Chapter 324 It's Time to Harvest
Nail went to see Son Goku.
As for what kind of sparks they would ignite, it was unknown, and he would fully entrust this matter to Shikamaru.
He just needed to be a hands-off manager.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, silently calculated the time, and chuckled softly: "Counting the time, it should be time to harvest the leeks."
"We have to bring Orochimaru for this matter."
Naruto suddenly disappeared from the Divine Temple, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Orochimaru.
At this moment, Orochimaru was organizing documents.
He wanted to bring everything he had accumulated to the Divine Temple.
Of course,
he would have backup files on the ground.
Although the Divine Temple would be very safe with Naruto in charge, it's always better to be prepared for the unexpected, so having two sets of preparations was good.
This way, it would be even safer.
When Naruto appeared in front of him, Orochimarusaid with some surprise: "Is there a problem? You'd kindly come to find me? It seems it's time to cast the net."
Orochimaru suddenly became excited: "Kabuto, Karin, quickly get ready to receive the results!"
"What results?"
Yakushi Kabuto and Karin, as assistants, walked out curiously upon hearing this.
They had been helping Orochimaru pack things, but now they couldn't bother with it; anything Orochimaru called a "result" must be very impressive.
Orochimaru smiled: "Never underestimate anyone, especially the scientists in this world; each one is more incredible than the last."
Sometimes Orochimaru even felt ashamed of his own inferiority.
He really didn't know how these people's brains worked, how they could be so amazing.
The time machine was one thing; that was built by future Bulma, and it was only when Naruto told him that he realized the little girl who used to follow him around so often actually possessed such capabilities.
There was also her father, and then there was Dr. Gero.
He had also built robots before, but they were far less powerful than those built by Dr. Gero.
So he had been pleading with Naruto to help him; he wanted all of Dr. Gero's data.
The data obtained from Dr. Gero's laboratory earlier had already been thoroughly studied by him.
There wasn't much of that data to begin with.
Now, at this point, it was time to cast the net.
"Alright."
Hearing Orochimaru's explanation, Karin pushed up her glasses and said nothing, but Yakushi Kabuto became excited, rubbing his hands and saying: "I haven't been here long, and I didn't expect there to be such an incredible person. I must see him."
"I just don't know who is stronger, him or Lord Orochimaru."
Orochimaru squinted, a slight cold smile on his face.
On the path of research, his Orochimaru's life was not inferior to anyone's... Hooohooohoo!
The wild wind howled, the eerie wind roared, and yellow sand danced across the sky.
From time to time, sandstorms could be seen sweeping across the entire world, looking like the end of days.
Naruto, Orochimaru, and Yakushi Kabuto appeared here.
Orochimaru was surprised: "I really don't know how this person secretly built a shelter and conducted research here. You must have spent a long time finding it back then, right?"
Naruto shook his head.
To deceive others, one must first deceive oneself.
Over the years, Naruto had been constantly making moves in secret, and under Shikamaru's high-intelligence suppression, Dr. Gero had always thought his actions were very secretive.
In reality, there were loopholes everywhere.
Perhaps in terms of research, few could rival Dr. Gero, but in terms of strategizing, Shikamaru dared to claim first place, and currently, no one dared to claim second.
Therefore,
Dr. Gero had always thought he was well-hidden, sometimes not even bothering to use his brain.
Shikamaru even had to quietly help him cover things up, which was truly a bit arduous.
Now it was good; he finally didn't have to do that anymore.
Because Naruto was going to cast the net and make a sale; how wonderful.
Hanging up the phone, Shikamaru smiled: "Comfortable, this matter is finally over. With one task completed, I can relax a little."
Shikamaru stroked his chin.
He, a person who loved ease, was made to spin like a top by the work Naruto assigned him.
If it weren't for the advanced Shadow Clone Jutsu Naruto taught him, he wouldn't have been able to handle it all; every night, after recalling his Shadow Clones, he still had to deal with the feeling of a swollen head.
He had never worked this hard even as a child.
Was this the price of growing up?
Indeed, childhood was the happiest time.
"You must be tired, have some tea."
Ranchi gently brought over a cup of tea, placed it on Shikamaru's coffee table, and then sat down softly on the sofa, looking at Shikamaru.
Shikamaru pursed his lips; it seemed this feeling wasn't bad either.
Perhaps he really could settle down and start a family; otherwise, his father would come to this world to scold him.
He was now in a high position of power and didn't want to be lectured by his father.
"Ranchi, let's get married."
Ranchi's face immediately turned bright red, and she felt a tickle in her nose. To Shikamaru's shocked gaze, she suddenly sneezed: "A-choo!"
Buzz!
A flash of light passed, and the blonde, irritable Ranchi came online, stomping her foot on the sofa and howling to the sky: "Wahahaha, you finally agreed to marry me! Let's go, right now!"
With that, Ranchi grabbed the somewhat bewildered Shikamaru and walked away.
Shikamaru: "???"
This change was too sudden, and hey, hey, hey, this is in public, don't pull and tug...
"The weather is really bad."
Facing the blowing yellow sand, Naruto suddenly thought of Hidden Sand Village.
He had been to Hidden Sand Village a few times back then, and the situation there was not much different from here.
"Be content. Only we can walk freely in this desert; even with navigation, it's very dangerous for ordinary people."
Naruto walked beside Orochimaru, strolling leisurely.
The chakra within him circulated, warding off wind and frost, and his steps were light, like the Lingbo Weibu, leaving no trace on the sand.
He looked like an immortal.
Orochimaru's mouth twitched upon seeing this: "Is it really necessary? Aren't you wasting chakra like this?"
Naruto smiled faintly.
Have you seen "Mysterious Lotus Casebook"?
That kid's internal energy was worthless, but he still showed off, and it was cool.
Naruto shook his head and said lightly: "Don't I look cool like this?"
"Being cool is for life. Chakra? What's that?"
Yakushi Kabuto took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to hit someone.
Indeed, comparing people only leads to anger. This guy really doesn't understand the cost of things. Shouldn't chakra be used at critical moments?
They were about to face a battle; how could he waste it like this?
But then, thinking that this person in front of him was Uzumaki Naruto, Yakushi Kabuto became indifferent again.
He couldn't speak for others, but Uzumaki Narutowas definitely not someone who just showed off. Since he was doing this, he must have a lot of chakra, almost inexhaustible.
How nice.
Yakushi Kabuto was envious.
He and Karin had only started cultivating chakra not long ago and were not yet so extravagant.
Orochimaru, however, didn't think there was any problem, just nodded slightly, paused his steps, looked into the distance, and said softly:
"We're here!"
