"Hmm..."

The sunlight was so bright that even with eyes closed, Bai knew clearly that he had not died.

Did Lord Zabuza succeed?

"Are you awake? Bai."

It seems that he failed.

Before Bai opened his eyes, Naruto already felt that he had woken up.

"You didn't kill me? Lord Zabuza..."

Bai opened his eyes and looked at the sky. Although he had guessed it, he couldn't help but want to confirm it again.

"My shadow clone has not been removed, which means that the bandage uncle should be dead."

Naruto smiled and sat down next to Bai.

"Congratulations, you have a new life."

"You promised me that you would live for yourself this time!"

"But... I don't know what to do in the future."

Bai was surprisingly calm when he heard the news of Zabuza's death. Perhaps he was used to life and death.

"You've become someone who is not needed again."

"No, you're wrong. If it's the kind of 'needed' you're talking about, I'd rather you never be needed."

As Naruto spoke, he also lay down and looked at the sky through the shade of the tree.

"Death is not liberation, but escape."

"Although it's a bit cruel, I hope that gentle people like Bai can get real liberation, instead of going to the Pure Land with the idea of ​​escape."

"But... I..."

Bai turned his head and looked at Naruto, who was sitting cross-legged and sloppy. He was just a child, but he could say such words. He must have experienced more painful difficulties than me, right?

"If you don't know why you live, just look at this dazzling clear sky... It makes people feel comfortable."

Naruto raised his hand and slowly held the few rays of sunlight sprinkled in the shade of the tree.

"Live for the things that make you happy! Dreams, scenery, food, or maybe beautiful women."

"Dreams?"

Bai's thoughts went back to his childhood. His dream was just to live happily with his family. It was that simple.

But...

"Naruto."

"Hmm?"

"Can I have the same dream as you?"

Bai suddenly sat up and looked at Naruto steadily.

"Hmm!"

Naruto smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand, and Bai also held Naruto's hand tightly.

"Please rely on me. You are no longer needed like a tool, because I will also need to rely on you. From now on, we are partners, and I will definitely take you to see the world I describe!"

"Let me introduce myself solemnly. I am Uzumaki Naruto. Keeping my word is my ninja way!"

"Rely on each other?"

Bai looked at the determination in Naruto's eyes and couldn't help but lose his mind slightly.

No longer a tool that can be discarded at will, but relying on each other like relatives.

His eloquence is as powerful as his physical skills.

"You are just a child, and your words are not convincing at all."

Bai looked at Naruto in the light and suddenly covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Hey, hey, hey! I am very serious!"

Naruto was immediately defeated and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Age and so on, it's not at all..."

"Hehe..."

...

"Bai, I actually saved you for selfish reasons."

Naruto scratched his head a little embarrassedly and looked at the gentle boy in front of him. He felt a little guilty.

"So, are you going to rely on me so soon?"

Bai didn't feel deceived because of any selfish things.

"Aren't we companions?"

"Hehe, in fact, you should know that if we want to fulfill our dreams, it is useless to rely on the two of us or shout some unrealistic slogans."

Naruto took a deep breath, but still let go of his former innocence.

"I want you to seize all of Kado's property and business, and then use the money to train some talented children who recognize our dreams and build our own power."

"This process may take a long time, and there should be more like-minded partners joining in the middle.

Until I become the Hokage, then we will work together to completely control Konoha and even the Land of Fire. Only in this way can we have a chance to see that world before my life ends."

"Okay."

Bai nodded calmly. He could take over the power left by Zabuza directly. As for Kado's business, it would not be difficult for him to take over after so many years in the ninja world.

For Naruto, he did not just know how to shout slogans naively, but had a roughly feasible plan. He was actually stillI am very relieved.

Although it seems a bit taken for granted, there is indeed a possibility of success.

"What else?"

Bai tilted his head and continued to ask.

"If it's just like this, it seems to be no different from Lord Zabuza."

"In addition to training ninjas, it is more important to train talents with top technology."

Naruto scratched his cheek. He didn't expect that the bandage uncle was quite thoughtful.

"We need to train enough engineers, scientists, architects, forging masters, etc."

"These talents are the most important people. With them, we can cultivate huge amounts of food, medicines that anyone can afford, comfortable houses, spacious roads, and convenient life."

"So, I need to plant spies to steal these people's technology, right?"

Bai nodded clearly.

"Well, you are not wrong to think so~"

Naruto thought about it carefully. Instead of inviting these people with deep-rooted ideas, it is better to let his own people learn technology and then benefit the world.

It's a pity that the otaku who took over his body is only a boaster. If he can understand the various technologies of that world, he can just throw out the knowledge in his mind and teach it to talented people. That would be so convenient!

"Anything else you want me to do?"

Seeing that Naruto was distracted for a long time, Bai couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Your shadow clone shouldn't last long, right? So quickly tell me what I need to do."

"It's not an order!"

Naruto waved his hand quickly.

"There are already enough things to bother you. As for the rest, just work hard to become stronger. If you are not strong enough in this world, all dreams are meaningless."

"I know."

Bai nodded. He understood the importance of strength very well.

The things Naruto arranged for him to do were all very long-term things, and they would not take up too much of his time.

"Well, that's it. I should go back to my original body."

"Well, take care." Bai nodded calmly.

"No matter where you are, remember that you are definitely not alone."

After Naruto finished the last sentence, he turned into smoke and dissipated with a bang.

"You are no longer alone."

Bai smiled at the smoke in front of him and also stood up and left.

Speaking of which, he has been annoyed with that Kado for a long time!
