Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

Their figures became blurred as they moved at high speed, exceeding the limits of what the naked eye could capture.

At the same time, the powerful force emanating from them is awe-inspiring, and no matter what kind of technique is used, it cannot stop their progress.

Before long, only the two of them remained standing in the palace, unharmed.

Those once-mighty warriors of the Sakura Kingdom were now lying in pools of blood.

After doing all this, they tacitly took out the sealing scroll, opened it, and summoned enough research equipment.

It's perfectly normal for scientists to carry research equipment with them.

After all, they had made ample preparations after hearing Xingliu say he would bring them to another world.

They then smiled at each other and began their experiment.

The following day, the shocking news that the Sakura National Committee member Wang had been attacked and killed swept across the world like a hurricane.

That once solemn and magnificent palace is now a ruin, silently telling the story of the fierce battle of last night.

The large number of deaths and disappearances made it impossible to cover up the news, causing shock and concern in various countries.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xingliu, along with Kaguya and Chinatsu, teleported back to Luoxia Town.

Night had fallen, and the quaint town exuded a unique charm under the cover of darkness.

Xingliu leisurely strolled along the street with his two beauties, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

They strolled through the bustling crowds, savoring the unique local snacks.

Chinatsu was filled with curiosity and anticipation for these novel foods, while Princess Kaguya, an old-fashioned woman, was also deeply attracted by these delicious snacks.

Her mouth was full of food, and her hands were busy too, tasting and praising it.

Xingliu couldn't help but chuckle softly as he watched Kaguya-hime eat so adorably.

His laughter made Princess Kaguya realize that she had been somewhat out of line. Her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly.

To hide her embarrassment, she chewed faster and quickly swallowed the food in her mouth.

Chika couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Kaguya's slightly flushed cheeks and flustered appearance.

She took Kaguya's arm and said gently, "Kaguya-neechan, don't be so shy. Lord Hoshiryu was just joking."

Princess Kaguya raised her head slightly, glanced at Hoshira through her long eyelashes, and a reproachful smile appeared on her lips.

She gently patted Qianxia's hand to express her gratitude, then turned to Xingliu and said, "You rascal, all you do is make fun of me."

Xingliu watched the interaction between the two beauties and felt a sense of warmth and satisfaction in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's keep looking around and see what else we can eat."

So the three of them continued strolling through the streets of Luoxia Town.

They sampled various local snacks and admired the town's night view and unique architectural style.

During this process, Hoshiryu occasionally introduced some interesting facts and customs of this world to Princess Kaguya and Chinatsu.

In this warm and harmonious atmosphere, a familiar figure suddenly came into their view.

Zhang Zhiwei stood dejectedly at the entrance of an inn, sighing deeply.

Although the children Zhang Zhiwei had previously brought back had recovered physically under Xingliu's treatment, their emotional trauma remained difficult to heal.

Those children who were cruelly transformed into dogs with human faces now believe deep down that they are no longer human.

They cannot escape that horrific memory, nor can they reintegrate into normal life.

Zhang Zhiwei made tremendous efforts and showed great patience in comforting these children.

Chapter 196 Accepting the Invitation

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei took advantage of the children finally calming down and went to the entrance of the inn to get some fresh air.

The task his master gave him—to find Xingliu and the others and invite them to Old Master Lu's 80th birthday celebration—had been weighing on his mind like a stone.

He had only met Xingliu and the others by chance, and he didn't know where they were or whether they would accept the invitation.

Just as he turned to leave, the figures of Hoshiryu, Kaguya, and Chinatsu suddenly appeared before him.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the worry on his face vanished instantly, as if he had seen a savior.

He never expected to run into them here, and the task his master had given him finally came to fruition.

The heavy burden in his heart instantly lessened considerably, and he strode towards Xingliu and the other two, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Seniors, what a coincidence! I was just wondering how to find you."

When Xingliu and the others saw Zhang Zhiwei approaching, they all stopped and greeted him with smiles.

"Brother Zhang, you seem to be preoccupied. Have you encountered some trouble?"

Zhang Zhiwei gave a wry smile and nodded, saying:

"I have indeed encountered some tricky situations. However, seeing you all now, I feel that things might take a turn for the better."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"Actually, my master was very grateful after he learned that you had saved so many children. He specifically told me to invite you to Mr. Lu's 80th birthday celebration."

"Our master said that such a good deed should be commended and publicized. He wants to take this opportunity to introduce you to heroes and valiant people from all walks of life, so that your good name may spread far and wide. So, what do you seniors think?"

As Zhang Zhiwei spoke, his eyes revealed deep expectation and earnestness, as if all his hopes were pinned on Xingliu's answer.

He watched the starry sky, awaiting his decision.

Xingliu caught a glimpse of Zhang Zhiwei's extremely sincere attitude and couldn't help but grin.

The most famous among them is the young man who plans and schemes step by step, and the old man who takes life and death lightly and fights if he is not convinced.

Zhang Zhiwei is undoubtedly a young man now, so Xingliu doesn't believe what he says at all.

Then Xingliu thought about it again and understood the general outline of the matter.

He guessed that Zhang Zhiwei must have told his master about what happened today.

His master, out of curiosity and caution, wanted to meet them in person to put his mind at ease.

Having figured this out, Xingliu's smile grew even brighter, and he nodded slightly in agreement:

“Brother Zhang, we truly appreciate your and your master’s good intentions. To be honest, when we saved people, we didn’t think about gaining any fame or fortune. It was just a matter of chance, and we acted out of our own conscience.”

At this point, he changed the subject and continued, "However, your master values ​​us so highly and is very kind to us. How can we let him down?"

Seeing this, Kaguya and Chinatsu immediately nodded in agreement, showing their support for Seiryu's decision.

For him, the invitation was not harmful at all.

So why not join in the fun and witness the famous scene of Lu Jin being slapped and crying?

Zhang Zhiwei's heart sank when he heard the first half of Xingliu's sentence.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could tell from the implication that it was a polite refusal.

However, to his utter surprise, Xingliu made a complete 180-degree turn in the second half of his sentence and actually agreed to his request.

This sudden reversal made Zhang Zhiwei's mood fluctuate wildly, like riding a rollercoaster.

Despite a brief internal struggle, Xingliu's acceptance of the invitation brought him a sense of relief.

So he prepared to tell Xingliu the specific time and place of the birthday banquet, but suddenly realized that he had never asked for her name.

This made him feel somewhat embarrassed and impolite.

So, with a hint of apology, he said, "I'm so sorry, senior. I've been so negligent and haven't yet asked for your name."

Xingliu, however, didn't seem to care. He waved his hand lightly and said:

"Hey, I already told you, don't call me senior. My name is Uchiha Seiryu, you can just call me Seiryu."

When Zhang Zhiwei heard this surname, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression changed slightly.

Clearly, the surname reminded him of some unpleasant memories or emotions.

Xingliu keenly noticed Zhang Zhiwei's reaction and explained calmly:

"Although my surname sounds Japanese, I have no connection to Japan. You don't need to worry about that."

This surname was still somewhat sensitive in this era, which is why Xingliu made some explanations.

However, he did not want to use a pseudonym to appease Zhang Zhiwei for this reason.

In his view, these people were not worthy of making him make such a compromise.

The reason he was able to communicate with these people kindly without resorting to harsh methods was simply because of his own conscience.

His heart wanted him to do it, so he followed his heart.

Zhang Zhiwei clearly wouldn't completely lower his guard based on just one sentence from Xingliu.

Although Xingliu and the others' actions in rescuing the children left him with a good impression, the moment he heard that surname, his goodwill was immediately replaced by vigilance and defensiveness.

However, he maintained a polite and courteous demeanor, after all, Xingliu's strength was undeniable.

So he politely said:

"Since you say so, senior, then I will take the liberty of addressing you as Brother Xingliu."

Afterwards, he told Xingliu and the others the address and time, and then made an excuse to leave.

Xingliu watched Zhang Zhiwei's departing figure, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

At that moment, Kaguya walked to his side and whispered:

"Husband, that person was hostile towards us just now. Should I go and deal with him?"

As she spoke, she made a downward chopping motion with her hand, a sharp glint in her eyes.

Xingliu looked at Kaguya and knew that her suspicious nature had resurfaced.

However, you can't blame her for this.

After all, she herself had a history of betrayal and ambush, and had even been betrayed by her own child. So it's understandable that she might be somewhat suspicious.

Xingliu raised his hand and gently tapped Kaguya's forehead, watching the blush rise on her face before lowering his hand in satisfaction.

He said gently, "No need. It's normal for him to be hostile. People in this era will be somewhat hostile when they hear the name of the Sakura Country. We don't need to take it too seriously."

Kaguya nodded as if she understood, though she was still a little confused. But since Hoshiryu had said so, she stopped thinking about it.
