Chapter 8: Infiltrating the Dream of the Old Scoundrel DanzoAbove Konoha, strands of Chakra spread through every corner like veins.The unique mark of the Wind-style Chakra from when Danzo had previously severed Naruto's arm was already deeply imprinted in his perception.At this moment, Naruto's consciousness drifted out of his body, and his perception range suddenly expanded; locating Danzo's dream was as easy as lifting a finger.Unfortunately, the consciousness separation effect brought by the Level 4 Sexy Jutsu could only touch dreams and could not survey real-world scenes; he could only capture the approximate location through Chakra sensing.After locking onto Danzo's Chakra fluctuations, Naruto's consciousness flickered and instantly vanished without a trace.When he reappeared, the scene before him made him pause slightly...Isn't this Konoha Village?Danzo's dream was actually the Village he was so familiar with?Naruto muttered to himself, looking around, and soon noticed something was wrong:On the Hokage Rock, the stone statue that originally belonged to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had actually been replaced by Danzo's face...Naruto's mouth twitched as he squeezed out a complaint:"This old scoundrel, his obsession with the position of Hokage really goes down to his bones..."Before he could finish his sentence, a commotion suddenly came from the direction of the Hokage Office.In a dream, there was no need to worry about physical constraints. With a thought, Naruto's figure soared into the air like an arrow from a bow, instantly reaching the scene.In the center of the open space, Danzo was sitting on the main Hokage seat.Dressed in the iconic Hokage cloak, his already sinister face actually gained a few hints of majesty.His hands were pressed on the scrolls on the desk, his brow furrowed, as he issued commands in a cold, emotionless voice:"Pass down the order: any clan that does not submit to the 'New Order' will be treated as traitors to the Village! The Uchiha Remnants, the Hyuga Branch House... anyone who obstructs Konoha's 'unification' shall not be spared!"In the open space in front of the desk, a massive crowd had gathered, with whispers and shouts of agreement rising and falling.Naruto looked closer, his pupils suddenly shrinking, and he couldn't help but curse: "Holy crap?"In the middle of the crowd, two figures tied tightly to pillars with ropes were particularly eye-catching—one was Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the other was actually himself, Uzumaki Naruto!"Today, I will publicly execute these two Konohatraitors as a warning to others!" Danzo slammed the table and stood up, his voice resounding.The surrounding villagers immediately erupted into a chorus of cheers; their fanatical appearance made it seem as if Naruto and the Third Hokage were truly heinous criminals.Naruto was so angry he almost laughed:"Are you kidding me, old man? You just cut off one of my arms this morning, and now you're in such a hurry to pull me up by the Roots in your dream tonight? Is your desire for revenge really that strong?"He knew perfectly well that this was Danzo's dream, and everything around him was controlled by his subconscious; the villagers' reactions were merely projections of his inner desires.But the next second, a cunning smile flashed in Naruto's eyes, and he chuckled to himself.Too bad, you're not the only one who gets a say in this dream anymore.In the dream, Danzo's subconscious naturally couldn't withstand Naruto's subjective conscious control.Just as Danzo raised his hand to signal the guards to draw their swords, an untimely shout suddenly rang out from the crowd:"Wait! Lord Danzo looks just like the donkey at my second uncle's house!"The voice was clear and loud, instantly drowning out all the cheers.Danzo's brow furrowed, his lone eye scanning the crowd: "Who is making that noise?"Before he could finish, the villagers who were previously fanatically supporting him suddenly changed their tune.An auntie pushed to the front row, pointed at Danzo's face, and curled her lip:"I say, Lord Danzo, that Hokage cloak looks decent on you, but your face is just too sour—it stinks worse than the latrine at the Village entrance!""Exactly, exactly!" an uncle nearby joined in."Lord Third was so kind, but you? You're scowling all day long like everyone owes you eight million Ryo. This Hokage has no charisma at all!"Danzo's face instantly turned black as coal, and he slammed the desk in fury:"Presumptuous! What nonsense are you all spouting? Seize these rebels!"The surrounding villagers were in an uproar, but the guards who were supposed to protect Danzoremained motionless.Just as Danzo was about to berate them into action, one of them suddenly turned his head slowly..."Old scoundrel, I think what they're saying makes a lot of sense."The voice carried a hint of youthful arrogance. Danzo looked closely and was instantly startled:On that guard's neck sat the head of Uzumaki Naruto! His golden hair stood on end, and his blue eyes were full of playful mockery."You, you yellow-haired brat?!"Danzo was both shocked and enraged, his lone eye bulging.He clearly remembered that his guards were all death soldiers from Root; how could they have turned into this kid?Before he could recover his senses, the surrounding commotion suddenly stopped.Danzo stiffly scanned the crowd and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.The villagers, who were just a diverse crowd, had all somehow swapped their heads for identical Naruto heads!Hundreds of faces with golden hair and blue eyes stared at him in unison; some were grinning wickedly, others were raising their eyebrows in mockery—it was a dense, indescribably eerie and terrifying sight."Im... Impossible!" Danzo was completely dumbfounded, his rationality shattered by this absurd scene.He slammed his hand onto the desk, and a blade of Wind-style Chakra suddenly surged several feet long, gleaming with a cold light:"A pack of suicidal ants! You dare to rebel before me?!"Above in the sky, Naruto, who had been hiding in the shadows controlling everything, finally stopped playing around, a flash of interest in his eyes.Perfect, he would use this dream to test the power of his new moves and see if there was any difference between Chakra circulation in a dream versus reality.With a thought from Naruto, the three newly mastered skills were activated in tandem.But the next second, his pupils shrank, and he was completely stunned...Below, all the villagers with Naruto heads raised their right hands simultaneously, and lightning surged around them.Giant Lightning Birds, wreathed in roaring thunder, burst forth and screeched toward the sky.In an instant, the previously clear sky was swallowed by boundless dark clouds. Rolling black thunder surged and roared within the clouds, and dense points of light lit up one after another in the darkness, the power of the Chakra within them still climbing frantically!"Holy crap? Is this right?"Before the words could leave his mouth, hundreds of lightning birds, carrying Red Lightning like divine punishment, rained down toward Danzofrom all directions.Although the wind blades he had previously unleashed were sharp, they were like a drop in the bucket against such world-destroying power and instantly dissipated.In the next instant, hundreds of thunderclaps descended from the sky. After a thunderous roar, gunpowder smoke filled the entire dream.When the dust settled, the once-prosperous Konoha Village had been leveled to the ground, leaving only broken walls and ruins.Danzo stood frozen in the center of the ruins. The rules of the dream kept him from being killed or injured, but the scene before him caused his pupils to shake as he stood there dazed."No—!"A heart-wrenching roar echoed through the ruins. The dream space vibrated violently, Chakraturbulence surged wildly, and Danzo's figure twisted and deformed within it. "My Konoha! My position as Hokage!"Naruto smiled, raised an eyebrow, and slowly descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of Danzo.Seeing this, Danzo's body instinctively flew back several steps, his lone eye full of horror and wariness."Don't be in such a hurry to run." Naruto chuckled, a playful look appearing at the corner of his mouth.He activated another ability of the Sexy Jutsu—Appearance Alteration.A flash of light went by, and Danzo's burly body suddenly shriveled, turning into a little girl wearing black stockings, yet still possessing that same sinister face. The contrast was both absurd and hilarious.Naruto's shoulders shook as he held back laughter, teasing:"Look at that. In Konoha, you're only fit to be a little girl with no real power~"This final blow completely crushed Danzo's psychological defenses.He looked at his small hands and felt the fragmented, flickering dreamscape around him; his spirit completely collapsed.[resentment points from Danzo +10,000...
