Konoha: I, Uzumaki Sukuna, become stronger when I turn evil!

"No need."

"I can do it myself!"

Naruto answered without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, he ran towards home.

After all, Kabuto Yakushi was Orochimaru's man, and he really didn't want to stay with such a scary guy.

On the other hand, Kabuto Yakushi stood there, his eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, staring at the direction Naruto left.

He thought:

"It seems that he is not only familiar with Lord Orochimaru."

"Even Konoha Village seems to be very familiar."

"Could it be...he is also from Konoha?"

Naruto didn't know that Kabuto Yakushi's seemingly casual question was still testing him.

Through Naruto's unintentional answer, Kabuto Yakushi had already keenly noticed.

This mysterious strong man named Ryomen Sukuna seemed to have a close relationship with Konoha.

Kabuto Yakushi retracted his gaze and turned to look in the direction of the Root Organization base, then muttered to himself:

"Since we are back in Konoha Village, let's report to Danzo first."

"My current identity is a spy of the Root Organization."

After the words fell, a 'satisfied' arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he took out the Root Organization mask from his arms and put it on.

...

The sight returned to Naruto.

After Naruto and Kabuto Yakushi separated, they ran towards home.

Along the way, he was rare to be careful, first circling around the house, turning left and right, and did not go home directly.

In his eyes, Kabuto Yakushi was a person who followed Orochimaru, the traitor, and was not a good person.

Who knew that when he was full of confidence,

Lin Kong in the spirit world looked at him and asked in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

Naruto heard this and explained seriously:

"Of course I'm taking a detour to confuse the guy called Kabuto Yakushi!"

"Wait a few more times for me to go around, and he will definitely not know where I live!"

Lin Kong: "..."

Lin Kong was speechless for a moment.

He rubbed his forehead, which was a little painful, and cursed unhappily:

"Little brat, do you have any wrong understanding of your own strength?"

"Go home quickly! No one is following you!"

If you go around a few more times, you can get rid of Kabuto Yakushi, who is a multiple spy?

If he hadn't been in the spirit world, he would have slapped Naruto twice to wake him up!

If Kabuto Yakushi really wanted to follow Naruto, with Naruto's strength, it would be impossible for him to find out.

Do people who think they can "graduate" from the Anbu training class are all fools?

He had carefully sensed it a long time ago and confirmed that Kabuto Yakushi had not caught up.

Naruto's actions were as fierce as a tiger, but the actual effect was equal to 0.

"Didn't you come?"

"Hahaha... I thought too much!"

Naruto heard this, smiled awkwardly, and hurried home.

...

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still waiting anxiously in the office.

He frowned and sat in the Hokage's seat, and his left hand fingers seemed to be a little irritated and kept tapping the table.

The pipe in his right hand was brought to his mouth one after another.

The smoke from his mouth was almost blurry.

"Swish!!"

At this time, an Anbu suddenly appeared in the office.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately stood up excitedly and asked:

"Is there any news?"

The Anbu nodded and reported:

"Hokage-sama!"

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...suddenly came home!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised and happy when he heard this.

"Naruto is back home?"

"When did it happen?"

"Do you know where he went?"

Anbu shook his head and said:

"Just now, the patrolling Anbu suddenly saw the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"They saw the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with their own eyes and hurried back home."

"As for where the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki came back from, it has not been investigated yet."

"I have asked someone to keep a close eye on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and report to you first."

"Don't know where he came back from?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a puzzled look.

He was very curious about where Naruto went on the day he disappeared.

And how did he return to the village without even the Anbu noticing?

But Naruto's return finally made him feel much more at ease.

"I'll go see him in person."

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly put on his coat and rushed to Naruto's home.

He had too many questions to ask Naruto.

...

On the other side, the temporary base of the Root Organization.

"Danzo-sama!"

A Root member hurriedly ran into Danzo's room.

After seeing Danzo, he quickly reported:

"We found the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

When Danzo heard this,He suddenly became alert.

"Where is he now?"

"Just now, our people found that the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki suddenly came back."

"He is at home now, and our people are guarding outside."

"The people from the Anbu should have found it too."

The Root member explained hurriedly.

"Come back suddenly?"

Danzo's face darkened, and his face was full of suspicion.

Originally, according to his guess, the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki should be related to the deaths of Konoha ninjas in recent times.

He even thought that the disappearance of the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki was "fleeing for fear of crime".

But now...

The Nine-tailed Jinchuriki actually went home like nothing happened?

"Let's go!"

"Go to the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki's house!"

Danzo ordered decisively.

He must control the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki before Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As long as the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki is in his hands, he has plenty of ways to make the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki "confess his guilt!" ’

By then, Sarutobi Hiruzen will not be able to do anything to him!

Danzo acted decisively and rushed to Naruto's home with his men.

As soon as Danzo walked out of the temporary base, he met Kabuto Yakushi who was wearing a Root member mask.

"Kabuto?"

Danzo was stunned.

The masks of Root members are specially made, and each member has a different pattern.

Danzo recognized it at a glance. The mask in front of him was Kabuto's mask.

"Danzo-sama."

Kabuto shouted respectfully to Danzo.

He wanted to report his undercover work to Danzo, but was interrupted by Danzo:

"I still have things to deal with, you wait inside first."

"It's just right, I have a new task for you."

After Danzo finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Kabuto was confused and had to wait at the temporary base of the Root organization.

...

After a while.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo arrived downstairs of Naruto's house almost at the same time.

As soon as the two sides met, their faces instantly darkened.

"Danzo!"

"What are you doing here?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a somewhat unhappy tone.

He originally suspected that Naruto's disappearance was related to Danzo.

Now that Naruto has just returned, Danzo immediately rushed here, obviously he has some bad intentions again.

"Humph!"

Danzo snorted coldly and said bluntly:

"Hiruzen! Don't pretend to be confused!"

"We all know that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki returned after disappearing."

"Give him to me for personal interrogation, and everything will be clear!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned black instantly, and his attitude was firm:

"Don't even think about it!"

"I will ask Naruto in person what happened."

"You don't need to interrogate him!"

"No one is allowed to touch him before there is solid evidence!"

He knows Danzo too well.

Once Naruto is handed over to Danzo for interrogation, even if these murders have nothing to do with Naruto, he will be tortured to confess his crimes.

At that time, he really can't protect Naruto.

"Huruzen! At this point, do you still want to protect him?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen without letting go.

"You will definitely regret it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not afraid at all. He met Danzo's eyes and said firmly:

"Naruto is also a child of Konoha!"

"As the Hokage, I have the responsibility to protect him!"

"You are abusing your power! I will propose with several other Konoha advisors to remove you from your position as Hokage!"

"..."

For a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo confronted each other again, neither of them giving in.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and then they signaled their men to stay outside and walked towards Naruto's room.
