My Sign-in System in Naruto

Seeing Haru's confidence and unwavering determination, Hiruzen Sarutobi also made up his mind to let Haru proceed.

"But promise me, no matter what, you must not harm Naruto Uzumaki."

Hiruzen looked directly into Haru's eyes, needing his assurance.

"I will."

Haru responded without hesitation, then walked past Hiruzen.

Although Yugito had suffered severe injuries during her battle with the Nine-Tails, her recovery as a jinchūriki was remarkably fast.

With the help of the medical team, Yugito quickly regained consciousness and was taken back to prison by the Anbu, with additional security measures to prevent another escape.

Haru, however, was more direct. After Yugito was returned to her cell, he went to see her.

"Yugito."

Haru greeted her as he had the guards open her cell.

His appearance quickly caused a stir.

After all, having successfully stopped the Nine-Tails, Haru had instantly become a hero in the village.

The Anbu ninjas present looked at him with admiration.

"I remember now!"

Suddenly, one of the Anbu ninjas exclaimed. Due to the darkness earlier, he hadn't immediately recognized Haru's face. Now, seeing him up close, he realized who Haru was.

"What do you remember?"

The others couldn't help but ask.

"It's Haru."

The ninja took a deep breath and began to explain how Haru, at such a young age, had become an Anbu squad leader and how he had simultaneously accepted challenges from Kakashi, Yamato, and others.

Almost no one who knew about the battle had believed in Haru.

Yet, facing an entire well-trained Anbu squad, Haru had simply stood there and defeated Kakashi and the others using genjutsu.

Moreover, even now, Kakashi and the others hadn't woken up.

This was also why Kakashi and his team hadn't been present during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

This incident had undoubtedly added to Haru's legendary status.

In fact, before this, the Anbu had been privately discussing Haru's origins.

But only now did he connect the two events.

The Anbu ninjas around him all gasped in shock.

"So it's him!"

"Do you know what's most unbelievable? According to the information I have, Haru only attended the ninja academy for one day before graduating."

"One day? Even Itachi took a year!"

The Anbu ninjas were stunned by this revelation.

Before Haru, the record for the fastest graduation had been held by Itachi Uchiha.

Even now, everyone believed Itachi was a once-in-a-generation genius.

But compared to Haru, even Itachi's brilliance seemed dim.

"Do you think Haru will become the Fifth Hokage?"

"Why not? Is there anyone in the village more suitable than him? Not only is he incredibly strong, but he's also a descendant of the Senju clan."

"At such a young age, he's already an Anbu squad leader, and today he saved the entire village."

However, at that moment, a ninja who had been quietly listening to their conversation chimed in with a slightly mocking tone.

"Anbu squad leader? Your information is outdated. As far as I know, Haru is now the leader of the Root organization, having taken over Danzo-sama's position."

"What?!"

This statement caused an uproar.

All the ninjas couldn't help but look at Haru with astonishment.

After all, a significant portion of the Anbu had been trained by the Root organization.

Moreover, aside from training ninjas, Root itself was a highly combat-effective department.

It had over a hundred jonin members.

Most importantly, the person who had founded and led Root was none other than Danzo Shimura!

A contemporary of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

A student of the Second Hokage.

A legendary figure who had participated in countless battles.

One of the core members of the Leaf's leadership.

And a Hokage advisor to Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Yet, someone of such stature had been replaced by the young Haru.

And Danzo-sama hadn't even voiced any dissatisfaction!

How terrifying was that?

"Honestly, after seeing Haru, do you still think Kakashi-senpai and Itachi Uchiha are geniuses?"

One Anbu ninja blurted out.

He even began to question what the term "genius" truly meant.

And almost everyone was certain.

Haru would likely become the youngest Kage in history.

Meanwhile, Haru completely ignored their astonishment. His reason was simple: he hadn't come here in the middle of the night to listen to them praise how amazing he was.

"Haru..."

Yugito's voice was low. Her injuries had mostly healed. "I won't tell you how to become a perfect jinchūriki."

Perhaps Haru's strength was indeed formidable, and even the mighty Nine-Tails wasn't his match.

But no matter what, she was a ninja of the Cloud Village.

She wouldn't betray her village's greatest secret out of fear of Haru's power.

"You heard that, huh?" Haru glanced at the wary Yugito and spoke softly.

"Yes, I heard everything clearly. But... you'll never get the method to become a perfect jinchūriki from me. Not even with genjutsu."

Yugito's tone was firm.

For perfect jinchūriki like her, genjutsu was the least of their worries.

With Matatabi's power, her injuries would heal quickly.

Yugito was confident that even Haru couldn't break her resolve.

"Do you know what the most interesting part is?" Haru smiled faintly.

"What do you mean?" Yugito frowned, not understanding what Haru was getting at.

"I'm just here to go through the motions. As for the method to become a perfect jinchūriki, I don't need it. I just need to see you, say a few words, and then tell Hiruzen that I've obtained the Cloud Village's secret."

Haru paused and even directly revealed the method the Cloud Village used to create perfect jinchūriki before turning and leaving without another word.

Yugito was left standing there, her eyes wide, completely baffled by what had just happened.

How did this guy know such a secret?

"By the way, to be reverse-summoned to Mount Myōboku, I first need to sign the summoning contract."

Haru suddenly remembered that the summoning contract scroll was in Jiraiya's possession.
