On the road.
Naruto was chatting with his mother in the Sealing Space.
Originally, Kushina didn't care how long it would take to be revived, because in the Sealing Space, she could see her son Naruto and husband Minato every day.
But, after seeing the current situation in Konoha, she wanted to help Minato.
She also wanted to create a better living environment for Naruto.
After Naruto learned of Kushina Uzumaki's thoughts, he also began to consider how to revive his mother in a short time.
To revive someone, the first thing is Orochimaru's Edo Tensei.
As long as Kushina Uzumaki's soul can be summoned using Edo Tensei, then she can be revived using Rinne Rebirth or Reanimation Jutsu!
"It seems I need to contact Nagato earlier!" Naruto muttered.
Just as Naruto was thinking about reviving Kushina, he heard a few people gossiping in the ruins.
"Hehehe, have you heard? The Mitsui family actually plans to move into the Konoha New District and even got an interest-free loan!"
"Mitsui? I heard his family runs a bookstore!"
"Tch, that bookstore isn't theirs. It seems the Mitsui family's old lady helped Lord Jiraiya, one of the Three Sannin, and that's how they got the right to use that bookstore! It's just the right to use it, the house still belongs to Konoha Village!"
"Oh, but it's also good to be able to buy a house of your own with an interest-free loan."
"Tch, do you really think Konoha's higher-ups are stupid? As long as you take out an interest-free loan, it means you might be tied to Konoha for the rest of your life!"
"So, I would rather die than go to that Konoha New District!"
"That's right. I'd rather die than go!"
"Tch, those who want to go are clearly afraid of the Fourth Hokage, and that demon—"
Before the two words 'demon fox' were finished, another person covered his mouth and glanced in Naruto's direction.
Their words were not whispered, as if they were deliberately said for Naruto to hear.
Naruto, however, felt indifferent.
When the Konoha New District is completed, these idiots will probably regret it.
Perhaps in a few years, it won't be so easy to buy one! Not to mention whether they'll sell, just the housing prices, these idiots probably won't be able to afford them!
And for those who are entering the Konoha New District now, they are fully enjoying the benefits!
As for their reasons for joining, whether it's out of guilt or trust in Minato Namikaze, it all shows that these people still have some kindness and gratitude.
Naruto returned home.
He planned to contact Orochimaru first, and then go to Itachi and the others to discuss the meeting with the Akatsuki Organization.
In the virtual world.
Chang Sheng Zhe Guild.
"I say, Orochimaru, no wonder you weren't active in your work a while ago. So you already entered the virtual world and occupied a territory early on!"
Kakuzu, who had just entered the virtual world not long ago, joined Orochimaru's Chang Sheng Zhe Guild.
After a few days of experience, Kakuzu also gained some understanding of the virtual world.
It has to be said that the virtual world is indeed very magical, and it indeed has great development value.
Most importantly, he heard Naruto say how to make money using the virtual world!
"If you want to become strong, you have to spend money. If you don't spend money, what the hell are you playing?"
This was the game's motto that Naruto told him, and naturally, this sentence also fit his personality very well.
If you don't have money, what virtual game are you playing?
However, the current virtual game market is still a bit small, only a small part of the Land of Fire.
When the virtual helmet expands to the entire Ninja World, and no one can leave the virtual world, that's when it's time to harvest the leeks.
Orochimaru naturally didn't know about Naruto and Kakuzu's dealings.
Although he didn't know, he had some guesses.
After all, he knew Kakuzu's personality very well: a pure money-grubber.
Controlling Kakuzu is very simple: first, with money, and second, by threatening his life.
As for why life comes in second place? Because, as long as there is enough money, life can be second.
Simply put, three words describe it: "need more money."
"Hehehe, doing those boring missions is certainly not as interesting as developing power in the virtual world."
Orochimaru said with a smile.
Just then, Sasori also walked over.
"Orochimaru, help me."
Although Sasori has an artificial body, it doesn't prevent him from playing virtual games.
"Hmm? Lord Sasori, is there anything you need my help with?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Sasori nodded and said, "I'm fighting the manipulator, this wild field BOSS!"
"Oh, it's the manipulator! Alright! Tell me when it appears, and I'll take you to snatch it! But... I can't guarantee 100% success!"
"Hmm, I know!"
Sasori, who had played in the virtual world for a few days, naturally knew that wild field BOSSes are very difficult to snatch!
Just then, Naruto's figure suddenly appeared between the three of them.
"Eh? Naruto-kun, do you need something from me again?"
"Orochimaru, how far along is your Edo Tensei research?"
Hearing Naruto's words, Orochimaru frowned and said, "The research is almost done! But it's still a bit unstable! A charm is needed to control the people summoned by Edo Tensei!"
Naruto didn't expect Orochimaru to have researched Edo Tensei to such an extent!
But thinking that Orochimaru had already completed Living Corpse Reincarnation, Naruto felt a little relieved!
"After a while, I hope you can help me use Edo Tensei on my mother!"
"Hmm? Are you going to revive Kushina? How are you going to do it?" Orochimaru asked with interest.
Hearing the word 'revive', Sasori's gaze also turned to them.
Sasori also had someone he wanted to revive, and that was his parents.
In fact, the reason he became the way he is now is also related to not having his parents' companionship.
It was also because of his parents' death that he embarked on the path of seeking eternity!
Naruto naturally noticed Sasori's gaze, and he didn't avoid Sasori's meaning. For no other reason, Sasori's grandmother also had a means of reviving people.
If Nagato's side didn't work out, he could only rely on Sasori's grandmother, Granny Chiyo!
"That's right. If Edo Tensei can be successfully performed, I know two ways to revive people!"
"One is your Akatsuki Organization leader's Rinnegan," Naruto said, glancing at Sasori, and continued, "and the other is the Reanimation Jutsu used by Granny Chiyo of Sand Ninja Village."
Hearing Granny Chiyo's name, Sasori's body also trembled! But very quickly, he hid his emotions.
