This Naruto is a player

Let's look back at Konoha.

Hmm.

Sales of Xiaoyao Pills seem to have remained largely unchanged compared to other countries, showing a steady upward trend.

The main reason for this "rise" is that more people have found this path of purchasing on behalf of others, and most of them are now doing it.

As for other aspects?

Aside from the fact that other ninja villages were busy preparing for war, resulting in fewer missions and thus an increase in the number of missions for Konoha, there seems to be no other reason!

Konoha didn't react at all.

For a moment, Naruto had no idea what Tsunade, as Hokage, intended to do or which side she would stand on in the upcoming war.

"never mind."

Naruto sighed and continued reading.

There's nothing more below.

Over at Kirigakure in the Land of Water?

An orphan, playing by himself.

"The prison is big."

As soon as Naruto opened his eyes, Uzumaki Inuyasha immediately stepped forward, his big eyes blinking brightly. "There's some news that just arrived."

"What?" Naruto gave him a disgruntled look.

"It's over there in the Taklamakan Desert."

"The Taklamakan Desert?" Naruto interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

Naruto was confused. Had he transmigrated again? Where did this name come from?

"Um..." Gou Dan stammered, trying to explain.

It turns out that the desert area full of underground oil that Sunagakure Village received as compensation was named the Taklamakan Desert.

Naruto nodded to indicate he understood. "Oh, what's wrong?"

"The expedition team discovered a city over there."

"City?"

Naruto was speechless.

He had seen the dilapidated place of Sunagakure before. How could a city be considered a city when it was so run-down?

"Yes, the expedition team heard from the local indigenous people that the city's name is Loulan." Gou Dan gave a brief introduction to Loulan.

Loulan?

Naruto is very familiar with this name, but this name is really too easy to embellish in Naruto.

Forgot what came before, forgot what came after, and forgot what happened in between.

Never mind! In short, she's an excellent sewer.

"Send two small teams over there to keep an eye on things. We're not planning to mine it yet, but we shouldn't let our oil be damaged. It's perfect that the protection team is staying in that run-down city."

Seeing that the mission was accomplished, Naruto prepared to leave, giving these instructions before departing.

"Oh, right."

Naruto glanced back at Dog Egg, who was about to slip out the door, and said, "From now on, you will report information to Uzumaki Sunbaek every day. He will be in charge of intelligence in the ninja world from now on."

"Yes!"

swoosh~

Naruto instantly vanished using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

at the same time.

In the Land of Waves, on the side of the clone Minazuki Tetsuju, the expected situation has changed slightly.

Chapter 214 I've never seen this kind of fighting style before!

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

I don't know if the Land of Fire is very fiery, but the Land of Water is definitely very watery.

The Land of Water is an island nation consisting of a super-large island and surrounding archipelagos, located in the center of the ocean. It receives a lot of rainfall, which often causes the entire country to be shrouded in moisture.

It is foreseeable that the people of the Water Country generally have good skin.

The Minazuki clan, a specialty of Kirigakure, is a prime example.

This family not only has good skin, but also generally high looks. Even the men in this family look like cross-dressers, and they are more feminine than women. I wonder if this is the reason why the birth rate in Kirigakure is declining.

This directly led to the extermination of the Minazuki clan.

Regarding this point, the higher-ups of Kirigakure have been evasive and unable to provide any explanation.

After all, who among the higher-ups knows what those lunatics were thinking back then?

So many families were wiped out in those years that they could easily find a reason to exterminate the Minazuki clan.

Do you know why?

In a corner of the misty Hidden Mist Village, a tall, young ninja holding the "Land of Water Observation Report" asked a question to the slightly older, shorter, stocky ninja next to him.

The above content is all from this issue of the "Land of Water Observation News," explaining to the Land of Water and Kirigakure a decades-old, sealed-away past, the truth behind the extermination of the Mizuki clan.

The older ninja glanced at him, a flash of memory in his eyes.

He had just graduated from the Ninja Academy at that time, and there was a lot of talk about fighting and killing everywhere. He had no idea what the reason was.

However, according to the elders at the time, it seems that there was more to it than just that.

The older ninja had his doubts, but due to the authority of the "Water Country Observation News," he ultimately only gave a vague answer: "I'm not quite sure either."

The young ninja exclaimed, "Look, this is the original sin of our village!"

"original sin?"

"Yes, original sin!"

The young ninja's eyes gleamed. "The powerful Mizuki clan, with their Ice Release bloodline limit and unwavering loyalty to the village, were wiped out by our Kirigakure. Isn't this Kirigakure's original sin?"

"Is that so?" the older ninja muttered to himself.

He is older and has experienced a lot, including war, so he is not as easily misled as the young people in front of him.

This newspaper actually claims to have some kind of 'original sin'?

The older ninja felt increasingly uneasy. He was indignant; what crime had he committed?

However, out of respect for the newspaper's authority, he dared not refute it for the time being.

I wanted to learn about that era, but almost all the older generation in the village had died out.

Not to mention the older generation, there aren't many ninjas left at his age.

He felt something was wrong, and that was all he could do; he couldn't find a reason to refute it, and it seemed there was nothing he could do.

At that moment, the young ninja was still reading the newspaper.

Upon seeing the photograph in the newspaper, and seeing the assistant of the great 'Hero of the Mist' Zabuza—Mr. Mizuki Haku, his eyes widened.

"This appearance... sir? Indeed, the newspaper is right, the Minazuki clan is indeed a treasure of our Kirigakure."

"This great 'Mr. White' is also a great figure like Lord Zabuza, who cared deeply for Kirigakure, worked tirelessly for Kirigakure for many years, and dedicated his life to it!"

The older ninja glanced at the newspaper, listened to the younger ninja's mutterings, and wanted to say something in response.

He was Zabuza's senior. Although I don't know much about Zabuza, Zabuza's reputation doesn't seem to be as good as the newspapers say!

At least! This isn't the case when the fog is concealed.

can.

Based on the reports in the newspapers over the past few months, it seems that even after leaving Kirigakure, that person continued to dedicate his life to Kirigakure!

'Is that guy really that great?' the older ninja muttered.

With his sharp eyes, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure approaching and reached out to pat the young ninja as if to warn him.

However, the young ninja was engrossed in reading the newspaper. "Don't disturb me, I'm almost done reading. Next, I'll read 'Zabuza's Struggle,' which is the part I always save for last every day!"

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, the young ninja heard a serious and slightly angry voice ring out in his ear.

That voice sounds familiar!

He looked up and his eyes met those of the man.

The young ninja, known as "Master Qing," was startled and hid the newspaper behind his back.

Qing glanced at the newspaper he had hidden with his one eye. "Take it out."

"that."

The young ninja wanted to explain, but under Ao's compelling gaze, he handed over the newspaper.

"Hmph! Don't get distracted while on duty!"

As a warning, Qing glanced at the newspaper, put it behind his back, and then let the two go and left.

"I told you not to look at this while you're working!" the older ninja complained.

"Whoo~~~"

The young ninja didn't take it to heart, only expressing great regret, "I haven't seen today's 'Zabuza-sama's struggle' yet!"

at the same time.

As Qing walked away, her brows furrowed even deeper as she recalled what she had inadvertently glimpsed earlier.

In recent months, he has often heard people in various parts of the village discussing things like "Zabuza's struggle history" and Zabuza's dedication to Kirigakure, as well as slogans like "Lord Zabuza is truly great".

Qing isn't particularly politically sensitive, but she could still sense that something was amiss.
