"Why harm people... You participated in the Fourth Great Ninja War; you should know that peace doesn't come easily."
Shinju reviewed the documents in his hand while scrutinizing the detained man below.
"I am speaking out for Danzō-sama! He gave everything for this village, put his heart and soul into it. Without him, Konoha wouldn't have the peace it has today!"
"You, Shinju, you are the main culprit behind Danzō-sama's death! You are the one who deserves to die the most!"
The man got more agitated as he spoke, twisting his body in an attempt to break free from his restraints...
Shinju looked speechless: "Danzō's matter was so many years ago, why do you guys still hold onto it?"
"Yes, you're right, that old man did contribute a bit to Konoha's development, but he did plenty of evil deeds too."
"Human experimentation, assassinating the Hokage, assassinating high-ranking officials... I can't even count all the bad things he did..."
As Shinju spoke, his Rinnegan activated. He created a clone and slowly brought his hands together:
"I've always believed in persuading people with virtue; I don't like using violence."
"Edo Tensei!"
Using the Wood Release clone as a sacrifice, Shinju summoned Danzō's soul from the Pure Land!
The man was stunned, and with a "Bang!", he slammed his head on the ground!
"Danzō-sama! How are you doing down there?!"
At this moment, Danzō's eyes were lifeless; obviously, he couldn't answer the man's question.
Next, Shinju slowly placed his hand on Danzō's forehead and said, "When I summoned him, I erased his individual will. He can't answer your questions."
"Next, I'm going to read Danzō's memories and then show them to you using genjutsu. If you're still dead set on following this old guy after watching, then I have nothing left to say..."
After speaking, the Sharingan genjutsu activated!!
...
A few minutes later, outside the Hokage's office.
Naruto asked Shinju with a face full of confusion: "Shinju, wouldn't it be better to just throw him in prison? Why go through the trouble of explaining so much?"
Shinju's gaze was profound: "After Danzō died, there were still many people from 'Root' hiding in Konoha. They are destabilizing factors for the village."
"Making them understand Danzō's crimes and abandoning their blind loyalty to him is beneficial for the village's peace."
Naruto scratched his head: "Then wouldn't it be better to just arrest them all?"
"Do you not use your brain at all?" Shinju was speechless.
"There are so many remnant forces. Arresting every single one would definitely cause mass panic."
"Those people were brainwashed by Danzō, and a significant portion of them have adapted to a stable life now. As long as they don't cause trouble, just let them live their lives in peace."
"At the end of the day, they are also part of Konoha."
Naruto: "..."
"Wow! Shinju, you think about so much. Is your level that high now?"
"I never thought about these issues at all..."
"No! I'm still far from being Hokage! I need to keep working hard! I'll strive to become Hokage within five years!"
"Five years..." Shinju's eyes suddenly looked tired.
"Actually, you don't need to think that much. After you take office, you'll have Shikamaru and Sasuke assisting you..."
Naruto clenched his fist, his tone firm: "No! I want to become a qualified Hokage relying on my own strength!"
...
Konoha Hospital.
Yamanaka Inoichi and his wife came to visit their precious daughter.
Inoichi asked concernedly: "Ino, are you okay..."
Ino smiled to reassure her parents: "Under Shinju's treatment, the toxins in my body were cleared long ago. I'm just staying for observation for a while."
Inoichi nodded: "That's good, that's good..."
"Speaking of which, the Sixth Hokage really cares about you; he actually left a clone specifically to protect your safety."
Hearing this, Ino's small face blushed slightly: "He's the Hokage now, so naturally, he has to protect everyone in the village."
Inoichi: "But towards you, he's definitely a bit more special."
Beside them, Ino's mother looked worried: "Hokage-sama is powerful and too dazzling; he has made quite a few enemies."
"He's strong enough to protect himself, but the people around him aren't necessarily safe..."
Yamanaka Inoichi understood his wife's meaning and scolded her in a low voice:
"What are you saying? Hokage-sama serves the village with all his heart and soul; how can we only think about ourselves..."
Ino's mother retorted: "But Ino is my daughter after all. As a mother, how can I not worry about her..."
Ino also understood her mother's worries and comforted her:
"It's okay. Shinju can even resurrect the dead, so what is there to worry about, Mother?"
Hearing this, Ino's mother thought about it carefully. It seemed to make sense, so she didn't say anything more.
...
Nighttime, Shinju's home.
Shinju was recalling Danzō's memories that he had seen today.
If he hadn't read them today, he really wouldn't have known that Danzō had done so many things during his years in charge of 'Root'...
"Gozu Tennō'... This project codename is interesting. It's a pity Danzō died early, so I don't know the progress of the subsequent research..."
While thinking randomly, Shinju recalled that he still had the Tenseigan brought back from the moon sealed within him. He had been so busy these days that he hadn't had time to study it properly...
A few minutes later, the brilliant golden Tenseigan, looking like a small sun, was taken out of the sealed space by Shinju.
"This eye possesses the ability to move the moon. Truly remarkable. I wonder if I can use it..."
Saying that, Shinju tried to connect with it using chakra. Unsurprisingly, it was all devoured by the Tenseigan...
Shinju started pondering again: "The Tenseigan can absorb chakra, and the Rinnegan can also absorb chakra. Can I use the Rinnegan to absorb the Tenseigan..."
After thinking it over, Shinju felt this plan was feasible. He activated his Rinnegan technique and attempted to absorb the Tenseigan!
A few seconds later, Shinju closed his eyes: "Still no good. I can't absorb it. I feel like I'm missing a medium..."
"Wait... a medium!"
Shinju remembered that Toneri's Tenseigan had evolved from the Byakugan. The Byakugan and Tenseigan are closely linked. If he wanted to manipulate this massive Tenseigan now, would he also need the help of a Byakugan?
"Then, ask Hinata to come over and help?" Shinju muttered, but he quickly rejected the idea himself.
Hinata and Naruto had just established their relationship, so better not disturb them.
"Hanabi."
The image of Hinata's younger sister appeared in Shinju's mind.
Hanabi's eyes were gouged out by Toneri back then and evolved into the Tenseigan. Although they later reverted to the Byakugan, they had accepted the Tenseigan's chakra after all!
Hanabi's Byakugan might be even more suitable than Hinata's!!
...
The next day, evening.
At the gate of the Hyuga household.
Hyuga Hiashi looked at Shinju in confusion and asked: "Lord Sixth... is there something urgent that brings you here today?"
Shinju: "I would like to ask Hana..."
Hiashi: "No!"
