Chapter 123 Sending Warmth to the Land of Thunder

The sun was setting, and dusk had fallen.

The setting sun, like blood, dyed the western half of the sky crimson, while the clouds churned, their color a bright orange-red, like a giant hand stirring in a pool of blood.

Thousands of red rays pierced through the gaps in the clouds, casting an orange-red hue over the rolling mountains.

At the summit of one of the precipitous peaks, Naruto leaned lazily against a withered tree, holding a can of cola in one hand, looking up at the furnace-like landscape, as if he were truly on vacation.

He originally planned to visit the Land of Rain, but then he remembered that he still had some personal grudges with the Land of Lightning, so he changed course and went to the Land of Lightning with Uchiha Rokutsubo first.

The two decided to bring some warmth to Yunyin together.

As he was admiring the beautiful sunset, he suddenly frowned, sensing that something was wrong. After a moment, he realized what was happening and muttered, "Damn it, the timing is wrong!"

"Boss, what's wrong?" Behind him, Uchiha Rokutsuru, the lackey who was supposed to carry out this mission, leaned over and asked curiously.

It's almost dusk, night is just around the corner, wouldn't a surprise attack before nightfall be perfect?

"Hiccup~"

Naruto tilted his head back and downed the rest of his cola in one gulp, letting out a long, satisfying burp as he crunched the empty can. "We shouldn't have come at this hour!"

"Why?" Liu Tong was even more confused.

Naruto stood up, casually brushed the dust off his backside, and looked at his underling with a look of utter disappointment: "Don't you even understand this? Because trouble is bound to happen sooner or later! You have to come at noon." He said it with a straight face.

Six of Bamboo: "Forehead"

Weighing the aluminum can of trash in his hand, Naruto's gaze swept over the sheer cliff below.

With a flick of the wrist, the fingers loosened.

The jar jumped off a cliff!
The light aluminum cans were lifted up by the gentle breeze on the mountaintop and floated in the air.

Suddenly, a blinding white light enveloped it precisely.

"Dust Release: Trash Cleanup Technique!"

A flash of white light appeared instantly, and the jar vanished without a trace.

Naruto stretched his limbs, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and he looked around.

The landscape stretched as far as the eye could see, a continuous expanse of mountains, their undulating black silhouettes extending into the horizon, perfectly matching the information that the Land of Lightning was mountainous.

In addition, there are clouds.

Thick, heavy clouds pressed low over the distant mountain peaks, making the area as dark as ink. From time to time, pale white, branch-shaped lightning streaked silently through the depths of the clouds, illuminating the area for a moment before quickly disappearing into the darkness.

No wonder it's called the Land of Thunder.

"I've heard that the hot springs in the Land of Lightning are very famous. I'll go soak in them after the mission is over!" Naruto's lips curled into a smile of anticipation.

Having traveled through 12 years, aside from going to school and going on missions, I haven't really had a proper vacation.

Vacation is great, I wish I could take it long!

In your past life you were only good at being a beast of burden, but now you're invincible, can't you at least enjoy yourself?
As for various films, and anything about changing the world...
That's what clones are for!

Having these 007 clones of the King of Rolls go on 007 is just too awesome!
Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly narrowed his eyes and dangerously glanced at the seemingly overly relaxed Rokudoku beside him.

Why does this guy seem even more relaxed than me?

"Six of Bamboo,"

Naruto raised his chin, his tone leaving no room for argument, "Stop acting like your lousy reporter. The Mizukage Showdown team is at a critical juncture. You, Uchiha Obito Unit 1, get to stand by immediately!"

"Yes, Lord." Uchiha Rokutsuru bowed immediately and replied without the slightest hesitation. He had already sensed the danger!
Naruto stretched his shoulders, his sharp gaze fixed on the direction of Kumogakure. "As for now? Time to get to work!"

He took a deep breath, and his immense chakra perception spread out like an invisible tide.

Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, chakra points of light were as numerous as stars, with a few particularly dazzling. However, only two locations possessed that unique, ferocious tailed beast aura.

One big and one small.

Start by causing minor troubles.

Lock on the target.

Then, in the ocean of consciousness, tens of thousands of familiar spatial coordinates suddenly lit up.

There is one nearby.

"Caught you!"

Using the Transformation Technique, in the blink of an eye, Naruto's image was replaced by Obito Uchiha's cold and aloof demeanor.

He skillfully took out his signature tiger-skin mask from his backpack, put it on his face, and a chilling aura instantly replaced his previous laziness.

He glared at the Rokudō, his voice low and cold through the mask: "Let's go, let the Hidden Cloud Village feel the pain!"

Whoosh!
The space flickered, the scene shifted, and two figures suddenly appeared on the roof of a tall building, the evening breeze ruffling their clothes.

Below, in my perception, is the building where the Two-Tails Jinchuriki is located, all alone, with only a few guards.

His gaze swept over the few figures that occasionally appeared around the building.
Naruto frowned, his eyes behind the mask showing obvious surprise: "Tsk, the 'sunbathing' effect here is a bit intense, isn't it?"

Naruto had previously encountered the Raikage, a burly man with bronze skin, in the arena, and initially thought it was an isolated incident.

However, what one sees right now, and what one can see within sight, is that most of the people in the area have skin tones of varying shades, such as coffee or bronze.

Rokutsune carefully hid in the shadows, lowering his voice to remind her, "The boss's intelligence clearly states that most residents of the Land of Lightning have dark skin, though some women do have fair skin. The author of *Naruto* might be hinting at—no, paying homage to—a certain country, right?"

pay tribute?

Even through the mask, you could feel Naruto's tone of sudden realization: "This skin color... I get it! I should have come and planted cotton; it would definitely have triggered the skin color memory."

He turned his head and stared at Rokutsubo through the holes in his mask, his tone full of confidence in planning the future: "Don't forget to remind me later that after the ninja world is unified, there will definitely be an industrial revolution, which will be perfect for the people of the Land of Lightning to grow cotton."

Liu Tong's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but he ultimately chose to remain silent.

However, this sudden discovery of the 'homage' did distract Naruto for a moment.

Skin color is called a tribute, so think about it, what about my own blond-haired, blue-eyed savior?
Expressly?

Okay, let's get to work.

boom--

With a violent crash of flying wood chips and gravel, and a thick cloud of dust rising suddenly, Naruto burst into the room as if tearing through space!

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the taut figure of Yugito, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, was revealed.

Her sharp black eyes suddenly narrowed, locking onto the newcomer's face, fear shooting through her spine like an electric shock.

That distinctive tiger-striped mask!
That crimson Sharingan, gleaming ominously, flickered eerily through the gaps in the smoke and dust!

No doubt about it, it's the executioner who caused the Nine-Tails' rampage and whose infamy resounds throughout the ninja world—Uchiha Obito!

"You must be the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, right?"

Naruto asked in a low, hoarse voice through his mask, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over Yugito.

With blonde hair and fair skin that accentuated her striking features, she was indeed a beauty.

Looking at her hostile yet resolute face, Naruto suddenly had a brilliant idea.
