Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

---

Itachi's hands stretched out weakly, but he didn't hold back because he knew he couldn't change Shisui's will, nor was he able to help Shisui change the status quo.

The Sharingan in Itachi's eyes spun wildly, slowly connecting together…

Not far away, Naruto looked at the scene before him. "No matter how many times I watch it, it's still exciting—the birth of the Itachi Mangekyu. But I can't keep watching the show. There are important things to do." With that, Naruto flashed and disappeared into the woods.

By the creek near the cliff where he had last spoken with Itachi, Uchiha Shisui slowly opened his eyes. "Who's there?"

"Hey, don't be so nervous." Naruto sat casually on a rock beside Shisui. "If your eyes fall out again, I might not be able to put them back, you know. Uchiha eyes are so convenient, though—like USBs, just plug and play."

"You saved me?" Shisui touched his right eye and asked, "Who are you? And why do you have my right eye?"

"Well, I'm just a poor soul yearning for peace, persecuted by Danzo. And if I can add to Danzo's troubles, all the better," Naruto said solemnly.

"Why did you save me? In this situation, it's meaningless," Shisui murmured as he lay on the ground, gazing at the moon above.

"The Uchiha clan meeting should have already started. Konoha is on the brink of civil war."

"No, you underestimate yourself," Naruto countered.

"You're the second strongest Uchiha. If you don't appear, they'll be completely lost. There won't be a fight tonight." He paused before continuing.

"And are you sure about entrusting everything to Itachi? You might drive him insane. The Sharingan is an ominous eye—the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. You don't want the Uchiha clan to disappear from this world, do you?"

Shisui sighed. "Then what can I do? As things stand, I'm already a traitor. Even if I wanted to act, it's impossible. The Third Hokage won't give me another chance. He'll never trust me again."

"You know the Third Hokage well," Naruto remarked. "I thought you were brainwashed by him like some of the other hot-blooded idiots." Then he frowned.

"Wait... wasn't I the one brainwashed? Damn it." He coughed awkwardly before continuing

"Listen, things have already escalated. Hiruzen and Danzo won't let the Uchiha clan go. The last bit of goodwill is gone. The only way forward is to abandon the clan's radicals. Find your like-minded comrades and secretly move out those willing to make peace with the village. The rest? Well, let them fend for themselves."

"And let me be clear," Naruto added, his voice serious, "I didn't save you just for Konoha's peace."

Shisui looked at him, intrigued.

"My goal is the peace of the entire shinobi world!" Naruto declared.

"There's an organization called Akatsuki in Amegakure. They're quietly amassing power, working as mercenaries in various conflicts, trying to stir up war across the nations. Their members are all S-rank missing-nin. I need you to go undercover and spy on them. Pass information along so we can prevent the Fourth Great Ninja War. You lived through the Third Great Ninja War—you understand how horrifying it was."

Shisui was silent for a long time before nodding. "Alright. After dealing with the Uchiha situation, I'll go to Amegakure and investigate. If they're truly as dangerous as you say, I'll do my best to spy on them."

He then fixed Naruto with a sharp gaze. "But I have a condition—you need to tell me who you are. It's hard to trust someone who hides their identity."

"Huh? How'd you figure that out? My Transformation Jutsu is flawless!" Naruto grinned. "Shouldn't be possible."

Shisui stared at the figure in front of him—Naruto, still disguised as Luffy from One Piece.

Speechless, he muttered, "Why do you look so insane? Your entire presence doesn't match the tone of this conversation..."

With a poof, Naruto undid his Transformation Jutsu. His golden hair flowed freely, giving him an eerily composed aura, resembling Aizen before his descent into darkness.

Shisui's pupils shrank in shock. "You're... the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki!"

"Well, don't say it like that. I'm a peace-loving person," Naruto replied with a straight face.

"My dream is to become Hokage man, to bring happiness to people, to be acknowledged."

Shisui was stunned. For the first time in a long while, hope flickered in his eyes. "Then... my path is not a lonely one."

Naruto looked at the clearly moved Shisui and sighed inwardly. Damn, the art of Talk no Jutsu really is overpowered.

[Main Quest Completed – Tool Man]

Objective: Rescue Uchiha Shisui and turn him into a tool for the Host.

Reward: Kekkei Genkai – Sharingan!

That's right! The ultimate must-have ability for any transmigrated person in Naruto—the Sharingan

If not for this system quest suddenly appearing, Naruto wouldn't have risked getting involved in something so dangerous. After all, his real strength was barely at a Jōnin level physically, and his chakra reserves were only Chūnin level.

Meanwhile, Danzo was a mid-boss, above elite jonin maybe like quasi kage very close to Kage level.

But thanks to his knowledge of the plot, Danzo's ignorance of him, and the overpowered presence of Shisui, he managed to complete the mission without any risk..

Now, Naruto had acquired two of the biggest bug abilities in Naruto. With his hands together, he could pull off anything, and with his eyes open, he could practically pilot a Susanoo. Although it was just the basic Sharingan for now, it was a start.

Naruto turned to the thoroughly convinced Shisui. "Go back to the Uchiha district in secret. Gather those willing to leave Konoha and hide their identities. As the second strongest Uchiha, I'm sure you can pull it off. Then, make your way to Amegakure and infiltrate Akatsuki. When I become Hokage, I'll bring the Uchiha clan back to Konoha."

Shisui hesitated before asking, "You keep saying I'm the second strongest Uchiha... so who's number one? Don't tell me it's Itachi. I fought him two days ago, and he lost."

"Why are you worrying about that?" Naruto quickly changed the subject. Should I tell you that Obito is secretly pulling the strings? Hell no. "Just focus on your mission. Your supposed 'death' won't fool them forever. Hiruzen and Danzo will start wiping out the Uchiha clan within the year."

Shisui nodded. "Alright. But be careful. As the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki, if Hiruzen and Danzo realize they can't control you, they'll erase your identity and turn you into their puppet." With that, he disappeared in a blur of movement.

Naruto let out a breath of relief. Finally managed to rope in a solid tool man. In the future, he could offload plenty of work onto Shisui while focusing on his own goal—living a lazy, peaceful life.

Returning home stealthily, he released his Shadow Clone, who had been sleeping in his place, and collapsed into bed.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Konoha, many people found themselves unable to sleep that night.
