In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Will you come back after completing your mission?"

"Yes." He said firmly.

Fenghua Xiaoxue was relieved to see that he didn't hesitate, but she didn't know that this man never needed to draft a lie. She pursed her lips and said.

"Time is short, the manpower should be ready."

"Then I'll go." Naruto turned around and was about to jump out of the window, but then he changed his mind and stopped, then walked out slowly from the door.

The Snow Country is now a scene of spring with flowers blooming all year round. Several ninjas wearing chakra armor and advanced snow vehicles are parked in front of the palace.

Six years ago, he brought Fenghua Xiaoxue to seek revenge and killed the new king Fenghua Nutao.

However, the change of royal power did not seem to affect the development of technology in the Snow Country. On the contrary, after Fenghua Koyuki came to power, she turned on the floor heating and fully supported the development of technology according to Naruto's wishes.

Even though many people in the Snow Country have never seen Naruto, they have heard of his name and know that the prosperity of the Snow Country today is inseparable from that man.

After Naruto went out, he glanced at them. The leader was a young man who ran up to Naruto and said.

"My lord, everything is ready."

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Sir, my name is Hosokawa, a jonin from the Land of Snow." The young man said with respect, his head bowed. "The Queen has ordered us to follow your instructions, sir."

"Well, let's set off first and reach the edge of the Far North." Naruto ordered.

"Yes! Sir."

The team, including Naruto, consisted of ten people in total. A small amount of food and rescue tools were placed on the snowmobile. Following a command, they slowly headed towards the iceberg in the distance.

On the snowmobile, Naruto summoned the Scroll Toad and briefly told it that he had arrived in the Snow Country and was approaching them, asking it to convey the message.

The Far North was so vast that obtaining coordinates was nearly impossible. Even Jiraiya, with his immense magical powers, would have found it difficult to pinpoint his location, so being able to roughly determine the correct direction was a blessing.

The snow-capped mountains in the distance look like giant ice and snow beasts sitting on the ground under the sunlight, surrounded by golden tops. The snowmobiles are speeding, silently moving towards the kingdom of ice and snow.

The cold wind howled as Jiraiya summoned the Toad Scroll. He was stunned for a moment after hearing what it said. He blinked and looked at Neji and Rock Lee.

"Naruto is in the Land of Snow? Isn't he still trapped in the Land of Whirlpools?"

"I don't know about that. He told me that." Scroll Toad scratched his head and said confusedly, "Ask again when you meet. This place is freezing!"

"The Snow Country is very far away from the island of the Whirlpool Country, almost across it..." said Neji.

"Let's not worry about those things for now. Let's get out of this damn place first. There is not much food left." Jiraiya said, looking at the wind and snow outside.

"Let's find a rough location and meet up with them. I can't wait to have a drink."

Neji and Rock Lee both agreed that they had indeed had enough of this shabby place. They couldn't find a way out on their own, and even if they had ice fish to survive, it wouldn't be a long-term solution.

Bah, who wants to eat fishy fish!

The two groups of people used the Scroll Toad to pass messages non-stop, and they matched up with each other with difficulty but smoothly, which really made the Scroll Toad very tired.

The snowmobile team was repairing, and Hosokawa was checking his equipment when a jonin suddenly approached and bumped into him. Hosokawa looked up and saw a face with trembling eyebrows.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

"Why does Naruto-sama look so young? Even younger than us?" The jonin asked with a playful smile, lowering his voice, "How do you think he did it?"

"What did you do?" Hosokawa was puzzled, and he lowered his voice. "Don't talk about anything unrelated to the mission. If you want to die, don't drag me into it."

"Alright." The jonin left in disappointment.

Hosokawa frowned slightly. Although he didn't say anything, he knew what his teammate was asking. The transition of power in the Snow Kingdom had taken place six years ago, and six years ago... that man was just a teenager.

The king of the Snow Country was overthrown, and even every aspect including economy and technology could be seen with that person's investment. The idea they accepted was loyalty to the queen, loyalty to...Naruto technology.

While royal power is formidable, the ninja village is also constrained by military expenses. Such a large sum of money is definitely not something a queen returning from wandering can come up with.

Coupled with the various rumors about Fenghua Xiaoxue and that person, the people of the Snow Country only know Naruto as a rich man and a powerful ninja.

But it was not until today that the members of the search and rescue team discovered that the legendary Naruto was just a young man of the same age as them.

Naruto looked tall and big with blond hair, but he didn't seem to be a supernatural being. He didn't speak in a very pretentious manner, just like an ordinary person.

The more this is the case, the more confusing it becomes. All I know is that the young man in front of me does have a special relationship with the Queen, otherwise she wouldn't have sent a team of Jonin to search for him.

The convoy continued its journey. Naruto leaned against the snowmobile, listening to Hosokawa's talk about the development of technology in the Snow Country. Finally, at some point, someone shouted.

“There’s someone ahead!!”

"We found them! Over there! Go over there!"

"That's a canyon over there. We can't get through. We have to go around it!"

Hearing this, Naruto suddenly woke up and squinted his eyes to look around. As expected, he saw three figures in the distance, but because there was a cliff in front, he had to take a detour.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the convoy to reach the other side. Naruto immediately took out the onion spray he had prepared and smelled it, his eyes suddenly reddened.

As soon as they got off the car, Naruto was the first to stumble over, tugging at the three men's messy sleeves and sobbing.

"Finally found it, you guys have suffered so much!"

The Snow Country's senior ninja Hosokawa was watching from a distance with mixed emotions. He suddenly wanted to have a cigarette. This guy... is a complicated person.

Chapter 429: Only a little spark is needed to transform the ninja world

He clearly remembered that Naruto was sleeping soundly on the snowmobile half an hour ago, but when he got off the vehicle, his eyes were red and he even fell while running.

Silk~~~

This silky smooth performance made him gasp. He thought to himself that there was indeed a gap between people. It was impossible to surpass it, absolutely impossible.

"Lustful fairy!"

"Little Li!"

"Neji!"

“You’ve suffered!”

Jiraiya and the other two also had tears in their eyes, not because they were moved by Naruto's friendship, but because they saw the food he took out, and they all looked up to the sky and burst into tears.

"I'm almost dying from eating raw fish every day." Jiraiya sighed, and without being picky, he took the food from Naruto's hand and started to eat it.

Seeing this, Naruto didn't rush to leave, and directly took out the food and pressure cooker from the sealed space. He cooked the food and soup directly on the spot, and managed to put together a simple hot dish and hot rice.

"Naruto, you are really omnipotent!" Xiao Li ate frantically and said, "You are even better than Tiantian. You can actually cook in a place like this."

"It's okay." He smiled.

The jonin from the Snow Country waited nearby, having only eaten dry food along the way. Cooking was impossible at such a high altitude, and they were on a search and rescue mission, so they couldn't afford to waste time.

"Is Tenten safe?" Neji asked.

"We're back to the village safely. We should be recuperating at home now," Naruto said. "I've been to the Land of Whirlpools before, so it shouldn't be too difficult for me to return to Konoha."

"You returned to Konoha from the Land of Whirlpools by yourself?" Jiraiya was a little dumbfounded, staring at Naruto again and again, "You shouldn't have touched that door, right?"

"No, the news was delayed and I went back that same day," Naruto said with a nonchalant wave of his hand.

"That's good. The door is too dangerous, you'd better not touch it." Jiraiya raised his chopsticks, gave a vague instruction, and then continued eating.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to snatch the food from you." Naruto watched the three people eating, sweat almost pouring down his face. "You can't eat like crazy after being hungry for so long, take it easy."

It was obvious that the three of them didn't take Naruto's words to heart and ate until their bellies were full. Most people who ate like that would have been in the ICU long ago, but after all, these people were ninjas.

The way back was still long, and Jiraiya and the other two felt a sense of wonder as they lay on the snowmobile. They touched the interior of the snowmobile again and again as if they had never seen the world before.

"This is a snowmobile, how is it?" Naruto turned to look at the three people, "Isn't it convenient? We can travel in the snow, which saves a lot of time."

"How was this thing made? Even the Land of Fire doesn't seem to have it." Jiraiya looked at it and couldn't help muttering to himself, "But it doesn't seem to be that great."

"The Fire Nation is either busy with war or busy hosting parties for the nobles. How could they be willing to invest money in cultivating talents and developing technology?" Naruto was quite disdainful.

Jiraiya hadn't said anything about this. He knew what the Fire Nation nobles had been up to over the years. The money they provided to Konoha had been declining year after year, always using the excuse of poor economic conditions.

Although the nobles of the Land of Fire were all a bunch of silver bugs, Konoha was not much better. During the reign of the Sandaime, the village was always preparing for war, and the villagers' lives were still at the level of farming.

Naturally, the village's expenses can only rely on the Fire Nation, and the cycle repeats over and over again. Even good things like communicators that benefit the country and the people were instinctively rejected by those old guys.

Firstly, their thinking was still stuck in the past, and they were afraid of uncontrollable communicators leaking information. Secondly, Konoha didn't have the money to research and develop specialized communication equipment for confidentiality.

All in all, it is much easier to take a one-size-fits-all approach when facing new things.

In the field of chakra technology, the Lightning Nation is the leader, stronger than the Snow Nation. However, when it comes to consumer technology, the Snow Nation has also been catching up in recent years.

In other words, once Naruto has completely and firmly taken control of Kumogakure, the two core technologies of the Ninja World will be in his hands, and he can create a Ninja Stark at any time.

He even outlined the blueprint for the future, but Naruto was only responsible for drawing the template. As for how to do it, that was not his concern.

"What are they wearing?" Xiao Li suddenly pointed at the armor on the group of Snow Country ninjas and asked curiously.

"Chakra armor, if you're interested, I'll get you a set later." Naruto replied, "It assists ninjas in combat and can improve their fighting power."

"Improve your ninja limits? Xiao Li, you'd better not touch this armor." Jiraiya took a look and said, "You are not suitable for this armor. Wearing it will be harmful to you."

"Why?" Xiao Li was puzzled.

"You learned that set of taijutsu from that kid Gai, right?" Jiraiya said seriously, looking at Xiao Li. "Your body's limits are far beyond this. Using that set of armor will only stop you from moving forward."

Hearing this, Xiao Li was shocked, but he no longer had the idea of ​​wearing armor.

"The lecherous sage is right, you'd better not use it." Naruto waved his hand nonchalantly without looking back, "But if you're just curious, you can still give it a try."

"Forget it, I won't try it anymore." Xiao Li waved his hand and said.

The Snow Country jonin, who was in the driver's seat, couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he heard them think so little of his armor. He wondered who these people were, saying that the chakra armor was useless without even trying it.

But he only complained a few words in his heart and did not show it on his face, let alone cause trouble.

Since he was sent out by the Queen to carry out a mission, he must have a good head on his shoulders. He knew not to offend guests, even if they were just a group of Genin.

Not to mention being dissatisfied, even if the other party wants to compete, they must lose beautifully.

Even though he was just a young man, he understood that the world of martial arts was not about fighting and killing, nor about dignity and face, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Neji stared at the snowmobile for a long time, then looked at the chakra armor the other party was wearing, and suddenly felt that Konoha's technology was indeed far behind.

"Naruto, do you have a good relationship with the people of the Snow Country?" Neji suddenly asked, "Why do they all seem to be following your orders?"

It wasn't that Neji discovered the blind spot, but Jiraiya and Rock Lee hadn't recovered from the surprise of having hot meals and riding snowmobiles, so they forgot to ask.

Hearing this, Jiraiya and Rock Lee both looked at him.

"Well, I have some personal investments here. By chance, I took on the Snow Country mission before, and took advantage of the change of royal power to make some investments."

Naruto said evasively, "My brother-in-law is here."

"You know about investment. If you sow a few seeds everywhere, one place will eventually sprout. Snow Country is one of those places, so I have a say here."

"Isn't this just a local noble?" Jiraiya took a breath. He didn't expect that his apprentice was so extravagant and became a noble at such a young age.

"That's not true. The Snow Country is remote," he frantically tried to make amends. "Ahem, well... I can't possibly live here permanently, let alone come here every day, right?"

"So, this is just a place with a relatively high return on investment."

"Yeah." Neji didn't notice anything unusual.

"You are really creative, you can even come up with such an idea." Jiraiya sighed, and his attitude changed again when he looked at the snowmobile.

"That's a really nice car. Can you get it back to Konoha?"

"Didn't you just say this car was just average?" Naruto was startled and turned to look at Jiraiya, "I heard it with my own ears, don't try to argue."

"Well... I was just joking. If you bring this thing back I can only play with it in Konoha." Jiraiya said with a smile, looking playful.

"I remember you can store things, right? How about getting one back?"

"Of course you can, but it's not necessary." Naruto smiled, "Slutty Sage, this is a snowmobile. I'll have someone get you a better one later."

He wasn't lying to Jiraiya. With the snowmobile as a template, it wouldn't be a problem for the Snow Country to create a car using their technology. Even after he took control of Kumogakure, he could bring new energy electric cars to market.

The anime world does not require any logic. As long as there is fire, all kinds of civilizations can emerge.

When he thought about the easy and comfortable life in the future world, even Naruto himself felt a little yearning. This world was in tatters and needed to be transformed.

The group huddled in the snowmobile, excitedly chatting for a while before going to rest. The return trip was long, with several breaks along the way. It was already late at night when they arrived in the Snow Country.

Naruto arranged accommodation for each of them, and deliberately chose a place far away from the Snow Country Palace to avoid exposing himself.

And he...continues to do what he has not finished.
