Chapter 78 We can be friends (First update! And more!)

The cruise ship docked and people pushed ashore.

Naruto and Xianglin walked last.

"It seems there are no extra ninjas." Xianglin stood on tiptoes and looked around.

There are only two ninja teams on the dock responsible for maintaining order and performing normal patrols.

There were no other ninjas who were temporarily arranged and came specifically for the two of them.

This surprised her.

Naruto is now an extremely strong man.

They were on the border of the Land of Fire, and if they were even slightly close to those small countries, the ninja villages they belonged to would immediately become tense and serious, and some would even put on war alert.

Kirigakure didn't make any preparations?

"We are just tourists." Naruto said softly, walking in front, "Kirigakure is also one of the five great ninja villages after all, so he must be very confident in his own strength."

Xiang Rin followed. She was just confused about Kirigakure's attitude. She was not as good as those ninjas and could travel happily.

Their destination for this journey was very clear. They would head towards Kirigakure Village without stopping.

As they approached the village, the two stopped.

"I seem to have spoken a little too early." Xianglin looked ahead and whispered, "It's not that they were unprepared, they just changed their approach."

At the entrance of the village, stood a female ninja with long brown hair and a long tube top skirt.

Next to him was a male ninja with serious features, "talisman" ornaments hanging from his ears, and his right eye tightly wrapped by an eyepatch. He was Kirigakure's ANBU Changqing.

Under his blindfold is the only "white eye" that leaks out.

Naruto was observed from a distance of one kilometer.

"Terumi Mei-sama." Ao said with a heavy tone, "Uzumaki Naruto is here."

Terumi Mei asked: "How does he look?"

"Byakugan" has the ability to see into the chakra within the body.

It can intuitively confirm whether a person is strong.

Qing swallowed a sip of saliva, and the pressure brought by observation alone made his tone tighten a bit: "His chakra is as strong as a tailed beast, like the sun."

The words are not finished yet.

The self-protection mechanism of the right ear talisman was suddenly triggered, twisted and expanded, and was stuck on the eye mask.

But the next second, it shattered with a "click".

Qing quickly tilted his head, looked away, and covered his right eye, with a trace of blood spilling between his fingers.

"Ao!" Terumi Mei was startled, pulled out her hands, and mobilized chakra.

"Terumi Mei-sama, Byakugan is fine!" Ao said quickly, "My insight was discovered by Uzumaki Naruto."

Terumi Mei restrains her chakra.

"Is this how Kirigakure welcomes travelers?" At this moment, the blond and red hair walked in front of them, and his voice was very gentle.

Terumi Mei and Naruto looked at each other, smiled and said, "You are not an ordinary traveler."

"I apologize to you on behalf of Qing."

"This guy relies a little too much on his own abilities and uses them subconsciously."

Naruto nodded and responded with a polite smile: "Thank you for the welcome."

He was about to take a step and walk into the village.

"Wait." Terumi Mei said.

Naruto looked back at her.

"Instead of the two of you visiting the village alone, why don't we get a tour guide?" Terumi Mei bowed slightly and said sincerely, "No matter what your purpose is, wouldn't it be more convenient if you can communicate directly with Kirigakure?"

In more than half a year, Naruto has grown a lot in height and is only half a head shorter than Terumi Mei.

His face was calm: "Of course it's no problem, but who are you from Kirigakure?"

"Let's just call him Mizukage." Terumi thought for a moment before giving her answer.

She is now the leader of the village and handles all matters big and small.

But strictly speaking, it is not a "water shadow".

The current leader of Kirigakure is the elder "Genshi". Without his approval, even if he has the power of "kage", he cannot be called a "water shadow".

"Kage?" Naruto looked at her, "Kage of Kirigakure has so much time?"

Terumi Mei shook her head: "We can find many people to handle the village's affairs."

"But being your tour guide is not something just anyone can do."

Naruto agreed: "Then I will trouble you for the next period of time."

"Naruto, please give me some advice." Terumi Mei smiled brightly, her branches trembling.

Xianglin looked at her, then lowered his head to look at himself. At a glance, he saw shoes at the end.

This made her couldn't help but click her tongue.

Terumi Mei seemed to hear it and smiled even brighter.

Ao apologized and thanked Naruto and left instantly.

Terumi Mei led them into the village.

Kirigakure is no more prosperous than Konoha, and even worse than some prosperous towns in the Land of Fire.

"This village has experienced some very bad things." Terumi Mei introduced, "In recent years, we have been recuperating and recovering gradually."

"However, it is not as good as those countries on land."

"In a village like ours, Naruto-chan, can you tell me your purpose of coming here?"

Naruto looked at her, took the special snack that Xianglin bought from the roadside stall, and nodded: "I want to see what Kirigakure and the Kingdom of Water are like, and how they are different from the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha."

"I also want to ask Kirigakure for something."

Terumi Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but look serious.

Sure enough, there is a special purpose.

But what would he want?

She was silent for a while, then smiled slightly and said, "I thought very hard just now. I wonder what Kirigakure could get into your eyes."

Kirigakure was once very powerful.

There are seven people with ninja swords and two jinchūriki.

But now

Almost all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen defected, and only one sword remained, a child prodigy who had not fully grown up.

The Six-Tails Jinchuuriki also defected and disappeared without a trace.

The Three-Tails can be said to be still in the hands of the village, but the vacancy of the Jinchuriki has not been filled.

The current Kirigakure is the crane tail among the "Five Great Countries".

That is to say, the Kingdom of Water is above the sea, almost isolated from the world, and protected by natural dangers.

Otherwise, a war would have been launched long ago and it would have been divided and devoured by the other four major countries.

"About twenty years ago, the Kingdom of Uzumaki was destroyed overnight." Naruto continued with a smile, "Was Kirigakure involved?"

Terumi Mei looked at Naruto and nodded: "That's what happened."

At that time, she was about the same age as Naruto now, so she had experienced it firsthand.

But what does it mean to mention this?

"I think Kirigakure should return the things that once belonged to the Kingdom of Uzumaki to me, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan." Naruto made a suggestion, "What do you think?"

Terumi Mei's heart dropped: "Are you here for the things from the Uzumaki Country?"

"Then I'll have someone prepare it."

She left in an instant and came back quickly.

Without mentioning the outcome of this matter, he continued to take Xiang Rin and Naruto to visit Kirigakure Village.

Water Shadow Building, a conference room.

The five Jonin took their seats.

In the center is an old man with bald hair and few teeth.

"Terumi Mei-sama has sent news that Uzumaki Naruto's purpose is to obtain the Uzumaki clan's things from us." Ao opened his mouth and told the information he had just gained.

A Jonin frowned: "Is it a request, not a transaction?"

"Let Terumi Mei negotiate a deal with him!" Another older jounin said with a strong tone, "I don't want to give anything, I just want to take it."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by others: "Don't forget, his name is Uzumaki Naruto."

At the end, he repeated his last name: "His last name is Uzumaki."

It is very reasonable for Uzumaki to ask for something belonging to the Uzumaki family.

"Let Terumi Mei find an opportunity to spar with him." Someone thought carefully and suggested, "Test his strength."

"If it's like what the rumors say, there's nothing wrong with giving it to him to make friends with strong people."

"If the strength is average, then"

This made many people agree.

If you are strong, make friends with them; if you are weak, don't worry about them.

Qing shook his head: "I don't agree."

The other jonin looked at him in surprise.

"You have never had any contact with Uzumaki Naruto." Qing's tone was heavy, "You think it's a test?"

"Maybe it's provocation in his eyes."

"It would be great if Terumi Mei-sama can beat him, but if he can't win, he won't treat this as a competition. The result is beyond our control."

Some frowned, some sneered.

Qing raised his hand and put it on the eye patch: "Terumi Mei-sama and I met Uzumaki Naruto at the entrance of the village."

"I just used my Byakugan to see through it, trying to see his chakra, but he counterattacked and hurt my eyes."

"The strong have the dignity of the strong."

The other jonin were silent.

"Master Yuanshi, what do you think?" A jounin looked at the old man at the head of the table and asked cautiously.

The old man holding a snake-shaped wooden staff spoke with an old voice: "Let Terumi Mei choose."

"She is the one who will lead the village in the future."

"We have never been in contact with Uzumaki Naruto, so we decided rashly that we might as well choose to believe her."

Qing stood up: "Master Yuanshi, then I will prepare what Uzumaki Naruto wants."

Master Yuan nodded.

An hour later.

Terumi Mei took Naruto and Kaoru to visit Kirigakure's ninja school.

An Anman landed on the ground with a respectful expression and a pile of scrolls in his arms.

"It seems that everything is ready." Terumi Mei smiled, "Let's find a place and sit down to talk?"

Naruto nodded in agreement.

In a restaurant, I just sat down.

Terumi Mei waved her hand and asked the ANBU to put the scroll in front of Naruto: "This is the legacy of all the Uzumaki Kingdom in our village."

"History, knowledge, records."

"I had them all taken out."

Naruto pushed them in front of Xianglin: "It's so refreshing. I thought it would take a little more effort."

"There is no need to become an enemy of a powerful ninja for something that does not belong to us." Terumi Mei said softly, looking at the piles of scrolls, there was no reluctance.

Say it again.

Over the past twenty years, most of these things have been thoroughly studied. Even if they are not studied clearly, there are still backups.

"We can be friends." She finalized the nature of this matter.

Naruto smiled: "We should be friends."

Terumi Mei took a deep breath: "I won't beat around the bush, Kirigakure has a request."

"Whether you agree or not, Naruto-chan, it will not affect our friendship."

"But I hope you'll listen."

Naruto nodded: "Go ahead."
