Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Battle Ends And Favors Offered

[POV: 3rd Person]

[Scene: Hokage Office (Battle)]

[Track Change: Naruto 'Swaying Necklace']

Danzo made his choice, to the shock of everyone spectating and even Renjiro, Danzo used [APOLOGIZE] and apologized for his rash comment. The spectators knew just how prideful Danzo was, and to see him slapped into being humble was a treat none of them thought they'd see.

Renjiro, after shaking off his surprise, ended the fight by using [SPARE] on Danzo. A message showed up,

*You Won, You Earned 0XP and 600 Ryo*

Renjiro showed a slight smile at the Ryo he gained; he remembered that 1 Ryo was 10 yen, with 600 Ryo equaling 6000 yen, or about 40 dollars. While not much, it was something, at least he could go to Ichiraku with this right? He had tried the instant ramen from the grocery store, but now he could try the real thing, he couldn't wait and told Asriel about getting some later. He was also excited, as he too only had instant ramen at Alphys' lab.

The monochrome arena faded, and Asriel walked towards Danzo and held up his hands, he started using [Green Magic] to heal the damage done during the [FIGHT]. Danzo was startled but soon felt a warmth spreading through his body, his fatigue disappeared, and he felt the minor joint pain from his age receding. After Asriel was done Danzo could help but jump in place before softly speaking,

"Amazing even my knee and hip pain is gone. Asriel, Renjiro, if possible I would implore you to look for a job in the Hospital, this Magic is very good."

Asriel replied, "Of course it's good, even though the Magic is mine, Renjiro graduated with a degree in medicine, and later became a health science teacher, he knows much more than me about the human body, that's why our Magic has such a good effect, combined with [Yang Release] Renjiro was able to heal Lady Kushina's depleted vitality. It wasn't necessary now due to a [FIGHT] not doing much, if any, physical damage, so I only used [Green Magic]."

Hiruzen, thankful no lasting damage was done, spoke next.

"While I apologize such a [FIGHT] occurred, I am thankful it was resolved with no lasting damage. I hope no hard feelings arise from this encounter, Danzo is someone who cares deeply about Konoha, and he wanted to ensure that we don't become vulnerable due to losing our Jinchuriki."

"While that is understandable, Uncle Kurama won't be leaving Konoha, and I will convince him to lend his strength to Konoha in the event of an attack, as his safety is on the line if either Konoha falls or the children are attacked. So, there is no need to worry there."

At this Hiruzen, Danzo, and Minato sighed in relief. Having the Nine-Tails strength on standby, even if under duress was better than not having it at all.

"Before we conclude this meeting I think I should ask Lord Fourth and Lord Fugaku a question. As you have seen, those with SOULs like mine can initiate a [FIGHT] and have access to Magic, due to the SOUL strength afforded to Naruto and Sasuke, I can awaken their SOUL traits. I extend this offer to the remaining clan heads, as long as their child's SOUL strength is sufficient they can have their traits awakened up until they reach 4 or 5 years of age, as this is likely when they'll first extract Chakra. Afterwards awakening the SOUL trait will change the signature of ones Chakra too much from their original signature, causing Chakra control issues, and creating a disconnect between a person's physical and mental power, the foundations of Chakra. This is not guaranteed however, if your child doesn't have the sufficient SOUL strength, I will not attempt this as it could have negative consequences. Do you consent to this?" Renjiro asked.

Minato and Fugaku looked at each other, nodded, and gave their consent to awaken Naruto and Sasuke's SOUL traits. The other clan leaders also agreed to have their children checked for the potential to awaken, as who would deny the opportunity for their child's fortune?
