Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 419 Born with great evil!
Lu Ke lifted up the two leg pendants and looked up and down at the two pairs of starry eyes.

For an adult, two years may just mean a physical deterioration, more fatigue, and a slight aging, but for a growing child it can be a world of difference.

The stupid brother has grown taller and stronger than he was two years ago. In addition to the same changes, Naruto's beard has grown a little longer, making him look more like a vixen.

"Looks like you've grown up well, you two."

Luke smiled and placed his hands on the two children's heads, ruffling their hair.

"Of course, I've been helping at home."

The greetings from his brother made Qianchuan Guang puff out his chest proudly, as if to show that he had become a little man.

"Me... me too! I've been working hard to become stronger!"

Naruto's reaction was even greater, his eyes turned slightly red with excitement and he almost had tears in his eyes, probably because he rarely heard such care from an elder.

Kakashi stood beside him for a while and reminded in a deep voice:

"I'm sorry to interrupt such a tender moment, but Lady Tsunade is still waiting to meet you in the Hokage's office. Come back and reminisce about the past."

Before returning to Konoha, he had already sorted out the details of the mission and asked the ninja dog Parker to bring it back in advance. Now he needed to go to the Hokage Building immediately to report.

"understood."

Lu Ke glanced at the house which was much better than it was two years ago, and rubbed his stupid brother's head again.

"You don't have to open the store today. Let's celebrate when I come back."

"Ok!"

Qianchuan Guang nodded vigorously and watched Lu Ke leave reluctantly.

After the two walked away, Naruto, who was also saluting, withdrew his gaze, patted his cheeks, and cheered himself up with extra energy.

"Yoshi! I've decided. This year I must pass the graduation exam and become a ninja!"

"The last one should stop boasting. I will be the only one who passed the graduation examination."

Sasuke, who maintained his dignity as a child of a wealthy family, snorted coldly and made sarcastic remarks as he usually did during quarrels.

Contrary to his expectations, this time Uzumaki Naruto did not retort. He simply ignored Sasuke and waved goodbye to Senkawa Hikaru before running away.

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, looking at Naruto's receding back, an inexplicable dissatisfaction surged from the bottom of his heart, the feeling of being ignored made him particularly annoyed.

"What? This last-place guy, he's only taking the graduation exam because he learned from me..."

"Regarding this, although I do not want to lose to you, Naruto has always wanted to become a ninja as soon as possible. After all, he thinks that becoming a ninja will make him popular among the villagers."

Senkawa Hikaru glanced at Sasuke who seemed angry and explained.

Although he felt that the more important reason was that his brother's return to the village inspired Naruto's fighting spirit.

After all, this little friend has been particularly admiring and respecting his older brother since his brother attended his entrance ceremony on behalf of his parents.

Alas, the yellow-haired vixen really has to be guarded against!
"Wanting to be popular... such a superficial reason?"

Sasuke's voice was confused, his face scrunched up.

As he had been harassed by a group of crazy little girls at an early age, he could not understand the reason of "wanting to be popular".

"Well, the young master of the Uchiha clan would never have such an experience."

Qianchuan Guang rolled his eyes and counted on his fingers: "After all, you come from a wealthy family, are very cute, have good grades, and are always surrounded by people in school. You are completely different from Naruto."

"...Naruto is a man in the village who can make the owner of a stall raise the price on the spot just by standing in front of the stall. He is the 'Nine-Tailed Demon Fox' that everyone hates."

"Humph, how can that guy who was the last in the ninja school be related to the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that almost destroyed Konoha? It's just some rumors spread by word of mouth."

Sasuke turned his head away, seeming to be quite disdainful of such rumors.

"Who knows? Maybe it's because he lost his family, friends and property in the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion. Maybe he wants to find an outlet for his emotions. Maybe he just wants a legitimate reason to bully the villagers. Don't think the villagers are too smart."

Qianchuan Guang yawned lazily, "It's not like every villager has received a good education and has the ability to judge for themselves and not blindly follow the mainstream."

"Not knowing the difference between the primary and the secondary, short-sighted and self-righteous, this is the masses, this is the villagers, hateful and pitiful, innocent and guilty..."

Sasuke found it difficult to digest such complicated words and was speechless for a long time.

"I would like to add that the above words are all from my brother's quotes. They are too profound and I don't really understand them."

Qianchuan Guang raised his head proudly, looking very proud of it.

Sasuke: ...

Oops, it seems he has found someone of his kind.

…………

Hokage Building.

Luke followed Kakashi all the way and expressed his approval of Konoha's civil engineers. The building that was blown up two years ago has basically remained unchanged after the reconstruction, which is really impressive.

Arriving in front of the office, Kakashi stopped and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in."

A capable female voice sounded.

Luke and Kakashi walked into the office and saw Tsunade sitting in a chair in the simple office, quickly correcting documents. Bah! It was Tsunade.

Fuck, can you still walk with these things?
Although he had seen it many times in anime, books, and 3D areas, Lu Ke couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart when he suddenly saw the real person.

He originally thought that Mei Terumi had already developed to be very domineering, but now he knows what it means to be a dwarf compared to a giant. Her combat power is 5,000, while Tsunade's must be at least 10,000!
It’s so big... Not only is it big, it’s also very beautiful, without any feeling of being bloated, which makes people unable to help but admire it.

Well, he was referring to the Hokage's office, not something weird.

Look at the vast area, the simple yet functional furnishings, the towering...furniture.

No wonder Jiraiya, after all his experiences, still couldn't forget the throbbing of his youth. Only a scientific madman like Orochimaru could remain indifferent to such a fierce woman.

As expected, Tsunade was born with great evil.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi. You completed the mission beautifully."

"Shizune has prepared your reward, take it and have a good rest."

Tsunade rubbed her brows as if she was a little tired, glanced at Kakashi and Luke, and spoke softly.

"……Yes."

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, thinking that Tsunade would not embarrass Luke, and left the office with a pursed mouth.

The office was silent for a few seconds.

Tsunade stood up from her chair and looked carefully at the young man in front of her. He looked to be in his twenties, very handsome and tall, with a friendly temperament that made people want to get close to him, as well as the youthful vigor and vitality that are unique to young people.

"Senkawa Luke... Really?"

She spoke after a moment's hesitation, recalling the young man's information.

He is a native of Konoha. His father, Senkawa Takumu, is an ordinary blacksmith. His mother, Senkawa Nayuki, is from a samurai family, but the family has fallen into decline for the past three generations and is equally mediocre.

The only exception in the family is Qianchuan Lu Ke.

Although he does not have outstanding ninja talents, he has a quick mind and excellent business acumen. At a young age, he learned to use unprecedented promotional methods such as "group buying", "cutting one knife", and "unconditional return", and once occupied the low-end market. When he was blocked by other merchants, he retreated bravely, gave up a huge part of the profit, and promptly sought shelter from his friend Hatake Kakashi. During the reform of his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen, he chose to go to the Iron Kingdom to practice forging technology. Recently, he has developed scientific ninja tools and has become famous.

In general, she felt that he was a smart young man with an open mind, strong business and learning abilities.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Luke bowed slightly, smiled gently, and answered calmly.

"Don't be so polite. I am only taking this position temporarily. As long as a suitable candidate is found or the crisis facing the village is resolved, I will leave immediately."

Tsunade said these words as if reading a disclaimer, showing some admiration for Luke.

"You are quite good, Luke. From the intelligence I heard and Kakashi's report, several forces including the Hidden Mist Village have tried to recruit you, but you still chose to return to Konoha."

Luke replied modestly, "This is what I should do."

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction, "Don't worry, the village is no longer run by those old stubborn people. If you work hard for Konoha, Konoha will not let you down."

"The conditions that Kirigakure offers you, Konoha will double them!"

"what?"

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, recalling the conditions given by Mei Terumi, and showed an embarrassed expression and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No need, Lady Tsunade. I have deep feelings for Konoha and came back voluntarily. The conditions they offer are a bit special. I'm afraid here..."

Seeing this, Tsunade raised her eyebrows. She was pleased but also felt a little unhappy. She was the leader of the five major ninja villages in Konoha. What conditions could the Hidden Mist Village give that the Konoha Village could not?
"Tell me, what conditions did the Hidden Mist Village offer you?"

Lu Ke rubbed his hands awkwardly, his face turned red, and he seemed to have a lot of concerns, but he still didn't say anything.

"Just speak boldly!"

Luke made an awkward expression as if he was forced into a corner. "It's just that... the lady who recruited me, Mei Terumi, said that if I go there, I will be the partner of the Fifth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village."

Tsunade:……

Tsunade, who was so aggressive just now, twitched her mouth. She didn't expect the Hidden Mist Village to play such a big deal. She fell silent for a moment, feeling extremely embarrassed.

After a moment, she spoke expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened.

"The Ninja Tool Department has taken over most of the ninja tool shops in the village. It is already a very critical and powerful department. If you show your ability, I can make you the head of the Ninja Tool Department directly."

Lu Ke nodded hurriedly, "Yes, thank you Tsunade-sama for your appreciation. I also think that the conditions of the Hidden Mist Village are too harsh... It's normal that Konoha can't do it..."

Tsunade clenched her fingers, her bones creaking, and pretended not to hear anything as she continued to make promises: "As long as you have enough merits and enough supporters, you may even have a chance to become the next Hokage."

"Yes, being the Hokage is naturally better than being the husband of the Mizukage."

Lu Ke continued with a sincere face: "Don't take the words 'Konoha will double the conditions of the Hidden Mist Village' to heart. You didn't know before that this condition was not..."

"You are tired today, go back and have a good rest. Bring your scientific ninja tools to the training ground tomorrow to demonstrate this technology. The leaders of the major ninja clans will come to observe. Remember to prepare well."

Tsunade took a deep breath, forced a smile, and spoke a long sentence in one breath like a machine gun without pausing. Finally, she waved her hand without giving Lu Ke any chance to refuse.

"Okay, please step back."

"……Yes."

Luke left with a smile on his face, and a happy smile on his face.

It's really fun to tease Tsunade, who is born with great evil!

The office door closed gently, followed by the sound of light footsteps receding.

Tsunade walked to the window and watched the young man go away. When she could no longer see him, she returned to the chair that symbolized the power of the Hokage and fell into silence.

After a few seconds, her face gradually became ferocious, and finally she stretched out her hand and slapped the table hard.

Bang!
The poor desk was smashed into pieces by the strange force, and the entire Hokage Building was shaking.

"I'm so mad at you, this little brat!"

"He definitely kept bringing it up on purpose! He definitely did it on purpose!"

"If the scientific ninja tool disappoints me tomorrow, I will kill him!!!"

…………

Qianchuan Ninja Tool Shop.

After returning to his home after a long absence, Lu Ke looked at the furnishings in the house with emotion.

After not seeing you for two years, I still miss my hometown.

He immediately recalled the hard times before he awakened his golden finger, when he was always worried and frightened, and learned to forge iron from his father. His chest was red from the fire, and his whole body was sore and sweaty during the forging process. He also recalled the bland meals and the waves of guests that needed to be greeted with a smile...

Hiss~ Why are there only painful memories!
Lu Ke walked out of the forging room with a frown on his face, and saw his stupid brother Qianchuan Guang staring at him outside the door.

"Brother, it's rare for you to come back, let's go have some barbecue!"

"No, let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen."

"Hey hey hey~ But I eat Ichiraku Ramen every day, I want to change the taste!"

Luke: ...

How to explain that he didn't go there to eat noodles?
"Be obedient, I will definitely do it next time."

Qianchuan Guang complained quietly, "People like you will definitely be the next time."

However, facing his brother whom he hadn't seen for two years, he still obediently followed Lu Ke out and walked to the noodle shop next door in just a few steps.

Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant is still the same as before, with a wind chime hanging at the door, the Japanese warm colors are warm and bright, and the few tables and chairs are simple and elegant. Because it is not meal time, the place is rarely empty.

“Welcome~”

As soon as I walked into the store, a soft female voice came as expected. Acorus, who was wiping the table, heard the footsteps and greeted with her signature smile.

"Luke!"

The moment she saw Lu Ke, Acorus' smile was mixed with disbelief and surprise. Her eyes turned red little by little, and she excitedly rushed forward and hugged him.

"Who? Who did you just say?!"

The hand that triggered the keyword rushed out of the kitchen. When he saw Lu Ke, his face suddenly turned dark, and his face turned even darker when he saw his daughter hugging him.

"Long time no see, Uncle Ichiraku, a bowl of ramen please."

Luke smiled at his father-in-law, and said meaningfully, "You wouldn't do anything like letting the guests go hungry, would you?"

He gritted his teeth and walked into the kitchen angrily.

"Okay, Xiao Guang, just stay here and eat slowly. If it's not enough, add more."

Lu Ke touched his stupid brother's head, hugged Acorus and ran away.

I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, and I forgot the end.

Anyway, he thinks the stock market is doing well lately and wants to invest in some stocks!
