Chapter 286 Otsutsuki's Shock
"How could this be?!"
The mysterious Ōtsutsuki was shocked, his heart trembling.
Hiss!
"Something big has happened."
"Something really big has happened!"
His name was Ōtsutsuki Goshiki. In the stall clan, most of the clan members had 'shiki' at the end of their names.
This was their clan's unique naming convention.
Just like 'Tianbian','Shuibian', 'Hebian', etc., in some other clans.
"How could such an absurd thing happen? This is unscientific."
He mumbled softly, Ōtsutsuki Goshiki took a deep breath, intending to sneak in and take a look.
Sneak in quietly, but don't be too flashy… "Strange, I always have a feeling that we're being watched."
Naruto was studying Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags.
No, that's not right.
This Ninjutsu had already been innovated by Naruto, and many versions had been updated.
Now, when the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags truly explode, wherever there is enough energy, a series of explosions will occur, without stopping.
Moreover, the greater the energy, the greater the power.
"Is your stay here going well?"
Looking at Nagato, who was now unrecognizable, Naruto's mouth twitched fiercely: "I say, you've been fed a bit too much, haven't you?"
Looking at the current Nagato, who could possibly connect him with the skeletal Nagato from before?
"How many kilograms do you weigh now?"
It wasn't surprising that Naruto was curious; Nagato was simply too robust at the moment.
Nagato raised his chubby hand to scratch his head, smiling foolishly: "I'm not sure. Last time I weighed myself, it was 110 kilograms."
Hiss!
Terrifying, truly terrifying.
Naruto tilted his head, looking at Konan who was standing to the side.
She was still as beautiful and charming as ever; time seemed to have left no trace on her, and she looked increasingly alluring.
"You two~"
"I say, Konan, the last time I saw Nagato, he was already very fat. Now, only a few years later, he's even fatter."
Konan smiled shyly: "Perhaps he was too thin before, so he's eating a bit vengefully."
Nagato: "..."
He shot Konan a resentful look, muttering inwardly: "Whose fault is it that your cooking is so delicious? I simply can't resist!"
"Given your current state, I plan to have you both come along. It'll also be a chance for Nagato to get some exercise."
Naruto waved his hand grandly.
He just couldn't stand seeing others so happy.
All of you, get to work.
Nagato and Konan were overjoyed.
Did this mean they had been accepted by Naruto? That would be wonderful.
They had been drifting for so long and hadn't expected to finally enter Naruto's inner circle.
Then they could continuously take on missions, acquire resources, and their strength could once again grow stronger.
"Oh, by the way, where's that perverted sage Jiraiya? I heard he was nowhere to be seen in the old Hidden Sand Village."
"Jiraiya-sensei is already very old; he's currently traveling and enjoying the scenery."
"That sounds very comfortable."
Nagato smiled awkwardly: "He said he wants to create another masterpiece comparable to icha icha paradise in his lifetime."
Tsk tsk tsk!
"He certainly has goals and dreams. At his age, he's still wandering around, not even worried about dying somewhere and having no one to collect his body."
Konan and Nagato remained silent.
After all, he was their teacher. They had also turned over a new leaf, and there was no longer any rift between them and Jiraiya; on the contrary, they got along quite well.
Hearing Naruto's complaints at this moment, they didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, I won't bother with him. Someone will naturally deal with him. I'm leaving now."
"You two need to prepare. Although I've stayed here for a while this time, we'll depart once the matter is settled."
"Okay!"
Konan and Nagato eagerly rubbed their fists.
Although he had gotten fat, Nagato's strength hadn't fallen behind much.
"Your Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags are very powerful; I've already learned them."
Naruto was stunned.
He remembered some Ninjutsu he had left behind when he returned last time.
He hadn't expected Konan to have such talent. She truly was the Angel of Akatsuki, quite extraordinary.
"Alright then, there are many places where people are needed over there. You two are needed to shine and contribute."
Naruto waved his hand, his mood cheerful.
"You certainly look happy." Nara Shikaku appeared nearby at some point, his arms crossed, looking at Naruto speechlessly: "You didn't come to find me the first thing after you returned. Have you given up on this Ninja World?"
"Oh, it's you."
Naruto shrugged, chuckling: "Isn't it because I trust you? See, you've done a great job."
"I can't do anything with you."
Nara Shikaku sighed. He remembered Narutowasn't so brazen back then.
Now that he had grown up, his thick skin had grown with him.
"Let's go, I have a few things to tell you."
Led by Nara Shikaku, the two didn't go to the office but returned to their old spot.
Hokage Rock.
The Village had transitioned into a city; that original existence had long since vanished and would never return.
However, the Hokage Rock had always been preserved, and very well at that.
It had become a pilgrimage site for the entire Ninja World.
"There are many things, let's take them one by one."
Nara Shikaku stared directly at Naruto. Seeing this, Naruto smiled, waved his hand, and a pile of fruits, drinks, and alcohol appeared on the table.
"Come, let's talk while we eat."
"First, the first matter."
Nara Shikaku picked up a sake gourd and poured himself a cup of sake.
This was sake brewed by Nine-Tailed and the others; it tasted excellent.
Moreover, it could relax muscles and activate collaterals, making it very suitable for adults to drink.
Taking a comfortable sip of the sake, Nara Shikakucontinued: "The Ninja World is developing very rapidly now. Coupled with the Hyuga Clan's base gradually moving to the moon, many researchers have turned their attention to the universe."
"I want to ask if you have any spaceships."
"Yes, they are in mass production."
"That's good."
Receiving Naruto's definite answer, Nara Shikakubreathed a sigh of relief, then continued: "I also have an uneasy feeling about the Ōtsutsuki."
Nara Shikaku remained silent for a long time before continuing: "I know about Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's return; the situation over there is very bad."
Naruto was stunned, a little surprised: "Bad?"
"That can't be!"
He remembered having his own Karma. Logically, that self should be stronger, and a worse situation shouldn't have occurred.
"That you is not as smooth as you."
Naruto's face darkened: "What kind of talk is that?"
"Literal meaning."
Nara Shikaku sighed: "According to the news Ōtsutsuki Kaguya brought back, that you was schemed against and got locked in Daikokuten."
Oh my god.
Naruto was utterly speechless.
That self over there was also him, one proof for all proofs.
When he appeared here, all parallel worlds were essentially him.
Therefore,
Hearing this news, Naruto felt a bit… disappointed in himself.
"He liked being a hero and protecting the Village, so he was schemed against. Originally, with the Karma you gave him, plus the Nine-Tailed Mode, etc., his strength was formidable, and he had nothing to fear."
Nara Shikaku said so…
