"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about. No one in Kusagakure can hurt me."
Naruto patted Kana's hand away, smiling faintly. "You two just watch here. I'll make them pay for what they did. And you, just relax and wait to help me rebuild the Uzumaki Clan."
"Huh?" Kana understood almost instantly, her face flushing red.
But, it didn't seem so bad.
Great ninja clans in the ninja world, to ensure their bloodline didn't mix with others, basically married within the clan.
Everyone basically had all sorts of relationships, so there were naturally fewer concerns.
Kana just hadn't expected that, after going through so much, she would also be accepted.
"Mom, what does Naruto-sama mean?" Karin blinked, puzzled. "What does he need us to do?"
Kana patted her head, her voice gentle. "You're still young, so I'll have to handle it for now. If you want to help sooner, then grow up, okay?"
Thinking about the future, when she and Karin would likely be together, Kana's face flushed slightly.
Moreover, Naruto was her sister's child, which made it even more… stimulating.
Everything, for the family!
Naruto confirmed there was no danger for them here, but he still left a shadow clone.
His main body flickered, quickly arriving at a high point in Kusagakure.
It's a shame I haven't learned Rasenshuriken yet, otherwise I could be carrying the big bags of rice around here.
Looking at the more modern buildings surrounding him compared to Konoha, Naruto sighed inwardly.
Then, he called out to Kurama inside him, "Kurama, lend me your Tailed Beast Ball. I'm going to blow up Kusagakure Hospital!"
"Hmph, are you getting revenge for that woman?" Kurama sneered, taking control of Naruto's body.
"Yeah!" Naruto replied, "This is where they imprisoned their spirits. Only by completely destroying it can we help them gain a free life."
Kana's resurrection didn't mean she wouldn't have psychological scars from the past.
Only by turning this place, which created the shadow in her mind, to dust could he truly help Kana say goodbye to her past.
At this moment, Naruto suddenly understood why Luffy was so determined to destroy Arlong's room where he made Nami draw maps.
Tailed Beast Ball!
Kurama, using Naruto's body, activated Chakra Mode and condensed an extra-large Tailed Beast Ball, aiming it towards Kusagakure Hospital.
Naruto hadn't been traveling through time for very long, so he hadn't yet grasped the technique for using the Tailed Beast Ball.
However, he didn't need to learn it deliberately.
As long as Kurama used it a few more times, his body would naturally remember the feeling, and he could use it himself later on.
BOOM!
The Tailed Beast Ball slammed into Kusagakure Hospital, unleashing a massive explosion of energy.
Kusagakure's reaction was truly slow, even though the Tailed Beast Ball had only taken a few seconds to form.
But the immense energy and aura had already spread outwards.
But until the Tailed Beast Ball erupted, not a single person had noticed anything beforehand.
Even if they reacted slowly, they should know that the enemy was attacking by now.
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
"The hospital is gone! What kind of enemy have we provoked?"
"Is… is this power something humans can wield?"
"A natural disaster? Or have the Five Great Nations attacked?"
Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded, their eyes filled with despair.
The ordinary people had long since been crying and running around in panic.
A beam of red light shot into the sky, and a huge mass of energy enveloped the area where the hospital once stood.
The energy swirled relentlessly. Not only was the survival of anyone inside the hospital in doubt, but anyone even remotely close was in danger of being caught up in it.
On a hilltop outside Kusagakure, Kana, who had witnessed the scene from afar, was already in tears. She covered her mouth with her hand to stifle any sobs.
She knew Naruto was taking revenge for her, and also helping her to say goodbye to the past.
Karin, on the other hand, didn't feel as strongly, as she hadn't suffered there herself.
However, upon seeing the hospital destroyed, she still felt a sense of exhilaration, waving her small fists with excitement.
The Tailed Beast Ball energy mass lasted for a full dozen seconds. When it gradually dispersed, the entire hospital had been reduced to ruins.
No, it wasn't even ruins.
There was only a huge, circular pit there, with a few scattered remnants of walls buried inside.
But those people from the hospital before, not even a trace of their bones could be found.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
At this moment, dozens of figures finally appeared around Naruto, who was standing high above.
"Are you the one who attacked the village?"
The leading middle-aged man glared at Naruto with hatred, and said, "I am Wada. I swear on the name of the leader of Kusagakure, I will leave you here today, no matter what!"
Beside him were elite ninjas from Kusagakure, all of them. Over a dozen were Jonin, and the rest were Chunin. Most of the Chunin-level ninjas were Anbu wearing masks.
"Is this all of Kusagakure's foundation?" Naruto, still wearing a mask, glanced at them casually, feeling somewhat disdainful.
Although he hadn't been training for long, Naruto possessed Minato's combat experience, coupled with Golden Body Mode. No Kage-level opponent could even touch him.
A mere dozen or so Jonin from a small hidden village were nothing but chickens and dogs.
As for Chunin? They didn't even have the right to dance!
Feeling Naruto's disdainful attitude, the leader, Wada, felt his heart sink, realizing that the enemy before him was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
However, even so, as the leader of Kusagakure, he would never back down when an enemy attacked.
"Even the smallest ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them."
Wada said in a low voice, "You can look down on our strength, but we will also let you know that even if we sacrifice everyone's lives, we'll make you lose a layer of skin. This is our Will of the Grass and the resolve of a Kusagakure ninja!"
"But before we start, there's something I need to ask first. Who exactly are you? And why do you have a problem with Kusagakure?"
Will of the Grass, huh?
Naruto couldn't help but sneer. How boring.
Look at the Will of Fire and the Will of Stone, so grand and impressive. And here, all you get is sacrificing everyone's lives just to scrape off a layer of skin from the enemy.
Is this the tragedy of the small fry? Simply laughable!
"Well, if you really want to know why, you can say it was a whim, or perhaps it was planned long ago."
Naruto shrugged, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Regardless, the weak have no say!"
Naruto's words caused all the elite ninja of Kusagakure to erupt in anger. Even if their village couldn't compare to the Five Great Nations' hidden villages, they had still been around since ancient times. Even the Five Great Nations hadn't looked down on them so casually.
This masked person in front of them, who didn't seem very old, had a big mouth.
"Wait… wait a minute, Leader!"
A tall, burly Kusagakure ninja, dragging his heavily injured body, ran over and urgently said, "He… he came for that pair of red-haired mother and daughter!"
