In Konoha, Naruto lies down

The order became a shackle that Temari could not disobey.

More importantly, she didn't hate it, because a year had passed, and Naruto had been avoiding her for a year. That feeling and those words always stirred her heart, and it had nothing to do with her personality.

It's a secret that can't be shared with others, an itch deep within. Everyone has their own unique quirks that can't be revealed, but they don't affect their normal lives.

But this does not mean that Temari has lost her mind, on the contrary she is very clear-headed. She is just playing and experiencing another self, but if Naruto asks her to kill Gaara or betray Sand Village, she will immediately break free from the shackles.

He hadn't thought of using Temari to do anything, but simply to steady her.

"Is this okay?" Temari asked nervously.

This feeling was somewhat strange. The two words "command" locked her down, but also created a faint connection between the two of them, at least easing the relationship a little.

"No." Naruto pointed at Temari, "You're too nervous. I don't want to see you being timid in front of me. You're just like you were before."

........

Naruto left Konoha Hospital.

Temari's problem was temporarily resolved, at least on the surface things were back to normal. He was very satisfied with this, and he felt much happier throughout the day.

Hokage Building.

"The guy from Sunagakure can't be discharged from the hospital yet, so he can't come these few days." Naruto said indifferently to a member of the Root.

"Tell this news to Lord Danzo, so as not to waste his time."

Aburame Tone was stunned for a moment. A Genin had no right to walk up to him alone and even unilaterally cancel Danzo's plan in such a nonchalant tone.

It happened somewhat suddenly, as if a ragged child walked up to the king and told him in a tone of notification that he would have no food to eat today.

The matter was a bit absurd, but Aburame Toune still asked seriously.

"why?"

"You don't need to know why, just tell Lord Danzo directly." Naruto, dressed casually and looking lazy, pointed at himself and said.

"Tell him I said so."

Aburame Tone did not regard Naruto as an ordinary Genin. He knew some information about him and that there were three ninjas behind him... After hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

Naruto walked silently to the window, waiting for Danzo's anger, looking into the distance.

Danzo's headquarters wasn't in the Hokage Building, he just happened to be there because he needed to discuss something. Occasionally, a ninja would walk through the corridor, hurriedly carrying documents.

Aburame Tone came out, followed by someone, not Danzo but Yamanaka Fu.

A few years ago, when the Root organization was rebuilt, all the clans with secret techniques contributed manpower, including the Uchiha clan, the Yamanaka clan, and the Aburame clan.

Because Shino was young, Tone took the initiative to replace him in the Root organization. Due to his outstanding ability, he became Danzo's right-hand man, and the other person was Yamanaka Fuu who was selected to join the Root organization at the same time.

With long orange hair and a neutral face, his hairstyle makes him the leader of the F4 among the Yamanaka clan.

Of the Yamanaka clan... Naruto stared at Yamanaka Takefu, secretly thinking that soul-based ninjutsu would be useless to him. His soul was probably much thicker than others, although he didn't know how much thicker, but...

Last time, Ino seemed to want to use the Heart Turn Technique on him, but he gently pushed her away.

As Yamanaka Feng approached, Naruto's heart suddenly became active. He really wanted Yamanaka Feng to use the Heart Transformation Technique on him, to see if he could blow his mind apart with one punch.

As for poisonous insects... Naruto glanced at the Aburame's root. The Nine-Tails' chakra should be able to withstand it. It would be great if he could learn senjutsu, but unfortunately the system doesn't allow that option.

When I rescued the three Sand Village siblings a while ago, the system beeped for a while, but I still haven't seen the panel options pop up. Damn, what a shitty system, if I lie down, it will lie down too, right?

Just as Naruto was mentally backstabbing the system, Yamanaka Feng walked up to Naruto and said expressionlessly.

"Danzo-sama understands, please return."

Hearing this, Naruto was somewhat surprised that the old thief Danzo wasn't angry at all. He lowered his eyes for a moment, then gave up for the moment and nodded.

"it is good."

Having said that, he turned and slowly walked away.

This was just a test. If you want to commit suicide, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. There is no need to rush now. No matter what, Naruto will not give up squeezing the top management.

He firmly believed that if the windows were not allowed to be opened, the roof would be broken.

Since the top brass never gave up the idea of ​​developing Jinchūriki, then he could squeeze them out and become the top brass himself. Not being Hokage doesn't mean you can't become a top brass.

If you can’t influence the opinions of the top management, then become a top management yourself!

On the contrary, with Naruto's current resources, becoming a high-level official is much easier than becoming Hokage. Moreover, this thing does not require any academic qualifications or thresholds.

It's probably similar to the process for members of parliament. There's no age limit, and all you need is support.

He didn't need to be a real high-ranking official, he just needed to be a figurehead to block the high-ranking officials' thoughts on Jinchūriki. After all, he didn't have the time to deal with all those messy things, so it was impossible for him to really become a high-ranking official.

Theoretically, it is not possible, but in practice, whether it is possible or not is just a matter of a word from the Hokage's direct descendants.

Hokage's office.

"You want a high-level position?" Tsunade turned around and glanced at Naruto with suspicion. "Is this what you came up with?"

"Um...Isn't it possible?" Naruto was a little embarrassed. "Isn't this what you hinted to me, Tsunade-sama?"

Seeing Tsunade's doubtful look, he realized that his thoughts seemed to be out of sync with Tsunade's. However, he still didn't understand where the problem was.

"It's not impossible. The higher-ups haven't mentioned any age restrictions." Tsunade knocked on the table, her brows furrowed. "After all, Gaara is about the same age as you, and he's almost the same age as you. He's even about to become the Fifth Kazekage."

"That's good." Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

"But...you said this was the method I hinted at you to think of?" Tsunade looked at Naruto with complicated eyes.

he asked cautiously.

"I mean that you should refuse in person, humiliate those old guys, and make them throw their damn proposal back into their stomachs." Tsunade said, leaning back in her office chair.

"You've gone astray!" She pointed at Naruto and said with some disappointment.

Hearing this, Naruto's face was filled with black lines. Was she asking him to help her vent her anger? Damn, cunning old woman.

"Anyway, it's not impossible for you to be listed as a senior executive." Tsunade said, "After all, you are quite steady and mature in your work, and smarter than Gaara from Sunagakure."

"But first, you need a status worthy of a high-ranking official."

He actually understood what he was saying, just like Danzo was the disciple of the Second Hokage and a comrade of the Third Hokage. Choji's father was a comrade of the Fourth Hokage and the head of the Akimichi clan.

If Naruto wants to become a high-ranking official, everything else will not be a problem, at least he needs to have a decent identity.

Jiraiya's disciples were not bad, but none of the top leaders were not from the Hokage team, so there was nothing special about them. As for the clan leader?

He is alone now, unless he marries into another family, otherwise...

The office suddenly became quiet. Naruto thought for a moment and then looked up.

"How about becoming the head of the Uzumaki clan?"

Chapter 213: After Insomnia, Would You Want to See the Starry Sky?

"Poof!" Tsunade had just raised her teacup and hadn't swallowed it when she spit out the wine in it. "What did you say?"

Naruto looked at the transparent wine stains on Tsunade's lips and repeated it solemnly.

"Become the head of the Uzumaki clan."

"You're the only one in the family, right?" Tsunade wiped her mouth with a piece of paper, her expression stern. "Are you kidding me?"

Naruto was very calm about this and started to explain.

"I have looked up the history of Konoha's major events. The Uzumaki clan has a very deep connection with Konoha. After many inquiries, I have confirmed that I am a descendant of the Uzumaki clan."

"As for the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who was..."

"Ahem." Tsunade interrupted Naruto, stood up and said nervously, "Since you want to be the clan leader, then be the clan leader. It's just a figurehead anyway."

"I'll have Jingyin submit the paperwork for you later. It's not that difficult. Although your idea is bold, it may not succeed. Let's go through the procedures first."

"Ah! Procedural justice must be upheld?" Naruto cried out.

"What are you talking about? You don't want to threaten them, so this is the only way." Tsunade pressed the teacup on the table and frowned slightly. "After Jiraiya comes back, this matter may be able to turn around."

Tsunade spoke vaguely and seemed a little nervous when she mentioned the previous Jinchūriki. Naruto took it all in, but didn't ask any more questions.

"OK then."

He didn't continue to pester Tsunade, as the current difficult issues were increasing. Becoming the head of the Uzumaki clan was just a concept, so he just wanted to greet Tsunade first.

Naruto didn't care whether this thing could succeed or not. Even if it didn't, it would at least disgust the higher-ups.

He could come up with a lot of tricks like this. Even if it meant wasting the senior management's time, as long as one of them didn't work out, he would be determined to try them one by one, disgusting the senior management.

Leave the Hokage Building.

Seeing that it was still early, Naruto asked around but couldn't find Sakura, so he simply went home and lay down.

The Nine-Tailed Fox has been going out more often recently, like a cat constantly stealing fish. If Naruto hadn't known it had no fowl, he would have thought it was just being too hasty.

It was not until night fell that Naruto woke up, his stomach growling with hunger.

He was not a particularly self-disciplined person. No one cared about him on weekdays, and his living habits were not much better. He walked around the open balcony and found that Jiuwei had not returned yet.

"Damn, could Kurama really have run away with a female dog?" Naruto muttered.

The balcony was silent, the distance was pitch black, and the sultry midsummer night breeze was blowing gently.

Naruto stood there for a moment, lost in thought, and thought of his unfinished mission in the Snow Country, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy. The invisible Flying Thunder God was like a thorn in his heart, and he could never forget it.

If it weren't for that accident, I'm afraid I would have gotten the Invisible Flying Thunder God by now. But something happened in the middle, and Fenghua Xiaoxue also left.

When the quest target leaves, the quest line stagnates.

After being stunned for a while, he suddenly came to his senses.

Jiraiya will be returning to the village soon, and when he does, he'll probably have to start preparing to uproot the Akatsuki. According to Tsunade, she wants him to learn Senjutsu first.

But the celestial arts... Naruto subconsciously felt a certain repulsion towards the old toad from Myoboku Mountain, that inexplicable ability to predict the future, and the aura of the child of destiny.

If we really met, I wonder if I could see the soul from another world inside me. I don't know much else, but Ashura's chakra must have disappeared.

After all, although the system was a bit broken, its authority seemed to be higher than that of this world. It was like a key to another world, piercing through Asura's vital point.

We'll have to wait and see for a while until Jiraiya comes back to find out the specific situation. If there's really no other way, we'll have to bite the bullet and go to Myoboku Mountain to meet the old toad.

Looking at the gradually darkening night, Naruto lowered his eyes for a while, then turned around, locked the door and went out.

The Hokage Building was brightly lit.

In the filing room, the sound of pens scratching echoed quietly throughout the office.

Knock, knock, knock. There was a sudden knock on the door.

Sakura looked up from the pile of documents, her eyes showing a hint of fatigue, but it quickly disappeared.

"Please come in."

The door opened.

The sound penetrated before the person came in.

"I couldn't find you during the day. Were you working overtime here?" Naruto leaned lazily against the door, looking at Sakura with some amusement.

"Wouldn't it be boring to work overtime all day? You don't have any time for yourself."

"Boring?" Hei Ying raised her eyes slightly, put down the pen in her hand, and asked seriously, "If you don't work overtime, what should a normal person do at this time?"

"Who knows? Normal people are probably working the night shift too." Naruto said as he walked towards her, moths lingering on the ceiling light. "If it were me, I'd probably be lying down and sleeping."

He noticed that Sakura said the word "normal" and his eyelids twitched slightly, but he still pretended to be calm.

"Lie down and sleep?" Sakura murmured repeatedly, "But I can't sleep. I've been asleep long enough. I can't close my eyes when I want to."

The desk is located on one side of the wall, and the ceiling light is not arranged properly. Instead of hanging in the middle of the office, it is tilted to the left side against the wall. As a result, the desk can only be tucked into a corner.

"Is there nothing in particular you want to do?" Naruto asked, standing in front of her, blocking the light and looking down at her.

"Yes, kill her." Sakura raised her eyes and looked up at Naruto, "Will you feel bad?"

Naruto understood that the "she" he was referring to was probably Pink Sakura. Did the secondary personality want to kill the primary personality? However, such a thing was not impossible.

He didn't want to hide anymore and wanted to find out what was going on.

"No." He said calmly.

"Really?" Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Should I really do it? You'll never see the familiar her again."

"It doesn't matter." Naruto's heart skipped a beat and he became nervous.
