Next, Black Zetsu indeed fulfilled his promise and took Naruto to receive the assets.
He didn't directly give Naruto cash, because he himself didn't have a lot of cash. Collecting intelligence and supplying the Akatsuki also cost a lot.
In the end, Black Zetsu took Naruto to a desolate mountain in the River Country.
Beneath this land, there was a small iron mine with reserves that were still relatively abundant, but relatively easy to mine.
In addition, Black Zetsu also told Naruto the location of an underground river, where there was nothing else, but Chakra Metal Mines would be produced.
The value of these two mines combined, without counting mining costs, would be at least thirty billion taels, and the cash Naruto had in hand after all this effort was not much more than that number.
And this was only a very small part of Black Zetsu's accumulated assets.
For Black Zetsu, who could easily sneak into the depths of the earth, finding these was an easy task.
And Naruto, after getting the coordinates of these two mines, looked at Black Zetsu with a particularly kind and gentle gaze.
Such a large sum of assets was taken out so easily, what did this represent?
This meant that the amount taken out was only a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount of assets Black Zetsu actually possessed.
If it wasn't inappropriate, Naruto would have liked to put his arm around Black Zetsu's shoulder and say kindly, "You should have said you had so much money earlier. Don't even mention helping you rescue your mother, as long as your mother isn't so irritable, even helping you beat up the Otsutsuki is completely negotiable."
But in the end, Naruto still maintained his final restraint and just patted Black Zetsu on the shoulder appreciatively.
But this also made Black Zetsu feel that this money was well spent. Just like he had guessed before, Naruto was not a person who couldn't be negotiated with for cooperation.
"It seems that I have to work hard to earn more money next." On the way back, Black Zetsu thought thoughtfully.
In the next few days, in addition to his daily training, the thing Naruto did the most was chat with Black Zetsu.
Although Black Zetsu was unwilling to say a lot of key information, Naruto felt that he had benefited a lot just from the part that Black Zetsu was willing to say.
After all, he was an elder who had experienced a thousand years of time. Although he was inferior to himself in many aspects due to his own strength and environmental limitations, he also had a unique life experience and wisdom in dealing with the world.
In addition to this, it also made Naruto more certain of one thing, that was as long as he could help Black Zetsu rescue his mother, then he could do anything.
This made Naruto secretly start planning in his heart, how exactly could he more reasonably exploit the value of Black Zetsu.
And on Black Zetsu's side, Naruto gave him a very complex impression: intelligent, confident, and strong.
He himself was a more practical person, and he also emphasized the principle of equivalent exchange. Although he had the common lack of experience of young people in many details, he was a person with extremely strong execution ability.
Such a Naruto was completely different from the naivety, simplicity, and idealism of the previous generations of Asura reincarnations.
But precisely because of this, through talking with Naruto, Black Zetsu gradually confirmed one thing.
That was his previous guess, as long as he could pay a sufficient price, asking him to help rescue his mother was completely achievable.
And in today's Ninja World, only Naruto possessed such ability.
As for how to deal with this guy after rescuing his mother, that would be left to his mother to decide.
Because of this, the relationship between Black Zetsu and Naruto unexpectedly began to gradually become more and more harmonious in these few days, with a sense of meeting each other late.
As a confidant, Black Zetsu generously told Naruto the coordinates of a gold mine.
In response, Naruto was very moved and solemnly promised Black Zetsu that he would definitely help Black Zetsu try the first moon-splitting rescue operation within twenty years.
"If Isshiki or a powerhouse from the Otsutsuki Main Family comes, am I stupid to not call for reinforcements and outside help?" And this was the most honest thought in Naruto's heart.
...
Itachi officially began the seventh day of restoring the Uchiha clan.
Early morning.
Early in the morning, outside the Rain Ninja Village, a secluded place became lively.
With the arrival of Naruto's main body, his Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder Technique's portals also opened one after another in various parts of the Ninja World.
Hidden Mist Village, in the Mizukage's house.
Terumi Mei, who had just finished dressing up, wearing a red and white Miko Outfit, and holding a Fox mask in her hand, was not in a hurry to go out to deal with the day's official business as usual.
She sat in front of the dressing table, propping her chin with one hand, looking at her fair and smooth skin in the mirror, as if she had returned to her sixteen-year-old self, and couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated.
She muttered, "The 1.5 billion was really worth it, but this time helping with the mission can deduct 50 million taels, only responsible for guarding the formation, and can retreat at any time if the battle is unfavorable, which is quite a bargain."
Seeing the Three-Pronged Kunai in her hand light up with a question mark, Terumi Mei knew that it was almost time for her to leave.
In Orochimaru's base, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru stood side by side.
Jiraiya, whose progress in cultivating immortality on Mount Myōboku was not great, finally chose to come to Orochimaru to cooperate with him in researching the Cursed Seal, intending to find an opportunity for the Great Accomplishment of Sage Techniques.
Of course, more importantly, Tsunade was here.
This was also the reason why Naruto directly asked Sakura to notify the three of them last time.
At this moment, the three of them were not wearing their usual attire, but a very uniform black windbreaker with a raccoon mask, carefully hiding their identities and giving themselves code names according to Naruto's request.
As the Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder Technique's portal opened in front of them, they did not hesitate and stepped directly into it.
However, Sakura did not choose to join in the fun, and continued to practice with her senior sister Shizune, holding books.
Although Naruto did not object to her participating in this battle, she had self-knowledge.
And Sasuke, who had been supervising Itachi's expansion of the Uchiha clan in the Heavens and Earth-Glittering Gold branch these past few days, only remembered the business at hand when the Flying Thunder God Seal on his body was lit up.
He quickly took out a black cloak and a smiley face mask from his ninja bag and put them on. Just as he was about to step into the portal, he was grabbed by the arm by the suddenly appearing Itachi, and he was taken into the portal together before he could prepare.
After the teleportation ended, Sasuke didn't care where he was, and looked coldly at Itachi, who was pale, "Go back, what are you doing here? Do you think you are still that powerful Itachi? You don't even have Sharingan now."
"Just let me participate in the battle too. Although I can't exert my peak strength, I can still clean up the small fries."
Itachi said, with pleading in his eyes.
