Konoha, I have the Herrscher of the End core in my body.

"The above are the details of this mission."

After Team 7 returned from the mission in Wave Country, Kakashi went to the Hokage Building to report immediately. Naruto and the other two disbanded on the spot and went home.

"It's Zabuza, at least he's back safely. Naruto, how's Sasuke?" After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage asked.

"You performed quite well. Even when facing Zabuza, you didn't show any fear." Kakashi said in a deep voice.

"What about other aspects?" the Third Hokage continued to ask.

"Everything is normal." Kakashi nodded. Kakashi naturally understood what the Third Hokage meant. Although there were some problems with Naruto and Sasuke, they were not big problems, just some small problems. After all, one of them was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who had been discriminated against since childhood, and the other had a hatred of genocide to avenge. If they were really like ordinary ninjas like Sakura, it would be a problem.

"I see. You've worked hard. Go back and have a rest."

"Yes."

"I'm back. I have to endure for a while." Naruto returned to the room and looked at the familiar room. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After cleaning the room a little, he lay down on the bed.

"What to eat tonight? Well, I don't need to think about this problem at all in the Land of Waves. Forget it, let's have Ichiraku Ramen." In the evening, considering his wallet, Naruto decided to eat Ichiraku Ramen.

"Take a rest today. You just came back and should have some things to deal with. Start the mission tomorrow." The next day, the three came to the usual gathering place. Kakashi was not late this time. After saying that they took a rest today and dismissed, his figure immediately turned into smoke and disappeared. This was just a shadow clone.

"Sasuke, it's a rare opportunity to take a break, why don't we..." Sakura wanted to ask Sasuke out as usual, but Sasuke didn't even wait for her to say anything. He said he was busy and left.

"See you tomorrow."

Naruto waved at Sakura and left. Unlike the previous Naruto who often quarreled with Sakura, Naruto now has a good relationship with Sakura.

"Have you contacted Kabuto Yakushi? Is Orochimaru taking action now?"

After leaving Sakura, Naruto immediately went to find Teacher Mizuki. It must be said that things were very interesting. The original Naruto had a close relationship with Iruka, but in his turn, he had a close relationship with Mizuki. Mizuki was even investigated and warned by the Anbu because of this.

The Konoha upper echelons had long been suspicious of who Mizuki was and what he had done. It was too suspicious that such a person was close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and was so nice to him. That was why they did not investigate any suspicious circumstances, otherwise someone would have stopped Mizuki from approaching Naruto long ago. After all, the Konoha upper echelons' suspicion of Mizuki was just a suspicion and they did not have any evidence, otherwise they would have arrested him long ago.

In this situation, Konoha couldn't take any measures against Mizuki. Even if the Third Hokage targeted those top ninjas who could threaten him, he would be much more tolerant of mediocre ninjas like Mizuki because they posed no threat to him at all.

Speaking of this, there is something even more ridiculous later. Mizuki, who had never been upgraded, was promoted to a rare position. Although he was still not as good as Iruka, it was already very good for Mizuki. Even the Third Hokage would occasionally summon him later.

This was what Mizuki wanted to achieve before when he tried so hard to get close to Iruka and make friends with him. He failed to do so at that time, but now he has achieved his goal by getting close to Naruto. Although Naruto's ability to dominate the Herrscher controlled Mizuki, it did not change his nature. In the eyes of the Third Hokage and others, Mizuki is still the original Mizuki, and he is just pretending to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in order to get close to the Third Hokage. So the Third Hokage did as he wished and let him continue to disguise himself.

From the look on his face, it seemed that he wanted to make the relationship between Naruto and Mizuki the same as the original relationship between Naruto and Iruka. After knowing this, Naruto couldn't help but burst out laughing.

However, Naruto is very much looking forward to this. He really wants to see the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face when he knows the truth. It must be very exciting.

"Speaking of which, this Yakushi Kabuto is really amazing. It seems that he has status in the five major countries. It's really hard for him to run back and forth between the five major countries."

Kabuto Yakushi, Naruto would naturally not forget this famous figure. He had seen him many times in Konoha's mission station. Kabuto Yakushi's team, including him, had a total of three Genin and one Chunin captain. It was one of the many teams in Konoha and was very inconspicuous.

"This is a very powerful person. We can recruit him, but it's just to revive one more person."

For Naruto, it was not a difficult task to recruit Kabuto Yakushi. He just had to resurrect the director of the orphanage, who was like a mother to him.

"Forget it, there's no rush for this. There's plenty of time. I'm only twelve years old now. As a Herrscher, I can live a long time as long as I don't get beaten to death."

Even the original Naruto only started to grow up when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. Then came the Fourth Ninja World War, which changed the landscape of the Ninja World. These three or four years were enough time for him to do a lot of things.

After the C-level mission from Wave Country came, Team 7 got back to its daily mundane tasks, such as collecting herbs, picking up trash, mowing the grass, catching thieves, and so on.

About two months passed like this, and on this day, Team 7 finally received its second C-level mission, a mission to wipe out bandits. Due to the chaos in the ninja world, there were countless bandits and robbers. It could be said that except for the headquarters of a few major ninja villages and the big cities of major countries, bandits and robbers could be seen basically everywhere else. The only difference was the number.

After two days of travel, Team 7 arrived at a village in the mountains. This was the village that encountered bandits. To be precise, several mountain villages around the mountain all encountered bandits, the same group of bandits. So several villages joined forces and went to Konoha to issue a mission.

"Kill someone?"

As soon as Naruto saw this mission, he understood its purpose. As a ninja, it is impossible not to see blood. The education in Konoha is already very relaxed. If it were other ninja villages, all the ninjas who have not graduated have seen blood.

"The target of this mission is a group of ordinary bandits who don't have much strength. My order is simple: don't leave any of them alive." Kakashi's face was unusually serious. It was rare that during this mission, he didn't take out the Intimate Paradise to look at it once.

"Teacher Kakashi, um." Sakura was about to speak, but was interrupted by Kakashi the next moment.

"Sakura, I know what you want to say. You should have learned what a ninja is in school. In this mission, you need to kill at least one bandit, otherwise you can leave Team 7 after you return."

"I see."

This time, Sakura didn't jump up when Kakashi asked her to leave Team 7. If it were any other time, she would have yelled at him if he asked her to leave Team 7 and leave Sasuke.

"Ten people."

Soon, Naruto and the other two arrived at a small mountain village, which was the base of the bandits. Naruto took the initiative to investigate. He walked up from the side of the mountain wall and found that there were a total of ten people inside.

"Leave one here, we'll take care of the others."

Naruto and Sasuke, taking action, quickly killed the other nine by throwing kunai shurikens, leaving the last one whose right leg was shot by Sasuke's kunai.

"Fortunately, there are no plots from the novels I read in my previous life. Maybe there are some in the assessment I am following."

These ten men were all young men, bandits who did all kinds of evil. They had no family or children to test the ninja's determination to take action. After all, they were only Genin, and it was impossible for them to face such a difficult problem right from the start.

Naruto had no hesitation in killing these bandits. The ninjas in the ninja world are actually soldiers in the army. It is not normal for soldiers to kill people when they are fighting against bandits. No one in any country would say that it is wrong for the army to kill people during combat.

"Sakura." Sasuke looked at Sakura with concern, which was rare. Naruto didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If it was something that tested her determination, Sakura would definitely not do it. But this time the target was a vicious bandit. Kakashi probably took this into consideration when choosing the mission, and Sakura finally took action.
