In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"I thought that idiot Jiu Lama would be the first to come in, but I didn't expect it to be you, Niu Gui."

"When were you caught?" Niu Gui asked sullenly, obviously not in a good mood. On the one hand, he felt that what Naruto said made sense, but on the other hand, he was worried that Killer Bee would die.

The Eight-Tails was not worried about its own safety. At most, it would be imprisoned for a period of time. After all, the tailed beasts were immortal. On the contrary, human lifespans were very short. It would take a good sleep and wake up to see the light of day again.

It's just a pity that he finally met a human being with a temper that matched his. He died like this.

"I'm not sure. There's no concept of time here, so it shouldn't be long." Niwei Matatabi said, "But humans are really not good people. I was betrayed by that woman!"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter where you stay." The Eight-Tailed Ushio-ki suddenly said, "Humans are indeed unreliable. I won't trust them anymore."

"But do you know what Kurama is doing?" Yao asked.

"What happened to Kurama?" Erwei was a little confused.

"He has been completely assimilated by his own kind, no, he is even more cunning than humans." The Eight-Tails told the Nine-Tails what he saw last time on the battlefield, and immediately got the support of the Two-Tails Matatabi.

"Bah, he's simply the scum of the tailed beasts!"

"Scum!"

The two tailed beasts cursed at the Nine-Tails through the railings, but after a while, they became bored and silence fell between the two tailed beasts again.

After a while, Niwei Matatake suddenly said something.

"I really want to go out and take a look."

"yes......"

On the other hand, Naruto didn't care what the tailed beasts were thinking. They were just a ball of immortal chakra. Their purpose was to revive Kaguya or be used in war.

No matter which point it is, it is not of any benefit to the ninja world.

Ninja beasts do have intelligence, and Naruto is no saint. Compared to humans, the tailed beasts are actually not bad off, and they have suffered enough.

No one would stand up and say that the tailed beasts should be free, so that they can run freely on the grass. If there are such people, they can no longer be called saints, but are simply thugs.

Naruto only believed in one thing: to treat himself as an ordinary person first, and then to consider the interests of the people he cared about. If the tailed beasts didn't get in the way, then he would just ignore them.

It is obvious that the freedom of the tailed beasts is a disaster for ordinary people.

Before leaving, Naruto first sent a signal to Erni Yukito through the air, telling her that he had successfully extracted the Eight-Tails from Killer Bee's body.

The current Kirabi is just an ordinary jonin, not much different from her before. As for Kirabi, she was unconscious and thrown into the woods. If someone is sent to look for her, there is a high probability that she can be found.

For this purpose, he specially gave the two wooden men an approximate coordinate, but he had no control over how the wooden men would use the coordinate.

After passing through the Yellow Springs Gate, Naruto returned to Konoha as usual. He showed up at the Mountain Flower Shop and the Snow Country respectively, taking advantage of the time difference and having lunch at Ino and Hinata's places at the same time.

I ate a normal lunch. Although it was still daylight in the Snow Country, it was already dusk in Konoha. It was a perfect way to avoid wasting time and make up for the time difference.

Although this is perfect, running back and forth will get tiring in the long run. It's summer now, and Hinata can be brought back in two months.

When that time really comes, the ninja world will also usher in earth-shaking changes.

He originally thought so, but he didn't expect that a month later, there was still no movement from Black Zetsu. He didn't know what this person was doing. He even had a group of White Zetsu under his command, but he still couldn't collect all the tailed beasts.

As a result, Naruto basically did nothing for the past month. Apart from accompanying Ino and Hinata every other day, talking, eating and chatting with them, the only thing he had on hand was the plan to restore the Loulan Kingdom.

However, he mainly arranged the funds, and the manpower was purchased directly from the Wind Country. Originally, such a thing was impossible. After all, how could a superpower send people to help a small country restore its independence?

Even though this small country is extremely small in size, it cannot be called a country at all.

But who is Naruto? He has connections in the Land of Wind and can get things done. Temari mediated for a few days, and finally the top management had to agree to this matter, which was neither big nor small.

It took about half a month, and the location of the city wall of the ancient kingdom of Loulan was already marked. With the stimulus of funds, the foundations of high-rise buildings were laid in an instant.

As for its full completion, it will take at least half a year.

Sara and Nao Nohara lived in a temporary stone house. Naruto was not worried about their safety. Considering the two women's low strength, he just left the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails there.

If in danger, the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails will be authorized to obtain part or even all of the power. As long as the opponent is not an Otsutsuki, they will be beaten to death.

He promised Sarah and Nao Nohara the plan to restore Loulan, so naturally he would not just be perfunctory. He would do his best if he said he would do it.

It was true that he was short of manpower, but even so, Naruto had no intention of gathering forces. He had originally planned to retreat behind the scenes, so naturally, the lower the profile, the better.

If there weren't enough people, then one person would work as two, and two people would work as ten. It didn't matter if he was a little tired, as long as he could get through this period. He didn't trust anyone else.

He went outside to look for Tsunade several times, but in the end he still couldn't find her.

With nothing to do, he could only wander around the construction site of Yuyin. As a result, he had more time to see Sakura. A month passed by in bits and pieces.

In the meantime, he met Tayuya, and was a little surprised that Tayuya had been in the Land of Fire for almost two months.

Tance Street, midsummer.

At first light, the two of them walked along the street. Naruto suggested they go to a unique breakfast place. Wet dew clung to the plastic sheds beside the street, and the heavy sound of their footsteps was particularly jarring in the quiet street.

There were always rustling sounds all around, which constantly disturbed Tayuya's mind, making her a little anxious and unable to concentrate on her thoughts.

This was an old habit she developed during her travels. When she wandered to some extremely dangerous places, she needed to be prepared to draw her sword and fight even when she was asleep.

The high level of tension caused her to suffer from tinnitus over a long period of time.

Even in a quiet room, she could sometimes hear rustling sounds like insects. When the sound became louder and louder, she would wake up immediately.

"Why didn't you look for me when you came back?" he asked subconsciously.

"I looked for you, but I couldn't find you." Tayuya looked confused. "I heard you were on the battlefield, so I went there and looked for you but couldn't find you."

"Um... I should have left for something at that time." Naruto was a little embarrassed. He was often running around at that time, and most people couldn't find him.

"I stayed on the battlefield for half a month. When I heard we won, I returned to the Land of Fire." Tayu said slowly, "I was planning to sneak into Konoha to look for you, but at the entrance of the village I met a strange man in green clothes. He said you weren't in the village."

"I went back to Tanju Street, and you know what happened next."

"So, you've been waiting for me in Tansho Street?" Naruto was a little surprised, thinking that when he went back to Tansho Street to go shopping with Sara and the others, Tayuya should not have come back yet.

Fortunately, otherwise I would have died.

"Yes, I knew you would come to see me." Tayuya smiled, her long fiery red hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked extremely satisfied.

Naruto couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, thinking that he really deserved to die. But then he changed his mind and decided to forget it. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.

I have been a scumbag, and now I confess my sins. Even Jesus cannot tolerate me.

"I'm glad you're back. Have you seen the thousands of mountains and rivers you wanted to see?" He said with a smile, his hand on Tayuya's shoulder, his expression relaxed.

Behind him was the quiet street, the ever-present rustling of people seemingly vanishing at that moment. The wind blew his coat, and the light gave him a golden edge.

Tayuya looked up at him, seeing that the morning light seemed to fall solely on him. Darkness stood in front of him, and behind him was a vast expanse of light.

In this quiet morning, he turned around and looked at her in such an ordinary way. The constant uneasiness in her heart disappeared instantly, as if he had walked towards her from her broken world.

My journey of withering everything seemed to have come back to life, like a high fever being cured and a long-awaited medicine being given.

"......I've looked at it, nothing special." She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I had a dream the day before yesterday. I dreamed that you said you would come to see me."

"Although it's a little late today, the dream has come true. I know you won't lie to me." She raised her head with a smile in her eyes.

Chapter 556: Bloodline is about to be born, or two

Naruto looked at her smile and for a moment didn't know how to respond so he could only smile guiltily.

Apart from Ino and Hinata, most of the women who had interactions with him had some vested interests involved, but Duoyu was the only one who never thought of getting anything from him.

Even…children.

Naruto was a little confused by the pure emotion, and usually he subconsciously tried not to think about it. But since he had seen it, he couldn't just hide away forever.

After three meals a day, Uzumaki Naruto, who always focused on sex rather than love, got up to make tea. He casually wrapped himself in pajamas, stood by the window, holding the hot tea, turned his head and said something.

"I'm a little overwhelmed here, and I don't trust anyone else. How about you come and help me?"

Tayuya rubbed her stiff face and looked at him lazily, "Okay."

"Why don't you ask?"

"Don't want to ask, is it far from Konoha?" she asked.

"In Taki Country." Naruto hesitated, "It's a bit far, but I will come to see you from time to time. You know, I never lie to you."

"Okay." She agreed without hesitation, then asked, "I heard on the way that the Rain Kingdom, the Grass Kingdom, and four other small countries were all circled off. Was that you who did it?"

"Yes, I wiped out the four small nations." He nodded. "If I hadn't done that, the war would have never ended. I don't really care about the ninja world a hundred years from now."

"Given the nature of these five great nations, I'm afraid the war will continue several times before I even close my eyes. It's really annoying. It's better to let them stay in peace."

"War is not a good thing. Too many people will be displaced because of it." Duoyou also agreed. She has traveled to many places and seen too much helplessness.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Naruto, as if she realized something.

"Are you preventing war?"

"Not really. I just want to live a more comfortable life without being disturbed by those messes." Naruto narrowed his eyes. "It's just a small-scale war. As long as it doesn't involve too many people, I won't care about those messes at all."

"As long as the result is good, the purpose doesn't matter." Tayuya smiled, "But I don't care about that too much. Since you want to do it, I'll help you."

Hearing this, Naruto hesitated again and added another sentence.

"That being said, it's just a job. It's not a wish, a mission, or a goal that must be achieved. Um... you know, I don't put too much thought into it."

If it were someone else, like Kurotsuchi or that scumbag kunoichi, Hydrangea, he wouldn't have needed to say all these unnecessary words. Because the genes for slacking off and lying down ran through the blood of these two scumbag ninjas, there was no need to say anything more.

But if it was the simple-minded Tayouya, and she heard her ask herself that question, she would have realized that she only wanted to create four small countries to disgust the five major countries and make them quiet down.

It really wasn't for peace in the ninja world or anything like that. He didn't have such a grand dream at all. It was just because the damn child of destiny hadn't appeared.

This forced Naruto, the boss of this version, to take action and sort out all the chaotic things in advance, but he was not very willing to do these things, let alone any enthusiasm.

If there were no threat from the Otsutsuki clan, Naruto would not even want to bother with the Ninja World War. Unfortunately, there is no if, and he still doesn't know whether Jiraiya has found the child of destiny.

Seeing Tayuya's confused look, Naruto had to say a few more words.

"It really doesn't matter. Even if you just mess around with it, it doesn't matter. It's just an insignificant thing. You don't need to fight for Taki Country, and you don't need to work too hard."

"Just need to maintain the routine, you know? There's someone I trust there, and that's all."

"Okay," she said.

Naruto scratched his head in confusion. For the first time, he felt as if his words were falling on cotton. He wanted to say something else, but when he saw her expression, he stopped.

~~

"Your work efficiency is a bit slow, Black Zetsu, can you do it?" Naruto found Black Zetsu again and asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

"What is it to you? Have you collected both tailed beasts?" Black Zetsu was really angry. He had been working as a freelancer for hundreds of years, and now it was like working on the assembly line in a black factory.

This Uzumaki Naruto is really damnable, why doesn't anyone come out to take him away?

"Not yet, I only got one tailed beast." Naruto said perfunctorily, "But mainly because your progress is not very fast. If I acted earlier, the pressure would be too great."

"What do you mean?"

"Of course I can only attack Kazekage Gaara after you are ready. Otherwise, do you think that attacking a Kazekage can be solved by just drinking three cups of wine?" Naruto was speechless.

"Aren't you having an affair with Kazekage's sister..." Black Zetsu looked confused.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't say anything careless. What kind of words are these? What kind of words are these!" Naruto interrupted Black Zetsu directly, "Don't say anything careless. Forget it, even if what you said is true, so what?"

"Can we take a shortcut to knock the Wind Shadow unconscious, and then extract the tailed beast from the human body?" He was a little speechless, "What you said is really..."

"I'm just waiting for you to gather all the tailed beasts. To be honest, as long as you're prepared, collecting one tail is not difficult at all. It will take no more than two days."

"Really?" Black Zetsu was skeptical.

"There's no need to lie to you. You should speed up your progress." Naruto warned Black Zetsu sternly, his tone full of dissatisfaction, "If I could live to your age and still couldn't defeat a few small tailed beasts, then I would simply not live."

Black Zetsu: “.........”

He found that his life now was really frustrating. Nothing went smoothly as long as he was involved with this bastard. Uzumaki Naruto really deserved to die!

~~

Time passed little by little, and Naruto was once again in a state of continuous work.

It was the first time he realized how damn busy he could be, and seeing that Ino and Hinata were about to be unloaded, he went from visiting them every other day to being there every day.

Then he sneaked out in the middle of the night to meet Tayuya in Takikuni.

He began to regret why he said that he would visit Duoyu every once in a while. If it was just Duoyu, it would be fine, but he would also have to go to the Rain Kingdom and the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

Fortunately, Naruto is physically strong. Most people would have died if they did that, but he managed to pull through. He only sleeps for an hour a day and spends the rest of his time meticulously managing his time.

It wasn't that he was greedy, it was mainly because he overestimated Black Zetsu's strength. He didn't expect Black Zetsu to be so useless, which far exceeded his imagination of Black Zetsu.
