Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama?

The weather was clear, and the sun was shining brightly.

Jiraiya, who had killed Danzo several times, walked out of the lab feeling refreshed.

"I really didn't expect that killing Danzo would have this kind of effect."

To be honest, ever since he became the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya had been under a lot of pressure.

On one hand, due to his personality, he never wanted to be Hokage. He was pushed into it by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

Not become Hokage?

Want to continue traveling outside the village? 

Sure, but to do that, you'd have to be a rogue ninja, which would satisfy all those conditions.

He had no choice. Not wanting to be seen as a rogue ninja, Jiraiya reluctantly became the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

On the other hand, with the existence of the light screen and Tobirama's supervision, Jiraiya couldn't just slack off in this position.

Especially after learning so much about the ninja world through the light screen, he couldn't afford to relax.

He didn't want to be the last Hokage of Konoha.

With all this, Jiraiya had been under a lot of pressure.

This time, the plan to kill Danzo was originally just for revenge for Yahiko and the Konoha ninjas killed by Danzo.

Unexpectedly, after killing Danzo in various ways several times, his mood instantly improved, and he felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

It felt like his spirit had suddenly ascended, and his body had regained strength.

"After the Danzo-killing mission, my back doesn't hurt, my legs don't ache, and I have energy when I walk. I can even run up five flights of stairs without breaking a sweat."

The Third Hokage highly praised the mission to kill Danzo.

He even told Jiraiya and Orochimaru that they should do more of these activities when they had free time.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru and Jiraiya exchanged glances. They both felt that their teacher might have lost his humanity.

After all, Danzo was an friend of the Third Hokage for decades. They never expected their teacher to be so ruthless in his actions.

However, since it wasn't much trouble, Orochimaru and Jiraiya both agreed without hesitation.

Danzo: "Please, at least try to be human."

o(╥﹏╥)o 

Among those participating in activities of killing Danzo, the most unique was Naruto Uzumaki.

Logically, everyone present had some grudge against Danzo to varying degrees.

Naruto also had a grudge against him, but due to his personality, he couldn't bear to see Danzo being tortured like this.

In fact, when Kushina was performing slow and painful torture on Danzo, Naruto even pleaded for him.

However, Kushina didn't waver at all and insisted on torturing Danzo slowly, one cut at a time.

By the end, the sight almost made Naruto vomit.

Actually, the two of them had already noticed that there was something off about Naruto's personality.

Even Minato, who was usually bright and cheerful, would never hesitate to kill when necessary on the battlefield.

But Naruto was different.

Even when facing life-and-death situations with enemies, he would subconsciously hold back. If he could avoid killing, he would.

To put it nicely, it's kindness and mercy.

To put it less nicely, it's womanly compassion.

The reason why the Hokage couple was so eager to participate in this event was because they wanted to take the opportunity to teach Naruto a lesson.

To make him understand what being a ninja truly means.

It's a job where you have to kill people!

But from Naruto's expression, it was clear that the Uzumaki couple had a long way to go in their education.

"Minato, you know the current situation in Konoha. After lunch, you and Naruto should head to the Land of Wind."

"No problem, Jiraiya-sensei. I'll go back and prepare with Naruto now."

"Mm, the meeting place with Chiyo is in the Land of Rivers, between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. I'll be waiting for you both in the capital of the Land of Rivers."

"Pervry Sage, what if Granny Chiyo doesn't come?"

Hearing Naruto's question, both Jiraiya and Minato smiled.

"For the information on Sasori, I don't believe that Chiyo won't come."

As Jiraiya had expected, when Minato and Naruto arrived at Sunagakure and subtly revealed some information about Sasori, Chiyo agreed to go to the capital of the Land of Rivers for the talks.

"Kankuro, Temari, Gaara is your younger brother. While I'm gone, you must take good care of him."

"Ebizo, I'll leave Gaara in your hands during this time."

After giving some instructions to Kankuro, Temari, and her younger brother Ebizo, Chiyo packed up and left Sunagakure with Minato and Naruto.

Before leaving, Naruto even secretly took some of Gaara's hair and a few skin flakes from his body.

He also reminded Gaara to be cautious of Deidara's bombs.

Although Gaara didn't fully understand why Naruto said that, he could still feel Naruto's concern for him.

"Alright, I'm leaving now, Gaara. Come visit Konoha sometime!"

"Yeah, if I have time, I'll come to Konoha to visit you."

Near the entrance of Sunagakure, beside a sand dune.

Black Zetsu appeared from the shadows, watching Chiyo follow Minato and Naruto as they left. He couldn't help but smile.

"It's like finding a pillow when you want to take a nap."

"I was worried about how to get rid of Chiyo old lady, but now she's running off with Konoha's people."

"Even the heavens are helping me. It's meant to be."

Black Zetsu wanted to silently get rid of Gaara, and Chiyo was the one thing it had to avoid.

Now that Chiyo left, it could finally start its plan.

Actually, Black Zetsu's plan was simple.

The ninjas of Sunagakure were currently in the worst state ever.

To ensure the success of their mission, Kankuro and Temari would also have to go on missions.

However, their tasks were usually short-range ones that didn't leave the country. They could finish in about three days at most.

Knowing this, Black Zetsu's plan became clear.

It wanted to take advantage of the time when the two siblings were on their mission to create a time gap.

By kidnapping them and threatening Gaara, it could trick him into leaving the village to rescue them.

If this was before the Chunin Exams, Black Zetsu wouldn't dare do this.

Because Gaara back then truly didn't care about anyone.

But now, after Naruto's influence, Gaara had already regained the emotions that a normal person should have.

So, Black Zetsu thought that by using Kankuro and Temari's lives to threaten Gaara, he would definitely come.

"Hehe, Nagato, this is what you forced me to do."

"Get ready to receive the gift of the One-Tail Jinchuriki."

"Gaara, sorry, I originally wanted to have dinner with you, but unexpectedly, a merchant came to me and insisted that I escort him to the Land of Windy capital. Looks like I won't be able to have dinner with you."

"It's okay. The earlier you leave, the sooner you'll be back."

"Don't worry, Temari and I will hurry back as fast as we can."

Chiyo left in the morning, and Kankuro and Temari got the mission in the afternoon to protect a merchant traveling to the Land of Windy capital.

No one noticed anything unusual.

After all, it's normal for ninjas to go on missions.

But later that night, when Gaara returned home and saw the note on his desk, he realized something was wrong.
