In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"Put him down."

Commander Kisame Hoshigaki set Tim aside.

"Is this child with you?"

Uncle He Yan ladled the soup out of the pot for them and handed it to them. Then, he looked at Tim, paused for a moment, and asked, "..."

He seemed to have seen this child somewhere before.

"He wasn't with us, but I rescued him from the large ship that survived at sea. He was invading Sunagakure with the invaders, but they were eventually driven back by those ninjas. Even the large ship on the sea turned to ashes and disappeared. We rescued this child from the wreckage. He seems to be one of the invaders' subordinates as well."

"However, he is currently seriously injured and does not pose a threat to us for the time being, so we took him with us."

As Tianyu spoke, he kept a close eye on Uncle Heyan's expression.

I hope to glean something from his face.

"Oh, I see. This child is really unfortunate, forced to kill at such a young age. But luckily, they met you, and they should be able to live a good life from now on."

Uncle He Yan's expression remained unchanged.

After all, several hundred years have passed since the last orphan of their clan set sail.

Even though Uncle He Yan had seen the appearance of their royal family in the murals.

But so much time has passed that the appearance of that clan has long since become blurred in his memory.

Even if they think the kid in front of them looks somewhat similar, they won't make a choice so easily.

"Perhaps, but this child is still a dangerous element. If we take him back to the village and he can't give us a satisfactory answer, he might be executed. As you know, the five great nations are not at peace right now. There was a battle in Konoha recently. We can't let our guard down even with a child, otherwise he might stab us in the back at any time."

Tianyu said with a smile.

"Yes, that's true!"

Uncle He Yan agreed with Tian Yu's statement.

After all, they had traveled among the five great nations over the years and had already witnessed far too much of the coldness and warmth of human relationships.

Even in the ninja villages of the five great nations, betrayal happens frequently.

After capturing their enemies, the ninja villages would try their best to pry them open and extract information.

However, once it is confirmed that the person in front of them has no intelligence, they will not hesitate to eliminate him.

After all, danger must always be nipped in the bud.

"Well, but you've been traveling all these years, haven't you thought about finding a quiet place to settle down? You've been traveling among the five great nations for years, experiencing places ravaged by war, which must be quite dangerous. With your savings, buying a small village shouldn't be a problem!"

Tianyu began to probe for information.

"Yes, we do want to settle down, but we haven't been able to find a suitable place. However, a long time ago, we had a country. Unfortunately, after years of war, our country was destroyed in the flames of war. The royal family of the country left this continent by sea, while we were left behind!"

"Our land was taken away, and we became wanderers. Our country has now become a canyon due to the change in terrain. We can never go back to our old life!"

Uncle He Yan sighed.

"Then we could find a new village! I think the Land of Fire would be a great choice. Ichiraku Ramen is super delicious!"

After Naruto finished slurping his dinner, he couldn't help but speak up.

Ah, speaking of Ichiraku Ramen.

He doesn't seem to have eaten enough.

Naruto's stomach rumbled, clearly indicating that a bowl of hot soup was not enough to fill him up.

The rations he carried with him had long since rolled away after he fell off the cliff.

Hearing the sound Naruto made, Tenyu turned around and glanced at him.

Chapter 211 Obtaining Intelligence

"Hehe, I'm so hungry."

Naruto scratched his head and said sheepishly.

He clearly realized that his actions just now were somewhat impolite.

"It's okay, have this."

Tenyu casually took out a few rice balls from his spatial storage and handed them to Naruto.

These were all made for him by Tenten and Hinata and placed in their spatial dimension. Time is frozen in that dimension, so the rice balls are still warm.

"Ah, thank you, Brother Tianyu!"

Naruto looked at the rice ball, his eyes crinkling into a smile, then took the rice ball and began to wolf it down.

It seems they must be really hungry.

That makes sense, though. Kids Naruto's age are growing, so they can eat a lot.

"Don't be shy, have some soup."

Uncle He Yan smiled and gave Naruto another bowl of soup.

"Where is your old village now? Can you find it on a map?"

Tianyu asked with a smile.

He knew from his memory that the Garrel mine was hidden underground in their country.

Although the area has now fractured into a canyon, the underground city should still exist.

"It's not far from here, about a hundred kilometers to the north. That area is now covered by forests, and there's a river below. The canyon is so bad that ordinary people can't go down there at all. I once led a caravan through there, intending to visit our old home to pay our respects, but the swift current made us give up."

Uncle He Yan, without any suspicion, told Tian Yu all the news.

"I see, thank you!"

Tianyu smiled.

"Ah, it's nothing. You helped us find the animal, and we should be thanking you. After all, Ergus is the only thing left by our royal family. If it were to disappear, it would be a heavy blow to us."

Uncle He Yan smiled wryly.

Their former kingdom has vanished, leaving them as wanderers, their once prosperous lives gone forever.

Now they can only reminisce about the kingdom's former glory through Ergus.

"It's nothing. Since you've submitted a request to Konoha, this is what we should do. It's getting late, so we'll stay here tonight and head back tomorrow. Thank you for your hospitality."

After finishing his soup, Tianyu smiled and thanked Uncle Heyan.

"It's nothing. The tents and awnings are all ready. Let's get ready to rest."

Uncle He Yan left the tent as he spoke.

After Uncle He Yan left, Nara Shikamaru looked at Tenyu.

He hesitated, unsure whether he should say what he was about to say.

But he was a little uneasy if he didn't tell her.

"Ask me anything you want!"

Tengo noticed Shikamaru's hesitation and took the initiative to ask him.

After all, he was the one who dragged Shikamaru and Naruto into this mess.

Besides, Naruto and Shikamaru are both ninjas from Konoha, so we must tell them about the Garel Stone mine.

"Lord Tianyu seems very interested in Uncle Heyan's original country, and keeps asking about its address. I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always feel that Lord Tianyu is very persistent about that place. Is something going to happen there?"

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru immediately voiced the question that had been bothering him.

Tengo looked at Shikamaru.

Raised eyebrows.

Well, it seems the Nara clan of Konoha's innate high intelligence is indeed not a lie.

His actions were still noticed.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, go and guard the tent. I don't want our conversation to be overheard by others."

The Emperor gave his orders.

Kisame Hoshigaki quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, then walked out of the tent and stood guard outside.

With Kisame Hoshigaki around, unless the person who comes is stronger than a Kage, it is absolutely impossible to hide from Kisame's detection.

After everyone left, Tengo looked at Shikamaru.

“That’s right. I am indeed very interested in their country because there is a mine of Garel Stone hidden beneath their land, and that mine is very important to the development of Konoha.”

"The Garel Stone vein? That brat seemed to have mentioned it when he was fighting me. They seem to be looking for that vein too. Brother Tianyu, what exactly is the purpose of that Garel Stone?"

Naruto overheard Tengo and Shikamaru's conversation and curiously came over to ask them questions.

He was talking while biting into the rice ball in his mouth.

"I must say, this rice ball is really delicious. Hmm, it's much better than Mom's. Speaking of cooking, Dad's skills are definitely superior!"

Naruto didn't hesitate to criticize.

Clearly, even with the filter of his biological mother, Naruto still has some lingering trauma regarding Kushina's rice balls.

Shikamaru also wanted to know this.

So he sat upright in the seat below Tianyu.

This position signifies submission.

The Nara clan is able to maintain its current status in Konoha.

All of this was given to me by Tianyu.

Therefore, the entire Nara clan is very grateful to Tengo.

After all, although Tenyu is no longer the Hokage of Konoha, his every word and action can influence Konoha's actions.
