Not long after, Danzō left with a grim expression.

Shin didn't waste time with pleasantries. He told Danzō that the mission to destroy Iwa's supplies was complete, and if he didn't believe it, he could go check himself.

He also threatened to kill Danzō if he caused any more trouble. Whether Danzō took the threat seriously or not, Shin meant it.

He then sent Danzō away.

"You let him go just like that?" Kushina was dissatisfied.

She wanted to put Danzō in his place.

"I don't know why, but every time I see Danzō's face, I have the urge to punch him," Mikoto said.

"I feel the same way," Kushina agreed.

"Alright, let's make dinner. I'm starving."

Shin interrupted them.

...

After leaving Shin, Danzō went straight to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hiruzen, my plan failed. Uzumaki Shin completed the mission. He infiltrated the Iwa camp and destroyed their supplies," Danzō reported.

"What?" Hiruzen frowned.

Infiltrated the Iwa camp and destroyed their supplies? He doubted it.

"You can send someone to investigate. If it's true, we can attack Iwa now."

Danzō left after delivering his message.

...

Not long after he left, the rumors of Shin's mission failure disappeared and were replaced with praise for his success. The previous rumors were now blamed on enemy spies spreading misinformation.

This was Danzō's doing. He was only acting out of fear. Shin had threatened to kill him if he heard any more slander.

Danzō was furious, but he ultimately backed down. Shin's threat seemed genuine.

And Shin was only twelve. Who knew what a hot-headed kid might do? After all, Shin had attacked him before.

"Danzō works fast."

Shin had only finished eating, and the rumors had already changed.

He recalled asking Danzō to find Uchiha Ryota. Danzō had delivered the information within three days. He was efficient. Perhaps Shin could use him for other tasks in the future.

As for whether Danzō would agree... that was simple. Just threaten his life.

"Your reputation seems to have improved. Happy?" Tsunade asked Shin.

"Happy? Please. I don't care about that," Shin scoffed.

"Shin, are you interested in becoming Hokage?"

Tsunade asked seriously.

"Why are you asking?" Shin looked at her, confused.

"If you want to be Hokage, I can help you."

The Senju Clan might have declined, but their influence remained. If Tsunade supported Shin, some of the other clans would too.

Of course, Shin had to be capable.

And he was. He had the strength and the brains. Tsunade felt he would make a great Hokage.

"Tsunade, have you forgotten? Your brother Nawaki's dream is to become Hokage. You should help him. I have no interest in that position. And I wouldn't make a good Hokage anyway."

Shin refused. He wasn't interested in the Hokage position. It held no appeal to him.

Power? He didn't need it. To him, strength was everything.

"Nawaki's personality isn't suited for being Hokage. I think you'd be perfect."

"First, it doesn't matter what you think. And don't forget, I wasn't originally from Konoha. I can't become Hokage."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Shin didn't want to continue this pointless discussion. He had never wanted to be Hokage and didn't have deep feelings for Konoha.

"Fine, but if you change your mind, let me know."

"I won't."

"Don't be so sure. You might change your mind one day. Come on, let's go back to the tent. It's raining again."

Tsunade looked up at the falling rain.

"I have to go do something."

Shin suddenly said, then opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal and stepped through it.

"He didn't even say what he was doing. I'll get him back for this." Tsunade grumbled.

...

Shin used Yomotsu Hirasaka to teleport back to his house in Konoha. There was someone sitting in the courtyard, looking bewildered.

It was Nawaki. He was staring at his hands in confusion.

"You were in danger, weren't you?"

Shin's voice startled Nawaki. "How did you know? And aren't you on the battlefield?"

"I'm a fortune teller. I can predict the future."

"Shin, did you save me?"

Nawaki remembered falling into an explosive trap. The tags had detonated, and then he had fallen into a dark void, ending up here.

Shin nodded. "Sort of."

The Transcription Seal he had implanted in Nawaki's eyes had activated. Tenmomei had saved his life, and Yomotsu Hirasaka had transported him to Shin's courtyard.

Shin had set the destination for Yomotsu Hirasaka to be his courtyard when he applied the Transcription Seal.

"How did you do it?" Nawaki asked.

"I can't tell you that. You just had a brush with death, Nawaki. Tell me what happened."

Nawaki's expression darkened. "It was that bastard Kai. He pushed me into an explosive trap."

Shin was surprised. He hadn't expected Kai to be involved.

"What happened? Why would Kai do that?" Shin asked.

"I don't know. He just attacked me and pushed me into a trap filled with explosive tags."

Nawaki didn't understand why Kai would try to kill him. They had their differences, but it wasn't that serious.
