Chapter 116
Naruto's eyes gradually lit up, and he quickly realized the issues within the various details Hyuga Natsu had described.
"Heh, interesting."
Naruto stood up, preparing to use his special connections... inside the Hokage Building.
The Priestess was sitting in the lounge with her daughter, having just let out a sigh of relief.
Then, an old man walked in, leaning on a cane.
"Why does Her Highness the Priestess visit so early in the morning?"
Danzo gazed at the other party with an air of composure, but the implicit coercion was very obvious.
Danzo's sudden appearance caught the Priestess completely off guard.
But she quickly composed herself and said, "Lord Danzo, this morning, my precognitive ability activated..."
After a description, focusing on the key points.
The Priestess made Danzo understand that the Land of Demons' Daimyo was about to visit.
"Oh. If that's the case, then Her Highness the Priestess should be protected even more carefully..."
Under Danzo's instructions, the Priestess was soon escorted out of the lounge.
Feeling uneasy, she didn't know what Danzointended to do.
Finally, Danzo had his subordinates, along with Uchiha Shisui and others, place the Priestess in the Sarutobi Clan Compound... the Sandaime's ancestral home.
It was also where the Priestess had temporarily stayed before.
The Uchiha Military Police Force, Konoha's elite squad, and Root members... three types of teams provided comprehensive protection for this old residence.
Only then did the Priestess's anxious heart settle.
After all, with such robust protection, not even a mosquito could fly in.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone..."
The Priestess nodded to Uchiha Shisui and the others.
Then she stepped into the house.
As soon as she moved, Danzo's subordinates approached, guarding the entrance like door gods.
Although Uchiha Shisui was suspicious and didn't know what Danzo was up to, seeing him actively send people to protect the Priestess, he couldn't really find fault with Danzo.
Clack.
Two Root Ninja even thoughtfully closed the door for the Priestess.
However... the true situation inside was...
The moment the Priestess entered the room, her breathing hitched.
Because Uzumaki Naruto... was inside the room, in the place where she was supposed to be seated.
"What... is going on..."
The Priestess's mind didn't have time to process.
Naruto then spoke, "Aunt Priestess, since you've foreseen the future, you must know what's going to happen next, right..."
Yūgao Uzuki, who was nearby, very tactfully took Shion away.
"???"
Shion was led away while looking back, and Naruto even waved at her.
Once Shion was taken to an inner room.
Naruto grinned, and under the Priestess's terrified gaze, he pulled out a rope... Foreseeing the future?
Heh.
I, Uzumaki Naruto, know the plot!
Chapter 59. Watch closely, Daimyo, this is how a Priestess is used!
Hokage's Office.
The confrontation between the Daimyo and the Hokage was nearing its end.
"This..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the eloquent young man before him.
Just as in the Third Great Ninja War, Hiruzen Sarutobi had not demanded reparations from Iwagakure.
Being too indecisive, he could only agree to the Land of Demons' Daimyo's request.
—To allow him to meet and converse with his wife and daughter.
If the Priestess wanted to return home, Konoha had to release her.
The Land of Fire's Daimyo had also approved the young man's demands.
Basically, it would depend on the Priestess's own wishes from now on... "Very good, Hokage-sama is indeed a reasonable person."
The aggressive Land of Demons' Daimyo suddenly smiled, adopting a friendly demeanor.
But the arrogance in his tone hadn't changed at all.
"Well then, next, I shall go to my wife..."
As the Land of Demons' Daimyo stood up.
Hiruzen Sarutobi could only signal to his subordinates.
An Anbu Ninja then led the Daimyo to the Priestess's lodgings, which was Hiruzen Sarutobi's old residence... Uchiha Clan Compound.
Uchiha Hazuki stood in front of her daughter's bedroom door, her arms folded, her fingers tightly clenched with worry.
She stared at the sliding paper door before her.
Hearing the continuous painful whimpers from inside, she finally couldn't bear it and directly pulled open her daughter's door.
"Izumi~, what's wrong with you?!"
In fact, this had been the situation for the past few days.
Every night, her daughter had trouble sleeping.
Today's situation seemed even more severe.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Her daughter, breathing heavily, had already kicked off her blanket.
She had even torn open her clothes.
She looked feverish, yet oddly, she wasn't sweating.
Uchiha Hazuki walked over and touched her daughter, finding her forehead terrifyingly cold.
When she checked her hands and feet, they were equally icy.
This startled her.
"Mommy..."
Izumi, with teary eyes, gazed at her mother.
"I... I'm so hot..."
Izumi's lament broke Uchiha Hazuki's heart.
After her husband's death, she and her daughter had relied on each other, treating her daughter as her most precious treasure.
Now that her daughter was having problems one after another, how could a mother not be anxious?
"Izumi... let's go to the hospital..."
"No, I'm not going..."
Izumi shook her head.
"I'm not going!"
In that instant, her tone suddenly turned cold.
Her trembling body also stopped shaking.
Then, Uchiha Izumi suddenly sat up from the bedding, looking completely fine.
However, judging by her suddenly gloomy face and dark eyes, it was clear that she had a big problem.
"A walk will do me good..."
Izumi said, then got up, fastened her clothes, and walked out.
"Izumi... Izumi..." Uchiha Hazuki's calls failed to stop her daughter.
As her daughter's figure flashed, she disappeared in the courtyard... Soon after, Uchiha Izumi arrived at the Sarutobi Clan Compound.
She surveyed the scene and counted the number of guardians.
It wasn't difficult to find Uzumaki Naruto's whereabouts.
One only needed to stop a Hyuga Clan member and have them use their Byakugan to search Konoha to find out.
Anyway, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't run out of Konoha.
"Last night I killed the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, I wonder how Naruto is doing..."
Suddenly losing his Tailed Beast Partner, Naruto's life might be in danger.
Even if he didn't die, he would surely be greatly weakened.
Thus, Uchiha Izumi, with this thought, quickly snuck in.
Among all the guards, only Uchiha Shisui reached the Kage level.
The strongest of the remaining people were merely elite Jonin.
Izumi, having activated her Mangekyo and absorbed the "Nine-Tailed blood," had made rapid progress in strength.
Coupled with the 'ten times stronger when blackened' buff, she naturally easily exploited Uchiha Shisui's blind spots to infiltrate.
Hidden in the shadows, Izumi observed the Third Hokage's courtyard.
Before long, someone arrived.
A young man in luxurious clothes, wearing an Heian-period eboshi.
He had an arrogant demeanor, like some important dignitary.
Led by a Konoha Anbu, he arrived at this courtyard.
Waving his hand, the Daimyo dismissed everyone.
He wanted to properly catch up with his wife and daughter first, and he couldn't tolerate anyone else disturbing them.
After all... the power of Moryo was a secret...
