him to come and go freely. He could leave a shadow clone inside to pretend, while his main body goes home to eat and sleep."

"It's said that he was put in solitary confinement and punished, but it all depends on Naruto's self-discipline."

"I see." Hinata was confused. "Should I go visit them now?"

"Go ahead, what are you saying to me? In name only, you're already his woman." Hiashi remained silent.

Hinata, who had run out eagerly, turned back less than ten seconds later: "Father, I... I want to come back and stay here."

"What's wrong? Are you not used to living there?" Hiashi asked nervously.

"No, it's just..." Hinata said hesitantly, "I don't want to put too much financial pressure on Naruto-kun."

"..." Rizu.

He put down his teacup, stood up, and led Hinata out of the house, out of the yard, and out of the clan's gate.

"Father?" Hinata was taken aback.

"Good boy, go back to Naruto's house," Hiashi said gently.

Without the slightest delay, the door was slammed shut.

Locked.

Hinata.

Konoha Prison.

The cell where Naruto was staying.

The first person to visit was Kakashi.

"You did what I wanted to do, but couldn't."

Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto suddenly realized and said, "Kakashi-sensei, you know Sakura..."

"Yes," Kakashi replied.

"Not long after the Hokage healed her, I noticed that something was wrong with Sakura. I pretended not to know and used some connections to investigate. I roughly guessed that she had fallen into Danzo's hands."

"I am powerless to deal with Danzo, so I went to report to the Hokage immediately."

"How should I put it, Danzo? You can think of the two advisors as a whole. The interests of the three of them are aligned, and they are willing to sacrifice everything for Konoha."

"Even the three lords cannot ignore the opinions put forward by the three of them working together. If this matter is brought up to the daimyo, they may even be dismissed."

"As the Fifth Hokage, she was new to power and it was difficult for her to shake Danzo's authority. The only thing she could do was to exchange benefits for him."

"Is it feasible?" Naruto asked.

"Danzo is hiding outside the village, ignoring the Fifth Hokage's summons," Kakashi said helplessly.

“He saw Sakura’s talent and wanted to mold her into a cold-blooded, emotionless tool. How could he possibly trade her?” Naruto said.

"That's why I said you did what I wanted to do, but couldn't," Kakashi said with a smile.

"Breaking free from the constraints of the rules and outside the sphere of power, using absolute strength, we will kill Danzo and rescue Sakura."

"Do you remember what I said when you passed my test after graduation?"

“Those who break the rules and ironclad laws of the ninja world are called trash. But those who don’t value their comrades are even worse than trash.”

"Naruto, thank you. You prevented my regrets from increasing."

Kakashi left behind a bento box, bedding, a pillow, and a rechargeable electric kettle.

"So, Kakashi-sensei knew everything, and the Hokage also..." Ino said.

Naruto opened his bento box, and the aroma of fried saury filled the air. As he wolfed it down, he said in his mind, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Don't you already know what will happen next?"

“You must be lonely here all by yourself. I’ll stay with you a little longer, talk to you, chat with you, and help you keep yourself entertained,” Ino said.

“With Kurama here, I won’t be alone,” Naruto said.

“The Nine-Tails is the Nine-Tails, and I am me. We are different,” Ino said.

The second person to visit Naruto was Jiraiya.

“From a personal standpoint, I understand you; from the village’s standpoint, I…” Jiraiya sighed and gently patted Naruto’s shoulder: “If you need anything, just tell me.”

"Money, I need money." Naruto.

"How much is missing?" Jiraiya asked.

"How many do you have?" Naruto asked.

"What do you mean, 'How much do I have?'" Jiraiya.

"I need as much as you have." - Naruto

"Let me see, hmm, over six thousand. I still need to drink, find a woman... find volunteers to help with research. Here, this three thousand is for you." Jiraiya.

"I meant your savings." Naruto.

"Savings?" Jiraiya laughed heartily. "Do I look like someone who would save money? I spend money as soon as I get it. I don't want to regret not having spent all my money when I die someday."

"Stingy," Naruto muttered.

In the story, Naruto accidentally saw Jiraiya's bankbook. The exact amount of money in it is unknown, but it is known that there are many zeros.

Jiraiya froze, then gave a dry laugh.

"It is true that some money was deposited in my name. I kept it specifically for the development of the village. I never used it myself."

"If you ever become Hokage, I'll definitely give it to you."
