My Sign-in System in Naruto

"No, wait, I can explain..."

"I'm Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, the pervy..."

Before he could finish the word "pervy," the girls beating him up became even more aggressive.

"It's for my writing! I swear! Ah, not the face!"

Despite having traveled across many countries and witnessed all sorts of ninja and situations, Jiraiya always found himself at a loss when faced with this kind of scenario.

In the end, Jiraiya had no choice but to use a substitution jutsu to escape before things escalated further. He quickly hopped onto Gamabunta and fled the scene.

It wasn't until he reached the secluded forest border that Jiraiya finally stopped, leaning against a tree to catch his breath.

Haru, however, had been following him the entire time.

"You little brat."

Jiraiya sensed Haru's chakra and immediately turned to look at him.

"Just an accident."

"You're laughing! You haven't stopped!"

Jiraiya shot Haru a glare, muttering about how Haru seemed to be enjoying his misfortune.

However, after the earlier incident, Jiraiya had lowered his guard toward Haru.

"So, what's really going on? Are you from the Senju clan?" Jiraiya took a deep breath and regained his composure.

In truth, while the girls were angry, their most powerful attacks were just light punches. If he hadn't wanted to sneak a few more glances, he could have used the substitution jutsu the moment he landed.

After all, he was one of the legendary Sannin, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya!

"You could say that."

Haru nodded, admitting it outright. "Not only that, but I've also taken over Danzō Shimura's position as the leader of the Root organization."

Haru said this casually, but it left Jiraiya completely stunned.

Haru was not only from the Senju clan but had also become the leader of Root?

Jiraiya's eyes widened like a frog's as he stared at Haru in disbelief.

Was he talking about the same Danzō Shimura he knew?

That guy actually handed over power to someone else?

Was this a joke?

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask Hiruzen Sarutobi directly. He'll confirm everything I've said."

Seeing Jiraiya's expression, Haru added another line.

"Times... have really changed..."

Even Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh at this.

"So, can we talk properly now? Or do you want to fight again?"

Haru glanced around the area, feeling that Jiraiya had deliberately led him here.

This place was not only secluded but also had plenty of space.

Both he and Jiraiya were ninjas with substantial chakra reserves, and if they were to clash, large-scale jutsu would be inevitable.

"Since you're from the Senju clan, let's drop it."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and stood up from the grass. "However, I won't agree to take you to Mount Myōboku."

Even if everything Haru said was true, Jiraiya wouldn't take him or Naruto to Mount Myōboku.

Minato Namikaze had once been his most prized student, and Jiraiya had always felt guilty for not being in the village during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Because of this, he cherished Naruto more than anyone else.

But Haru's words made it sound like Naruto was just a tool.

What perfect jinchūriki?

Naruto was only six or seven years old—still a child.

"Now you're concerned about Naruto?"

Haru couldn't help but laugh. "Where have you been all this time?"

"Don't think I don't know. In fact, I know more about Naruto than anyone else. I know his father was Minato Namikaze, your most talented student."

"I also know his mother was Kushina Uzumaki. I even know that the name 'Naruto' comes from the protagonist of your first book."

"But where were you when Naruto was silently enduring loneliness, the alienation of his peers, and the scornful glares and exclusion from the villagers?"

Haru paused for a moment. "Naruto isn't a ninja yet he's just a child. The long-term suppression is what caused his rampage."

"And the villagers and ninjas who witnessed the Nine-Tails will only fear Naruto's power even more, leading to even colder glares and exclusion, creating an endless cycle."

"If this continues, Naruto will eventually lose control completely."

Haru bombarded Jiraiya with these points.

Any form of bullying is terrifying, with light cases taking a long time to recover from and severe cases affecting someone for life.

But what Naruto faced was the collective cold and hot violence of the entire village.

There was even a scene in the anime where Naruto was simply trying to buy a mask, only to be pushed to the ground by the shopkeeper, with everyone treating him like a plague.

To put it mildly, Haru even suspected that Naruto might have been under the influence of Kotoamatsukami from a young age to maintain his optimistic and cheerful personality.

He didn't even hold a grudge against the villagers, and there hadn't been a single rampage incident.

The Nine-Tails, known for its manipulative nature, didn't even take advantage of Naruto during his most vulnerable childhood.

After Haru finished speaking, even Jiraiya's gaze became heavy.

It was true that he cherished Naruto.

But it was also true that he had never been in the village.

"After last night, the villagers' treatment of Naruto, as well as Naruto's own heart, will undergo a drastic change. Rather than waiting for him to break down again, it's better to tell him the truth now."

"Then, help Naruto control the Nine-Tails' power and become the village's perfect jinchūriki."

"Jiraiya, I know you've traveled to many places. You must have heard of Kumogakure, the Hidden Cloud Village."

"There, jinchūriki aren't symbols of fear or despair. Instead, they're widely accepted Yugito and Killer Bee are perfect examples."

After hitting Jiraiya with a series of hard truths, Haru brought up the successful case of Kumogakure.

He also mentioned that, since Yugito was currently in Konoha, he had already figured out the method to become a perfect jinchūriki.

Taking him and Naruto to Mount Myōboku was Jiraiya's task.

"Maybe your idea is right, but Naruto is still just a child, and... the Nine-Tails' power isn't so easy to control." Jiraiya was deeply conflicted.

No matter what, Naruto was still too young.

It might be better to wait until he was older before teaching him how to control the Nine-Tails' power.

But Haru immediately shook his head. "Naruto is far smarter and stronger than you think. And... Naruto has me."

As soon as Haru finished speaking, his pupils began to shift. His black eyes quickly turned blood-red, with three tomoe clearly visible.

"Sharingan?!"

Jiraiya's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Haru in disbelief.

Not only did he possess the Wood Style of the Senju clan, but he also had the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan...

Just who was this Haru?
