In Konoha, This Naruto Has Decided To Take It Easy

That night, at least three women in Kumogakure found themselves unable to sleep because of Naruto.

Yugito tossed and turned in turmoil, unable to make up her mind. The highest peak of Kumogakure, the so-called Giant Snow Queen, Samui, was grinding her teeth in frustration, punching her bed in complete mental breakdown.

As the saying goes, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and when the person is too shameless, he will have no weaknesses.

And as for the third person… Mabui found herself in the sealed space, utterly confused. She realized that her Space-Time Ninjutsu was completely ineffective.

Then, she was tied up by Naruto with a grin on his face, in the traditional tortoise shell binding.

A familiar place. A familiar position. Still the traditional style, still the same person, looking at the dark-skinned and white-haired Mabui with a sly smile on his face.

His gaze trailed down from her striking white hair to her black stockings, and he even reached out and gave her a squeeze.

"Who are you? Why are you in the Raikage Building?" Mabui's face was cold, but she remained relatively composed as she stared at Naruto.

"Why do you all keep asking this question? I've said it a hundred times already… Sasuke, Sasuke." Naruto spread his hands and said with a chuckle.

"Sasuke? What Sasuke?" She frowned, then suddenly put the pieces together, and her expression changed drastically, "Uchiha Sasuke? You're lying, you damn blondie!"

"Tsk." Naruto wasn't particularly bothered about being exposed. He rubbed his hands, smiled and walked towards Mabui who had no ability to resist.

"What are you going to do?" When Mabui saw him rubbing his hands together, she thought he was going to do something. Suddenly, her face changed again, "You!! Why are you taking off your pants?!"

"Just a little… conversation. Nothing to worry about." Naruto approached step by step, with a look of recklessness on his face, "Now, you have two choices. Either become a follower of Jashin…"

"Or…"

"I PICK THE FIRST ONE!!! THE FIRST ONE!!!" Mabui didn't even hesitate. She was so terrified that she felt like her soul was about to leave her body.

"…Are you sure?" Naruto was stunned.

Originally, he just wanted to scare her. Sure, he wanted her, but he wasn't one to force things. As long as he wanted to, he could always have various options.

But who knew that Mabui, who seemed so difficult, would surrender so quickly?

However, this did save trouble to him. After all, having an traitor in the form of a Jashin's follower not only pushed the progress of Mission Line III forward. More importantly, it officially solidified the iron traitor triangle of Kumogakure.

With a ding sound, the system's mechanical synthesized voice rang out.

[Mabuyi]

[Kumogakure - Jonin - Female - 27 years old]

[Jashin's Follower – Controllable. (Options Hidden)]

[Talent: Space-Time Ninjutsu]

[Evaluation: A gentle and stunning dark-skinned, white-haired secretary.]

At the same time, the progress bar for Mission Line III finally reached the halfway mark.

So far, Naruto already had five Jashin's followers under his command.

One was a summoning girl he randomly picked up from Amegakure, another was a Genjutsu girl from Konoha, while the remaining three were all forcibly snatched from Kumogakure, completing his personal collection of Kumogakure's Three Beauties.

Five more slots remained open, eagerly awaiting new recruits to join this ever-growing family of traitors. Once Mission Line III was complete, the rewards would finally be distributed.

Naruto has been thinking about the reward for Mission Line III for a long time. Even though Tsunade had already forgiven him for his unintentional mistake with the Ryumyaku, to him, the matter was far from over.

The whole thing can't be said to be a mistake, and it felt more like destiny playing out its course.

If not for his bond with Tsunade, he wouldn't have traveled through time and gotten involved with her in the first place.

But if he hadn't done that, perhaps Tsunade wouldn't have treated him so well in the present time.

In short, it had was a paradox, an inescapable loop. Everything felt preordained, like the butterfly effect shaping the future in inevitable ways.

But what's done is done, and Tsunade didn't dwell on it. Despite her usual domineering nature, she was surprisingly open-minded about these things.

Perhaps she didn't care, but just sighed that life is unpredictable and put the matter aside as she moved on.

In this regard, Naruto knew that mere apologies wouldn't suffice. Words were empty, so he either had to let it go or find a way to make it right.

There were a lot of thoughts in Naruto's mind, but in an instant, they were all suppressed.

Mabui, who was hanging by the bindings, suddenly sensed the presence of a contract and became even more terrified.

While struggling, she stared at Naruto and shouted, "What did you do to me?"

"I didn't do much, just made a small change." As he said this, he glanced at Mabui again, and an amused smile appeared on his face.

Mabui and Samui had almost the same experience. They started with anxiety, escalating into terror, then boiling into fury and finally sinking into an even deeper unease.

When everything was said and done, Naruto didn't bother returning Mabui to the Raikage Building, but just dumped her somewhere random and let her go.

Anyway, Mabui had become a traitor and she could no longer betray the yellow-haired master.

"What on earth did you do to me?" Mabui crouched in the corner with a look of despair on her face. Her chastity was intact, but she knew her limits had been thoroughly breached.

She, the proud elite secretary of the Fourth Raikage, had been forced into betraying her village. And not just that, as she didn't even have the option of dying to escape.

'A follower of Jashin?'

'Damn it! How could something so cursed even exist?'

Mabui never even had a real choice. Faced with such a horrifying thing, self-preservation had been her only instinct.

She had intended to stall for time, anyway, whether it is Ninjutsu or Sealing Technique, it always takes some time to prepare.

But she had severely underestimated just how twisted this situation was.

Mabui was completely numb now. She had managed to protect her body, but the circumstances were far worse than she ever expected.

As for the bastard responsible for this, he looked completely at ease. With hands in his pockets, he said casually, "Clean yourself up. I'm heading out. Oh, and remember to keep this a secret from the Raikage."

'Secret, my ass!'

At this moment, Mabui was full of shame and anger. She didn't even know what he had done to her, but she physically couldn't reveal anything about him to anyone.

She wanted to spill everything, but she simply wasn't able to.

Naruto whistled as he walked away. Although he hadn't gotten the 'full experience', but the sheer satisfaction was more than enough.

'I wonder what would the Raikage think when he realized his inner circle was filled with traitors?'

Now that the preparations are almost done, it's finally time for Yugito to officially return to Kumogakure… not as a fugitive, but as a hero.

Previously, that would have been nearly impossible.

But now that Samui and Mabui have become traitors, the public opinion on the Raikage's side is completely controlled by Naruto.

No matter how tyrannical Yondaime Raikage is, he would at least take Samui and Mabui's opinions into consideration.

After all, they were half of Kumogakure's think tank, so the opinions they put forward carried significant weight.

Or at least, they used to…

But now... Think tank? No, they should be a group of traitors. The three of them were fully molded in Naruto's image, and their spirits of betrayers are getting restless, ready to backstab the Raikage at a moment's notice.
