Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Although this number does not equal strength, it can be almost concluded that even if there is still a difference in strength between the two, they are not far apart!

After evaluation by the relevant departments of the Ninja Kingdom, they were given a new ninja rating.

—Second class of the Earth element!

This rating seems a bit unfair to them, because their strength is at the first level of the Earth rank, which is the level of the former Super Shadow level. However, they are too young and lack experience, so they are temporarily rated as the second level of the Earth rank.

Yu's gaze swept over Naruto and Sasuke, and he declared in a loud voice, "Naruto Uzumaki!"

Naruto replied respectfully, "Yes!"

Yu said, "From this day forward, you shall inherit the title of Duke of Ghost Shadow of the Ninja Kingdom and assume the position of Lord of Ghost Shadow City, a first-class city!"

Naruto had already received the news and was mentally prepared, but at this moment, receiving the title still made him feel uneasy and deeply responsible: "I will definitely work hard to live up to the expectations of the ninjas and people in the city, and live up to the trust of the Shadow... Feather Emperor!"

Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I look forward to your performance!"

Yu glanced to the side: "Uchiha Sasuke!"

Sasuke responded, "Yes!"

Yu said, "You will inherit the title of Duke of Phantom in the Ninja Kingdom and assume the position of Lord of Phantom City, a first-class city in the Ninja Kingdom!"

Sasuke asked, "After becoming the lord of the castle, will I have the power of life and death over everything?"

Yu said, “You are still too young... This enfeoffment is mainly for training, so I have set up the position of supervisor, which will be filled by experienced people. They will assist you in handling affairs. On some major decisions involving people’s livelihood, you need to listen to their opinions, after all, this is related to the interests of hundreds of thousands of people, and we cannot be careless.”

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is. That's great. I was just worried that I was too young and might do something wrong that would hinder everyone's happiness..."

Sasuke frowned: "Who's the supervisor? Is he a ninja?"

Yu said, "Not a ninja."

Sasuke said, "Then what qualifications does he have to give me advice?"

Yu's gaze fell upon the entrance to the hall: "You two, please come in..."

Two steady figures walked over and stopped behind Naruto and Sasuke respectively.

Yu, resting his chin on one arm, said, "Let me introduce you. Naruto, the man behind you is the former Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Akechi Mitsuyoshi!"

Naruto was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth: "Fire, fire... the Daimyo of the Land of Fire? A powerful figure even more powerful than the Hokage!"

Behind Naruto, the gentle and humble Akechi smiled politely and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Naruto-kun. I'm no longer a daimyo; I'm just an ordinary person serving the Ninja Kingdom."

Madara crossed his arms and legs, saying, "What on earth is going on? Wasn't the Land of Fire destroyed by Nagato? How did that daimyo survive...?"

Yu said, "On that day, Nagato came with overwhelming force, and the Land of Fire was destroyed. No one could stop him. But just as Nagato finished his cleanup, I used Kamui to go to the daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire and used the Omota Stream to turn back time, saving the newly appointed daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Oda Shogun..."

Madara Uchiha said, "I see. You're still as shrewd as ever... And who is this imposing fellow behind Sasuke? Could he also be some fallen king?"

Sasuke frowned, glancing at Madara out of the corner of his eye, thinking: He knows me? He also has the Sharingan… Among the Uchiha, besides the Shadow, Yuki, and me, are there any other survivors? Could he be another outsider who was granted the Sharingan by the Shadow…?

Yu said, "Behind Sasuke is the former daimyo of the Land of Lightning, 'Takeda Nobuo'! When the Land of Lightning was in dire straits, he listened to my advice and mobilized the entire nation's army to send tens of millions of people to our Ninja Country. This preserved our foundation and injected fresh blood into us. Therefore, he cannot be called a ruler who lost his country, but rather a responsible and wise ruler..."

Takeda Nobuo was flexible and had long since let go of his former arrogance. Knowing that he could never go back to the way things were, and hearing Yu support him, he hurriedly said with trepidation, "I am ashamed... I am ashamed."

Yu gazed at Sasuke and said, "Sasuke... I wonder if the former daimyo is qualified to assist you?"

Sasuke thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand..."

Yu laughed and said, "Very well, I will immediately have carriages and horses prepared... to send you to your respective fiefdoms! I think the people and ninjas of the two major cities should already be lined up to welcome you!"

Chapter 572 A Feast in the Present World, Holding Hands!

At the entrance of the Golden Palace, in front of the carriage, Kushina held Naruto's little hand and instructed him, "Naruto, although I'm not very good at it, you must work hard in your official duties. No one is born knowing how to run, so you must respect those experienced seniors!"

Naruto nodded: "Mm!"

"Even after you become the city lord, don't forget that you are a ninja. Be careful about the three prohibitions for ninjas, especially money! After you become the city lord, you won't need to go out on missions anymore. You will receive a salary from the Ninja Kingdom, which comes from the hard work of the common people! Therefore, you must be careful in managing your wealth and set a good example!"

"Okay, Mom!"

"Of course, don't suffer while you're out there; you can treat yourself to better food, drink, and other necessities..."

"Uh-huh!"

"And another thing, being in a high position means you'll inevitably have to attend banquets and social events, but you're only 13 years old now, you can't drink alcohol! You have to wait until you're 20 to drink alcohol, excessive drinking is harmful to your health!"

"Hmm... I understand!" Naruto said, but he figured there would be people rushing to shield him from the bar.

Kushina added, "I also want to remind the adults you work with not to drink excessively. They need to stay clear-headed in their positions..."

Shuimen Chong showed the sedan chair carriers an apologetic expression, but they smiled and said it was alright.

Kushina said worriedly, "The key issue among the three forbidden things is women. Mom is a woman and doesn't quite understand. Anyway, there are only men and women in this world. Although you may be interested in women, remember not to be bewitched by strange women and go looking for women like Mom!"

Naruto nodded: "Yeah!!"

"And, and..." Kushina racked her brains trying to think.

At this moment, Minato interrupted, "Naruto, your mother has already said most of what I wanted to say, but there's one thing your father, who was once Hokage, wants to tell you: wherever there are people, there will be conflict! Not to mention a city with millions of inhabitants. You will face many problems that even powerful ninjutsu cannot solve, and you will also face many bad temptations. No matter what, never forget to stay true to yourself, be worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of justice, and worthy of the hearts of the people!"

"Yes...I will, Dad!"

Naruto spoke solemnly and pulled back the sedan curtain.

Kushina said, "Oh right, I remember now..."

Naruto stamped his foot.

"Come home often, Naruto!"

"I will..."

Naruto boarded the carriage, and the porters began to move.

The sedan curtain in the distance fell, and Zuo Zhuan quietly clenched his fist: "I... I'm not envious at all!"

Two carriages departed from outside the Golden Palace, passed through the main road of the city, and headed towards the city gate. People who had heard the news gathered on both sides of the road to watch. Among them were ninjas and commoners, but those qualified to stay in this Feather Emperor City must be ninjas of high status or commoners with special skills.

"Those must be the two youngest dukes since the founding of the Ninja Kingdom!"

"No, I remember the previous Phantom Duke was even younger when he took the throne..."

"It's strange, but the first Phantom and Ghost Dukes never revealed their real names, and no one ever saw their true faces. They stepped down from their dukedoms in less than a day..."

"I remember that the titles of nobility in our Ninja Kingdom are granted according to strength and contribution, right? These two thirteen-year-old children, even if they have strength, what about their contributions?"

"You're quite ignorant about that. Naruto Uzumaki had an outstanding performance in the last Ninja War, as witnessed by everyone in the Third Squad!"

"Uh... I'm from the reconnaissance unit, so I don't know much about the Third Division! Naruto Uzumaki... is that the little guy who controls the Nine-Tails and fights alongside our Snow Princess?!"

"It's him!!"

"That's certainly true! But what about Uchiha Sasuke? He shares the same surname as the Feather Emperor, yet he's completely unknown, and we haven't heard of him achieving any great feats on the battlefield..."

"Oh, right! Do you remember? That incident in the Netherworld Valley a year ago!"

"Oh!! It's Uchiha Sasuke!!"

"It's that one, it's that one..."

Boom!

"Damn it!!" Sasuke slammed his fist against the palanquin wall upon hearing the murmurs. "I'll make you all shut up with my results!!"

In the crowd, Mitarashi Anko, with her hands in her coat pockets, stared intently at the passing carriages...

"Swoosh~~!" No one noticed that her eyes turned into the vertical pupils of a snake, and she stuck out her long tongue: "Naruto, Sasuke... my hope for a comeback, Kabuto, rests on the two of you, hehehe."

Half an hour later, the carriage left Yuhuang City and embarked on a different road heading north and south!

Naruto heads south, Sasuke heads north...

Highlands to the north.

Uchiha Itachi gazed at the passing carriages below and murmured, "Sasuke, even if I can't be by your side, I will witness your growth. The glory of the Uchiha and the expectations of Father and Mother are now entrusted to you!"

Whoosh! Itachi disappeared from the spot.

The sedan curtain was pulled back, and Sasuke stared at it suspiciously for a long time before muttering, "It looked like there was someone standing there just now, was it just my imagination..."

Inside the Golden Palace of the Feathered Emperor City.

The Minato couple went back to take care of their children.

Yu Guan came to the door and shared with the four people everything he had just learned about the Otsutsuki clan.

Then came a long silence... They knew the Otsutsuki were strong, but they never imagined they would be this strong.

Combat power can no longer be measured by differences in strength, but by dimensions!

Madara was the first to get the gist of it: "Didn't you get another Ten-Tails? Hurry up and nurture the fruit of the Divine Tree!"

Hashirama, however, said, "That won't do! The Divine Tree will plunder the life force of the earth! If we plant the Divine Tree on Earth, many people will lose their lives!"

Madara said, "That's better than sitting here and waiting to die!"

Tobirama said, "Brother... Madara is right about this."

Hashirama: "Tobirama, you..."

Mito: "Stop talking... Let's hear what Koyu has to say."

Lin Yu said, "The divine tree must be planted, but not on this land..."

"Oh?" Everyone was surprised. "Where do you plan to plant it?"

Yu gazed intently into the distance with deep eyes: "The Twin Moon Space that my daughter visited before is home to a large number of moon beasts, which must possess astonishing chakra enough to nurture the Divine Tree. More importantly, the flow of time there is ten times faster than outside. While nurturing the Divine Tree takes a thousand years, in the Twin Moon Space, a hundred years is enough!"

"So, you had already thought this through..."

Yu said, "But... a hundred years is still too long for the current situation, so we need a technique! A technique that can accelerate the absorption efficiency of the divine tree!"

At that moment, Hashirama, Madara, and Mito all looked at Tobirama simultaneously...

Chapter 573 The Feast of the Present World, The Supreme Ruler!

Seeing the three of them looking at him, Tobirama said speechlessly, "Hey, why are you all looking at me like that?"

Hashirama placed his hand on Tobirama's left shoulder: "Speaking of jutsu, I think of you. Tobirama, you're practically the embodiment of a jutsu god!"

Mito placed her hand on Tobirama's right shoulder: "Tobirama, your sister-in-law thinks your influence in the ninja world is even more profound than that of the Great Pillar!"
