Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 358 Lunar Landing Operation

The day Yua announced the news was not a special day in Konoha Village.

You Ya didn't specifically choose a date; he didn't think that much about it at all.

It was only because he realized that the ninja clans could no longer be exploited and that voices of opposition to him had emerged from within their ranks that Yuya felt the time had come.

However, if we reach the era of great space exploration in the future, future generations will probably try to mark this day with special symbols and do everything they can to say that this day is extraordinary.

Who knows, this day might even be a national holiday as a sign of respect.

However, Yuya must have died by then.

Now, because of Yua's words broadcast live on television, the entire Hidden Leaf Village is in a state of bewilderment.

However, this was within Yuya's expectations.

He knew from his past life that before the first rocket launch, those who predicted its failure would certainly fail, and there were quite a few people who predicted that a lot of money would be spent on flashy but impractical projects.

Because he felt these people would spoil his mood, Yuya kept the cost of building the rocket a secret from the villagers of Konoha.

What if there really is such an idiot who dares to speak up?

You Ya was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist hitting the other person.

And so, this day came to be.

It was like news suddenly being told to all the villagers of Konoha.

In fact, many villagers have almost forgotten about the provocation that Kumogakure made against Konoha a few years ago.

But as soon as this news came out...

Oh my god... my dead memories are attacking me...

So the Hokage never forgot to give those people from Kumogakure a good beating?!

After being stunned, the villagers of Konoha were naturally happy.

Then he started showing off and arguing with people from Kumogakure online.

Then a war of words broke out online.

You Ya didn't care about this.

His primary focus right now is undoubtedly the rocket launch.

Okay, calling it a rocket is a gross understatement.

First of all, this thing is made from the outer shell of various ninja tools melted down.

Then there's the power source, which I won't go into detail about; it's the same principle as the chakra cannon.

As for the size...

Hmm, have you ever seen a rocket that's only about four or five meters long?

Why make it in the shape of a rocket?

The first reason, of course, is Yua's perverse sense of humor.

This rocket just wouldn't feel right if it weren't made like this.

And then...

First of all, it doesn't need to carry people.

Secondly, in the Naruto world, the moon is not far from the planet where the ninja world is located.

At least in the movie, it's not far away.

Some people might say that the theatrical version is not the main feature film, but let's be fair, the author also credits the director for producing the theatrical version, okay?

Furthermore, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which is not flammable, is also based on this world view.

Therefore, the world view in the theatrical version is undoubtedly the world view of the ninja world.

If that's the case, then why make such a big deal out of it when we're not sending people to the moon?

Just launch a few more times, and remember to transmit the images taken on the moon back through each rocket stage; then the mission will be complete.

But...

Youya also has to put on a show during this process.

First, after the news was announced on television, Yu Ya stated that in order to highlight the significance of this operation, he would broadcast the entire launch and moon landing live.

All the villagers of Konoha were even happier.

Holy crap, it's live streaming!

Many people had already taken leave and went to their bosses, only to be told: "What leave are you talking about? I'll take you all to see it together!"

Then Yuya feigned concern, saying that this was the first time and that because of a lack of experience, they might fail, and everyone should be prepared.

However, according to the movie's setting, even if the moon landing is smashed into eight hundred pieces, it's still okay, at least they'll get there.

Anyway, landing on the moon is definitely not a problem.

This news caused great anxiety among the entire village of Konoha.

You Ya is really good at creating a lively atmosphere.

The day after Yuya announced, it would officially begin in June, with the live broadcast of the moon landing officially starting.

As a result, the attention of all the villagers of Konoha, no, the attention of the entire ninja world, shifted to Konoha.

The other ninja villages couldn't sit still any longer.

Are you guys from Konoha not planning to include us this time?!

You Ya shrugged, indicating that this time the families in our village would be able to support me in building a rocket.

Then, Yuya refused the requests from other ninja villages to come to Konoha.

It's fine to let them come, but you think I'll just let you come because you want to? You're so inconsiderate.

but……

Since this is the first time, even if other villages offered money, Youya would not allow them to come.

Mainly...

When the moon landing was successful, the camera panned to the cheering crowd, and then someone from another village appeared in the crowd. Doesn't that look jarring?

Therefore, Youya simply rejected the offers from other villages.

Later, You Ya spoke on television about the support he received from many families.

He even brought Hiruzen Sarutobi, Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, Torifu Akimichi, and others onto a television show.

Although this greatly enhanced their reputation in Konoha, it was clear that while the other elders within the clan were jealous, they also comforted themselves.

It's just some reputation.

You traded so much land and clan ninjas for this?

They had no doubt that even if this so-called moon landing succeeded, so what?

People will talk about it for a while, and then forget about it.

Well, if there's nothing on the moon.

Therefore, in June of Konoha year 52, Yua, along with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Fugaku Uchiha, and other clan leaders who supported him, appeared at the site of the moon landing operation.

The other ninja clan leaders were all very nervous at this moment, and Yuya also pretended to be nervous.

The other ninja clan leaders were all afraid that the moon landing would fail; if it failed, all their investments would be wasted.

Inside the Shimura clan's territory, Shimura Danzo sneered, "So what if you succeeded? You don't think that just by going to the moon once, you can make all the ninja clans in Konoha completely obey you, or that the people will listen to you because of this operation, do you?"

Danzo Shimura sneered.

Then the screen started a countdown.

As the countdown ended, the sound of "launch" could be heard in the live stream.

Afterwards, the rocket launched successfully, and You Ya looked relieved before continuing to watch the screen.

There was no sound in the control room of the lunar landing operation shown in the live broadcast.

After more than four hours of live streaming, the intermittently transmitted photos confirmed that they had indeed reached the moon, and the entire room erupted in cheers.

The next moment, the entire ninja world was shocked.

Because in the last image that was transmitted back...

There was a figure with the whites of both eyes visible...
