Chapter 34 - Taking a New Path

Sai, Head of the Anbu Department, former member of the Roots!

He held a lot of information. Some of them are so dangerous that they could be used to track the criminal activities done by Danzo.

Since Naruto was the Hokage, Sai wasn't just going to hide all that information for nothing.

Especially since Naruto was also his friend.

So, Naruto knew all of the crimes that Danzo had committed. Even someone like him wouldn't hesitate to kill Danzo.

He also knew the other two elders were connected in some form, but without proper proof, he couldn't do anything.

After all, which village didn't have darkness?

Kumo was always trying to kidnap bloodlines from Konoha. Iwa didn't think for a second to hire an underground organization for war.

Kiri had been persecuting bloodline families for decades, and Suna sacrificed their war hero.

These were just some major darkness that Naruto could remember on top of his head.

Thinking about it, Naruto realized that having the elders wouldn't be good for him.

Especially now that he had decided to change the future.

His interference could create scenarios where he wouldn't want more people trying to put him down.

Even Hiruzen acquiesced to Danzo's idea of putting the hatred of the entire village on a child, much less those elders.

They wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice his reputation if the situation calls for it. He wasn't worried about being sacrificed.

But when it was done by his own village, it sickens him.

So, he would rather clear the ones who could make those calls than wait for the situations.

Besides, his goal would be to clear his previous reputation during this Chunin Exam.

Not only did he plan on giving a spectacular performance in his battle with Neji, but he also planned to perform exceptionally well in the war.

He also planned to forge a better connection with the Daimyo early on.

So, the idea of killing those elders and putting the blame on Danzo wasn't so bad.

"Okay!"

Naruto nodded his head after thinking for a moment. He paused and said.

"But, will I have enough strength to do it in secrecy?"

Kurama pointed at Minato and said.

"Don't worry, he can do it for you."

"No, he can't." Naruto rejected the idea immediately.

Kurama frowned and said.

"Naruto, I have merged with Six Paths Senjutsu Chakra. Although I can't produce it, my chakra has gained the properties of the Six Paths."

"Even if he uses your shadow clone, I can help him recover his Chakra."

Hearing that, Naruto paused but shook his head.

"No, I won't take that risk. Although Six Paths Senjutsu is powerful, it has its limits. Not to mention, this is Dad's Chakra Imprint, not even a proper soul."

His rejection came from his mindset to spend time with his parents. He knew his words weren't true.

Kurama had indeed merged with Six Paths Senjutsu Chakra. Just his own chakra could allow Naruto to possess Kage-level strength as a clone.

So, how could his Six Paths Senjutsu merged Chakra not have the power to keep Minato and Kushina alive?

But Naruto didn't want to take that risk.

Although there was another way to resurrect them, he could only resurrect his mother for now.

Yes, that method was none other than Impure Reincarnation Jutsu, and that was also Naruto's solution.

Before Kurama could say anything, Naruto spoke.

"I have another method. It's a bit morally wrong, but using it will be like hitting two birds with one stone, no, three birds with one stone."

Kurama couldn't help but be curious.

"Oh, what method?"

"Summoning: Impure Reincarnation Jutsu!"

"Absolutely not!"

Kushina rejected the idea immediately. She didn't want her son to play with the dead.

On the other hand, Minato was more focused on Naruto's idea of hitting three birds with one stone. It was just a metaphor, but it meant Naruto had a clear plan.

"Kushina, let's listen to him first!"

Minato pulled his wife and nodded at his son.

Kurama looked at him with a hint of surprise as he started checking his memories.

"Ahh, yes, I forgot you learned this Jutsu and many others after losing me."

Naruto smiled and said.

"Yeah, I learned a lot from the Scroll of Seal. After all, I didn't possess the strength to fight Otsutsuki and their remnants without you."

"Though I didn't get a chance to practice this specific Jutsu, I did remember it."

He turned towards his parents and explained.

"I plan to use this Jutsu to call out Sasuke's parents. And, before you say anything, listen to me!"

His words calmed down his mother, who was already clenching her fist.

"Right now, Sasuke is on edge. With Orochimaru's power, he would be lured towards Orochimaru for strength."

"Originally, I didn't mind it since Sasuke did grow exceptionally strong after training with Orochimaru."

"But now that I have thought about it, it is still a risky method. If something happens to Sasuke, this can go wrong very quickly."

"So, I believe resurrecting his parents using Impure Reincarnation Jutsu will not only keep him in the village but also train him."

"After all, Sasuke told his father had Mangekyo Sharingan. With their training, Sasuke would be able to grow stronger in Konoha as well."

"Besides that, I can also use them in my battle."

Hearing that, Minato paused for a moment and said.

"Yeah, there is a ninety percent chance that they will have some sort of protection from Anbu or their own guards."

"Under such circumstances, if you use just a clone, it will not be enough. Having Fugaku and Mikoto will definitely help."

"That being said, I have one question. Are you ready to get your hands dirty?"

At this moment, Minato showed a strong expression of observation. He knew his son was about to take a step towards a different path.

Naruto took a deep breath and said.

"Yeah, the future me, let's just call him original me, had his own path."

"I have mine."
