Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

"Huh?"

"This kid is very clever. He once analyzed the situation in Sunagakure and completely figured out Sunagakure's pain points, forcing Sunagakure to lose some opportunities, so..."

"..."

"Also, that kid believes that Uchiha Obito might be in our organization because Sasori and Kakuzu are both rogue ninjas, so..."

Speaking of which, even Black Zetsu couldn't continue.

Because Uchiha Obito was really there!

Even if they tried to explain that there was no Uchiha Obito in the Akatsuki, would Konoha really listen?

Obviously not. Uchiha Obito was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails incident. They would investigate regardless of whether the clues were useful or not.

And thinking in a darker direction...

Even if Konoha didn't think Uchiha Obito was there, they could still investigate along this line and possibly infiltrate a small country. Why not?

They could even do some balancing of accounts.

The independent investigation team should have enough funding to support it, right? Wouldn't there be something they could do with that?

"So, Konoha's eyes are on us?"

Nagato's expression was also very unsightly. At this stage, their organization still needed to keep a low profile.

The Gedo Statue had not yet been fully nurtured and could not devour the Tailed Beasts. This process would take at least several more years.

Maintaining a low profile, recruiting new members, and raising funds were their current tasks.

But now, a mission has gotten Konoha to target them!

"Yes, they even captured Kankuro, probably to get more information."

Black Zetsu said helplessly, looking up at Pain and continuing.

"Although I know we can't give more information to Iwagakure, it's hard to say what that kid will figure out.

As far as I know, he has already set his sights on various small countries, so..."

Nagato didn't want to say anything after hearing this. That kid was so troublesome?

Such trouble was definitely not what he wanted, because it would definitely affect their future plans!

"What's your idea, assassinate him?"

Nagato pondered for a long time before controlling Pain to ask.

"No, it's a bit difficult to kill him. He has the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Black Zetsu was also annoyed. The Flying Thunder God was too overpowered, or rather, any space-time ninjutsu was exceptionally overpowered.

Just like that idiot Obito, who could do whatever he wanted with Kamui.

"What we need to do is deceive him and not let them suspect Amegakure.

In addition, we also need to speed up the progress, recruit more members, and let them continue to operate in other villages, so as to divert Konoha's attention.

So, in order to provide some bargaining chips, we can try to actively recruit some people. What do you think of Zabuza Momochi?"

"Zabuza Momochi?"

Nagato frowned upon hearing this name. He knew who the owner of this name was, one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, wielding the Executioner's Blade, a good character.

But Nagato seemed to remember that this guy had long lost his fighting spirit. He was defeated by a Konoha genin during the Third Shinobi World War.

Not only him, that Konoha genin seemed to have shattered the entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen, killing some and injuring others.

Could such a person really still play a role?

Thinking of this, Nagato directly said.

"That's not enough. It's hard to say what this guy's current situation is. I need more assistance."

"What do you want?"

Black Zetsu frowned a little, but he couldn't refuse at this moment. Obito's sins were too great.

"I want to attack Hanzo. I want more information. In addition, I also need more information on Shimura Danzo and Shihara Hidezawa. Can you do that?"

"No problem."

As soon as Black Zetsu heard that it was this kind of thing, he directly gave a promise without even consulting Obito.

Collecting information was his forte, and he already had this information in his hands, so there was no need to be so troublesome.

"Actually, the information on Shihara Hidezawa doesn't need to be so troublesome. He is Danzo's man. Once you understand Danzo well enough, you will almost know who Shihara Hidezawa is."

"Hmph, I know in my heart. How to prevent them from focusing their attention here later is also something you need to consider more."

Nagato didn't want to waste words with this Venus flytrap. He directly controlled Pain to turn around and leave, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"Shimura Danzo ah..."

He could never forget how Shimura Danzo and Hanzo joined forces to force Yahiko to his death that day.

This was his lifelong pain, a problem he had to solve no matter what!

As for Shihara Hidezawa, as Danzo's man, he would inevitably be his trouble, and it was necessary to understand him clearly.

"Yahiko, I will soon settle Hanzo and let him go down to apologize to you."

"After that, I will focus my attention on Danzo and create a peaceful world!"

"I will definitely do it..."

"Don't be restrained, kid. Just treat this place like home!"

Konoha, inside the Senju clan's ancestral home, Tsunade smiled at Karin while drinking.

Her face was flushed, as if she was drunk, while Karin, who was sitting beside her, felt both awkward and warm. This was something she had never experienced before.

"I, I understand, Tsunade-sama..."

Karin is not the irritable woman in Hidezawa's memory. What you see more of in her is a kind of caution and a subconscious vigilance.

But there's no helping it. After being used as a test subject for so many years, some things can't be changed overnight.

"Tch."

Tsunade didn't say anything upon seeing this. She poured herself another cup of sake, which was a bit too much for Shizune, who was beside her.

"Tsunade-sama, drink a little less. It's not good to drink so much."

"Stop with the nonsense."

Tsunade glanced at Shizune unhappily, then turned to look at Shūzawa.

"And you, brat, I didn't expect your Wood Release to be so well-developed."

"Huh?"

Shūzawa was taken aback when he suddenly heard Tsunade calling him, but this also gave Yūgao a chance to pull her hand out from under the table.

She pretended to fix her hair and focused on eating, but her cheeks were a little red.

However, she couldn't help but glance at Shūzawa out of the corner of her eye. This guy was going too far, daring to mess around under Tsunade-sama's nose?

"You guy..."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, clearly noticing Shūzawa's little actions.

However, Shūzawa was very calm. After all, he was truly 'surrounded by beauties' right now, and he was being very restrained.

After sorting out his thoughts a bit, he smiled and said.

"It's mainly because the scroll that the teacher gave me was effective. I learned a lot."

"Is that so?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, leaned back slightly, and asked with a playful expression.

"I remember, it seems like you didn't have much time to read it, right? There's so much information, and you have missions every day. You even went out recently."

"I saw the key information."

Shūzawa said without changing his expression. In fact, whether he read these materials or not didn't really matter much, but he knew what to say.

Sucking up to the teacher? Not embarrassing.

"But teacher, you really are drinking a bit too much. Isn't that bad?"

Shūzawa was thinking about going back to study the skill points and further improve his abilities, so he followed Shizune's words and spoke.

After finishing the handover with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade directly dragged the three of them back and also arranged a small dinner party.

The purpose was to celebrate the addition of a new person here and to celebrate Shūzawa and Yūgao's successful return, but Shūzawa felt that she just wanted to drink.

Konoha is not like other places after all. In other places, if she got drunk and didn't have money, she could just run away.

But in Konoha, it wouldn't be so easy to run away.

Plus, she didn't come back to be the Hokage, so there was naturally no official expense reimbursement, and there was also a teacher watching over her. She wouldn't miss this rare opportunity to relax.

"Tch, leave me alone, I'm fine."

Tsunade didn't listen at all, and directly leaned back with her cup in hand. Her fair skin quickly attracted Shūzawa's attention.

However, Tsunade took another sip and said faintly.

"As for you, Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage's son, although you've shown your strength by doing this.

But you must remember one thing, sometimes don't always think about showing off. The ninja world is not peaceful, especially for some special geniuses, there are many dangers.

I hope you can think clearly about this and pay more attention to protecting yourself, understand?"

Shūzawa nodded. He understood Tsunade's concern. After all, in the ninja world, sometimes it really is 'the tallest tree in the forest will be blown down by the wind'.

Moreover, the lives of ninjas are sometimes particularly fragile. Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, could be blown to death even under Orochimaru's protection.

Shūzawa had offended so many people now, and they were all big shots. Maybe his troubles would become even greater in the future!

However, since Shūzawa wanted to be a 'Konoha civil servant', he naturally wanted to improve. He couldn't improve without getting his old boss Danzō promoted or killed.

Of course, compared to promotion, Shūzawa felt that ascension to heaven was a better choice for Danzō, and he was working hard for it.

"I understand, teacher."

"I hope you really understand."

Tsunade stretched lazily. She sat up a little straighter, but the wine in her cup was also finished.

"When you can get close to my great-grandfather, maybe the situation will be better. Don't always think that Flying Thunder God is safe. Weren't my second great-grandfather and that brat Minato Namikaze typical examples?"

"Yes, teacher."

Shūzawa nodded, but his gaze was attracted by something swaying, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

However, to his surprise, he suddenly found that this thing was getting closer and closer to him, and then it turned into a white and tender abyss.

He immediately looked up slightly, and for a moment, their eyes met.

Only then did he notice that Tsunade had leaned over towards him at some point, looking at him leisurely.

"By the way, you don't seem to have said what your dream is."

"Uh..."

Shūzawa was stunned for a moment, then he said righteously.

"I'm a man who's going to be Hokage!"

Shūzawa was definitely speaking from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest hint of joking.

Moreover, he had actually wanted to say these words to Tsunade for a long time, but he didn't have the opportunity before.

Now that the opportunity had come, he would make things clear!

As for whether she understood or not, that was not Shūzawa's problem.

"Tch, another ignorant brat."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade snorted coldly.

She always felt an indescribable feeling in her heart for people who dreamed of becoming Hokage.

For others, it was a dream, but for her, it was a curse!
