Kakashi finally left, leaving quickly in TenTen's personal vehicle.
As for Naruto, he returned to the sky, resting his head on his arm, gazing at the stars.
With no clouds and a thin atmosphere, the clear starry sky was breathtakingly beautiful. Only here could his chaotic heart find peace.
Although the two sides were officially at war, he was the one who initiated it. The wailing from the Hidden Cloud Village still echoed in his ears, and even after sitting in the Land of Snow for half a day, the symptoms hadn't alleviated.
It wasn't until night that he thought of the sky. The effect was good. In less than ten minutes, he understood. He constantly reminded himself of his age and categorized this incident as a middle school gang fight.
Although the opponents were tall and strong, who said middle schoolers couldn't grow as big as the Raikage? No one, right?
Once he accepted this premise, his heart truly felt clear. Naruto began to summarize the battle.
This was his first time witnessing the true strength of a top-tier ninja. He had to admit, they were truly strong. Even with his precognition cheat, he was still suppressed by the Raikage. If he hadn't known his weakness, whether he could have defeated him or not would still be unknown.
And Killer B, that unblockable Eight-Bladed Style…
If these were so strong, what about the strongest in the ninja world? How strong would he be?
Naruto gazed at the full moon. He had been a shut-in for a thousand years, so he must be quite irritable after coming out. Should I send you a Gwent deck to relieve your boredom?
With his heart clear, Naruto's otaku brain became active again.
Lying there, he thought of many things.
There was Hidden Cloud, Kaguya, and Kakashi, Konoha…
He could imagine that after Kakashi reported back to Konoha, the Konoha higher-ups must be arguing right now, but he didn't want to get involved.
I just grabbed the essence of the problem, Hidden Cloud. I went straight there and physically solved the problem. Why do I need to talk to you? With my mouth-cannon skills from over ten years of not interacting with people, what if I get angered to death by you?
Even if I don't get angry to death, what if I develop a hidden heart disease? Where would I find a son who can travel through time to send me heart medicine?
Even if a son sends medicine, if I'm in a good mood and my daily routine is messed up, will I still appear five minutes later in bed? If it's not me, then who will send me medicine?
At this moment, Naruto deeply fell into a time paradox…
So, there was a reason why Sage Mode training was slow.
Five minutes later, Naruto slapped his head. Where was I thinking just now?
As he was organizing his thoughts, he suddenly felt a jolt beneath him.
"Eh?... Holy crap!"
The teleportation gate's time limit was up.
Now his train of thought was completely gone. Naruto simply gave up thinking, adjusted to a head-down posture, and enjoyed the sensation of freefall.
The last time his supersonic freefall failed, Naruto felt it was due to too much wind resistance from his protective suit. This time, it was an opportunity to make up for it.
He tore off his protective suit and roared, feeling the cold wind rushing against him: "Woohoo!!"
Why think so much? Just be happy.
Five minutes later, at the main gate of Hidden Cloud Village, a red orb directly slammed into the ground.
Walking out of the crater, Naruto twisted his joints: "Failed again, huh..."
At the edge of the crater, Mabui suppressed her emotions and said through gritted teeth, "What are you doing here again? Are you showing off?"
Around her, medical ninjas in white uniforms faced the gate, and Cloud Ninjas in Cloud Village uniforms faced the direction outside the gate. There were also some excavation tools nearby.
"I don't have that hobby."
Naruto wasn't showing off. He had only reached that height once. To change places, he'd have to climb for several more days, which was too troublesome.
Stepping into the formed teleportation gate, Naruto said, "Tell the Raikage, I'll come find him again when he's well. I'm leaving."
This was showing off.
The Raikage, top-tier in strength, would explode at a touch, unleashing his full power. Where could he find such a good sparring partner? Once he recovered, Naruto himself would have almost learned Sage Mode.
Kidnapping my wife and beating her once isn't enough. I have to come back every few days to beat her up.
The next day, Naruto finally ascended to the top of the ninja world's headlines through his own strength.
Everyone had originally prepared for the Fourth Great Ninja War, but the falling mountains in the sky made them choose to observe. However, later, when all the mountains were destroyed, they marveled at Hidden Cloud's strength, but their hanging hearts also became tense again.
However, the news they received today made them wonder if the intelligence officers were drunk at a brothel and wrote nonsense.
Hidden Cloud indeed dispatched troops, but they were blocked at the village gate by a young man who fought them all the way from the village head to the village end.
The Raikage was severely injured.
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was severely injured.
And, nearly two thousand people had their kidneys stabbed.
The scene was clean and orderly.
This news alone was enough to make the leaders of various villages send their intelligence officers to the interrogation room to ask if they had damaged their kidneys from too much fun.
However, more and more news made them have to believe it, and there were even photos as evidence.
It was truly bloodless, because the only pool of blood was from Naruto's stabbed hand, which was then smashed by Naruto's second bungee jump.
Afterwards, Hidden Sand Village was shocked…
Hidden Stone Village was shocked…
Mist, Rain, Snow… were successively shocked.
Are we crazy, or is the world crazy? A fifteen-year-old boy almost completely annihilated a great village unharmed?
Everyone was shocked, and Naruto was gripping a fish in his hand, gripping it very tightly, as if he had a deep hatred.
This was for teasing the Two-Tails later.
Although the Two-Tails was known as the Blazing Cat Demon, and its appearance was that of a majestic blue cat, as an experienced cat owner, Naruto felt it wasn't a cat, because it didn't conform to any of the cat's laws.
As is well known, cats are liquid, but the Two-Tails' entire body was blue flames, which could be said to be plasma.
The "cat's claws on top" rule: when giving chakra to the Crown Prince, its claws were below.
And it didn't have a cat's balance. When the Nine-Tails threw it out, it actually landed on its back. This was simply a disgrace to the cat world.
However, saying this doesn't count. Whether it's a cat or not still needs petting and teasing to be confirmed.
Somewhere in the Land of Snow, Naruto roasted a fish over a fire. Across from him was Yugito, tied up like a dumpling. Beside them was a "Paradise Refrigerator" that was frozen to minus thirty degrees Celsius.
A loud noise echoed across the snowy plains, making the snow tremble.
Naruto was originally supposed to meet in that valley, but because of this noise, that valley was engulfed in an avalanche.
Naruto flipped the fish over: "I'll remove the seal in a bit. You release it so I can beat it up. Then we'll be even."
"Bah."
"Brat, I told you the box wasn't stolen by me, it was her." The Two-Tails' magnetic voice entered the sealing space.
"Can she move it?"
"You should know that sometimes a Jinchuriki can forcibly control a Tailed Beast's power. You should understand this." The Tailed Beast's mind was simple, but not foolish. It hadn't seen the whole process yesterday because it was unconscious, but it saw the chains soaring into the sky, binding Gyuki. This brat was here today, so Gyuki must have been defeated. Plus, his casual attitude towards using Kurama's chakra—would Kurama give chakra to a human? It estimated its situation was no better than Gyuki's. The two strongest were down. Why should I go out?
"You agree, don't you, Kurama."
Kurama stared intently at the script: "I have no time to bother with you. Burp."
See? So choked by the chains he can't even speak properly.
"So I let her go, and you still won't come out?"
"Yes."
"Non-violence and non-cooperation, huh? So should I stab her to death?"
"At worst, I'll find a place to reincarnate."
"I have fish."
"Uh... Brat, do you have some misunderstanding about Tailed Beasts? Do you think Kurama is a real fox?"
You're right. I looked left and right, and it's not a fox.
The Two-Tails wouldn't come out, but Naruto wasn't without options. He pointed at the Box of Paradise: "You know what that is, right?"
"I know."
Waving his hand to open a teleportation gate, Naruto chuckled: "Then do you want to know what it looks like inside?"
Since you stole the box and don't want to get beaten, don't blame me for locking you in it. When you're in there, dominated by fear and half-dead, I'll see if you come out.
Even if you die in there, and reincarnate randomly in the world, I'll find you like a game of hide-and-seek and beat you up again.
He threw Yugito and the Two-Tails into the box and sealed it. After bustling for a while, night fell, and Naruto returned to his favorite high altitude.
Lying on the teleportation gate, Naruto looked at the night sky and sighed: "The sea of stars is beautiful."
By the way, shouldn't I go pick up Jiraiya?
