"How's the communicator coming along?" he asked.

"It will take some time, technically," Ino said, counting on her fingers. Naruto didn't quite understand, but he listened anyway.

On Blue Star, that thing can be traced back to ancient bamboo messengers, which used long tubes to transmit sound. The speed of sound transmission depends on the medium, and later the telephone was invented.

Konohagakure also has local communication devices, similar to walkie-talkies. However, the walkie-talkie communication function will fail beyond a certain distance.

There are also long-distance video conferences between the Five Great Nations, which are basically a few small black and white TVs stacked together; those are considered high-end equipment.

The Land of Fire's technology is indeed lagging behind, but technology in this world is still relatively new. Furthermore, the power of Jonin can indeed render many weapons ineffective, so technology hasn't changed the world so quickly.

But Naruto also knew that in a few years at most, these old fogies of Konohagakure would soon realize what it meant for adults to have changed times. Telephones and cell phones would be commonplace, but everything that flew in the sky and swam in the sea would undergo earth-shattering changes.

The foundation of all of that is that this world has a certain level of technological development. There are electrical wires and modern furniture, and apart from the three ninjas who lead a miserable life, everyone's life is quite normal.

Secondly, the existence of Chakra, this energy, is even more mysterious than the technological energy of Blue Star. Perhaps we don't need to resort to quantum mechanics when in doubt; we can just go straight to Chakra theory.

Chakra is essentially extraterrestrial energy, and ninjas often have some alien blood. Therefore, chakra energy cannot be measured by common sense, just as the Land of Lightning can even build cannons capable of hitting the moon.

To some extent, Naruto prefers to see it as a weapon like a star destroyer from a science fiction world. In other words, there is still a lot of room for development in Chakra energy.

Perhaps one day, the sky and the sea will be fully explored, and the people of the Hokage world might even leave their planet and venture into deep space. After all, the foundation is there, and deep space will eventually be explored.

This is the life Naruto wanted to see, and it's also the reason why Ino created the communicator.

The world is becoming more and more convenient and fun, which makes life more interesting. Watching a few idiots patiently plotting revenge, trying to force the whole world to agree with their ideology, is just too despicable. Who else should we kill but them?

Naruto isn't mean at all, so he can't empathize and doesn't think the world is wrong. The only one at fault is the Otsutsuki, but that thing is just too difficult to deal with.

Since they call themselves gods, they must possess a certain power. Professional matters should be handled by professionals; he felt Orochimaru would likely be interested in the Otsutsuki Clan.

After all, they are the source of our bloodline. If we could pull them down from their divine thrones, their expressions would certainly be priceless. For example, we could infuse them with some human blood and re-edit their genes.

If God is blasphemed, then he is no different from pigs and dogs that roam the earth.

Of course, he couldn't possibly have come up with such a vicious idea; only a mad scientist like Orochimaru could conceive of such inhuman thoughts.

In this way, the Otsutsuki's threat to destroy the world is no longer so troublesome. After all, aliens are rather dull-witted; as long as one is ruthless enough, even gods can be kept at home.

But often, humanity itself is the most terrifying thing; the human heart is not to be looked at directly. Because humans all look pretty much the same, without digging into their hearts, it's impossible to tell a person from a ghost.

However, those were not things he should consider. Naruto felt that he wouldn't live past a hundred years old at most, and by then it wouldn't be the era when everyone was in the world and interstellar warships were flying everywhere.

His next plan was simple: drag Orochimaru into it and leave the Otsutsuki members to Shinobi World like slaves. To correspond with the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, he called it the Desecrate Gods Plan.

In this way, he wouldn't have to disrupt his existing peaceful life and run around under the guise of a savior.

He declined to comment on Orochimaru. They had fought before, and Orochimaru had even pierced his heart. But strictly speaking, he still had to call Orochimaru his senior apprentice.

The second-generation ninja always manages to make connections wherever he goes, which, in hindsight, isn't necessarily a bad thing. Being stabbed by his martial uncle could lead to either a blood feud or a chance to become friends.

Thinking about it this way, the world is actually quite gentle.

"Are you daydreaming?"

"Uh," Naruto somewhat embarrassedly. He had just been concentrating intently, but lately he'd been so busy that he'd unconsciously started thinking about things a little further ahead.

"You said that after the communicator is made, what will happen to the village?" Ino said, her confidence waning by the end, her face full of worry.

I don't know who was acting all high and mighty the day before yesterday, eager to immediately go into seclusion and research, hoping to quickly develop a communicator. But after only two days, they've already given up.

"Let's see, it's probably going to work." Naruto wanted to explain that times had changed, but then he thought he couldn't just tell Ino that he had watched Hokage.

It won't be long before Danzo falls from power. Unlike the plot, Tsunade had already planned this years ago; she would drag a bunch of old fogies down with her.

This is a major reshuffle within Konohagakure, possibly unprecedented in scale. From the Root Ninja to the Hokage, everyone will be replaced by Kakashi's lineage, which Tsunade had prepared long ago.

It's probably the same old Will of Fire again, burning oneself to pave the way for the next generation. However, compared to the Third Hokage, Tsunade is more willing to trust the younger generation, and her methods are more decisive.

More importantly, she wanted to get off work.

Seeing that Ino wasn't in good spirits, Naruto chatted with her briefly before preparing to leave. There seemed to be no point in lingering there any longer.

He was almost at the shop entrance on the first floor when Ino suddenly rushed down the stairs and, taking advantage of his inattention, hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him for a while.

"You"

There's nothing there!

With a bang, she slammed the roller shutter door shut at the shop entrance. Naruto was taken aback for a few seconds, then couldn't help but find it amusing; this girl was growing up quite quickly.

It even sticks out its tongue on its own, tsk.

After leaving the Yamanaka Flower Shop, he made a detour to the Satomi Hill Villa, forced Ido out of Yakumo Kurama's body, and beat him up again without saying a word.

Taming monsters is actually quite simple: don't reason with them, just smash their fangs and give them a good beating. If they resist and try to insult you, then kill them.

Anyway, it can't be killed, and it'll be a good monster again the next day.

Yakumo Kurama crouched in the corner, watching Ido get beaten to a pulp. Ironically, apart from the head not resembling hers, Ido's body was a one-to-one replica of her.

At that moment, she shuddered at the sight of Ido's fate. Compared to the grotesque Ido, Naruto seemed more like a ruthless devil.

After Naruto finished his work, Ido returned to her body, half-dead. Yakumo Kurama carefully stood up and asked in a low voice.

"Um... I want to ask you for a favor."

"What?" He turned to look at the trembling Yakumo Kurama, somewhat surprised that she dared to speak to him. "Get to the point."

"I want to be a ninja," Yakumo Kurama said.

"Isn't your health failing? Kurenai Yuhi should have told you that, right?" Naruto frowned. Now that he was an adult, he was too lazy to call Kurenai Yuhi- sensei Tenten.

Anyway, she wasn't really a teacher; Ino was just pretending to be well-behaved when she was younger. This was to prevent Kurenai Yuhi from finding out about Tenten and her relationship with Asuma while they were together, and then causing Hinata to have less contact with her.

But now we can stop pretending and lay our Jonin here are nobodies.

"Yeah, I know, but I still want to give it a try." Yakumo Kurama said with a bit of courage. "After thinking about it, my parents also want me to become a ninja."

"Although the mistakes of the past cannot be undone, I still want to continue their last wishes."

He frowned deeply. "Okay, I understand. I'll ask around for you. If there are other solutions, I'll let you know, though it might not yield any results."

At this point, Naruto paused slightly, suddenly remembering Kimimaro. Kimimaro, too, had a failing body, constantly pushing himself to the limit, ultimately turning to skeletal remains.

Gekko Hayate seems to be physically weak as well. It's somewhat like a genetic disease. Just like among mutants, there are always a few with incredible abilities but incredibly frail bodies.

If it's a bloodline disease, then it's much more complicated. Only Orochimaru would likely have a solution, since he's a professional. Perhaps you could ask him sometime.

He didn't pay much attention to Yakumo Kurama, and if it weren't for Ido's option, he probably wouldn't have even given Yakumo Kurama a second glance.

Even though Yakumo Kurama was fairly good-looking, her face became much smaller as she grew up; you could pinch it with one hand. She had a sickly appearance, looking just like Lin Daiyu.

But he disliked this sickly and naive child, and agreeing to her request was essentially a form of compensation for her. In return, she had to keep the secret of Ido's continued existence from everyone.

Furthermore, she had to continue acting as Ido's vessel until Naruto was finished.

Yakumo Kurama vaguely knew that Naruto was after Ido within her, and also roughly knew that he had no other intentions towards her. After careful consideration, she made the request to become a ninja.

In her eyes, this was an exchange of interests.

Before long, Naruto left without looking back. It was already afternoon when he got home. He first went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, drank it, and then lay down on the sofa to rest.

The calendar on the table was circled in red, indicating that I would be accompanying Hinata to the Jonin Exams training tomorrow. Kurama (the Nine-Tails) had disappeared somewhere and hadn't returned by evening.

With a tinkling sound, the wind chimes hanging on the balcony rang.

The Nine-Tails- Tails crept stealthily into the living room from the balcony, first tentatively craning its neck to peek into the living room. Seeing Naruto lying there watching it, it gave a slightly guilty smile.

"Where did you go?"

"Nowhere, just wandering around." Nine-Tails strolled slowly towards the room with a Tom-like gait, slamming the door shut behind him, not daring to talk to Naruto any longer.

"This idiot dog's been acting strange lately," Naruto muttered to himself, scratching his face.
