Chapter 59 Travels

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage was a little confused looking at the report in front of him.

He was still thinking a few days ago that it would be nice if Uchiha Natsuki wasn't here.

Today, on his desk, Uchiha Natsuki's application for traveling out of the village appeared.

Uchiha is still nominally part of the Leaf Village, so if he wants to leave the village for a long time, he must have the consent of the Hokage himself.

After all, Natsuki was also a jounin before.

The excuse Xia Mu used was also very interesting. He said that he needed to go to various places to collect materials and develop new dishes.

This reason that makes people think it's nonsense at first hearing is actually quite convincing. Now Uchiha has entered a stage of rapid development.

It is because it has a large amount of capital injection, and the inventor behind [Chinese cuisine] is most likely Xia Mu.

It was impossible to refuse, and the third generation could not find any reason to refuse. Now the ninja world is gradually becoming more stable.

Except for the great turmoil in the country of Water, other countries are vigorously developing their economies.

And Xia Mu can submit an application, which is already a great honor.

Even if Natsuki sneaks out of the village, there is nothing you, the Third Hokage, can do against him.

…

Uchiha clan land.

Natsuki was still packing her bags, so naturally she didn't know that the third Hokage actually believed her random reason.

In this world, it is very convenient to carry things. After all, there is such a thing as a storage scroll.

Xia Mu, on the other hand, knows how to escape from fire, so it is very simple to make fire and eat.

Without water attribute chakra, Natsuki has not learned water escape for the time being.

After all, the water used in Water Escape will disappear. At most, it will be easier to find the water source.

If you have the time, why not just prepare some drinking water.

Because he would be away for a long time, Natsuki specially invited Naruto and Sasuke to eat Jiichiraku Ramen together.

When Naruto learned that Natsuki was leaving the village, he almost didn't finish his ramen.

After all, Xiamu is already the most important person in his life. It was Xiamu who brought him light two years ago. Since he met Teacher Xiamu, his life has become better and better.

Not to mention that he had worshiped Xia Mu as his teacher before, but Xia Mu was about to leave in such a short time.

Naruto's eyes were all red and he almost cried.

Natsuki didn't expect Naruto to be so clingy to him.

Touched Naruto's head: "It's okay, I just left the village for a little longer, it's not like I won't come back."

"Now is the time for you and Sasuke to lay the foundation. You must learn the things in the ninja school carefully. You will use them in the future. I will try my best to come back before you graduate."

Naruto wiped his eyes and nodded seriously.

Sasuke next to him was a little bit annoyed when he saw Naruto reluctant to leave Natsuki.

However, Natsuki was his teacher and had a closer relationship than Naruto. Thinking about it this way, Sasuke figured it out.

Natsuki informed him of the news earlier, and Sasuke was mentally prepared for it, but he didn't feel so sad.

Natsuki lowered his voice and said to Naruto: "Naruto, I have handed over the future training plans of you and Sasuke to Sasuke. When you come back, show it to me. If you don't understand anything, just ask your Uncle Fugaku." ?"

Naruto didn't expect that Teacher Natsuki had even arranged these, and he nodded repeatedly in emotion.

Sasuke was a little excited at the thought of being able to be Naruto's teacher again.

…

The next day, at the entrance of Konoha Village.

Natsuki's back was stretched very long.

There were many people standing behind to see him off, most of whom were Uchiha restaurant owners. Natsuki, the deputy clan leader, had solved many problems for Uchiha.

The happiness index of the Uchiha people increased exponentially.

The Hyuga clan, Hizu and Hizashi also came. For them, no matter if it was Uchiha who handed over the power of the police force to them, Natsuki also saved the Hyuga clan from annihilation.

The deepening cooperation has made the Hyuga clan and Uchiha as close as one family.

But the Third Hokage stood on the wall of Konoha. Seeing Natsuki walk away, he felt relieved.

…

a cave

There are several illusory figures standing on the stone pillars.

"Chief, this technique of yours is really easy to use. You can have conversations from any distance. It's really an art, hmm!" one of the voices said in an exaggerated tone.

But several people present ignored him.

Payne, who was standing at the front with a pair of reincarnation eyes, said calmly.

"We still need more people to realize our ideals."

After Payne said this, he set the tone for the meeting.

Xiaonan continued: "A lot of resources are needed to realize the plan."

"Kakuzu, you are in charge of finance, what do you think?"

Kakuzu was completely hidden in the darkness: "We are so powerful that we can sweep the entire black market."

"But recently I found another place where there may be a lot of money."

"Tian Country, Sound Ninja Village. There is delicious food everywhere in Tian Country called [Chinese Cuisine]. I don't know how much money it makes, but the source is in Sound Ninja Village."

Hearing Kakuzu's words, Xia sneered: "Don't you know that is Orochimaru's territory?"

"It's just Orochimaru, a lost dog."

Kakuzu was not afraid of this so-called one of the three ninjas.

Because of Itachi's beard cutting, Orochimaru, who had already glimpsed the future, did not enter Akatsuki. The Akatsuki organization also doesn't know what Orochimaru's abilities are.

For them, Orochimaru, who has gradually disappeared over the years, does not have much deterrence.

The two halves of the aloe leaf-like shadow opened, and Zetsu said: "Orochimaru is nothing special, but there are Uchiha Itachi, a strong man with the Mangekyō Sharingan, and more than a hundred Uchiha elites there."

"The current Sound Village is not a place you can go to casually."

Kakuzu snorted coldly. People who have lived from the Warring States period to the present naturally know how powerful the Mangekyō Sharingan is.

Seeing that Kakuzu was silent, Zetsu said: "Although we can't go to the Sound Village, we can go find another person, Uchiha Natsuki."

"Who is that?" Kakuzu didn't know this Uchiha who rose like a comet.

"Uchiha Natsuki, the current deputy head of the Uchiha clan, a powerful mangekyō Sharingan, overpowered the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki Killer Bee, and made the entire Kumogakure look ashamed."

"He is a late bloomer. Uchiha Itachi awakened his Mangekyō at the age of eleven, while Natsuki did not awaken until he was twenty. But what really makes him great is his business talent."

"The [Chinese cuisine] in the Sound Village is probably created by Uchiha Natsuki."

"In Konoha, all the Uchiha are doing this business, and the Uchiha clan is now rich."

Konan stood in the light and shadow, her face expressionless, but she was thinking inside. Her previous understanding of Natsuki was limited to knowing that he was a powerful mangekyō Sharingan.

I didn't expect that the [Chinese cuisine] that was popular throughout the ninja world might actually be his work.

If Uchiha Natsuki could be pulled into the Akatsuki organization, it would be a great help.

Damn Zetsu, how much information is still not revealed?

"Maybe we can bring him into the organization." Xiaonan said.

Jue chuckled: "That's a coincidence. Uchiha Xiamu has just left Konoha Village and is on his way to travel. It's easy to find."

"Others, continue to look for suitable people. Xiaonan will go to meet Uchiha Xiamu." Nagato gave the order directly.

Then the light and shadow disappeared.
