Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"Where are you going? You still have a mission," Naruto said.

"You guys go ahead, I don't have time," Sasuke said without turning his head.

Knowing that Sasuke wouldn't care about mission evaluations, which are important indicators for promotion to Chunin and even Jonin, Naruto didn't try to persuade him any further.

Watching Sasuke walk away and disappear from sight, he formed a hand seal with one hand, locked onto the Flying Thunder God kunai left with Sakura, and vanished into thin air.

Sakura, engrossed in the movie, was startled by Naruto's sudden appearance: "Huh? Where's Sasuke?"

"He said he didn't have time; it seems he needs to continue his training," Naruto said.

"Oh," Sakura replied knowingly.

Incidentally, Sakura also stands upside down on the ceiling, integrating her training into her daily life.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot!" Rissou yelled.

"Who are you calling an idiot? If you want to criticize someone, criticize Danzo. If it weren't for him, I would definitely have been able to confess before the engagement." Sakura said calmly on the surface, but was annoyed inside.

“Lord Danzo did nothing wrong; he was doing it for our own good.” - Sakura.

"That's enough! Don't mention that person to me again. It makes me angry every time you do," Sakura said angrily.

"It's all your fault. You hesitated and dragged your feet on confessing. You're fully responsible for Naruto and Hinata getting together." - Sakura.

"Didn't you agree too? You were also afraid of being rejected, and now you're blaming me for everything. If you want to fight, just say so." Sakura.

"Come on!" Risaka.

That's the idea, but how do you fight between two personalities?

They could only continue arguing and shifting blame onto each other.

"It's really lively here," remarked the Five-Tailed King.

Such a unique Jinchūriki is something he has never seen before in his life. It's quite interesting, at least it won't be boring, much better than the previous one who was so taciturn.

The nearly two-hour movie has finished playing.

The two arrived at a nearby open area and waited for Kakashi.

Naruto's mind was filled with images of Sasuke activating his Mangekyou Sharingan, and he pondered the reasons behind it.

Sakura and Sakura are constantly bickering.

I didn't feel awkward because of the quiet atmosphere.

The silence was broken by the sound of galloping horses.

Naruto snapped out of his daze and looked in the direction of the sound.

Soon, Koyuki Fuuka, who plays the role of an actress under the stage name Fuji Fuuka, rides a white horse and leaps into view, galloping past in front of you.

"No way! Wind! Princess Wind and Cloud?" Sakura exclaimed in disbelief.

Following them was a group of armored men on horseback, who came in pursuit.

"Sakura, I'm counting on you for these people behind us." Naruto said, then leaped up to a high place and, in a few flashes, overtook Kazahana Koyuki.

Xiaoxue, who was riding away on horseback, suddenly felt her collar being grabbed and she was lifted off the horse by an irresistible force.

Suddenly, everything blurred before my eyes, and when I looked again, I was already at the edge of a sheer cliff, looking down at all the mountains below.

"..." Xiaoxue.

Chapter 114 Contract

Shadow clones have a habit when they are out and about.

That is, whenever they arrive in a new place, they leave the Flying Thunder God mark in a location that is not easily found, touched, or erased.

Whether it's towering mountains, isolated islands overseas, or bustling towns.

At this moment, Naruto stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, spotting a barren mountain of suitable size, devoid of any signs of life.

In the blink of an eye, Nine-Tails Chakra Mode activated.

A dazzling golden chakra, like the sun, covered his entire body.

He then used the natural energy obtained from Kurama to refine a certain amount of Sage Chakra, thus entering Sage Mode.

This is Naruto's current strongest state, surpassing the Five Kage, but still quite a distance from the Six Paths level.

The Sage Chakra, after undergoing a wind-based transformation, quickly took shape, increasing the chakra output and thus enlarging the size of the Rasenshuriken.

Finally, add Kurama's chakra, being careful to maintain the correct proportions.

"what is this?"

"Sage Mode, Super, Giant Ball, Tailed Beast, Wind Release, Rasenshuriken?"

Thinking this, Naruto strained towards the chosen barren mountain…

Throw it away.

The enhanced version of the Spiral Shuriken, with its piercing shrill sound, disappeared into the desolate mountains as a tiny dot in the field of vision.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion resounded.

Endless light and heat burst forth, and the not-so-small barren mountain was evaporated and obliterated in the process.

"..." Xiaoxue.

After a while, a violent shockwave swept over, making it impossible for her to open her eyes. She had to lie down, otherwise she would likely be blown away.

After the storm subsided, Xiaoxue slowly raised her head.

What comes into view is a large flock of startled birds scrambling to take flight into the sky, while animals in the nearby mountains are also fleeing into the distance.

At the center, where there should have been a barren mountain, there was nothing but emptiness; the entire area had been leveled, leaving only a meteorite crater.

"..." Xiaoxue.

"How was it? Pretty impressive, huh?" Naruto asked.

Xiaoxue remained silent, her mind a jumbled mess, so confused she even thought she was dreaming.

Wasn't she escaping on horseback? Why did she suddenly end up in a place like this?

There was also a boy who used unbelievably strong power to destroy a mountain, and then inexplicably asked her if it was amazing.

"Hey, how amazing is it? Give me a reaction," Naruto said.

“Impressive, amazing,” Xiaoxue said stiffly.

"Have you ever seen anyone stronger than me?" Naruto continued.

Xiaoxue shook her head.

You're someone from our dreams; in reality, who can be as powerful as you?

"Okay." Naruto smiled, sat down cross-legged, reached into his ninja tool pouch, and pulled out paper and pen.

Swish swish.

He wrote a bunch of things on it, then tore it off and handed it to Xiaoxue, gesturing for her to take a look.

Unable to distinguish between reality and a dream, Xiaoxue, who leaned more towards it being a dream, took a deep breath, reassuring herself that there was nothing to be afraid of, and took the book, skimming through it quickly.

"A contract?" Xiaoxue raised an eyebrow.

The gist of it is that the blond boy in front of her will protect her and help her defeat all her enemies.

The price she had to pay was 95 percent of all her income—I've circled "all" to emphasize that.

"If there are no problems, please sign here," Naruto said.

"Ninety-five percent, huh? Are you treating me like a slave?" Xiaoxue said expressionlessly.

“Slaves won’t get a single penny,” Naruto said. “Besides, this is still under discussion. If you think it’s inappropriate, you can give your opinion.”

"At most twenty percent," Xiaoxue said.

"That's too little. It comes from the protection of a strong person. Where else can you find a strong person like me who is always available when you call? Eighty percent, that's the most I can count on," Naruto said.

“Thirty-five percent, you are indeed very strong, but to say that you can be there whenever you need us is unrealistic,” Xiaoxue said.

“Seventy-five percent. I say I can do it, so you don’t need to worry about that. If I can’t do it, you don’t have to pay,” Naruto said.

Suddenly, Naruto's nose twitched as he smelled something. His gaze shifted downwards, noticing a small wet patch on Yuki's skirt. "Uh...did I scare you? Sorry!"

Xiaoxue knew what was going on without even looking down. She casually patted it, folded over the dry part next to it, tucked it in, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it. Let's get back to what you were talking about."

"Forty percent, that's my bottom line. In all my years as an actor, I've never signed a contract with a figure exceeding that."

Is this the professionalism of a true actor? Even if Mount Tai collapses before him, his expression remains unchanged; Naruto is filled with awe.

If it were him in this situation, I don't know how embarrassed he would be. It's amazing that she, as a girl, can be so calm.

"Okay, forty it is."

Naruto originally wanted a price range of forty to fifty.

He deliberately raised the price so high just to deal with haggling, and now the result perfectly meets his requirements.

Two contracts were rewritten, with the content remaining the same, but the price was adjusted to 40%. Both parties signed them, and each received a copy.

Twenty minutes later.

the mall.

Private bathroom.

Having changed her clothes, Feng Hua Xiaoxue covered her face, sat on the toilet seat, and wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it, never to be seen again.

“That guy…” Xiaoxue gritted her teeth.

He pulled out that incredibly flimsy contract, intending to tear it up, but hesitated and couldn't bring himself to do it.

"If it's not a dream, then he truly possesses the power to destroy a mountain with a single blow..."

The wind, flowers, raging waves, and the snow ninjas who followed him were utterly powerless against such strength.

Otherwise, the Snow Country, which has been living in seclusion overseas and far from the mainland, would not have been attacked long ago.

“His goal is very clear: he wants money, and maybe me too. No, there’s no clause in the contract, which proves that he only needs money.” Xiaoxue squinted.
