Naruto touched his chin, his thoughts drifting toward Orochimaru.
At this moment, he was a little glad that he hadn't killed Orochimaru. How could he do eternal life research without Orochimaru?
Cloning, Hashirama cells, Edo Tensei (improved version) were all Orochimaru's work!
If he had Orochimaru's help with the research, he might really be able to complete the unfinished research on the Gelel Stone!
But Orochimaru does stuff with living things. Isn't the Gelel Stone about physics?
Or maybe chemistry?
Naruto was a terrible student. He really couldn't understand it, so he decided not to think about it.
He plans to visit Orochimaru sometime and talk to him about working together!
Of course, Naruto is more inclined to use the power of the gods to control Orochimaru to help him with his research.
Otherwise, even if Orochimaru figures out eternal life, he probably wouldn't let him get it easily!
When working with a snake, even if you are a tiger, you must be careful not to be bitten!
After all, snakes are poisonous!
"Lord Naruto, Lady Koyuki and Lord Hakuzaki are requesting an audience!" A servant of the Daimyo's residence suddenly announced from outside the door.
"Let them in."
After Naruto spoke, he used his sensing ability to perceive Koyuki's location and the situation around her.
Having lost Sasuke as a fighter, he now also lacks trusted subordinates with a certain amount of strength, so much so that he now misses Sasuke a little.
Speaking of which, Sakura should be coming back soon, right?
Just as he was thinking, Koyuki and Hakuzaki walked in.
"Lord Naruto!" *2
"What's the matter?" Naruto leaned back in his chair and looked at the two of them calmly as he asked.
"It's about the geothermal generator!" Koyuki said, nudging Hakuzaki.
Understanding, Hakuzaki said, "Lord Naruto, we have repaired the geothermal generator, but there is a small problem."
"Completed? So fast?"
Naruto was a little confused. "Didn't you say before that you didn't know when it could be fixed?"
"That's right, Lord!"
Hakuzaki organized his words in his mind and said, "That was indeed the case, because we had to study it without damaging the geothermal generator, so progress was slow. But didn't you give us a captured warship a few days ago? We found a way inside that can perfectly solve the problem of the geothermal generator not being able to operate for a long time!"
"You found a way in just a few days?"
"I wouldn't have believed it before, but after this visit... Lord, I can only say that the artistic value of that warship is really high. The scientific technology it contains is enough for me to study for a lifetime!"
Naruto supported his head and looked at his bald head, asking, "So what is the method you found?"
"Lord, please take a look, it's this!"
Hakuzaki carefully took out a cloth package from his arms, and when the cloth package was opened, it was a stone emitting a blue light.
"The Gelel Stone?"
"Lord, you also know about this?"
"I know a little." Naruto nodded and said, "Can this thing solve the problem of the geothermal generator?"
"Yes!"
Hakuzaki guaranteed earnestly, "In fact, the problem with geothermal generators has always been energy. The reason why the previous geothermal generator was imperfect was precisely because we didn't have enough energy to operate it, which forced us to make various changes to the geothermal generator! But no matter what kind of changes, it's unlikely that such a large machine can continue to operate!"
"Then what about my thirty million?" Naruto frowned.
"According to our judgment, if all thirty million are invested in the operation of the geothermal generator, it can at most allow the geothermal generator to operate for three more months!" Hakuzaki cautiously glanced at Naruto.
"Ten million a month? What about the promise you gave me before that you could fix the machine? Are you lying to me?" Naruto's voice contained anger.
"No... I wouldn't dare!"
Hakuzaki buried his head on the floor and hurriedly explained, "At that time, we didn't expect the machine's problem to be so difficult to solve. We even prepared to pay for our own research into new energy sources to help it operate!"
Pay out of his own pocket?
Naruto stared at the bald head in front of him, muttering in his heart: Could he be richer than me?
Although he doesn't know how much it costs to research new energy sources, it already costs thirty million to operate a broken machine. Wouldn't researching new energy sources, something that creates more energy, cost even more money?
"Should I find a reason to rob his house?"
"..."
Hakuzaki and Koyuki peeked at Naruto, their bodies trembling unconsciously.
Boss, we are still here!
Can you avoid the employees when you do this kind of thing where you take advantage of the workers?
And we already feel bad for working here with low pay, now we have to pay to work?
Don't you think it's too much?
The two looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
In order to be able to work here and save their lives, they will have to find a part-time job elsewhere in the future.
I wonder if the real estate business in the Land of Snow is worth doing.
Other places are hard to say, but the houses in Shirokawa are definitely valuable!
"By the way, boss... Lord! I also found a secret!" Hakuzaki suddenly said.
"What secret?" Naruto asked.
"There was originally a Gelel Stone inside the geothermal generator!"
"There was one to begin with?"
"Yes! This Gelel Stone should be the design basis of this geothermal generator. According to our previous research, in addition to containing huge energy, the Gelel Stone also has the power to change the weather!"
"What do you mean by 'previous'?" Naruto asked in confusion, "Did you have Gelel Stones before?"
"Lord, you don't know this, but the Chakra Armor that we helped Kazahana Doto create contained the power of the Gelel Stone!"
Hakuzaki explained, "We loaded the Gelel Stone onto the Armor Tenzo, using the Armor to extract its power to enhance the ninjutsu power of the ninja! But we only had five Gelel Stones, and all five of these Gelel Stones were used to create the Chakra Armor. Now that Kazahana Doto and the others are dead, the Gelel Stones on their bodies have also disappeared!"
Naruto "..."
If he had known this would happen, he should have been kinder to Kazahana Doto and the others, at least leaving them complete corpses!
Now that they died without complete corpses, the Gelel Stones on their bodies were naturally completely destroyed by him!
"No... that's not right, including Kazahana Doto, there were only four people who possessed the Chakra Armor Tenzo. Four people, four sets of Armor Tenzo, four Gelel Stones, there should be one left, right?"
"There is still one in Kazahana Doto's Armor."
Hakuzaki explained, "We upgraded the Chakra Armor, allowing it to contain the power of two Gelel Stones, and also allowing it to extract the power of two Gelel Stones at the same time, but its power over ninjutsu is not simply doubled, but increases geometrically!"
