The Ninja Who Was Obviously Strong but Wanted to Retire

The Kabuto.

The Reaper Death Seal doesn't like to reason, and neither does Naruto. Kabuto hadn't shown up before, but this time Naruto found an opportunity and naturally took them all down.

He didn't even use much Chakra; he simply used a Forbidden Jutsu with no cost.

That's precisely why he dared to so recklessly distribute his Chakra to the Yugito Nii. He no longer needed these fancy fighting techniques; he could just Forbidden Jutsu as soon as they met.

If one Forbidden Jutsu can't solve the problem, then use a few Forbidden Jutsu.

More than the mess in the Shinobi World, he now cares about others; he's been waiting for this day for six years. Once he's semi-invincible, he can resolve the troubles and retire before he turns twenty.

After fighting so many wars for so many years, can't we enjoy ourselves a little?

If a person starts striving when they are young, earns enough to need, retires when they are young, and spends their life eating, drinking, Mui, and accomplishing nothing.

So when he gets old and looks back, he will find that he has really nothing to regret in his life.

Before Naruto transmigrated, he was a beast of burden, and his only wish after transmigrating was to lie down. Now he's finally getting closer to that goal, almost within reach.

With Kabuto dead, the only thing left to do is to resurrect Kaguya.

Black Zetsu had originally just stood by and watched, hoping that the dogs would fight for a while longer, and that one of them would be injured in the process. However, he never expected that the final result would be like this.

Having spent an entire winter by Kabuto's side, he naturally knew how difficult Kabuto was to deal with. Compared to Orochimaru, Kabuto was more cunning, someone who would develop several backup plans for his own schemes.

But this person was instantly defeated. All the preparations and plans turned into a dream. In the instant the Forbidden Jutsu, Reaper Death Seal, was activated, he was as weak as a child.

What surprised Black Zetsu even more was that this person was still alive.

When the Reaper Death Seal to extract the souls of others, shouldn't the Death Reaper also extract the soul of the caster? How come this is happening?

Black Zetsu looked completely bewildered, and the way he looked at Naruto changed.

However, Black Zetsu wasn't particularly afraid, since he had no soul. Naruto's Forbidden Jutsu, the Reaper Death Seal, might be intimidating enough for ninjas, but it was nothing to him.

"Kabuto has taken care of things. Now it's time to fulfill your promise, Naruto Uzumaki," Black Zetsu said casually, completely oblivious to the strange expression on Naruto's face.

"Okay." Naruto scratched his face, thinking to himself, "So what if I beat up your mother? Just wait. But before that, we need to make things clear: I'm only responsible for the four Tailed Beasts."

"The task of collecting the other five Tailed Beast is yours, is that alright?" he asked.

"Four?" Black Zetsu looked puzzled, thinking to himself that this person was going back on his word. He looked at Naruto and asked, "So, how many Tailed Beast do you have now?"

"Nine-Tails, Two-Tails," Naruto said without any hesitation.

Upon hearing the name Two-Tails, Black Zetsu's face darkened instantly. He thought to himself, "So this guy really hid Two-Tails." He had searched everywhere but couldn't find a trace of Two-Tails.

This quaint little thing is really something.

"Who are the other two?"

"I'll take care of the One-Tail Shukaku and the Eight- Tailed Beast Eight-Tails Gyuki. I hope you can collect the other five Tailed Beast soon."

Naruto stepped forward and casually patted Black Zetsu on the shoulder.

"You don't have much time left, Black Zetsu."

Black Zetsu's expression was a bit strange. No one had ever dared to pat him on the shoulder like that before, but when he thought about how this person was a crazy madman who didn't play by the rules, he immediately felt relieved.

"Of course I know, you'd better hurry up too." Black Zetsu leaving a trace and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Of course, it's a deal," Naruto said with a smile.

"Hmm." Black Zetsu nodded, noticing the atmosphere was starting to get awkward. "I hope you don't drag things out like Kabuto, otherwise..."

He wanted to say something harsh, but when the words reached his lips, he realized he had nothing that could threaten the other party. He hesitated for a moment, stood there frozen for a second, and ultimately said nothing.

"I know," Naruto replied perfunctorily, not letting the words fall to the ground.

The moment they turned around, they both rolled their eyes at the same time and cursed inwardly.

"You bitch!"

~~

The next day.

The Allied Shinobi Forces were initially bewildered when they discovered that the White Zetsu seemed to have retreated. They feared it was a trick by the White Zetsu, and only realized the truth with a pleasant surprise when news arrived from Allied Shinobi Forces respective commanders.

They won, and the five-month-long war was finally over!

Cheers erupted like a tsunami from the First Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces to the Fifth Division. They had thought the war would continue, but it ended abruptly.

Naruto went straight back to the village, spending his days keeping Ino and then Hinata, as usual. Three days passed in this way before news of the Allied Shinobi Forces' victory on the main battlefield finally arrived.

"You won?" Ino in surprise. "How did you win so suddenly? Just a few days ago, my father said that the situation on the main battlefield was becoming more and more complicated and that he wanted to go to the front line."

" With Kabuto dead, there's no one to command the White Zetsu, so we'll win." Naruto shrugged. "Isn't this a good thing? We can't really send your father to the battlefield; he's too old."

"Don't let my father hear this, or else..." Ino patted him, reached for another pastry, took a bite herself, and handed it to him.

"Your father is still in the Hokage Building, right? If you hadn't told him, how would he have known?" Naruto took the snack and took a bite; it was a little sour.

"Then I'll tell him," Ino said coquettishly.

"Then I'll have to be careful next time I come to your house, lest a plate suddenly fly over and hit me on the head."

Ino chuckled for a while, "My father would never do that. He's been an upright man his whole life, and his biggest concern has always been his work."

"He would never do something so disgraceful. If he were found out, he would be too ashamed to show his face in public."

"I'm not like your father, I don't plan to work," Naruto said with a grin. He knew what Ino wanted to hear. "I'll always be with you, and I'll take you and the kids everywhere to play."

"Really?" Ino's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Then I want to go to the Land of Wind. I heard that the oases there are really fun!"

"Who said that?" Naruto was taken aback. "I've never heard of any oasis."

"Anko said so. I met her a few days ago and we chatted for a bit," Ino said. "The Land of Wind does have oases, but you certainly wouldn't pay attention to such things."

"Anko? This woman has skipped work again to go out and have fun?" Naruto asked in surprise.

"It's possible, it's definitely possible." Ino smiled. "The village has been in a bit of a mess lately, so there haven't been many classes at the Ninja Academy."

"The war is over, and things will gradually stabilize," he reassured them.

"And what about you?"

"Me?" Naruto was a little confused. "I'll definitely settle down too. Didn't I just say I wouldn't go anywhere, I'd just stay with you?"

"What about Hinata?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Then I'll stay with you guys," Naruto changed his mind. "Anyway, I'll just stay by your side and do what I want to do. I won't think about anything else."

"When are you going to bring Hinata back?" Ino asked, frowning. "I remember you took Hinata somewhere, to the Land of Snow?"

"Let's wait a few months, until the baby is born, then bring her over. It's actually quite nice over there," Naruto said. "Hanabi is there with her; bringing her back now would be better."

"The village has just finished the war, Hyuga Clan is known for being old-fashioned. We can't just stop Hinata from going home. Now that we're back in Konohagakure, there's no reason for her not to go home."

"That's true. I was originally thinking that Hinata would come back and keep me company." Ino nodded. "But now I think it would be troublesome for her to come back. I can't let Hinata live alone in one place."

"Yeah, it's quite troublesome and it affects my mood," Naruto agreed, then after a moment of silence, he cautiously asked, "Are you really not bothered?"

"What?"

Hinata.

"What's the use of me caring now?" Ino rolled her eyes at him, Naruto immediately felt a pang of sadness.

"Well..." He was about to say something else to change the subject when Ino suddenly spoke up again, "It's not that I mind or not."

"I used to feel uncomfortable, but now that I think about it, it doesn't seem so bad," Ino said. "At least Hinata is someone I know well, and she has a good personality and a good temper."

"I can't handle you by myself. After the baby is born, most of my attention will be diverted to the baby. At that time, I won't be able to take care of you as much."

"It can be a bit boring to take care of a child alone. Even if I find someone to share the burden, I might feel better if someone is with me."

"Besides, I can be quite willful at times, and I don't know if my temper will get worse in the future. With Hinata around, at least she can keep me in check."

"Anyway, there are many benefits, so I've stopped caring about the price. Now my only thought is to wait for the baby to be born and watch the baby grow up healthy."

Naruto felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

"And what about me?"

"I don't know, we'll see how you perform," Ino snorted.

Hearing this, Naruto felt a mix of joy and desolation. He was happy because, based on his experience, this meant he still had room to maneuver.

He has performed better in the past year or two and has been able to get along with Ino and Hinata as a harmonious and loving family. There are only two key points.

One is companionship, and the other is winning over the father-in-law.

He could manage the former, and the latter was even simpler; every father-in-law, being human, would have something he wanted. Naruto just needed to cater to his desires; after all, the matter was already settled.

Naruto was thankful that this was the Shinobi World, where there really was a way to have it all.

Even in the Land of Fire, there's no strict rule about the number of partners one can have; it's just a common practice. But if the law needed to be changed urgently, Naruto could do it.

After all, what's the Daimyo of the Land of Fire? We can just rip his hood off the ground any day now.

Some things can be changed or obtained through external forces, but feelings are the only Naruto couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ino was definitely disappointed in him.

Fortunately, this is the Shinobi World. That's all Naruto could think. Luckily, this is the Shinobi World.

Power and authority can change many things; they can change a country's customs and perspectives, and they can accomplish things that seem impossible.

As Naruto left the Yamanaka Flower Shop, a gust of wind Naruto, and his eyes hardened once more.

"Things that should be done must be done, and things that shouldn't be said should not be said. I am destined to let down many people in my life, but I can also accomplish many things."

As the saying goes, extraordinary people do extraordinary things. From the beginning, Naruto knew he wasn't a naive person, yet he still put Ino and Hinata first.

He never hesitated to give Ino and Hinata his time and feelings, but in total, only 95% of his feelings were genuine, and the remaining 5% had been scattered into fragments.

Along the way, he formed bonds with countless people; the life of a ninja is quite different from that of an ordinary person. For them, the fragments represent hope.

Many things cannot be clarified by reasoning. The only thing he can do well is to figure out what he should do in Konohagakure and what he should do outside.

The Uzumaki Clan needs to be rebuilt, but is it necessary for everyone to know about this?

It seems unnecessary.

Naruto has all these skills now, but what about in the future?

He is not worried about the future of the Shinobi World now, since he will have people in the Five Kage in the future, and he will have complete and close control over them. He is very considerate.

But nothing is absolute. A hundred years from now, he also hopes to leave something behind for the Shinobi World.

The Shinobi World has no shortage of ninja clans, Naruto knows this well. The most powerful clans are the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan. Above that, there are pureblood ninjas.

The so-called ninjas are hybrids of the Otsutsuki. Naruto didn't think there was anything wrong with that, as long as the bloodline wasn't constantly purified, they wouldn't turn into monsters.

Hybrids, also known as ninjas, generally have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, and some, like Tsunade, are so gifted that they can even maintain their youth forever.

Therefore, the premise for establishing a ninja clan is that the clan's future does not evolve towards a pure-blood lineage.

The Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan are two good examples, representing two extremes. It is said that the Senju Clan disappeared without a trace, fading into obscurity.

The Uchiha Clan only grew stronger, and if it weren't for the traitor, the Uchiha Clan would definitely have become the strongest clan in the Shinobi World, and so on and so forth.

But Naruto didn't think so. If you look at things from a different angle, the conclusion will be much more interesting. From the very beginning, he had a bold guess in his mind.

When the First Generation Hashirama Senju was alive, he was practically a god in the Shinobi World. But why did the Senju Clan gradually decline? Was it really because their luck was completely drained?

Suppose that Hashirama Senju was aware of the true nature of Kekkei Genkai and intentionally or unintentionally diluted the bloodline of the Senju Clan, which is something the First Generation advocated.

Go to the ninja clan, stay in the village.

The Uchiha Clan ignored this advice and produced several geniuses in just a few decades, each one more insane than the last.
