"Congratulations on becoming the newest member of Konoha's ninja. That was your wish, was it not? Now, come here." Chuckling, Danzo ordered Naruto.

The seal on Naruto's forehead glowed faintly before seeping into his skin, as he started to walk toward Danzo.

"Good. Good. Now, kneel before your new master!!" With happiness bubbling in his voice, Danzo commanded.

'My dream of the past ten years is finally here. If only that stupid monkey hadn't announced to the whole upper echelon of the village his stance on not sending Naruto to ROOT, this would have happened so much sooner.' Danzo thought as he saw the boy kneeling in front of him obediently.

"Excellent. Now, slowly, I will break that little mind of yours, and step by step, I will make your entire soul loyal to me, and only me."

"Weren't you targeted by the whole village, persecuted for a crime you did not commit, something you don't even have an idea about? Well, worry no more, because I am not like those narrow-minded people. I know your true worth and skill. And I am the only one who sees you for who you are. I will give you whatever you want. If you want the strength to get back on those that made your life hell, I can give you that. If you want powerful jutsus to reach the top of the world, I can give you that. Because remember, only I see you for what you truly are. You are Naruto Uzumaki!!" Loosening the mental block on Naruto slightly, Danzo started his psychological monologue in an attempt to chip away at the boy's psyche, which he felt working, considering the slight change in emotion he detected through the seal.

This continued for another hour, as tears welled in the paralyzed boy, who kneeled on the forest floor, and Danzo stood proudly, taking pleasure in indoctrinating another innocent boy to root.

"From now on. You will no longer be Naruto Uzumaki. You will be called Kitsune. Open your mouth, Kitsune." Danzo commanded the broken boy, who opened his mouth wide, showing his pearly whites and a pink tongue.

"Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal" with a slew of hand seals, Danzo touched the boy's tongue as a black ink rolled ahead, forming the seal on the tongue.

The seal formed on the boy's tongue, which caused the paralyzed boy immense pain, as a sizzling sound came from the mouth, before, the pain became too intense, knocking him out.

"Even if you are the nine tail's jinchuriki, you are still barely at a genin level. Knocked out by this simple seal. Well, we will just have to fix that, don't we." With that, Danzo bent down, and in his non-bound hand, picked up the downed boy, before starting to walk away.

While all this was happening, a pair of eyes witnessed everything, with a small smirk on his face.

"All according to keikaku.

Seal Clone, activate." Was all the figure in the shadows said, before the boy in Danzo's arms instantly melted into black ink and latched itself onto the mummy.

"WHAT???" in confusion, the man tried to throw the boy away, and not get any sealing ink on him, but it was all for naught, as immediately, a vast sealing array manifested on the man, completely restricting the man's movement.

'What is happening. I can't move my body. Not even my chakra. I can't even feel my body, not even those sharing implants are working. Who deployed this seal? What even is this? And what happened to the boy?' these thoughts ran around in Danzo's head as he tried everything to get out of the seal, panic setting in as darkness started to cover his senses.

Within just a few moments, the sealing ink pattern completely covered the man, before seeping into his skin, and coating the entirety of his being from the inside out.

Seeping into his brain, the ink prevented electrical signals from being conducted, seeping into his charka coils, the ink prevented the use of chakra, and seeping into the foreign cells on his body, stopped the usage of the Sharingan implants.

"Yahoooooo. We did it. We caught the mummy!!!!!" After confirming that the coast was clear and that the person stuck in the seal was really Danzo (Hiroki confirmed it via the Library of Heaven's Path), Naruto jumped in joy.

"Man, so much suffering this guy has caused. Finally, it can all come to an end." Naruto walked up to the stupefied mummy cautiously with a sword in hand, before accurately swinging it down.

Thump.

With a wet thump, an arm fell from Danzo's body, before it was quickly sealed inside a scroll, as Naruto swung his sword, dissecting the man with microscopic precision.

Soon, several body parts were strewn across the forest floor, surprisingly, not a single drop of blood escaped from the swift cuts, a result of the special seal applied on the man's body.

"Finally, the man named Danzo Shimura is no more." Naruto sighed in relief after sealing the different parts of the body into separate scrolls. As he did so, Naruto sensed someone approaching his location quickly.

"Naruto!!!!"

Danzo's plan was to weaken Naruto's mind, and with the seal that Orochimaru provided Danzo with, was supposed to cause complete loss of connection between Naruto and Kurama, but as we just saw, it all failed.

Danzo then tried to indoctrinate the boy using basic psychological tactics that wore down the 'already weakened' mind of Naruto, effectively breaking him mentally.

Also, since I am no doctor of the mind, I made it so that this process was hastened through the use of the seals.

PS: arent seals like total cheating. They are basically commands that change reality however you want them to. You just have to know how to read and write those commands. No wonder the Uzumaki were so feared.
