Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"Spirit Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!"

Rumble!

The three enormous gates that rose from the ground finally withstood the endless fireballs.

"I have to go..."

After Rashomon, Orochimaru pondered for a moment and immediately decided to retreat.

We definitely can't win in a fight, and staying behind is just waiting to die.

"My body... can't take it anymore."

Feeling the stinging pain coming from his meridian system, Naruto realized that the water flow was too strong and the pipes were about to burst.

However, it wasn't a big problem. The life energy stored in the Rinnegan entered his body, and all the discomfort disappeared immediately.

"These triple Rashomon gates... can't stop me!"

Naruto turned his gaze to the massive portal ahead and stretched out his hand, unleashing Shinra Tensei three times.

boom!

boom!

boom!

A tremendous sound shook the heavens and the earth; Rashomon shattered and vanished into fragments, revealing Orochimaru's figure before Naruto.

—Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Fireballs rained down from all directions, and Orochimaru let out a painful scream before quickly turning into ashes.

Ying walked over, looking puzzled, and asked, "Big bad guys... are they all this easy to die?"

Orochimaru is also a villain whom Naruto marked as a Kage to be wary of.

"He's not dead. Look closely, this is just a pile of dirt. The real Orochimaru..."

With his eyes closed, and using Kurama's powerful ability to sense good and evil, Naruto quickly located Orochimaru's position.

At the ten o'clock position, two kilometers away.

If we set off to chase after them now, it's not too late.

However, after hesitating for a few seconds, Naruto gave up the pursuit.

Given Orochimaru's near-immortal survival abilities, it's highly likely that even if he catches up, it will be useless and a complete waste of time.

"...That's how it is. Because of Danzo's persecution, we are unable to return to Konoha. Please take us in, sir."

Having died once, the mark of the severing of tongue calamity on Nono's tongue has disappeared.

She recounted what had happened to her, revealing one scandal after another about Danzo, and then, pulling Kabuto along, knelt before Naruto, begging him to take her in.

In fact, with her intelligence, she naturally knew that Naruto intended to recruit her and Kabuto, and faced with the recruitment of a strong person who could defeat Orochimaru, she and Kabuto had no right to refuse.

Since the outcome is predetermined, it's better to take the initiative to surrender and leave a good impression on the leader.

Naruto did not agree immediately, but instead diverted part of his consciousness into the sealed space.

"What are your thoughts after hearing this, Dad?"

After spending a long time together, Naruto can now naturally call out "Mom" and "Dad".

Seeing his eldest son's obvious schadenfreude, Minato felt a headache coming on.

The incident involving Nono and Kabuto had already happened, so there was no point in him having any feelings about it. Fortunately, it didn't turn into a tragedy in the end.

The important thing now is to educate our son, who is going further and further astray.

"There is darkness in Konoha, so Danzo deserves to die. As for the Third Hokage's dereliction of duty... I acknowledge all of that. But Naruto, you can't condemn the entire village just because it has flaws. The village also has its good points... Your teacher Iruka, your classmates Hinata and Sasuke, Ayame and Teuji from Ichiraku Ramen, they are all very good people..."

Minato's long and earnest speech, in essence, boils down to this:

If you think Konoha is bad, then work to improve it; if you think the Hokage is bad, then train hard to become the Hokage; if you think the people lack manners, then you can establish schools to educate them like the Second Hokage did, instead of thinking about doing things like undermining Konoha, defecting, or establishing a new country—things that are treasonous.

The place where you stand is your leaf; as you are, so are the leaf; if you are light, the leaf will not be dark...

"How long-winded..."

Naruto yawned boredly, and Kushina grabbed his ear.

"Listen carefully to what Daddy is saying!"

"Ah! Gently, gently, Mom, I know, I'm listening."

Naruto feigned pain and cried out.

"It didn't hurt that much. I knew how to control myself. I was just lying to my mom."

Despite saying that, Kushina's grip tightened considerably.

However, she still held Naruto's ear, her face hardening as she said, "How are we going to settle the score for you blocking Mom before?"

Naruto said seriously, "I think we should listen to what Dad has to say."

Minato stopped his long-winded explanation and said with a wry smile, "Fine, you have your own ideas, so I won't say anything more. Saying too much will only annoy you."

Goodness, your backstab came just in time.

Naruto said seriously, "It's annoying if you don't tell me now."

"You're not allowed to hate Daddy!"

Kushina's eyebrows shot up, and she gripped Naruto's ear tightly.

"It's falling off, it's falling off... my ear is going to fall off..."

Naruto roared.

…………

Outside, Naruto didn't refuse much and nodded in agreement to take in Nonou and Kabuto.

Just as the two were about to express their gratitude, Naruto suddenly said to Kabuto, "Your brain has been tampered with, it seems to be the work of the Sand Village."

Nono's expression changed. Kabuto was an orphan she had adopted during the battle between Konoha and Sunagakure. Could it be...?

"Dean, I...I don't know what happened."

Kabuto looked at Nonou in a panic, seemingly worried that Nonou would abandon him.

Nonou placed her hands on Kabuto's shoulders, looked at him, and said gently, "I believe in Kabuto. Whoever Kabuto is, he is my child."

"Dean..."

Dou quieted down and quickly realized what he needed to do next.

"Please help me eliminate this hidden danger."

"Sure, but you'll have to die first."

The technique of manipulating sand with the mind, a secret technique of the Red Sand Scorpion controlling the helmet, can pierce the memory center of a person's brain with extremely small needles, thereby sealing the object's memory.

Theoretically speaking, the God Emperor who governs life can dispel the Mind Control Sand Technique.

However, because living people possess individual consciousness, the God Emperor's Spirit cannot control the bodies of anyone other than Naruto himself.

To remove the Mind Control Sand Technique from Kabuto's head, Kabuto must first die and become a corpse.

The Human Path extracts Kabuto's soul, the God Emperor generates spirits to control Kabuto's body, and the Hell Path resurrects Kabuto.

The whole process left Kushina and Minato, who were inside the sealed space, completely amazed.

Their son... was ridiculously powerful, he could even resurrect the dead!

.........

In the distance, Nonoyu soothed her slightly tangled head.

Kage glanced at the mother and son, then turned to Naruto, asking in confusion, "Why did you make them follow me?"

She felt that she was fine on her own.

"Nonou is a medical ninja; she can help if you get injured."

Naruto's explanation... Kage disagrees.

"I won't get hurt, and even if I do, you're still here, aren't you?"

The life energy gathered by the Rinnegan is far more effective than medical ninjutsu.

Naruto shook his head and said, "But I can't be by your side all the time."
