139Shukaku's ThoughtsAI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 139 Shukaku's Thoughts
"Only the ignorant are fearless!"
Nagato received the news and gave a bitter smile. Wasn't Ōnoki just like him?
Looking in the mirror, his Rinnegan open, Nagatofell silent.
He should have thought of it earlier.
Wasn't Kakashi's example right here?
Wasn't it normal for someone else's eyes to be rejected when placed in one's own body?
Kakashi was like that, which was why his Chakrawas always insufficient.
It wasn't until a few years ago that he finally let go of his obsession, dug out his eyes, and felt much more at ease.
And himself?
He had clearly been burdened by the Rinnegan all this time, so why had he never thought of this point?
"I was too overconfident as well."
Nagato gave a bitter smile, his grand ambitions having vanished the moment Konan was captured.
"It turns out I'm not a god, never was!"
"Ōtsutsuki, how ridiculous. Now Zetsu doesn't even dare to show himself openly in the Akatsuki Organization."
One must know that Zetsu used to wander freely within the Akatsuki Organization. This shows how much he fears this mysteriously appearing Ōtsutsuki.
Zetsu: "…"
"I'm not behind you, so you don't need to show such an indescribable expression."
"Tsk tsk, did I think wrong?"
"No!"
Zetsu turned his back, not wanting to speak.
Doesn't he want to be a bit tougher? Damn it.
Do you know how miserable a child who grew up without a mother is?
He's not afraid of Ōtsutsuki Toneri, but Ōtsutsuki Urashiki is the genuine article. Although he doesn't know why his strength isn't as great as rumored, he is still an Ōtsutsuki in the end.
To be safe, it's best to hide as far away as possible.
"I'm leaving. The intelligence has been given to you. The rest is up to you."
"Go."
Nagato nodded. Under such circumstances, it was indeed best for Zetsu not to appear.
He still had one last trump card to save for a comeback.
…
"Why are you still doing missions at a time like this? It feels like you're really obsessed with this."
In the restroom, Boruto wore a mask, a small felt hat on his head, and an old apron, vigorously mopping the floor with a mop in his hand.
His heart was somewhat on the verge of collapsing.
Truly,
He had been in Konoha Village for a long time. Who would enjoy cleaning toilets?
Wasn't this kind of work meant for greenhorns to familiarize themselves with the mission process?
Has Konoha Village become so competitive that even these kinds of missions are being snatched up now?
"What do you know?"
Shikamaru rolled his eyes: 'Bringing you here was to give you benefits, and you're still unhappy.'
"That's right. You'll really appreciate it later, provided you have a lot of points."
Ino Yamanaka stood to the side, lighting incense, carefully placing it in a corner of the restroom, and then continued: "You'll be going to this war too, right?"
"Yes!"
Boruto said while mopping the floor: "My purpose for coming this time is for Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. Since he's on the other side, we definitely have to face him."
"Oh, right."
Ino Yamanaka suddenly leaned closer to Boruto, her expression gossipy: "What's Naruto like over there?"
"My dad? In my impression, he's always been a busy person, often not home."
"Huh?"
Ino Yamanaka's mouth dropped open: "That's impossible, isn't it?"
Choji touched the potato chips in his pocket, thought for a moment, and then painfully put them back.
Forget it, eating here was just too disgusting.
As for Uzumaki Naruto, whom Boruto mentioned…
Choji felt that the people on their side must not have put in enough effort.
If they had, would Naruto still be so tired?
Look at Nara Shikaku, and then look at the seasoned powerhouses like Uchiha Fugaku on their side; they tackled missions as if they were on a sugar rush.
Under such circumstances, the entire Land of Firewas still well-organized.
They even felt there were too few missions.
Shikamaru put the broom away, wiped the sweat from his face, and at this moment, also heard the words with some surprise: "No way?"
"I'm telling the truth."
Boruto scratched his head and chuckled: "To get my dad's attention, I would always act naughty and cause trouble."
"Tsk, you really are Naruto's son."
Shikamaru waved his hand: "Let's go, we're done."
"Wait for me."
Boruto quickly caught up, jogging to Shikamaru's side, and said helplessly: 'I'm telling the truth, he even used a Shadow Clone for his child's birthday.'
Shikamaru: "…"
Is he that busy?
Upon closer thought, it seemed his own father was indeed quite busy, but now that the Land of Firewas united, it was still manageable.
Patting Boruto's shoulder, Shikamaru said with sympathy: "It's a pity, you're not from this world, so you can't enjoy this comfort."
Boruto's face darkened.
That stung.
"Let's go, next mission!"
"What mission?"
"Catching a cat!"
…
"Heave-ho, heave-ho!"
In the space, Shukaku threw down his hoe, extended a Chakra arm, and while reading a book and studying, he built a small house.
"Are you going into the house-building business?"
Nine-Tailed looked sideways, saying in surprise: "I didn't realize you were so ambitious."
"Of course."
Shukaku didn't even lift his head, continuing his research, too busy to bother with Nine-Tailed.
He wanted to switch career paths.
It found that it wasn't as good as Nine-Tailed at farming, writing, or drawing.
This space was so miraculous, allowing a Tailed Beast like him to grow stronger.
He didn't want to leave such a good place.
So, what could he do to continue staying here?
Shukaku didn't believe Naruto was such a good person that he would let him stay here for free.
Therefore, he had to increase his self-worth.
These days, he had been thinking, and suddenly realized something: there weren't many houses in this space.
The only two houses were shoddily built and didn't look appealing.
At that moment, his eyes lit up.
This was a great opportunity.
It was foreseeable that more people would surely enter this space in the future.
Not to mention distant possibilities, would Narutonot let Hyuga Hinata enter?
Wouldn't it be nice to occasionally come to such a secluded paradise, far from the hustle and bustle, and enjoy some private time together?
Furthermore, don't humans like that sort of thing?
No one was here, so they could play to their heart's content without being seen.
Look,
The whole world belonged to Naruto and Hinata. They could play however they wanted. How wonderful!
Shukaku chuckled mischievously.
Nine-Tailed shivered, looking at him suspiciously, not understanding why he was smiling so perversely.
"Hmph!"
Feeling Nine-Tailed's disgusted gaze, Shukakusnorted: 'I'm going to build a very large, very good house.'
"Then I won't be afraid of Naruto throwing me out and not letting me back in."
"Nine-Tailed, just wait. You're just lucky to have come first. I will definitely surpass you."
Shukaku read the book even more seriously.
"Everyone, get to work!"
Seeing the scene inside the space, Naruto muttered to himself: "As a Tailed Beast, how can one be lazy?"
"You agree, right?"
"Three-Tails!"
Naruto lowered his head, looking at Three-Tails, who was in a fish tank.
Three-Tails: "…"
