Dark Naruto's acting life

In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

This year, Naruto was nineteen years old.

It was six years after the Battle of Marineford.

Nowadays, Naruto no longer lives in the Uzushio Village, but has moved to the forest behind the Uzushio Village, settling next to Orochimaru's underground laboratory.

This place is considered a forbidden area and outsiders are generally not allowed to approach.

dong dong dong.

Naruto's residence was simple, just a small courtyard.

It is surrounded by a wooden fence and has three wooden houses inside.

There is a master bedroom, a study, a utility room and an open-air kitchen.

There is a small vegetable garden in the yard, where four or five kinds of vegetables are planted. The fruits are abundant and the quality is quite good.

Not far away, there is a paulownia tree with green shade, underneath which there is a stone table, several stone chairs, and a wobbly armchair.

At this time, Naruto was lying on the armchair, enjoying the cool breeze leisurely.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is open."

Squeak.

The courtyard door was pushed open.

A man and a woman walked in.

One of the men couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw Naruto wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts with a straw hat on his head.

Women also have mixed feelings.

If no one had told him, who would have thought that this half-grown boy would be the ninja world... no, the world's feared "human demon" Naruto Uzumaki.

"You're really laid back. I heard Gaara has been so busy lately that he's almost running out of time. Is it really okay for you to be lazy here alone instead of helping him?"

Naruto took off the straw hat that covered his head to block out the sun and sat up from the armchair.

His eyes were wrapped in gauze, so he couldn't see the person coming, but his strong sensory ability allowed Naruto to sense the person's breath.

Naruto smiled.

"Hey, long time no see, Nagato, Konan."

Although Nagato would often hold remote meetings with Naruto via a slide show, the two had indeed not met for several years.

Just like Gaara is running around to build the Whirlpool Country, Nagato and Konan are also making the final sprint for the revolution.

However, after actually seeing Konan, Naruto knew that the two of them were not only rushing for revolution, but other things seemed to be going smoothly as well.

"It seems that your lives are about to enter a new chapter."

"Hmm?" Nagato was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Naruto looked at Konan's belly and then at Nagato: "Why, so you didn't know yet?"

Nagato was not a fool, and looking at Naruto's actions and expressions, he knew exactly what he meant.

Nagato was surprised but restrained: "Konan, you..."

Konan's expression never changes, she looks like an ice goddess, but she is still embarrassed when her true colors are exposed. Under Nagato's slightly burning gaze, Konan sighed: "I was planning to tell you later. After all, this is a critical moment in the revolution, and I don't want you to be distracted."

Naruto smiled: "This is a good thing, we should celebrate. So, call Orochimaru, Kabuto and the others, I'll treat you, let's have a good gathering today."

……

Golden Sands.

This is a tourist attraction in the northern port of the Land of Whirlpools. Before, Naruto had traveled here with the little villains of Konoha.

It had not opened at that time, but now it has become one of the most famous attractions in the entire Whirlpool Country.

In addition to the beaches, bikini beauties, and the wide and warm sea, there is also one biggest and most attractive place here, which is the food street.

As for which store is the most popular, it is undoubtedly the one opened by Naruto.

The name of the restaurant is "Xiangpiaopiao" and it is famous for its various drinks and Chinese food.

Shandong cuisine emphasizes the high-quality texture of its ingredients and the authentic, fresh and salty seasonings, highlighting its original flavor.

The flavor is mainly spicy, the dishes are diverse, and the flavors are both fresh and mellow. Sichuan cuisine is known for making good use of spicy seasoning.

The taste is mainly fresh and fragrant, the ingredients are carefully selected, clear but not bland, fresh but not vulgar, tender but not raw, oily but not greasy, good at stir-frying, requiring the right heat and oil temperature for Cantonese cuisine

This restaurant may not be able to serve all eight major cuisines, but its cuisine is quite distinctive and is loved by tourists.

Of course, although Naruto is the boss behind the store, he does not participate in the management, but is a hands-off manager. The reason he opened the store is not to make money, but just to use it as a canteen.

As Naruto's canteen, he has a special courtyard behind the hotel. It is his special dining place. It's not that he is pretentious, but because of his special status, if he eats in the lobby, it is easy to cause some unnecessary trouble. He is afraid of trouble, so he set up such a special dining place.

Right now, people were coming and going in the small courtyard, some were waiters delivering food, and some were guests invited by Naruto.

Those who were invited were all familiar faces.

Needless to say, Konan, Nagato and Naruto had already been sitting at the big table in the yard.

The next one to come was Orochimaru. Several years had passed, but this guy didn't look old at all. He even began to look a bit like a snake lady from later generations.

Also accompanying them were the pharmacist Dou and his wife whom he had just married last year.

Dou has changed a lot in the past two years.

From the outside to the inside, he is completely different from the gloomy, cunning and elusive supporting villain of that year.

Dou has the habit of pushing up his glasses. When he pushes up the lenses, no one can see his eyes clearly, just like his unfathomable personality.

But now, he has taken off those glasses.

Those eyes were full of spirit and their determination was frightening.

From what Naruto said, it looked like he wanted to join the party.

By the way, Dou also holds an important position, serving as both the Minister of National Intelligence and a diplomat, and is extremely busy every day.

However, this guy's ability is indeed beyond reproach. He even has time to find himself a wife after work.

His wife's name is Yakushi Misaki. She had met Kabuto a few years ago when Kabuto and Orochimaru came to the Land of Whirlpools for the first time and they met on the street by chance.

At that time, he felt that Misaki looked very similar to his "mother" pharmacist Nono, not only in appearance, but even the surname and temperament were very similar, so he became interested in her, and whenever he had time, he would go to the clinic run by pharmacist Misaki to chat with her.

Thanks to his excellent medical ninjutsu skills, Kabuto Yakushi and Misaki Yakushi had a lot of common topics, and after a few visits, the two became familiar with each other. Finally, Kabuto Yakushi learned from Misaki that she was actually related to Nono Yakushi.

Misaki is the younger sister of Yakushi Nono.

Yakushi Nono is a smart person. She works in the intelligence field and she once served under the Root. It goes without saying what kind of person the Root's leader Danzo is. In order to be on the safe side, she had the foresight to send the then young Misaki to live in seclusion in the Land of Whirlpools.

But I didn't expect that our separation would last forever.

Perhaps this is what is called fate. Two people who are related but have never met each other come together after more than ten years.

Dou's change also stems from this.

Kabuto used to be very confused. He didn't know who he was or why he appeared in this world. But after meeting Misaki, he had a goal and became clear about his identity. Not long after he realized that Misaki was pregnant, he regarded the Utopia Project as a major goal in his life, because he didn't want his child to experience the same pain as himself.

After Kabuto, Gaara came hurriedly.

"Hey, Gaara, what's wrong with your eyes?" Naruto greeted enthusiastically.

"How dare you say that? You're hiding in the back mountain doing nothing. Do you know how many meetings I have to attend, how many documents I have to sign, and how many people I have to meet in a day?" Gaara resisted the urge to hit Naruto to death.

Gaara is only a young man of twenty years old.

But this young man doesn't look energetic at all, and the dark circles under his eyes are more serious than when he was a teenager. Fortunately, the young man is still handsome, so the dark circles can be ignored.

However, his mental state was indeed not good, after all, he had too heavy a burden on his shoulders.

If you have to say, he is a bit like Naruto in the Boruto period. He does a lot of heavy work, and relies on his strong physical fitness to stay up all night and work day and night. If he continues like this, it is only a matter of time before he evolves into the future "oily-haired form".

After Gaara, there are two girls, Uzumaki Inari and Uzumaki Karin.

Uzumaki Inari is the princess of the Uzumaki clan. When she was first seen, she was just a little girl who looked like a beggar. This year, she is already a 15-year-old girl, 1.7 meters tall with a well-proportioned figure. Born with the body of an immortal, she possesses extremely terrifying strange powers. Now, her muscles make even some men feel inferior to them. But those muscles don't make her look ugly. On the contrary, with her baby face, there is a kind of strange beauty. It's just that this girl doesn't know how to dress. She has a bun on her head but wears a blue cheongsam, which looks out of place.

Karin is almost twenty years old.

If her life had followed its original trajectory, she would have been taken in by Orochimaru, and then when she was sixteen, she would have formed a team with Sasuke to become a ninja and get beaten up.

At that time, Karin was like a hot-tempered little pepper. She dared to scold anyone she saw except Sasuke.

That was the character she formed in order to protect herself. After all, although Orochimaru protected her, he was not a good person. Karin could only rely on herself to survive, so she developed that aggressive character.

But at the moment, thanks to the protection of Naruto and the Land of Whirlpools, Karin has retained her gentle personality. Although she will still explode and hit people when she is angry, it is difficult for ordinary people to see that side of her.

Overall, Karin is a lady. Today she was wearing a white skirt with a purple shirt underneath, a pair of black-framed glasses on her nose, red hair that fell to her waist, a pair of black high heels on her feet, and two books in her hands. It looked like she had rushed here right after class.

That's right, Karin is now a teacher in the Ninja School.

Uzumaki Inari pulled open the chair next to Naruto and sat down without any courtesy. She complained to Naruto, "Naruto-chan, why don't you say something about that idiot Sasuke? Recently, he refuses to spar with me. He said I'm a noob and asked me to practice more. You know, I used to be able to hold him down, but now he's only a little bit stronger than me, but he's acting so arrogant and saying that the past was the past and the present is the present. It makes me so mad."

Naruto smiled but said nothing.

Sasuke is indeed a genius. Over the years, he has learned a lot from me, and his absorption ability is far beyond that of ordinary people. He even learned the magic of the Ryuchi Cave through Orochimaru, and his strength has firmly reached the level of Kage.

It is unlikely to make progress in a short period of time.

Nowadays, his main focus is no longer on training, but on finding his long-missing brother, Uchiha Itachi.

Speaking of Itachi, Naruto is actually looking for him as well.

In other words, trying to get some information about Akatsuki through Itachi.

If he wants to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he must gather all the tailed beasts. Right now, he has the Nine-Tails, Three-Tails, and One-Tails, but the remaining ones have all been taken away by Akatsuki. Most of the members of Akatsuki have been subdued by him using other skills, leaving only Black Zetsu and Uchiha Itachi missing.

The two of them seemed to have really disappeared from this world.

Black Zetsu is easy to understand. After all, it is not surprising that a monster that has lived for a thousand years has some means of hiding. But Uchiha Itachi... Naruto would rather believe that he is dead. After all, his illness is a time bomb.

Soon, footsteps were heard again.

The two footsteps interrupted Naruto's thoughts.

Naruto looked up and saw two figures approaching together.

——Hinata and Ino.

The former wore a plain white and blue patterned cheongsam, black high heels, and had a waterfall of black hair. She had a graceful temperament and was beautiful and charming.

The latter is dressed as hot as ever, with a white sleeveless vest that reveals her proud cleavage and eye-catching abdominal muscles, a black long skirt and black open-toed high-heeled sandals.

Hinata's appearance is comparable to Ino's, but their temperaments are very different. In comparison, Ino is more eye-catching.

After all, Ino has been famous for her hot outfits since she was a child, and she has become more daring in her thinking and dressing when she grew up. It is no exaggeration to say that her fashion sense is more than 20 years ahead of the ninja world. She immediately amazed everyone as soon as she appeared.

More than two years ago, the rest of Konoha's weaklings had left, leaving only two.

On the surface, the explanation was that Xiaoqiang and his friends needed someone to take care of their assets here, and the two of them stayed in the Whirlpool Country to take care of the businesses left behind by others, but everyone actually knew why.

Ino is very excited today because the agreed date will be in a few days.

But when she saw that the seat next to Naruto was already occupied, she couldn't help but freeze in expression. As for why, only she knew.

Naruto seemed unaware, and after the last two people sat down, he raised his glass and said, "Everyone is here, let's start the party right away."

……

The meal lasted from four or five in the afternoon to nine in the evening.

After three rounds of drinks, the guests were all in high spirits.

Soon, several young female guests left together, leaving only a few men at the table.

They have something to say.

Nagato spoke first: "The revolutionary plan has been laid out. If we want, we can start a rebellion against the nobles in several countries at the same time."

Gaara intertwined his fingers and rested his elbows on the table: "The Whirlpool Country has gradually become stable. If we want to make further progress in technology, we need more talents. Our local resources have been used up far less. It is indeed time to move the basic foundation of other countries."

Everyone turned their eyes to Naruto.

I saw the corners of his mouth curled up: "If that's the case, then let's get started, one by one, no need to rush."

……

That night.

Gaara, Kabuto, Nagato and others all went back.

Only Orochimaru was still sitting with Naruto at the dining table.

"I can't believe how many years have passed. Nagato and Kabuto both have their own children."

Somehow, Naruto felt like Orochimaru was hiding something from his words.

Come to think of it, the five-year agreement between Orochimaru and him had long passed.

He also told Orochimaru that he could stay or go as he pleased, but the latter's reply was simple, that it might be more interesting to follow Naruto, so the cooperative relationship between the two was preserved. Of course, Naruto had already sent the agreed information to Orochimaru.

The Otsutsuki clan, that clan will come looking for him sooner or later. Naruto guessed that the reason why Orochimaru continued to cooperate with him was probably because he wanted to rely on his own strength to capture people from the Otsutsuki clan for his research.

And his guess was correct. If he could really catch the Otsutsuki's people, Orochimaru would definitely be a person he could not avoid.

Back to the topic, Naruto leaned back in his chair and touched his chin with his hand: "Mr. Orochimaru, I think you are such a sentimental person. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."

Orochimaru chuckled, his smile still as creepy as ever: "Naruto-kun, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? That little girl Ino is probably waiting for you outside, don't you want to go out and take a look?"

Naruto was silent.

He naturally knew that Ino was waiting for him outside, and he was waiting for Ino to leave, so he didn't leave for a long time.

Orochimaru seemed to see through everything. He smiled and said, "What are you hesitating about? That child has waited for so many years. You should give her an explanation."

Naruto was silent.

But finally, he stood up and strode out the door.

The night is already deep.

The beach is very lively during the day, with people coming and going, but at this time, it is no longer open to the public. The lights on the roadside are turned off, and the whole beach is dark. The sea water ebbs and flows, and the constant sea breeze makes people feel a little cold.

At the entrance of the hotel, Ino was leaning against a coconut tree alone.

The wind blew her long hair, and the cold moonlight illuminated his face.

When she saw Naruto appear, her eyes became a little wet, but she quickly wiped them away herself.

Ino said nothing, turned and walked away, with Naruto following closely behind her, not too far away.
