In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Well, I don't remember the way." Naruto scratched his head and smiled, "Oh, by the way, can you lend me someone?"

"Who?"

"Hydrangea." Naruto said, although he acted without authorization and the person was captured by him.

But they felt that there was no need to be sneaky right now, so they should just be open and honest. Even if Hydrangea was truly gifted, Konan and Nagato wouldn't reject her.

"Hydrangea?" Konan's expression was indeed a little strange, proving that she knew about Hydrangea. "She's missing. She was a talented Genin."

"He didn't disappear. I took him away."

Xiaonan: “…”

In just a few words, the bitch silenced her again. You stole her, so why are you still "borrowing" her? Borrowing her for nothing, Uzumaki Naruto, you deserve to die!

Before leaving, Naruto took away one of Nagato's chakra iron rods and one of Konan's non-disappearing playing cards.

Nagato: “…”

Xiaonan: "......"

This person is incredibly complex, a thief who never leaves anything empty-handed, yet selflessly giving away chakra. He has a mean streak and a lack of shame.

But why does he give people a sense of reliability? Compared to Jiraiya, he is even better than his teacher. It's over, this is a real apprenticeship.

"This person...is at two extremes from Yahiko." Konan suddenly said.

Nagato didn't know what to say, so he could only nod.

.......

Hydrangea was a bit confused. She looked around, unable to believe her eyes. After being in prison for over a year, she had already given up hope.

In the previous second, she was still reading a book in the sealed space prison and chatting with two inmates in the next cell, Yu Muren. In the next second, she was already standing on the land of the Rain Kingdom.

Before I had time to get excited, happy, and kiss the ground.

When she looked up, she saw the person she least wanted to see. He had golden hair and a slightly cold and playful smile, staring at her slowly.

The two stood in an empty space in an abandoned building, a fine, dense rain falling outside. The streets were wet, and the air was extremely dull.

"You...what's wrong with you?" Hydrangea had been locked up for a year and her sharpness had long been worn away.

"What about me?" Naruto said, "Where is your home? I forgot how to get there. Lead the way."

Hydrangea was speechless. This guy was really... Not only did he capture her, but now he was planning to take over her house. Isn't this bullying an honest person?

"Oh, by the way, don't even think about running away." He suddenly added, "I have a good relationship with your angel. You can go ask your angel."

"You are now borrowed by me. You know what that means, right? You are now fully employed by me in terms of life and person."

"...Hire...Hire?" Hydrangea glanced at him weakly. "Is there money to be paid?"

"What are you thinking? Of course not." Naruto glanced at her, "Employment is just a term, it sounds nice, don't take it too seriously."

Hydrangea: “….”

Isn't this slavery? Damn it!

However, Naruto showed no remorse at all and slowly followed Hydrangea back to her home, thinking about how to exploit the employees and develop the two from wooden figures into second-term employees.

However, the two of them, as Kumogakure jonin and the Two-Tails jinchūriki, have obviously much stronger willpower than Hydrangea, a small-time gentin from the Hidden Rain Village.

Take it step by step, don't rush.

[Ding! Quest Line III has been activated! Followers of the Evil God!]

Dear world traveler Zhang Ming, the evil god has sent you an invitation. Gather ten followers and receive the reward: Hashirama Cell Activation Technique (fully activates the body once, returning to eighteen).

"Once? Is the evil god so lame?" Naruto complained as he walked on the road.

"What?" Hydrangea turned around in confusion when she heard the voice.

"Nothing, I'm not talking to you." Naruto waved his hand and said impatiently, "Continue to lead the way."

"Oh oh." Hydrangea turned back again.

Only Naruto could see the multiple panels that popped up in front of him, listing three quest lines.

The first one is already gray. [Quest Line I: From Hinata's favor, Nine-Tailed Fox's approval is 73%. The host releases the Nine-Tailed Fox. Wrong operation, the quest line is disconnected and has been permanently sealed.]

The second quest currently has only a small amount of green progress. [Quest Line II: Water Country, Ninja Sword Stamp Collection Quest Line has been opened! Achievement: Broken Sword. Beheading Sword. Reward: Izanagi (One-time Item), awarded upon completion of all achievements.]

The third one is the weak quest line that just got activated, [Quest Line III: Followers of the Evil God.]

After a moment's thought, Naruto cleared the first two panels, leaving the third. He scrolled down and discovered the progress bar at the bottom.

The gray progress bar, like a thirsty girl, mocked his incompetence. He was deeply dissatisfied with the evil god's petty rewards, and vowed to squeeze the evil god dry when he had the chance.

Looking at the swaying hydrangea ahead, Naruto suddenly had an idea. A believer? Isn't there a pure, wild believer right before him?

Hydrangea was walking ahead, holding an umbrella, leading the way, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts, all of which ended up in a state of chaos. She couldn't comprehend what had happened during her absence.

How could that person be so familiar with the angel? It would be fine if I was kidnapped, but now I can't do anything about him. I can't even condemn him morally. I was sold?

"Um!" Naruto called her, "Turn around, I want to ask you something."

"What?" Hydrangea turned around and looked at Naruto with a confused look on her face. Her eyelids suddenly twitched for no reason. "What...what happened?"

"Do you have faith?" he asked.

"Do I...have it...or not?" She looked at Naruto, somewhat undecided.

I thought, isn't it you who decides this? Even if there is one, if it doesn't suit your taste, won't I end up in jail again? Really... no human rights, damn it!

"I think you can have it." Naruto said calmly, folding his hands.

"I... I have faith?" Hydrangea became nervous, clenching her fists, her eyes wandering, and she stammered, "What is my faith?"

"Huh? Have you forgotten? You told me that yourself." He smiled gently, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, as if saying.

You must remember it, otherwise...

"Oh...oh! Really? I...yes! I said it myself, but...I don't seem to have a very good memory." Her palms were full of sweat, and she couldn't help feeling a little desperate at the thought of going to jail.

She was only eighteen, and she was certain that the flow of time inside was completely inconsistent with that outside. If she returned to that place, even if she came out a year later... her heart would have grown old.

"It's okay. I remember that you seemed to believe in an evil god." Naruto said to her with a smile, "The evil god of the Land of Hot Springs grants his believers the power of immortality."

"Yes! That's it! I believe in the evil god." Hydrangea swallowed and said without hesitation.

What is an evil god? Can it be eaten? Whatever, whatever, it's better than going to jail! Hydrangea watched Naruto's smile grow wider, and gestured for her to continue leading the way.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped a disaster. Whatever happened, she wouldn't be in jail again. It was just a casual remark about her faith, and it wouldn't have any impact on her.

Hydrangea

[Rain Village - Genin - Female - 18 years old]

[Evil God Followers-Actionable... (options hidden)]

[Talent: Space Summoning, Psychic Skill]

On the left side of the panel is a full-body 3D image of Hydrangea, including various body parameters. She has short purple curly hair and wears a gray martial arts suit.

Whether it was strength, reflexes, or even illusions and physical abilities, they were all incredibly weak. Putting aside his talent, he was nothing more than a small fry.

At the bottom of the panel, there is a comment: [A useless summoning girl.]

Naruto: “…”

Things like this are best left to oneself; there's no need for this system to specifically indicate them. But...what's this hidden option? He clicked on it out of curiosity, and surprisingly, there was a response.

The panel expands. [Operation options include single player training, feeding, costume change, combat training, and team battle training.], [Sealed Space training mode selection: Evil God Altar (immortality) and Death God Huangquan (time adjustment).]

"Is it a development system?" Naruto muttered to himself as he walked with an umbrella. "Its strength broke through the floor of believers, so there is a lot of room for growth?"

Naruto cleared the hidden options panel and returned to the quest line panel. He frowned as he saw the progress bar for Quest III, which had already reached one-tenth of green.

He remembered that there was another person in the sealed space. If the two wooden men were added, wouldn't the mission progress be directly completed by one-fifth?

Suppressing his slightly excited mood, Naruto followed Hydrangea back home. After entering the house, he changed his shoes at the entrance and looked around. It was still familiar.

Still concerned about the progress of his mission, he lay down on the gray sofa. Just as he was about to sink his consciousness into the sealed space, he suddenly saw Hydrangea standing trembling in the middle of the living room.

He frowned slightly, made up an excuse to send her away, and waved his hand impatiently.

"Go take a shower, wash yourself clean, and don't come out for half an hour."

"Ah?" Hydrangea exerted force with her fingers, and her nails dug deeply into her palm.

"Ah what, go quickly." Naruto urged.

"Oh." Hydrangea thought about it and felt that being in jail was more painful. She gritted her teeth, found some clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, in the living room.

He suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It actually...failed?"

Naruto frowned and hurriedly called up the panel to check.

[The two wooden figures are determined and believe that the evil god's followers have failed...]

Chapter 328 The tool girl still needs to work hard, on the altar, she would rather go to jail

Looking at the words "Failure" on the panel, Naruto slid down from the sofa weakly, and looked at the ceiling with a dead fish eye.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple." He murmured.

I casually clicked on the Hydrangea panel of Task Line III, and a three-dimensional full-body image of Hydrangea, which looked very weak, popped up directly.

The purple-haired girl in a martial arts uniform had a rather unintelligent smile on her face and a brown cloth belt tied around her waist. She was holding a useless card in her hand because she admired Xiaonan.

A simple Genin, a girl under duress.

After watching for about a minute, he closed all the panels and lay on the sofa for a while until he heard noises coming from the bathroom. Only then did he remember that the hydrangea was still there.

She stood not far from the bathroom door, looking a little nervous under the orange light, her whole body steaming. She glanced at Naruto secretly, wanting to say something but not daring to.

"I'm done washing." She said with her eyes closed.

Her tone sounded somewhat desperate, and she felt a wave of humiliation in her heart. She thought that even if that man wanted her to *, **, **, **, **, she would rather go to jail.

"Oh, you sleep on the sofa." Naruto got up and went to take a shower, leaving Hydrangea standing there, not knowing whether to be relieved or sad.

The good news is that she is back home and her boss doesn't harass her.

The bad news is that when she got home, her boss slept on the bed and she slept on the sofa. Who understands, family members?

Hearing the noise coming from the bathroom, she fell onto the sofa with a thud, looked at the ceiling and closed her eyes with a feeling of helplessness.

The feeling of being in jail is really... hard to describe in words.

He could still lie on the sofa now, but what about tomorrow, and the day after? Would he have to go back to that place again? He was "borrowed" as he was talking about, and it was very likely that he would no longer have personal freedom.

I lost my mind for a while, and I didn't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up again, I was covered with a thin blanket. The lights in the living room were off, and there was silence.

Hydrangea half-supported herself on her elbows, trying to sit up. She lowered her head, clutching the thin blanket, lost in thought. Perhaps he was a good boss, after all. Everyone has two sides.

In the middle of the night, Naruto woke up from his bed and thought that he had to upgrade his tool level. At present, he could not stay in the Rain Country for many days. After renewing Nagato's life, he should leave.

For a long time, perhaps the only tool he had at his disposal was Hydrangea. The two wooden figures refused to yield, so it would probably take some time to convert them into followers of the evil god.

This training option was quite practical. If he recruited ten followers, he would have ten tools. In this light, the reward for Mission III was quite acceptable.

At least if he developed a believer, he would be able to open a separate panel immediately. He didn't know what benefits the evil god could gain, but Naruto knew that this would indeed satisfy some of his bold ideas.

When I go back, I will recruit that guy Kurama Yakumo. He believes in the will of fire and the evil god and believes that he can gain eternal life.

With the basic idea of ​​the quest line laid out, Naruto lost his sleep. As he tossed and turned in bed, he suddenly realized that the only tool he had seemed... quite weak!

No!

How can you become a qualified tool if you are so lazy?

A yellow-haired man who was destined to be hung under the street light stood up, opened the door and walked silently to the sofa in the living room. A four-symbol seal put the hydrangea into the sealed space.

With a bang, the hydrangea fell.

"Huh?" She opened her eyes and saw the familiar cell, her expression suddenly changing.

However, unlike before, this time she wasn't inside the cell, but outside. The two Yukitos next to her were staring silently behind her, their gazes calm.

later?
