In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Can Loulan really..." She stood up, her breathing becoming rapid. "Really... can it really be restored?"

"Okay." Naruto said in a steady voice, "I will give you my greatest support. In fact, it is not difficult to restore Loulan's national system."

"We are only short of manpower at the moment. I can handle the rest. So, rather than a ninja, perhaps restoring the Loulan system requires a wise queen."

Naruto has his own considerations. At present, he occupies four small countries headed by the Rain Country, and has never thought about recuperating there. He is just a pawn to contain the five major countries.

The Snow Country can be considered a large rear base for him, which will definitely be useful in the future. He has long since stopped trusting Konoha. Supporting small countries to control large countries is a good idea for Naruto.

Anyway, the nobles have inexhaustible wealth, so they can just use some of it to do something more beneficial to them.

"I... then I won't learn ninjutsu. I'll choose something else." Sarah seemed to become excited, and her eyes shone with a strange light.

The huge surprise completely diluted the nervousness in her heart and made Sarah suddenly remember what she was going to do today.

She suddenly sat down shyly, looking down at the table and thinking for a while.

The three of them changed the subject and after dinner, Nohara Nao suggested going for a walk outside. Naruto and Sarah had no objection and changed their shoes before heading out.

The streets were still bustling. Nohara and Nao were walking in front and whispering to each other, while Naruto lagged behind slightly.

"Sarah, if you want to restore your country, I will go with you."

"I'd love to, but...isn't Konoha your hometown?" Sarah asked hesitantly, "Loulan is very far from Konoha. Do you really want to go?"

"That doesn't matter. It's not bad to stay away from Konoha." Nohara Nao said nonchalantly, "Most of the family and friends I knew have disappeared in the past twenty years. I no longer have any feelings for Konoha."

"The reason I agreed to cross the dragon vein and come to the future was because I couldn't stand Konoha's constant wars. I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to be cannon fodder for the village anymore."

"Look, I'm neither weak nor strong. They asked me to intercept the enemy's elite troops' food and logistics. Isn't that asking me to die?"

"Anyway, I don't need a village. I just want to be with you."

"Okay, me too." Sarah smiled innocently, "Then Loulan not only needs one queen, but now it needs two queens."

"That's fine. I also want to experience what it's like to be a queen."

There was one thing Nohara Nao didn't say. She knew she couldn't keep Naruto down on her own, and she also knew Sarah had no choice. If she had to rely on Naruto to restore her country, she would have no other choice but to become...

If the two of them stayed together, at least Naruto would remember her. If they were really separated, Naruto and she would only see each other once every six months, which was not what she wanted.

On the other side, Naruto had an idea of ​​what was going to happen next, and estimating that the time was about right, the three of them returned to their residence.

What happened next became very procedural. The two girls went to wash up together, while Naruto leaned on the sofa and read comics to pass the time.

After the two girls came out, Naruto went to take a shower again. Then the three of them were silent and did their own things.

The red candle burned slowly, and the night gradually darkened.

Later in the night.

After getting up, Naruto walked to the window. The red candle had burned down. He turned his head and glanced behind him. Seeing that no one had woken up, he opened a corner of the window and looked out at the deserted Tansho Street.

Dawn was breaking in the distance, and he squinted his eyes. Even though he hadn't slept all night, his body was still refreshed.

It is really difficult for him to judge the relay race format, he can only say that it is indeed fresher.

However, this did cause some problems with his body, but fortunately it was not too strong, about ten times that of a normal ninja.

Since when did he become stronger and his body became stronger as well?

If it were someone else, they would probably be running around in ecstasy, and maybe even pull the Nine-Tailed Fox up and down to try out a Tailed Beast Ball to see where the limit of their body is.

But Naruto is not that kind of person. He relied on the system to complete the task purely to become stronger and to lie flat. Lying flat has a wide range of meanings, but in simple terms, there are only a few.

If the price of physical sanctification is that he can't do it, then he'd rather not do it. You can't just pull a hundred people over every time you feel like it, and then...

It sounds impressive to say that hundreds of people are doing this, but in practice it's like running a factory assembly line. If you're just chasing that moment of happiness, it's totally not worth it.

Excessiveness will quickly make something that is originally very interesting lose its fun, and Naruto is determined to abandon this behavior.

And his response was... to distribute the power, to distribute the chakra he obtained to the greatest extent possible, while giving up most of the chakra, he got one step closer to happiness.

Naruto planned to actively weaken himself, retaining only a small amount of chakra. If he encountered a difficult enemy, he would directly use forbidden techniques in close combat.

He didn't want to join the glorious evolution. Whoever wanted to evolve could do so.

As early as two years ago, he had discovered that excessive chakra density in the body would lead to higher bloodline purity, and the direct manifestation was that the body inexplicably became stronger.

There’s nothing wrong with being a little stronger, but the main thing is that if a man is too strong, it’s foreseeable that he will lose interest in women.

This was even more painful than killing him, so when he found the opportunity, he decisively chose the gift from the evil god. Divide it out, divide it all out. After all, there wouldn't be much left after dividing it into ten parts.

After a while of the cool breeze, Naruto couldn't help but think that relay races were indeed very smooth. No wonder there were so many resources on relay races before the time travel. If it had been so popular for so long, there must be a reason for its existence.

The next day.

Sarah moved to the bathroom with some difficulty and began to wash. Looking at herself in the mirror, she almost subconsciously reached out to smooth her hair and put it up.

Suddenly, the girlish hairstyle transformed into a more mature bun, and Sarah couldn't help but squint her eyes. For some reason, it seemed that this hairstyle suited her better.

"Can't you stay one more day?"

As soon as Sarah came out of the bathroom, she heard Nao Nohara's voice. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Naruto seemed to have something to do and was ready to leave.

"I was supposed to leave yesterday, but I really had something to do. Be good, I'll be back soon. By the way...you guys should pack up too, it's almost time to leave."

He put down the glass of water, glanced at Sarah who came out of the bathroom, and said to Nao Nohara who was standing in front of him with a lost look on her face.

"Seven or eight days at most, three or five at least. I will definitely come back and take you to the ancient kingdom of Loulan."

"Shall we go look for the remnants of Loulan first?" Sarah said with a red face. She was afraid of embarrassment and dared not move. She felt a slight stinging sensation with every step she took.

Thinking about the initial discussion about the relay race last night, she couldn't help but feel a little... frustrated as she was competing for the first time.

"Don't look for one. Just build a temporary residence. When the manpower arrives, mark out the land and start building the city." Naruto had obviously thought about it in his mind a long time ago and said it very fluently.

"As for the manpower and funds for building the city, I'll arrange it. As for the population, we'll see how many of the Loulan survivors can return. I'll also arrange for people to migrate here. Anyway..."

"Everything has to start from scratch, so don't be too impatient. The environment may be a little worse at the beginning, but it will be much better after the temporary housing is built."

"Yeah." Sara nodded obediently. She was not anxious. Naruto's response made her feel at ease. "I'm not afraid of hardship. I can endure it."

Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but look at Sarah more, thinking that you are indeed very good at endurance.

"Can't you stay one more day? I have prepared..." Nao Nohara stood on tiptoe, suddenly smiled and leaned close to Naruto's ear, speaking in a sweet voice.

"Special program."

After hearing this, Naruto turned his head and stared at Nao Nohara, with a hint of struggle in his eyes. After thinking about it, he finally said helplessly.

"I really want to stay, but I have something else to do and I can't delay. Next time, next time for sure."

~~

Hidden Cloud, front line.

Kirabi reluctantly got on the carriage for the return trip. The negotiations among the five major countries had come to an end and there was no need to use force to deter others.

The interests have already been divided, and it would be impolite to shake it again.

If all went well, Kirabi would be back in Kumogakure for several more years, unable to leave the village even if he got bored. It was like being in prison, finally getting out, and now he had to go back again.

Sitting in the rickety carriage, Kirabi looked out the window at the scenery with a slightly greedy look. Almost out of nowhere, a sentence he had heard from somewhere flashed through his mind.

"It seems like we can go home now that we've won the war, but I don't know when I'll be able to come out again. Maybe I won't be able to come out again."

"Small villages are pretty boring, aren't they?"

"Am I going to stay in the village again, suffering day after day? What's the meaning of living? Ah! I'm confused, so confused!"

Sitting in the narrow carriage, Killer Bee felt more and more uncomfortable. He couldn't help but use ninjutsu to transform an octopus-tailed clone to stay in the carriage, and his real body slipped out of the carriage quietly.

When he first escaped, Killer Bee was extremely nervous, fearing that his escape would be leaked and he would be punished by the Fourth Raikage. However, the further he ran, the more he left all his worries behind.

The smile on his face grew wider, and not far away, Naruto's smile also grew wider.

"It's worth my patience. In the end, you couldn't stand the loneliness and ran away. Now you are all alone." He muttered to himself as he fell slowly behind Kirabi.

"What are you going to do now, Kirabi?"

boom!

The sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. Kirabi looked up and paused. In the distance stretched an endless expanse of mountains and forests, now completely covered by dark clouds.

Before he knew it, Kirabi had arrived at a strange forest he had never been to before. Almost subconsciously, he looked back and jumped away at lightning speed.

"Who!?" Kirabi shouted, looking around vigilantly.

"Hello again, Killer Bee." Naruto, with a face like Sasuke, slowly walked out from behind a big tree with an irrepressible sinister smile on his face.

Chapter 555: Tayuya finally saw the person he wanted to see, like a high fever, ushering in the long-awaited medicine

When Killer Bee saw that the person coming was Sasuke, he immediately got ready for battle.

"Uchiha Sasuke? Why are you here?"

"I've been following you for a long time, Killer Bee." Naruto grinned, "If you know what's good for you, just stand there and don't make any meaningless resistance."

The two of them didn't say anything too much nonsense, and the fight began five seconds after they met.

Killer Bee, transformed into a half-tailed beast, roared and rushed towards Sasuke like lightning. As he was drawing his sword, he suddenly noticed seven or eight golden chains coming towards him...

The King Kong Blockade plus the Evil God's lackeys, a whole set of forbidden techniques were thrown over, which directly stunned Killer Bee.

Originally, he thought of trying out the half-tailed beast transformation and running away immediately if something went wrong. But now, no matter how he looked at it, something seemed amiss, it was simply too outrageous.

That's not how you fight, right? If you have that kind of ability, why are you following Yilu? In the last second before passing out, Kirabi still had a lot to say.

Naruto put away the Diamond Seal and did not approach Killer Bee directly. He knew very well that people like Killer Bee who had experienced two wars were the most cunning.

Maybe she was pretending to faint, waiting for him to get close so she could launch a sneak attack and then escape.

So, he directly threw an evil god's lackey over, intending to pull out the tailed beast from Killer Bee's body from a distance of seven or eight meters.

Fortunately, Killer Bee was not pretending to be unconscious. The evil god's lackey was put on him, and after a while, he began to extract the Eight-tailed Ushiki. The blood-red Eight-tailed chakra continued to flow out of Killer Bee's body and was finally absorbed into the evil god's lackey.

He waited for a long time before hearing the news that the negotiations between the five major countries were completed. He had been hiding for some time just for this moment. Only by getting rid of Killer Bee would the two Yuki have a chance to become the fifth Raikage.

After today, there will be no more ab combination.

As for any contributions, merits on the battlefield, etc., Naruto is not worried at all. Kabuto Yakushi is dead, but Kaguya Otsutsuki has not been resurrected yet.

When Kaguya Otsutsuki is resurrected, it will be his time to step back behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the Eight-Tails' chakra extraction process. Killer Bee was still unconscious. The evil god's lackey was steadily extracting the Eight-Tails' chakra, and estimated that it would be completed in ten minutes.

He followed Killer Bee all the way to the edge of the old forest in the wilderness, and he was not worried that someone would jump out from somewhere and interrupt his plan to extract the Eight-Tails.

The day of his retirement plan was drawing near. He only needed to gather the Eight Tails and the One Tails. Meanwhile, he continued to borrow money from the nobles of the Five Great Powers to support the Four Small Powers.

At the same time, he quietly built the Snow Kingdom and the Ancient Kingdom of Loulan as his rear base, so that he could retire at any time to recuperate and have fun.

After fighting for so many years, can't we enjoy ourselves?

After extracting the Nine-Tails from Killer Bee, he planned to first find Tsunade and explain things clearly. Finally, when Black Zetsu gathered all the tailed beasts, he would secretly extract the One-Tailed Sand Shukaku.

It is estimated that Black Zetsu will not be able to gather all the tailed beasts so quickly for the time being, so he can take advantage of this free time to arrange all matters.

Ten minutes later, Yabi looked at his shrunken body in disbelief. Killer Bee was still unconscious and showed no signs of waking up.

"What did you do to me?" asked Yabi!

"Being a dog, isn't it exciting?" Naruto looked indifferent. He had a natural suppressive power over the tailed beasts imprisoned by the evil god's lackeys. He raised his hand and the eight-tailed beast immediately fell down.

"You!!! Uzumaki Naruto! How dare you do this to me!"

"What? You don't accept it?" Naruto said with a hint of sneer, "The Nine-Tails was much more ferocious than you in the past. You can be more arrogant."

"Nine Lamas?"

"Well, he's living a much more carefree life than you are now." Naruto smiled, without even looking at Killer Bee who was lying unconscious on the ground, "He has food and drink, and can go anywhere."

"He's the same, a slave to humans." Eight-Tails said stubbornly, "I have a very good temper with that kid Killer Bee, he's much better than Kurama."

"The difference is huge. At least he is worshipped, while you are just a weapon to Kumogakure." Naruto chuckled, "Don't kid yourself. How many years can Killer Bee live?"

"You keep changing Jinchūriki, but in the end, they're just using you as a tool, and you're still here satisfying yourself..."

Eight-tailed: “….”

The Eight-Tails was forced to be restrained by the evil god's lackeys and found that it had no power to resist. After being silent for dozens of seconds, it was taken into the sealed space by Naruto.

Within the sealed space.

Nibi Matataru looked up and saw his new neighbor, and was unexpectedly happy.
