"Brat, what's your name?"
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. Also, if nothing unexpected happens, the Fifth Hokage will be Jiraiya."
Naruto looked at Tsunade, who had turned around, and showed a victor's smile.
"The Sandaime has abdicated, Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado have been ordered into retirement by the Nidaime, and Danzo Shimura has fled. The Village has changed drastically now."
When the Great Rasenshuriken was used, the Root base was also flattened by the Vacuum Attack: Earth Transformation.
In the end, Jiraiya declared Danzo Shimura a traitor.
Although the Sandaime was very reluctant, he couldn't find anyone.
Besides, someone had to take the blame for Konoha's defeat this time, right?
The Sandaime did not want to take the blame, Jiraiya was going to be Hokage again, and no one dared to mention Naruto, who truly destroyed Konoha.
Ah, the missing Danzo Shimura was very important at this time.
Orochimaru confessed everything, saying it was all in cooperation with Danzo; Danzo would become Hokage, and he would receive a large sum of research funds.
He even shifted the blame for Orochimaru's previous defection onto Danzo Shimura.
Why did Orochimaru conduct human experiments?
Because it was the order of the Village Elder Danzo Shimura, who not only transplanted Hashirama cells but also grafted an entire arm of Sharingan.
His right eye was Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan.
He even funded Orochimaru's research into the related techniques.
Hearing this, the Sandaime broke out in a cold sweat. Shisui's eyes—that was Kotoamatsukami, which could alter a person's will!
How could this be allowed!
What did Danzo Shimura want Kotoamatsukami for?
Who he needed to eliminate to ascend, did that even need guessing?
Danzo Shimura had indeed long planned to defect, and he had also murdered Uchiha Shisui.
His crimes were too numerous to list!
Although many people were bewildered, recalling who Danzo Shimura was, once his portrait and position were posted, it uniformly turned into curses.
He didn't look like a good person, and he did so many bad things.
They both have the surname Shimura. Look at the protagonist in 'the romantic ninjutsu tales of shimura,' and then look at you!
Hmph, beast!
You dare have the surname Shimura?
Under the Sandaime's final decision, Danzo Shimura's numerous crimes were all made public.
This included threatening fellow villagers to frame the White Fang of Konoha, fabricating false news that Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Fox, embezzling three million tons of grain, eight hundred tons of meat, and countless chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep during his tenure, with his assets still being tallied.
Later, Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado also came forward to testify that Danzo Shimura embezzled much more than that.
He embezzled countless medical supplies, the amount of embezzled assets was extremely huge, he burned many important documents, and embezzled the educational funds allocated by the Hokage Building to the Ninja Academy... Hearing this, the Sandaime, who was directly in charge of education, twitched his eyelid, not expecting that someone dared to reach their hands into the Academy under his administration.
Upon hearing Naruto recount the changes among the Village's high-ranking officials, Tsunade was angered to exhaustion.
It was unclear how the Medical Department managed by Utatane Koharu was embezzled by Danzo, and it was unclear how Danzo Shimura secretly embezzled the funds from the Finance Department managed by Homura Mitokado.
The two former Elders provided the evidence.
It could withstand the supervision of the residents of Konoha Village and the inspection of the Hokage Office.
Anyway, the inspectors were people under Homura Mitokado, right?
It's truly remarkable that Konoha wasn't ruined by these four old guys!
"Alright then, call me when you leave."
The last time she saw her grandfather and great-uncle was forty years ago, right?
Tsunade couldn't help but feel emotional.
After her grandfather died, the First Great Ninja War broke out quickly.
After the First Great Ninja War, her great-uncle died on the way back from peace talks with Kumogakure.
Shortly after the Second Great Ninja War ended, before her grandmother passed away from old age, she sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox inside Kushina, who had just come of age.
In that case, the Nine-Tailed Fox hadn't been inside Kushina for very long.
At most, it was less than seven years, and it even included the Third Great Ninja War during that period.
She and Shizune hadn't visited Konoha for over ten years either.
After the two left, she stared directly at Naruto.
"You studied medicine with the veterinarian, and then you treated me?"
————————
Konoha Village.
Kakashi leaned against the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen, seriously reading 'the romantic ninjutsu tales of shimura Volume Seven'.
"Yo, Kakashi, waiting for someone?"
Asuma and Kurenai saw him as soon as they turned the corner.
Hearing Asuma greet him, Kakashi looked up at the two walking side-by-side.
"Yeah, buying some things, and waiting for Sasuke."
The corner of his eye glanced at the black robes with red clouds underneath the curtain.
The two eating noodles inside paused.
Kurenai Yuhi teased, "I thought you were waiting for Karin!"
Kakashi put away his book.
"Karin has already gone to tell my father and Obito before our wedding."
Konoha Village's Monument to the Heroic Dead and cemetery were outside the Village. It's unknown if Naruto intentionally showed restraint, but the cemetery was not affected.
After all, destroying someone's grave is a terribly immoral act, especially since many of those buried there were Ninjas who died for Konoha.
"You still haven't sent out the invitations after all this time, is the wedding postponed?"
"Yeah, given the sudden changes, it had to be postponed."
Sasuke walked up to Kakashi with his hands in his pockets.
"Kakashi, it's rare for you to arrive first."
"It happens sometimes; I can't always make others wait for me."
Kakashi turned sideways and exchanged glances with Asuma and Kurenai, who noticed the abnormality inside Ichiraku Ramen.
Asuma and Kurenai both nodded simultaneously, then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.
Sasuke watched them leave, somewhat puzzled.
What was going on?
——————————
"What does Karin-chan want to eat?"
Kushina walked down the street holding Karin's hand.
"As long as it's made by Auntie Kushina, I'll like it."
"Oh my, Karin-chan, you have such a sweet mouth."
Kushina immediately hugged Karin and nuzzled her cheek.
"If only you were my daughter, Karin-chan, you're so cute!"
The two people walking towards them stopped in their tracks.
The hand wearing the ring with the character 'Zhu' rubbed its eyes.
Is that Auntie Kushina?
Uchiha Itachi looked again with some uncertainty.
Is this Auntie Kushina, or has the vision in my Sharingan deteriorated again?
I haven't used the Mangekyo Sharingan much recently... When Kushina passed away, Itachi was five years old, so he remembered this close friend of his mother.
He seemed to have joked with his mother back then that if the children from both sides were of opposite genders, they should arrange a childhood engagement.
Thinking that his little brother almost had a childhood engagement with Naruto, Uchiha Itachi wanted to laugh.
If Sasuke knew about this, his expression would surely be priceless.
Kushina, who was hugging and nuzzling Karin, suddenly sensed a familiar Chakra.
She released Karin and looked at the two figures heavily cloaked before her.
"Hello, have we met somewhere before?"
Kushina looked at the shorter figure.
"We haven't met."
Itachi slightly lowered his bamboo hat.
It really is Auntie Kushina?
Hearing this voice, Kushina pondered for a moment.
"It's Itachi! You've grown so big!"
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Itachi.
He ran into an acquaintance?
