Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Orochimaru: "I bet Naruto with black frames is absolutely right."

Orochimaru: "That's definitely Danzo and Sarutobi-sensei's usual style."

Orochimaru: "I just don't know what the hidden story is."

the other side.

Within the underground base of the root tissue.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was rather unpleasant.

It seemed to realize something.

I looked back at my best buddy.

His best friend remained calm, seemingly unaffected by the images on the large, black-framed screen.

Or perhaps... it doesn't care about what Naruto with the black frame is about to discover.

So what if they find out?

According to Danzo Shimura.

If he becomes Hokage in the future.

Then all problems cease to be problems.

Black spots?

It's very simple, just brainwash them a few more times.

He then recounted all the good things he had done while in the shadows of Konoha.

Some things that can't be cleared up should just be hidden.

Anyway, as long as we don't mention it, no one will know.

As for those who know... deal with them, or forcibly bring them back to the Root organization for forced brainwashing.

Finally, simply seal away the historical documents that are recorded.

Who could have known that their beloved Hokage was once the darkest figure in Konoha?

"Damn fox demon!"

The adorable yellow zombie stood still for a few seconds.

Then he cursed angrily.

【"Um?!"】

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Moegi and Naruto.

Naruto slowly withdrew his hand.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes at him, clearly exasperated.

[Then he turned to look at Moegi.]

"This is really troublesome... You're violating the ban, are you planning to...?"

Before Shikamaru could finish speaking, Moegi turned and ran.

"That guy...didn't he send love letters to Naruto?" Ino was about to get angry, but when she saw Moegi, she choked on her words.

"It's alright, let's go home first." Naruto smiled and urged the others to leave.

Since Naruto has said so, the Konoha 1s naturally won't argue.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Naruto.

Even the ANBU ninjas and Root organization ninjas hiding in the shadows are no exception.

By the time they realized what was happening...

[MoeGirl has already disappeared without a trace, using the crowd to conceal herself.]

[For the few young heroes.]

This kind of thing is actually quite common.

[Of course, it's been since I got together with Naruto.]

"Naruto."

Shikamaru, hands behind his head, glanced at Naruto, who had somehow ended up at the back of the group.

[Faced with Shikamaru's questioning gaze, Naruto's lips curled into his signature gentle smile.]

"Seriously...this is too much trouble, I don't want to deal with it...you just need to be careful."

Shikamaru looked away.

How could he not guess what Naruto was going to do?

But since Naruto has made this decision, he won't stop him.

[Among the young heroes, besides Hinata who can spar with Naruto occasionally, Shikamaru is probably the one who "understands" Naruto's strength the most.]

The ninja academy exams have just finished.

Konoha was quite lively today.

The cockroaches chatted and laughed.

[A street corner.]

[The feeling of being monitored, which completely disappeared after I left the school.]

[Naruto forms a hand seal with one hand.]

【Bang--】

After a puff of white smoke, Naruto's true form vanished from the spot.

[The shadow clones followed the cockroaches home.]

With Shikamaru providing cover, the Konoha 1s didn't notice anything.

As for passersby, Naruto's speed is so fast that it's impossible to see with the naked eye, and even if they did see him, they would be completely baffled.

On the other side.

On the most bustling street in Konoha.

[Various shouts and arguments were mixed together.]

A petite figure darted swiftly through the crowd.

After a while of moving around, the petite figure disappeared.

[Kazamatsuri Moegi was panting heavily.]

She ran with almost all her might the entire way.

This is the limit.

However, at that very moment...

[Whoosh—]

【"ah...?!"】

A three-pronged kunai appeared at her feet.

The sudden appearance of the trident-shaped kunai startled her, and she instinctively wanted to scream.

But just as she opened her mouth...

She was enveloped in a warm embrace, her small mouth covered by a large hand.

【It’s over! 】

[Kazamatsuri Moeki's nose tingled with emotion.]

My heart is filled with despair.

She didn't know what had happened, only that the handsome Naruto wouldn't lie to her.

[Naruto-senpai was reminding me that I had unknowingly fallen into danger.]

"I'm sorry... Naruto-senpai, I couldn't hold on until you got here..."

[Moegi closed her eyes in despair.]

【"Mother......"】

"It's me," Naruto said softly.

At this moment, Moegi is completely different from before.

[That unusual hairstyle is gone.]

Her hair fell naturally, almost making Naruto not recognize her.

Hmm... to be honest, this girl looks better with a normal hairstyle.

【Naruto-senpai?!】

[Kazamatsuri Moeki's delicate body trembled.]

She then opened her eyes, and what greeted her was that handsome face that had been constantly appearing in her mind and dreams lately.

[In a fit of excitement.]

【Gurgle—】

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Naruto wasn't surprised.

[Whoosh—]

The next instant, Naruto disappeared from the spot, carrying Kazamatsuri Moegi.

[After a few breaths.]

[The ANBU ninjas arrived first.]

"Gone?"

"Don't lose them."

"Maybe we should stop here and find someone else. This kid seems a bit off."

"Furthermore, if the Third Hokage finds out what we're doing..."

"What are you still saying at a time like this?"

"Didn't you see the Root organization members following so closely?"

"That brat has the blood of the Thousand Hands flowing through his veins; we can make more money from him then."

"Don't worry, even if the clan chief finds out later, he'll only give us a verbal warning at most."

"It's not easy to find a big fish like that kid these days."

【"......"

After discussing for a while, the group decided to split up and search for Kazamatsuri Moegi.

Shortly after they left, Root ninjas also found their way here.

"Traces left by the Dark Side."

"These people are here again."

"The captain seems quite concerned about that kid. Let's keep searching."

"The Anbu won't let us act prematurely until things reach that point."

"Okay, then find her before the Anbu finds her, and take her away. The captain will take full responsibility."

[Whoosh—]

After erasing all traces, the Root ninjas left.

After both groups have left.

A figure slowly emerged from not far away.

[These are shadow clones left behind by Naruto.]

"Is the targeting of the Senju still ongoing?"

[Could it be an old man?]

"No, we can glean a lot of information from the conversation between those ANBU ninjas."

[“They appear to be from the Sarutobi clan, and are currently interfering with Root's missions, intending to profit from it.”]

[The Root organization wants people...]

【"hehe."】

The shadow clone chuckled.

【Bang--】

[Then it automatically dispelled the shadow clone.]

[Memories and experiences are returned to the original body.]

Naruto frowned slightly.

"Very well, big fox. Let's make contact with the old man's Anbu and Shimura Danzo's Root organization first."

"It's time for blood to be drawn."

A look of eager anticipation ignited in Naruto's eyes.

"Hmph, just a bunch of worthless trash. If you can't even handle this kind of scum, you might as well give up and go to sleep." The big fox remained disdainful.

At that moment, Naruto felt his hand being grasped by a small hand.

Looking down, I saw that two lines of tears had appeared on Meng Huang's adorable little face.

"Naruto-senpai..."

"Please... help me... my mom... my mom..."

【Mother?】

Naruto's eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly smiled gently again.

[Gently stroking the girl's hair.]

The girl had a faint musty smell.

[Clearly, they haven't had a proper rest in a while, and their living conditions... are terrible.]

"Eat your fill first, then we'll talk."

"I asked the owner to pack another one; I'll take it back to your mother later."

"Naruto-senpai..."

The little yellow dog's lips were tightly furrowed, and large tears kept falling.

Naruto nodded slightly.

[Then Meng Huang wiped away her tears and quickly picked up her chopsticks.]

"Eat slowly, there's no need to rush."

Having said that, Naruto looked up at the shopkeeper.

At this moment, the shopkeeper's expression was somewhat dazed.

[Since the situation was so sudden, Naruto was too lazy to use his transformation jutsu, so he simply fed the shopkeeper a small genjutsu.]

[Not long after.]

Naruto leaves with Moegi.

[The little yellow creature also had a takeout meal in its hand.]

[Even the cute yellow dog's eyes are shining.]

However, Naruto's expression was somewhat gloomy.

[They actually used this method... This village is beyond terrible... No, it's beyond terrible!]

【call--】

Taking a deep breath and calming himself, Naruto picked up Mogi.

"Hurry up, take me to your house before those people react."
