Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"Mmm... Ah~!"

Xiao Nan's pretty face quickly heated up.

Just as he was about to leave, Naruto stopped him.

"Mei Terumi has arrived just in time. Obito's assignments..."

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Konan said:

"We'll talk about this later... You two chat, I won't bother you."

Xiao Nan only reveals this other side of herself in private.

When others are around, she still has to maintain her angelic persona.

At least... to Xiao Nan's own knowledge, she has only been bumped into by hydrangeas once.

Mei Terumi is clearly the second one.

Her face flushed red, and she transformed into countless pieces of white paper, which flew away in the blink of an eye.

Mei Terumi stood there awkwardly.

He was secretly observing Naruto.

Naruto acted as if nothing had happened.

He pointed to the seat opposite him.

"Fifth Mizukage, please sit down."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi immediately felt a faint sense of crisis.

They were just calling my name, but now they're not?

No... I can't be too hasty, Kushina's gaze is strange... Oh dear! How embarrassing!

Then, Mei Terumi blushed and sat down next to Naruto.

Naruto was shocked.

Terumi hesitated and planned to directly explain her intention.

Her purpose in coming here was for the rest of her life.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he changed his mind.

"Cough cough... Naruto, I saw your student faint outside the village. He's at Konoha Hospital now."

Is that so?

"She herself said...it sounded quite urgent, saying that something big had happened in her village."

After Mei Terumi finished speaking, she suddenly realized that perhaps... it would have been better for her to just bring her here directly?

Naruto waved his hand, "This isn't urgent."

"Let's talk about something else, like... Kisame Hoshigaki?"

Mei Terumi's pupils contracted slightly.

She took a deep breath.

He turned his head and looked at Naruto intently.

"I just heard them say something like... nothing can be hidden from you."

"I didn't expect it to be true."

Mei Terumi nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice:

"The Hidden Mist Village sealed off that sea area a long time ago."

"Recently, someone discovered a creature in that sea area with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish."

"I immediately started looking up Kirigakure's confidential documents from the past few years."

"Finally, in Kisame Hoshigaki's file, I saw the first record."

"He was found by an old man on the beach."

At this point, Mei Terumi's expression became somewhat serious.

But the distance between his body and Naruto was getting closer and closer.

"Furthermore, before I came here, I received a message from the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu ninja."

"New creatures have appeared in that sealed-off area."

As she spoke, Mei Terumi tucked her hand into her bosom.

Take out a photo.

"Look at this, doesn't it look a lot like Kisame Hoshigaki?"

As he spoke, he spread out the photos.

Naruto: "..."

Mei Terumi: "..."

"Who gave it to you?"

Mei Terumi didn't say anything, but used the fastest hand speed she had ever had in her life.

He tucked the photo back into his pocket and took out another photo.

In the photo, a tall, humanoid figure with shark-like skin emerges from the water on the vast horizon.

The photo only shows her profile.

Just like now, from Naruto's perspective, all he can see is Mei Terumi's profile.

It was as red as a ripe apple.

Soon, she transformed into a steampunk princess.

As expected of Kirigakure, as expected of the Mizukage of Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi didn't dare to speak.

His pupils turned into jumbled circles, and he covered his cheeks with his hands.

After looking at the photo for a while, Naruto felt it was about right and asked:

"Is that Kurama?"

Mei Terumi nodded, almost burying her face between the tall and mighty twin spirit beasts.

Naruto did not continue the topic.

He said, "That area of ​​the sea is probably sealed off now, right?"

Mei Terumi nodded again.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll come over in a while... wait."

Naruto closed his eyes and released his senses.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken... beyond the Land of Water... over a thousand miles away lies the island of Shikkotsu Forest."

Hmm... Shikkotsu Forest, Ryuchi Cave, Mt. Myoboku.

It can move; sometimes it's on the sea, sometimes it's in the sky.

The length of stay varies.

Mount Myoboku changes the fastest.

Ryūchi-dō is changed every thousand years.

The changes in Shikkotsu Forest are controlled by the Slug Sage.

Just as I was sensing it, a sudden gust of hot air came from in front of me.

At the same time, her neck was also bound by soft arms.

......

Yu Liu woke up slowly at Konoha Hospital.

Then I saw a white-haired man standing next to me.

"teacher!"

Yu Liu excitedly got out of bed.

"Teacher! Something terrible has happened in our village!"

The white-haired man nodded and said, "I already know."

"Let's go now!" Yu Liu said excitedly.

"Discharged so soon... Is everything alright?" A voice suddenly rang out.

"Teacher Shennong is coming to our village, how can I possibly sleep in?" Yu Liu replied unconsciously as she was putting on her shoes.

"Yeah?"

Suddenly, Yu Liu woke up with a start.

Turning around, I saw a gentle-looking woman standing outside the door.

Shennong's expression remained unchanged.

"They're Konoha ninjas, right?"

Just as the slug was about to speak, Naruto appeared from behind it, followed by Mei Terumi.

This time, the matter of the Sky Ninja was resolved.

As for this Shennong?

Naruto glanced at Yuru.

Her skin was a bit dark, and she had a mole at the corner of her eye, but her features were quite delicate.

"Zero tail?"

The Rinne Sharingan is awakened.

I saw the Zero Tail inside her body.

He walked over slowly and glanced at Shennong.

Farewell God.

hum-

The next instant, Shennong's pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body trembled.

Yu Liu didn't notice this, but instead looked at... and murmured:

"Long blond hair...handsome appearance, with three beard-like birthmarks on his cheeks..."

Naruto certainly has the ability to remove the birthmark on his cheek.

However, he did not want to do that.

This beard represents the Nine-Tailed Fox.

In addition, the presence of a beard makes it easier to distinguish between Naruto and Minato.

so similar.

Yu Liu stared at Naruto for a while, then lowered her head slightly. "Naruto Uzumaki...you're Naruto Uzumaki, right?!"

Naruto deactivated his Rinne Sharingan and looked at the tomboyish Amau (Amaru) in front of him, who seemed to be hiding something.

"Didn't you recognize me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Liu knelt down in front of him.

"Naruto-sama!"

"Please... save our village... Master Shennong and you, Naruto-sama... you can definitely save our village!"

Naruto looked at Shennong, the leader of the Sky Ninja.

He possesses advanced medical ninjutsu, forbidden medical techniques, and the technology of the Sky Ninja.

The forbidden medical technique, Body Activation, can activate one's own body cells, thereby enhancing the body's capabilities.

Forbidden Medical Technique: Physical Regeneration. Even if the body is torn to pieces, it can be reassembled and resurrected.

Combined with the Eight Gates, physical transformation, and the dark chakra of the Zero-Tails.

Even if you open the Eight Gates, you won't die.

This is also why Naruto didn't kill him directly.

The air ninja can be dealt with directly.

"It's on our way, let's go."

Naruto turned around and said.

Mei Terumi was leaning against the wall outside the door, her face flushed.

Luckily, a slug was there to support it.

Yu Liu, kneeling on the ground, blinked, somewhat incredulous that the legendary Naruto-sama had agreed so easily.

She quickly put on her shoes and looked at Shennong.

At that moment, Shennong returned to normal after a moment of confusion.

"Let's go, Yuru. With Naruto-sama here, no problem is a problem."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the room.

Looking at Naruto's back, his pupils narrowed slightly, and then a look of respect appeared on his face.

The five people were very fast.

They left Konoha Village very quickly.

"Yuliu's village is located deep in the tropical jungle upstream of this river."

"There's also a historical site nearby."

On the airship.

Naruto looked ahead.

Shennong, standing behind them, spoke respectfully.

Before long, a Sky Ninja appeared ahead.

He was wearing flying ninja gear and flying through the air.

"Naruto-sama, that is the Sky Ninja."

"Should I call him over?"

"They all listen to me."

Shennong finished speaking.

Yu Liu, who was thinking about how to talk about her village, froze on the spot.

"unnecessary."

"The Sky Ninja harbor hatred towards Konoha and the entire ninja world."

"It would be better if it just disappeared."

With just a few simple words, Naruto sealed the fate of the Sky Ninja.

Hatred is not so easy to resolve.

but...

Naruto suddenly said, "When you get back, have them split up their battle lines and launch an attack on the five great ninja villages."

"Remember, it's a feint."

"I will have someone contact the five major villages to fight the enemy together."

"This can be considered making use of waste."

Even if Naruto said that.

Shennong's respect for Naruto did not diminish in the slightest.

In fact, the trend is escalating.

"yes!"

Shennong knelt down on one knee.

Yu Liu's mind went completely blank.

She's not stupid; as a doctor, she's also very perceptive.

She unconsciously focused her gaze on that man.

at the same time.

The aerial ninjas flying in the sky had already noticed the flying ninja tools that Naruto and the others were riding in.

He frowned, but after seeing who it was, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

However, at that very moment...

A spiral-shaped spatial fluctuation appeared in front of him.

The next instant, the air ninja's body was completely distorted by the spiraling spatial fluctuations.

Shennong turned his head and looked at Yu Liu.

"That little brat who was once ostracized by the villagers."

"Now, I've gained recognition from everyone thanks to the scalpel that saves lives."

Even though they were covered in wounds, they still came to report the crisis in the village.

"You've really grown up."

Shennong wore a warm smile.

But in Yu Liu's eyes, it was incredibly cold and sinister.

"I'm so sorry, I've already sent the Sky Ninja to attack your village, Amurei."

Rumbling--

Yu Liu stared at him in disbelief.

The teacher he respected was actually the leader of the Sky Ninja who attacked his village.

So... why did this happen?

"This...this must be a scam, right?"

Yu Liu shook her head, her eyes turning red at a visible speed.

At that moment, the airship arrived above her village.

Black smoke billowed up!

She rushed over to see, and when she saw the burned-down village, her mind went blank.

"Why...why?!"

She screamed incoherently.

Shennong glanced at Naruto and nodded slightly.

This was Naruto's request, to unleash the Zero-Tails.

Naruto then transferred the Zero-Tails into his body.

He can then complete the Sky Ninja mission and then return to Konoha to find Orochimaru.

Shennong came up behind Yu Liu.

"Because you are my prized student."

Naruto walked to the edge and looked down.

At that moment, Kakashi and Might Guy, who had just completed their mission, both gave an OK sign.

In addition, a woman was standing next to Kakashi, holding his hand.

Upon seeing Naruto above, he quickly bowed.

Naruto nodded slightly.

Then, he looked at Yu Liu, who was losing control of her emotions.

"After this, let's go straight to Shikkotsu Forest."
