Chapter 279 I'm so stupid!
Son Goku suddenly understood, looking at Narutowith admiration.
Naruto smirked, "I sent Nine-Tailed this time with sincerity."
"I'm not someone who likes war; I prefer things to happen subtly."
"Once those planets are under my rule, I'll send resources to each one I conquer to help them improve their strength."
Hmm!
In return, they'll have to fight for him.
Naruto clearly knew that the stage of conquest would inevitably involve bloodshed.
He wouldn't be so foolish as to think that giving a few resources would earn him their loyalty.
That's not realistic.
Resources must be kept in his own hands, and strength must also be kept in his own hands.
Managing military, government, and culture all at once—that's the best way... "So, why are you asking about my marriage again?"
Looking at the unreliable Naruto in front of him, Shikamaru felt a headache coming on.
"Forget about the life-sustaining planets; you even want to terraform Mars. You really are..."
Shikamaru looked at Naruto speechlessly.
At first, he thought Naruto was just being impulsive, but now it was clear he was serious.
But that's an entire planet, and a dead one at that.
Oh, no, that's not right!
It's not exactly a dead planet.
After all, Naruto said there's still a core, and if the star core is ignited, it can regain vitality.
Perhaps it really could restore its former glory.
But what then?
Shikamaru didn't think he would live to see that moment.
Even with the resources Naruto provided, his lifespan had limits.
The transformation of a planet isn't an overnight task; it would take many years, without a doubt.
By that time, he would no longer be around.
He thought it made more sense to focus on the present tasks.
"Don't worry, I can still let you bring one soul into my space."
Shikamaru: "..."
Very well.
So, even after I die, you want me to work like a beast, huh? You're something else.
Though he grumbled internally, Shikamaru was still happy.
Because he no longer feared death.
At least, even if the light of his soul gradually dissipated, he could still continue as a soul for decades, or even centuries.
"And let me tell you, if we accomplish this, you might just make the cut."
What?
Shikamaru was puzzled.
"This place has an underworld. Then you can cultivate while maintaining your physical body. How great is that?"
"Then I'll pull you into my space. You can come and go as you please, and even continue to govern with a death halo."
Shikamaru: '...'
"You just want my help, and you even want my children to help you in the future. Fine."
"As long as you can achieve it, and even get people to Mars, I don't care."
"Then it's settled."
Naruto chuckled.
As a powerful scientist, building a spaceship like the Namekians' would be a bit difficult.
But a spaceship to Mars, with a template, wouldn't be hard to build... So,
A few days later, everyone looked at the advertisement in deep thought.
"Terraforming Mars? Habitable zones? Migration? A community of shared human destiny?"
Dr. Gero secretly came out to purchase supplies and saw advertisements everywhere.
He was stunned.
What was going on?
He had been holed up in his lab recently and hadn't noticed that the outside world had completely changed.
"What in the world is Uzumaki Naruto up to?"
Dr. Gero couldn't understand Naruto's thinking.
Since he became king, he had basically never appeared.
He was a complete hands-off ruler.
That was one thing, but now he was even messing with Mars.
Mars is dead; what's the point of doing this?
Even if it came back to life, it would just be one more resource planet. What's the point?
Incomprehensible, utterly incomprehensible.
"He's crazy."
Dr. Gero sneered, "Perfect, in a few years, my Cell will be perfectly born, and this time, Cell will only be stronger."
He touched his head, took a deep breath, and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
The destruction of his first lab's Cell was painful, as it was his creation.
But even if it was destroyed, what did it matter? With the data, it wasn't difficult for him to replicate it.
"It's just that growing up will be a bit difficult. This time, I won't need the groundwork of Android 17 and Android 18."
"It's a bit troublesome; it requires a lot of life essence. With Naruto watching this planet, it won't be easy to grow."
"Mars?"
Dr. Gero's eyes lit up: "What a good guy, he's given me a way to secretly develop."
The universe is vast, with countless life-sustaining planets.
Among them, ordinary life-sustaining planets are even more numerous.
Although Frieza is known as the Emperor of the Universe, has he even explored the tip of the iceberg of the universe?
No one knows how big the entire universe is; perhaps Whis, the angel, knows.
But Dr. Gero didn't know such a prominent figure at all.
"Star charts, isn't that a coincidence?"
Dr. Gero chuckled to himself, remembering that Cell had shown him some.
Because Cell also collected many things when he was bored.
Star charts were one of them, and Cell considered them essential items.
The universe is vast, and with star charts, one can quickly reach their destination.
"Perfect, then I can secretly develop. Once my Perfect Form grows, even Majin Buu in this world, I'll dare to challenge him."
"As for Android 17 and Android 18 ~"
Dr. Gero sneered, 'In this life, I won't let you step on my head again.'
... "Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
Kakashi looked at Naruto, a bit speechless: "Marsis a good place, but what do you need me for?"
"To manage Mars."
Kakashi: "..."
"Aren't you overestimating me?"
"I'm not overestimating you."
Naruto shook his head: "Nor am I underestimating you. I have confidence in you."
Kakashi was puzzled; he didn't even have confidence in himself.
Naruto took a sip of water and smiled faintly.
From the original work, it was clear that Kakashipossessed excellent leadership potential.
Kakashi was involved in the transformation, transition, and handover of Konoha Village.
To be honest, when Kakashi handed Konoha Village over to Naruto, Konoha Village was stable, powerful, and the center of the world.
Undeniably formidable.
And it was very prosperous, which was enough to show Kakashi's brilliance.
How could Naruto let go of such a capable person?
"Alright, tell me when you've actually made it happen."
Kakashi only wanted to develop and strengthen Konoha Village now.
Oh no!
Kakashi froze, his heart collapsing.
Was it because he had developed Konoha Villagetoo well, and Naruto had seen his abilities?
Thinking of this, Kakashi wished he could slap himself.
You worked hard, and now look what happened, you're going to be a beast of burden... Remembering this, Kakashi was on the verge of tears.
Really,
I was so foolish...
