"Perverted Old Man, let me tell you, the Hokage is right here. If you talk like that, I can report you..."
Before he could finish, Naruto's vision was blocked.
Tsunade put her hand on Naruto's shoulder and said, "Take me to the Hyuga Clan."
The Hyuga Clan residence wasn't far from Hokage Rock. At Tsunade's speed, it would take less than two minutes to get there, but after knowing the entire Konoha was filled with explosive tags, she couldn't wait a second longer.
Because of the height difference, what blocked his vision was...
Naruto threw his hands up.
The Konoha group chat was just like that, people chatting, and then suddenly a pair of hearts would pop up.
Even though he was almost kicked out of the group, Tsunade, as the group leader, had given a benefit, so Naruto, as a group member, had to give her face, otherwise he'd be muted and locked in the small dark room.
He opened a portal, created a clone, and let the clone fly her. Ordinary people didn't get this kind of treatment from his main body.
Before teleporting away, Tsunade instructed, "Hinata, you and your family's guard first clear the explosive tags inside Hokage Rock. Sasuke, you go help too. Naruto... Jiraiya, you arrange him..."
She didn't mention Hanabi, because Naruto's clone had already teleported Hanabi away.
At the main gate of the Hyuga Clan, Tsunade, who had just teleported, said to Hanabi, "Please call your father out for me." Even if she was the Hokage, she couldn't just casually trespass into the heart of a clan. Although nothing bad would happen, it would leave the Hyuga Clan with the impression that she didn't view them with respect.
"Okay." Hanabi was also sensible.
A moment later, Naruto's future father-in-law came out: "Hokage-sama?"
On the other side, Jiraiya grabbed a clone and said, "Send me to the Inuzuka Clan." Although the discovery method was like child's play, this matter might be Konoha's biggest crisis since its founding. Jiraiya couldn't ignore it.
"I don't know where the Inuzuka Clan is." Naruto had never been to the Inuzuka Clan residence.
"It's roughly at..." Jiraiya reported the location.
"You're all leaving, what am I going to do?" Naruto asked.
Jiraiya, with the clone, walked towards the portal and said, "You stay put! You're not allowed to touch any explosive tags, not even go near them!" This kid could blow up Konoha without bombs; if he got his hands on explosive tags, what then?
"Also, stop the fireworks. Konoha is full of bombs right now; is it appropriate for you to set off fireworks like this?"
At the main gate of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi Hyuga understood the seriousness of the problem and quickly went back to organize people.
Tsunade extended her hand again: "Paper, brush, ink." She knew Naruto's abilities very well because she had Kakashi under her command.
Taking the items, Tsunade wrote while saying, "Send me near the Aburame Clan. The location is... Also, send another clone here to get the note." Tsunade knew where Jiraiya would go, so she needed to go to another clan with reconnaissance abilities.
"I can't..." Before the clone could finish, Tsunade struck it dead. Kakashi had analyzed Naruto's abilities, even figuring out that his clones couldn't open portals, so Tsunade knew that too.
Hyuga Gate Guard: [Hokage-sama did a great job!] They had always wanted to hit him but couldn't, and today they finally got some satisfaction.
With one action, Tsunade gained two more hearts.
Tsunade, who finished writing the note in a few seconds, took out a stamp from her four-dimensional heart-shaped cleavage, to the dumbfounded amazement of the clone who had brought Hanabi, and stamped it on the note.
She handed the note to the newly arrived clone and said, "Take this note to the Ninja Hawk Breeding Grounds and have them send out a signal." She felt uneasy with these explosive tags remaining in Konoha for even a second. Tsunade had to seize every moment.
This was Konoha's first time applying Naruto's abilities practically, and the efficiency was very high. First, she had the three clans with reconnaissance abilities move, then she gathered trusted Jonin, and she would then return to assign tasks, fully utilizing every second.
Tsunade was a master strategist; with one move, she orchestrated a global... no, a village-wide mobile combat tactic.
Everyone had left, leaving only a blond-haired boy sitting alone by a campfire under the moonlight. Hinata was clearing explosive tags inside Hokage Rock. He didn't want to disturb her, afraid that under his gaze, Hinata might get excited and accidentally detonate the tags.
The fireworks had stopped. He still listened to what Jiraiya said, and he would also listen to Jiraiya's instruction not to touch the explosive tags. Since you won't let me touch them, then I won't. If I meet Sister Nan in the future, all 600 billion explosive tags can be given to you; I won't touch a single one.
"Sigh... how did a perfectly good date turn out like this? Who did I even provoke?" Although he had to listen to Jiraiya, he couldn't let this matter slide. This grudge still needed to be remembered.
Konoha Year 60, September XX.
At a date with Hinata just before leaving the village for a journey, I was kicked by Master Jiraiya...
The more he wrote, the more embarrassed Naruto felt. He shredded the paper and threw it into the campfire.
Forget writing it on paper; I'm going home to carve it on the wall!
He sent a clone home, and Naruto himself wandered into the forest.
Inside Hokage Rock, Hinata, who wasn't being watched by Naruto, almost detonated an explosive tag in her excitement. Searching for explosive tags required activating her Byakugan, and Hinata paid special attention to Naruto, so she saw everything he wrote.
"Sasuke, is Naruto-kun leaving?" Hinata asked.
There were only three people in Hokage Rock now: Yamato, Hinata, and Sasuke. Yamato definitely knew nothing, so Hinata could only ask Sasuke, Naruto's teammate.
"Mm, Jiraiya-sensei said he's taking him out of the village for a while these days." Sasuke replied.
"Oh." Knowing the situation, Hinata felt a bit disappointed. She could tell Naruto hadn't told her because he was afraid of affecting her mood during their date. Now Hinata understood why Naruto gave her the oil lamp when they had hotpot.
It was inevitable that Hinata's emotional fluctuation wasn't as intense as Sasuke's when he first heard the news. Sasuke, upon hearing the news, didn't know about the oil lamp, so he truly thought he wouldn't see Naruto for several years. Hinata received the news after knowing about the oil lamp, so she knew they could meet whenever they wanted, thus she wasn't as agitated. This was also intentional on Naruto's part, not wanting Hinata to have too many worries.
Naruto wandered around the forest a few times but couldn't find a crooked-necked tree that suited his taste. He planned to plant the crooked-necked tree behind Tsunade's Hokage Rock. Last time, after she hit him, he made her experience the feeling of Emperor Taizong; this time, she hit his clone, so Naruto prepared to make her experience the feeling of Emperor Chongzhen.
He didn't find a tree, but he did find several people in the forest investigating something. They wore masks. Naruto didn't know who they were, but he could generally guess. The masked ninjas in Konoha were the Anbu and Root. The Anbu needed Tsunade's dispatch, and Tsunade was swamped right now, so she definitely didn't have time to send Anbu. That left only Danzo.
Thinking of Danzo, Naruto abandoned the idea of planting a crooked-necked tree and decided to leave Danzo a big gift before he left. This night, while most people in Konoha were digging things up, there was only one blond-haired boy, whose style was completely out of sync with the rest of Konoha, hiding things.
With many people participating, the explosive tags were cleared quickly. After Naruto had hidden his items, almost all the explosive tags in Konoha were gone.
Naruto smiled happily after sending Hinata home. He didn't know if Danzo would send people to dig up the things he hid, but he hoped Danzo would. Naruto wasn't afraid of Danzo making any connections after seeing them, because Danzo wouldn't understand. Not just him, but no one in the entire ninja world, except Naruto, would understand.
