[3rd POV]
After a relentless training session at the hands of Milim and Wanda, Naruto ended up taking a short rest, before heading off on his own into Konoha, unknowing to the fact that the one eyed man known as Danzo Shimura was currently very very angry.
All the ROOT anbu he had been following and watching the boy, had mysteriously disappeared over the last couple of days, as if they were never even there in the first place. No matter how hard his very best trackers tried, they couldn't find even the tiniest hint of them.
It was like they had been wiped from existence.
And the fact that someone was capable enough to do something like that, and was currently in the village, was...a problem. A huge problem, especially with his constant surveillance of the same boy that he wished to make one of his anbu.
A perfect weapon to wield against anyone or anything that dared to try anything against the village. But no matter how hard he tried, Hiruzen was always in the way, stopping his attempts before he could even try.
He had been trying his best to make the boy come to him on his own. Spreading the fact that he was the Jinchiriki to the Nine Tails, making sure that he couldn't even buy food or clothes without being tossed out. Having his apartment ripped apart and destroyed all the time.
Harassed and bullied by random boys.
But none of it had done anything, and ever since he had taken his damn Uzumaki inheritance, he had been rapidly growing, in an alarming manner. All thanks to some unknown woman that didn't seem to exist a few months ago, who runs a bookstore that doesn't seem to exist.
"...It must be her, it has to be. An unknown woman arrives at the same time my anbu starts to disappear. An unknown woman meets the boy right when he becomes the inheritor of the Uzumaki and learns of his heritage. An unknown woman appears in his life just as he begins to grow at a rapid pace" Danzo muttered to himself, as he sat in his office in the ROOT headquarters.
It was a hidden location just outside the village, and was next to impossible to find, even for the best trackers in the village. It was also one of the most protected places in the village.
"But of course Hiruzen won't see reason, he won't recognize the danger that this woman poses. If she can cause the boy to grow this strong in such a short time, then she must be taken care of" Danzo grumbled to himself, as he motioned for the ROOT anbu inside to appear before him.
"I have a mission for you, find the woman that has started this change in Naruto Uzumaki. I want her captured, but if all else fails, eliminate her" Danzo ordered, as the three men in front of him nodded, their blank masks hiding their faces from the world as they left the room to prepare for the mission.
It was an important mission, and they could not afford to make a mistake. If they did, they would likely be punished severely, maybe even killed.
Watching them leave, Danzo showed a small smirk, knowing that the mission would be complete, especially when the entire ROOT force was prepared for this.
"Soon...soon the ultimate weapon shall be mine"

With Naruto, the boy was unaware of what was currently happening in another part of Konoha. Instead, he was walking through the streets, heading to a weapons shop that his Mama had recommended after she searched the village.
She had used her power to find a shop that would treat him with respect and not with the disgust that others would. And she found the perfect shop only a few minutes away from the compound, one run by the father of Tenten, and it was because of this father that she loved weapons so much.
Walking to the shop, Naruto paused in front of it, as he looked it over, before breathing in and walking into the shop. The second he did, he found that the shop itself was quite large, spacious, and had all sorts of weapons on racks.
'Whoa, Mama was right, this place has tons of sick stuff!' Naruto thought, looking over the swords and kunai that were around the place. He wasn't the most knowledgeable when it came to weapons, but even he could tell that this was quality stuff.
"Hmm, oh, hello there. Do you need help with anything?" A man behind the counter asked, glancing at Naruto. He blinked slightly when he realized who it was, before smiling.
'Huh, looks exactly like them' The man thought, remembering a red head and blonde, comparing them to the boy in front of him.
"Oh uh yeah! I was wondering if I can do bulk orders for shuriken, kunai, and smoke bombs?" Naruto asked, as the man hummed.
"How much do you need for each? You need them for training for the Chunin exams, right? Mattering on how much you need, it might take too long to have them ready" The man asked.
"I need around 500 shuriken and kunai, and maybe...hmm, like 75 smoke bombs? I have all the ryo needed" Naruto responded, as Wanda had given him some money. That and he was quite literally worth hundreds of millions from the Uzumaki compounds safe.
And if his Mama was right, then he'd be a billionaire once he claimed the inheritance from the Uzushio vault.
"Alright, I should be able to do that. But it'll take me around a week or so. And I'll need half up front and then half after" The man said, writing down the order and doing the calculations for the price.
"That's fine, how much?"
"Hmm, lets say...250,000 ryo" The man responded, Naruto looked a little surprised at the price, but nodded as he brought out a check, as it was easier. A check for 125,000 ryo was soon made and handed to him.
"Well, I'll see you in a week, Uzumaki-San!" The man said with a smile, as Naruto gave him a wave, excited to see what his order would look like, as he left the shop, deciding to go and get some Ichiraku ramen before heading back.

Back home, Wanda was working on a project alone. The project itself was a weapon that she was creating for Naruto, a katana that he could utilize in the future. It would be a powerful weapon that would grow alongside him, so it wouldn't just grant him instant power, but would instead adapt and develop with him.
The katana itself wasn't hard to make, as she made it out of various metals from around existence, including Proto Adamantium, Vibranium, Uru, Nth Metal, and a handful of others. But it was the enchantments and concepts she was placing onto it that was taking her a bit longer, as she was being absolutely concise with it.
As she worked on the weapon, Wanda chuckled "Seems Danzo is getting arrogant thinking he can try anything. Too bad for him, those little agents of his won't be getting far" Wanda said to herself, as she would be wiping them out as well.
They wouldn't even be able to step near her, much less harm her.
So, Wanda put a curse on each of them. Where the second they got in a certain range from her, they'd get wiped from existence like their allies from last time. This would stop her from having to do anything herself, and Danzo would yet again not be able to do anything.
She'd take care of Danzo himself once Tsunade moved in and became Hokage.
Running her finger over the Katana in her hands, Wanda smiled, pleased with the product. It was strong, and had the potential to rise to power levels rivaling that of the strongest weapons in creation. A perfect weapon for Naruto.
She would be making one for Milim too, but she would need to ask the girl what sort of weapon she would want. As Milim didn't seem like the type that would want a Katana or different type of sword like Naruto did.
With that in mind, Wanda smiled and flicked her wrist, the katana getting put away on the counter, as she began to walk off, one thought on her mind.
'Time to make some lunch!'
