System Maintenance
With the completion of the puppet, Naruto sensed a faint spiritual connection between himself and it.
It was somewhat similar to Orochimaru's Heaven's Curse Mark, but Orochimaru needed to split off fragments of his soul.
Naruto didn't need to; his soul was complete, so there were no flaws.
In the future, if his main body were to die unexpectedly, his soul would immediately transfer to the puppet, and he would return like lightning.
For Taiwanese novels, kan.com is the most reliable choice.
In a sense, he had now achieved true immortality.
As long as there were enough materials.
No need for extensive biomedical knowledge, no need to search for vessels everywhere, and no risk of being beaten up.
In short, it was much stronger than Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation.
But Naruto still hoped to use his original body.
It remained to be seen if he would draw any cultivation methods later.
After Sasori comes out of seclusion, he would have him gather some materials, at least to prepare a backup for Hinata.
Although both of them were very young and had no worries about their lifespan.
The next thing to consider was where to put this puppet.
Carrying it with him wasn't ideal.
If his main body died, it meant encountering a powerful enemy. If he revived on the spot, wouldn't it be like living to be sent, dying to be transferred, and transferring to be sent again?
It definitely needed to be stored in a relatively safe place.
Naruto thought for a moment and had a target in mind.
Hozukijo.
Remote and safe.
Nothing major happened there in the plot either.
At least he wouldn't encounter the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Naruto found the castle lord, Mui.
"By the way, Impel Down—oh no, have your five layers of hell been repaired?"
"It's nearing completion," Mui replied. "Only the last layer remains. Because it involves the box of bliss, we specifically hired someone to design it."
"Hmm, very good."
Naruto, in his guise as The Fool, nodded and said, "How is the current situation in Grass Hidden Village?"
"Our faction has controlled the situation," Mui said softly. "The new village chief is one of ours."
"Oh, why isn't it you?" Naruto was a bit curious.
"I must guard Hozukijo," Mui's tone conveyed his conviction. "Our clan's destiny is to prevent the box of bliss from being opened again."
"Destiny?" Naruto chuckled at the word. "Help me build a 5.5-layer hell as our organization's secret base."
Although Mui found the idea of using a prison as a secret base strange, since his boss had spoken, he nodded in agreement.
"If you don't have money, you can go to Thousand Sunny or Backstreet Girls Idol Company," Narutoadded.
Grass Hidden Village was truly poor.
Not only poor, but also particularly short-sighted.
Take Karin and her mother, for example; it was extremely absurd.
All in all, this was a Ninja Village without hope.
"...?"
Mui was stunned for a moment.
Is the Tianming Organization's business so extensive?
He had heard of these two companies.
But one was shipping, and the other was idols; they were worlds apart.
"You can also earn money yourself."
Speaking of making money, Naruto remembered his previous plan.
The Land of Grass was a country located on grasslands, with endless green pastures.
It would be a pity not to engage in large-scale cattle and sheep farming.
Of course, for Naruto, making money was secondary; he had no interest in money.
He also wondered if Hinata was beautiful, and his biggest regret was establishing the Tianming Organization... ahem, he got sidetracked.
He mainly wanted the next generation to drink safe, healthy milk.
Naruto took out a livestock development plan and handed it to Mui, saying, "Study this."
Are you guys, Tianming, really a Ninjaorganization?
Mui held the plan and fell into deep thought.
"Oh right, since you've joined the Tianming Organization, you should understand our organization's purpose."
As soon as Naruto saw his expression, he knew there was a problem with his thinking.
At this point, something very drastic was definitely needed.
He took out a large pile of White Lotus Sectdoctrines.
Mui's mouth twitched.
He increasingly felt that the Tianming Organizationwas problematic.
Especially since he couldn't understand any of the book titles.
Although he was annoyed, he couldn't find any reason to refute.
After Naruto left the Great Green Grassland, Hinata had already returned home.
He suddenly appeared on the bed, directly pressing down on her.
Hinata almost punched him, but seeing it was Naruto, she pulled back in time.
"Na... Naruto-kun, how could you..."
"Shh, don't speak."
Naruto pressed his index finger to her lips, smiling.
Hinata blinked.
She didn't understand what he wanted to do.
"Hehe, let's sleep first."
Naruto wrapped his arms around her, sighing with emotion that she had grown up.
Hinata's face turned crimson.
But nothing happened.
They didn't even take off their clothes.
Naruto was just experiencing the feeling of a real-life body pillow.
Hmm, exceptionally soft, exceptionally incredible.
In the time that followed.
Naruto lived a very comfortable life.
The Ninja World seemed peaceful.
The Akatsuki Organization was busy making money.
Backstreet Girls held concert after concert.
Finally, under the instigation of Uzumaki Menma, Konan debuted wearing a semi-hollowed mask.
As for why she wore a mask, it was because she was afraid Nagato would find out.
That's right, she was hiding it from Nagato.
Which gave Uzumaki Menma the illusion of being a cuckold.
But precisely because of this, the Akatsuki Organization earned enough money half a year ahead of schedule.
There was still half a year until he turned fifteen.
Naruto had noticeably grown taller.
Hinata was the same, having become a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair.
Hmm, the parts that should be big have already become big.
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the 'Hell Boy' achievement, gaining one regular gacha draw.]
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the'Sheep Village Guardian' achievement, gaining three attribute points.]
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the 'Vast Ocean' achievement, gaining three attribute points.]
Naruto, who was giving Hinata a shoulder massage, was a little dumbfounded when he heard the system's notification.
What kind of achievements were these?
He tried to analyze them.
The first one had the word 'hell' in it. The only hell-related thing he had done was building the prison in Hozukijo.
The second,'Sheep Village Guardian,' perhaps referred to the fresh milk company Mui opened?
As for the third, related to the sea, was it the port and shipping lanes built by Mei Terumī's side?
They all seemed quite reasonable.
As he was thinking, a few more lines of text appeared in the system.
[Congratulations to the host for completing fifty achievements.]

Damn!
This familiar sense of déjà vu.
You damn well better add 'Dear Master' to that!
Three items, the first two for now, but the third one is just too familiar!
Limited gacha pool, good heavens!
But it's not entirely unacceptable, after all, there's another way to become stronger.
If it were in his previous life, Naruto would definitely hate pay-to-win, because he was poor.
Now he really hoped these destiny stones could be bought with money.
But it probably wasn't the case.
If he could pay, he wouldn't have waited until now.
Naruto guessed it might be obtained through achievements.
Immersed in grinding the infinite pool, time, oh time, where can I squeeze it in?
