Naruto, Hinata, and Karin,
Qi Yunxiao and Xin Ruoyin,
along with the Five Clones of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth,
all lived in the same group of cave dwellings, each with different duties:
pill refining, talisman making, artifact refining, formation setup, insect raising, and beast rearing.
Basically, everyone had something to do.
If anyone truly had nothing to do, they were responsible for buying supplies at the nearby market.
Because Han Li harbored the secret of the Little Green Bottle, he chose a secluded corner of Little Ring Island to establish his cave dwelling.
Then everyone began their monotonous years of cultivation.
Naruto and the others, along with Han Li, spent a very long time cultivating!
As the saying went, time meant nothing in cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years passed.
Over those long years, Naruto and the others truly never stepped outside their cave dwellings, nor did they appear before the island's residents again.
Life on Little Ring Island remained unaffected by the presence of Naruto and the other immortal masters.
The fishermen kept fishing, and the farmers kept farming!
Of course, the two once clearly visible mountain peaks became shrouded in thick white mist, their outlines indistinct.
At first, Little Ring Island's mortal residents found this somewhat difficult to get used to.
But as the years passed, the townspeople grew accustomed to the sight and stopped paying it any attention.
Still, the adults in town warned their mischievous children never to approach the white mist around those peaks.
Anyone who stepped inside would lose all sense of direction and be unable to find their way out.
Only after being trapped for several days, enduring considerable hardship, and shouting "Immortal Master Naruto!" several times would a path appear, allowing them to escape.
