Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"However... for some reason, a little over a month ago, Inazuma suddenly announced the lifting of the country's isolation order. Some daring merchants violated the ban and secretly went to Inazuma, and some information about Inazuma has also been leaked..."

"Inazuma's real name is not his real name, but Dragon King... He is an extremely mysterious figure. No one has ever seen him. Even the people of Inazuma suspect that the Dragon King is a fictional character who does not exist at all."

"The true ruler of Inazuma Country is said to be a woman, very mysterious, her appearance unknown, and her name is..."

After a pause, Kakashi said with a serious expression, "Lightning General!"

Sakura's face turned horrified. "That woman from earlier?!"

Kakashi hesitated: "Maybe..."

"Why...did she become Naruto's family?"

Sakura was puzzled: how could a person from Konoha and a person from Inatsume, two people from different countries, become a family?

Kakashi shook his head; he couldn't give an answer.

"Sasuke, could it be... that you know?" Kakashi caught a glimpse of Sasuke's unusual expression out of the corner of his eye.

Sasuke hesitated before saying, "I've seen them before..."

In Naruto's closet.

Sasuke and Naruto have a blood-drinking relationship... There are many things that Naruto won't tell Sasuke, but he won't deliberately avoid telling Sasuke either.

Therefore, Sasuke knew many of Naruto's secrets and had seen Naruto's treasures.

Among them are Lei's movies and Fu Hua's puppets.

Kakashi pondered for a moment and said, "Could you explain it to me in detail?"

Sasuke flatly refused: "No!"

Naruto was willing to reveal his secrets to him, so he couldn't betray Naruto's trust.

.........

Small, dilapidated wooden houses, a lifeless populace...

Naruto, Rai, and Fu Hua walked along the road.

Fu Hua's bright eyes were filled with deep sympathy: "This country... is too poor."

"Is it just because of poverty?"

Naruto's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

As the three moved forward, all the pedestrians they encountered cowered and avoided them, not daring to approach.

In their eyes, Naruto and his two companions possessed extraordinary qualities, were no ordinary people, and should not be offended.

Fu Hua frowned slightly: "They lack courage... If they want to change the status quo, they need to be braver."

The greatest poverty is poverty of the mind.

They dare not do anything. Even if a mountain of gold were placed in front of them, those who are destined to be poor... would still be poor.

Naruto nodded and said, "That's exactly the point. One of the brave ones plans to build a bridge to awaken the courage of the people... and my team, Team 7, is tasked with protecting the bridge during its construction."

Fu Hua pondered for a moment, then shook her head, puzzled, and asked, "I don't understand, what does building a bridge have to do with awakening courage?"

Naruto wholeheartedly agreed: "I don't understand how a bridge can awaken courage either... but whatever, I'll just complete the task as required."

"Complete the mission? You still want to complete the mission?"

Lei interrupted, a hint of displeasure flickering across her beautiful face, "You still don't want to go back to Inazuma?"

The three-year period has ended, why hasn't the Dragon King returned yet?

Because he hasn't become a son-in-law yet!

In Lei's eyes, Naruto is a bit like the protagonist in a novel about a son-in-law who has almost invincible strength but insists on staying in a harsh environment to suffer.

That person is seriously mentally ill!

He could have left Konoha with her five years ago, but he stubbornly refused to leave...

The excuse that she's not strong enough is just that. If she can dominate the ninja world, how could Naruto, who is even stronger than her, not be strong enough?

Three years ago, when Inazuma was established, she wanted Naruto to stay and help her govern the country, but he didn't...

They said they were still children, incapable of governing the country, and needed to go to school.

It's just another excuse, and he's playing dumb.

Don't you understand what I really mean...? Governing the country later isn't important; the important thing is that you stay with me earlier.

But Naruto refused to stay; he insisted on returning to Konoha.

Are you a masochist?!

Inazuma, who was supposed to be the supreme ruler, had to return to Konoha to live the life of a sinner under surveillance.

Besides, if you're really keen on being a masochist, just come to me. I can satisfy any kind of desire you have.

But now...

"You must give me a reasonable explanation!"

Lei stopped in his tracks, turned around, and grabbed Naruto's shoulder, his purple eyes, gleaming with lightning, staring intently at Naruto.

—On the other side—

The Land of Waves is not very large; strictly speaking, it's just a small island.

Therefore, after Karin and Ryuzetsu inquired, they quickly found Naruto and the other two on a dilapidated street.

Lei remained silent with a cold expression, ignoring even when Naruto tried to speak to her...

Naruto, feeling helpless, turned to talk to Fu Hua. She stared at him intently. Unable to bear her gaze, Naruto turned back to speak to her, but she withdrew her gaze and still ignored him...

Naruto was talking to Fu Hua again, and Lei Yingdian cast a staring gaze at him again...

So the cycle continues.

Fu Hua had a faint smile on her face the whole time, as if she found it quite amusing.

Upon seeing this, Ryuusei and Karin, who had intended to come over to join them, stopped in their tracks. It seemed they had come at the wrong time.

"You've come at the perfect time!"

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he greeted Ryuzetsu and Karin warmly, inviting the two girls to come and play.

The two did not respond, and their questioning gazes turned to Lei Movie.

"Listen to him!"

Lei finally spoke, his expression still aloof, and continued to command: "From now on, his orders are equal to... no, greater than my orders!"

Ryuhei and Karin's eyes widened in disbelief... What's going on?! What's their relationship?! What's their identity?!

It's incredible that they could make their supreme ruler, the Shogun, willingly submit!

"Could it be... that legend is true...?"

Karin seemed to remember something and looked at Naruto in shock.

"What legend?"

Naruto was puzzled.

Ryuzetsu respectfully explained, "Our Inazuma's great name is Ryuo (Dragon King), but none of us have ever seen Lord Ryuo. Are you perhaps...?"

The meaning was obvious, and Naruto understood, so his face instantly darkened.

"How did I become the Dragon King?! And... what's with this daimyo thing? When did I become a daimyo? I don't even know it myself..."

Naruto said seriously, "Kage, I think you need to give me an explanation."

Instead of giving an explanation, you expect me to explain it to you? Are you even being reasonable?

Lei Yingdian felt wronged, but remained silent, as if to say... I, Lei Yingdian, have no need to explain my actions to anyone.

Naruto wanted to get angry, but Fu Hua stopped him.

It's okay for you to have minor disagreements, but you can't have big arguments that hurt your relationship.

"The Dragon King's name... I know what that means."

Fu Hua said, "Have you forgotten? When you destroyed the Grass Kingdom, the role you played was called the Dragon King... Someone wrote down this name, and it has been passed down to this day."
