Naruto: The New Beginning

17. Hidden detonation seals

In the days that followed, Naruto would tell Kurama the stories of his previous life. Unconsciously, the relationship between the fox and him grew much closer.

At least Naruto refrained from hitting the iron gate in front of him. He didn't beat it.

Of course, he also finished telling the story of the original Naruto to Minato and Kushina, during which their reactions ranged from shock and sadness to anger.

As for what action Minato would take after learning this information, Naruto didn't know. Judging solely from Kushina's reaction, she couldn't wait to catch Obito and hang him.

After the beating, she might consider showing sympathy and forgiveness, or not.

Unfortunately, when she thought about it, she knew that the child must be hiding very well. Even the Akatsuki organization had not yet reached that level in the story.

For instance, Itachi was still a child, and he heard that he was preparing for the Chunin exams.

The Great Shark was still in the Mist Village.

Deidara was a student of the Third Tsuchikage. Despite Deidara often annoying his sensei, Ōnoki was still proud of him.

He was a member of the Explosion Corps and possessed the Explosion Release kekkei genkai.

In the end, Minato solemnly instructed Naruto not to discuss these matters with anyone again, promising to do his utmost to eliminate the danger and prevent Konoha from facing the kind of catastrophic crisis depicted in the story.

The most pressing task at the moment was to remove the hidden detonation seals within Konoha Village.

Genno was originally a ninja from the Land of Mountains, Kagero Village, More than twenty years ago, he was ordered to infiltrate Konoha disguised as a craftsman.

During the village's construction, he concealed detonation seals in every corner of Konoha, with all the seals interconnected like a vast net, capable of blowing up the entire village.

The original plan was to detonate them during a war between the two villages, but Konoha preemptively seized Kagero Village's territory.

After peace negotiations between the two villages, Genno never received orders to proceed.

Subsequently, Kagero Village disappeared, and no one could give him orders. Thus, these detonation seals remained hidden in place.

However, Naruto had always thought this situation was absurd. How could so many people, especially ninjas with enhanced sensory talents, be unaware of these seals despite years of training?

How come the ninja dogs introduced into the village by dog breeders never spotted them?

Perhaps it was the will of the universe (Author) that kept them hidden...

But now that Minato knows about them, there was no need to worry. He could simply call on ninjas to search and dismantle them.

This time, maybe Naruto could make a small profit. Detonation seals scattered throughout the village were quite valuable.

The explosion seal situation was handled with remarkable ease, and Konoha narrowly avoided another calamity.

Naruto didn't participate in this matter and continued to carry out his training tasks day by day. Each day, when he sparred with Kimimaro, he found himself struggling and could only occasionally take out his frustration on Sasuke.

This routine continued until the end of the year. Naruto's suggestion to hold a New Year's festival eventually turned into a celebration of Konoha's unique traditions.
