Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 522 The Infiltration of Travelogues (Part 1)

Hidden Cloud Village, Thunder Cliff:

The travelogue describes someone carrying a hoe and walking along a path in the fields.

I never knew what use the knowledge I learned in Konoha Village was.

However, as he grew older, after arriving at Kumogakure, he finally understood the purpose of everything he had learned.

"Hey, it's Brother Youji!" a voice called out.

As the travelogue turned his head, he saw Killer Bee, wearing sunglasses, rushing towards him.

The travelogue looked at Killer Bee speechlessly: "I'm younger than you, so please don't call me 'big brother'."

Killer Bee waved his hand: "Brother Yuki, we, the people of Kumogakure, have all witnessed what you have done for us."

As he spoke, Kirabi handed a newspaper to the travelogue.

Yuki took the newspaper, glanced at it, and immediately raised an eyebrow: "The Chunin Exams of the entire ninja world?"

Killer Bee nodded: "The Chunin Exams, the national ninja exams, will be held in Konoha next year. You'll definitely be going back to Konoha then, right? How about I go with you, big brother?"

Yuki glanced at the documents in his hand, then at Killer Bee, and shook his head as he said, "No, the fourth batch of experimental rice should be ready for harvest next year. Regardless of the outcome, I probably won't be going to Konoha next year."

Killer Bee's body slumped immediately: "Hey? Travelogue-kun, you're not going? Then I can't go either?"

The travelogue sighed helplessly: "You can go find Lord Raikage..."

"No, no, no, my brother doesn't even understand art. He's never liked listening to my rap. I absolutely won't go to him."

The travelogue looked at Killer Bee speechlessly. "You're still thinking about your crappy rap?"

Fine, as long as you don't sing in front of me.

Killer Bee used to really enjoy throwing in some rap references in his travelogues.

After the first and second experimental dry rice varieties were successfully produced, no one in the entire Hidden Cloud Village dared to disrespect Yuki anymore, and Killer Bee never dared to rap in front of Yuki again.

But how should I put it...

I used to find Killer Bee's rap annoying, but now that I can't hear it anymore, I realize that Killer Bee's rap doesn't really matter.

Now that he's stopped singing, he actually misses it a little.

It has to be said that, to some extent, everyone has a tendency to be a little bit masochistic.

Youji shook his head at this thought; he wasn't the kind of person to act foolishly.

Well, at least now that I'm more mature, it's definitely not like that.

Patting Killer Bee on the shoulder, Yuki said, "You'd better tell your brother. After all, he's the Raikage, and you should report what you've done to him."

Killer Bee's face scrunched up, his expression clearly showing his resistance.

"Forget about that, do you have time to go help me out at the watermelon patch?"

Killer Bee immediately perked up upon hearing this: "Is it time to collect the goods?!"

Killer Bee's Eight-Tails immediately perked up, and drool dripped from its mouth.

"Hmm, it's almost time. The lighting conditions here at Thunder Bluff are excellent, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Theoretically, we should be able to harvest the goods now."

Killer Bee nodded repeatedly: "OK, OK! I'll take some men over right away!"

The travelogue looked at the energetic Killer Bee and shook his head.

They're just some experimental fields...

Is it really necessary to go this far?

The travelogue, carrying a hoe, returned to his home on the mountainside.

His wife immediately came over: "Honey, you've worked hard, take a rest."

The traveler took the towel his wife handed him and asked, "Where's that wandering fellow?"

His wife smiled gently: "I just fell asleep. Honey, are you going back to Konoha for the Chunin Exams next year?"

Looking up at the travelogue, he thought of his father's face, then his body trembled and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, if I go back, not to mention my mother, my father will definitely scold me to death."

The wife covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Just then, someone arrived outside.

"Brother-in-law! You're home!"

Mabuyi pushed open the door and walked in, holding a document in her hand. Her eyes lit up when she saw the travelogue, and she handed the document to the travelogue.

Youji took the book and looked at it, then smiled: "Has the second phase of dryland rice been promoted? You've worked hard. Hurry up with the third phase as well. Although the production capacity of the third phase has only increased a little, the empty husk rate and lodging resistance have been greatly enhanced."

If possible, the third phase should be a key focus for promotion.

Mabui nodded, then asked the same question again: "Will you return to Konoha for next year's Chunin Exams?"

The travelogue writer sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "I'm not replying. By the way, you're the third person to ask me this question today."

Mabuyi was taken aback, blinked, looked at her sister, then at her brother-in-law, and asked, "Who's the other person?"

The travelogue was met with a black line.

After resting at home for a while and taking a nap, Youji picked up his hoe and prepared to climb Thunder Cliff.

Halfway there, the travelogue realized that there seemed to be a lot of people there today.

And every now and then people would pass by and greet him.

Upon reaching the upper part of the mountain, the travelogue saw that the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee were now upwind on the mountainside, where a group of dark-skinned men and women from the Hidden Cloud Village were gathered and whispering.

Yuki walked over and looked at the Fourth Raikage with a puzzled expression: "Lord Raikage, what is this...?"

The Fourth Raikage coughed and said, "I just happened to have some free time today, so I came to take a look."

Yuki nodded, then said to Killer Bee, "I'll trouble you and Lord Ya-Oni to help me turn over the soil here."

Killer Bee nodded repeatedly, then pounded his hands together, and his body transformed, with his lower body turning into octopus tentacles.

Kirabi leaped into the experimental field of the travelogue.

Then the Eight-Tailed Gyūki appeared, its enormous figure tumbling several times in the experimental field, snapping off the watermelon tendrils and vines one by one.

Seeing this, Yuki nodded, then said to the Fourth Raikage, "Lord Raikage, go and see how this issue of Watermelon is doing."

The Fourth Raikage nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining.

Afterwards, Yuki went down to the field, picked up a watermelon, tapped it, listened to the clear sound, and then handed the watermelon to the Fourth Raikage: "This one is ripe."

The Fourth Raikage secretly praised him, for even to this day he still didn't know how someone could tell whether a watermelon was raw or ripe just by tapping it.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he can eat it.

Opening the watermelon, the bright red flesh made the Fourth Raikage's smile even wider.

I opened a travelogue, took a bite, and then frowned.

The Fourth Raikage also took a bite, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"So sweet!"

Meanwhile, Killer Bee's Eight-Tailed Gyuki has already started stuffing watermelon into his mouth.

Judging from those waving tentacles, they must be very happy.

Meanwhile, the villagers of Yunyin Village immediately rushed into the melon field and began harvesting the watermelons.

The travelogue writer shook his head: "Not really, too many watermelon seeds."

The Fourth Raikage was speechless. He should be grateful to have food at all, yet he was complaining about this and that…

Oh, you're from Konoha Village. Never mind then...
