#135 - Chapter 135: Two Years Back to the Village Super Mission Meets Konohamaru Trio Again (Two in

Two years passed in a flash.

Naruto's mission in the Land of Snow was also coming to an end.

"Naruto-sama, can't you stay?"

At the harbor, Koyuki looked with teary eyes at the handsome young man, now fifteen years old, before her.

"Sorry, I can't."

Naruto said softly, "The mission ends here, I have to go back."

"I can add money!" Koyuki said excitedly.

"......"

"This isn't about the money."

Naruto shook his head, not saying much, but turned to look at Koyuki, "During the time I'm gone, you must guard the Hidden Snow Village well for me, and protect Koyuki's safety."

"Yes, Naruto-sama!"

Standing behind Koyuki were dozens of Hidden Snow ninjas kneeling on one knee, responding to Naruto in unison.

These were all subordinates he had cultivated in the past two years.

With them here, Naruto could firmly control the Land of Snow.

"Okay, set sail!"

Naruto turned and boarded the ship, Karin closely following behind him.

"Wait for me!!!"

A familiar voice and the familiar sound of wooden clogs.

However, before it was the sound of wooden clogs on a cement floor, this time it was the sound of wooden clogs on snow.

Jiraiya came running, but the ship had already left the harbor.

Seeing this, he could only speed up, push through the crowd, and then leap!

Bang!

He jumped too low, his whole body crashed into the hull of the ship like a frog, making a crisp sound, and then slid down like a bar of soap.

Everyone: "......"

Just as everyone was guessing whether Jiraiya would fall into the sea like this, Jiraiya seemed to sense a danger, immediately sobered up, and gathered chakra in his limbs to run swiftly onto the deck!

"That was close!"

Jiraiya had a bad feeling.

Could it be that the Akatsuki was about to make a move?

To protect Naruto, he had stayed in the Land of Snow for two years, but he hadn't received any news from the Akatsuki.

It was as if this organization didn't exist at all!

"It seems that I have to be more careful when I go back, perhaps......."

......

Back in Konoha,

Naruto couldn't wait to take Karin to the Hokage Building to hand over the mission.

[Ding! ♫]

[Congratulations to the host for completing an S-rank mission for the first time, reward all attributes * 100! ♫]

[Now issuing a super mission - Become the Kage of a village! ♫]

[Mission Reward: Max Level Conqueror's Haki ♫]

Instantly,

Naruto felt the power in his whole body surge, even without moving he exuded a terrifying aura!

"Naruto?"

Tsunade's voice brought Naruto back to his senses from the surge of power.

Raising his head, he found that Tsunade was looking at him warily, as if she had encountered a natural enemy.

It seemed that even just physical strength had a very strong deterrent force!

"Sorry, I was distracted."

Naruto relaxed his body, and the oppressive feeling of power suddenly disappeared.

Tsunade also breathed a sigh of relief.

"What were you thinking, you suddenly... never mind, this is the next mission arranged for you!"

Tsunade said, throwing a scroll to Naruto.

Naruto took the scroll and said unwillingly: "I just finished a mission and came back, can't you let me rest before setting off on the next mission?"

"Stop it! Do you think I don't know what your mission was doing? It's said to be an S-rank mission, but it's no different from a vacation! The ruler of a country massaging your shoulders, beating your legs, and feeding you, how happy!" Tsunade curled her lips, directly exposing the truth of Naruto's paid vacation.

"Jiraiya told you, right!"

Naruto clenched his fists, looking like he hated evil like an enemy.

Konoha didn't have any other ninjas in the Land of Snow, and Karin wouldn't betray him.

So the only one who could know his information and tell Tsunade was Jiraiya!

"Just tell me if it is or not!" Tsunade said with a look of contempt.

Seeing this, Naruto was too lazy to argue with Tsunade, and opened the scroll to look at the specific mission content.

[S-rank mission: Escort the Prince of the Land of the Moon, who is traveling abroad, back to his country.]

[Mission Reward: Forty million!]

? ? ? ? ?

How much?

It's also an S-rank mission, but are you so rich?

Just going back to the country cost forty million? (Really rich!!)

Seeming to sense what Naruto was thinking, Tsunade said: "This Land of the Moon is different from other countries, their country is very wealthy! And because it's an island nation, it's surrounded by the sea, with no other neighboring countries, and there's no need to worry about suffering from the scourge of war."

"No one wants to fight a country over the distant sea, even if that country is very wealthy."

This made Naruto think of the Land of Waves, if it weren't for Gato, the Land of Waves might have become wealthy too.

I wonder how the Land of Waves is now.

"Okay, I'll take this mission, when do we leave?"

For the sake of the money, Naruto decided to work hard.

He was used to living in good houses and eating delicacies in the Land of Snow, and he was very uncomfortable thinking about going back to Konoha to live in a small house of dozens of square meters and eating ramen!

In order to improve his quality of life in Konoha, he took this mission!!

"Three days later, the Prince of the Land of the Moon will arrive in Konoha in three days, and your mission will officially begin in three days! You can have a good rest these three days!"

Good fellow, logistics first before the troops move?

"Got it, then I'll go first."

Naruto waved his hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tsunade.

"Wait a minute!"

Tsunade said, "This mission is more important, so I will temporarily add two more people to your team."

"Don't you believe in my ability? Even if the enemy is a whole village of ninjas, I can guarantee that the mission will not fail!"

"Of course I believe in your ability, but that prince requested that four Jonin carry out this mission, although we can't find four Jonin now, we have to arrange four people, otherwise, if a mission for four people is arranged for two people to go, this prince will probably guess whether there are no ninjas left in our village."

"We can't neglect such a big customer!"

Heh heh, a mission for four Jonin, just find four people to make up the numbers, isn't that no different from neglect?

Naruto rolled his eyes, "Whatever, but I don't need people who are too troublesome and disobedient, understand?"

"Got it! Got it!" Tsunade waved her hand to guarantee.

......

Leaving the Hokage Building, Naruto and Karin returned to their little home that they hadn't been back to for two years.

The door opened, and dust filled the air!

Immediately, Karin covered her mouth and nose, while Naruto subconsciously elementalized to avoid it!

Walking into the inner room, it was even more of a mess.

Dust was a small matter,

Other things like rusty refrigerators, moldy bed tables, and spider webs everywhere, as well as various dead insects and the droppings left by unknown creatures, were what Naruto couldn't bear!

“Karin, I'm counting on you.”

Naruto turned and left, leaving Karin with a despairing figure.

“I'm walking down the streets of Konoha~”

Humming a little tune, Naruto strolled aimlessly through the streets of Konoha.

In two years, it didn't seem like much had changed here, but it felt like a lot had changed.

At least, there didn't seem to be as many people who would give him cold shoulders on weekdays.

He didn't know if it was because his appearance had changed and they didn't recognize him, or if two years away from Konoha had made these people forget about his existence.

“Naruto-aniki!!”

Just as he was thinking, a familiar voice rang out.

Naruto turned his head and was surprised to find the Konohamaru trio, whom he hadn't seen in a long time!

“Long time no see, Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi.”

“Long time no see, Aniki!!”

“Where have you been these past two years? I couldn't find you even when I went to your house!”

“I went to carry out a mission.”

“Mission? What kind of mission takes so long?”

“An S-rank mission, protecting the daimyo of the Land of Snow!”

“S-rank?”

“Land of Snow?”

“Daimyo!!”

“Sugoi!!!!” * 3

The three of them looked shocked and worshipful.

“Naruto-aniki can already do S-rank missions? I heard that only Konoha's Jonin can carry out such high-level missions!”

“Because I'm already a Jonin.”

“Jonin, that's amazing!”

“It's a pity we haven't graduated yet! Damn it, when will I be able to show off my skills!”

Konohamaru was quite dissatisfied with his small body. He desperately hoped that he could grow up and carry out missions, and then become an object of trust for the villagers!

Like his grandfather, to become a Hokage who is respected!

“Naruto-aniki, what is the Land of Snow like? Is there a lot of snow?”

“Yeah! It's snowy all year round, except for Hakukawa.”

“Hakukawa?”

“Hakukawa is the capital of the Land of Snow. There are several geothermal generators made of huge crystal walls there. Under the influence of the geothermal generators, the ice and snow in Hakukawa will melt! It is the only city in the Land of Snow that has spring!”

“Huge crystals? That must be very beautiful!”

“I want to go see it!”

“I will go to the Land of Snow to carry out missions after I become a ninja!”

“Okay! It's decided, the three of us must go to the Land of Snow in the future!”

Looking at the Konohamaru trio, who were full of curiosity about the world, Naruto couldn't help but feel a little envious.

People cannot simultaneously enjoy youth and the feeling of youth.

This sentence still applies to him, who is only 15 years old!

What are people of his age doing?

Naruto shook his head as he watched the Konohamaru trio chatting and laughing about their future dreams.

He really still can't enjoy his youth, which has nothing to do with whether his body is young or not!

“Naruto-aniki, did you meet the daimyo of the Land of Snow? What does he look like? Is he a dignified old man?”

“No, the daimyo of the Land of Snow is just a woman who is not even twenty years old.”

“A woman? And so young!”

“She is more powerful than Moegi!” Moegi said with a look of admiration.

Moegi is determined to become a Moegi that adults will avoid when they see her.

Naruto didn't know why Moegi had this idea, but he thought she wanted to grow into a respected and feared strong woman!

As a girl, Koyuki is indeed an object of admiration for her.

“I must go see her in the future. She must be a brave, mature, stable, and respected woman!”

Brave?

Thinking of Koyuki's appearance of not daring to face reality, Naruto shook his head.

Mature and stable?

Thinking of Koyuki only knowing how to film the Great Voyage Adventure every day after becoming a daimyo, Naruto shook his head again.

Great and respected?

This is true, but Naruto is, to some extent, more influential in the Land of Snow than Koyuki, the daimyo!

Koyuki is the daimyo of the Land of Snow in name!

And Naruto is the uncrowned king of the Land of Snow!

“Naruto-aniki, do you want to come to my house for dinner?” Konohamaru suddenly mentioned.

Sarutobi Hiwashi...

Naruto still missed her cooking.

“Okay.”

Naruto agreed, “Do you mind if I bring someone else?”

“Of course not!”

Konohamaru smiled and said, “But Naruto-aniki, who are you bringing? A man or a woman?”

“A girl.”

“A girl? Could it be~”

Konohamaru looked playful and teased, then nudged Naruto's thigh with his elbow.

“No, she's just my subordinate.”

Naruto denied, “But because she doesn't have a place to live now, she's temporarily staying at my house.”

“Tch, I don't believe it. You're already living together, aren't you in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?” Konohamaru crossed his arms behind his head, his face full of distrust!

But Naruto's next words shattered his distrust and... worldview!

“Who said that living together means being in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?”

Naruto said indifferently, “Living together can also just be ordinary friends, or even not friends.”

“Eh? Isn't that... Naruto-aniki is really bad!” Moegi was the first to comment.

“Yeah, you're too bad, no girls will like you in the future!” Konohamaru complained.

“Although... but... I also think it's not good.” Udon sniffled and echoed.

Naruto curled his lips and said: “Living together doesn't mean sleeping together, can't we be roommates? You're all just perverted kids! When you grow up, you'll definitely be loyal readers of that old pervert Jiraiya!”

“A big pervert calling us little perverts!”

Konohamaru complained, “I don't know who taught us the Sexy Technique!”

“......”

Speaking of the Sexy Technique, Naruto was speechless.

He really couldn't refute this!

But who told him that he didn't know any other ninjutsu at that time?

When they walked back to Naruto's house, Karin had already cleaned up the house.

The originally dusty house was now spotless!

Spider webs, poop, and insect corpses were all cleaned up!

Even the rusty refrigerator and rotten bed and table were replaced with new ones by Karin!

At this moment, Naruto truly realized the importance of his subordinate!

He didn't take her in vain back then!

“Naruto-sama, you're back! Who are these people?”

This was the first time Karin had met the Konohamaru trio.

“You are Naruto-aniki's... subordinate! Hello, I am Konohamaru, Konoha's number one genius ninja!”

“I am Moegi, who wants to become a Moegi that adults will avoid when they see her!”

“I am Udon, who likes prime factorization the most!”

Karin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: “Hello, I am Karin, who is working hard to become Naruto-sama's right-hand woman!”
