Chapter 282 The Return of the Nine-Tailed Fox
"Virus?"
"That is indeed an intractable problem; people need to research a vaccine, and it's very likely many will die."
"The human body, after residing on a planet for a long time, will bear its imprint."
"Through countless years, it has engaged in a battle of wits with viruses and the surrounding environment, forming a body capable of adapting to survival."
"But this body is actually very fragile."
"Of course,"
"This is relative to ordinary people; for a Martial Artist, these virus issues are not a big deal."
""No worries, we can just relocate more successful cultivators there. With reproduction and open birth policies, the population will explode in just a few years.""
""Makes sense.""
Orochimaru pondered, "So that problem is solved, but there are still many other issues."
""Although Mars and Earth seem close in distance, that's from the perspective of our spacecraft. For others, it's not the same.""
""Therefore, this is where you all come in.""
Naruto smiled faintly, "Cars, bicycles, and airplanes can all be used for civilian purposes. There's no reason why spacecraft can't be, right?"
"I knew it."
Orochimaru gave a wry smile. He really had a knack for bringing up inconvenient topics. Now, he had more work to do.
"However,"
"Mars… he also wanted to come here and conduct some research."
""Huh, what exactly should I be researching now?""
Orochimaru suddenly scratched his head, surprised to find that he seemed to be researching a bit too many things.
"After a careful calculation,"
"Ever since he followed Naruto, he had gained many good things, and his research capabilities had continuously increased."
"By now, he had spread into various fields, achieving considerable success in all of them."
""Indeed, following the right person is such a fortunate thing.""
Glancing at Naruto, Orochimaru smiled.
"Spaceship?"
"Not a big problem."
"And that detector, he was currently researching it too."
"To him, this detector might not be very useful for Naruto, but it was extremely valuable for ordinary Martial Artists."
"This would be a good industrial chain."
"Money, who would have thought?"
"Shikamaru's current funds were maintained by missions created by Naruto using resources; the rest came from taxes."
"Now, if this industrial chain were established, it would also be a good solution."
""Come, Shukaku, come out and work.""
Naruto raised his hand and pointed, and figures appeared on Mars, roaring up at the sky.
"Afterward, they continuously flew and planted the lowest-grade vegetables and fruits from Naruto's space."
"Mars was vast. Naruto sat cross-legged, his body shook, and tens of thousands of Uzumaki Narutos flew out."
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."
"Figures flew into the distance, continuously planting."
"Vaguely, as the core of Mars revived, the atmosphere seemed to begin to form."
""I wonder what the principle behind this is.""
""Orochimaru.""
""Hmm?""
""Look, how beautiful! With these plants planted, this desolate land looks so much more beautiful.""
""I have a question.""
Orochimaru looked at Naruto in confusion, "You wouldn't be starting to search for those destroyed life planets and then revive them, would you?"
""There's no need for that. I'm just experimenting.""
"Although the energy in his space was inexhaustible, he didn't feel the need to engage in such endeavors."
Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief. If that were to happen, it would be incredible, and he wouldn't have to do anything else in the future.
""I just want to get the North Galaxy under control first.""
"Orochimaru: "…""
"Alright, this goal isn't easy either… "I've seen this spaceship before.""
"In the boundless universe, a spacecraft broke through the void."
Zhang Chacha, shrunken down, stood beside Nine-Tailed, looking at the fleeting starlight outside, and exclaimed in surprise, "Many years ago, such a spaceship landed on the planet where I was, but then it left."
""They didn't kill you all?""
"Nine-Tailed was surprised. From the intelligence, these people seemed quite ruthless."
""Perhaps they didn't think much of us.""
Zhang Chacha glanced at Nine-Tailed, "Speaking of which, you are incredibly powerful."
"She thought of the war that broke out not long ago, where all the defiant individuals were easily suppressed by Nine-Tailed."
"The power he displayed was simply terrifying."
"And yet,"
"He was merely someone else's subordinate. How powerful must that person be?"
""Actually, I'm not that strong. I just barely make it into the top ten.""
"Nine-Tailed shook his head."
"Shukaku and the others were following closely."
"Moreover, Uchiha Itachi and their strength were steadily improving."
"Combined with their terrifying eyes, their strength could be said to be very formidable."
""You don't have to worry. Naruto has his reasons for doing this. He disdains controlling you; he just needs you to be obedient and not object to important matters.""
"Zhang Chacha: "…""
"Still, she had to rely on others."
"She was very helpless, but remembering the item Nine-Tailed had brought out last time, she suddenly felt it wasn't such a big problem."
"Octopuses are never slaves, unless they get free food and lodging."
"If that item could be obtained through missions, she wouldn't mind working under someone else."
"After all, she saw a way to become stronger again—no, a shortcut."
""How much longer?""
""Just sleep, and we'll be there.""
"Zhang Chacha: "…""
"…"Mars is settled for now; the rest depends on the planet's fate.""
"Naruto returned to Earth by spaceship, arriving back at Mount Paozu."
""Son Gohan, you've aged a bit more.""
"Returning to Mount Paozu and seeing Son Gohan's appearance, Naruto sighed, "Time makes people old.""
"Even with his own vegetables and fruits, Son Gohan's aging had become more pronounced with the passage of time."
""Haha!""
"Son Gohan grinned, revealing his gappy teeth."
"Even though he looked frail now, if a fight broke out, few would be his match."
""Life span is destined. To live this long is already good.""
""Moreover, I was able to see that child, Goku, marry and have children. My life is complete; there's no need to worry.""
""How open-minded!""
"Naruto gave a thumbs-up, admiring him inwardly."
"For countless years, in infinite worlds, emperors have pursued immortality."
"Yet, Son Gohan before him appeared so open-minded, which was truly rare and commendable."
""Hahaha, I actually wish I could live a bit longer, so I might still be able to see Goku's child.""
"Son Gohan laughed heartily, his voice full of vigor, then looked at Naruto curiously, "Where are you all returning from?""
""Mars!""
"Mars?"
"The smile on Son Gohan's face froze."
"Could this group of people be the Marsteenagers?"
"Son Gohan looked suspicious, then cleared his throat, "By the way, do you remember that girl named Chi-Chi? She and Goku are getting married. As one of Goku's teachers, you should give your approval.""
""That's good.""
"Naruto was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "How should I put it, Chi-Chi is a very good match for Goku.""
"This woman is truly admirable."
""That's good then.""
"Seeing Naruto approve of Chi-Chi, Son Gohanstroked his white beard and chuckled. Just as he was about to say something, there was a loud bang in the sky."
"A spaceship broke through the void…"
