["have a good rest."]
["You're the same."]
Temari nodded.
[Just about to say something.]
Naruto spoke first:
"Be careful."
"Don't become a weapon in someone else's hand."
"Reliable intelligence."
"The body of the Fourth Kazekage has been discovered on the border of the Land of Wind."
"He's been dead for some time now."
[Temari's beautiful eyes are like an earthquake.]
This news came as a complete surprise.
But to Temari's surprise, she fell silent.
There wasn't much sadness.
Orochimaru: "As expected, I knew I couldn't hide it from Naruto-kun with black frames."
Pakura: Hmph!
Pakura: Karma!
Luo Sha: ...
Even now, he felt a pang of regret.
But on the surface, it's absolutely impossible for it to be even slightly weaker.
Anyway.
His motivation was always for the village.
In addition, it was also her father's deep love for her.
Of course, if he dares to say it out loud, he'll be mercilessly attacked.
For the village?
A father's deep love?
You're not even a father anymore, yet you dare to talk about deep love?
Unless you're a fool, whoever believes you is destined for greatness.
In reality, it's more like he blamed Gaara for Gallo's death.
Kurotsuchi: "Where's that old woman from Sunagakure?"
Kurotsuchi: "The one who loves using poison the most."
Black Soil: "What?"
Heitu: "You just stay silent when you encounter difficult questions?"
Heitu: "You damned wife!"
Chiyo (in swimsuit): "..."
Hearing that Heitu dared to jump out again.
All the women rolled their eyes.
But I just let it go.
She looks exactly like a carbon copy of Red Bean.
They're even more talkative and bolder.
Who knows, they might climb through the window to seek education again in the future.
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
"Sunagakure is too busy dealing with its own problems to get involved in this mess."
"Furthermore, as the descendants of the Kazekage, you should fight for a voice in the conflict."
"Settle down in the sand dunes."
"Select the seeds worth keeping...because it won't be so easy once I arrive."
Having said that,
Naruto turned and left.
Temari was still in a daze.
Naruto's words contained a wealth of information.
And each and every one of them seemed unbelievable to her.
[After Naruto left.]
Kankuro also came out of the guesthouse.
He eavesdropped several times.
[Every time, I get slapped back by Gaara's sand.]
[It really was filmed and sent back.]
[Until later, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong with Gaara's chakra.]
[Immediately peek out to eavesdrop and watch.]
[It turned out that no more sand came to hit him.]
[I haven't even had time to be happy yet.]
Then he heard a series of messages that made his brain almost shut down...
[I accept Gaara's gift.]
Kankuro opened his mouth.
[In the end, I still managed to ask.]
"Father...is he really dead?"
Kankuro could hardly believe it.
"He's dead." Temari's voice was calm.
Kankuro didn't say anything more.
[Silently, he led Gaara back.]
Temari glanced back at the spot where Naruto had last disappeared.
[They stood there for quite a while.]
Finally, he glanced at Maki on the roof of the guesthouse.
They looked at each other in silence.
[...]
[Within the sealed space.]
Shukaku lay dejectedly on the ground.
"Damn nine-tailed brat!"
"How could that guy's strength... have improved so quickly?"
"Gaara is no match for him."
"Even in tailed beast form... it seems unlikely to pose a threat to that brat."
"Unless I, the great one, fully emerge."
["hateful!"]
"No... we can't just sit here and wait to die!"
As he spoke, Shukaku unconsciously stood up.
Hands behind back.
[He paced back and forth within the sealed space.]
The chubby body trembled slightly.
"Let's give it our all!"
"That kid will definitely become addicted to the feeling of getting enough sleep."
"Once I break through the nine-tailed brat's seal... Hmph!"
"At worst, we can cooperate with the backwaters first."
"Let him send his sister over there."
"Infiltrate the enemy!"
[...]
On the other side.
Naruto's eye twitched slightly.
[This Shukaku... no wonder even a great fox couldn't help but slap it across the face.]
In terms of stinginess, she can certainly rival a scumbag.
Not long after.
Naruto reappeared in the underground laboratory.
[Looking at the wooden clone with a resentful expression.]
Naruto wasn't surprised.
It wasn't awkward at all.
"It's definitely time to find an assistant."
"Doing everything myself is too tiring."
Naruto shook his head.
[Then assimilated the wood clone.]
[Absorb memories and experiences from the wooden clone.]
A moment later, the wooden clone was updated and synchronized.
[He glanced at the main body, who was still pondering the memories and experiences gained during the time he had spent with the wooden clone.]
[She silently turned around and began studying Tsunade's "Hundred Healings Technique".]
[A secret technique that can utilize the Yin Seal for amplification.]
[The skill required to precisely control chakra is considerable.]
[but...]
[If it's modified using the new Ninja Sect and the new Yin Seal methods.]
It's not too difficult.
[Right now, the Wood Clone's task is to figure out the underlying logic of the Hundred Healings Technique.]
There's one more thing.
[Naruto was so busy lately that he only remembered it when he glanced at it casually while pondering these trivial matters.]
"We've had the mask used in the rituals of the Land of Whirlpools retrieved for some time now."
"The Grim Reaper masks... have also been selected."
"I was hoping that once I found these masks, I could quickly decipher the power of the ritual."
"Looking back now... I was being a bit naive."
Naruto reluctantly removed the mask that represented the Grim Reaper.
"No, there's too much to do... way too much."
"And in this regard, there's basically no one who can help..."
"It seems we really should find a suitable candidate."
"The White Zetsu are very studious, and have a good attitude towards learning... but they have too many quirks."
"Little White 002 is actually one of the better candidates."
"But it still needs time."
Orochimaru: "It's me!"
Orochimaru: "How could Naruto with black frames have forgotten about me?"
Orochimaru has just finished speaking.
"Oh, right."
"I almost forgot one person."
"Oh well... so many things have already dragged on for so long anyway."
"It won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer."
"Let's see how Orochimaru is doing first."
"Researching the White Zetsu is of paramount importance."
"The Uchiha Madara involved..."
"We'll consider the ritual after we've confirmed that Orochimaru can be our assistant, or even stand on his own."
"The power involved... is far too ancient and magnificent."
"In terms of danger, he is in no way inferior to Uchiha Madara, and may even be..."
A fleeting glimpse of the world of Kamui and Tsukuyomi flashed through Naruto's mind.
[The Fourth Hokage's Rock, Haruno Shou.]
"I suddenly realize... I seem to be very busy."
Naruto gives a self-deprecating laugh.
Then take a deep breath.
[Open the stone door to the laboratory.]
The air was silent for three seconds.
[Then...Naruto received 'revenge' from the Ghost Wood clone.]
"Naruto-sama~!!!"
Dozens of voices rang out simultaneously.
The underground laboratory shook from the tremor.
[Next.]
The group of White Zetsu, as if they had spotted some priceless treasure, all pounced on it.
Naruto: "..."
