Sitting in the yard at the entrance of the villa, Yang Tao watched Naruto lying on the red wool bed.
"Kushina's Chakra is quite resilient."
The flow of time within the sealed space was different from the outside world, being somewhat faster, as it was a 'mental' exchange after all.
Looking at the tear stains on Naruto's face, Yang Tao smiled helplessly.
From his God's perspective, death was hardly a big deal in the Naruto World. Even without using resurrection Ninjutsu like Rinne Rebirth or Living Corpse Reincarnation, one could use Edo Tensei to summon people from the Pure Land for a chat, only consuming one White Zetsu each time.
As long as White Zetsu cultivation technology was developed, then in the Naruto World, it would essentially be possible to achieve intercommunication between the Pure Land and the Ninja World. The only trouble was that the Pure Land seemed to affect souls, and apart from Uchiha Madara, other deceased souls apparently didn't want to be revived.
"Mom!"
After shouting, Naruto sat straight up from the wool bed. He looked around blankly and, upon seeing Yang Tao, a simple and honest smile appeared on his face. He reached out and scratched his golden hair, saying, "I'm sorry, I was rude."
Looking at Naruto, who seemed much more mature, Yang Tao nodded gently, a warm smile on his face, and said, "Alright, Naruto, there's no need to mourn too much. When your strength reaches a certain level, you'll still be able to see them again."
He then told Naruto about Ninjutsu such as Edo Tensei, Rinne Rebirth, and Living Corpse Reincarnation.
"Huh?"
Naruto, moonlight, beach…
"It…it can be done like this?"
"Anything is possible, provided you become strong enough. Otherwise, you won't even be able to defeat Danzo, and talking about anything else is just wishful thinking."
Naruto immediately jumped off the bed and walked to Yang Tao's side: "Can you teach me?"
Hearing Naruto speak respectfully, Yang Tao was a little unaccustomed for a moment. He also didn't know how far such a Naruto would go in the future.
"Alright, catch this."
Yang Tao took out a character creation book and a Kunai from his backpack and handed them to Naruto, instructing, "Open the book, and you'll see the prompts appearing before your eyes. Choose Human and Doctor."
He felt that instead of letting Naruto develop in all aspects, it would be better to let him directly maximize his strengths until others couldn't see his weaknesses.
Naruto with Uzumaki physique + Nine-Tails Jinchuriki + Doctor + Armament Haki + Iron Body + Life Return + Sage Mode.
Yang Tao felt that once Naruto fully matured, he alone might be able to seal Kaguya. As for whether he could defeat her… that remained to be seen, as that old woman was truly abnormal.
Naruto opened the character creation book with a half-believing, half-doubting expression, startled by the prompt page that suddenly appeared before him. He pointed with his finger and exclaimed, "Ah, how amazing!"
Slap…
Yang Tao helplessly put a hand to his forehead and sighed. Sure enough, the serious Naruto just now was an illusion; this startled and surprised Naruto was the real Naruto.
He punched Naruto on the head, guiding him to change professions step by step.
The next morning.
Yang Tao cleared the tower once and obtained many new spoils of war. He looked at Naruto and Sasuke, who were exchanging words, and said with a smile:
"Sasuke, Naruto, it's a bit dangerous for you to stay in the Ninja World. Come with me, I'll take you to another place where there are countless strong people. What you need to do is defeat them."
Upon hearing Yang Tao's words, Sasuke's face showed a puzzled expression: "Another place? Strong people?"
Yang Tao nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Once you achieve your goals, I will bring you back. By then, you will surely be able to fulfill your respective wishes."
"And you, Zabuza, you and Haku will go together. Once they return, you will be free."
Zabuza's eyes lit up slightly. He subtly glanced at Haku beside him: "Understood, sir."
He bent down and picked up Sai, whose Chakra was sealed, and summoned a wooden door.
"Teacher, where are we going?"
Suddenly hearing Naruto's voice, he almost stumbled and fell. Looking at Naruto, who seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, he said, "Naruto, um… You can just call me Boss, like Sasuke. Don't call me Teacher, it sounds awkward to me."
"Huh? Boss?"
"Just Boss."
Naruto nodded with some disappointment and said, "Alright…"
The group followed Yang Tao, transferring through the Overworld to the world of One Piece. The only difference was that Yang Tao had a Blue Bird on his shoulder.
He took out milk and forcibly pried open Sai's mouth to undo Danzo's Tongue Curse Seal.
Tongue Curse Seal: A cursed seal Ninjutsu exclusive to the Konoha ANBU "Root," which places a cursed seal on the tongue. Danzo used this to restrain his subordinates, preventing them from revealing secrets about him. After Danzo's death, these cursed seals became ineffective.
"Blue Bird, clear his knowledge of Danzo, and also… obey me."
"No problem, Master."
Sai was now a machine. Instead of spending time gradually influencing him, Blue Bird was more practical.
The others saw Yang Tao's actions and didn't find anything wrong with them. Even Zabuza felt that Yang Tao was too soft-hearted; if someone was an enemy, they should be killed.
Even including him.
But following Yang Tao now was quite good too.
The group looked around with curious and wary eyes. Naruto looked at the sea and said, "It's just like Land of Waves!"
Looking at the innocent Naruto, Yang Tao chuckled and patted his head, saying, "Alright, the two worlds are very similar, but they are completely different worlds."
"Now, your mission is very simple: use the materials on the island to build a ship, then become a pirate hunter on the high seas, capturing all the pirates you encounter and exchanging them for bounties."
"You need to go from the East Blue to Loguetown, then through Reverse Mountain to the Grand Line, and finally capture a pirate named Luffy. By then, you can go home."
"Huh?"
Naruto showed an idiotic expression. He knew every word Yang Tao said, but when they were put together, he was stumped.
Sasuke also had a questioning look.
Yang Tao said with a smile, "Of course, I also allow you to recruit companions locally."
"I will arrange for someone to teach you well about the East Blue, and also precautions for sea voyages."
Naruto = Monkey D. Luffy, Sasuke = Roronoa Zoro, Zabuza can make a cameo as Sanji, and Haku would naturally be Nami.
Another protagonist group appeared.
One pirate, one pirate hunter…
'Should I create another protagonist Marine group and protagonist Revolutionary Army? This kind of raising will definitely be strong…'
"Also, I warn you, never, ever eat any fruits with patterns, like these."
Saying this, Yang Tao took out several Devil Fruits from his backpack and showed them to the group.
The group nodded slightly.
"Go, go chop down trees first. I'll go call someone to teach you about East Blue navigation."
