Chapter 50

"The head of the Uzumaki clan? Damn it. When did Tsunade do such a thing?" Danzo thought.

The other clan heads in the room were also quite surprised. Because it had been a long time since the Uzumaki Clan had not attended the meeting.

"Now that everyone has arrived, we can begin the meeting." Tsunade said.

She then continued to speak, "At the urging of the civil council, the topic to be discussed tonight is whether the Kyuubi's Jinchiruki will take a mission. A powerful group called Akatsuki is targeting bijuu. That's why the civil council wants to ban Jinchuuriki from leaving the village. Want to talk about the subject and say something?"

All eyes were on Naruto, who was expected to do something. Naruto just smiled.

"If Jinchuuriki goes out on a mission and gets caught by Akatsuki, it will weaken Konoha. That's why I suggest keeping him under-protected house arrest." Homura said. Koharu and Danzo, other members of the civic council, also joined him, nodding their heads in agreement.

"Umm... Kazekage, Ichibi's jinchuuriki, was caught in his own village. Frankly, I think Akatsuki will still attack even if we keep Uzumaki-sama in the village." Shikaku, Head of the Nara clan, said.

"They have the possibility of attacking us, but at least we can counter them with full power." Danzo said.

"Oh? So if they attack you will retaliate? Are you and your root anbu willing to sacrifice themselves for me?" Naruto asked with a grin.

"How can you talk to me like that?" Danzo said while squinting.

"Anyway, frankly, I'm not at all willing to be held captive in Konoha." Naruto said.

"Hmph! Do you think you have a say in this matter!" Homura said angrily.

"You think you can keep me in the village? While you had failed to keep a treacherous Uchiha in the village. Oh! Right, let's talk about that too!" Naruto grinned while saying his last sentence.

"You!" Homura said while gritting his teeth angrily.

"You released the captured traitor Uchiha from prison. Then, somehow, that person managed to escape. What happened, or weren't you authorized enough anbu to spy on him?" Naruto said, looking at the civil council.

He then continued mockingly, "However, Danzo-san put a lot of root anbu after me because he thought of me a lot. Danzo-san, where did you get such authority?"

"Danzo? How could you do something like that without my knowledge?" Tsunade squinted her eyes.

Danzo closed his eyes and thought for a while, then he said innocently, "I wanted to do something to protect Jinchuriki. Was it wrong?"

"Danzo-san, I didn't know you thought of me so much. Then I apologize to you for what I did earlier." Naruto said with a sincere expression on his face.

"Why? What did you do?" Danzo asked.

"One of his Anbu got too close to me, so I had to kill him. Oh! But don't worry, I left your body as intact as possible!" Naruto said sarcastically.

He then waved his hand, and a ninja with his head cut off appeared on the table.

Naruto disappeared from his seat in a flash of red, and when he reappeared, he was behind Danzo.

Naruto bent down and put his hand on Danzo's shoulder and said with a grin, "Danzo-san, please don't order your root anbu to follow me again, okay? Look how scared he was when he died, we wouldn't want something like that to happen to anyone else, right?"

Then he disappeared again in a red flash, reappearing in his seat.

Everyone at the table was taken aback. Danzo, on the other hand, was getting angrier inside.

"How can you use this technique! Hokage-sama, you should arrest him and have him explain how to use the technique. This is disrespectful to Nidaime and Yondaime!" Homura said angrily.

"Are you serious when you say that? I hope you're kidding." Naruto said with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Then he continued to speak, "You do know that I am Yondaime's son, right? Come on, that should have been obvious. And you call yourself the civic council."

"How did you know?" Homura said in surprise.

"Oh! Now I remember, Yondaime's assets must be mine too, right? Hokage-sama, please help me with that too. Also, I checked, some of the assets of the Uzumaki clan are missing, please help me with that as well. I suspect someone has unofficially transferred my property to their own account. And who they are… You already have an idea, right?" Naruto said.

Tsunade nodded and said while looking at the civic council, "We're already investigating those issues. We will reach the result as soon as possible. Oddly enough, while I was away from the village, the Senju clan's assets also decreased."

Homura just swallowed dry. It was clear on his face that he was worried.

"I think I'm strong enough as a jounin if I have to say about staying in the village, you can tell from the person on the table. If you still don't believe me, you can send up a few more people." Naruto said his last words while spreading intense pressure across the room.

Team Kakashi had been called to meeting Hokage to meet his new teammate.

There was a pale white-skinned person with black hair inside when they entered.

"Let me introduce you to your new teammate. His name is Sai. Anyway, you talk to him in more detail later. Since you need to leave quickly in the afternoon, I recommend that you complete your preparations immediately." Tsunade said.

"Damn it. Having barely survived the previous one, now another has arrived. What should I do? What if I killed him secretly? He didn't come back when he went to go to for toilet at night. I think it's a pretty good story. All right, let me think about that." Naruto thought.

"There's also one more thing I need to point out. Sakura will join you on this mission to support you." Tsunade said.

"WHaT The HeLL?"
