I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

If his mother's clan had indeed infiltrated the ninja world, and even cultivated pawns to test him, then he would have to hide himself even better.

Similarly, he must quickly cultivate the fighting force that can assist him in fighting against his mother's people.

"Understood, I will arrange it!" Gamamaru replied immediately after receiving instructions from Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

It was actually more wary of the Otsutsuki clan than Hagoromo Otsutsuki was.

Just like Kaguya Otsutsuki back then, if it hadn't intervened in time to guide her, the entire ninja world would have been drained dry if the Divine Tree had been allowed to grow unchecked.

Similarly, if another member of the Otsutsuki clan were to arrive, how could a native like it possibly survive?

"That old bastard Danzo has some nerve, actually daring to use me to eliminate dissidents. If he wasn't still somewhat useful, I would have killed him back then."

Inside the office on the eighth floor of Xingchen Building.

While handling official business, Naraku couldn't help but think of the memories he had read from the heads of Nara Shikaku and the other two yesterday.

Although Minato Namikaze's escape was somewhat regrettable, he temporarily suppressed the matter and did not pursue it further because it might involve Gamamaru, an old monster closely connected with Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

However, the memories extracted from the heads of Nara Shikaku and the other two afterwards made Naraku somewhat unhappy.

From the memories of Nara Shikaku and the other two, Naraku learned that during this period in Konoha, Danzo had been suppressing the Uchiha clan as planned.

At the same time, the struggle for power further plunged Konoha into more conflicts.

Naraku was satisfied with Danzo's actions.

However, he was unhappy that Danzo had sent Minato Namikaze and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio to assassinate him.

How could he not see Danzo's true intentions?

It's only because Danzo made great contributions to weakening Konoha that he could have made them suffer the same fate as Hiruzen Sarutobi by now.

"They're just bored. What are the others in Konoha up to? They've already been oppressed by Danzo to this extent, yet they're still enduring it. Could it be that they really intend to become Danzo's dogs?" Naraku wondered.

Danzo performed exceptionally well; in comparison, the rest of Konoha were quite disappointing.

Naraku originally thought that under Danzo's oppressive rule, the other people in Konoha would soon rise up in rebellion, and then the two sides would fight each other, further weakening Konoha's foundation.

Unexpectedly, the other people in Konoha were like dogs.

Faced with Danzo's relentless pressure, they have yet to make any significant moves.

Naraku was somewhat angry at his lack of ambition for such a performance.

"My lord, the heads of Ino-Shika-Cho have been hung at the city gate."

Just as Naraku was contemplating whether he should go to Konoha and add fuel to the fire, provoking the other villagers to rebel against Danzo, Garuda, swaying her increasingly voluptuous figure, walked into the office.

Looking at the poised and elegant Garuda standing across the desk, Naraku composed himself and asked, "What's the reaction from the people in the city?"

Jia Liuluo thought for a moment and said, "Our own people are mostly amazed, while outsiders are more nervous."

The purpose of hanging the heads of Nara Shikaku and his two companions at the castle gate was to intimidate them, and naturally, it would reveal their identities.

"Nervous? It's good to be nervous. Being nervous makes you more sensible!" Naraku smiled slightly.

This is the effect he wants.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio is quite famous in the ninja world.

Even though Nara, Shikaku, and the other two had only recently taken office, the use of their heads as a deterrent against the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who were the leaders of the three clans, was clearly effective.

Chapter 186 Contrast! Accountability!

"By the way, how's your cultivation going lately?"

After a brief discussion about the deterrent effect, Naraku casually asked Garuro a question.

Although the other person's main job was as a secretary, he also frequently gave guidance to him in his spiritual practice.

"It went very smoothly. With the guidance of the master, the chakra refinement brought by the [Star], and the resources such as Tiger Wolf Pill and Heavenly One Divine Water, I have made great progress in both Magnet Release and other aspects."

"Based on my last sparring session with Lady Nonou, she mentioned that my strength is already at the first stage of elite Jonin level," Garu said obediently.

Regarding the strength levels of the ninja system, the ranking system established by Naraku had already spread within the Land of Stars.

"Not bad. I'll set up the 'Immortal Seal' for you tonight, so you'll have the ability to fight against top-tier combatants." Naraku nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Garuro's growth rate.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

Upon hearing that Naraku was going to set up a "divine seal" for him, Garu was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

Garu-ra used to follow Naraku because of Yoru-ra's training, but now she has completely transformed into Naraku's form.

Just like her joy at this moment, Garu-ro's happiness didn't actually stem from the fact that her strength was about to improve, but rather from Naraku's high regard and trust in her.

What is the "Immortal Seal"?

This is the most core heritage of the Star Kingdom.

Currently, only a handful of people, such as Nono, Natsumi, and Ame, are able to enjoy the "Immortal Seal".

And all of these people were deeply trusted by Naraku.

Now that Naraku is going to set up a "divine seal" for Garuda, Garuda sees this as a sign of Naraku's high regard and trust in him.

"You two, don't slack off in your training from now on. When your strength reaches the level of elite Jonin, I will also help you set up the 'Immortal Seal'."

Naraku smiled in response to Garuro's thanks, then suddenly remembered something, turned his office chair, and looked at Hinata Rinka and Hinata Yuika behind him.

Hinata Rinka and Hinata Yuika have been appointed as bodyguards and usually accompany Naraku.

The same applies now.

When Naraku was handling official business, the two sisters would stand on either side of him behind him.

It's unclear whether it's a matter of personal preference or a way to differentiate themselves.

The older sister, Hinata Rinka, wore a traditional black combat uniform, while the younger sister, Hinata Yuika, wore a purple combat uniform.

Naraku suddenly turned around.

Especially when she heard Naraku's words, Hinata Rinka, as the older sister, was taken aback.

Because she is a bodyguard, even though she hasn't been in the position for long, Rinka Hinata already knows what the "Immortal Seal" is.

She never expected that the man opposite her would intentionally pass on the core inheritance of the "Immortal Seal" to her.

"Don't worry, sir. My sister and I will definitely train hard and become elite Jonin as soon as possible." Compared to Hyuga Rinka's awkwardness, Hyuga Yuika, as the younger sister, was much more proactive.

Upon hearing Naraku's words, Hyuga Yuika's eyes lit up, and she quickly bowed to express her gratitude.

Even after getting up, she looked at Naraku with a flirtatious gaze and said with a charming expression, "My lord must be tired from handling official business just now. Let me help you relax."

With that, Hinata Yuika bent down and squatted in front of Naraku, and began to work diligently.

"Promiscuous woman"

Across the desk, seeing Hinata Yuika's actions, Garuro immediately cursed under his breath.

Her gaze toward Hinata Yuika, who was engrossed in her work, was quite unfriendly.

The other party was clearly just a bodyguard, yet he dared to steal my job as his secretary; it was blatant provocation.

If she weren't afraid of disturbing Lady Naraku's enjoyment, she would have liked to step forward and teach this slut from the Hyuga clan a lesson.

"Thank you, sir!"

Seeing her younger sister serving her so proactively, Hinata Rinka came to her senses and immediately placed her hands on her abdomen, bowing respectfully and politely to Naraku.

While patting Hinata Yuika's head, Naraku's gaze fell with interest on Hinata Rinka's face.

These two sisters have such contrasting personalities.

Whether it's because her older sister, Hinata Rinka, was betrothed to Hinata Hiashi since childhood and received the upbringing of the clan leader's wife, or simply because of her personality, she is not only very particular about etiquette in her behavior, but also very reserved in her personality.

In contrast, her younger sister, Hinata Yuika, is completely different. She is proactive in everything she does and has a very outgoing personality.

Well, this contrast makes Naraku able to have an interesting experience every time he interacts with the two sisters.

I fed Hinata Yuika a snack.

With his mind and body relaxed, Naraku resumed his official duties.

In terms of official duties, he usually delegates them to his shadow clones, but occasionally he will take matters into his own hands when he feels like it.

The public display of the heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had a greater effect than Naraku had anticipated.

Besides boosting morale internally, it also leaves outsiders entering and leaving Star City speechless.

The deaths of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio alone made the outsiders clearly realize the power of the Star Country.

This assertiveness not only inspired awe in outsiders but also greatly enhanced the prestige of the Star Kingdom.

This is evidenced by the fact that in the days that followed, as news of the deaths of the three main characters, Ino-Shika-Cho, spread in Star City, more merchants were attracted to the Star Kingdom to develop their businesses.

Businessmen pursue profit.

The more assertive the Star Kingdom becomes, the more benefits the businessmen will derive from it.

As more and more merchants flock to the Star Kingdom, it brings more economic revenue to the Star Kingdom.

Konoha.

In stark contrast to the Land of Stars.
