Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

Beneath the Uchiha clan's territory, two figures moved swiftly through the soil.

It is the root of the Danzo sect.

Compared to operating on the ground, underground is more concealed and poses a lower risk of exposure.

They infiltrated the barrier using a loophole discovered by the monitored roots, without much effort.

This operation is extremely dangerous.

As members of the Root organization, who were carefully trained by Danzo, they had long placed the completion of the mission above their own lives!

The direction of movement was very clear: the patriarch's residence.

According to intelligence, Naruto should be living there.

At this moment, Namikaze Mirai is training the Uchiha clan members on the banks of the Naka River, far away from Naruto's location.

Kidnapping Naruto is not impossible!

……

In the courtyard of the clan chief's mansion, Naruto looked on with a grin as he dressed up Sasuke.

"It looks better this way."

Three-year-old Sasuke was already very cute, looking just like a girl.

Add to that the carefully chosen short skirt, and it was so cute it almost made Naruto's nose bleed.

"That's not a good idea..."

Sasuke looked at himself and felt that he was becoming strange.

Naruto would always find some strange things for him to wear.

"Perfect, absolutely perfect."

As the two were playing around, they were completely unaware that two unfamiliar ninjas had sneaked into the ground beneath the courtyard.

After a while, Naruto got tired of playing and, after saying goodbye to Sasuke, prepared to go back to rest.

"What should we do with Sasuke next time?"

Naruto pondered.

When they reached a secluded corner, their feet suddenly slipped, and a large hand emerged from the soil, grabbing Naruto's ankle and pulling him into the ground.

Before Naruto could even shout, he was struck on the neck and lost consciousness.

The entire process took place in a very short time.

"Successful!"

Gan Hewen, who had hidden underground, revealed a look of joy in his eyes.

After so much careful preparation, I finally succeeded!

Now, all I need to do is bring the Jinchuriki back to Danzo, and my mission will be complete.

The two carried the unconscious Naruto and ran wildly underground.

Inside the sealed space, the sleeping Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly opened its eyes, its eerie vertical pupils revealing a hint of surprise.

"Naruto has been taken away?"

If he remembered correctly, this was Uchiha clan territory. How could the other party have managed to infiltrate Uchiha clan territory and abduct a Jinchuriki without a sound?

This is absolutely not something an ordinary force could do!

As far as I can remember, the only person in Konoha with the ability and motive to do this is Danzo, right?

If he remembered correctly, Mirai Namikaze had made arrangements for Naruto.

Taking Naruto away so blatantly, that guy might have already found out.

"Hahaha! Interesting! Interesting! What will happen next?"

For the first time, a strong sense of anticipation and excitement welled up in the Nine-Tailed Fox's eerie vertical pupils.

Like an audience member waiting for the show to begin.

……

At almost the same time, near the banks of the Naka River, Namikaze Mirai was training the Uchiha clan.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, it turned around sharply and looked in the direction of the clan chief's residence.

In his eyes, it seemed as if a terrifying flame was rising.

"Did you even ask me, your uncle, before you attacked Naruto?"

The air in the entire training ground instantly turned icy cold.

Chapter 52 The Innately Evil Mirai Namikaze!

Underground, Gan and Wen had already increased their speed to the limit, carrying the unconscious Naruto as they ran wildly!

They emerged from underground only after they had moved far away from areas with a large Uchiha population.

Freed from the constraints of the soil layer, their speed increased dramatically, and they rushed toward the point of convergence.

Long before the mission even began, Root had already planned the route to take Naruto away!

This carefully chosen route was not only the shortest distance from Danzo's rendezvous point, but also carried the lowest risk of being discovered.

The two were unsure whether Namikaze Mirai had noticed Naruto's unusual behavior.

The operation had been rehearsed multiple times and was carried out swiftly and efficiently; theoretically, the probability of exposure was extremely low.

But they dared not gamble.

Namikaze Mirai is a man even Danzo fears.

If Namikaze Mirai really did discover this, he must be heading towards them.

If they were to face Namikaze Mirai head-on, the two of them alone would surely die!

We must transfer Naruto to Danzo as quickly as possible!

Danzo and a large number of Root members are providing support outside the Uchiha clan's territory. As long as they can reach there, even if Namikaze comes after them, there will be enough Root members to block him.

What the two didn't notice was that some kind of silver liquid seemed to be slowly seeping out from the shadow of the unconscious Naruto.

……

The forest outside the Uchiha clan's territory.

Danzo and his roots are waiting.

Danzo's Root members alone numbered no fewer than ten, and the number of Root members hidden in the shadows of this forest was even greater.

Danzo placed great importance on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The significance of the Nine-Tails is far too great.

We must not let it fall into the hands of those evil Uchiha!

Once Naruto is in our hands, we can use him as leverage to control Namikaze Mirai.

So what if you are strong?

With Naruto in my hands, why would I be afraid of him causing trouble?

After waiting for some time, having still not found the root, he tentatively asked Danzo, who was standing there.

"Lord Danzo, could something have happened?"

"No, Gan and Wen are both subordinates I have carefully trained. In terms of infiltration ability, no one in the entire Root can compare."

"Only they can accomplish this task."

Danzo's expression was quite calm.

He has absolute confidence in the subordinates he has personally trained.

Gan and Wen were both subordinates who were willing to risk their lives to complete their missions.

Just wait patiently.

Sure enough, shortly after he finished speaking, two figures carrying something could be vaguely seen rushing towards them from the distant woods.

As they got closer, Danzo's roots became clearly visible.

The thing being carried on that shoulder was none other than the unconscious Naruto!

"Lord Danzo, the Jinchuriki has been brought."

He knelt down and placed Naruto on the ground from his shoulder.

"well done."

Danzo's single eye scanned the unconscious Naruto.

Several Root members stepped forward, picked up the unconscious Naruto, and darted back behind Danzo.

Seeing Naruto unconscious, Danzo carefully examined him and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.
