Sky Mother Ship

Land of Lightning

At the Daimon Kumogakure.

"Hokage, I look forward to Konoha hosting the Joint Chunin Ninja Exams. I will definitely be there in person to support you."

The Fourth Raikage A, saw off the Hokage and his party at the entrance of Kumogakure, who had come to support the Chunin Ninja Exams and increase their popularity.

"Haha, thank you in advance."

Naraku's smile was warm, indicating he was in a good mood. Having traveled from Konoha to visit Kumogakure and witnessed its Kumogakure, Naraku his gratitude and then softly continued:

"However, I have already arranged a time with Sunagakure for the next joint Chunin Ninja Exams, so the event held in Konoha will be slightly postponed. I hope the Raikage will understand."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage A, was somewhat puzzled by the Konoha's frequent outings and communications with various villages. After a moment's thought, he generously replied:

"No problem! Just invite Kumogakure first when the event is held!"

"Definitely! We welcome the Raikage to visit Konoha. The Konoha have long wanted to see the Raikage in person and will definitely line the streets to welcome him."

After exchanging pleasantries, Naraku waved his hand.

"Raikage, please leave! Goodbye!"

After saying that, the four of them turned and left.

The Raikage watched Naraku and Naraku group slowly depart, and only after they had gone far away did the Dodai Kumogakure Jonin, whisper:

"Lord Raikage, Konoha has always ignored our invitations to jointly host the Konoha Chunin Ninja Exams. This time, Konoha is so agreeable, frequently going out. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"

"No amount of conspiracy will work, Tsuchitai. We, the Kumogakure Dodai, fear no enemy! It would be more prudent to tally up the ticket revenue from this Chunin Ninja Exams."

The Raikage dismissed Dodai's words. The Hokage's participation Chunin the Allied Kumogakure Chunin Ninja Exams greatly increased the hype surrounding the upcoming Chunin Exams, attracting numerous nobles and wealthy merchants from afar to witness whether the Konoha Ninja or the Kumogakure were stronger.

"Yes, but this is also a good opportunity, Lord Raikage..."

As Dodai spoke, his tone became somewhat sinister, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.

The village's leader, Kumogakure, is extremely busy and rarely leaves the village. The relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha is lukewarm, unlike the alliance between Konoha and Hidden Sand. Moreover, while they are said to be allies, Hidden Sand is actually controlled by Konoha.

Dodai's words made Raikage ponder for a while, as if he was thinking.

"Konoha is formidable, with White Fang, Yellow Flash, the Sannin, and the Konoha Body Flicker. They are not to be underestimated. Moreover, the Fourth Hokage is not someone to be trifled with. Let's go back."

After thinking for a while, Raikage put aside the suggestion of the Dodai and turned to return to the village.

After leaving, the Fourth Hokage Uchiha Nara, and his group returned directly to the place where they had landed at Angkor Fortress. After breaking the concealment barrier, they piloted Angkor Fortress into the air and flew south towards Konoha.

Inside the cockpit of the Angkor Fortress, Naraku channeled Chakra, controlling the Sky Fortress.

Several guards and Si Nong stood behind him.

"I really love this aircraft, but the name isn't quite right, Angkor Fortress... needs to be changed."

Naraku piloted the Angkor Fortress, growing more and more fond of it with each ride.

"Sky Fortress, capable of carrying many Sky Ninja to launch air attacks, how about renaming it an 'Aerial Mothership'? What do you guys think?"

Naraku, his mind racing with sci-fi fantasies, whispered a question to the people behind him.

"Great! This name is excellent, it fits the reality and function of Angkor Fortress perfectly. Aerospace Mothership, brilliant!"

The Si Nong immediately agreed, raising both hands in approval.

"Yes, I think that fits the situation perfectly."

"Space carrier? That's a very imposing name."

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Tekka, standing behind him, agreed after a moment's thought upon hearing the question.

"A space carrier, huh? With this one, we can research and replicate it in the future. If all the subsequent ones are called space carriers, it will be difficult to tell them apart."

Seeing how much Tsunade liked this Sky Fortress and Sky Fortress, Tsunade 'Naraku beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered:

"How's the Space Carrier - Konoha?"

Tsunade's naming not only catered to Naraku's thoughts but also distinguished the fortress.

"Space Carrier - Konoha? Hmm, there will be many more replicas in the future, so let's call it that! Truly worthy of Tsunade ~"

Upon hearing Tsunade, Naraku immediately showered her with compliments, flattering his beloved wife, saying the name perfectly suited Naraku taste.

"Have we arrived at the Land of Hot Water? I've heard that the hot springs Land of Hot Water are unparalleled in the Shinobi World. Si Nong, have the Sky Ninja prepare themselves and come with us to the Land of Hot Water them to enjoy the hot springs!"

Naraku saw on the electronic map in the cockpit that they had arrived at the Land of Land of Hot Water, and couldn't help but think of the local customs and culture of the Land of Hot Water.

The Land of Hot Water is a village nourished by water, a place favored by nature. The country's water resources are astonishingly abundant, especially the pearl of the Land of Hot Water Yugakure, where the entire village is filled with hot springs and surrounded by the gentleness of water.

The hot springs are all marked with the character "hot spring," which is also the origin of the Land of Hot Water and the Yugakure. Thanks to the prosperity of the hot spring industry, many ninjas who have carried out heavy missions will choose to relax in the hot springs of the Yugakure after completing their missions to relieve their physical fatigue.

Meanwhile, the prosperity of the hot spring business in Yugakure meant that most of the village's ninjas could earn a substantial income without having to perform high-risk missions. This led the village to abhor war, cherish peace, and yearn for harmonious coexistence. It was known in the Shinobi World as the village that had forgotten war.

"Hot springs in the Land of Hot Water Springs? This trip has been exhausting; I really need a hot spring to relax."

Naraku behind Tsunade, seemed to remember something and gave a meaningful smile, expressing her complete agreement.

"The Lord Hokage mighty!"

When Hatake Kakashi heard about this wonderful opportunity, he exclaimed that being the Hokage's bodyguard was truly a free vacation.

Uchiha Tekka, who was usually stern and unsmiling, smiled upon hearing that he was relaxing in a hot spring after leaving the Land of Lightning and his guard had lowered.

Naraku piloted the Konoha Airspace Carrier and landed on a mountain near Land of Hot Water Yugakure.

The Land of Hot Water is different from the Land of Lightning. In the Land of Lightning, it is necessary to set up a concealment barrier to hide the space carrier, and to leave some people on the space carrier.

The Land of Hot Water is such a weak country that it obviously doesn't need to be guarded against too much.

Hundreds of ninjas followed Uchiha Nara, charging towards Yugakure in a grand procession.

"Who goes there!?"

The ninjas at the entrance of Yugakure, upon seeing hundreds of ninjas, looked terrified and shouted loudly.

"Uchiha Nara, the Fourth Hokage Konoha in the Land of Fire, has arrived! Hurry and welcome him!"

Uchiha Tekka stepped forward to negotiate.

"Hokage? But, but there are way too many of you!"

The guarding ninjas were somewhat trembling. Their Yugakure only had about 10,000 people in total, and their ninja ranks were even smaller. When they suddenly saw so many people, the guards were stunned and didn't know how to handle the situation.

Naraku was followed by about five hundred Sky Ninja soldiers in uniform, all of whom wore Forehead Protector with the Konoha insignia.

"Kakashi, go and negotiate with the leader of Yugakure. Konoha loves peace, and I, the Hokage, am not short of money. Tell him not to worry."

Without stopping, Naraku led his large force into Yugakure.
