The Palace of the Yellow-haired Ninja

"Shui Lian, everyone in the entire Uzushio Village knows who has paid the most. But since Master Jiupin has no intention of competing for the position of Uzukage for the sake of the overall situation, we cannot let down that master's righteousness and take the initiative to provoke internal strife in the face of a powerful enemy."

"The only thing we can do now is to let you stay with the new Uzukage. This doesn't mean you have to be an undercover agent. Internal strife will definitely not benefit our Uzushio Village."

"So we want you to assist him to the best of your ability. Our new Uzumaki is a very ambitious man, but he and his subordinates are indeed capable. Having ambition and ability is actually a good thing."

"Our Whirlpool Country does need a strong leader to rise. What we are afraid of is that he is young and impetuous and will run the country recklessly. Shui Lian, for the sake of Whirlpool Country, you must try your best to guide him in the right direction."

"We must not let the great efforts and sacrifices made by Lord Kyuubi and Lady Karin for the Whirlpool Country go to waste. Our Uzumaki is also a beauty-loving person, and we can take advantage of this. If...if possible, I hope you can put the interests of the Whirlpool Country first..."

I recalled in my mind what the old man said to me that night. Although he didn't finish his words, how could I not understand the meaning of them?

Shui Lian had never hated her own cleverness so much. If only she wasn't so clever, and had a bad temper like her brother, she would be able to love and hate and dare to love and hate! She wouldn't need to care about the overall situation! She wouldn't need to know how to compromise!

After completing the coronation ceremony, Naruto was walking on the way back to the newly built Uzumaki office. The secretary girl who followed him silently always made him feel frightened, as if she would draw a knife and stab him from the back at any time.

"Mister Naruto, can you take a look at the favorability of the sister behind me towards me? Why do I always feel that she is ready to identify the traitors and eliminate the evil at any time?" Finally, Naruto couldn't help but ask for help from his sister from another dimension.

"Negative eighty. Sister advises stupid Naruto to choose a good grave for himself first. Hahaha." Naruto laughed heartily.

Naruto's face fell instantly, "Mother, elder sister, please come and save your lovely son and brother. Why let her be my secretary!"

"Meow, there's nothing I can do! You seized the throne by force. People in Uzushio Village are not convinced by you, so naturally they have to place a reliable thorn by your side. If you forcefully disagree, the village might collapse into a civil war. Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter..." Naruko continued to laugh heartlessly.

Kushina frowned, feeling helpless. It was all because of that big idiot Qinai.

......The dividing line of memories......

During that military meeting, Naruko announced that she had other things to do and would not participate in the war. Her younger brother Menma Uzumaki would replace her.

Early the next morning, Naruko said goodbye to everyone and teleported to the sea off the Uzumaki Islands, where she was going to meet up with China and the others and then bring Naruto with her.

Let Naruto bring China to officially enter the Land of Whirlpools as Uzumaki Menma.

"Naruto, my dear son, come here, let mommy hug you." Qinai, who had been waiting in the open sea for a long time, rushed over to Naruto as soon as he saw him, and hugged Naruto, who had just regained control of his body.

Turning his head away in embarrassment, Naruto didn't know what to do with this beautiful woman in front of him who seemed a little strange but enthusiastic.

Compared to the existence of Kinai, Naruto was much more accepting of people like Mizunotsuki Arashi and Garuru.

Being hugged tightly, Naruto blushed and whispered, "Auntie Qina, we should leave."

"Bang", Naruto was hit hard on the head, but Kinai didn't care and actually called him aunt. Kinai, who was full of tenderness and kindness just now, instantly revealed her cruel nature, "Call me mom! You little brat, who are you calling aunt? You dare not even recognize your mom!"

Naruto touched the big bump on his head with grievance. He was never a stubborn person. Faced with such intimidation, he immediately decided to follow the good advice and said, "Mom."

"Be good! Baby, let mommy kiss you..." The ferocious tigress instantly turned into a gentle and charming mother and bit Naruto's little face more than a dozen times.

"Mom, things are more important." Naruto begged for mercy with a bitter face, his face covered with saliva.

China reluctantly let go of Naruto. Her sparkling eyes scared Naruto so much that he quickly used the transformation technique. He had already practiced the transformation skillfully, and the blond boy Naruto appeared.

"Well, my baby will be handsome when he grows up." Qinai praised without hesitation!

"Silly little Naruto, how are you? Are you happy to have a mother who loves you so much? Do you want to thank your sister? Don't worry, there will be a surprise waiting for you later."

Mingzi gloated a little.

"Hey, Naruto-sister, what grudge do you have against me?" Naruto was very weak. Although having more jobs was a good thing, there were also more people to look after him. And recently, Kushina's mother was getting more and more upset.

"Hmph, you're still ungrateful after getting the advantage. You're such an unlovable little brother." Naruko righteously shirked the responsibility.

Naruto finally brought Kinai back to Uzushio Village. Kinai was now dressed as an Anbu. After all, her identity was too conspicuous and too similar to that of a Kyupin, so she had to hide it.

Karin had already brought people to meet them at the gate. Seeing them from a distance, she immediately waved her hand happily and said, "Your Highness Menma, welcome."

Naruto and his companions were very fast and had reached the gate in a few breaths. Naruto also replied happily: "Karin, long time no see."

"Well, I haven't seen Your Highness Menma for a long time. It seems like you have grown up all of a sudden. You are taller than me now." Karin teased Naruto's transformation technique. Others may not know the true nature of this handsome boy in front of them, but she knows it. She couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Karin, are you ready for the coronation ceremony?" Standing behind Naruto, wearing a fox mask, Qina interrupted Karin's teasing of Naruto. Humph, you can only bully your own son.

"Hey, hey, sister Kinai, what coronation ceremony? Is there such an arrangement? How come I didn't know about it?" Although the other party was wearing the clothes of the Anbu, Karin's chakra perception was not fake. It's just that Kinai's sudden question made Karin pause. Everyone was preparing for a war, and she had never heard of such an arrangement.

Listening to the conversation between the two, the Uzumaki Sannin who was following behind Karin felt a tightness in his heart, and a bad thought came to his mind, as if the other party had come with bad intentions.

"Of course it is the grand ceremony where His Ma-dono ascends the throne to become the Daimyo and Kage of the Whirlpool Country." Qinai said as a matter of course. Since his son has returned to the Whirlpool Country, what is he waiting for?

"Huh? Menma wants to be the daimyo and the Uzumaki?" Karin was surprised. When did Naruto, the brat who only knew how to hang out with Miss Hinata, become so aware and responsible? Is this still the Naruto she knew?

As expected, the other party started to attack! And he wanted both the positions of Daimyo and Uzumaki at the same time. The speed of the power grab was alarming for the Uzumaki Sannin, who regretted not forcibly bringing the lazy Kushige and Kushina.

The three ninjas thought that the two were as close to Lord Kyupin as sisters, and if the two Super Shadows were present, they would never let the other party seize power so blatantly.

Damn it! I miscalculated!

"Sorry! Are you Lord Qinai? We have never heard of such a thing, and I personally think that the position of Uzumaki should belong to Lord Jiupin!" The hot-tempered Uzumaki Mokuzhe stood up directly.

What greeted him was Qinai's unreasonable fist.

62. Kill him in the first battle without leaving a single piece of armor

So, after the "Uzushiomon Incident", the "ambitious man" Uzumaki Menma successfully seized power in the Uzushio Country.

Although he later noticed the strange emotions of his subordinates, Uzumaki Kyupin immediately publicly stated that he was truly sincere in handing over the power of the Uzumaki Kingdom to His Highness Menma.

However, how could the Uzumaki ninjas who had witnessed the "coup" believe it? They were just deeply moved by the Lord's righteousness, and at the same time, they felt even more disgusted with the traitor. ...

Pushing the door open and walking into the office, Naruto said to the people sitting on the sofa: "I have followed Sister Milia's arrangement and announced the news of the three-day celebration of the Whirlpool Country..."

"Menma-sama!"

Without waiting for Naruto to finish his words, Qinai, who was sitting on the sofa, produced dozens of chakra chains from his hands, which rolled and retracted, pulling Naruto into his arms.

Naruto had no sense of being "sixteen years old" at all. He chose a comfortable position and nestled in China's arms without any shame.

The Uzumaki Water Lotus following behind was dumbfounded. Shameless! Too shameless! Broadcasting in broad daylight, killing the husband and wife!

Uzumaki Jiupin suppressed his laughter and turned away. These two people really had no self-awareness.

Uzumaki Kitsune, who was wrapped up like a mummy, was both angry and a little bitter. Although he was beaten up by Kinai at the gate of Uzushio Village because he insisted on his own opinion and opposed Naruto becoming the Uzukage, that was because he was not as skilled as the other person and he was not someone who could not afford to lose.

He did not have any hatred towards Qinai. Instead, he developed a vague liking for this mysterious and powerful woman.

Uh, could it be that the hidden M factor has awakened?

Now facing this scene, two people openly tuning their zithers in broad daylight and in public, Muzhe's young love buds that had just emerged from the earth were uprooted by the whirlwind.

Old man Chongxing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he comforted himself silently in his heart. It doesn't matter if young people are unrestrained and greedy. As long as they have the ability, there is still hope, there is still hope.

In the corner, Kushige and Kushina gathered together and whispered.

"Hey, Kushina. Will we really become that stupid when we grow up?"

"Yeah, it's probably because all the nutrients went to the chest, and the brain is seriously undersupplied."

"Then should we grow up or not?" Adding brain or subtracting brain, this is the question, lamenting in both voices, the two girls were confused about their future.

"Mother, why don't you go and persuade Auntie Qina? If this goes on, it will be difficult to establish the glorious image of the great hero Menma." Naruko encouraged Kushina. She has always been a fan of watching the fun.

Kushina rolled her eyes, ignored her daughter, turned around, and continued to sleep on her stomach. You know your own business. If you don't have a middle school mentality, you won't be young. If you don't have rebellion, you won't have youth.

What's more, it's the rebellious period of Chili Pepper. If I dare to go and lecture Qinai now, he will immediately turn his fake love into real love and develop a love story beyond human nature.

"Then, the spies from the Water Country should have sent out the message, right?" Milia didn't care at all. She only cared about what she should care about.

"Well, those ordinary human discs have already sent pigeons to the Land of Water." Karin confirmed. With her there, any ninja who wanted to sneak into the Uzushio Village would be wishful thinking. After losing a large number of elite reconnaissance ninjas, they probably realized that the other side had a special way to identify ninjas. The Land of Water changed its method and sent a large number of ordinary spies.

Although this avoided Karin's detection, it could not escape Shuilian's eyes. Most of the spies were caught, and only a few escaped. Now it's time for them to play a role.

"So what should we do next, Sister Milia?" Naruto enjoyed Qinai's head patting. Hey, don't you think it's not eye-catching for a 16 or 17-year-old girl to hug a 16 or 17-year-old boy and pat his head?

"When the intelligence was sent, the war had already begun. Although the main force of the Water Country is still three days away from the Whirlpool Country, speed is of the essence. If the enemy commander is not stupid or arrogant, he will definitely mobilize his elite troops to form a surprise attack team, and they will be able to attack the Whirlpool Country tonight at the earliest. This time we must use all our strength to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and make sure to annihilate them completely."

Milia said seriously.

"Lady Milia, since we have already decided on the strategy of abandoning the Whirlpool Kingdom at the previous military meeting, why do we have to fight the opponent's elite surprise attack team to the death again?" Shui Lian is very good at domestic affairs, but she doesn't know much about military affairs, mainly because she has no experience. Now that she has the important task of guiding the Whirlpool Shadow, she naturally wants to develop her abilities in all aspects.

"It's not a fight to the death, it's an ambush. Under normal circumstances, the troops that are ambushed will panic and their morale will drop drastically, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced by about half. In addition, if they are ambushed after a long journey and are exhausted, no matter how elite they are, they can only exert a maximum of 1/3 of their strength."

"And if it's a surprise attack, the number of people won't be that large. I estimate that the maximum number will not exceed one thousand. If I were to command the surprise attack team, I would at least divide it into three teams: one for assault, two for support, and three for backup."

"If that's the case, then it's very troublesome. At least his backup team has a high chance of successfully leaving the battlefield. So I hope the opponent's surprise attack commander is a brainless pig who rushes in with a wave of attacks. That's the easiest to deal with."

After a pause, Milia continued: "We must fight this war because of considerations of morale, public opinion, and international influence."

"As for morale, although abandoning the Whirlpool Country was planned, it was a bad start and it lost our army's fighting spirit. On the contrary, if the enemy army captured the Whirlpool Country without bloodshed, their morale would definitely be greatly boosted and their confidence would soar."

"In this way, even if we fight all over the hinterland of the Water Country, the enemy will see us as the last gasp of a stray dog. Their tolerance for losses and their confidence in annihilating us will remain high for a long time."

"In terms of public opinion, our abandonment of the Whirlpool Country was ultimately a helpless move due to our shallow foundation. It was absolutely correct in terms of military. But have you ever considered the public's opinion? In the public's view, if we can simply abandon the Whirlpool Country once, will there be a second and third time? Will their homes be destroyed and rebuilt again and again? If the public is in panic and the rulers cannot gain the public's trust, the country will be nothing more than a rootless drift, a fish out of water."

"So in order to stabilize the people's hearts, this battle must be fought, and it must be won beautifully. Shui Lian, didn't you say there are 1200 people's self-defense forces? Let them get ready as well. We don't want them to join the battle directly, but after we have ambushed the enemy and made sure that the enemy has no ability to fight back, we will let the self-defense forces charge into the battlefield. This will boost people's morale, and secondly, the best and strongest people who have been on the battlefield can be incorporated into the future official army."

"I understand, Lady Milia, I will arrange the self-defense forces." Shui Lian stood in awe. As expected of the commander who was known as the No. 1 commander in the regiment, he was very thoughtful.

"Well, finally, let's talk about the international influence. From what I know about the ninja world, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak and martial arts are the foundation. In such a world situation, the Whirlpool Country must seize every opportunity to obtain as many military merits as possible. This is the foundation of the country!" Milia ended her speech in a sonorous and powerful tone.

There was a burst of applause in the conference room. For the people in the Whirlpool whose average IQ was less than 60 (Shui Lian, your IQ has been averaged out by your teammates), these words were undoubtedly shocking.

......The dividing line of Konoha......

With a cold face, Kurenai Yuhi walked towards Naruto's house. Today she must settle the score with that brat during the mission.

As soon as they saw Naruto's house, they saw a girl kicking and banging on the poor wooden door.

"Naruto, you little brat, get out here and stop playing dumb with me. I know you're at home!"

Isn’t that the daughter of Ichiraku Ramen?

When Xihi Kurenai reacted, her body had actually hidden itself, as if she was about to do something shameful and was afraid of being caught by someone she knew.

Xi Rihong's face flushed red, and she secretly scolded herself for being so confused, but she didn't come forward again, just secretly observed from the side.

Inside Naruto's room, five Narutos were huddled together and fighting. These guys were Naruto's clones left in Konoha. There were seven in total, named Naruto One, Naruto Two, Naruto Three, Naruto Four, Naruto Five, Naruto Six, and Naruto Seven.

Among them, Naruto is Hinata's personal bodyguard, Naruto was taken away by Yakumo to warm the bed, and the remaining Narutos were kept at home for emergency use.

"Everyone, someone please go outside and take care of this. If this continues, our door won't hold up."

"Since you said so, then go ahead."

"Fuck, why should I go? Let's draw lots, whoever gets drawn goes."

"Okay, okay, let's draw lots and see who's afraid of whom!"

"How could it be me? You guys are cheating!"

"Damn it, this guy wants to shirk his debt, brothers, come on, beat him up!"

......

In the end, Ming Qi, who was beaten up, was pushed out of the door by everyone.

This pig-headed Naruto scared Acorus. Who beat him up? He was so cruel!

He was a little soft-hearted at first because of this miserable look, but then he thought of his own baby at home, and he became bolder and bolder. He grabbed Mingqi's ears and went to his home, "Naruto, you little bastard, come to my house and explain it to me, or I will skin you alive today!"

Why is Acorus so angry?

This has to be discussed later, so I will skip it for now.

Seeing Naruto being carried away, it must be that brat who harmed the girl, Kurenai thought to herself. I can't teach that brat a lesson today. The Hokage gave Kurenai a holiday, and the ostensible reason was that she had survived a near-death encounter with a powerful enemy, so she took a holiday to relax.

Who knows the secret reason, but Xi Ri Hong thinks it is not that simple.

Grinding her teeth, Hong was about to turn around and leave, but she saw Naruto's door open again. 1234, four furry, golden little heads popped out from the crack in the door, from bottom to top.

63. The surprise attack team that wiped out the Mist Ninja

In the dark night, Naruto and his companions were standing on a huge protruding rock on the coast, looking at the sea. The sound of the water splashing against the reefs was calm and peaceful, like a lullaby. However, they were destined not to sleep well tonight.

The water here is gentle, making it a good place for the army to land. ...

"Here they come! Just as Sister Milia predicted. I sensed 300 chakra reactions coming this way, very fast, expected to arrive within a quarter of an hour." Karin, who was searching with all her might, discovered the enemy. "I haven't found a second team behind them yet, I'll expand the scope of my investigation and see."

"Sui Lian, give the signal to everyone to get ready. You go first, I will stay here to lure the enemy. Everyone obey the orders of Sister Milia." Naruto gave the order decisively.

According to Milia's analysis, when the other party approaches the shore, they will definitely send out a reconnaissance team to search forward and find the way.

If we ambush the enemy's search team, it will certainly alert them. If the enemy wants to retreat in the sea, they can escape in all directions. If we don't gain anything, the battle will be meaningless.

So a bait was needed to prevent the other party from sending out a search team. Naruto volunteered to take on this job. After all, he needed to change his image and try to improve the ninjas' favorability towards him. Otherwise, he might be killed by his secretary one day.
