Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

The man in front of her had never truly trusted her.

But none of this matters!

It followed Madara's gaze, also turning towards the Land of Wind.

If the conditions of the Ten-Tails and Madara Uchiha can be met, he will be able to see that nostalgic face again.

Chapter 8 The Land of Wind

In terms of living environment, the Land of Wind is arguably the most difficult and harsh among the five great nations.

This is especially true of Sunagakure, the ninja village of the Land of Wind.

The village of Sunagakure, built on barren land, has always struggled to attract more people to live there.

The frequent sandstorms and arid environment are undoubtedly the main reasons that limit its development.

However, this environment has also become an advantage for Sunagakure.

Unlike other villages, the entire Sunagakure village is hidden in a huge valley.

Apart from the huge opening outside the valley that serves as the entrance and exit, it is very difficult for outsiders to enter Sunagakure.

This unique topography gave Sunagakure a significant defensive advantage in past wars.

Even now, this terrain makes it easier for them to monitor everyone entering and leaving the village.

Kagura and Tsunade, who had already changed their appearances using the Transformation Jutsu, passed through the village gate, marveling at the breathtaking natural landscape.

But they both knew very well that the gate surveillance was just the simplest test.

Seeing the guards on both sides casting glances at them from time to time, Kagura knew that the real difficulties had only just begun.

Because the village has only one entrance and exit, Sunagakure is very sensitive to the entry of outsiders.

Especially since this was a long-term mission, the Konoha high command didn't know what Madara's subordinates were plotting in Sunagakure.

If long-term surveillance of the village is required, then Kagura and her group must have a suitable disguise.

Otherwise, if this goes on for too long, the ninja from Sunagakure will probably come knocking on our door.

However, Kagura had already thought about this.

A few days later, a new ramen shop opened in Sunagakure.

The new shop, named "Ichiraku Ramen," immediately gained popularity among the villagers upon its opening.

(Many people probably guessed this already, O(∩_∩)O~)

Looking at the long line of customers outside the store, Kagura couldn't help but twitch her eye slightly.

In order to better hide in Sunagakure for a long time, Kagura simply disguised the two of them as a married couple who came to open a shop.

After all, cooking is something he is very good at, so opening a restaurant wouldn't arouse suspicion from others.

As for the store name, he shamelessly stole the name "Otsutsuki Ichiraku" from the original story.

Anyway, since both of their names happen to contain the character "乐" (le), I've already made a name for Uncle Yile in this world ahead of time.

His original plan was to open a ramen shop so that he could hide the two of them from the surveillance of the Sunagakure ninjas.

On the other hand, it would also make it easier for him to integrate into the village and secretly investigate the movements of the Akatsuki members.

It's unclear whether it was because of his superb culinary skills or because the people of Sunagakure had never eaten anything good.

He had just opened his shop when he received unanimous praise from the villagers.

On the third day, customers were already lining up in front of his shop.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the customer in front of her, Kagura's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.

This isn't what I expected. If it's this popular, how will I have time to carry out my mission?

"Two servings of the signature ramen, no scallions."

Hearing Tsunade's youthful and energetic voice beside her instantly pulled Kagura back to reality from her thoughts.

Unlike Kagura, Tsunade seems to really enjoy this role-playing game where the couple runs a shop together.

Watching her constantly moving among the customers, chatting and laughing, Kagura helplessly pursed her lips.

Has she forgotten why we came all this way...?

The customer's urging voice came again, and Kagura resignedly lowered her head to continue her work.

With all the prepared ingredients sold out, the customers who hadn't gotten their turn finally dispersed, grumbling and complaining.

Kagura, exhausted from making hundreds of bowls of ramen, slumped into a chair.

He never imagined that he, who had transmigrated, would one day become a tired office worker.

For a fleeting moment, he thought he had returned to Earth to work.

Tsunade, standing to the side, excitedly counted her reward for the day, repeatedly saying to Kagura:

"Wow, this seems to make more money than doing tasks!"

"Should we really open a noodle shop when we get back?"

Hearing this, Kagura rolled her eyes and said irritably:

"Don't forget why we came here..."

Tsunade put the money away and walked up behind Kagura with a grin, massaging his shoulders.

Feeling the nimble fingers kneading the sore spots perfectly, Kagura let out a comfortable groan.

It must be said that Tsunade, as a healer, made full use of her expertise in massage.

As Tsunade massaged his shoulders, she leaned down and whispered in his ear:

"Don't worry, I've already learned quite a bit from those customers."

Upon hearing this, Kagura raised an eyebrow, subtly signaling her to continue.

After pausing slightly to gather her thoughts, Tsunade continued:

"I heard that Sunagakure has recently made many attempts to study the power of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast."

However, it seems that so far all attempts have ended in failure.

Moreover, in the past few months, there have been several explosions and tailed beast rampages caused by failures.

Even the villagers were greatly affected, and their lives were significantly impacted.

Furthermore, based on those people's descriptions, it's almost certain that the one-tailed creature is located in a cave somewhere north of the village.

Before coming, Kagura had predicted to her that the Akatsuki members' target would most likely be the One-Tailed Beast.

Therefore, Tsunade's main focus this time was gathering information on the One-Tailed Beast.

Upon hearing the information Tsunade had gathered, Kagura couldn't help but lower her head and ponder.

In fact, Sunagakure's research on Shukaku the One-Tailed Beast began as early as the Second Kazekage's time.

Speaking of the Second Kazekage, Shamon, he was a man who influenced the entire Sunagakure village.

Shamen is bald and has a very imposing tattoo on his head.

His contributions to Sunagakure can be summarized in three points.

The first thing they did was to emulate Tobirama Senju by establishing a ninja academy.

The second thing was to study the One-Tailed Beast and begin sealing it into ninjas, thus developing Sunagakure's own Jinchuriki.

However, the technology was not mature at that time, so the Jinchūriki would often go berserk.

The third and most important point is that new ninjutsu was developed.

Most of the ninjutsu used by the ninjas of Sunagakure were invented by him, including (puppet ninjutsu) and (sand manipulation) ninjutsu.

I don't need to explain these two techniques further, do I?

It can be said that most of the famous characters related to Sunagakure in the later part of the story are related to these two ninjutsu.

Both Sasori and the subsequent Kazekage used these two ninjutsu.

Especially the current so-called "strongest Kazekage," the third generation Kazekage.

Although his bloodline limit, Magnet Release: Iron Sand, is the main reason he is famous.

However, the sand control technique it uses is still thanks to the gift from the previous Kazekage.

The itching near her ear pulled Kagura back to reality from her thoughts.

Turning his head, he realized it was Tsunade's hair that had fallen near his ear.

Looking at that flawless face, Kagura felt a desire rise within her.

He embraced Tsunade, who was almost within reach.

Tsunade, feeling the hardness beneath her, instantly understood his intentions. A blush crept onto her face, but she offered no resistance.

Kagura looked at Tsunade, who was resigned to her fate, and a malicious smile appeared on her face.

He lowered his head and whispered in Tsunade's ear:

"Here, let me treat you to a lollipop~~~"

Under Tsunade's bewildered gaze, Kagura closed the shop door and went to the back of the house.

After a while, a strange noise came from inside the shop...

Chapter 9 Uchiha Setsuna's Troubles

Uchiha Setsuna had actually been hiding in Sunagakure for nearly a month.

However, he is now very distressed.

He still remembered that a few years ago, during the riot in Konoha Prison, he finally had the chance to escape.

But before he could even savor the taste of freedom, he was captured by a monster that was entirely white.
