All It Takes Is a Spark to Transform the Shinobi World

He clearly remembered that Naruto was fast asleep in the snowmobile just half an hour ago, but when he got out of the vehicle, his eyes were red and he even tripped and fell while running.

Silk~~~

His smooth performance made him gasp. He thought to himself that there really is a gap between people; he couldn't surpass it, he couldn't surpass it at all.

"Pervy Sage!"

"Rock Lee!"

"Neji!"

"You've suffered!"

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

"Eating raw fish Tenten is killing me." Jiraiya sighed, then took the food from Naruto's hand and started eating it without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Naruto wasn't in a hurry to leave. He immediately took out food and a pressure cooker from his Sealing Space. He cooked and made soup right there, managing to cobble together a simple hot meal.

"Naruto, you're really omnipotent!" Rock Lee said, slurping as he ate his rice. "You're even better than Tenten, being able to cook in a place like this."

"It's alright," he said with a smile.

The Jonin from the Land of Snow waited nearby, having only eaten dry rations throughout the journey. Cooking rice at such a high altitude was impossible, and besides, they were on a search and rescue mission and couldn't afford to waste time.

"Is Tenten safe?" Neji asked.

"I'm safely back in the village, and I should be resting at home now," Naruto said. "I've been to the Land of Whirlpools, so returning to Konohagakure shouldn't be too difficult."

"You returned to Konohagakure from the Land of Whirlpools on your own?" Jiraiya was somewhat dumbfounded, staring at Naruto for Jiraiya moment. "You didn't touch that door, did you?"

"No, there was a delay in the message. I went back that day," Naruto said, waving his hand dismissively.

"That's good. The door is too dangerous; you'd better not touch it." Jiraiya raised his chopsticks, mumbled a word of advice, and then continued eating.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Naruto looked at the three of them eating their leftovers, sweating profusely. "You can't suddenly eat like crazy after being hungry for so long. Take it easy."

Clearly, the three of them didn't take Naruto's words to heart and ate until their bellies were round. Most people would be in the ICU by now, living on a 5,000 yuan a day cycle of pleasure, but these were ninjas, after all.

The journey back was still long, Jiraiya and his two companions lay on the snowmobile, feeling a sense of wonder. Like they'd never seen anything like it before, they touched and examined the interior of the snowmobile repeatedly.

"This is a snowmobile, what do you think?" Naruto turned to the three of them. "Isn't it convenient? You 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 one." Jiraiya examined it for a while and muttered to himself, "But it doesn't seem very impressive either."

"The Land of Fire is either busy with war or throwing lavish parties for its nobles; they're not willing to invest in training talent or developing technology," Naruto said dismissively.

Jiraiya didn't say anything about it; he knew perfectly well what kind of people the nobles of the Land of Fire had been like all these years. The money supplied to Konohagakure had been declining year after year, always using the excuse of a poor economy.

While the nobles of the Land of Fire were a bunch of silver-tongued insects, Konohagakure wasn't much better off. During the Third Hokage's reign, the village was constantly preparing for war, and the villagers' lives remained at an agricultural level.

The village's expenses naturally depended on the Land of Fire, and the cycle repeated itself. Even something as beneficial as a communicator was instinctively rejected by those old guys.

First, their thinking is still stuck in the past, and they fear that uncontrollable communication devices might leak information. Second, Konohagakure doesn't have the funds to research dedicated communication equipment for classified purposes.

In short, when faced with new things, a one-size-fits-all approach is much easier.

In the field of Chakra technology, the Land of Lightning is unparalleled, surpassing the Land of Snow. However, in terms of everyday technology, the Land of Snow has been catching up rapidly in recent years.

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

He had even drawn up a blueprint for the future, but Naruto was only responsible for drawing the template; how to actually do it was not his concern.

"What are they wearing?" Rock Lee suddenly pointed to the armor worn by the group of ninjas from the Land of Snow and asked curiously.

"Chakra Armor, if you're interested, I'll have you get a set made later," Naruto replied. "It's for assisting ninjas in battle and can enhance their combat power."

"Is it to improve a ninja's limits? Rock Lee, you'd better not touch this armor." Jiraiya glanced at it. "This armor is not suitable for you. Wearing it will only harm you."

"Why?" Rock Lee asked, puzzled.

"You learned your Taijutsu from that kid Guy, didn't you?" Jiraiya asked Rock Lee with a serious expression. "Your physical limits are far greater than this. Once you use that armor, you'll be stuck at that level."

Upon hearing this, Rock Lee was startled, but the idea of wearing the armor disappeared from his mind.

"The Pervy Sage, you'd better not use it." Naruto waved his hand dismissively and said without turning his head, "But if you're just curious, you can still give it a try."

"Forget it, forget it, I won't try it," Rock Lee said, waving his hand.

The Land of Snow, who was in the driver's seat Jonin a surge of displeasure upon hearing their dismissive attitude towards his armor. He wondered to himself, "Just who are these people? They haven't even tried the Chakra Armor and yet they're already declaring it useless."

But he only complained to himself and didn't show it on his face, let alone cause trouble.

Since they were assigned this mission by the Queen, they must have some brains. They know they can't offend the guests, and even if they are just a group of Genin ninjas, they must still treat them with utmost respect.

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

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

Neji stared at the snowmobile for a long time, then looked at the Chakra Armor worn by the other person, and suddenly realized that Konohagakure's technology was indeed far behind.

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

It wasn't that Neji discovered the blind spot, but rather that Jiraiya and Rock Lee were still reeling from the surprise of having a hot meal and a snowmobile, and that's why they forgot to ask.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and Rock Lee looked at him.

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

With his brother-in-law present, Naruto downplayed the issue.

"You know how investment works. You sow a seed somewhere, and it will eventually sprout somewhere. The Land of Snow is one of those places, so I have a certain say here."

"Isn't this just a nouveau riche?" Jiraiya gasped. He hadn't expected his apprentice to be so cunning, already a noble at such a young age.

"You can't say that, the Land of Snow is in a remote area." He frantically tried to salvage the situation. "Ahem, well, I can't possibly live there permanently, let alone come here Tenten, right?"

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

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

"You're quite the schemer, aren't you? You actually came up with this idea." Jiraiya remarked, his attitude towards the snowmobile changing again.

"This car is really nice. Can you take it back to Konohagakure?"

"Didn't you just say this car was so-so?" Naruto exclaimed, turning to look at Jiraiya. "I heard it with my own ears, don't try to deny it."

"Well... I was just kidding. Even if you take this back, I can only play with it in Konohagakure," Jiraiya a grin, looking quite playful.

"I remember you can organize things, how about we bring one back?"

"It's possible, but there's no need." Naruto smiled. "Pervy Sage, this is a snowmobile. I'll have someone get you a better one later."

He wasn't lying to Jiraiya. With snowmobiles as a template, creating a car using the technology of the Land of Snow wouldn't be a problem at all. He might even be able to introduce new energy electric vehicles once he takes control of Kumogakure.

The world of anime doesn't need logic; as long as there's fire, countless civilizations can spring to life.

Even Naruto himself felt a longing for the easy and comfortable life he would have in the future. This world was in such a dilapidated state; it deserved a good makeover.

The group huddled inside the snowmobile, chatting excitedly for a while before going to rest. The return journey was long, with several rest stops along the way, and they arrived in the Land of Snow late at night.

Naruto arranged accommodations for the group, deliberately choosing places far from the Land of Snow Palace to avoid giving himself away.

He continued to do what he hadn't finished.
