"Thank you, Naruto, if it wasn't for you all, our Land of the Moon would have really been taken by Daiha. If that happened, I would have no face to meet my dead father."
The old king died last night.
His already old body was attacked to such an extent that it had reached its limit.
For ordinary people, death is always so simple.
"I'm just doing my job for money."
Naruto waved his hand, boarded the ship returning to the Land of Fire with Karin and others from the Land of the Moon, and said goodbye to Tsukiman and others.
He once again kindly refused Tsukiman's desire to win him over.
Although the Land of the Moon is better than the Land of Snow, richer, the weather is better, and the Daimyo is generous, he has been running things in the Land of Snow for so many years.
There is no need for him to spend time running a new ninja village at all.
A few days later,
They returned to Konoha.
This time they left Konoha for almost half a year, and when they came back, things were 'different'.
The mountains were the same mountains, the water was the same water, the people were the same people, but their time had been half lost in their own worlds.
Naruto let Hinata and Ino go their separate ways, while he took Karin to the Hokage building and handed in the mission report written by Karin to Tsunade.
"The mission was completed well, this is the next mission..."
Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Naruto directly refused, "I'm not taking any missions recently."
Tsunade was slightly stunned, and then criticized sternly, "As a Konoha ninja, how can you be so lazy! Konoha still has countless missions piled up that haven't been completed, shouldn't you share some of Konoha's difficulties?"
"Stop nagging, are you possessed by old man Sarutobi?"
Tsunade: "..."
"I said I'm not doing it, so I'm not doing it. I'm leaving."
Naruto didn't give Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, any face at all, and left on his own after saying that.
Karin gave Tsunade an apologetic smile, and then hurriedly followed Naruto.
"That annoying kid!"
Tsunade pouted, looking annoyed.
But she also knew that Naruto was really going on missions too often. If you keep doing missions non-stop, everyone will feel uncomfortable, right?
Thinking like this, Tsunade understood Naruto a little bit.
But she was still a little helpless.
Looking at the S-class mission book in her hand, Tsunade said to Shizune behind her, "Go call Kakashi!"
...
Leaving the Hokage building, Karin asked worriedly, "Naruto, isn't it bad to refuse the Hokage like that?"
"What does it matter? She still owes me a favor, and I'll eat off that favor for the rest of my life!" Naruto didn't care at all.
If he didn't want to move into a bigger house in Konoha, he wouldn't have even accepted the Land of the Moon mission.
"Let's go, let's go look at houses first. The previous house was really too crowded for the two of us to live in." Naruto changed the subject.
Karin's face turned red, "I'm sorry, Naruto."
"It's good that you know you're sorry!"
Naruto glanced at Karin and said lightly, "You know that I saved your life, so you owe me a lifetime of debt, understand?"
"Understand!"
Karin said seriously, "Ever since I chose to follow Naruto, Karin will always follow Naruto! If Naruto tells me to go east, I will never go west, if Naruto tells me to get on the bed, I will never get off!"
"..."
"What the hell, just do your job well for me."
Naruto tapped Karin's head, "From now on, you should aim to be like Sarutobi Kishaku, and don't practice any ninjutsu when you have time, go learn some cooking."
"Yes, Naruto!" Karin answered, covering her head.
Naruto didn't hit her very hard, she just did that action subconsciously.
At the agency,
With their identity as Konoha ninja, Naruto and the others quickly bought the house they wanted.
This is a villa, covering an area of five hundred square meters, with front and back gardens.
It is a little smaller than Konohamaru's house, but it is already very big for two people to live in.
Looking at the house one day, signing the contract on the same day, and paying the full amount!
Because there are middlemen making the price difference, this house is not cheap, worth tens of millions!
But Naruto is now worth hundreds of millions, and a mere ten million is nothing, so he paid directly without even bargaining!
For the first time experiencing Tsukiman's feeling of spending money, Naruto only has one word to describe it - awesome!
That feeling of having endless money to spend is indeed a big shock to someone who has always been poor.
In the following days, Naruto purchased a lot of furniture.
For all the items, he only chose the expensive ones, not the right ones!
He truly experienced the feeling of being a nouveau riche.
However, this kind of life did not last long, and Naruto returned to his daily life of low desires.
In the past few months, except for going to the Land of Snow once to complete the mission of becoming a Kage, he has never left Konoha Village again.
[Ultimate Mission: Unify the Ninja World! Destroy Ootsuki Kaguya!]
[Mission Reward: I Am the World!]
[I Am the World: Become the will of the ninja world, immortal!]
The mission reward is very powerful - immortality!
It completely meets Naruto's needs.
But Naruto always felt that becoming the will of the ninja world was like being swallowed by the ninja world.
He doesn't know what it feels like to become the will of the ninja world, but he doesn't want to try it.
And this ultimate mission is very different from the previous ones!
The previous rewards were clearly One Piece-like, but suddenly it's like cultivating immortality?
Naruto felt something was wrong, so he asked Little Ai a question.
But Little Ai disappeared after releasing the ultimate mission.
No matter what he said, Little Ai never answered.
This made him have to suspect whether Little Ai was discovered by the world's will.
He had also read a lot of cultivation system novels before, knowing that some systems would plunder the power of the world, causing the world to collapse!
And the world's will, sensing the danger, would use its own methods to stop the main character of the novel!
Naruto felt that Little Ai had probably encountered this kind of trouble... Wait, am I also the main character in the novel?
The thought made Naruto briefly fall into deep self-doubt.
But he carefully thought about his past and present life, all of which were real memories, without any falsification.
So... I think, therefore I am!
Even if I am really the main character written by some dog author, then I am still real!
Naruto did not get stuck on this point!
He now has money, power, and strength, and he doesn't have enough time to enjoy life, he won't fall into nihilism at all.
What is the point of thinking about whether he is real, or the code of the system, or a character written by some dog author?
Besides making himself panic, he won't get anything!
"Karin, give me a shoulder massage."
"Yes, Naruto!"
Naruto closed his eyes and felt the comfortable massage on his shoulders.
Can some dog author enjoy this kind of life?
