I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

Naruto, disguised as Doctor Menma, is strolling around the village, enjoying the tranquility amidst his busy schedule.

Looking at the roads and docks under construction in the distance, a sense of accomplishment rose in his heart. Perhaps he hated destruction and decay in his bones and liked new things that exuded vitality.

Furthermore, the Nine-Tails doesn't dislike this place and is currently fast asleep in the sealed space.

After pausing for a while, Naruto walked toward the Uzushio Village office. Before he could even open the door, he heard Himon and Shisui arguing.

One side represents the local forces, and the other side represents the Uchiha from outside. They are arguing endlessly about how the village should develop.

Himon believed that priority should be given to developing ports for foreign trade, while Shisui believed that ninja schools and mission centers should be built, developing in the style of ninja villages.

Upon seeing Naruto, the two stopped arguing; Naruto was now the backbone of Uzushio Village.

Whether in terms of construction guidance or hard power, they are no match for this elder of the Vortex clan. The reason they dare to develop is because of the unfathomable power of the other party.

Chapter 89 The Book of Seals

In the eyes of the Fire Gate, Shisui was a renowned elite Jonin with a prestigious reputation in the ninja world.

Naruto, who landed in Uzushio Village with Shisui, was a reclusive senior Uzumaki whose strength was no less than that of an elite Jonin. It was because of them that Uzushio Village had any hope of development and growth.

In Shisui's eyes, Naruto possessed at least the strength of a Five Kage, though the exact upper limit of his power was unknown.

Only with Naruto present could the Uchiha clan be settled in Uzushio Village. Otherwise, their peaceful life would be disrupted sooner or later by various ambitious individuals, forcing them into exile in the ninja world and completely erasing the name of the Uchiha clan.

Himon is a ninja from the Uzumaki clan and is related to Naruto by blood, so he is naturally closer to him than the Uchiha clan.

Only by gaining Naruto's support can they realize their ideas.

So after Naruto appeared, Shisui and Himon said in unison, "Menma-sama (senpai), is there any new instruction? We were discussing whether to build the dock first or establish the ninja academy first..."

Naruto looked at the strange pair of Himon and Shisui, frowned, and fell into thought.

Although they all considered the development of Wochao Village, they offered different directions and development paths.

However, in Naruto's opinion, neither of these two options is the best choice given the current situation.

While ninjas can use ninjutsu to shorten the time required to build docks and schools, both economic development and educational advancement require a stable environment and substantial time and financial support.

At present, Uzushio Village is just a small settlement that doesn't even qualify as a village. The population is just over a thousand, most of whom are ordinary people, and there are only a few dozen ninjas.

Under such circumstances, vigorous development will only backfire due to overly ambitious pace.

Uzushio Village currently has only two things to do: first, to eliminate the wandering ninjas on the island and provide a relatively stable environment; and second, to recruit people and increase the population to several thousand or even tens of thousands in order to better develop.

After a moment's thought, Naruto offered his suggestion.

Upon hearing this, both Himon and Shisui fell into deep thought.

Naruto thought further ahead than they did, and many of his suggestions were things they had never considered. One wanted to recreate the Land of Whirlpools model, and the other wanted to replicate the Hidden Leaf Village system, but they both forgot the fundamental problems facing the Whirlpool Village.

In the following period, Himon and Shisui began to consult Naruto again, as they both lacked experience in managing the village.

Faced with their probing questions, Naruto felt somewhat helpless. The ninja world and his previous life were two completely different worlds, and many experiences could not be directly applied.

However, he still offered many reform suggestions that he had seen in books in his previous life.

After all, compared to the backward feudal system of the ninja world, capitalism seems so advanced.

Upon hearing the development suggestions, Himon and Shisui were amazed. After exchanging a glance, they pulled Naruto aside for a discussion about the future development of Uzushio Village.

Several hours later, the two finally let Naruto go, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future.

At that moment, Shisui seemed to remember something and belatedly asked, "By the way, Lord Menma, you haven't said what you came for..."

Naruto was a little embarrassed; he had gotten so caught up in the conversation that he almost forgot about the important matter at hand.

After coughing, Naruto took out the Scroll of Seals and placed it on his desk.

Shisui felt that the Scroll of Seals looked familiar. He had seen it before when reporting a mission to the Third Hokage. It seemed to be the style of a scroll used by Konoha to record secrets. Before Menma left Konoha, he even went to the Hokage Building.

With that thought in mind, Zhishui consciously left the office.

That scroll likely contains secrets of the Uzumaki clan, and it's not suitable for an outsider like him to observe.

Naruto didn't stop Shisui from leaving. After pondering for a moment, he said to Hinata, "Hinata, can you set up a small barrier to block signals?"

Uzumaki Himon nodded. For a Uzumaki ninja, setting up a barrier technique was a piece of cake.

He quickly set up a signal-blocking barrier in his office, while also looking at the Book of Seals with some curiosity, wondering what secrets it held that made Naruto take it so seriously.

Naruto didn't keep them in suspense: "This is the Konoha Sealing Scroll. Can you break the sealing techniques on it?"

The Book of Seals of Konoha… Uzumaki Himon twitched his lips. This sounded like something extraordinary.

However, he still took the Book of Seals, glanced at it briefly, and said, "Senior Menma, the sealing techniques on it are quite complex and may take several tens of minutes to break."

"It only takes a few tens of minutes... It's a little faster than I expected."

Naruto was speechless. He had spent over a hundred hours studying the Book of Seals, but Uzumaki Himon told him that it would only take a few tens of minutes to break it.

Are all the other Uzumaki ninjas so proficient in sealing techniques?

Uzumaki Himon ignored Naruto's comments. This senior member of the Uzumaki clan was proficient in taijutsu and ninjutsu, and his vitality was frighteningly strong, but he was like a novice when it came to sealing techniques. He was already used to it.

Several tens of minutes later, Uzumaki Himon broke the seal on the Book of Seals and returned it to Naruto.

He dared not open the sealed book, fearing he might see some secrets he shouldn't have.

Naruto opened the Scroll of Seals and found the Mutual Explosion Tags and the Scroll of Impure World Reincarnation. After copying the images and text with his Sharingan, he nodded in satisfaction.

The Book of Seals records ninjutsu techniques capable of altering the course of a battle.

In particular, the Impure World Reincarnation technique is considered a bug in the ninja world, capable of reviving the dead and granting them the buffs of immortality and 'infinite' chakra, giving Kabuto Yakushi and Obito the means to launch a ninja world war.

This was arguably his biggest gain after arriving at Wochao Village.

Inside the sealed space, Minato Namikaze's expression was solemn. He had witnessed the scene of the Book of Seals being broken, which meant that Naruto had obtained the forbidden technique recorded on it.

Forbidden techniques like Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu are alright, but many more ninjutsu involve human relationships and order.

If used excessively, it will inevitably bring disaster to the user.

Not only that, Naruto's previous discussion with Himon and Shisui also made him realize the signs of danger.

Statements such as allowing ordinary people to receive chakra training and that the jurisdiction of ninjas should not be limited to ninja villages are all remarks that could overturn the order of the ninja world.

Naruto said that this was an experiment on the Uchiha clan.

But the word "experiment" is enough to show Naruto's ambition. Naruto wants to change not only the Uchiha clan, but the entire ninja world.

However, if Naruto's words could actually come true...

With a soft sigh, Minato Namikaze dared not imagine any further. He was almost certain that the future of the ninja world would descend into chaos because of Naruto, but he didn't know what would follow that chaos.

At the same time, he didn't want Naruto to become the center of chaos.

Naruto noticed Minato's emotional fluctuations and frowned, refusing to exchange a word with him.

Whether Minato objects or not, he will do what he wants to do. As for Minato's thoughts, he doesn't care. He doesn't need Minato's approval.

As for where the ninja world will go, that depends on how the others in the ninja world respond.

After all, the existing national village system is not enough to fight against enemies from outer space. Those Otsutsuki are enemies even stronger than Nagato and Madara, and all of humanity needs to face them together.

However, the Kage and ninja villages in the ninja world only have their sights set on the ground.

……

After several weeks of practice, Naruto mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The principle behind the Impure World Reincarnation technique is not complicated; it is more like an advanced version of spirit summoning. It uses the cellular tissue of the deceased to summon the soul from the Pure Land, forcibly establishes a contract, and controls it using a cursed seal.

In addition to learning the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Naruto also utilized his ability to sense malice.

Many White Zetsu were captured within the Land of Whirlpools. These White Zetsu were clearly sent by Obito to monitor the remnants of the Uchiha clan, but now they have become the best material for him to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Whether Obito would come looking for trouble because of this was not within his consideration.

He went so far as to replace his original eyes with Kotoamatsukami, not only because he was worried about being controlled by Danzo, but also to guard against Obito's attacks. Obito was his greatest enemy, whom he had been protecting since birth with explosive tags.

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Naruto began to consider how to utilize the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

If possible, he would naturally use the reanimated form of powerful ninjas such as the First and Second Hokage, but he lacks the most crucial cellular tissue, making it impossible for him to summon them.

As for the other powerful ninjas who died and were resurrected using Edo Tensei, they faced the same problem.

At that moment, Naruto glanced at Minato Namikaze in the sealed space, wanting to ask Minato if he had preserved any cellular tissue so that he could use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Minato Namikaze felt a little uneasy being stared at, so he leaned closer and said, "Naruto, give up researching the Impure World Reincarnation technique. It's a desecration of the dead and a subversion of common sense."

Naruto said dismissively, "Fourth Hokage, if you and the Third Hokage had used the Impure World Reincarnation technique on the day of the Nine-Tails' attack to summon the First and Second Hokage, wouldn't that have prevented the tragedy from happening?"

"I think that way, Mom wouldn't die, and you could still sit in the Hokage position."

"Does the desecration of the dead matter more than the living? At least I think the First and Second Hokage wouldn't blame you successors."

Faced with Naruto's questioning, Minato Namikaze had to admit that what Naruto said was true, but he still felt that something was not right.

If the Impure World Reincarnation technique had been used, the village could have indeed reduced its losses considerably. However, using the Impure World technique requires living people as sacrifices, which goes against the Will of Fire.

After a pause, Naruto continued, "Don't worry, Fourth Hokage, I won't use the Impure World Reincarnation technique casually, nor will I randomly find someone to be a sacrifice for it. I've already found a suitable sacrifice."

Chapter 90 The Correct Use of Impure World Reincarnation

Have they found a suitable offering?

Minato Namikaze frowned, then thought of the White Zetsu that Naruto had been hunting these past few days. White Zetsu looked very similar to humans, but they didn't have internal organs or anything like that. Could they be used as sacrifices for the Impure World Reincarnation?

But if that's the case, where do these White Zetsu, which are so similar to humans, come from?

Could it be related to the masked man who invaded Konoha and released the Nine-Tails?

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze felt that a huge conspiracy was lurking deep within the ninja world, but he was already dead and could neither investigate it himself nor stop the conspiracy from continuing.

However, Naruto seems to have known about the existence of White Zetsu all along; perhaps he obtained the information from Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

……

Inside the Wochao Village office.

Naruto found Uzumaki Himon and suggested visiting the Uzumaki Shrine.

Uzumaki Himon gave Naruto a deep look, then sighed softly and began to lead the way for Naruto.
