Naruto tapped his fingers on the desk twice.
"If there are Rogue Shinobi causing trouble, then Konoha has the right to intervene. The Intelligence Department is also part of Konoha, and its members are also Shinobi."
"What do you mean?" She asked.
Ino was a little confused. It was the nobles who were clearly hindering the implementation of the project, demanding outrageous benefits for nothing. But somehow, it became a problem of Missing-nin causing trouble.
"What I mean is…" Naruto stood up, picked up a document from the table and began writing, "That fat noble who made trouble today should be just a small fry, but he instigated Shinobi to cause chaos."
"If the nobles are abusing their power to oppress people, that’s beyond our control. The Land of Fire has always been like this. But if they’re directing Shinobi to cause disturbances, that’s a serious offense."
"I got his confession. He admitted that there was someone behind the scenes directing him. The one who can direct the nobles must be a noble. So, who do you think is behind this?"
"The great noble, Enwa?" Ino didn't even need to think. She had seen that fat noble in the estate before, and he was one of Enwa’s people. The answer was obvious.
"But what does that do for us?" She asked. "Are we supposed to just march up to him with the confession? If he denies it, it’s useless."
"Yeah. That’s why we’ll go ask him directly." Naruto stood up, took out the seal of the Uzumaki Clan’s Clan Head and stamped it heavily on the document, "This is a search warrant."
"Are you serious?" Ino was stunned.
"Do I look like I’m joking?" Naruto pulled out another high-level official seal and stamped it heavily, "We are Shinobi, and Shinobi should solve problems in a Shinobi way."
"If we keep trying to outmaneuver them politically, we’ll just be running in circles. It’s not easy to beat them in their own field."
“The best way is to drag them onto our battlefield and solve the problem by our rules.”
"That makes sense, but they’re nobles." Ino clicked her tongue, feeling overwhelmed, "Didn’t you tell me not to act impulsively?"
"Ino, why do you think Konoha exists?" He waved the document stamped with two seals.
"…War. For the sake of peace, Shodaime Hokage-sama created the Shinobi Village to end the conflicts between clans and bring stability to the Shinobi World." Ino replied.
"That’s the textbook answer. Do you know how Tsunade-sama puts it?" He suddenly chuckled and thought of a fat sheep who was traveling around the world.
"No."
"Shodaime Hokage established the Shinobi Village because no one could beat him. The Senju Clan is the strongest clan in the Shinobi World. As for why he left behind the nobles, it was because Shodaime only wanted peace and didn't want to waste time governing the Land of Fire."
As he spoke, he suddenly chuckled again.
"The Shinobi World has never been stable. Even someone as powerful as Shodaime could only focus on one thing at a time. So, no matter how much authority the nobles have, it doesn’t matter."
"Konoha exists to remind those silver-spooned nobles that while they may hold power, if they die, their power doesn’t die with them."
"The sword is always hanging over their heads."
As he spoke, he handed the simply written search warrant to Ino and looked at her with a smile.
"Let's go."
"Go where?" Ino took the search warrant.
"Go seek justice for you. The current Konoha exists because Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage fought for it. Those nobles have probably forgotten what justice looks like."
With that said, Naruto pushed open the office door.
"Yamafuji, Matsuri, come here for a second."
"Senpai? What's the matter?" The two of them looked confused as they walked over.
By this time, Ino had already caught up, following behind Naruto with complicated emotions. She still felt a little dazed, but deep down, she instinctively believed he was right… because this was what Tsunade had said.
‘Perhaps only Tsunade-sama understood what Shodaime-sama and Nidaime-sama are thinking.’
"We might have to handle something outside the office for a bit. You two are free, right?" Naruto asked. "It might take some time, so come with us."
"I'm free." Yamafuji nodded.
"Me too." Matsuri agreed, unsure of what else to say.
The scene of Naruto beating the noble with his bare hands had left an unforgettable impression on her young mind. Looking at the calm, gentle-looking man before her, Matsuri found it hard to associate him with the wild brute from earlier.
"Alright, now that everyone’s here, let’s go.” Naruto looked at Ino.
…
On the way.
"Uh, where are we going, Senpai?" Yamafuji felt a little uneasy.
He originally thought that they were just going out to do some minor errand, but the route they were taking looked more and more familiar. Matsuri, who was also with them, was even more shocked, realizing…
"We’re going to have a little chat with Enwa-sama and get your team leader the justice she deserves." Naruto said lightly, grabbing Ino's hand.
"Your team leader has been wronged by the noble, Enwa. Isn’t that just bullying honest people? We have to go and ask for an explanation, don’t we?"
"Uh… y-yeah…" Yamafuji stammered, realizing he had just gotten himself tangled in something huge.
"Are we just going to walk in like this?" Matsuri stopped and looked up at the estate with huge gates, "Shouldn’t we send in a formal notice or something first?"
"If you have a search warrant, then that shouldn't be necessary." Naruto flicked the document in his hand and said cheerfully, "Give me a moment. I'll open the door first."
He said open the door, not knock.
Boom!
At the main street of Land of Fire’s capital, the huge gate of Enwa’s noble estate was sent flying with a single kick. The entire gatehouse, along with half the surrounding wall, collapsed with a thunderous crash.
The deafening noise instantly alerted those inside. In a flurry of movement, numerous Shinobi and Samurai rushed out, some brandishing swords, others flickering into position.
"What's going on?"
"Who! Who is so bold as to attack Enwa-sama’s residence?"
"Damn bastard! Who are you?"
As the dust settled, Naruto found himself surrounded in a semi-circle formation. He took out the search warrant calmly, looked around with a smile, and read it aloud, "According to the testimony of the noble, Harayama, the noble Enwa is accused of orchestrating Shinobi disturbances with the intent to ambush Konoha’s Intelligence Department’s operatives. This search warrant is approved by Konoha’s high-level officials. The evidence is conclusive, and effective immediately..."
"What nonsense are you chanting! Kill him!" A Samurai shouted.
"Damn fool! This guy’s insane!"
This time, Naruto did not do it himself. He just snapped his fingers, and with rustling sounds, more than a dozen coffins rose from the ground. With several dull thuds, the lids fell away, and resurrected bodies emerged.
This is the noble estates of the Land of Fire’s capital, so the corpses that can be summoned with Impure World Reincarnation within this range were not very powerful when they were alive, but they were enough to stall these Samurai and Shinobi.
As the resurrected corpses clashed with the Samurai and Shinobi, Naruto found himself free to move. He turned back to the three behind him, waved, and said, "Don't be afraid, this is just a Genjutsu."
"Let's go inside and take a look."
