Chapter 219 A New Journey
Chōjūrō, you're slacking off again.
In the original Hidden Mist Village, Ao arrived at Chōjūrō's office, pushed open the door, and saw Chōjūrō sleeping with his head on the desk.
He walked over, somewhat helplessly, and nudged him, "Get up. You still have a lot of things to do. The country is in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt. Is it appropriate for you to be like this?"
"Why isn't it appropriate? I'm practically numb."
Chōjūrō was full of resentment, "Look at how many things I need to do!"
"Let's not even mention other things; just promoting a single written language almost killed me."
"Isn't this your own choice?"
"Can't I regret it?"
Chōjūrō roared, "Lady Mei Terumī is having a comfortable life now, but I'm suffering."
Seeing Chōjūrō about to lose his temper, Ao could only comfort him, "Don't panic, and don't get angry. I have some good news to tell you."
"Good news?"
Chōjūrō slowly sat down, staring coolly at Ao, "At this point, not dying from overwork is good news. Where would good news come from?"
"Here."
"An invitation? Whose?"
"Lady Mei Terumī's. She said she's holding her wedding in Konoha City and invited us to attend."
Chōjūrō: "..."
I'm tired!
Let it all be destroyed!
"Oh, right, this is a good opportunity to rest. A lot of people are getting married recently."
"Who else?"
"I know of several couples, but in Konoha Village, it's just Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi."
... "Big Brother, Master, wait for me!"
Naruto, who was leisurely walking along the road, was organizing his thoughts, preparing to set off after settling some matters in the Ninja World.
He vaguely heard someone calling him from behind, turned his head, and chuckled.
Isn't that Konohamaru, that kid?
Ever since inheriting his Sexy Technique, this little guy has been far ahead on that path.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Konohamaru for several days, had he?
What could Konohamaru want from him at this time?
"Big Brother, you're really a busy man; it's often hard to find you."
"Is there something wrong? Did your Sexy Technique develop a new function?"
"Of course! Who am I? My grandfather is the Third Hokage, and my Big Brother is a Daimyō—no, an Emperor!"
"Can I disgrace you? No!"
Konohamaru was beaming with excitement.
Naruto rubbed his forehead.
If the Third Hokage knew about this scene, would he jump out of his coffin?
"Oh, right, Big Brother Naruto, are you coming to Asuma's wedding?"
Konohamaru looked at Naruto expectantly.
He was no longer a child, and he vaguely knew about the past events.
Asuma said there was no need to pursue the matter.
Right or wrong, it's up to each person's heart.
Just be yourself and follow your true nature.
Konohamaru thought that was excellent.
He also knew that Big Brother Naruto would not have killed his Grandpa Third Hokage back then.
Meeting Konohamaru's hopeful gaze, Narutothought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, remember to give me an invitation then."
"Here!"
Konohamaru quickly pulled out an invitation from his ninja pouch.
Seeing this, Naruto smiled.
This guy was well-prepared.
"Okay, I'll definitely be there on time."
Taking the invitation, Naruto shook it in his hand.
That's good.
He could go with Hinata.
What he liked most was the feeling of those big banquets in the countryside back then.
Hotels were nice, but they felt a bit restrictive... After eating and drinking to their fill.
"I say, Shukaku, will we also go down the path of colonizing planets in the future?"
In the dimension, looking at the growing seedling of the Divine Tree, Isobu whispered, "This place is too strange. Even the Divine Tree can grow vigorously."
"What's so strange about that?"
Didn't the Gedo Statue successfully revive back then?
As for colonizing planets... Shukaku shook his head, "Naruto isn't that kind of person, and he's not interested in doing such things."
Isobu nodded.
He thought so too.
In fact, by observing Naruto's every action, one could tell that he preferred to win people over with virtue.
If you weren't willing to reason, then he would show his strength.
That's how the Ninja World was unified.
It's conceivable that if there really were other civilizations, Naruto would probably still follow the current model.
"Putting everything else aside, I'm just curious about what's behind that door right now."
"Naruto has already decided to go in and explore, so we'll know very soon."
"They're coming, they're coming!"
Son Gokū rubbed his fists, waving the staff in his hand and laughing loudly, "I can't wait."
"Me too."
Shukaku wore a hard hat.
An excited heart, trembling hands.
This moment was finally arriving; they would finally know what was behind the door.
As for encountering enemies they couldn't defeat, it was still the same saying: if they couldn't win, couldn't they still escape?
With Naruto's Flying Thunder God and substitution abilities, it would be hard for him to even die... "Kushina, don't worry. Naruto has his own path to walk, and we have ours."
Minato Namikaze walked over and embraced Uzumaki Kushina, who was full of worry.
They knew what Naruto was going to do from the beginning.
They were also very curious about what was behind the door.
"That's right, Minato and Kushina, don't just stand there. Come and make a bet."
Senju Hashirama waved, "Naruto's strength has long surpassed ours by too much; there's no need to worry excessively."
"Hashirama, let's fight."
Uchiha Madara approached, staring menacingly at Senju Hashirama.
Senju Hashirama: "..."
"Ah, Naruto, just throw him out~"
Naruto picked his ear and curled his lips.
In the dimension, he naturally knew what he wanted to know.
One could only say that these two loved and hated each other.
"Naruto!"
Hinata tugged at Naruto's sleeve, her eyes fixed on Naruto: 'Can you really not take me with you?'
"Be good. I'm not sure how dangerous this will be. I'll come back for you once I'm settled."
Hinata fell silent, then stood on tiptoe, suppressing her shyness, and pulled hard.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, waved a hand, and cut off all perception... "Naruto, I suddenly find you a bit different?"
Outside the door, the Nine-Tailed strangely circled Naruto a few times: 'This is just like Uzumaki Kushina and Minato Namikaze back then.'
Suddenly,
The Nine-Tailed was startled: "Don't tell me you two..."
"Damn it!"
Naruto gave the startled Nine-Tailed an exasperated look and no longer paid attention to the lively character.
He stretched, a slight smile on his lips as he recalled the earlier craziness, and gently walked forward.
He stepped into it.
"Wait for me!"
Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed was about to fall asleep but suddenly stopped. "Oh, right, I'm essentially still inside Naruto, so there's no need to chase."
The Nine-Tailed slapped its forehead, leisurely returned to the ground, lay down, and waited for Naruto's summons.
The other Tailed Beasts also gathered around, silently watching the unchanging large door before them...
