Daily Life 2

After Naruto created numerous shadow clones at the altar to transport the gold coins, he returned to the treasury, gathered a batch of supplies, and brought them back to the altar for his clones to categorize.

After repeating this process many times, all the supplies from the treasury were moved to the altar, filling the secret chamber there to the brim.

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze continued to expand the large pits used for storage. Although the treasury in the Land of Waves was now empty, the altar area was already packed, necessitating the excavation of more pits to house all the materials.

Once all the supplies were transferred, Naruto returned to the treasury, where Shisui Uchiha had already completed his task and was waiting.

Seeing Naruto return, Shisui Uchiha stepped forward and asked, "Naruto, has everything inside been moved?"

"It's all been moved," Naruto nodded and said.

At that moment, Shisui Uchiha pointed to the doors that had retracted into the sides and said, "These seem to be made of a special metal. Should we take them back?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately went to inspect them. After some tapping and testing, he was certain it was a special metal, and even the walls inside were constructed from the same material.

However, he had no information about this metal in his mind, so he decided to take it back for Jiraiya to examine.

He then returned to the Land of Whirlpools, grabbed Blood Moon, and stepped out of the council chamber. He left a Flying Thunder God mark on the side before returning to the treasury. There was too much of this metal to fit at the altar, so he had to leave it outside for now.

Inside the treasury, Shisui Uchiha was enveloped in a flesh-formed Susanoo.

Perhaps because he only had one eye left, Shisui's Susanoo did not manifest any weapons; he was seen controlling the Susanoo to forcefully tear at the metal walls that were firmly fixed to the mountain.

On the other side, Naruto channeled his spiritual energy into Blood Moon and pried at it with all his might.

After a long while, Naruto and Shisui Uchiha gathered all the metal in the center. Shisui Uchiha then dispersed his Susanoo, and Naruto took him and the metal back to the side of the council chamber.

By then, Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze had come up from underground; they had hollowed out enough space below, and any further digging risked a collapse.

After returning to the surface, Jiraiya approached the pile of metal and examined it closely. A moment later, he looked up at Naruto and said, "It can be basically confirmed that this is Meteor Copper."

"Meteor Copper?" Naruto asked with a hint of confusion.

Seeing Naruto's puzzled expression, Jiraiya explained, "For the item you want me to forge, Meteor Copper is a necessity, and I am certain that this metal does not exist in the ninja world."

Naruto immediately asked, "Then where did this Meteor Copper come from?"

Jiraiya pondered for a moment before saying, "This shouldn't have been built by Gato. The Meteor Copper you brought back must have come from some clan; when assembled, these pieces of Meteor Copper form a palace."

Naruto then dragged Gato over and asked, "Where did you find this metal?"

"It was already there. When I first discovered it, the gate was open, and I didn't find anything inside. I just had people put a lock on it. I've told you everything I know, please, let me go!" Gato lay on the ground, bound, and pleaded.

Naruto nodded. If his guess was correct, it had been brought by that person, though he didn't know why they had abandoned the palace there.

He then had Jugo take Gato to the newly built prison. In the cell next to him, Hidan's head was hanging in the center by a rope.

After Jugo locked Gato in the cell and returned, Naruto said, "Next, I will assign new tasks to you all. I hope you can execute them as soon as possible."

"First, Orochimaru, go underground and set up a laboratory. I will give you Kakuzu's head and his Earth Grudge Fear; I hope you can research something useful."

"Jugo and Kimimaro, you two take Kidomaru and Ichirobo to the border of the Land of Fire to search. If there are any orphans, bring them back."

After the five nodded, Naruto turned to Minato Namikaze and said, "Dad, you and Mom go to the Land of Waves. By now, Tayuya and Sakon should have found enough workers. Please go and bring them back. Hinata will remain responsible for food supplies."

"That is everyone's task. If there is nothing else to add, go and execute them immediately."

Everyone nodded, said "Yes," and turned to leave. At that moment, Naruto called out to Kushina Uzumaki, "Mom, wait a moment."

Kushina Uzumaki turned her head and looked at Naruto, asking, "Is there another task, Naruto?"

"It's not a task; I have something to give you," Naruto said with a smile.

Naruto walked over, and Kushina Uzumaki leaned down. Naruto pressed his finger to her forehead.

A moment later, Kushina Uzumaki opened her eyes and asked, "What is this?"

Naruto quickly said, "I hope Mom will study these things carefully. I want to incorporate them when we build this land."

Kushina Uzumaki smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, leave it to Mom."

She then pulled Minato Namikaze and turned to leave. After moving a distance away, Minato Namikaze left a Flying Thunder God mark on the ground, then vanished with Kushina Uzumaki.

In the past, during the Great Ninja War, Minato Namikaze had left Flying Thunder God marks wherever he went, and the Land of Waves was no exception, so they didn't need to travel the long way.

After they left, Naruto said to Jiraiya and Shisui Uchiha, "Pervy Sage, Brother Shisui, let's go get some large trees."

After the two nodded, Naruto led them to the forest from before. The trees here were massive, making them perfect for building houses.

By evening, they stopped working because they had gathered enough timber.

They didn't clear-cut the forest; they only selected the largest trees, leaving the smaller ones to continue growing.

It wasn't that the smaller trees couldn't be used, but if they cut down all the trees in the forest, the Wood Spirit Qi here would slowly dissipate.

By only cutting the large trees, the smaller ones would receive more nutrients, ensuring the Wood Spirit Qi in the forest would persist.

Naruto had Jiraiya use Wind Release to cut the trees down, and after clearing the branches and leaves, he had Shisui Uchiha use his Susanoo to gather all the processed logs together.

Then, Naruto used the Flying Thunder God to bring them back to the Land of Whirlpools.

In the evening, back in the Land of Whirlpools, Naruto looked at the neatly stacked pile of wood and sighed, "As expected, ninjutsu is perfect for construction."

Upon their return, Hinata had already prepared dinner. Since everyone else had gone to carry out their tasks, they called Orochimaru up from underground and began to eat.

After the meal, Naruto created a shadow clone and had him take the leftovers to Gato.

Naruto hadn't captured Gato to kill him; it wasn't time for that yet, so he couldn't die just yet.

After finishing his meal, Orochimaru returned to the underground to set up his laboratory. Naruto Uzumaki had brought back a wide variety of supplies, and without bothering to take inventory, he simply told Orochimaru to use whatever he needed without having to report it.

Afterward, Naruto Uzumaki sent Shisui Uchiha to patrol the island.

Only Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata, and Jiraiya remained at the altar.

Naruto Uzumaki then turned to Jiraiya and said, "Pervy Sage, the Uchiha clan massacre should be happening around this time. We will need to return to Konoha when it does."

Jiraiya nodded upon hearing this and asked, "That's no problem, but are you planning to make a move against the Third?"

"It's not time yet." Naruto Uzumaki shook his head.

Although his current strength was already enough to defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi, that was not what he wanted. Furthermore, whenever he felt the urge to return to Konoha for revenge, a voice would always whisper in his ear, reminding him that it was not yet time.

Even though Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki had been brought back via Impure World Reincarnation, it was not a true resurrection after all.

Therefore, the matter of killing Hiruzen Sarutobi would have to wait.

Hinata listened from the side without speaking. Naruto Uzumaki had told her everything over the past few days, and Hinata had expressed her full support for his actions.

Naruto Uzumaki then spoke to Jiraiya again, "Pervy Sage, speed up your training in artifact refining. We are still short on some spatial rings."

"I'm already making preparations, but since this involves spatial aspects, we can begin once Minato Namikaze returns," Jiraiya said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki smiled, stood up, and stretched his back before saying, "That's good. The time is about right; it's time to start training."

The three of them then went to their respective training spots and began their practice.

The next day, when Naruto Uzumaki opened his eyes, he saw Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki standing in the distance, watching him.

He quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Mom, Dad, when did you get back?"

"We've been back for a while. You were in the middle of training, so we didn't want to disturb you," Minato Namikaze said with a smile.

Naruto Uzumaki continued to ask, "Did you manage to find everyone?"

"Tayuya and the others were very diligent. By the time your mother and I found them, they had already gathered all the necessary workers. We could have returned last night, but thinking that it might be a long time before they can go back, we gave them one last night to spend with their families," Minato Namikaze explained.

Naruto Uzumaki nodded and said, "That was the right thing to do. Dad, take me to see them."

Minato Namikaze led Naruto Uzumaki out of the council hall, where they saw many people busy at work in the vicinity.

At first, when they heard they were coming to the Land of Whirlpools to work, they assumed the journey would take a long time, so they had each prepared plenty of supplies.

In addition to the tools they needed, they had brought food and daily necessities.

Naruto Uzumaki counted them up; there were one hundred and thirty-six people in total, sixteen of whom were women, while the rest were sturdy, strong men.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze added, "They all come from the same village and are led by a foreman. These women were brought along to cook for them, so we only need to provide the ingredients."

Naruto Uzumaki smiled and said, "That's excellent; it saves us a lot of trouble."
