In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"That thing in your hand doesn't seem to be that good. It looks so tacky."

"You!" Inuzuka Kiba was full of anger, but when he thought about the fact that the style of the gift he bought was not much different from the one chosen by Naruto, he suddenly had nothing to say.

He did the same thing and made an appointment with his boss to deliver it to the Nara clan on the same day.

"Fifty thousand taels in total."

"What?" Inuzuka Kiba was shocked. "Isn't the price tag 25,000 taels?"

"The gentleman said you will pay for his portion." said the boss politely.

Inuzuka Kiba: “…”

Naruto stood aside, grinning and spreading his hands, indicating that he had no money. Inuzuka Kiba was speechless for a moment, thinking about what he had just said, and suddenly realized that Naruto seemed to have not done any missions for a long time.

No wonder he would say such self-deprecating words, alas!

Inuzuka Kiba said nothing, shook his head and silently paid the money. This made Naruto confused, and he was waiting for Inuzuka Kiba to come to him to argue.

Why...it's so weird, never mind.

After the two parted, Naruto saw that it was still early, so he went to Satomiyama Villa again.

This time, Kurama Yakumo was tactful enough to come over early. She looked frail, with a slightly sickly expression. She wore a gauze skirt and obediently knelt on the tatami to pour him tea.

"Master, please have some tea." Kurama Yakumo's voice was delicate and gentle.

"Yeah." Naruto's attitude was a little cold.

Perhaps it was because he wasn't familiar with Kurama Yakumo, or perhaps Kurama Yakumo wasn't familiar with the village either. The only person he could rely on was Kurenai Yuhi, but she didn't have the heart to care about her right now.

And now that Kurama Yakumo called him master, he didn't have too many concerns.

Kurama Yakumo knelt beside him, not daring to speak a word, only daring to glance over when he looked up. Naruto's face was cold and expressionless, as if he was resting.

The room was quiet, and the only sound they could hear was each other's breathing. There was no ambiguity, just pure silence.

Having lived alone for many years, Kurama Yakumo had long since grown accustomed to the quiet. Sitting in his room, he could even hear the rustling of the bamboo forest on the north slope facing the sun.

She lowered her head, asked nothing, and silently stared at the steaming cup of tea. When it seemed to be getting cold, she would immediately change it for another cup, and repeat this process over and over again.

Even the most monotonous work didn't seem so monotonous when it came to her. Kurama Yakumo looked calm, as if this was the most normal thing.

Half a day later, the atmosphere returned to normal.

Naruto took the nearly cold teacup in his hand, gulped it down, and rolled up his sleeves. Kurama Yakumo, standing by, understood what he meant and helped pull Ido out.

She didn't know how long Naruto would torture Ido, nor did she know how he planned to deal with Ido. She could only obey out of habit.

Kurama Yakumo squatted in the corner, closed his eyes and covered his ears. Ido's screams were too scary. If he didn't cover his ears to reduce the noise, he might have a nightmare that night.

But this time, Iddo's screams did not come in time.

"Wait!! Stop hitting me, I give in." Ido begged for mercy, "I really can't stand it anymore, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

It's really hard to hold it together. This guy is like some kind of pervert. Give it up, give it up, just come and torture me for no reason, using all kinds of cruel tricks.

Even monsters can’t stand it!

Although Ido didn't know what this person's mental state was, being able to come into contact with his physical body was already a very terrifying thing.

"Oh." Naruto naturally didn't know what Ido was thinking, so he just responded absentmindedly, called up the panel and stared at it intently.

【Ding! 】

[Option 1: Taming Idu (Completed). Reward: Idu's Prophecy (Imprisonment), Devolution Successful.]

Seeing that the mission option was finally completed, his expression brightened. His unremitting efforts over the past month or two had finally tamed the cunning Ido.

Before Ido could react, Naruto sucked him into the sealed space and threw him into the evil god's altar.

Inside the evil god's altar.

Hydrangea's face was exhausted, having just defeated the Impure World Reincarnation Kimimaro. Kimimaro was only 10% of his peak strength at this point, but he still had been tormented for a month.

The endless stream of communal ash bones, almost all covered in weapons. In her eighteen years of life, she had never seen anyone covered in bone spurs.

She screamed in pain, and every time she recovered, it was a nightmare.

With a bang, she finally defeated Kimimaro. Wiping the nonexistent sweat from her forehead, a smile finally appeared on her tired face.

She could finally take a break and get away from that damned guy.

They say a summoner of a summoned beast must be more powerful than the beast. Bah! If I were more powerful than the beast, why would I summon a beast?

Hydrangea was criticizing Naruto in her heart when she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow falling from the sky. With a thud, it fell to the ground like a weak chicken.

At the same time, Naruto's mean voice sounded in the air.

"Brave summoner, you can't rest yet."

"I *******" Hydrangea was completely furious. She threw the kunai to the ground and sent a telegram to Naruto with a red face to greet him.

Fortunately, Naruto pulled away in time and didn't hear Hydrangea's 60-second live voice. These seconds were just the limit of the girl's cognition of swear words, not that her resentment only lasted seconds.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and said to Kurama Yakumo in front of him.

"The matter of Ido has been completely resolved. I will come to see you tomorrow. It's almost time, so you should prepare yourself."

"Okay." Kurama Yakumo had no objection, his rebellious nature was long gone.

Naruto was quite satisfied with this. No matter how naughty a middle school girl is, she will still cry and behave herself under the iron fist of justice.

This world is indeed very free, and power is supreme.

After leaving Satomigaoka Villa, Naruto suddenly stopped midway, as if he had thought of something. He stared at a small tree and cursed.

"If it weren't for Danzo, I wouldn't be so anxious to pull away from the Nine-Tails. If it weren't for Danzo, Hinata and Ino wouldn't have such a strained relationship. If it weren't for Danzo... it's all that old dog Danzo's fault!"

Chapter 338 Even if the heart is as vast as the ocean, the words spoken out are still gentle and drizzling

When he returned home, he saw Jiuwei lying on the sofa in a melancholy state, looking listless. He ignored it and went into the kitchen to get some water.

A one-month ban on alcohol means that Naruto will no longer provide the Nine-Tails with any alcohol, but it also does not restrict it from finding ways to drink on its own.

But no matter what, the wine we got was only enough to satisfy our cravings.

The next day.

When Naruto woke up and washed up, he passed by the living room and saw the Nine-Tails twisting and turning restlessly. It looked at him for no reason, but immediately retreated after being discovered.

"You're in heat, you bastard!" Naruto cursed.

"You're the one in heat!" Nine-Tailed Fox lost all his airs and pointed at him with his claws. "I have a suggestion. About a month of abstinence. Are you interested?"

"Not interested." Naruto raised an eyebrow and touched his hair which was not yet dry. "Do I look like a person without principles? There is nothing to say."

"I plan to let you meet that stupid owner. I have a way to make you..." Jiuwei was stunned for a moment, "Well, if that's the case, then forget it."

"Wait, I think principles can be flexible. Rules are something that should be strict with oneself and lenient with others." Naruto coughed.

At noon, the sun rises three poles high.

"So, are you clear?" Naruto was explaining the pros and cons of various evil god altars to Kurama Yakumo, and there was nothing to hide.

Kurama Yakumo nodded and hummed.

This was her own choice, and she didn't take Naruto's words about suffering a little bit of physical pain to heart. No matter what, she wanted to become a ninja.

This is the meaning of her life and the greatest motivation that keeps her going.

"Since you know everything, I won't waste any more time." Naruto reached out and grasped the teacup, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, which made Kurama Yakumo's eyelids twitch.

This guy is ruthless in everything he does, and Kurama Yakumo is still afraid of Naruto.

"Let's start." He said, and directly put Kurama Yakumo into the sealed space, then turned around and threw him into the evil god's altar.

The Evil God's followers had been reduced from target 10 to target 8. Mission 3 was already one-fifth complete, so with a little more effort, we could probably get there faster.

If there were no control options, he could have easily found a bunch of insignificant characters to fill in the gaps. But after discovering the control options, he was excited, and the rewards for Mission 3 suddenly became more impressive.

He could easily use the evil god's skin to create the Uzumaki Tenniang Clan, which would just complete Task 2 for him. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were all his younger brothers.

When I have time, I will definitely take all their ninja swords for myself.

Of course, it was just a playful thought, he hadn't really thought about getting the Uzumaki Tenniang Clan. It was just that the first three were women, so it was a natural idea that came to him.

If he didn't have time in the future, he would probably hire him as an assistant if he found someone suitable. He wouldn't have to run around everywhere anymore, and could just sit at home like Nagato while his men traveled around.

As long as he could lie down and enjoy himself without having to be a savior, and trouble wouldn't affect him, that would be enough.

As he was thinking, Naruto was suddenly stunned. Damn, did he not get in?

Could it be that Kurama Yakumo has been beaten to the point of mental breakdown?

He hurriedly sank his consciousness into the sealed space, ignoring the two wooden figures in the cage, and went directly into the evil god's altar shrouded in gray mist.

"Ah!!! Stop fighting!"

"are you crazy!"

The expected scene of Kurama Yakumo being beaten did not appear. Instead, Hydrangea and Ido were seen fighting back and forth, with tears in their eyes.

He was clearly begging for mercy, but his body instinctively engaged in battle.

Kurama Yakumo stood aside, looking at the scene, slightly dazed. He seemed to be at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Naruto sighed, casually picked up a piece of Bai's ashes, and directly resurrected Bai through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Okay, 2v2, let’s fight.

As for whether Kurama Yakumo will face Ido or Shiro, that's a question he needs to consider. Anyway, there won't be any deaths at the Evil God Altar, so feel free to fight.

The more he thought about it, the more Naruto felt like he was raising a Gu. Fortunately, the strength of the Impure World Reincarnated was fixed; in other words, they were just a whetstone for Yakumo Kurama and Hydrangea.

After withdrawing his consciousness from the sealed space, he quietly slipped away from the extremely silent Satomiyama Villa.

In the afternoon, he and Choji made an appointment to have tea alone. It was mainly Choji who invited Naruto. The little fat boy seemed a little nervous, and his whole body revealed a sense of anxiety.

"Chouji, if you need to pee urgently, you can go to the toilet. If you really can't, a bottle will do." Naruto put down the teacup, "We are all men, so it is understandable that we need to pee frequently and urgently."

Dingci is also an honest man. He defended himself with a grunt, "I'm not."

"Naruto, Shikamaru is getting married soon."

"Yeah, I know." He responded, "What's wrong?"

"Do you still remember? Shikamaru used to..."

"Chouji, stop beating around the bush. If you don't get down to business, I'm leaving." Naruto muttered, "I'm very busy right now. I have to see Hinata tonight."

Even though his friends are probably aware of the complicated relationship between him, Ino, and Hinata, there are some things he can tell Choji but not Shikamaru.

Maybe it's because Choji is tight-lipped and they have a closer relationship. Choji is a kind-hearted guy who can't bear to see Ino sad, nor does he want to let down his best friend.

"It's not good for you to do this, Naruto. If Ino knew..."

"Why don't you just not say it? Heaven and earth know, you know, and I know." Naruto said, "Okay, tell me your story, hurry up, don't dilly-dally."

"Well... you know Shikamaru and I are in similar situations and are getting married soon." Choji said awkwardly, "So..."

"Oh, good to get married," Naruto agreed absentmindedly, clearly lacking any sincerity.

"So, what difficulties did you encounter?" he asked tentatively.

"That's about right. I'm actually...actually a little panicked." Choji said, "We're getting married all of a sudden, but our relationship is still at...still."

His eyelids twitched as he stared at Choji, gradually figuring out what was going on. This young man was eager to make a move, yet hesitant.

"Holding hands?" he asked.

"That's not the case. I've already done that." Shikamaru shook his head.

"Physical contact?"

"Does a hug count?"

"Oh~" Naruto suddenly realized, and seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and made a gesture to Choji that all men understood. Choji blushed immediately.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shikamaru felt a little embarrassed.

"Just tell me if you have it?"

"No." Shikamaru returned to his old self, lowering his head and grunting, mumbling something.

"Chouji, you're going too far. We all agreed to communicate together without reservation, but you're hiding here." Naruto pretended to be angry.
