After using the Body Flicker Technique to leave the cave, Naruto let out a long breath and said, "That was suffocating. So damn disgusting. Sandayu, that revolting hypocrite. Damn it, I hate hypocrites more than anything. Heh, but this works out nicely. I won't feel guilty about killing him. Hmm, I should find that stupid princess first. She really is pitiful. Her father just died, her uncle stole the country that should have belonged to her, and now he's after the last treasure she has left. Even the retainer she's always trusted has ulterior motives. What a miserable situation. Fine, I'll consider this a favor to a poor woman."
Heavy snow suddenly began falling from the sky, covering the footprints. Naruto walked through the snow, searching for traces of Kazahana Koyuki's passage. This woman really knows how to run away. She actually sent me down the wrong path just now. I have to hand it to her-she's clever when it comes to escaping.
When Naruto first came out, he had thought finding her would be easy. Who would have guessed that the figure he finally caught up to would turn out to be a humanoid robot? He was genuinely shocked. He had never expected Kazahana Koyuki to use a trick like that to fool him. More importantly, how did she have a high-tech product like a robot? It left him speechless. With no other choice, Naruto expanded his sensory range as far as he could and retraced his steps.

This world had televisions, smartphones, trains, and all sorts
