My Sign-in System in Naruto

Naruto Uzumaki was not only the orphan of Namikaze Minato but also the village's crucial jinchūriki.

If something were to happen to him while in the hands of the Uchiha clan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the Telescope Technique could be used to locate Naruto, the current situation clearly didn't allow time to return to the Hokage's office.

"He's at the Naka Shrine," Uchiha Itachi answered truthfully but didn't support Hiruzen's idea of going there.

According to his father, the Uchiha clan members planning the coup were now gathered at the Naka Shrine, ready to slaughter the village's higher-ups.

Even if Fugaku didn't show up on time, if they saw the Hokage, it might prompt them to launch the coup early.

If things weren't handled properly, the Nine-Tails could go on a rampage.

"I see."

Hiruzen nodded, agreeing with Itachi's reasoning.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan members all possessed the Sharingan, so even a Transformation Technique would be seen through immediately.

"Let me go."

Itachi suddenly volunteered.

After all, he was a member of the Uchiha clan and one of its strongest ninjas.

With proper use of the Tsukuyomi, he might be able to infiltrate the shrine.

Most importantly, Naruto Uzumaki was an extremely unstable factor.

"I'll go with you."

Haru chimed in, joining the conversation.

It wasn't for any particular reason.

The Naka Shrine was his check-in location.

"If something goes wrong, my Wood Release can suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra," Haru added, providing a convenient excuse.

"Then I'll leave it to you two."

Hiruzen looked at the two young men before him, feeling that their involvement was indeed better than his own.

However, as the Hokage of the village, Hiruzen wasn't blindly optimistic.

The battle between Haru and Fugaku might have already drawn the attention of the Uchiha clan.

To ensure the Nine-Tails wouldn't harm the village, Hiruzen decided to split up and mobilize the Anbu and Root in advance to prevent any accidents.

"That works."

Haru nodded, agreeing with Hiruzen's plan. He exchanged a glance with Itachi, and the two of them headed toward the Naka Shrine together.

While transforming into Fugaku wasn't realistic, Haru could disguise himself as a member of the Uchiha clan.

Based on the rewards from previous check-ins, this time's reward was likely to be the Sharingan.

And the Sharingan was undoubtedly a symbol of the Uchiha identity.

As for how to explain this, Haru had already thought of a solution: he could simply claim that one of his parents was an Uchiha.

After all, it was just a bluff.

"What's your plan?"

As they approached the Naka Shrine, Itachi suddenly asked, "Are you going to kill them all?"

The Uchiha clan had always revered strength and were extremely proud.

Even if Haru and Itachi managed to deceive them temporarily, they couldn't keep up the act forever.

The worst-case scenario would be a fierce battle.

That's why Itachi brought up the question.

If all the unstable elements were eliminated, the village's peace would be secured.

However, this was completely at odds with Haru's original plan.

"We'll take it one step at a time."

Haru thought for a moment before responding.

Even without Itachi, Haru could handle the Uchiha clan members.

"But we can pretend to be Uchiha and trick them. Once we retrieve Naruto, the rest will be easier to deal with."

"Trick them…"

Itachi's face darkened, not expecting Haru to say something like that.

"Hmm?"

Although Itachi's voice was soft, Haru heard it clearly. He glanced at Itachi's profile and said firmly, "Don't worry, Itachi. We're best friends."

"No matter what, I'd never trick you."

"Really?" Itachi murmured. He wasn't concerned about whether Haru would trick him; he just wanted peace for the village.

"Of course. When have I ever tricked you?"

However, just as the two were about to reach the Naka Shrine, Itachi noticed Uchiha clan members patrolling the area.

Even without using the Sharingan, Itachi could sense the pressure they were under.

If the coup failed, even they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

Most importantly, Fugaku still hadn't arrived at the shrine, which made these people even more anxious.

"I need your cooperation."

Itachi spoke slowly, deciding to deal with these people first before going deeper.

But before he could explain his plan, Haru walked straight over.

"Hey!"

Itachi: "???"

Haru's casual greeting immediately put the Uchiha clan members on edge.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Haru paused, then added, "Itachi, come on over."

"Itachi?" The Uchiha member was stunned. He didn't remember anyone named Haru in the Uchiha clan, but he was very familiar with Itachi.

The clan's genius, the eldest son of Fugaku.

Yet he had joined the Anbu.

Haru gave Itachi a look. They didn't need to deal with these people; as long as they showed they supported the coup, they could walk right in.

"Fine."

Itachi sighed and walked over, revealing his identity.

"My father sent me. Since we're launching the coup to replace the Hokage, my power is an indispensable part of it."

As he spoke, Itachi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

As fellow Uchiha, they naturally understood what this power meant.

Moreover, because of Itachi, no one paid attention to Haru.

Even the patrolling guard actively led the two of them inside.

Before long, Haru and Itachi arrived at the Naka Shrine.

The situation was exactly as Fugaku had described.

The able-bodied men of the Uchiha clan were gathered here, many of them looking tense and ready for battle.

"Where's the clan leader?"

After hearing Itachi's explanation, the Uchiha members immediately asked about Fugaku's whereabouts.

"You all felt that immense chakra, right?"

Itachi thought for a moment and began his bluff. "There's been a problem. My father is fighting Danzo and lured him out of the village."

"Danzo? That chakra was Danzo's?"

Upon hearing Itachi's words, many of them gasped. When they had sensed that chakra, they had been shocked and curious about its source.

"To think it was Danzo…" As they marveled, a strong clan member with the three-tomoe Sharingan couldn't help but question, "But Itachi, are you really on our side?"

Meanwhile, Haru paid no attention to how Itachi handled the situation, focusing entirely on his check-in.
