Kushina smiled and took the flowers, while Ino naturally rolled up his sleeves and helped arrange the snacks on the table.
After a while, Ino walked up to Naruto carrying refreshments,
The two chatted for a few words, and Ino laughed, with his golden ponytail dangling in the sun.
Kushina accidentally caught sight of this scene and his smile froze.
She observed calmly for a while and found that Ino looked at Naruto with the same eyes as Hinata Karin.
The hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly, and my heart skipped a beat.
Kushina I just feel like the sky is falling.
It's over, my son is a playboy.
After the dinner, everyone dispersed one after another, and the yard became quiet again.
Kushina put away the tea set, then walked up to Naruto, and began to preach to Naruto with a serious face:
"Naruto, you have to be serious about your relationship and don't hurt a girl's heart."
"Hinata likes you, Karin likes you, Ino also likes you."
"Did you notice anything?"
"Don't worry, don't hurt girls' feelings, this is the most basic bottom line for a man."
Naruto sighed inwardly after hearing this.
"Got it!"
He didn't refute, just nodded.
Kushina looked at Naruto's calm appearance and sighed inwardly. He didn't know if Naruto had listened or was perfunctory.
Two days later.
With a burst of space fluctuations, Naruto appeared in Otogakure.
Orochimaru I have been waiting for a long time.
"Naruto-kun, you are here."
Orochimaru's hoarse voice was filled with a hint of uncertainty.
"Orochimaru, are you interested in going shopping with me at Shinobi World?"
Orochimaru's eyes lit up.
What does it mean?
Is this a prelude to the unification of Shinobi World?
Then he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Then Orochimaru straightened out Otogakure's affairs as quickly as possible and temporarily handed over the daily management rights to a few confidants.
After everything was arranged, he put on his cloak and left Sound Country with Naruto.
"How are Orochimaru, Sasuke?"
Naruto asked casually on the way.
"Sasuke is still completing the trial mission I assigned him and will not return to Otogakure in the short term."
Naruto nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Naruto-kun Where is the destination of our trip?"
Naruto thought for a while and said, "I plan to go around Shinobi World, so let's start with Wind Country!"
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
Wind Country, Sunagakure.
Then Orochimaru continued to ask, "I wonder how Naruto-kun plans to unify Shinobi World?"
Naruto heard this and took out System Scroll from the ninja bag and threw it to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru caught the scroll and unfolded it, and his pupils shrank when he saw the content on it.
The content on the scroll was much larger than he expected, including land reform, popularization of education, civilianization of Ninjutsu, abolition of Daimyo System, joint parliament, unification of laws, and standardization of language and writing.
When Orochimaru looked up again after reading the entire scroll, the excitement in his eyes was a little stronger than before.
"If this system is implemented according to Naruto-kun, it is indeed possible for Shinobi World to achieve real peace."
"But this system is almost challenging the entire old order of Shinobi World. The famous names of Five Great Nations will not sit still and wait for death, and the vested interests of the major families will fight to the death."
"Once the reform begins, it will inevitably be followed by bloodshed and many people will die."
Naruto smiled, "I don't care about the bad reputation, as long as I can completely reform Shinobi World."
"Naruto-kun is really different."
Orochimaru heard this and closed the scroll, his voice filled with a hint of heartfelt admiration:
"Back then, Hashirama Senju ended Warring States Era and established Shinobi Village System, but neither of them broke out of the framework of the old era."
"Shinobi Village System essentially just moved the war from between families to between countries. The daimyo is still superior and ninjas are still tools."
"And the Naruto-kun system directly overturns the entire framework."
"This is no longer a war between ninjas, this is creating a brand new world."
"But why did Naruto-kun not retain the original culture after reunification, but implement a brand new cultural system?"
"Only by forgetting the past can we achieve true peace."
Orochimaru nodded and said nothing more.
The two of them chatted while walking, from system construction to cultural inheritance, from the history of Daimyo System to the origin of ninjas.
Orochimaru discovered that Naruto's understanding of Shinobi World's history was far beyond his expectation. Even he only had a vague understanding of many things, but Naruto could accurately point out the causes and consequences.
This made him even more convinced that Naruto-kun was not an ordinary person.
Soon the two of them crossed the border between Fire Country and Wind Country.
The scenery before us gradually transitions from lush virgin forest to sparse low shrubs, and beyond that is the endless golden sand dunes.
The wind and sand blow against my face, bringing with it the dry and hot smell of the desert.
Soon Wind Country arrived.
The outline of Sunagakure can be vaguely seen on the distant horizon.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the familiar sea of sand, with a vague arc at the corner of his mouth.
Sunagakure, Kazekage's Office.
Gaara closed a document and gently pressed the center of his eyebrows with his fingertips.
Then he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the window, Sunagakure saw the same yellow sand and scorching sun as always. Villagers wrapped in headscarves were walking through the streets, and several children were chasing and playing on the sand. The splashes of sand and dust shone golden in the sun.
Compared with when Konoha Crush Plan just ended, the village has regained a lot of vitality, but it still has a long way to go before it is truly prosperous.
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind him without warning, "Long time no see, Gaara."
Gaara's pupils shrank, and the moment he turned around, sand poured out from the gourd behind him, forming a semi-arc defensive wall in front of him.
Then he saw a man with black hair, black eyes, and a white trench coat standing in front of his office, with a calm smile on his lips.
"Naruto?"
Gaara waved his hand to disperse the sand, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
His sensory sand is spread throughout the Kazekage building. Any unannounced intruder will be discovered immediately, and Naruto appears behind him silently.
But when you think about Naruto, Space-Time Ninjutsu, Gaara, it becomes clear!
Looking at Naruto's new appearance, Gaara couldn't help but ask:
"How did you become like this?"
"Something happened to the body, so that's it!"
Naruto walked to the opposite side of Gaara's desk and sat down. "Congratulations on becoming Kazekage."
Gaara also came to the desk, poured a glass of water for Naruto, and said in a calm tone, "It happened a few months ago."
"After Sunagakure and Konoha formed an alliance, the Elders Council elected me to succeed Kazekage."
"Speaking of which, I want to thank you. You arrested Raikage at the border. Because of the alliance with Konoha, Sunagakure's words gained some weight in Five Great Nations's diplomatic situations."
Naruto smiles.
The two briefly reminisced about old times, and then Gaara changed the topic and got to the point. "Naruto You suddenly came to Sunagakure, isn't it just to reminisce about old times?"
Naruto smiled and asked, "Do you still remember what I said before?"
Gaara nodded.
Of course he remembers.
In Forest of Death, what Naruto said to him about changing Shinobi World after helping him seal Shukaku.
He has never forgotten these words, and even thought of them more frequently after taking office as Kazekage.
"So what's your answer?"
Gaara was silent and did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Naruto, do you have any specific plans?"
Hearing this, Naruto took out System Scroll from the ninja bag and handed it to Gaara.
