Chapter 259: Cutting the Gordian knot
On TV, broadcast live globally, Uzumaki Narutohad already arrived at the Royal Capital.
His speed was faster than an airplane.
The King stared blankly at Uzumaki Naruto, who had landed before him.
"Yo, I've heard much about you."
The Dog King silently watched Uzumaki Naruto, despair filling his heart.
If such a person wanted his position, and he didn't abdicate, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Taking a deep breath, King Frieza sighed and said, "This world is vast, and not everything is under my control. Even if you take this position, you won't be able to hold it steady."
He tried to persuade Uzumaki Naruto.
Although he was rational, this position held great power, and he didn't want to give it up.
"Are you abdicating normally, or do you want me to come up with a reason?"
The King was speechless.
Why wouldn't this person listen to advice?
Forget it.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
Only those who truly experienced it would know that this position was not so easy to hold.
"It's being broadcast live right now. If you want to do it, do it, but those cities all have entrenched powers. How will you make them truly loyal?"
"No need for such trouble."
Uzumaki Naruto shook his head, his gaze turning to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru chuckled, quietly standing beside Uzumaki Naruto.
The King stared, dumbfounded, pointing at Shikamaru and trembling.
He nearly couldn't catch his breath.
This assistant, whom he used so readily, was actually one of the opponent's people.
"And Kakashi Hatake, as well as Might Guy, are also our people."
At this point, there was no need to hide anything; he directly revealed it.
The King rolled his eyes.
Heh heh!
So it was all premeditated.
"But do you really think you can do whatever you want with just a few limited people?"
The King shook his head.
He was speechless at Uzumaki Naruto's irrationality.
He thought things were too simple, didn't he? This planet was very large, after all.
There were Martial Artists, and the things those forces controlled certainly couldn't compare to Uzumaki Naruto's unreasonable power, but if they really wanted to cause trouble, it would be enough to make anyone frantic.
"Perhaps it's difficult for you, but for me, this matter is simply too easy."
Uzumaki Naruto slowly sat in the King's seat.
It was very relaxed, very artistic, and very natural.
He looked very skilled and composed.
It gave people the impression that he was born to sit in that position.
The emotions of people watching this scene around the world fluctuated greatly.
Some were indignant, some were eager to try, and some cursed loudly.
But more were simply curious.
They wondered what kind of impact such a powerful person sitting in this position would have on the world.
Uzumaki Naruto didn't make them wait too long.
He wasn't interested in games of power, because he could do better.
Slowly rising, Uzumaki Naruto formed hand seals, smiling faintly: "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In an instant, the plaza was filled with Uzumaki Naruto's Shadow Clones.
A rough estimate put them in the tens of thousands.
The King: "???"
"Everyone???"
"These Shadow Clones have some of my strength. Trust me, they are enough to destroy a city."
"And these will be dispersed throughout the world, taking charge of different regions."
"Wherever there's resistance, wherever there's trouble, I will purge the forces in that place. Let them try to make a move."
Uzumaki Naruto spoke softly and naturally.
Yet, it gave people a sense of a bloody storm.
Shikamaru stood by his side, not surprised in the least.
Are you kidding?
Although Uzumaki Naruto was easy to talk to, if he truly made up his mind, it would be a thunderous strike.
Just like now.
He wouldn't play games of power with them, nor would he beat around the bush.
In a word,
If any city had a problem, then the forces in that city, whether legitimate or illegitimate, would all be purged.
The one thing this world didn't lack was people.
There were many common folk, but few who could cause trouble.
Uzumaki Naruto's precise strike directly silenced countless ambitious individuals who had been itching for action.
Under Uzumaki Naruto's absolute power and high pressure, all ambitious plans died in their infancy.
Many people trembled.
"Just like now."
Shikamaru handed Uzumaki Naruto the documents he had prepared long ago.
The King asked curiously, "What is this?"
"A few of the most serious forces involved in murder, robbery, and criminal activities."
Shikamaru spoke slowly and clearly, "A new official's first three fires, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys."
"The Red Ribbon Army, tsk, what a coincidence!"
Uzumaki Naruto's gaze swept over them, and the next moment, many Shadow Clones soared into the sky.
"Uzumaki Naruto, how long can your Multiple Shadow Clones last?"
"About a day."
Shikamaru: "..."
Comparing people to people will only infuriate them.
No matter what Ninjutsu Uzumaki Naruto used, it could always be evolved to an extremely terrifying level when he used it.
"One day is enough."
Uzumaki Naruto waved his sleeve, raised his hand, and a jade seal spun in his palm.
Appointed by Heaven, may he live long and prosper!
"Now, at this moment, in this country, I am King, and what I say goes."
"Shikamaru, you must quickly organize everything and keep this world running. I want to expand territory and sweep across all directions."
Uzumaki Naruto exuded dominance.
This world still had many islands.
It was too big and had split into countless factions.
"I will. Airplanes and cannons will lead the way, Ninjas will follow."
Shikamaru rubbed his hands excitedly: "You controlling this country, even if not completely, brings many benefits."
"It should be enough for you to bring a bunch of Ninjas over, right?"
"That's right."
"I will bring a team of Ninjas over today when I return."
"Shikamaru, we don't have much time left. We need to become stronger as quickly as possible."
Now Son Goku had already begun his training.
It wouldn't take many years for him to grow into an adult, and then the universe would gradually open up.
He believed that the protagonist was the one most likely to cause trouble.
This was a double-edged sword.
He needed to use it well, and he also needed to quickly improve his own strength.
"I know. You told me. Let's work hard together."
Shikamaru felt immense pressure.
Aliens, huh?
Why did they always have to deal with aliens?
In the Ninja World, they dealt with Ōtsutsuki, and here they had to deal with them again.
He still didn't know how strong the opponents were.
But Uzumaki Naruto said they would only be stronger.
Shikamaru took a deep breath and began to issue orders.
As for the former King, he was currently watching this scene, embarrassed and bewildered.
He was numb.
This wasn't quite what he had imagined.
Those Shadow Clones were going in different directions, clearly to take charge of various cities.
Who would dare to cause trouble like this?
As soon as someone stepped forward, they would be annihilated.
Under such circumstances, no one wanted to be a trailblazer; they could only endure.
They could endure it, and it wouldn't be a problem to come back after Uzumaki Naruto had lived for a hundred years.
But what about himself?
"Truly step down and become a wealthy old man?"
The King pondered: "It seems it's not impossible; how comfortable that would be."
..."Truly, his ambition is great."
The Kami shook his head: "But Old Piccolo truly planned ahead, having planted a malnourished egg so early."
"He has great foresight, just like you, Kami."
Popo hinted at something...
