When Naruto returned home, Kurenai Yuhi noticed a huge bag on his back.
"…What's this?"
She asked with some curiosity.
Naruto didn't answer, but instead waved to her.
"Let's go."
"Go where?"
"Moving."
...Ten minutes later.
The two arrived in front of a slightly desolate mansion.
Looking at the plaque carved in front of the courtyard gate, Kurenai Yuhi was a little surprised.
Minato Namikaze & Uzumaki Kushina.
This was the former residence of the Fourth Hokage.
It was also where Naruto should have lived.
Naruto took out a key and opened the courtyard gate.
What greeted them was an elegantly decorated Japanese garden.
"You can find any empty room to stay in for now."
Naruto said to Kurenai, "Tomorrow, I'll find someone to clean it."
"Why did we move here?"
Kurenai rubbed her neck and asked curiously.
As Kakashi's classmate, she knew some of the dark secrets of Konoha.
Ever since Lord Fourth Hokage and Kushinapassed away, various Ninja clans and forces had been eyeing his assets and the vast industries of the Uzumaki Clan.
Later, the Sandaime, overcoming all objections, used the slogan "temporarily safeguarding for Naruto" to transfer all these assets to the SarutobiClan's name.
This temporarily dispelled the covetousness of other forces.
"That old geezer Sarutobi had a rare moment of conscience," Naruto explained casually. "He babbled a lot, then gave me a bunch of money, property deeds, scrolls..."
Of course, it was also possible that the strength he displayed today had scared Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He was afraid that an important chess piece, a Jonin-level Ninja at just over ten years old, and also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, might stand against Konoha.
That's why he quickly spent money to win people's hearts... although this money was originally his parents' inheritance.
"He also asked me if I wanted to be Hokage, saying that if I was willing, he could train me as his successor."
"Oh?" Kurenai wasn't too surprised. After all, with Naruto's current strength and potential, he indeed had the qualifications to become Hokage.
As early as when Minato Namikaze showed his extraordinary talent, the Sandaime had intentionally cultivated him to take his place.
From this perspective, the Sandaime was indeed a leader who valued talent and wasn't greedy for power.
Although saying such words inevitably carried a hint of predetermination, who could argue when he was the Hokage-sama?
"What was your answer?" Kurenai Yuhi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I told him that in the future, I would unite all countries, and then there would be no distinction between Hokage, Mizukage, or Kazekage. There would only be one Kage in the whole world, and that would be me."
Kurenai: "...And then?"
"Then the old man fell silent."
Naruto stretched, walked into the tallest three-story building in the mansion.
"Alright, I'm staying here. You find a place for yourself. It's quite empty anyway. Good night."
"Good night."
The two exchanged good nights, and Naruto went upstairs.
This was where Minato and Kushina once lived.
Most of the furnishings and items in the house had been cleared out, leaving no trace of their past life, only some simple furniture.
After a simple cleanup, Naruto began to sort through the relics his parents had left him.
First, there was money.
Hiruzen had been quite conscientious about this, depositing all of Minato and Kushina's documented assets into a fixed-interest bank account.
After more than ten years of compound interest, it had now reached a terrifying scale of billions.
Although it couldn't compare to the wealth of great clans like the Uchiha or Hyuga, for an individual, it was already incredibly extravagant.
This amount of money was enough to establish and operate a new Ninja clan.
Naruto casually closed the ledger, his expression showing little change.
He wasn't interested in money.
Next were a large number of property deeds, land deeds, and shares.
These were mainly investments made by the Uzumaki Clan throughout the Land of Fire—including a series of copper and iron mines, salt mines, merchant guilds, and real estate... However, having been neglected for over ten years, it would probably take a lot of effort to recover all these investments one by one.
Naruto quickly flipped through them. For him, these were resources that might be useful in the future.
Finally, what truly caught his attention was a stack of Ninjutsu scrolls.
These included the Ninjutsu Minato had collected over the years, as well as the secret Ninjutsu of the Uzumaki Clan.
The scrolls were categorized and sealed, with a simple Seal applied to the outermost layer.
Casually dispelling these Seals, Naruto began to study the scrolls one by one.
Tonight, he had gained a total of 900 evil points.
Of these, 800 points came from killing Fu Yamanaka and Torune Aburame, Danzo's personal bodyguards.
As for the other nameless characters, although some were Jonin, the System did not count them.
The other 100 points came from Kurenai Yuhi.
It seems the cooldown for generating evil pointsfrom the same character is roughly one week.
And the ultimate one-time evil act of "killing" naturally yields far more than usual teasing or beating.
With nine hundred evil points, plus previous accumulations, Naruto now had a terrifying 1300 evil points.
This was equivalent to 1300 months, a full 100 years of simulation time—which was probably enough for him to learn all the Ninjutsu in this world.
As for the accumulated evil points, they also reached 2000, completing half of the 4000-point upgrade goal.
Soon, Naruto picked out several valuable techniques from these scrolls.
These included several B-rank Five ElementsRelease Ninjutsu collected by Minato, such as Earth Release: Great Mud River, Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, and Lightning Release: False Darkness... Naruto learned these techniques simply to enrich his tactical repertoire and be prepared, not expecting them to be of much use in the future.
The other four were important secret Familytechniques of the Uzumaki Clan.
The first two were the Reaper Death Seal, which Minato used to Seal the Yin Nine-Tails, and the Four Symbols Seal, which sealed the other half of the Nine-Tails within himself.
The latter two were Adamantine Sealing Chainsand Kagura Minds Eye.
Adamantine Sealing Chains and Kagura Minds Eyewere both unique abilities of the Uzumaki Clan.
Adamantine Sealing Chains allowed the user to attack by releasing Chakra chains from their back, and could also create barriers to Seal Tailed Beasts.
On the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, Kushina, who had just given birth, used Adamantine Sealing Chains to temporarily suppress the Nine-Tails, thereby assisting Minato in completing the subsequent sealing.
Kagura Minds Eye was a sensory Ninjutsubelonging to a Bloodline Limit.
It could not only detect anomalies within tens of kilometers but also possessed the special abilities to sense malice and discern lies.
With the assistance of the System and the pure Uzumaki Bloodline within him, Naruto spent a total of 100 evil points to master all the techniques.
As the evil points were deducted, countless complex Jutsu formulas and Chakra flow trajectories were deeply etched into his mind like brands.
"Buzz—"
When he opened his eyes again, a faint golden glow flashed from them.
Kagura Minds Eye, activated.
At this moment, the entire mansion, and even the Konoha district within tens of kilometers, entered his perception range.
Kurenai Yuhi in the adjacent building, several AnbuNinja monitoring outside the mansion, and even ordinary pedestrians on the street.
Everything was clear down to the finest detail.
"Is this the talent of the Uzumaki Clan?"
Naruto exclaimed, "What a divine technique..."
