"For now, he won't involve himself or Root, only watch until it's time," Danzo decided, his voice echoing ominously in the quiet room.
You will learn to serve for Konoha's interests, Naruto Uzumaki.

[ Konoha Hospital ]
Outside the emergency room, Naruto, Hinata, and Tenten sat in tense silence, their bodies rigid with anxiety. The medical ninjas inside were tending to Mr. Higurashi, leaving the trio to grapple with their worries in the stark, sterile hallway. Naruto's legs bounced nervously, Hinata's hands were folded tightly in her lap, and Tenten's eyes, usually so sharp and clear, were clouded with fear.
The door to the ER swung open, and the medical ninja emerged, removing his mask with a somber expression. The trio immediately stood, their bodies tense, as they braced for news.
"I have good news and bad news," the medic announced, his voice steady.
"Bad news," the trio responded in unison, their voices a low chorus of dread.
"The bad news," the medical ninja began, his tone clinical, "is that Mr. Higurashi is in a coma due to severe chakra depletion. It appears he was using an unsustainable amount of chakra, which has led to significant breakdown in his body functions. Specifically, his brain has suffered extensive damage because it was deprived of the necessary chakra to function properly. This has triggered the coma state, and his prognosis is uncertain at this stage."
Tenten's face crumpled at the explanation, her composure shattering like glass. She sank to the floor, her shoulders shaking as sobs wracked her body. Hinata immediately knelt beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders in a gentle embrace, murmuring words of comfort. Her own eyes were moist with tears, but she pushed her feelings aside to support her friend.
"What's the good news?" Naruto asked, his voice hoarse, as he tried to cling to any shred of hope.
"We can keep Mr. Higurashi alive," the medic replied. "But restoring him to his normal state is beyond our current capabilities. Unless you can bring Tsunade-sama back, or a miracle happens, our options are limited."
Naruto's fists clenched at his sides, his nails digging into his palms as he absorbed the gravity of the situation.

Author Note:
Honestly, this chapter was one of my favorites to write.
1- System:
What do you guys think the story behind this part of the fanfic is? The system is so powerful, so what does it want with Naruto? Can you take a guess?
....
2- Hinata and Tenten:
I want Naruto's character to not rely too much on external aids; rather, I want him to be self-sufficient. Like how in the first Naruto vs. Sasuke fight, Naruto realized he was using the Uzumaki clan as his crutch, now I want him to realize the same about the system. Unlike the Uzumaki clan Taijutsu system, the system has done so much for Naruto that him becoming self-reliant will have to be influenced by Tenten and Hinata.
....
3- Fu's Gone, Whoop, Whoop:
One of Danzo's top men died, but we lost the insanely powerful Necronomicon. I was actually surprised that only one of you readers chose the necromancer class to be Naruto's second class, especially given how popular the whole necromancer class is due to "Solo Leveling."
....
4- The Fights:
Oh, I loved thinking about them so much, especially Naruto's Sherlock Holmes-level detective work as he instantly figured out Fu and Torune and immediately made a foolproof plan to kill them. This is what I love about Naruto's fights—they are so technical. Fu and Torune had no clue about party teleport, part chat, rune of telekinesis, Zephyr's Arrow, and the Necronomicon, and because of their ignorance, they met their demise—well, Fu died, and Torune lived.
....
5- f*ck Danzo:
Now he has Hiruzen investigating him, Dragon resisting him, and Naruto hunting him. Danzo doesn't even know how royally screwed he is. Especially since Naruto, bloodlusted and with ANBU training, is going to grow so fast it will make Itachi look like a talentless civilian. Neither Danzo, Dragon, nor Hiruzen even remotely realize how broken Naruto is due to the system. Naruto at the academy was insane just by getting help from a Genin. Think of how strong Naruto will get under ANBU teachers. What jutsu do you want Naruto to learn as an ANBU? I mean jutsus that do stuff, i.e., substitution, transformation, etc.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement with my work. Have a blessed rest of the day, and I look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments!
