"Mom...I'm home."

[Standing at the door.]

[Kazamatsuri Moegi suddenly became nervous.]

"I brought you some food."

[Watching the girl in front of me, her shoulders trembling.]

Naruto frowned.

Even before getting close, a stench of decay filled the air.

He stepped forward and said softly, "Those people are here."

[The little yellow cat immediately became anxious upon hearing this.]

"Naruto-senpai!"

Naruto shook his head. "Trust me, you'll be fine, but I might have to stay out of the public eye for a while until things are cleared up."

[Meng Huang paused for a moment, then quickly nodded.]

She didn't know what Naruto was planning, but since he said that, he must have his reasons.

[Squeak—]

Just then.

The sound of a door opening came from inside the room.

[Whoosh—]

The next instant, Naruto vanished from his spot.

The door slowly opened.

An indescribable stench wafted out.

[But Meng Huang is already used to it.]

【"Cute?"】

A faint female voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, an unsettling face peeked out from behind the door.

Judging from her facial features, the woman's appearance is not bad.

However, her skin was unusually bad.

It looked completely devoid of moisture, utterly dry.

[His dark circles were the deepest and most extensive Naruto had ever seen.]

Her eyes were red and lifeless.

The hand gripping the doorknob was dry, thin, and withered.

【"Mother!"】

[Meng Huang hurriedly held up the packaged food in her hand.]

However.

[Moegi's mother seemed not to have seen it.]

"Where did you go?"

"Didn't Mom tell you to stay home?!"

The next second, Menghuang's mother became extremely irritable.

He reached out and pulled Menghuang home.

[Whoosh—]

"He's back after all."

"The Anbu members haven't arrived yet, let's make our move!"

"Wait, it's the Konoha Police Force!"

Several Root ninjas were stunned.

[I didn't expect the Konoha Guard to act so quickly.]

The house is very dark.

[Meng Huang knows that the power was cut off because the electricity bill was too long overdue.]

After her eyes adjusted to the indoor lighting, Menghuang froze.

Two men dressed as Konoha ninja were standing in her house, staring intently at her.

"Sir, could you please...?"

"Don't even think about raising prices."

"That's all there is."

A Konoha Guard ninja tossed a small black bag onto the table.

"But she's my daughter!"

"No...we can't let it end like this!"

"Also, I've completed the tasks you assigned me!"

"Hmph!" another Konoha guard ninja snorted coldly.

"The extra portion I gave you last week was for the owner of the shop across the street, but you kept it for yourself. I haven't even settled the score with you for that yet!"

With that, the two walked towards Moegi.

"Sir, I've even mortgaged the shop to you... please give me a little more!"

[The mother of the cute yellow cat is still not giving up.]

[Outside the window.]

Seeing this, the Root ninjas could only shake their heads helplessly.

[I didn't expect to be a step too late.]

The ANBU ninjas weren't fast, but the Konoha Guards were, and they could appear openly and brazenly.

It seems this mission was a failure; it didn't save the organization any money.

[Swish, swish, swish——]

[One of the Root ninjas took out a mission report and began writing.]

No one noticed that Naruto was hiding on the roof.

[Look down.]

Naruto was stunned.

This matter left him in disbelief.

["The 0730 drug experiment has ended. The test subject... will die immediately upon taking another dose, with no chance of recovery. The test subject survived for twenty-three days, but both his physical and mental health are depleted at an extremely rapid rate."]

"Moreover, they were completely enslaved by 0730, both mentally and physically."

"The experimental subject sold off all her assets, even herself and her daughter, without hesitation to the Konoha Guard..."

"The medicine brought by the Konoha Guard this time contains the cells of the First Hokage; its effects remain to be observed..."

This scene took everyone by surprise.

Then I felt incredibly angry.

These people seemed so skilled that it was clear this wasn't their first time doing it.

Moreover, it's a three-way collaboration.

Anbu, Root, and Konoha Guard.

The Konoha Guard, beloved by the villagers, set a trap.

The assets were then seized by ninja from the Anbu (secret branch of the Kuomintang).

Finally, the root tissue obtained the experimental report and the experimental subjects.

That is, children like Moegi.

Tobirama Senju: "Damn it!!"

Tobirama Senju: "You four, get out here!"

In the stands of the arena.

Koharu and Mitokado's faces turned pale instantly.

"Yan, are you aware of this?"

"No...we weren't involved at all!"

"Damn it... Danzo... how did he get his experimental subjects like this?"

Koharu and Mitokado exchanged a glance.

It’s over.

This time it's really over.

now.

An eerie silence fell over Konoha.

[Black! Absolutely fucking black!]

Naruto took a deep breath.

[Watching Moegi being forcibly taken away by the Konoha Guards.]

The packed lunch I had just happily carried away was now scattered all over the floor.

"Mommy~!!!"

After realizing what had happened, Meng Huang stared at her mother in disbelief.

Her mother, however, didn't turn back to look at her; instead, she rushed impatiently towards the small black bag.

[Whoosh—]

At this moment.

The Root organization's ninjas have directly intervened.

"You're here?"

"This is a contract of servitude."

"You know the rules."

[One of the Konoha Guard members smiled faintly.]

"I understand, I'll go back and tell the captain."

"Alright, just leave it in the usual spot." The two members of the Konoha Guard then handed the person and the indenture to the organization's ninja.

"By the way, be careful when you take your things to store them."

"Don't let the clan chief find out."

Before leaving, the Konoha guards jokingly offered a reminder.

"Also, my cousin in the ANBU... never mind, he's not just dealing with this target. If you guys are slow next time, I'll just hand him over to them."

The Root ninja accepted the indenture and then calmly looked at the two members of the Konoha Guard.

【Hahaha~】

"That's all for now. We'll be next soon. Remember to bring plenty of medicine; we're running out."

The two were so arrogant; they were a far cry from their usual approachable demeanor when patrolling Konoha.

Naruto glanced at the lifeless-eyed Moegi.

[No immediate danger to life.]

Her mother is not going to survive.

"You even say we tailed beasts are the embodiment of evil... You humans are the evil ones."
