Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 313 The Third Raikage and the Super Cannon

While they chatted and laughed, Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, and the rest of Konoha were having a great time strolling around the commercial district of Kumogakure.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio also traveled together in Kumogakure this generation.

Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza strolled around and chatted:

"Is your family pressuring you too?" Akimichi Choza shook his head at Yamanaka Inoichi. "I didn't have this much pressure when I was in the Ninja Academy."

Yamanaka Inoichi sighed, "There's nothing I can do. My parents are counting on me to have a baby so they can become grandparents soon."

Nara Shikaku shook his head: "My dad is alright, he doesn't urge me at all, but my mom... seems to be thinking the same thing."

Choza Akimichi sighed, and the other two followed suit.

This whole thing is such a mess...

They are already adults, but now the pressure from their families is even greater.

Especially Akimichi Choza.

In Konoha Village, many people now get married based on looks.

Although Choza Akimichi's family is rich, extremely rich, it's really not easy for him to find a girl to marry.

But his parents didn't care about that; the old couple were practically going crazy wanting to have a grandson or granddaughter.

"Every family has its own problems," Nara Shikaku sighed.

He then looked at a shop nearby and became interested.

"By the way, I haven't really smoked any of the Cloud Village's cigarettes yet."

"Wait a moment, I'll go buy it and try it."

Nara Shikaku went to a shop and came back with a strange look on his face.

Seeing that Nara Shikaku looked off, Yamanaka Inoichi asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Nara Shikaku took out a pack of cigarettes and looked at his companions: "Do you guys know how much these cigarettes cost?"

Choza Akimichi: "How much?"

Nara Shikaku: "One hundred ryo."

Yamanaka Inoichi was somewhat surprised: "How much?!"

Nara Shikaku, no longer wanting to keep them in suspense, said directly, "Not only that, this price is relative to Konoha in the Land of Fire."

If it's using Cloud Village ryo from the Land of Lightning, then it will cost three hundred ryo.

Yamanaka Inoichi: "This price is quite normal."

Nara Shikaku put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, took a puff, and commented, "Hmm, but the taste isn't very good."

The three continued strolling through the shopping district, but Nara Shikaku kept his head down the whole time.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza naturally discovered it while strolling around.

"Shikaku, what are you thinking about?"

Nara Shikaku reacted to their gazes, then said softly, "Our Konoha Village doesn't have any strict currency controls with other villages. That means a large amount of Konoha's money can't circulate to other villages, you know that, right?"

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza exchanged a glance and nodded.

Yamanaka Inoichi: "Ah, of course. When taking more than one million ryo from Konoha, you have to clearly state the purpose of the money."

Nara Shikaku spoke with a somewhat subtle expression, "What if... we could get a lot of money?"

Yamanaka Inoichi coughed violently.

Choza Akimichi quickly reminded him, "Are you crazy?! Didn't your father tell you not to go into business?! Your father solemnly instructed the two of us not to get involved in business matters!"

When Nara Shikaku heard Akimichi Choza say this, he shook his head and laughed, "I was just telling you guys... I know in my heart whether I can do it or not."

Even so...

However, when Nara Shikaku saw that Kumogakure had clearly copied Konoha's commercial street system, a slight ripple appeared in his eyes...

……

Yua, completely unaware that Nara Shikaku was about to pull a big stunt on her, was currently accompanying the other four Kage to the welcoming pavilion in Kumogakure.

Without a doubt, this is something they learned from Konoha Village.

However, it's not bad to have one; Yuya doesn't expect the Hidden Cloud Village to provide him with a very comfortable place to live.

However, upon entering the welcoming building arranged by Yunyin Village, Youya was somewhat surprised by the luxurious interior decoration of the hotel.

The game company didn't care about rare animal furs and teeth; what mattered most were the obviously expensive furniture inside, including furniture made of precious wood.

Wow, this reception building alone must have cost a fortune!

I just don't know exactly how much it cost, and whether the Raikage feels any remorse.

Well, the Raikage certainly wouldn't feel bad about it.

This kind of place represents the face of their Hidden Cloud Village.

He couldn't possibly let Youya sleep in a dilapidated house, could he?

Although he actually wanted to do that too.

"Everyone, eat well and sleep well today. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock sharp, I will take you all to visit the super cannon in Kumogakure!"

With that, Raikage vanished.

Yuya didn't pay much attention to the fact that Raikage had been greeting them with clones the whole time.

Others might have ulterior motives when they see this.

But there's only one possibility for the Raikage doing this: he really doesn't want to do this kind of job.

However, being grouped with the shadows from other villages did indeed put this brute in a difficult position.

You Ya knocked and banged around in the room he had arranged for himself, but did not find any recording device.

Well, in this respect, the Raikage did a pretty good job; he didn't resort to underhanded tactics.

You Ya knew that even the most powerful country in the world would plant listening devices in places arranged by diplomats from other countries. It was truly a culture of robbery, with absolutely no cultural refinement, yet they still liked to talk about freedom and democracy all the time.

That's absolutely hilarious.

You Ya received such good treatment, but the two small teams of eight people he brought did not.

In fact, while Yua was sleeping, or rather, while Yua was in her room, Sakumo Hatake and Might Guy would take turns standing guard outside with their squad to ensure that no thieves would come.

As evening approached, the dinner that Kumogakure had arranged for Yuya arrived.

Sakumo Hatake said he could try it first, fearing the people of Kumogakure might poison it.

You Ya waved his hand with a smile, saying that even if there was poison inside, he wouldn't be afraid.

His wife, Tsunade, is no pushover.

His body has already received various vaccines.

Even with that kind of deadly poison, Youya wouldn't die anytime soon.

If I were to use my golden abilities, I would be even less afraid.

What kind of poison can poison gold?

However, putting aside everything else, the Hidden Cloud Village is indeed aboveboard in this regard.

Youya not only eats well, but also sleeps soundly at night.

It seems to be because there is a special fragrance in the room.

……

The next day, Yuya, full of energy, was taken to the venue arranged by Kumogakure early in the morning.

And here, the Raikage had already begun to wait.

"You've finally arrived!" The Raikage grinned. "I'd like to see if you're still smiling after today!"

His voice was arrogant, and a huge cannon was mounted beside him.

Even the muzzle of this cannon is big enough for Youya to stand inside.

You Ya raised an eyebrow.

Would it be... to start making empty boasts now...?

Is he being a little too confident?
