Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 80 The wind is howling, and standing in front of you is...

On September 54th, 9th year of the Konoha calendar, a heavy fog came quietly.

Qianchuan Guang completed the daily task of "Wake up brother" with sleepy eyes, and found the hidden NPC "Acorus", and obtained the rewards "Iron Fist of Love" and "Sugar-coated Bullet".

"The fog is so thick today."

Ayame frowned as she went out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw white fog spreading and rushing into the store. Looking up, the entire Konoha Village was shrouded in fog.

She had never seen such thick fog. Things just one or two meters away were so blurry that she couldn't see their shapes clearly. The deprivation of vision made her feel uneasy.

Lu Ke touched her head and said, "It has been a long time since it rained. It is normal to have some fog. There may be a rainstorm soon. Don't come over tonight."

"Who's coming over here?" Chang Pu blushed and punched Lu Ke's chest. "It's you who's the one who's pestering him."

"I was wrong. I was wrong."

Lu Ke begged for mercy, feeling the thick moisture in the air, and smiled. After a sticky tug with his girlfriend for a while, he sent her back, turned around and went back to the store and plunged into the forging room.

After a moment, a few mosquitoes flew out of the window and disappeared in the thick fog.

……

In Konoha's Anbu, the Chunin in charge of surveillance just changed shifts and saw that all the monitors were blank.

"Senior, what's going on?"

"It's foggy."

The ninja who was taking over the job yawned and said, "The fog started to form in the second half of last night. It was fine at first, but then it got bigger and bigger, and finally it became like this."

"Then how can we monitor it?"

"Just monitor as you should, and just stare at the monitor." The ninja who was rushing home to rest rolled his eyes, "Do what your superiors have assigned you, and don't worry about other things. Do you think your superiors will give you an extra penny for being so serious?"

Young people are just stupid. They look for work when there is no work. This is not the way to be a slave.

"Or maybe you can gather all the ninjas in the village who can use wind escape to see if you can blow away this thick fog?"

"How can I do that..."

The ninja on duty chuckled, nodded and hesitated.

"What if a foreign enemy invades at this time?"

"This is Konoha, the most powerful of the five great nations, the Land of Fire, and the most powerful ninja village in the Land of Fire. Our village is number one in the ninja world. Who dares to come and seek death?"

"That's true, Senior, go and have a rest. I'm here."

……

Lu Ke certainly didn't intend to invade by fog. Although "岚" means mountain fog in Chinese, it refers to strong winds and heavy rain in Japanese.

"Lanlong" is the master of wind and water, but it does not have the ability to directly control fog. It can indeed interfere by controlling the wind.

The heavy fog appeared purely because the rain that should have fallen was maliciously dispersed and controlled by someone, and the water vapor content in the air increased day by day, and finally rebounded after the force interfering with the weather stopped.

The sun slowly rises, and the strong light and heat are blocked by the fog but are also dispelled little by little. The heavy mist gradually evaporates, turns into gas and rises into the sky, and the thick clouds begin to expand.

Heavy rain is coming!

……

Such abnormal weather forced the residents of Konoha Village to stay at home. There were no pedestrians on the road, all the shops on the street were closed, and even the Ninja School was suspended for a day.

The whole village stopped running at high speed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the Hokage's office, feeling a little inexplicably uneasy.

When people get older, their mentality changes.

When he was young, he was full of vigor and was always willing to do various things to prove his abilities. But as he grew older, he became sophisticated and smooth, no longer liked "change", and lost his former sharpness of daring to think and act.

Putting down the government affairs in his hands, he closed his eyes tiredly.

He also had to take time out from time to time to check on Naruto's situation, publicize the Will of Fire, and occasionally deal with visitors from the upper echelons of the Fire Country, in addition to the trade exchanges between the major ninja villages, the overall situation of the ninja world, the surveillance of spies within the village, and the infighting among the Uchiha.

No matter how hard he tries, the work will never be finished, but he can only keep doing it, after all, this is the job of a Hokage.

There was a sound from the door, and then Danzo pushed the door open with an unexpected look on his face.

"Hiruzen, what do you want from me?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up a booklet and said, "Recently, many ninjas have complained about the high prices of goods in ninja tool shops. Do you have any idea?"

Danzo snorted coldly, "It's not high at all, it has been this price for years. Those ninjas are just talking nonsense. If you have time to complain, think about whether the ninja rating has not been raised or whether there are fewer missions."

In order to get the price of ninja tools approved, the owners of the ninja tool shops gave Danzo a lot of dividends, so he would naturally be biased.

"You have to be sensible and don't go too far. Ninjas are the backbone of the village, and their treatment cannot be low."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. In recent years, he gradually felt that he was unable to cope with the situation. The Elders and Danzo had divided a lot of power among them, and he was always soft-hearted towards his former companions...

Maybe I am no longer suitable for this position.

But Danzo is definitely even more inappropriate!
"In peacetime, the wear rate of ninja tools will not be too high. Ninjas can afford a small premium. This is also for the economic development of Konoha."

Danzo explained vaguely that he was also a member of the village. His wallet was fatter, which naturally meant that the village's economy was developing. The Root was doing shameful and dirty things every day, and all the credit went to Sarutobi Hiruzen. He still felt aggrieved!

Not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen or the Hokage, who has already sat in this position, what is there to complain about a small matter...

"Compared to these, the Uchiha problem is much more serious. How did you and Shisui discuss it?"

Danzo changed the subject and pointed out the problem elsewhere. "…Give Shisui a little more time. If it doesn't work, he will use his trump card."

"What kind of killer weapon is it?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

Humph, you hide everything from him. How can someone who doesn't trust his subordinates become Hokage?
Danzo was filled with dissatisfaction. In his opinion, no one except himself was worthy of being Hokage, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had only spoken a few seconds earlier than him.

If he had been a little more aware, he wouldn't be standing there being scolded today, but the opposite would have happened.

If he had said that he would stay behind to cover the retreat...

Danzo was lost in fantasy when he suddenly heard a loud thunder in the sky.

Rumbling--

Several bolts of lightning shuttled through the dark clouds and rain, showing a ferocious smile to the people below, accompanied by rumbling thunder, casting a shadow on the hearts of those who saw or heard it.

The power of heaven, the irresistible majesty of heaven!

……

In the forging room, Lu Ke spread out his hands, and the last magical weapon in the plan was unfolding in his palm. It was a pair of transparent and colorless glasses that ordinary people could not see - [Kaleidoscope Mirror].

This magic weapon has only one function, which is to block out the things he doesn't want to see in his field of vision, which is called mosaic. Because the name of Mosaic Mirror is too rustic, Lu Ke deliberately gave it a cooler name.

The elements for victory had been gathered, and Luke left the forge humming a tune.

……

During dinner, in the dull and dim background, Lu Ke announced at the table that he was going to the Iron Kingdom for further studies.

"So sudden?"

Senkawa Nayuki seemed a little uneasy about her son's plan to leave the village.

"It's not sudden. In fact, I have already asked Might Guy to help me investigate the situation over there," Luke explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't go now. I will wait for Guy to come back and report the situation to me so that I can be ready before leaving."

"The Iron Country is just a stepping stone. When I have mastered enough skills there, from a blacksmith to a ninja craftsman, I will consider going to the Craftsman Country, which is the ultimate place for ninja craftsmen."

Qianchuan Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stopped eating. "By then, will our cooking skills be better than that girl's?"

He has always been upset about his own works being criticized as garbage every day.

"of course."

Luke touched his brother's head and nodded with a smile.

Conan can learn all kinds of skills in Hawaii, so why can't he go to the Land of Craftsmen and build a Gundam!
Naxue was still worried, "Are you sure you want to do this? In fact, the money at home is enough. If it's because the blacksmithing work is too tiring, you can find another job. Ichiraku is thinking of letting you inherit his craft."

"No, it's just that Konoha's unchanging decay is too demoralizing." Luke shook his head, "We can definitely become better."

"But……"

"Stop talking, Nayuki." Takumi Senkawa interrupted his wife's dissuasion.

"Luke has grown up. He is more capable than us. Let him do whatever he wants. If the child wants to make a living, do we have any other choice but to support him?"

The honest and dull man forced a smile at his son and said, "Go and do what you want to do. There will always be hot meals ready at home waiting for you to come back."

"Brother, remember to teach me when you have learned it well."

Maybe because he knew the time of separation was approaching, he no longer cared and nestled in his brother's arms and acted like a spoiled child.

Nayuki started talking about the weather in the Iron Kingdom, what clothes to bring, daily necessities and other items.

Lu Ke felt genuinely warm as he watched this scene. Although having his family around did cause a lot of inconvenience, it was because of them that humanity was maintained. Otherwise, he might have become a native of his homeland after gaining power.

"Come to think of it, Kai has been gone for about ten days now," asked Qianchuan Takuwu.

"Yes, ten days."

If he took action as soon as Kai left the village, he would be too suspicious. However, the time period was just right and he would not be able to get back in time, so the possibility of being suspected was small.

One of the elements of victory is to transfer away Konoha's highest-power Eight Gates Kai, who may be able to turn the tide!

After dinner, the family said good night to each other and returned to their respective rooms. During this time, the stupid brother looked at the thick dark clouds and lightning outside and was a little scared. He expressed his hope to sleep with Lu Ke, but was ruthlessly rejected.

For tonight's operation, Lu Ke even rejected Acorus, and his stupid brother was naturally no exception.

……

At night, Luke opened his eyes in the darkness.

He took out the magic weapon from the devouring sac, put on the [Thousand-Change Mirror], wore the [Seamless] and [Divine Shoes], held the [Moonlight] in his hand, and put on the [Faceless Man] and [Breath-Containing Bracelet].

The second element of victory is to prepare your equipment first and assemble it to the teeth.
A shadow clone took over the original body's position and lay back on the bed, while the original body began to become transparent.

The window then opened when no one was around, lasted for a second, and then closed again.

Lu Ke, who had used the technique of teleportation to hide his body, looked up at the sky and spoke softly.

"It's time to rain."

Tick, tick!
At first there were only a few drops of rain, and then within a few tens of seconds the rainfall increased sharply, and the heavy rain hit the roof, the ground, and the leaves, making crackling sounds.

Following the command of the God of Wind and Water, dark clouds and rain began to surge, and the rain that had accumulated for many days began to flow down.

The wind is howling and the rain is pouring!
