My Sign-in System in Naruto

Pfft…

Hearing Hiruzen's words, Haru almost burst out laughing.

Trust me, if you meet Jiraiya's disciples, you'll definitely regret it!

However, Haru only thought this in his mind and didn't say it out loud.

Not just Hiruzen, but even Jiraiya himself would have a hard time accepting Nagato's transformation.

"By the way…"

Haru suddenly frowned, recalling something.

The reason Yahiko had died was because Danzō had discovered the Akatsuki organization and wanted to nip it in the bud. He had conspired with Hanzo of the Salamander to trap Nagato and Yahiko.

Indeed…

Most of the blame in the Naruto world could be pinned on Danzō.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Haru's silence, Hiruzen asked.

"Nothing."

Haru's thoughts were pulled back to reality. He glanced at Hiruzen and steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"So, the Land of Earth isn't a problem. The real issue is Sunagakure in the Land of Wind."

Sunagakure and Konoha had always maintained an alliance.

However, Sunagakure's living conditions had always been harsh.

Even though the Fourth Kazekage could extract gold dust from the sand and trade with other nations, it was difficult to improve the village's environment.

Water scarcity had always been a major issue for them.

If they saw an opportunity to attack Konoha, the alliance treaty would be nothing more than a fragile piece of paper.

In fact, even the Fourth Kazekage had long harbored intentions of attacking Konoha.

"Indeed."

Hiruzen nodded, also realizing this problem.

No matter what, due to its geographical location, the Land of Fire was at the center of the five great nations.

If these issues weren't handled properly, Konoha would find itself in an awkward position, attacked from both sides.

"Let's return to the village first."

Hiruzen thought for a moment and decided it would be better to discuss the issue of Sunagakure with Konoha's higher-ups.

Most importantly, they had more pressing matters to deal with.

The Uchiha clan's planned coup.

Of course, Hiruzen wouldn't bring this up now.

While Fu might be trustworthy, this matter was too sensitive.

And there was also Yugito.

She might be unconscious now, but it could also be a feint.

With the tailed beast's chakra, she might have woken up halfway and was just waiting for an opportunity to break free.

If Yugito learned about the Uchiha clan's situation, it could have a significant impact on the village.

That's why Hiruzen deliberately avoided mentioning the Uchiha.

Haru understood this as well.

"Anyway, leave this matter to me."

Haru didn't mention the Uchiha directly, but his words implied it.

After all, the check-in task had already indicated the next check-in location.

No matter what, he had to go to the Naka Shrine. It would be better to handle both matters at once.

Hiruzen looked at Haru and agreed.

However, Hiruzen also emphasized that he didn't want Haru to follow Danzō's path.

Hiruzen still cared deeply about the Uchiha clan.

If the issue could be resolved at its root, that would be ideal.

"I know."

But Haru wasn't that naive.

A significant portion of the Uchiha clan harbored hostility toward the village.

Getting them to feel a sense of belonging to the village wouldn't be easy.

The Kotoamatsukami he had was also used by Danzō.

Without Hashirama's cells, it couldn't be used for several years.

Itachi's Kotoamatsukami was likely the same. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to massacre the entire clan.

According to Haru's plan, he needed a list of which Uchiha members had developed an irreparable rift with the village.

'To complete this step, Fugaku's cooperation is indispensable.'

Haru thought to himself.

Due to Itachi joining the Anbu, many clan members resented him.

Relying on him wasn't realistic.

"I'll have to talk to Fugaku."

"I wonder if Itachi has already come clean to Fugaku."

If Itachi had already revealed everything to Fugaku and convinced him to join their side, that would be the best outcome.

"You…"

Just as Haru was rushing back to the village while pondering his next steps, Yugito, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.

She looked around and realized she was being carried on Fu's back in an awkward position.

Beside them were Hiruzen and Haru, hurrying along.

A, Shi, and Darui familiar faces were nowhere to be seen, and she couldn't sense their chakra.

Combined with the surrounding environment, Yugito concluded that they had left the Land of Iron.

"Where are you taking me?"

Yugito first tried to sneak attack Haru but found her limbs immobilized.

Not only that, but she also seemed to have lost her connection to Matatabi, unable to draw on the tailed beast's chakra.

"Don't struggle. My Wood Release has sealing properties that can suppress the tailed beast's chakra."

Haru noticed Yugito waking up and explained the situation.

This was a unique ability of Wood Release.

Even Yamato's Wood Release could suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra to some extent.

Let alone the Two-Tails, Matatabi.

"As for where we're taking you, what do you think? Of course, it's Konoha." Haru teased. "Since Kumogakure kidnapped our Hinata, as compensation, we're taking you."

"Heh."

Hearing Haru's words, Yugito let out a cold laugh.

As her consciousness and memories gradually returned, she had anticipated this possibility.

However, in her opinion, Haru's decision wasn't wise.

She wasn't an ordinary shinobi she was a Jinchūriki.

As long as she didn't suppress Matatabi's power, she would transform into the tailed beast.

Ordinary places couldn't contain her.

This would only lead to another tailed beast rampage in Konoha.

"Although I don't know where you got the courage to compare yourself to the Nine-Tails."

Haru couldn't help but sigh, "In your current state, you can't extract any chakra."

"There's always a chance." Yugito stared directly at Haru, pausing for a moment before continuing. "So, the current situation is that Konoha is going to war with our village?"

"That depends on the Fourth Raikage. We're more than willing to reestablish an alliance treaty, provided Kumogakure shows sufficient sincerity."

Haru responded directly to Yugito while also thinking of a new plan.

Yugito's nature wasn't bad. On the contrary, she was kind and gentle.

Especially given her identity as a perfect Jinchūriki.

If she were to interact with Naruto Uzumaki, it might have a positive influence.

If Naruto could freely use the Nine-Tails' chakra earlier, it would be a great benefit to the village.
