Crossing Naruto: Becoming a Perfect Jinchūriki

The atmosphere in Konoha's meeting room was solemn.

Only the sound of Sarutobi Hiruzen mumbling to himself remained:

“Did he fail? The Fourth Raikage inherited the will of his father, the Third Raikage, and is still as strong as ever.

Not only do they not want to give us Konoha a reasonable explanation, they even make all kinds of demands on us, threatening to go to war with us if we are not to."

Hiashi stood up and said in a low but powerful voice:

"Let's fight! We, the Hyuga clan, will never retreat even a single step. This time we must wash away the humiliation we have suffered."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked silently. In the smoke, his already old face seemed to have become even more tired and haggard.

He took a deep breath and said in a voice that was almost a shout:

"That's right! We must not compromise! Shikaku, you immediately write another counter-letter to the Fourth Raikage Ai,

We must clearly state Konoha Village's peace-loving stance, but at the same time, we must also let them know that we will never compromise.

We demand that the Fourth Raikage Ai must apologize to us. If they really want to start a war, then we will fight them without fear! "

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and everyone felt the firm determination in Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

Everyone expressed their support and willingness to fight to defend Konoha.

Not long after, the Hidden Cloud Village finally declared war on Konoha.

The Konoha meeting fell into silence again, and finally Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the silence.

His voice was low and firm: "Well, now that we have decided to go to war, we must make every effort to prepare for the war.

I will personally serve as the commander-in-chief, responsible for overall management and command, while ensuring an adequate supply of combat materials.

Shikaku will serve as military advisor, using his wisdom and strategies to guide our actions.

Hiashi and Fugaku will take on the responsibility of captain and lead the tribesmen into battle.

The clan leaders of each clan will send their elite forces to participate, and at the same time, the other ninjas of Konoha will be reasonably assigned to various teams by me."

"I want to join the battle too!" Naruto shouted excitedly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen retorted with a frown on his face and concern in his tone.

"Naruto, you are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and you are still young. I am worried that you may not be able to withstand the pressure of this cruel war."

"Third generation grandfather, please allow me to fight! I am not a weak person, and my strength is very strong!"

Naruto had a confident smile on his face.

Kakashi agreed, "Naruto is right, he is indeed very powerful. If we let Naruto play, our chances of winning will increase greatly."

During this period of time, Kakashi witnessed Naruto's amazing growth rate and his abnormal training methods, and he had a deep feeling about it.

Even if Naruto does not use the Nine-Tails' chakra now, Kakashi may not be able to defeat Naruto even if he launches a sneak attack.

Shikaku also agreed: "Yes, Naruto does need to go on the field. Two perfect Jinchuriki have already appeared in the Hidden Cloud Village. If we don't let Naruto go on the field, we may find it difficult to contain them."

"Okay, Naruto, you can participate in the battle, but you must not leave the team at will." The Third Hokage finally made a decision.

"Know it!"

Naruto replied without hesitation, a determined gleam in his eyes.

……

On the streets of Konoha, people were in a panic and coming and going in a hurry.

“Why is meat so expensive today?”

"Don't you know? The war is about to start, and prices will naturally soar."

"What! Are we going to fight again?"

"The third war just ended, why is there another one?"

"I heard that the Kumogakure delegation came not to sign a peace agreement, but to steal the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. After being discovered and shot dead, the Hidden Kumogakure Village demanded that Konoha offer the Byakugan and hand over the murderer who killed the Kumogakure."

"I see. Then the Hokage-sama will agree. A war like this will only result in countless casualties."

"..."

"Naruto, you are going to the battlefield too." Sasuke said solemnly.

"Yes."

"Damn it, why? Am I still too weak? My father went to the battlefield, my brother went to the battlefield, Kakashi-sensei and Might Guy-sensei went to the battlefield, and even you, Naruto, are going to the battlefield, but I am left alone in Konoha."

Sasuke said angrily, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

"Sasuke..."

Naruto reached out his hand and wanted to comfort Sasuke, but he didn't know how to start.

"I hate you."

Sasuke shouted, slapping Naruto's hand away, wiping away his tears, and running away without looking back.

Naruto shook his head and decided that it would be better to let Sasuke calm down alone. If Naruto went to find Sasuke at this time, it might backfire.

As Naruto walked down the street, he was acutely aware of the tense atmosphere surrounding him.

He had no specific destination, but just wandered around freely, trying to integrate into the world and feel the fear and anxiety in the hearts of those living at the bottom of society.

Just then, Naruto passed by a familiar figure.

His steps seemed to be a little unsteady and his head was hung low, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

Naruto moved closer out of curiosity and barely heard him muttering something:

“Why do we have to fight again? Is peace really so out of reach?” The man’s voice was full of helplessness and pain.

“War will only bring more deaths, and how many innocent lives will be lost!” he continued, with deep sadness in his tone.

"And what is the essential difference between life and death? What is the purpose of our hasty passage through this world..."

These questions hit Naruto's heart like a hammer.

I can only say that he is worthy of being called Itachi, thinking about problems so profoundly at such a young age.

Naruto stopped Itachi and said, "Hello, Uchiha Itachi, my name is Naruto, and I'm a good friend of your brother Sasuke. Would you like dessert? I'll treat you."

Itachi's thoughts were interrupted by Naruto. He slowly raised his head, looked at Naruto, and finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth:

"it is good."

Naruto brought Itachi to a dessert shop.

"Hey, what are you doing? There's a war going on and we're closing the store!

Hey, isn't this the nine-tailed fox? Get out of here quickly. Even if our store is open, you are not welcome here." The dessert shop owner scolded.

Itachi looked at Naruto, he never expected that Naruto had such a bad reputation and was subject to such prejudice.

Naruto had expected this. He shook his head helplessly and used his "money ability".

"Ten thousand taels, for two deluxe meals."

"Who do you think you are? Do you think I will bow to you for money?" the dessert shop owner roared angrily.

"Isn't it? One hundred thousand taels. Now that we're at war, I think you're short of money, too."

"You... you are so good at judging people. You are like my second parents! Come on, please take a seat, my dear guest. I will do it right away."

After hearing the price of one hundred thousand taels, the boss immediately changed his expression and came forward to greet us warmly.
