The First Railway

After explaining some more details, Feng told Kazahana Dōtō and the others to get on with their work, while he himself summoned his Steel-Wing Dragon and slowly flew along the Sunagakure toward the Capital of the Land of Wind.

As the first railway on his territory, he needed to conduct a thorough on-site inspection. (The trains in the Land of Snow were previously built on permafrost or ice fields, but after the geothermal facilities were put into operation, those tracks became unusable, and the trains naturally stopped running.)

If there are mountains or deep ravines along the way, he can Susanoo to help clear the mountains and Wood Release to help fill the ravines.

As Feng Fei left, he seemed not to notice the white-robed old man floating not far from him. That old man was none other than the one who had previously hovered near Tsunade and White Zetsu, yet whom Tsunade and White Zetsu could not see.

Watching Uchiha Feng fly further and further away, the old man frowned, struggling with the decision of whether to change the script.

If they continued with the countless drafts they had gone over with Gamamaru, they would surely be able to win over their mother, but they would be completely helpless against the future extraterrestrial enemy.

Or take a gamble? This descendant of his eldest son is unpredictable, and his way of dealing with people is always unpredictable, yet he leads his people to flourish, and his achievements are clearly brighter than his old script.

"Forget it, let's wait a bit longer, there's still some time."

In the end, he still didn't make a choice, muttered something again, and disappeared on the spot.

And this! It's a pity the old man arrived half a month too late. If he could have seen the middle-aged Naruto and Sasuke who had sent Urashiki to where he is now, he wouldn't have hesitated and struggled; he would have definitely gone all in on Feng.

After all, by the time he actually chooses Feng, Feng will already be planning to take over his territory, and by then he will be powerless to stop him.

Just as the old man disappeared, the Nine-Tails sealed within Feng's body suddenly awoke from its slumber as if sensing something, and looked around.

"Why did I feel the old man's presence just now?"

"Sigh, it must be from spending too much time with humans that she's picked up this sentimental habit. The old man has been dead for so many years, and she still thinks about him."

Nine-Tails Fox muttered to itself for a while, then suddenly remembered that there was something important it hadn't been asked of Feng.

"Clang!"

It slammed its paw against the barrier formed by the seal.

"Hey, Feng, what's with those people you met the other day who claimed to be from the future?"

It wasn't a good time to ask while they were fighting, and later when it was possible to ask, either Feng was busy or he had fallen asleep and forgotten.

Now, because the old man suddenly woke up and remembered this matter, and Feng wasn't busy, it was the perfect time to ask him about it.

"Kurama? Heh, you haven't asked for so long, I thought you didn't want to ask anymore."

Upon hearing this, Feng laughed and teased.

"Urusay! How could I forget? I just didn't want to bother you because you were busy. Don't be ungrateful."

"Alright, alright, you haven't forgotten." Feng quickly coaxed. "The first of those people you mentioned is called Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, a member of the Kaguya Otsutsuki clan, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths."

At this point, Feng paused, considering how much to tell Nine-Tails.

"Because Kaguya never brought the Chakra Fruit back with her, Urashiki, a member of the clan, will descend upon the Ninja World in about twenty years to investigate the situation."

That guy was dealt with by my future self in the future. Knowing he couldn't get revenge, he tried to travel to the past, to find my present self, to seek revenge.

Hehe, but I never expected that I would be someone he couldn't handle now.

And the people who appeared later, as you probably heard, introduced themselves; they were our juniors and their bodyguards, so I won't go into details."

He didn't hide anything from Urashiki and briefly explained the situation.

However, regarding Naruto and Sasuke, since it involves the reincarnations of Asura and Indra, it directly implicates the Sage of Six Paths. Feng is afraid that if he says too much, the Elder will discover something.

Little did he know, the old man had been watching him from right beside him.

"Chakra Fruit? The Chakra God Tree, Ten-Tails!?"

Nine-Tails Fox grasped the key point in Feng's words, since it was closely related to her life.

"Right..."

Next, Feng casually explained to Nine-Tails what the God Tree God Tree was and why the Ōtsutsuki Clan planted it, while simultaneously surveying the ground.

How did he know all that the Nine-Tails asked?

It's been said before that I've predicted the future countless times; knowing the future is perfectly normal!

Autumn has passed and winter has arrived; three months have gone by in the blink of an eye.

The time had come when the war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure had ended. When the battle report was delivered to Capital of the Land of Wind, he simply replied, "I know," and then paid no further attention.

As long as they don't cause trouble in the Land of Whirlpools, Feng doesn't have time to deal with them right now.

For the past three months, he has been flying back and forth between the Capital of the Land of Wind and Sunagakure.

Compared to the railway that the Land of Snow used to build, which was time-consuming and laborious to construct by carrying things on people's shoulders.

The first railway under Feng's command will involve a large number of ninjas, as well as a group of special technical ninjas who graduated from the Ninja Academy of Kirigakure and Merchant Ninja Village.

This is all a first time, and there will inevitably be many problems to solve along the way.

For example, the second person in charge besides Feng is the newly joined technical expert Kazahana Dōtō, while the people who are ordered to do things are his confidant Kentaro Uchiha and some other Uchiha clan members. How could they possibly obey Kazahana Dōtō's management?

Furthermore, some ninjas who had followed Feng for many years were unhappy that they would have to become factory workers like ordinary people. However, some newcomers who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy and were trained as technical ninjas were overjoyed. They were guaranteed job placement after graduation, and it wasn't even a dangerous job involving bloodshed. Wasn't this a great opportunity?

Furthermore, with a large group of ordinary workers facing a group of ninjas who are usually high and mighty, they have to be extremely careful in everything they do, for fear of offending any of the ninjas and bringing about their own demise, which seriously hinders their work enthusiasm and motivation.

In short, it's a complete mess. If Feng doesn't personally oversee things, no one else can get this group of people to focus their efforts on one goal.

Thanks to Feng's personal supervision, the railway to the Capital of the Land of Wind, Sunagakure, is progressing rapidly and is almost complete in just three months.

But just as the railway was nearing completion,

"Master, something terrible has happened! A super sandstorm is coming!" Maki, a Jonin from Sunagakure who served as the face of the capital, suddenly rushed to Feng at the construction site.

Upon hearing this, Feng frowned and looked up at the sky, but nothing appeared. The sun was as scorching as ever, its heat stinging the skin.

It was fortunate that the construction team had a large number of ninjas who used Water Release, Ice Release, and Earth Release techniques in turn; otherwise, at least ten thousand people would have died on this railway.

Are you sure?

But he still asked again with a serious expression.

Sandstorms are common in the desert, and Feng had encountered them many times before, but his Genin destroyed them all with Wind Release or Fire Release.

But if it's a super sandstorm... then even regular ninjas facing such overwhelming power can only run for their lives.

Baki: "Ninety percent! Many people in the capital have noticed it and discovered the signs."

"Okay, I understand." Feng nodded. "Dotō, tell everyone to call it a day and return to camp. Taro, arrange for ninjas skilled in Earth Release to cover up the newly constructed railway."

Actually, he could have used Susanoo to try and destroy the super sandstorm.

But since a little more time wouldn't make a difference, there was no need to risk the lives of his men to test the strength of Heaven's might.
