Chapter 231 This is my path
"Let's not research these for now. You can personally buy these tools later."
Naruto pulled Orochimaru, who was rooted to the spot, and helplessly pointed to a large expanse of farmland not far away: "I am a big landowner now. Pay attention, don't blow our cover."
"That really suits your persona."
Orochimaru looked at the vast fields of crops, cattle, and sheep, and he felt his spirits sink.
How long had it been? Naruto had already caused such a big stir here.
And why was Naruto so obsessed with farming?
He didn't understand, but he respected it.
"You are an employee I recruited, understand?"
"That's what I am. I'll play myself."
Orochimaru followed Naruto along a winding path, stopping and starting, and soon arrived in front of a house.
"Hey, Son Goku, catch this."
Naruto casually pulled out a large apple and threw it. Son Goku's eyes lit up, he leaped up, caught it, and landed easily.
Then, not afraid of getting dirty, he sat down on the ground and began to munch on the apple with bright eyes.
"Oh, it's you, Naruto. What a rare guest. Why have you come to visit this old man today?"
"I'm here to borrow something from you."
"What?"
"The Four-Star Ball."
"Oh, that."
Son Gohan was puzzled: "This thing is just for show, a decoration. I can even give it to you if you want."
Although Son Gohan didn't understand, he still turned around, took out the Four-Star Ball, and handed it to Naruto.
"Thank you. I'll return it after I use it."
"No need for that. You've given us enough things these past six months. Just take this as a gift."
Naruto chuckled: "This thing has a certain significance for you."
Son Gohan: "???"
Why was this person talking in such a strange and mysterious way?
Orochimaru's heart stirred, and he gazed deeply at the Four-Star Ball in front of him, lost in thought.
Naruto never did anything without reason.
Clearly, this item in front of him must be incredibly powerful, or possess abilities he didn't know about.
Orochimaru stood to the side without speaking.
At this moment, the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make. He just needed to quietly watch Naruto perform.
"Here, this is a gift for Son Goku."
Naruto carried some toys and fruits over to Son Gohan, then pulled Orochimaru and instantly used Flying Thunder God.
Seeing Naruto and Orochimaru suddenly vanish before him, Son Gohan was dumbfounded.
"Teleportation? Or was he too fast for me to even react?"
..."Here, can you create a tracking function for this thing?"
Orochimaru subconsciously took the Four-Star Ball, paused at Naruto's words, thought for a moment, then nodded: "It's a bit difficult, but not a big problem."
"Amazing."
Naruto gave a thumbs-up and said with a smile: "This thing is called a Dragon Ball. As the name suggests, there are seven of them."
"They are called One-Star Ball to Seven-Star Ball."
"Ancient legends say that if you collect all seven Dragon Balls, you can summon the Divine Dragon."
"And the Divine Dragon can grant any wish."
"What?!"
Orochimaru's somewhat relaxed mood instantly tensed, and the Four-Star Ball in his hand suddenly felt a little hot.
"Is that true? Any wish? What about eternal life?"
"Dream on."
Naruto looked at Orochimaru speechlessly: "To achieve eternal life, you'd probably need the cosmic-level Dragon Balls. Our little ones here, no chance."
"There are cosmic-level ones too?"
Orochimaru gasped, staring blankly at Naruto, feeling a bit numb as he asked: "Tell me, what exactly is going on with this world?"
"I feel like I've come to a terrifying place."
"It is terrifying!"
Naruto twitched his lips: "Let's put it this way, we are in a remote place now, so we haven't been noticed. But in the distant universe, there's an Emperor of the Universe, and casually destroying planets is just a normal occurrence for him."
Orochimaru: "..."
It's over.
What kind of ghost place is this?
"So, you want to find the Dragon Balls scattered across this planet. What wish do you want to make?"
"No particular wish. I just want to collect them."
"I'll give it a try."
Orochimaru couldn't help but get excited.
He now had a mysterious confidence in Naruto. Naruto didn't seem discouraged at all.
On the contrary, he seemed eager to try.
If that was the case, then his future was certainly bright.
Following Naruto meant good things.
In the future, he might even try for the cosmic-level Dragon Balls.
"Once I finish researching the equipment, I'll start making the tracker."
Orochimaru was already a bit impatient.
Naruto didn't stop him.
They were currently rebuilding everything, and Naruto also needed to improve his own strength.
Only then could he summon more talented people and take control of this planet as quickly as possible.
And extend his empire here, too.
Just thinking about it was exciting.
Nine-Tailed yawned upon seeing this: "Alright, looks like I'll have things to do again."
"You should also cultivate quickly, so you don't fall behind my pace later."
Nine-Tailed chuckled.
He had already fallen behind, alright?
He was also very helpless, and he tried very hard.
But there was nothing he could do. Naruto was too monstrous; he couldn't keep up.
It was tough.
Damn it!
Nine-Tailed cursed inwardly, but still got up and began to cultivate.
Playtime was playtime, but strength still needed to be improved.
Hinata was very diligent now, either spending time with Naruto or cultivating on her own every day.
With such effort, such intense effort, Nine-Tailedalso felt a sense of urgency.
"By the way, Hinata?"
"Hmm?"
Hinata, who had been sitting quietly listening to Naruto and them discuss things, looked at Narutowith a puzzled expression.
"Can you go to the moon from here?"
"No!"
Hinata shook her head: "I tried before. The moon here is not quite the same as the moon in our Ninja World."
"I can't sense it, so I can't go up there."
"That's a real shame."
"But Naruto, I feel like I can also keep getting stronger."
Hinata looked at Naruto firmly and said seriously: "I can feel that my eyes are still evolving, and the Ten-Tails inside me is also getting stronger."
"Plus, I can also get stronger, so my strength is increasing very quickly now."
"Is that so?"
Naruto was a little surprised, his eyes flashed, and he was very happy.
What he feared most was the loneliness at the top.
Now, if Hinata could slowly keep up, that was a good thing.
"Then keep cultivating hard."
He ruffled Hinata's beautiful hair, and Hinatanodded vigorously: "I will."
"Enough about us, Naruto, what about you?"
"Me?"
Naruto clenched his fist and threw a punch.
Boom!
Thunder on flat ground.
Nine-Tailed and Hinata were instantly startled: "What's going on?"
"Pure physical strength."
"How is that possible?"
Nine-Tailed's mouth hung open, his face full of disbelief.
The other Tailed Beasts heard the sound and scurried over, also looking at Naruto in shock.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. This is a blend of my Chakra training, Sage Mode, Ki training, and various Ninjutsu and training techniques."
"I refined it, keeping the essence and discarding the dross, to create the most suitable training method for me."
Hiss!
Terrifying to this extent...
