The plate armor landed, sinking deeply into the hard ground...

Long-distance running is a skill of ninjas, because missions often require them to traverse mountains and rivers. A thousand kilometers is almost no challenge for a Jonin-level ninja, but running with a load is a different story.

Yu weighed the plate armor in his hand: "The largest standard load-bearing plate armor usually weighs around 200 jin, but this must weigh at least 2,000 jin... How did you manage that?"

2000 jin, or 1 ton, is a weight that no flesh and blood body can bear!

Might Guy said, "The Weight-Increasing Technique of Iwagakure!"

Yu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

Needless to say, it wouldn't be surprising if it were 2 tons, 20 tons, or even 200 tons!

"What weight do you usually use?"

“我从200斤到2吨,用了整整10年!然后2吨到5吨,用了3年!最近,我准备挑战十吨!”

Yu put on the 2-ton weighted armor: "Then I'll start with 2 tons, running 1,000 kilometers with the weight, and then the next project. Let's begin!"

Yu Ruo could easily carry 20 tons with the power of an immortal... but this is training, not showing off!

Matt Kai exclaimed with boundless enthusiasm: "Great! Youth is about carrying burdens and forging ahead!!!"

Yu and Kai ran and jumped, occasionally performing a Thomas Flair somersault, becoming a beautiful sight under the scorching sun!

"Hey...hey, you with the thick eyebrows, got a companion?"

"Wait, isn't that Prince Kakashi, the Southern King of Konoha's vassal state?"

……

A corner of Feather Emperor City.

The cozy home of Itachi and Izumi has an extra person at the dinner table today... it's Sasuke.

When the Songstress of the Broken Army attacked, Naruto and Sasuke were urgently recalled to Yuhuang City.

Now that the alert has been lifted, the two are able to take a break from their busy schedules and go back to spend time with their families.

"Izumi-neechan's cooking is still the best..." Sasuke ate with great relish.

Izumi, her hair styled in a side ponytail that fell over her shoulder, looked on with gentle eyes: "Then why don't you stay a few more days? Let your older sister treat Sasuke to a good meal~"

"Next time. As the city lord, if I leave for too long, my subordinates will inevitably gossip... I'm not like Naruto, who can use clones to take his place."

With that, Sasuke drank the soup in one gulp.

Quan smiled and said, "Then I'll make a few more of your favorite dishes, so you can take them with you when you leave~"

Sasuke smiled and said, "Yeah, that's great..."

Itachi looked at Sasuke, who was behaving properly at the dinner table, and felt a sense of relief: Sasuke has really grown up now... I can finally rest assured.

Sasuke put down his soup bowl, wiped his mouth, and asked, "By the way, brother, do you know what? This morning I ran into a guy in the back mountain who looked a lot like me. I thought he was using the Transformation Technique to impersonate me, so I beat him up... but it turned out it wasn't the Transformation Technique. He said his name was Uchiha Izuna. Is there such a person in our Uchiha clan?"

Seeing Itachi's suddenly pale face, Sasuke hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's wrong... Why is your face so pale? Are you sweating? Are you feeling unwell?"

Thump thump thump...!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Itachi forced himself to remain calm and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Madara, open the door." Madara's deep voice came through.

Chapter 723 A Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, Seeking Good Fortune Through One's Own Efforts

creak.

The door opened, and facing Madara, Itachi politely asked, "Mr. Madara, is there anything I can help you with?"

Madara asked, "It's nothing, I just finished eating and took a walk. Has Sasuke returned?"

Itachi said calmly, "I just came back, but I went out right after eating."

Madara said, "Is that so? I was also thinking of introducing him to Izuna. They're both from the Uchiha clan, but they haven't officially met yet, have they?"

Itachi cautiously inquired, "Well... how about I go and bring Sasuke back?"

Madara turned around and said, "No need to trouble yourself. I'll take Izuna to his Phantom Castle next time."

Quan walked over: "Uncle Ban, why don't you stay for a meal?"

Ban glanced back with a meaningful look in his eyes: "I won't disturb your family of three."

The door closed.

"call……"

Itachi breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought Madara was coming to cause trouble for Sasuke because of Izuna. In the emergency, Sasuke had already jumped out of the window and escaped.

Itachi thought with relief, "It seems that Izuna-san didn't tattle, or rather, he hasn't met with Madara-san yet. Otherwise, given Madara's protectiveness towards his younger brother, this matter wouldn't be easy to resolve..."

Izumi said briefly, "Sasuke didn't mean any harm. He would definitely be suspicious if he saw someone who looked almost exactly like him. What if they were an enemy who was threatening the ninja kingdom?"

"Oh, right, Mr. Madara just said that there are three of us, but Sasuke isn't here..."

As Itachi savored this moment, he suddenly looked at Izumi.

A blush suddenly rose on Quan's fair and well-proportioned face, and her slender hand unconsciously went to her taut lower abdomen.

This expression made Itachi's eyes flash with unease: "Izumi...you."

With a mixture of shyness and a racing heart, Izumi shared the good news with Itachi: "I just found out too, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet... Itachi, we have our own little baby."

The Watergate family.

Tiger! Tiger! At the dinner table, Kushina brandished a frying pan, excitedly recounting her heroic deeds!

"You woman, what are you doing to another woman's husband?!"

"With a loud bang, Mom used an iron pot to smash that vixen away, rescuing your dad from her clutches!!"

"Haha..." Minato laughed awkwardly but elegantly from the side.

"Mom is truly amazing!"

Naruto praised her profusely, but inwardly he was terrified: Mom really is the most terrifying person in the world. Luckily, she didn't catch me doing anything wrong...

Kushina put down the iron pot, sat down, and rested her chin on her hand: "Speaking of Naruto... in terms of lifestyle habits, have you followed your mother's instructions?"

More than a year ago, on the day she took office at Ghost Castle, Kushina held Naruto's little hand and told him about the three forbidden things for ninjas.

It's nothing more than eating well, not drinking alcohol, saving money, and... not being seduced by women.

Naruto patted his chest and said, "Of course! Your son is the lord of a city, after all! He should set an example! Even when I came back this time, I left my shadow clones in the city!"

"Hmm?" Kushina said meaningfully, "As expected of my mother's son, he can use shadow clones so casually, it's no big deal!"

"Hehe...right!" Naruto felt a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it and lowered his head to eat his rice.

After finishing her meal, Kushina went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

Minato stared at Naruto's right eye... the Rinnegan.

Not long ago, Naruto and Sasuke received the Yin and Yang powers bestowed upon them by Yu.

Naruto learned the Six Paths Sage Mode, and his right eye's Mangekyou Sharingan awakened the Rinnegan. The reason for awakening the Rinnegan has been explained in detail above.

Sasuke, on the other hand, awakened the Rinnegan with six tomoe in both eyes.

Naruto and his companion have officially entered the top five in the Ninja Kingdom!

Minato's left eye also received a transplant of the Rinnegan from Momoshiki's forehead, causing his strength to increase by leaps and bounds. He was well aware of the powerful eye's pupil energy.

If Naruto and Sasuke hadn't stayed at Yuhuang Castle but had instead rushed to the main battlefield during the battle between the Ninja Kingdom and the Songstress of the Broken Army... the outcome might have been very different.

Minato said earnestly, "Naruto, you are so young, yet you possess unprecedented power. I am happy for you, but I am also worried about you..."

Naruto, knowing Minato's worries, said reassuringly, "Don't worry, Dad... Uncle Shadow actually talked to me a long time ago, and we made a promise together that no matter what, we will never forget our original intentions!"

Minato looked pleased, inwardly thinking: Obito... thank you. Under your influence, Naruto has grown into a ninja capable of shouldering great responsibilities. Compared to you, I, as his teacher, am truly ashamed of myself.

At this moment, Kushina served tea to the father and son... then turned and went back to the kitchen.

Naruto picked up the tea and sipped it slowly... Although he was only fourteen years old, he appeared very mature.

Minato suddenly said, "By the way, Naruto, your mom's clone just did a surprise inspection of the Demon Castle..."

"puff!!!"

Naruto spat out a mouthful of tea.

He almost forgot that his powerful chakra... was inherited from Kushina!

"Oh no... my little yellow book hidden under the bed!"

In Naruto's room at the Lord's Mansion in Ghost Shadow City.

Kushina's shadow clone found the complete "Icha Icha Series" under the bed!

"..." Her eyes lingered on the memory.

About a month ago, Izumi approached me, feeling embarrassed, saying that Itachi wasn't very proactive in that area and wanted to ask me for advice.

Little did anyone know, Itachi was also very confused, because he was a complete novice when it came to matters of love and sex.

Itachi even sought out Yu, and said with difficulty, "Master, Shisui said he couldn't teach me this either, so he asked me to come and ask you. Please tell me... what is the matter of the bedroom!"

At that moment, Yu sat in a chair in the study, his back to Itachi: "For something like this, you should ask the real expert, our great teacher Jiraiya..."

Itachi asked in surprise, "That legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, wasn't he already...?"

“He’s gone, but his influence is everywhere…” Yu said, getting up and taking “Icha Icha Paradise” from the bookshelf.

"This, this is 'Intimate Paradise,' a masterpiece that's said to have royalties enough to build a city!?"

"It's more than just a city; the value it conveys cannot be measured in money..."

"Wow, amazing!" Itachi exclaimed, overjoyed.

"Go back, close the door, and let Izumi and Izumi study this carefully."

In the room, Kushina hugged the book to her chest, reminiscing: "Speaking of which, when Minato and I first got married, we were both a bit reserved. Jiraiya-sensei took the unpublished first volume of 'Icha Icha' and gave us our introduction..."

"It's a pity... he's no longer here. He was a great ninja in every sense of the word."
