"Moegi?"
Sakura Haruno slightly furrowed her beautiful brows.
She still recognized this child.
How could this be?
Moegi herself was also a little confused.
Was she appearing so soon?
Wait... was I that bold?
Giving Black-framed Naruto-kun a love letter... and blocking the Naruto Gang's path in front of so many people... Oh my god!
Am I crazy?!
Sakura Haruno: "Isn't Kazematsuri Moegi usually with the Third's awful grandson?"
Sakura Haruno: "Did something happen?"
Orochimaru: "Right now, we cannot view this using the information from our world."
Orochimaru: "Black-framed Naruto-kun's path of destiny is completely different from the Naruto in our world."
Orochimaru: "According to what you just said, it's highly likely that due to the changes in Black-framed Naruto-kun, Kazematsuri Moegi's destiny has also changed."
Ino Yamanaka: "The changes in Black-framed Naruto-kun caused changes in the Old Monkey as well. Although generally, the important events haven't changed because of this... that's because Black-framed Naruto-kun doesn't yet have enough power to influence them."
Ino Yamanaka: "In short, the Old Monkey changed, which led to the change in the destiny of the awful grandson Sakura mentioned."
Ino Yamanaka: "Did the Old Monkey treat Konohamaru strictly? Causing Konohamaru to miss the chance to meet Moegi, and then... because he wasn't chosen, he wasn't cultivated by the Old Monkey as a core subordinate of Konohamaru... and didn't receive special treatment?"
"..."
Ino analyzed quite a bit.
Orochimaru nodded slightly: "That's correct."
Just then.
Uzumaki Naruto: "Kazematsuri Moegi... is there a Kazematsuri Clan in Konoha?"
Uzumaki Naruto: "Don't tell me Moegi is also part of the Senju Clan?"
???
Inside the chat room.
As Naruto finished speaking.
A strange silence fell.
In the Pure Land World.
Kushina was stunned for a moment.
Then the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
[Something is wrong... very wrong.]
[Naruto's expression slightly darkened.]
[His intuition told him that something was amiss with Moegi.]
[Moreover, the people monitoring her seemed to be two separate groups.]
[The Old Thing's Anbu Ninja.]
[The other group... could it be Danzo Shimura's Root Organization Ninja?]
[That infamous fellow in the Ninja World... is it targeting Moegi?]
[Why?]
[In an instant, Naruto's mind raced.]
[Is it because Moegi possesses some special ability?]
[Like the eyes of the Uchiha and Hyuga?]
[No... Moegi's appearance clearly isn't Uchiha or Hyuga.]
[Brownish-yellow hair...]
[Naruto was startled, then recalled the physical descriptions of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju's granddaughter, the legendary Sannin Tsunade, and her younger brother, Nawaki.]
['Kazematsuri Moegi... I've never heard of her, she's not even as famous as Kato.']
['Wait!']
['The Senju merged into Konoha... yellow flash, Minato Namikaze...']
['Could it be because Moegi has a high chance of belonging to the Senju Clan?']
['Looking at it this way, the Anbu's suspicion regarding Nawaki's death is slightly lower, while the Root Organization's suspicion is higher!']
['If that's the case... then later, in order to have 'righteousness' when recruiting Tsunade, Moegi might play a significant role.']
[Looking at Moegi, whose eyes were filled with the light called 'hope', Naruto sighed.]
[This Village... is truly rotten to the core.]
[He could almost foresee that Moegi's fate would be no better than Nawaki's.]
['Is it for experiments?']
['The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju's Wood Release?']
['No one else in the Senju besides him possesses Wood Release... Viewed this way, it's not a Bloodline Limit, but a Kekkei Tōta.']
['According to historical documents... Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju also seemed to use people for experiments... Hashirama Senju must have been willing, and the Root Organization took over? And then they started targeting the Senju Clan, and the areas surrounding Konoha...?']
[It felt like another great conspiracy was surfacing.]
['Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju was a very intelligent person who made huge contributions to the Ninja World... he was top-tier in all aspects, but... the matter of taking on disciples... that counts as one of his few blemishes.']
['Following the lineage...']
[Naruto was suddenly speechless.]
Senju Tobirama: "..."
Senju Tobirama: "I used enemies... That damned beast Danzo! That black-hearted monkey!!"
Enough, stop talking about it. After I cleanse the gates, I will apologize with my death and sleep forever. Stop muttering... Wuwuwu~
Tanzaku Town.
Tsunade's face immediately sank.
Shizune was a little worried about her.
However, several thoughts uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.
Reason told her it was not appropriate to inform Lady Tsunade now.
But... "Lady Tsunade."
Shizune took a deep breath.
Lady Tsunade cannot continue like this.
Shizune: "If all of Black-Framed Naruto's deductions are correct."
Shizune: "I think Black-Framed Naruto must be thinking right now, if they dare to openly assassinate the First Hokage's own grandson."
Shizune: "Then what about the rest of the Senju Clan members?"
Shizune: "Were they all sent to the front lines, like Nawaki, and died?"
Orochimaru: "Don't doubt it, that's exactly the case."
Orochimaru: "I was a frontline commander, and so was Jiraiya."
Orochimaru: "Tsunade's mind was focused on the Medical Squad, she didn't know these things."
Orochimaru: "Heh heh, of the two great Ninja Clans that founded Konoha, now hardly anyone remains... No, slightly more Senju remain, but the Uchiha only have one person left."
Those who aren't human don't count.
"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune felt uneasy inside.
"Let's go." Tsunade took a deep breath and regained her composure.
"Where... where are we going?"
"Now, immediately, right now, we are returning to the Village to kill people."
[Naruto took a deep breath.]
[Now was not the time to think about this; Moegi was already running toward him.]
[In an instant, the feeling of being monitored intensified.]
[Naruto knew the Anbu Ninja had noticed him.]
[The feeling of being watched from the other side... that must be the Root Organization Ninja.]
[It felt the same as when he was at the Uchiha Clan Compound.]
[It was just that back then, he didn't know the Root Organization existed.]
[Viewed this way, the Root Organization Ninja seem to have undergone some kind of special training.]
[Compared to the Anbu Ninja who occasionally displayed malice, these Root Organization Ninja were uniformly emotionless.]
[They were like Ninja who only execute missions; regardless of right or wrong, Danzo Shimura's orders were paramount.]
[Hoo—]
[Naruto took a deep breath.]
[Then he turned sideways.]
[Shikamaru, who was walking last, happened to block his path.]
[Now!]
[Naruto performed a single-handed sign.]
[Jutsu complete!]
[Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then seeing Naruto's unusual expression, he immediately stepped aside.]
[Buzz—]
[Activation successful.]
[Naruto took the opportunity to pat Shikamaru's shoulder.]
[Under Naruto's extreme control, the Chakra fluctuation was extremely slight.]
[At this distance, if there were no Sensor Ninja present, and if they weren't sensing him at full capacity, they definitely wouldn't notice.]
[At the same time.]
[Moegi, who was jogging towards Naruto, froze in place.]
[It was as if someone had forcibly halted her forward steps.]
["Insult me, Shikamaru will turn around and glare at you, and you take the opportunity to leave."]
["Then run towards a crowded area, and I will find you."]
