hapter 204: Founding of a Nation
"Last time, didn't you say you wanted to break out into the universe? I thought about it carefully, and I also think it's possible to do that."
"Huh?"
Naruto opened his mouth, then smiled, "How can you just come up with ideas on a whim? But this is not easy to do. Are you sure you want to research it?"
Naruto waved his hand, and two cups of third-grade spirit spring water appeared on the table.
He held the cup, took a sip, sighed comfortably, and then said, "I can't help you with this."
"It's fine, isn't there Amado? He is also a very capable researcher."
"Besides, I'm also very curious about the universe."
Orochimaru didn't stand on ceremony, taking the cup Naruto handed him. He took a sip and his eyes immediately lit up. "This water tastes even better than before."
And…
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, feeling a warm current flow through his body, as if some subtle areas were being nourished.
"This water? It evolved?"
"Something like that."
Orochimaru understood. This must mean that space had evolved.
Although he was curious, he knew it was Naruto's secret. He was living comfortably now and didn't want to go back to his old life.
"What kind of magical things do you think might be in the universe?"
"I don't know. Perhaps, possibly, we might encounter a Universal Emperor."
Orochimaru shivered.
It appeared.
Naruto's 'perhaps,' 'possibly.'
Whenever he said something like that, it really had a chance of coming true.
This was already a recognized fact.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so excited? I just said it casually."
Naruto was speechless, looking at the invigorated Orochimaru.
He just said it casually, why was he so excited? It was truly enough.
He wouldn't actually think that what I said was true, would he?
That would truly be… too blindly confident in him.
It's impossible for such a situation to occur, alright? The greatest possibility is encountering an Ōtsutsuki.
"I must research and develop this spaceship."
Orochimaru secretly vowed.
He wanted to see what this so-called Universal Emperor was all about.
Naruto: "…"
Alright!
He was obsessed.
"By the way, how are those researches coming along?"
"Not bad, there's been progress. I have to say, the Ōtsutsuki Clan's genes are truly powerful."
Orochimaru stroked his chin, a smile he couldn't suppress on his face, and said excitedly, "I've extracted some substances that can be injected into a person's body."
"I also collaborated with Tsunade to develop a pill."
"This way, for a short period, a person can unleash power beyond common sense."
"Oh? Like the Cursed Seal?"
"It's different. The Cursed Seal has very strong side effects, but I managed to rectify them after many years of effort."
Orochimaru shook his head and continued, "This item was researched by Tsunade and me together. I injected it into a pill."
"Hmm, it's a kind of Burst Pill, I guess. Taking it can allow a person to unleash powerful strength for a short time."
Gesturing in the air, Orochimaru estimated, "Roughly, a Genin's strength can burst out to Chunin level, and it can also provide some energy."
"Awesome!"
Naruto gave a thumbs up.
He truly admired Orochimaru; he was too amazing.
Anything in his hands could turn decay into power.
How did his brain work?
"In the future, when we Ninja go on missions, we can buy some of these pills. Tsunade and I have collaborated on many strange and wonderful things."
"These can all be sold in stores."
Orochimaru said with a smile, "And we can make some money in the process."
Naruto had always been the investor, and he was starting to feel a little embarrassed.
"It's worth a try."
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Ask Tsunade if she can make some aphrodisiacs or something."
Orochimaru: "???"
Naruto rubbed his hands, "Hehehe, you know."
Orochimaru scrutinized Naruto from head to toe, frowning.
Naruto didn't look like he had kidney deficiency, so why would he want to make such a thing?
"What are you looking at?"
Naruto's face darkened, "Think about how much money this thing can make. A man can't say no."
Orochimaru paused, then nodded.
He wasn't very interested in this, but he had to admit Naruto was right.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Orochimaru looked towards the door. Under their gaze, Tsunade walked in.
Several people followed behind her.
"Everyone's here."
"It seems today is a good day."
Naruto chuckled, "Sit."
With a wave of his hand, chairs appeared in the courtyard.
The others were used to this.
Naruto no longer bothered to hide his power, because he was almost invincible in the Ninja World.
His only enemy was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
He now feared nothing.
"Naruto, everything is ready. It will begin in three days."
"Good!"
"Are all the items prepared?"
"They are ready."
Nara Shikaku opened the documents in his hand and said excitedly, "I have checked everything multiple times; there can be no mistake."
"Also, the televisions will broadcast it simultaneously, ensuring everyone can watch."
Now there were mobile phones, televisions, and even computers.
It was infinitely close to the era Naruto had transmigrated from.
Even if many things still had imperfections, the future was promising.
"Exactly."
Shikamaru was also very excited; he would witness history.
Naruto looked at Hyuga Hiashi.
Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku, who was beside him, exchanged glances. Hiashi held a jade seal and handed it over, "This is the jade seal you wanted."
Naruto reached out and took it, examining it carefully, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, "Yes, it's roughly the same."
"Everything is ready, all that's needed is the east wind!"
Naruto held up the jade seal and laughed heartily.
Gentlemen, listen to the dragon's roar!
…
Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, three days passed.
There was no Mount Tai in the Ninja World, and Naruto didn't care about superficialities.
What he cared about was territory and the foundation of his space.
He would simplify things wherever possible.
But the necessary preparations still had to be made.
Finally,
The long-awaited day arrived.
Naruto's expression was solemn as he walked step by step towards a tall mountain outside Konoha Village, under the gaze of countless people.
This mountain was unnamed, but from its peak, one could look down upon the Valley of the End.
The massive waterfall roared.
Naruto reached the summit, waved his hand, held high the jade seal, and let out a long roar, the sound waves rolling.
His figure flickered, and golden light enveloped his entire body.
"Received mandate from Heaven, may life be eternal and prosperous!"
A murmur, like a dragon's roar.
As if something was transcending time and space, watching Naruto before them.
At the same time,
Within the space, the space trembled, expanding rapidly.
The speed was incomparable, exceeding any previous expansion.
Even an ocean appeared.
Splash!
Waves crashed, endless.
Vaguely, on the other side of the sea, there was a faint, shimmering portal, attracting people's gaze.
Naruto simply kept these things deeply in his mind; he still had many things to do.
"Ascend the throne!"
"Proclaim himself Emperor!"
"National title: Tianyuan!"
Boom!
The space trembled, as if some extraordinary change had occurred again.
At the same time,
A pair of indifferent eyes slowly opened…
