In Konoha, Naruto lies down

After all, as long as he wanted, it was not impossible for him to give Ōnoki a great-grandson.

But Naruto found Kurotsuchi troublesome, and since he didn't need to interact with Ōnoki at the moment, there was no conflict of purpose. It was simply about promoting cooperation, specifically, promoting cooperation in genetic medical ninjutsu.

After all this trouble, Kurotsuchi finally calmed down and sat there silently wiping the yogurt off his hair with a tissue. He no longer dared to glare at Naruto with hatred, but remained silent with his lips pursed.

"Look at you, you have to go to this point. It will be so ugly if we break up." Naruto squatted there, sliding his fingers across the screen, browsing the photos he had just taken.

"I came to Iwagakure to discuss cooperation with sincerity, and there was no way I could avoid you. It would be great if we could just get along. This is just some small collaboration, and we'll all share the results."

"As a result, you insisted on doing this. The locals are just impolite. Oh, it's really troublesome. It has become like this."

Kurotsuchi looked up and stared at Naruto for a few moments.

"You didn't even say what the collaboration was about, so who knows?"

"Did you ask?"

"You didn't say anything!" Heitu said aggrievedly.

"Why don't you ask first! That's really... unreasonable."

"I mentioned it, but you didn't say anything!"

"You didn't even ask, and with that attitude I thought you were deliberately causing trouble!" Naruto slapped his head, "It seems like this is all a misunderstanding. Let's see what to do."

He acted like a scoundrel and pretended to be distressed.

"Sorry, I was so rude. This...why don't you just go wash it?"

Hearing this, Heitu couldn't hold back any longer. He had never seen such a scoundrel since he was a child. He had originally thought that he was willful enough, but he ended up running into such a scoundrel.

She felt so wronged, she had never suffered such injustice before.

Unfortunately, Naruto didn't believe in tears. He kept saying it was a misunderstanding and crying sorry, but he kept staring at the photo.

Heitu suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, as if whatever he said would be like a punch on cotton.

"Okay, okay, since it's just a misunderstanding, let's get down to business." He casually threw the handle of Heitu's photo into the sealed space and said as if nothing had happened.

Kurotsuchi: “????”

By the time Naruto finished speaking, Kurotsuchi no longer dared to object. Although she didn't know why the other party wanted to study genes or what their special purpose was, she still had to complete the mission.

"It's not a big deal, and the old man won't object." Heitu agreed immediately, "But... why are you doing this?"

"Do you believe me when I say we're preparing for a rainy day? Even if I tell you, you wouldn't understand. We're using this to deal with aliens."

"Aliens? Where do the aliens come from?" Heitu was stunned.

"I've already told you, but you won't understand even if I tell you. See, you don't understand anymore." Naruto didn't want to explain to Kurotsuchi at all, so he said, "It's useless to tell you, so I won't tell you."

Heitu: “….”

"Do you think I'm a fool? Even if you don't want to tell me, at least make up a decent excuse."

Naruto said he didn't want to talk to a fool, and left immediately after explaining the matter. He had prepared himself mentally before coming here, expecting Kurotsuchi to be troublesome, but fortunately it didn't take too much effort.

The feudal level of the Land of Earth is much more serious than that of the other four major countries. Ohnoki is almost like a local emperor in Iwagakure, and Kurotsuchi is the hereditary queen.

Konoha.

Kakashi and Konoha's honeymoon period had long ended, but the mess caused by the top management led to a further rupture in Naruto's relationship with Konoha.

This actually gave Kakashi an opportunity to avoid a tantrum. After the meeting, the high-ranking officials who jumped high were taken away one by one by the Anbu.

Perhaps it had something to do with Nohara Rin, but after the meeting, Kakashi's tactics became more forceful. He skipped the usual procedures and sent people directly to the homes of the top brass to drop off evidence of their affair. All of them were arrested and dismissed overnight.

More than a hundred Anbu members, holding torches, fully armed and wearing white animal masks, surrounded the residences of the senior executives.

At first, those people were still loudly scolding the Anbu, until the sharp blades were unsheathed, and those high-ranking officials finally shut up. The high-ranking official who led the riot was even colder than usual, kneeling on the ground as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

The man was pinned to the ground with a dull look in his eyes, squinting at the ANBU captain, Uzuki Yugao. "Frame someone, use such dirty tricks, what's your mother's name?"

The Anbu's movements were so fast and urgent that ordinary villagers didn't even hear the slightest sound. One or two hundred Anbu were running around in the Konoha area, jumping on the rooftops.

After capturing those high-ranking officials, the subordinates would naturally be slaughtered. Capturing high-ranking officials required evidence, and Kakashi had already perfected this.

But to catch those little Karami who are secretly communicating with the nobles of the Land of Fire and intending to subvert the foundation of the Konoha Village, we don’t need any evidence at all, we just need a list.

Who will listen to their explanation? Just save your words for the Sage of Six Paths.

Overnight, Konoha was in turmoil.

Even when Tsunade was the fifth generation, there was no such big move. But during the reign of the most moderate sixth generation, a high-ranking official was arrested for the first time.

The night Naruto left, the flash of swords and the sound of screams shattered the thick darkness. The evidence was collected at the scene, and the handprints were made after the murder. It was sent to the Hokage's office with the utmost urgency.

Shikamaru was forced to work an extra night, staying up all night with Kakashi. The ANBU completed the paperwork, and the Hokage's office immediately approved it, the cinnabar still bright red.

The swords of the Anbu were like rain, fast and fierce, shocking all the villains overnight. The last time Konoha had a large-scale bloodshed was on the night of the Uchiha clan's genocide.

The next morning, the blood on the streets had already been washed away. Everything seemed as if nothing had happened, with only a few people who knew the truth being shocked by the news.

Chapter 493: Want to Learn the Art of Multiplication

It was the next day when Naruto found out about this. When he returned to Konoha, he suddenly found that the usually lazy Kakashi was suddenly possessed by Danzo and took care of all those scum.

It’s fun, but I don’t feel involved at all.

He squatted on the big bluestone under the tree like an old farmer, stroking his chin in thought, and from time to time glanced at the wealthy-looking Shikamaru, which made Shikamaru feel scared.

"Are you sick? You've been staring at me for so long!"

"Chouji, are we good brothers?" Naruto asked slowly, his tone rare and serious.

"No, get out of here." Shikamaru had already been tricked into having a conditioned reflex.

"What you said is too heartless. If you come to me for help in the future, have you ever thought about the consequences, Shikamaru?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"Please?" Dingci curled his lips, "I would never beg you even if I kill myself."

"Really? Young man, you are still too young." He stood up in a very coquettish manner, squinting his eyes and looking at the long mossy stairs in front of him.

This is a long stone staircase, surrounded by moss-covered cliffs and lined with houses on both sides. The shop is at the top of the stone staircase, next to a large green tree.

Naruto stood up and looked down at the whole of Konoha, the wind blowing past.

"What do you mean?" Shikamaru turned his head and looked at him, but he was a little disapproving. He might really ask him for help in the future, but definitely not now.

"I have enough food, clothes, and money, so why should I ask you for help?"

"Chouji, Choji, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn." He patted Choji's shoulder in a serious tone, sighed and said, "Very good, very good."

Shikamaru became more and more confused, not knowing what Naruto was up to.

"Yesterday Ino told me that your wife seems to have a problem with you recently, and asked me to teach you a lesson and stop hanging around outside all day."

"Is it true?" Shikamaru half believed it, but didn't react much.

This kind of beating was not worth mentioning to him at all. As long as he behaved better during this period, it would be fine. What would happen in the future would be the same.

"Do I have to lie to you?" Naruto saw that Shikamaru looked indifferent.

"Oh." Choji was unimpressed. "So what?"

"Guess why Ino came to your house yesterday?" Naruto suddenly smiled.

"Why?" Shikamaru was a little confused, and suddenly he had a bad feeling in his heart, as if he had forgotten something important.

Yesterday he went to watch the fun, and since it was too late he simply slept in the Hokage Building. He witnessed the entire process of the Anbu dealing with all those people, capturing some and killing others.

I hadn't gotten enough sleep at noon when Naruto dragged me out to drink soda in this secluded place.

"Because...yesterday was your wife's birthday, and you weren't there." Naruto stroked his chin and said in amazement, "Ino came to me this morning and asked me to remind you to be mentally prepared."

"Ah!!!" Shikamaru's heart sank as he jumped up, his face visibly pale. "What... is it over! It's over!"

Seeing this, Naruto grinned and patted his shoulder.

"No, it's just a small one."

"What should we do?" Choji grabbed Naruto's arm and shook it violently, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. "Yesterday... yesterday I went to watch the fun!"

"What brothel?" Naruto looked shocked.

Choji's hands trembled and his lips trembled as he looked at Naruto.

"Don't...don't kick me when I'm down! It's okay at any other time, but not now, or I'll really die!"

"Just kidding." Naruto clapped his hands, "Alright, figure it out yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go!" Choji quickly grabbed Naruto and said, "Help me think of a solution. Hey, you can't just stand by and watch someone die. We are good brothers."

"You just said..." Naruto deliberately made fun of Qiao.

"Pfft, I was just talking nonsense." Dingci was a little desperate. "As long as you help me get through this difficult time, I will agree to anything you say!"

"It's a deal then." Naruto showed a sly smile on his face.

.......

"Have you found the Rinnegan?" asked Kabuto Yakushi in a hoarse voice. His body was a little hunched, and his whole body was hidden under a wide robe.

"No." Black Zetsu smiled grimly, "Uchiha Obito's two Samsara eyes have been completely destroyed. Don't think about it anymore. They are completely gone."

"Then what should we do?" Yakushi Kabuto said with some dissatisfaction, "Without the Rinnegan, how can we control the army of the Impure World Reincarnation? Apart from the Rinnegan, there is almost no other way to control it."

"The disappearance of the pair of Rinnegan on Obito's body does not mean that the Rinnegan has completely disappeared." Black Zetsu walked out of the darkness with a calm expression.

"What do you mean?"

"Before Uchiha Obito set out, he left behind a clone. The Samsara Eye has been absorbing the clone's life force as nutrients. Now it's time for it to mature."

"Can the Rinnegan absorb life?" Kabuto Yakushi was a little surprised.

"That's not the real Samsara Eye, but... it can be used." Black Zetsu's voice was cold. "Now it can only be transplanted. I think it's time for you to make a choice."

"Although your current appearance is not bad, the real power is the Samsara Eye. As long as you master the power of the Samsara Eye, the entire ninja world will not be your opponent."

"More importantly, you can get Uchiha Sasuke. Even Orochimaru didn't get him. Don't you want to complete what Orochimaru didn't finish? This is an opportunity."

After listening to Black Zetsu's words, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes rolled around, but he was not fooled.

"Haha, will the cloned Rinnegan turn people into puppets? I see." He smiled hoarsely and glanced at Black Zetsu.

"I'm a little curious about what your purpose is?" Kabuto Yakushi turned and faced Black Zetsu. Since Nagato was dead, Uchiha Obito was also dead.

"In the entire Akatsuki organization, you and Konan are the only ones left alive, right? Konan's purpose is already very clear. She's probably already involved with Uzumaki Naruto."

"Then what is your purpose?"

Hearing this, Black Zetsu was silent for a moment, then looked up at Kabuto Yakushi for several seconds without saying anything. Half a minute later, he slowly spoke, his tone cold.

"Does it matter?"

"You have your purpose, and I naturally have mine. However, if we're collaborating, there's no need to get to know me in such detail. It won't do any good for our cooperation."

"But our enemy is Uzumaki Naruto, I'm just more cautious." Kabuto Yakushi laughed sinisterly, like the voice of a crow.

In the dark cave, as he paced, the snake's tail slid across the ground, making a rustling sound.

"Uzumaki Naruto?" Black Zetsu paused. "That man is indeed a bit tricky. He acts illogically and is extremely destructive."

Extremely destructive? Is that all?

Kabuto Yakushi shook out all the memories of Uzumaki Naruto in his mind. The shadow that madman brought to him was too strong, even though he now had the power of Orochimaru and the Sage.

"This time, Uzumaki Naruto must die."

"Of course he must die!" Black Zetsu said firmly.

"But what if he is prepared?" Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but ask. Apart from his cautious character, he also knew that Uzumaki Naruto was not an ordinary ninja.

He had so many back-up plans, and he was extremely cautious. He was the kind of madman who would prepare a backup knife for his backup knife. He didn't believe the other party was prepared.

"You've already been exposed once. Now that he's discovered your existence, he'll naturally see you as a threat." Yakushi Kabuto analyzed calmly, "With Uzumaki Naruto's personality, he might be preparing to deal with you now."

"Perhaps, but I don't plan to attack him anymore. This time, the killer move is you." Black Zetsu said, "Even if he is an immortal, he would never have thought that you would grow to this level."

"To be honest, even I am a little surprised. You are stronger than Orochimaru before. You can definitely do what Orochimaru can't do..."

With a bang, Yakushi Kabuto turned his face without warning and swept over with the snake's tail.

Black Zetsu anticipated this and leaped away. The snake's tail slammed heavily against the cave wall, and with a loud bang, the rock wall began to disintegrate.

Rumble! As the cave collapsed, a section of the mountainside began to sink.
