"Amado, is there any movement in Konoha Villagerecently?"
"No movement, everything is still the same."
Amado, who had returned, maintained his composure. After casually speaking, he curiously asked, "Did you succeed?"
"We succeeded!"
"Now we just need to plant the Divine Tree and wait to harvest its fruit."
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki rarely showed a bright smile.
It wasn't easy!
It had been so many years, and ever since he arrived on this planet, everything had gone wrong.
First, he was ambushed by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, and when he finally had a chance, an even more terrifying Uzumaki Naruto appeared.
But everything was about to end.
They were terrifyingly strong now.
"Let's go deal with that Uzumaki Naruto first. This planet will be our backyard from now on."
Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki looked at Amado with interest, smiling coldly, "They say this Uzumaki Naruto is very powerful. I want to see just how strong he really is."
"Alright!"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki waved his hand, "Prepare for a few days, and then we'll set off immediately. It's time to end this boring game."
The others had no objections.
They knew that in this Ninja World, the only person who could pose a threat to them was this one.
Everyone else was like a clay chicken or a ceramic dog, not worth a single blow.
…
Just as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and the others were preparing to set off for Konoha Village.
Naruto was taking Minato Namikaze, Uzumaki Kushina, and Orochimaru on a tour of his space.
"The space is too vast, and I can't manage it all anymore. I didn't intend to bother you, but after hearing the Six Paths Sage talk about the Shinigami's strange actions, I had some ideas."
Minato Namikaze's expression was strange: "You're not thinking of having us dead people help you develop the space, are you?"
As a former Hokage, his mind worked quickly.
"That's right!"
Naruto openly admitted, "That's exactly what I'm thinking."
"Anyway, in the Pure Land, you're destined to be drained, with no chance of reincarnation. It's better here, where you can continuously grow stronger."
"Perfect, you can help me manage it."
Minato Namikaze: "…"
Orochimaru: "…"
It's truly you, Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki Kushina looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a gentle smile.
At this moment, Orochimaru had already released the Edo Tensei, and they stood in the space as souls.
Naturally, they also sensed the extraordinary nature of this space.
A unique power nourished them.
Even as soul bodies, they could exist here forever.
Of course, they also had a vague feeling that even soul bodies couldn't live forever; there was still a lifespan limit.
"Alright, in the Pure Land, our consciousness is also muddled. Only a very few people can remain clear-headed, existing between the Pure Land and the Ninja World, maintaining themselves with Chakra."
Naruto was stunned.
There was such a thing.
Wait!
It seemed this wasn't something difficult to accept.
He remembered Rin Nohara, and Kakashi Hatake's father, Sakumo Hatake, were examples of this.
After Kakashi died, and when Obito had problems, they appeared to encourage them.
The souls in this place were truly strange, and the power of Chakra was also unique.
"Perfect, we haven't lived enough yet, hahaha."
Minato Namikaze laughed heartily.
"By the way, I haven't seen Jiraiya-sensei in a long time. I wonder how he's doing."
Minato Namikaze put his arm around Naruto, smiling, "Can I go out like this?"
"No!"
"But I can bring him here."
By now, Naruto wasn't worried about his secrets being discovered.
Besides, as long as he was careful, who would know what this place was?
He could simply say it was a unique place, like the Three Great Holy Lands.
"Can you do it now?"
Uzumaki Kushina looked at the excited Minato Namikaze, smiling at Naruto.
"No, I sent him to Sunagakure in the Land of Wind."
Huh?
Their mouths dropped open.
"He agreed?"
Both of them were bewildered.
Given Jiraiya's carefree nature, it would be absolutely impossible to make him stay in one place.
How did Naruto manage to make him stay put obediently?
Amazing!
"There were conditions."
Orochimaru stood by and explained, "The Akatsuki Organization has two people, Nagato and Konan. Jiraiya hoped Naruto would spare their lives."
"The condition was to do one thing for Narutounconditionally."
"So…"
Understood!
No wonder.
Although Jiraiya-sensei had unique quirks, he was also a man of integrity.
He also had his own Ninja Way and convictions.
"Alright, I'll go see Jiraiya-sensei when he returns."
"But right now, it's just the two of us. We can't develop much with this, can we?"
Minato Namikaze was speechless: "We can't even use Ninjutsu now, we only have brute strength."
"Don't worry, someone will be here to join you very soon."
Naruto smiled slyly.
…
"What are you planning to do?"
Leaving the space, Orochimaru looked at Naruto, who was walking beside him, and whispered, "You're not going to bring out the Third Hokageand the others, are you?"
"You're overthinking it."
Naruto shook his head: "I'm not that foolish. I'll only look for people I don't know and who don't know me."
That way, all problems could be solved.
That's right!
Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up, and he chuckled.
Orochimaru: "…"
What bad idea was this guy thinking of now?
"I'll be right back. You go back first."
Naruto flashed, disappearing.
When he reappeared, he was in a peculiar place.
"Valley of the End!"
Naruto was startled; he had actually come here.
This place was not simple.
It seemed that Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama had their final battle here.
In the original timeline, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke also formed and broke their bond here.
This place carried the weight of two generations of legends.
"Uchiha Naruto, are you here for me?"
Uchiha Madara had built a small house here.
He was currently fishing.
"You don't look like Uchiha Madara at all right now."
"So what?"
Uchiha Madara retorted, "I've traveled the entire Ninja World, and I can only say that you've done very well. This world has finally ushered in true peace."
"Since that's the case, what more could I be dissatisfied with?"
He had left Konoha Village back then because of his disagreement with Senju Hashirama.
He was also searching for his own path.
Now that his path had been brought infinitely close to completion by someone else, he had no more regrets.
So,
He had come full circle, returning here.
"Is there something you need me for?"
Uchiha Madara looked at Naruto, a little puzzled.
If Naruto's strength couldn't accomplish it, then coming to him seemed useless.
Naruto pondered, cleared his throat, and slowly spoke: "Uchiha Madara, do you want a wife?"
Uchiha Madara: "???"
