"How should I remove this Xenomorph Chakra?"
Naruto fell into deep thought.
He had been dealing with important national affairs for the past few days, and he had lost a pound, which was a bit tiring.
Naruto stroked his chin, looking at Hinata and Ino Yamanaka swinging on the nearby swings, feeling a bit lost.
Nine-Tailed was currently working with Shukakuand Isobu to cultivate the land and plant seeds for a bountiful harvest.
"Men plow and women weave, a pastoral scene!"
"Wake up!"
Hearing Nine-Tailed's lament, Shukaku glanced at him, scoffing without understanding the sentiment, "Do you have a gender?"
Nine-Tailed's face darkened, and he glared angrily at Shukaku, "Get lost!"
Upon hearing Naruto's murmur, the three Tailed Beasts exchanged glances.
They had no solution either; this was beyond their comprehension.
They didn't know how Six Paths Sage managed to deal with the Chakra of Indra and Ashura.
Isobu played dead.
It had the lowest status here and could only silently put in effort.
It felt like it was the Sha Wujing from the stories Naruto told.
"Forget it, we can't help much with this. Just getting this space in order will ease Naruto's mind a bit."
"Let's go, charge!"
Shukaku waved his arms, drawing a look of disdain from Nine-Tailed.
…
"Perhaps I can try using some spiritual herbs from the space."
"Or I could have Tsunade research this aspect. Oh, right, and Orochimaru."
Naruto's eyes lit up.
Orochimaru was definitely a master in this field.
Why should he exhaust himself here? He had subordinates to do the work.
At worst, he'd just give them more good things, and they'd surely be willing.
Thinking of this, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he looked at his friends playing nearby.
"Naruto, you're as unsociable as ever!"
Shikamaru walked over, casually lay down beside Naruto, and tilted his head, saying helplessly, "We're all the same age, after all."
"You are too."
"At least I go and play. But you, all you like to do is watch us play. Aren't you bored?"
"Not bored at all. I feel very comfortable."
Naruto held a foxtail grass he had pulled from the space in his mouth, his voice full of ease and pleasure.
"My favorite thing is to sit quietly by the side and listen to the stories of the elders. I find it very interesting."
"Coincidentally, I like that too."
Shikamaru and Naruto exchanged glances and chuckled.
"By the way, what are your plans next?"
Shikamaru got a foxtail grass from Naruto, mimicked him by holding it in his mouth, and asked indistinctly.
"Start a war, sweep the world!"
"Dominating!"
Shikamaru gave a thumbs up, "It's a pity I'm too young, otherwise I'd definitely follow you to the battlefield."
"Is conquest even necessary?"
Naruto said this casually, yet with unparalleled confidence.
Shikamaru: "…"
Indeed.
If it weren't for the Land of Fire's inability to digest everything in a short period, they would have already started sweeping the world.
"Those people seem to be waiting for death. I heard that the Daimyo of the Land of Water and the Land of Clouds, and the Mizukage and Raikage, have all set off for our Konoha Village."
"You heard right."
Naruto thought of those letters, guessing they were coming to surrender.
This was not a wrong decision; it was a sign of those who know how to adapt to the times.
After all, there weren't many stubborn ones left.
If they surrendered now, according to Naruto's strength, they would still have comfortable lives.
If they didn't surrender now and resisted to the end like the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, just look at the Daimyo of those two countries.
Many Ninja had accepted the missions to deal with them, which were listed on Naruto's task list.
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind had already been beheaded; just thinking about it sent shivers down one's spine.
People must follow their hearts.
When the opponent was Uzumaki Naruto, there was no shame in surrendering.
Perhaps in the future, people would still remember them for being sensible.
Maybe they would truly go down in history.
After all, there would certainly be many records surrounding Uzumaki Naruto.
Oh hey!
Thinking of this, they cared even less about their positions and rushed towards Konoha Village.
…
"Naruto, I've never seen the entire Ninja Worldunified. We can be considered pioneers of an era."
"Absolutely."
Otherwise, why would the value of the ancestors continue to rise in recent years?
From nothing to something, from zero to one, was not that simple.
Ideological awareness, unique vision, etc., were all indispensable.
Later generations all revolved around great unification.
Naruto subconsciously stroked his chin, wondering if he would also be completely exposed in the future.
Would various comments be attributed to him?
Tyrant!
Enlightened ruler!
Ancestor?
Tsk!
Thinking of this, it felt quite interesting.
"Naruto!"
Over there, Hinata jumped off the swing and ran over, looking up with her delicate, pretty face, asking clearly, "When are we going to the moon?"
"The moon!"
Shikamaru was attracted by Hinata's words, "When are we going? I want to see it too."
"When you can use Tenseigan proficiently. Your Chakra isn't quite enough yet."
Naruto stroked Hinata's hair and said with a smile, "We're not in a hurry."
"Okay!"
Hinata was a little disappointed.
Ever since she heard Naruto's story of Chang'e flying to the moon, she often fantasized about going to the moon herself to see if there really was a Guanghan Palace.
This idea became even more deeply rooted after she learned that her Tenseigan could open a passage to the moon.
But Naruto was right; she had only recently graduated, and although she was already a Chunin, her Chakra was indeed not enough.
"Just two more years."
Hinata secretly vowed to herself.
"I wonder what the moon is like. Ōtsutsuki Tonericame from the moon, didn't he, Naruto? Do you know the inside story?"
"It's just so-so. It can't compare to our Ninja World, but it seems Toneri's ancestor created an oxygenated area up there where they can survive."
Shikamaru: "…"
Hinata: "…"
That's amazing!
They could even do that.
It was hard to imagine they were completely like frogs in a well before.
Indeed, one must reach a certain level to know some of the secrets that can only be known at that time.
The stature of their Konoha Village had been elevated by Naruto by more than just one level.
…
Meanwhile, two mysterious figures arrived at the old Akatsuki Organization ruins in the Land of Rain.
"This place has been cleared out. Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sand's research likely won't be here either."
"I know."
Amado silently followed Jigen, nodding coldly at the remark.
They walked casually through the ruins, both remaining silent.
"Found it."
Suddenly,
Amado squatted down and found some tabletops, broken containers, and other research equipment.
"What's the use of these things?"
"You should know that a Ninja's corpse is very useful; a lot of valuable information can be extracted from it."
Amado smiled, "Similarly, for scientists like us, sometimes these research tools, when combined with Ninjutsu, can also extract a lot of useful things."
"I'm very interested in the mechs that Orochimaruand Sasori of the Red Sand researched, as well as those mechanical Ninja and mechanical Tailed Beasts."
Jigen narrowed his eyes…
