This Naruto is a player.

Chapter 144 History
Night City is so new that the entire city's foundation has barely been laid.

There's really nothing good to offer.

Even the city lord, Uzumaki Gou Dan, couldn't find a place to arrange a full-service package for Naruto, including learning a foreign language.

However, after getting off work at 10:30 pm,
The concert by Killer Bee, the "once-in-a-millennium musical genius" of the ninja world, gave Naruto a pleasant surprise.

"A musical genius that comes along only once in a millennium" is a self-proclaimed title by Kirabi.

Naruto thought, this Killer Bee...
A genius?
At best, it can be considered a "genius" style.
However, the concert was indeed lively!
The scene was incredibly lively, with drums and gongs, firecrackers, red flags waving, and a huge crowd.

With so many supporters (and nowhere else to go), Killer Bee went completely mad.

The atmosphere was so lively that Naruto ran up and sang a song.

really,

After the song ended, the audience below reacted enthusiastically, their faces contorted with excitement.

After coming off the stage, Naruto immediately decided that he must create a clone specifically for making music.

We also need to develop popular culture.

Ahem, it's definitely not because the audience's applause was too perfunctory!

In short, after a passionate night, the next day...

As dawn broke, Master Ming, who had just turned 18 and was 72 months old, struggled to get out of his hard bed.

Move your muscles and bones a bit, then touch your slightly stiff lower back.

"Tsk, this lousy bed," she glanced back disdainfully, increasingly longing for the soft, comfortable bed at home.

After a quick wash, I walked to the next office and happened to see the messy red-haired Whirlpool Dog Egg, who was still wrapped in a blanket and fast asleep on the bed, with snot bubbles coming out of his nose!
He kicked him twice, and as the sleepy, bewildered man looked up, Naruto used Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

Whoosh! Snap!
The air trembled slightly, and the figure vanished in an instant!
Thanks to the hundreds of clones he initially created, which have now expanded to thousands, and after more than four months of hard work traveling all over the ninja world, Naruto's Flying Thunder God Mark has spread throughout the entire ninja world like stars.

Although the ninja world is vast at this moment, for him, wherever his mind goes, he can reach in an instant!

Naruto can take a trip anytime he wants, and he can also go home on time every day to eat and sleep.

With the help of countless Flying Thunder God coordinate nodes covering every corner of the ninja world, Naruto flashed several times...

"Whoosh!"

When it landed again, the surrounding environment had changed drastically.

The moist and fresh scent of grass and trees wafts over you, and what comes into view is a lush and verdant forest.

At the edge of the forest stands a seemingly ordinary and unassuming wooden building, next to the bustling downtown area of ​​the Land of Hot Springs.

As soon as he appeared, Naruto keenly sensed that the wooden structure of the entire building contained a vibrant chakra energy.

He looked up and examined it closely:
This building, "hidden" in the woods, blends almost seamlessly with nature thanks to the unique "scent" emanating from its wood, and is easily overlooked unless one is specifically looking for it.

This is the core of the temporary headquarters for multiple companies, including the Ninja World Media Group, the Konoha Sun Group, and the White Rabbit Group.

"Boss!" A slightly clear voice called out.

The figure who had been waiting nearby noticed Naruto's sudden appearance and promptly went to greet him.

The newcomer had long, straight black hair that was disheveled; a gentle breeze caused countless strands of hair to flutter in the wind.

It was early morning, and the light in the woods was dim and hazy, making her look vaguely like a female ghost.

Take a few steps closer.
Naruto finally saw what he looked like.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, with flawless features, and she was stunningly beautiful even without makeup!

Those slender willow-leaf eyebrows, those captivating phoenix eyes, and that delicate face—one glance is enough to make anyone's heart flutter.

Unfortunately, he's a cross-dresser!
Even the most hardened, straight man could be swayed by that face at first glance. And if all else fails, those almond-shaped eyes, coupled with a seductive, alluring look, would be absolutely irresistible!

However.
Naruto, however, felt no joy whatsoever; in fact, he almost wanted to facepalm.

If the other strange clones can be considered as enhancements of certain aspects of his personality/character, where did this cross-dressing master's personality come from?
Could it be that beneath his sunny and cheerful exterior lies a strange cross-dressing fetish?
This...this isn't right, is it?

"The wind is quite noisy today!" Naruto couldn't help but utter a seemingly unrelated remark.

"Boss, what did you say?"

As Mizuki Tetsu approached, her exquisitely beautiful face held just the right amount of confusion, yet her voice was deep and magnetic.

Ok.

Yes, that voice was indeed a man's deep voice.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief; at least this clone was still maintaining its identity.

As for its appearance...
Yes, it must be because the Minazuki family's ancestral genes are too extraordinary!

Yes, that must be the case!

“I say,” Naruto changed the subject, gesturing to the deserted gate, “there are so few people here today, not a soul in sight?”

Mizuki Tetsuki was embarrassed. "Boss, our schedule is a little different from others. The reporters are out running around, digging up materials, and grabbing headlines. The headquarters is busiest at night. Right now, the brothers have just finished working all night and have only just gone to sleep."

"Oh, I see." Naruto suddenly realized that he had never paid attention to such a small matter.

However, as Naruto's gaze swept over the radiant face of the beautiful Iron Pillar, he remembered that this big boss managed 139 newspapers, 52 magazines, and hundreds of other publications. Shouldn't he be even busier?

Have you rested?

Naruto still cares about this close subordinate.

"Boss, I've evolved away from sleep!" Upon hearing this, Mizuki Tetsuki's beautiful phoenix eyes instantly curved into crescent moons.

"???"

Naruto's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Is it okay to evolve away from sleep?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like it might not be a bad idea?
With my superhuman constitution, I'm perfectly fine even if I don't sleep.

so.
I used to sleep every day without fail, and even sleep in late.
Is he the lazy outlier?!
Ah, so be it!

I love sleeping in! I'm proud of it!
but!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Naruto suddenly realized a serious problem!
The young man in front of me, Minazuki Tetsuju, is so busy with his affairs that he has "evolved" away from sleep!
that,
Why is that red-haired guy, Whirlpool Dog Egg, sleeping in bed with snot bubbles coming out of his nose?
And that street hustler, Uchiha Rokutsubo! Why does he just wander around aimlessly all day?
Ah!
As for myself, it's fine to sleep in occasionally.
How dare these clone minions be so relaxed?
Naruto instantly realized that he had been too kind.

After kicking Gou Dan twice just now, I actually felt a little guilty!

Looking back now, those two kicks I gave Gou Dan were too light! Too gentle!
Guilty?

Guilt my ass!

He should be doused with a bucket of ice water.

No, he should be thrown into the sea!
Slackness!
Too lazy!

It's one thing for a red-haired dog to sleep in late!

If all his clones are this lazy, when will Naruto ever become the light of the ninja world?
The thought of the wasted time in the past instantly wiped the smile off Naruto's face, and he could no longer be happy.

Mizuki Tetsuki keenly sensed the change in the old man's aura and felt a chill run down his spine!
Is the boss dissatisfied? Is it because I haven't done a good enough job?

He immediately straightened his back, and a light of unparalleled loyalty shone from his beautiful phoenix eyes.

“Boss!” His voice was firm and resolute. “Don’t worry! Sleep is just the beginning! Next, I will completely ‘evolve’ away from basic physiological needs like eating and using the toilet!”

"Dedicate every minute! Every second! to the glorious journey of your great ideals!" Naruto remained silent, only nodding quietly.

Two more directions for "evolution" have been unlocked!

He stepped forward, grabbed Tie Zhu's delicate hand, and patted it with satisfaction. "Tie Zhu, you're the Emperor's favorite! Understand?"

What use are those clones who follow him around all day, only good at flattering him?

Look at Tiezhu!

These are truly capable and reliable officials who get things done!
Pragmatic, efficient, and with its own "perpetual motion" evolutionary path!
Unlike that simpleton, Gou Dan!

Instead of organizing people to work overtime to catch up on the schedule in the middle of the night, they just put on some empty welcoming ceremony!
And look how fast this media group is developing!

In less than four months, it went from nothing to something, from a dozen people and seven or eight guns, into a super-large comprehensive media group. To put it simply, it has developed into an army group of over 100,000 people!

Even more Li Yunlong than Li Yunlong!

If this happened during the War of Resistance against Japan, would they still be attacking Ping'an County? Tie Zhu would have already marched all the way to Tokyo!
This speed is nothing short of terrifying.

While his bug-level game features contributed to the success, Minazuki Tetsuju's efforts were still indispensable!

After exchanging pleasantries, Tiezhu respectfully led Naruto on a tour of the headquarters.

The unassuming wooden building has a surprisingly spacious interior, making the most of every inch of space!

The different departments and areas are clearly divided, well-organized, and orderly!

Naruto did a quick count, and the total number of clones and employees under Tiezhu's command was just over a thousand, most of whom were reporters and others who collected information outside.

Under Tie Zhu's command, the complex organization of thousands of people operated in an orderly and efficient manner, like precisely meshed gears!

Clearly, the SSSSSS talent is still putting its power to the test!

Finally, they arrived at the CEO's office, located on the top floor with a panoramic view. Naruto sat down in the main seat next to Tiezhu and listened to Tiezhu's work report.

"First: The reverse propaganda campaign against Obito Uchiha (codename: Project Kurotsuchi) – progressing smoothly and with remarkable results!"

1. More than 100 local tabloids under its umbrella continue to fabricate gossip and scandals about Uchiha Obito, striving to etch the stereotypical image of Uchiha Obito as "brutal," "insidious," "neurotic," and "emotionally twisted" into the minds of everyone in the ninja world.

2. In the second half of the year, 12 novels will be released in the Ninja World, and Obito Uchiha's identity will be: blond hair, minotaur, villain, villain, and still villain!
3. Three theatrical films have been completed and are awaiting release in theaters. Among them, Obito Uchiha is still portrayed as a villain, and one that cannot be redeemed no matter what.

Naruto nodded slightly, a cold smile curving his lips.

Obito Uchiha, I wonder if you can sleep!
But Naruto can't let go of this grudge.

"Second: The progress of the Water Shadow Showdown team."

After listening to the report, Naruto was fairly satisfied with the current progress.

Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts!
The purpose of the Mizukage Showdown team was to test whether the tactics Naruto had previously proposed were effective.

In other words: Is it feasible to become the Shadow as a savior?
At first glance, the "Konoha Crush Plan" was executed well. If it weren't for Naruto's young age and Tsunade's sudden appearance as a roadblock, Naruto would have become Hokage long ago!

That's why we decided to try this out in Kirigakure.

The goal this time is to align the granularity, find a precise foothold in this brand-new experiment, thereby forming a path dependency, thoroughly breaking down the underlying logic, and ultimately completing a new business closed loop.

If this strategy succeeds, then this approach can naturally be applied to other areas.

In addition,

There is one last thing, but it is also the most important thing.

That is propaganda work!

Unifying the ninja world is still a long way off; Naruto's plan for unification is at least three years from now.

However, awareness and culture must come first, rather than action.

First, remove the obstacles in people's minds!

After all, there are decades of history between ninja villages, and thousands of years of history between countries.

What if one day in the future, everything is suddenly merged?
Will people find it difficult to get used to?

For example, in the future, if the entire Earth were to be combined into an Earth Federation, would humanity find it difficult to adapt?

While it's true that force is a valid approach, why not try a better, more harmonious one?
And there's no need to worry about future uprisings!

So, how do we arouse people's longing for the big one?
This is also the question that Minazuki Tetsuju is wondering about at this moment.

Naruto's answer was: Write history!
No, it should be called—creating history!

Looking around the world, it seems that only a major Eastern power likes to record history from morning till night.

What about the Ninja World?
I also don't have the habit of keeping records.

Since no one has kept detailed records of history, this gives room for imagination.

News must serve politics, culture must serve politics, and history must certainly serve politics as well!
What will be the political needs of the future?
Great unification!
Therefore, the past history, or at least the fabricated past history, needs to serve the purpose of unification!
There is no precedent for a unified empire yet, but there could have been in the past!
What? Not before?

How do you know you don't?

I, Naruto Uzumaki, control a media conglomerate. I say I exist, and that means I exist!

Even if you don't have it, you still have it!

For example, 500 years ago, no, 1,000 years ago, there was a wonderful era of great unification.

There was no war in that era; it was all peace!
Distance makes the heart grow fonder!

People often like to project an ideal world onto countries they don't understand well, projecting all their hopes and dissatisfaction with reality onto this ideal world, hoping it can fulfill all their desires.

For example, the abdication and rule of the country based on morality during the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, which the ancients admired.

For example, China, the ideal country that Europe longed for from the 15th to the 18th centuries!
For example, the United States, the ideal country that a large number of people in China longed for in the 1980s and 1990s!
Etc., etc!

The reality of the United States, a country perched atop mountains, is shattered due to the large number of people traveling abroad and the prevalence of the internet.

But no one could reach the ninja world a thousand years ago, so we could unleash our imaginations to the fullest!

The goal is to depict the unified ninja world of a thousand years ago as a utopia, an ideal country, placing all the beauty of that era within its borders.

Hint: Once the ninja world is unified, the current ninja world will also become that kind of thing.

Peace may be the greatest desire of the ninja world.

Even if it isn't now, it will be after the war!
A thousand years ago, peace was as readily available as the air we breathed, and there was never any war!

How harmonious and beautiful!

Next, the Ninja World Media Group will create four magazines: "Knowing the Yin," "Du Zhe," "Yi Lin," and "Youth Literature House," specifically to glorify and promote this matter.

The goal is to achieve a level of acceptance of unification among the general public that exceeds 75% within three years, or even within ten years.

As for the rest, they can continue to promote it after unification!
There is only one question left.

How did that period of unified rule in history come about?

This was naturally Tie Zhu's question.

At this moment, Naruto smiled slightly.

Those two people who have been impossible to find in reality, or whose names I've never even heard of: Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hagoromo Otsutsuki, can finally be brought out!
