Chapter 40 - Crow Eyes

"I am going to kill the elders. With my strength, I can easily handle them and the Anbu, but I am going to frame Danzo for the murder."

Hearing his words, Fugaku looked at Naruto with shock.

Only then did he notice the orange eyelashes around his eyes and feel his Chakra.

It was calm, too calm in fact.

He had only felt this kind of Chakra from one person.

Jiraiya.

"Sage Mode! You have mastered the Sage Mode."

Looking at almost no changes on his body, Fugaku couldn't help but feel amazed and speechless at the same time.

Naruto nodded his head and said.

"With my strength, taking them down isn't much of a problem. The problem is, I have to take the role of Danzo while doing it."

"So, I need you two to take care of those Anbu members."

At this moment, Mikoto walked in front of him and lowered herself to his level as she looked into Naruto's eyes and said.

"Naruto, are you doing this for revenge?"

Naruto took a deep breath and shook his head.

"If I wanted revenge, I wouldn't have plotted Danzo. I would've killed him."

Hearing that, Mikoto smiled and said.

"Then, I will help you."

She didn't want her best friend's son to drown in the pond of hatred.

"You know too much for someone of your age. How old are you?" Fugaku asked.

"Twelve!" Naruto replied and pointed at the seal.

"My parents left a lot of legacy for me."

Hearing that, a look of realization appeared on Fugaku and Mikoto's faces.

No wonder Naruto was able to master Impure Reincarnation Jutsu. He had received the information from Minato.

But then came a question. Why would Minato leave such a dark, forbidden Jutsu for his son?

Naruto spoke.

"Of course, I didn't call you out for just that. I can still achieve those results with shadow clones."

"I wanted you to be here for Sasuke."

Hearing his reasons, they looked at him with surprise.

Mikoto shook her head and said.

"Naruto, it doesn't matter if you use us for your purpose. There is no reason to bring in Sasuke. We are already dead."

"Bringing us to him will only open his scar."

Naruto shook his head and retorted.

"No, it will heal them. Sometimes it feels better to know the truth from someone close to you rather than others."

"I know that feeling. I knew Iruka Sensei was the best teacher for me, who accepted me regardless of my identity."

"But because I didn't know I had Nine-Tails inside of me and got this information from a traitor, I froze up in the midst of battle."

"I doubted Iruka Sensei, and he took a giant shuriken on the back for me. You need to tell the truth to Sasuke yourself."

"Anyone else will just manipulate him to do their bidding. Only you can tell the real answer."

Hearing his scolding, Fugaku and Mikoto couldn't help but feel ashamed that they didn't think like that.

After all, it was a matter concerning their children.

As a ninja, they should know how easy it would be to manipulate someone with information alone.

Being reminded by Naruto made them realize that hiding the truth from Sasuke would only make things worse once it was revealed.

After all, even if Itachi took the truth to his grave, there wasn't a hundred percent certainty that Sasuke wouldn't know about it.

After all, Itachi did follow the orders of the village.

"By the way, did Itachi take your eyes?"

Naruto asked.

Although he believed Itachi took Fugaku's eyes, he knew Sasuke didn't have it. So, either Itachi never talked about it.

Or, maybe Obito took it.

He was sure of one thing. Danzo didn't get those.

Fugaku replied.

"After he stabbed us, with our dying breath, we let the Crow Summoning seal it forever unless Itachi or Sasuke needs my eyes."

They would only need his eyes, but he sealed his and his wife's.

Hearing about crows, Naruto didn't look surprised.

After all, Itachi did a similar thing with Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan.

"So, what are your eyes' abilities?"

Fugaku hesitated as he wanted his children to have those eyes, but Mikoto knocked him on the stomach and said.

"We are dead. Why are you still thinking so much?"

Fugaku understood the meaning of her words. They were dead and controlled by Naruto.

As long as he wanted, he could easily force them to reveal their abilities.

"Amaterasu and Demonic Mirror Illusion! One is an eternal flame that will never burn out until its target is dead."

"Another is an illusion that brings out the opponent's opposite persona to fight them in a Genjutsu space where time no longer matters."

"This Genjutsu can't be unlocked until your opponent is either dead or breaks out of it somehow."

Hearing that, Naruto clicked his tongue. He understood why he got a great threat just after Fugaku opened his Mangekyo.

"Those are pretty useless in the long run."

"What did you say?"

Fugaku couldn't help rage up.

"Sorry, it's nothing. But your eyes will be helpful for me to master Susanno."

Naruto said.

Although he didn't want to put others' eyeballs in his eyes, he didn't want to reject them either.

For one reason and one reason alone, it would be helpful for his future training.

He didn't need a full scope Susanno, but if he did understand the mechanism of Susanno, he could potentially create an armored version of that without those eyes.

At least, he believed he could.

"You are serious?" Fugaku didn't ask why he knew about Susanno; instead, he felt surprised by his attitude.

He didn't look greedy, but he did want those eyes as if it were for a test drive.

Naruto waved his hand and said.

"Let's not talk about that now! At least, for now, you two should stay near me, without revealing yourself."

"Tomorrow will be the final round of the Chunin Exam. Let's go back! I need to get some sleep for tomorrow."
