In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"and then?"

"The Snow Country can't produce that much rice, and the domestic supply is still insufficient. Normally, the snow rice that comes out of trade is even more expensive, but now, there is a lot more snow country rice on the market."

Shikamaru talked freely, his chubby cheeks trembling, he squinted his eyes, leaned forward with his chopsticks in hand, and spoke seriously.

"Where did the leaking snow rice come from? Something big must have happened in the Snow Country. Either a coup has occurred, or the Snow Country has risen up."

"Otherwise, how could a small country thousands of miles away, with only a world of ice and snow to look at, with such high production and inconvenient transportation, possibly trade with the Fire Nation?"

Naruto put down his chopsticks and suddenly realized that Choji was not only good at eating, but also had a good brain. It was just that he lived under the shadow of Shikamaru all day long and did not show his true colors.

"There was indeed a coup in the Snow Kingdom. Six years ago, I personally sent the old king away."

"Are you kidding me? If you..." Halfway through his words, Choji suddenly froze, looked up at Naruto, and swallowed hard.

"Are you kidding me?"

"What do you think?" He put down his chopsticks and poured himself a cup of tea. "If I say that the Snow Country is mine, would you be too surprised?"

"Six years ago... you were just a Genin at that time, right? Didn't the mission to the Snow Country fail?" Choji asked in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

"You four drifted at sea for a month and ended up stranded on a deserted island. Then...Kakashi-sensei brought you back. Do you remember that time?"

"I remember the mission should have failed. I heard that you were almost sacrificed by those crazy people from the Hot Spring Country before you even reached the Snow Country."

"Yes, but I went there again secretly later, and only brought Fenghua Xiaoxue with me." Naruto said slowly, "By the way, Fenghua Xiaoxue is Princess Fengyun."

"Princess Fengyun?" Choji stood up with a thud. "No wonder the Princess Fengyun movies ended so badly. Did she go back to inherit the throne?"

"Pretty much. Once the old king is driven away, she'll be the queen of the Snow Country," Naruto nodded, his mind instantly reeling back memories of that time.

Suddenly, he realized that the three women at sea seemed to be related to him. Whether it was Hongdou, Xiaoying, or Fenghua Xiaoxue, the three of them seemed to have been intertwined with him due to various reasons.

Like the gears of fate, the wheels began turning from the moment the four embarked on their Snow Country mission. Only later, looking back, did they realize their destinies had long been intertwined, inseparable.

"So... the Snow Country is really yours?" Choji sat down and took a deep breath. "The entire Snow Country is yours?"

"No."

"That's good. You scared me to death. I was wondering how it could be possible..."

"Half and half," he said, but he was thinking in his heart that even the Queen of the Snow Kingdom is mine.

Shikamaru almost vomited blood and said while holding his heart.

"You already had a small country six years ago? What was I doing then? Damn it! So... I'm the only one who has accomplished nothing all these years?"

On this day, Shikamaru sadly discovered that his former companions had all achieved something great, and even the brother who had agreed to be at the bottom of the class together had secretly formed a small country.

"More than one..."

"What?" Choji looked up and asked.

"Nothing." Naruto waved his hand, "What's the use of me having so many small countries? I'm not going to be a king. You know me, I just want to lie down."

"Don't lie down. I'm treating you to this meal. Can you find a way to get me some snow lotus from the Land of Snow?" Choji pulled him aside and complained, "My father-in-law's birthday is in a few days. Can you help me?"

"That's no problem. I'll send it to you in two days." He agreed immediately.

"Two days? So fast?" Shikamaru was a little confused.

"Um...it has to be expedited for you." Naruto didn't want to expose the Yomiuri Gate for the time being, so as not to undermine Shikamaru's self-confidence.

Even though Naruto always skips the bill at every dinner party, which makes Choji very annoyed, he still goes every time Naruto organizes a party. The gap is so big that it's hard for them to become friends.

Of the former Twelve Warriors of Konoha, only Naruto and Choji are still idle. Perhaps it's because they both have similar dreams: to eat while lying down.

They both ate happily during the meal, and before leaving, Naruto packed some food to take home for Konan. Choji stared at him for a while and asked in confusion.

"Is there anyone else in your family?"

"No, it's for the foxhound." Naruto said casually.

"Ah? When did you become so nice to it? Didn't you say before that it wasn't worthy of being eaten?" Shikamaru scratched his head, thinking that you are so kind.

back home.

Konan was probably in a bad mood, so she ate a little and went back to her room. Naruto didn't waste the rest, and fed the stray dogs around with great interest.

The next day.

Guessing that Uchiha Obito wouldn't come at this time, he opened the Yellow Spring Gate and traveled to the Land of Snow. Fenghua Xiaoxue was just finishing her bath when she was startled by Naruto's sudden appearance.

"you......."

"My friend asked me for snow lotus. Do you have any?" Naruto asked straight to the point.

"Yes, I'll ask someone to prepare it." Fenghua Xiaoxue smiled, sat down on the sofa, patted the edge and said.

"Come and sit first."

Wasn't the suffering he endured last time profound enough? Naruto happened to be free, the anxiety of waiting for Uchiha Obito for days still lingering in his mind, so he didn't mind relaxing a bit.

Two hours later, a large pile of snow lotus was delivered in gift boxes.

"These need to be refrigerated, otherwise they will go bad." Fenghua Xiaoxue's voice was a little hoarse, and she pointed at the other half and said weakly, "Those are dry goods, they need to be kept away from moisture."

"I see. You won't need so much." Naruto collected all these things and turned to look at Fenghua Xiaoxue. "You should have a good rest. I'll come to see you next time."

"Hmm." She nodded.

After Naruto left, Fenghua Xiaoxue pursed her lips and lay on the soft big bed with a tired smile. Once she had a child, she wouldn't be alone anymore.

The residence of the Akimichi clan.

Choji stared blankly at the four boxes of snow lotus lined up on the table. He looked up at Naruto, then down at the snow lotus.

"Damn it, was what you boasted about yesterday true?"

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Naruto drank his tea leisurely.

"If you needed it urgently, you only took half a day to get it? Isn't that a bit too efficient?" Shikamaru was amazed, holding a box of snow lotus and looking at it over and over again.

"It's so beautiful."

"The things have been delivered anyway. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Naruto stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Choji.

"Where are you in such a hurry? You're not drinking today?"

"Give gifts to Ino and Hinata..." Naruto said, counting on his fingers, "Give one box to Kakashi-sensei, and one to Uzuki Yugao. I have to ask the Anbu for help in a few days."

"Get out!" Choji stretched out his chubby hand and pushed him out. "Go away! Don't show yourself here! Get out! Uzumaki Naruto, you deserve to die!"

"Haha, you are just jealous. I will find you tomorrow." Naruto turned and left, thinking to himself why Uchiha Obito hasn't come yet, you should come quickly.

Chapter 476 Naruto: I Want to Be a Good Person

Konan lay in bed, squinting her eyes as she woke up. The curtains in the room were drawn, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night. Uchiha Obito still hadn't appeared.

I stay in the room every day, just daydreaming and sleeping. After experiencing life and death, those memories always flash through my mind unconsciously.

Yahiko's dream was to change the world, Nagato's dream was peace, so what was her own dream? Konan turned over and curled up.

She couldn't articulate her dreams. When she was little, she might have simply wanted to have enough food to eat. Later, she hoped for peace, and later, she hoped to change the world.

Now...she just wanted to go back to the past, not think about anything else, just want the people around her to be alive. She just wanted everyone to be alive, and live well.

As she thought about it, a line of tears flowed down her cheeks.

Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.

Xiaonan came back to her senses and immediately calmed down. She stood up and opened the door. As soon as she opened the door, Naruto covered her mouth with his hand, and her body suddenly froze.

Naruto looked serious, covered her mouth with one hand, and put his index finger of the other hand to her mouth to make a shushing gesture, signaling her not to make any sound.

"He's coming, hide." He mouthed silently, gently pushed Xiaonan, and pointed to the closet to signal her to hide in.

The Samsara Eye is not a clairvoyant eye, so Uchiha Obito cannot sense Konan's chakra. Konan suddenly became nervous and subconsciously hid in the cabinet quietly.

Naruto closed the door with his backhand, closed his eyes, and felt Uchiha Obito's chakra approaching him quickly. His whole body relaxed, and his face instantly returned to calm.

I'm not afraid of him coming, I'm afraid of him not coming.

Very close.

dong dong dong.

Naruto stood in the living room drinking water, feeling a bit surprised. This guy actually chose to knock on the front door? How the hell was this just like Itachi Uchiha's habit? Damn it.

He put down the glass, walked slowly to the door and opened it with a click.

Outside the door, Uchiha Obito was dusty and covered in an oval mask with black and white circles. His only exposed eyes were cold and he glanced at Naruto the moment he opened the door.

Naruto also showed a ferocious smile, with an equally imposing aura, and looked at Uchiha Obito coldly.

"Uchiha Obito, your mother is dead, why are you not dead?"

"Uzumaki Naruto, your mouth is still foul." Obito stared at him without any emotion. "I have obtained the Samsara Eye. Let's get started."

"Now?" Naruto glanced at him, "Let me change my clothes?"

"Time is tight, I don't think it's necessary." Uchiha Obito said calmly, pointing to the door, "Let's go, you don't need me to treat you, right?"

"Since we both know each other's weaknesses, there's no need to say more. As long as Lin is resurrected, everything will be easy to discuss. If you don't cooperate..."

Uchiha Obito didn't say anything else, but his meaning was very clear. If Naruto didn't cooperate, then Obito would attack his weak spot.

As for Naruto's weaknesses, they are naturally Ino and Hinata.

Naruto's expression changed. He wanted to chop the creature in front of him directly, but he also felt that this was too easy for him. He squeezed his hands and then released them, a smile on his face.

"Let's go then."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Obito turned around and went downstairs.

He had obtained the Rinnegan, and a surge of power surged through his body like a tide. He was extremely sensitive to the slightest movement around him, so he was naturally not afraid of Naruto's actions behind his back.

Naruto changed his shoes and went out, closing the door before leaving.

With a bang, the living room fell into silence. Xiaonan stood in the closet, motionless, her heart pounding, afraid to make the slightest noise.

The plan had been finalized, and if they acted rashly, then the plan would be meaningless. Xiaonan was very clear about his responsibilities and did not act impulsively.

She didn't come out immediately, but waited for a few minutes before slowly taking a step forward. The moment her toes touched the ground, Xiaonan calmly and smoothly completed what she had envisioned in her mind.

He took out the Anbu clothes from the closet, changed into them quickly, pushed open the unlocked window and went out.

into the night.

Naruto followed Uchiha Obito out, the moonlight spilling down onto the ground. Uchiha Obito's movements were very gentle, and both of them shielded their auras so as not to alert the Anbu.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"The edge of the Fire Country forest." Obito said without turning his head.

"Haha, you villains are really interesting. You all like to do things on the border of the Land of Fire." Naruto did not hide his sarcasm. "You hide and seek like rats."

"Aren't you the same? You do things by any means necessary." Obito glanced back at him.

"I'm different from you. I see the light and stand on the side of justice." Naruto smiled. "What about you? Do you dare to tell Nohara Lin what you have done over the years?"

"I don't regret it. They hurt Lin. I just let them suffer the pain that Lin suffered." Uchiha Obito's voice was cold and unmoved.

The two of them moved forward at a speed that was almost impossible to discern with the naked eye. Seeing the main gate of Konoha right before their eyes, Uchiha Obito slowly glanced in Naruto's direction.

"Really? Nohara Rin must be very happy to know what you did. The romantic man who killed his master and his mistress is really very handsome." Naruto did not do anything extreme at the village entrance.

"Whatever you say." Obito walked through the Konoha gate, followed closely by Naruto.

"Hehe." Naruto didn't say anything else.

Konoha.

As soon as Xiaonan left the house, Uzuki Yugao also put on the Anbu uniform and took up the sword and quietly went out. The difference was that one was flying directly in the sky, while the other was carrying a note to do things.

"Captain?" The Anbu were stunned. They actually met Uzuki Yugao.

"Well, immediately dispatch the third team to the area around the Yamanaka Flower Shop to set up surveillance and protection. The second team will go to the Hyuga base to explain our purpose to the Hyuga clan and protect Hyuga Hinata's safety."

As she walked, Uzuki Yugao gave orders and put on an Anbu mask.

"be quick!"

"Yes!" The Anbu members immediately disappeared on the spot.

At the same time, half of Konoha suddenly woke up, and the Anbu who were on vacation were directly notified that their vacation was cancelled. Kakashi also woke up from his sleep and led his men to the Hokage Building.
