Konoha: Naruto's abnormal life choices

"Naruto, you're still just a kid. Kids shouldn't be thinking about inappropriate things every day. If your mind is constantly filled with such nonsense, it'll negatively affect your physical development."

"I'm already an adult!"

"What kind of adult has a chin that barely reaches mine?"

"I'm way taller than my peers!"

"And you're aware that your peers are still little kids who barely have peach fuzz!"

"But—"

"No buts!"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, cutting Naruto off. "From now on, I'll be strictly monitoring your social activity. Stop obsessing over inappropriate things. Take care of your body, you little brat."

"But—"

"Go ahead, try talking back again." Tsunade's glare was fiery.

The look in her eyes practically sizzled with rage.

Even though Tsunade looked young, Naruto knew her true age. Could this be... menopause?

Maybe that's why her temper was flaring, and she was taking it out on him?

Sighing helplessly, Naruto nodded in agreement. It was just a verbal agreement anyway. He didn't believe the Hokage would actually have time to watch over him.

"Women... they don't just distract you from training, they also harm your health. I'm doing this for your own good," Tsunade said, ruffling Naruto's hair.

Naruto resisted the urge to swat her hand away. Instead, he nodded again. "You're right, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade really wasn't someone to mess with today.

Who knew what got into her? She even transformed herself into Sister Xi Yan to catch him red-handed—a whole sting operation.

Honestly, Naruto wanted to tell her she didn't need to go that far. To him, she was even more alluring than Sister Xi Yan.

Her figure alone was overwhelming.

"Good boy. Just behave."

Tsunade stretched her arms wide, showing off her assets with the casual confidence of someone who knew her strengths.

"Alright, get up. You've rested over three hours—more than enough."

She climbed out of bed, picked up her green robe with the word "Gamble" stitched on the back, and put it on. Bending down, she hooked her high heels with her fingers, slipping her crimson-painted toes into them.

Clack. Clack.

The heels clicked on the floor. Satisfied with the fit, Tsunade caught Naruto staring at her painted nails.

"What? You want yours done too?"

Naruto rolled his eyes silently.

Nail polish was for beautiful women. On anyone else, it would just be an eyesore.

Once both were dressed, they stepped out of the tent together. Naruto asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Lady Tsunade, where's the real Sister Xi Yan?"

He hadn't seen her since Tsunade caught him in bed. With the brutal battle yesterday, he was genuinely worried about her.

Even though he could technically bring people back from the dead, Naruto didn't want anything to happen to Uzuki Yugao.

Seeing the flash of concern in his eyes, Tsunade bit her lip, feeling a strange tightness in her chest that she couldn't quite explain.

"You little brat, you're hopeless. First it was Temari from the Sand, then Ino from the Yamanaka Clan..."

Tsunade gave him a sharp look. "What on earth is so special about Uzuki Yugao that you care so much? First off, she's much older than you. Second, she's half a widow. Seriously, how are you so capable?"

Naruto: "…"

Forget it. Not worth arguing. If he opened his mouth again, he might get smacked.

"Your Sister Xi Yan is fine. I had her lead the injured and the ashes back to Konoha early," Tsunade eventually answered, then sped up, expression unreadable.

Uzuki Yugao reminded her of herself.

She too was older than Naruto. Both were lonely, having lost family and loved ones. So whenever Tsunade saw the two together, it stirred something inside her.

Ever since catching them in bed, she'd found herself occasionally daydreaming—imagining herself in Yugao's place with Naruto.

This was all Mao Yue Xi Yan's fault.

She had no shame.

And she dragged me down with her!

Later that day, an emergency war council convened.

The topic was simple: should Konoha capitalize on its momentum and press the attack on the Hidden Cloud Village?

They had already secured victory—any other force would go in for the kill.

But Konoha was different. In every previous war, even if they won, they'd halt the offensive and head straight into peace negotiations.

A few reparations, maybe a treaty—then they'd let it go.

But this time, Tsunade was in charge. With her at the helm, 70% of the votes favored continuing the assault.

Konoha had suffered too long. This was the perfect opportunity to reassert dominance. Everyone wanted to beat Kumogakure while they were down.

They split into four squads again, but this time, since Akimichi Choza was seriously injured, Naruto was appointed a team leader.

Hatake Kakashi, Hyuga Hiashi, Might Guy, and Naruto would each lead 300 ninja in pursuit of the retreating enemy.

They weren't trying to wipe them all out—just make sure Kumogakure didn't retreat comfortably.

With more reinforcements arriving daily, Konoha could escalate even further.

Naruto wasn't surprised by the decision. He knew Tsunade well—she wasn't the type to pull punches.

With the Daimyo of the Land of Fire under control and no Root to worry about, she was free to act.

Hidden Cloud had been arrogant before—now it was time for payback.

Just then, the war room's door was thrown open.

A masked man in a black robe stepped in.

He was completely covered—only his right eye was visible.

The entire room froze. No one knew how he'd even entered the tightly guarded chamber.

"Who are you?" Tsunade's brow furrowed. She didn't act immediately—there was no telling what kind of power this intruder had.

"No need to worry, Hokage-sama."

The masked man swept the room with his eye, lingering briefly on Kakashi before settling on Naruto.

"I came to propose a partnership."

"Partnership?!"

"I can help you utterly destroy the Hidden Cloud Village. I only have one condition."

Everyone stared at him like he'd lost his mind. Utterly destroy Kumogakure?

How many lives would that cost?

If Kumogakure were pushed too far, would Konoha even survive the backlash?

The logical play was to extract concessions—maybe land or resources—and use that to strengthen Konoha further.

Total destruction? That was madness.

Everyone except Naruto scoffed. He waited silently.

Because he knew this man could do it.

Uchiha Obito—one of the final bosses.

That mad dog.

"No one's forcing you to accept," Obito said casually, unmoved by the scorn. "I only need Konoha's high-level fighters. Just lend me your Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. His Tailed Beast Ball would be enough."

A terrifying pressure radiated from Obito. Everyone's skin crawled.

He stood there calmly, yet his presence was suffocating.

"What's your condition?" Tsunade asked quietly.

"I want the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails from Hidden Cloud." Obito didn't mince words.

He didn't mention it aloud, but his real goal included Konoha's Nine-Tails as well.

Zetsu was too cautious. He only wanted one beast.

Obito wanted all three.

"Fine by me," Naruto stepped forward, smiling. "If Lady Tsunade approves, I'll go with you."

Let's see, fourth boss—how long can you last against a few Kage-levels?

Across the continent, carrier pigeons spread the outcome of the war.

In the desert southwest, Sunagakure's high command was stunned.

They had assumed Konoha was still weak from the Orochimaru and Danzo incidents. Sand Village, in even worse shape, had only one fighter worth mentioning—Granny Chiyo.

So when Konoha asked for help, they declined.

Helping Konoha would've been a waste, they thought. Even if Konoha held the line, Sand couldn't defend itself.

But the result?

Konoha didn't just win—it crushed.

Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, took on two top-tier opponents—injuring the Two-Tails and killing the Raikage.

Shockwaves rippled through the Sand's leadership.

"How can one kid be that strong? This is insane!"

"We're screwed. Konoha already held a grudge after last year."

"Now that we ignored their request for help—what if they cancel the alliance and attack us?"

"Enough!" Chiyo finally barked. "If I had just listened to Temari..."

She sighed, remembering how Temari had begged her to send reinforcements.

If she'd acted then, they could be Konoha's closest ally now.

Now it was too late.

In Iwagakure, the shock was no different.

The Tsuchikage, Onoki, sat in stunned silence.

They'd only heard reports of minor skirmishes.

Now... the Raikage was dead?

"That brat Naruto is younger than me—and he killed the Raikage?!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed, pacing the office with a newspaper.

"That makes him stronger than Deidara-niisan!"

Onoki winced. "Don't mention that traitor again!"

Deidara had been Iwagakure's genius. Naruto was Konoha's.

One left. One rose.

"Well it's not like I defected! Don't take it out on me just because I'm your granddaughter!" Kurotsuchi snapped, slamming her hands on the desk.

Onoki: "..."

My own granddaughter is a pain too.

How can Iwagakure ever compete with a monster like Uzumaki Naruto?

And finally, the Mist Village.

In the Mizukage's seat sat a seductive woman in a tight blue dress.

She stared at Naruto's picture in the newspaper for a long time, then licked her lips.

"Such a handsome boy... His features are perfect. I envy the Hokage—raising him and marrying him when he comes of age..."

"Someone I raised myself would be loyal and obedient..."

Her cheeks turned red. Her breathing grew heavy. She bit her lip and crossed her legs.

"Ugh... I can't think about this anymore."

"Ah, I'm so jealous."

"When will I find a man that hot to marry?"
