Chapter 99
Completely unaware that he was about to encounter Konoha's darkest man.
"Kamisama, I have sinned…" Yakushi Nonou prayed to the gods in her heart, asking for forgiveness for her sins.
Because of her increased piety, her sacred aura became more and more prominent.
Looking at the nun, with the holy, angelic, maternal face above, and the z! body below, inviting sin.
Naruto was more than willing to be deceived by her.
After all, the more she deceived him, the greater the price he would make her pay later, wasn't it?
This was called advance consumption, advance overdraft!
"That place… might be a bit dark…"
Yakushi Nonou glanced aside, pondering her words, and finally spoke them.
She was sitting on a chair, the hem of her nun's habit draped down.
The robes could not hide her sinfully alluring figure.
Devil… this was the devil's sin!
Naruto laughed in his heart.
"Hmm, a little dark is fine, I don't have night blindness…"
Having learned knowledge from Yakushi Nonou, Naruto understood a lot of medical common sense, so speaking it out naturally felt seamless.
"Headmistress, take me there."
Naruto jumped off the chair, looking eager.
"I trust the Headmistress the most~!"
Looking at Naruto's smiling face and hearing his trusting words, Yakushi Nonou's heart ached even more.
"Hmm."
Yakushi Nonou nodded, and with the strong qualities of a 007 female Bond, she managed to maintain a flawless exterior.
Then, she stood up and led Naruto away from the Orphanage… into a dark passageway.
Yakushi Nonou was in front, Naruto behind.
The two gradually descended, moving further and further away from the surface.
"Are you really going to follow this woman to Danzo's lair?"
Nine-Tailed reminded Naruto in a serious tone.
After all, his opponent was not some naive, sweet person, but one of the worst humans in the Ninja World!
The reason he said 'one of' was because there was another guy just as bad as him right now.
"It's fine, don't worry, Nine-Tailed, old man Danzois a good person~!"
Naruto stated.
What evil intentions could Danzo Shimura, who was wholeheartedly dedicated to Konoha, possibly have?
Danzo, who wanted to be the Hokage, was the coolest~!
"Hmph! I hope you don't fall into his hands…"
Nine-Tailed didn't have much of a choice in this matter.
After all, the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style had only released 3 tails so far.
And judging by Uzumaki Naruto's dark heart, for him to infect his consciousness and break free, he would probably need to release 7… oh no, 8 tails to make this kid go berserk.
Nine-Tailed comforted himself.
It really felt bad to entrust his life to others.

"If I can't beat old man Danzo, can't I at least outrun him?"
Naruto continued to talk with Nine-Tailed as they walked.
Life finds a way, and I, Uzumaki Naruto, am not stupid.
"And… I'm very interested in the farts old man Danzo wants to let out."
In fact, he should have been the one to seek him out proactively.
The Uchiha Clan had changed its strategy, from violent revolution to a more conciliatory approach.
How would Danzo still rely on Uchiha Itachi to annihilate the Uchiha?
This was crucial for adapting his upcoming plans.
Sako, he had to save her.
Uchiha Izumi too.
And Sako's mom, Aunt Mikoto, even more so!
No one could stop me, Uzumaki Naruto, absolutely no one.
After a long journey, Naruto finally arrived at the location Yakushi Nonou had indicated.
Konoha's deepest artificial structure… Danzo's true lair.
The core of Root.
Chapter 41: Danzo: Naruto possesses the potential for "Shinobi's Darkness"
The vast underground space was surprisingly bright.
Naruto surveyed the circular, empty structure; besides the supporting stone pillars, there were only talismans pasted on them for reinforcement.
"Headmistress~, what is this place?"
At this moment, Naruto didn't forget to ask, pretending he didn't know where he was.
Yakushi Nonou, who had led Naruto there, opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
After all, how could she explain it?
Should she say that she deliberately led Narutointo the abyss?
For this, Yakushi Nonou could only silently pray in her heart, asking for the gods' forgiveness.
And the pain in her heart intensified even further.
Soon, Danzo's figure appeared.
Thud.
Thud.
He walked slowly, leaning on his cane, and finally stopped in front of Naruto.
And Yakushi Nonou had quietly disappeared at some point… "It's you… old man…"
"Stop pretending, Uzumaki Naruto… or rather, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox…"
As soon as Naruto spoke, Danzo interrupted him.
Danzo, who saw through Naruto's essence at a glance, disdained such a disguised demeanor.
Just like in the original story, he disdained Sai's smile.
And Orochimaru, who was in cahoots with Danzo, also had a natural aversion to Sai's fake smile.
To some extent, this could also be considered a form of "sincerity."
"Hmph… old geezer."
Naruto snorted, his expression gradually changing.
From a feigned innocent look, it transformed into a malicious, mocking face.
And this was Naruto's true nature.
That natural malice was almost overflowing.
His mocking expression was cynical, seemingly taking nothing seriously.
Facing Naruto's true self, Danzo narrowed his eyes.
He was observing.
Observing who the Nine-Tailed Demon Foxresembled.
First, he ruled out Minato Namikaze, then Uzumaki Kushina.
So, there were only two explanations for why he looked this way.
The first possibility: Uzumaki Naruto was influenced by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's hatred, thus becoming like this, and it was all Nine-Tailed's fault.
The second possibility: being hated and disliked by the villagers for a long time… environment influences people, and people cannot exist apart from matter. Uzumaki Naruto, being treated in a long-term negative environment, eventually developed this ruffian-like personality.
If it was the second reason.
Then, what was interesting was… the person who spread the rumor that Uzumaki Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was himself.
In other words, it was because of him that such an Uzumaki Naruto was shaped.
The question arose.
If Minato Namikaze and Kushina knew, from beyond the grave, that their child had turned out like this, what would they think?
A great sense of pleasure surged into Danzo's heart.
"It's very rude to curse at people," Danzo said in a pleasant tone.
"I haven't even settled the score with you for spreading rumors about me yet…"
Naruto called him out by name, indicating that he already knew Danzo was behind it.
This made Danzo raise an eyebrow slightly.
Something even Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know, this yellow-haired brat could guess?
Who told him?
Was it Kakashi Hatake?
Or was it Shiranui Genma, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tatami, the three former members of the Flying Thunder God Genma squad, the Fourth Hokage's bodyguards?
Only these four had sufficient reason to guess and inform Naruto of the possibility.
"Are you planning to eliminate this old man? Just like you killed the Kumogakure Ninja leader, Biwa Jūzō, and Yomi…"
"Hmph, that depends on how much you seek death… And even if I don't do it, someone else will deal with you."
Naruto stated.
You seeking death doesn't require me to act; someone will take care of you.
Naruto was referring to Sako.
However, Danzo understood it as something else… the Uchiha.
For example, a certain Uchiha genius who recently publicly announced that he possessed the Mangekyo and explained what the Mangekyo was.
"That is indeed worth noting…"
Danzo nodded, highly approving of Naruto's reminder.
Uchiha Shisui… the threat from this young man was too great.
