"Naruto, I've brought you what you asked for."
In the afternoon, while Naruto was eating at home, Jiraiya came knocking.
He handed him some items.
Among them was a Sage Talisman.
"The Great Toad Sage agreed?"
"Yes, he agreed."
Jiraiya gave a wry smile.
With you like this, how could he not agree?
"Alright, then let's arrange it as soon as possible. Summoning Technique is a good thing."
Naruto tossed the Sage Talisman into the space, where Nine-Tailed caught it.
Nine-Tailed examined it carefully, couldn't make heads or tails of it, and casually set it aside.
He didn't think Naruto would need it anytime soon.
"Oh, right, since you're here, there's something I need you to do."
"What is it?"
"Go bring Tsunade back."
"Huh?"
Jiraiya's face fell, "Why me?"
"Because you've left your mark everywhere, you're more familiar with the Land of Fire, and you're the one who understands Tsunade best."
"That's true."
Jiraiya was a little proud.
He had traveled across most of the Ninja World in search of the Fated Child and to create great works.
Especially the Land of Fire, he was incredibly familiar with it.
Find Tsunade?
Finding him, Jiraiya, was definitely the right choice.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Uh…"
Jiraiya rubbed his hands, chuckling.
"Go on the mission, there's a reward."
Naruto found it amusing to see Jiraiya looking so eager.
He wasn't willing to retire yet; he wanted to keep working for a few more years.
Recently, Jiraiya had also taken on some missions, going down the path of grinding missions and never looking back.
Everyone who knew about the rewards was competing, and missions were almost running out.
Yet, those people still had to thank him for the rewards he provided.
In reality, these rewards were piled up like mountains, the kind that couldn't be consumed.
There was no other way; the growth rate was too fast.
Naruto still hadn't figured out the exact principle behind this space.
Could this natural energy be the legendary spiritual energy of heaven and earth?
In short, it had indeed given him the greatest help so far.
Jiraiya received a satisfactory answer and left feeling lighthearted and happy.
Find Tsunade?
No one else but him.
…
"Fourth Hokage, the building you requested has been completed."
Not long after Jiraiya left, Yamato came knocking, excitedly saying, "Please come inspect it."
"Really?"
Naruto's eyes lit up, and under Yamato's guidance, he quickly arrived at the destination.
This was a building with a style somewhat similar to ancient Chinese architecture.
It had only one floor, but it was very spacious.
There was also a courtyard.
Such a house was already very good for Naruto.
Abusing power for personal gain?
No, no, no, this was so he could be closer to the Hokage Office and work easily.
How could this be called abusing power for personal gain?
"How is it? It's exactly as you envisioned."
"Not bad."
Patting Yamato's shoulder, Naruto said with a smile, "I'm very satisfied."
He knew that in his previous life, he had no intention of buying a house; in his opinion, renting was more cost-effective than buying.
Life was only a few decades long, and houses were ridiculously expensive.
And now, such a large house was more than enough.
"Go on, you can turn in the mission."
"Alright!"
Yamato's eyes lit up, and he scurried off.
Why was Yamato so enthusiastic? Naturally, there was a reason.
The last time he visited, Nara Shikaku gave him a bite to eat.
On the spot, he felt that his Wood Release had made a tiny bit of progress.
How could this be?
He knew his Wood Release could only create wooden stakes or similar things, and he had thought that was all there was to it, but now it could actually improve?
After hearing about the rewards Naruto had set up, he went completely crazy.
Yamato then shouted in his room like a chuunibyou: "I am the Second First Hokage!"
Powerful Wood Release was the dream of everyone in Konoha Village.
Yamato was naturally no exception.
He even possessed the ability of Wood Release, and now seeing the ladder of progress, how could he not go crazy?
He only regretted that he wasn't capable enough and his strength wasn't very strong.
Otherwise, he would definitely take on those high-difficulty missions.
At the same time, because of the rules set by Naruto, the rank of a Ninja became even more important.
However, the most frustrating part was that Ninjaranks were tested once a year.
Starting next year.
Mission assignments were also divided by rank. Want to take on a mission above your rank?
Dream on.
Layer by layer, this led to those who wanted to improve becoming even more frenzied.
This caused a shift in the atmosphere of Konoha Village.
As soon as a mission was released, it was taken, creating the illusion that there were fewer missions now.
Outsiders found this scene incredibly baffling.
Most people simply thought that the return of the Fourth Hokage had united the people of Konoha Village, which was why this situation occurred.
In reality, everyone was secretly competing.
In Naruto's words, "I'm already the Hokage, can't I slack off a bit?"
The rest was up to the people below to compete.
"Heh, how energetic."
Watching Yamato leave, Naruto sighed, "Many people learned from Kakashi; that old man Third Hokage sometimes had to force people to take missions."
"Look how good it is now."
"You black-hearted capitalist."
Looking at the piled-up fruits and vegetables, Nine-Tailed fell into contemplation.
This was probably an information asymmetry.
For them, it was good stuff, but for Naruto, it was almost rotting in the ground.
Currently, what was most useful to Naruto were medicinal herbs, followed by meat, and then vegetables and fruits.
"What else can we plant?"
With nothing else to do, Nine-Tailed and Narutobegan to study the wonders of the space again.
…
"Shikamaru."
"Hmm?"
Shikamaru looked at Nara Shikaku with confusion.
It's already a holiday; aren't I allowed to rest?
"Oh, you, don't be so lazy. Be careful you won't have a job when you grow up."
"How could that be!"
Shikamaru was startled, feeling that this statement was a bit alarmist.
He was a Ninja; how could such a day come?
"Look now, how competitive it is."
Nara Shikaku had already foreseen Konoha Village's rapid development in the future, and a time when jobs would be hard to find.
Nothing else, it was too competitive now.
Everyone was thinking about doing missions.
Facts proved that many people were ambitious, and Ninjas even more so.
Having tasted the sweetness, who would let go of the benefits in their hands?
Even he, Nara Shikaku, was now working as if he had been injected with a stimulant.
He hadn't experienced the feeling of his strength improving in a long time.
And now?
His strength was also steadily increasing.
"Bring out your strengths; the future is yours. So, from today onwards, I will personally supervise you."
Nara Shikaku sneered.
Nara Shikamaru let out a wail upon seeing this, "Noooo~"
"Ino, how's your study of the Mind Transfer Jutsu coming along?"
Little Ino, who was tending to flowers and plants, looked at Inoichi Yamanaka with confusion.
Apparently, she was only six years old and had only just started learning the Three Body Technique not long ago, so why was he bringing up the Mind Transfer Jutsu?
"From the looks of it, you haven't even started learning it. How can this be? You can tend to flowers and plants later; come and learn with me."
Ino Yamanaka: "…"
Her mouth drooped, and she burst into tears.
However, it was no use.
"I am just that cold and heartless!"
Inoichi Yamanaka kept a straight face, carrying Ino Yamanaka and striding out of the flower room.
Akimichi Choza and Akimichi Choji were sitting together, eating snacks.
Suddenly, Akimichi Choza slowly spoke…
