Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

Zhili held Chongming's body tightly, feeling the unprecedented stimulation and pleasure.

Tsunade and Nono watched this scene from the ground, their faces showing envy.

However, after playing for a while, Zhili let the Seven-Tailed Fox fly down.

"Hurry up, didn't you say you wanted to get to the next place as soon as possible?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade and Nono excitedly ran to the Seven-Tails' side, ready to board the plane.

Xingliu smiled slightly upon seeing this, and then followed in their footsteps.

That's all for today. Only 12 chapters left, brother. I wasn't feeling up to par today, I'm just too exhausted. (orz)

Chapter 130 Something Strange Has Happened

Xingliu and the others rode on the Seven-Tailed Fox together, traversing the vast land at an astonishing speed, and soon arrived in front of a quiet town.

Originally, they planned to land directly in the town, which would be convenient and quick.

But at this moment, Nono carefully reminded him:

"The Seven-Tails' appearance might be too eye-catching. We'd better get off some distance from the town and walk in."

Xingliu agreed with this. Although he could ignore what others were saying, he didn't need to cause unnecessary trouble because of his actions.

So he nodded, signaling Nanami to stop some distance from the town.

After receiving the command, the Seven-Tails slowly descended and finally landed smoothly in a secluded grove of trees.

Xingliu and the others jumped off the Seven-Tailed Fox's back, patted its huge body, and then walked towards the town.

After they left, Chongming kept watching Zhili's back until he could no longer see them, then he turned into smoke and disappeared.

Upon entering the town, Tsunade rushed in with great enthusiasm, eager to see a scene different from Konoha.

However, the scene before her eyes left her somewhat disappointed.

The town's streets were narrow and deserted, the buildings on both sides looked dilapidated, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the streets and alleys lacked vitality.

Tsunade looked around and found that the place was not as lively and prosperous as she had imagined; instead, it exuded a desolate and gloomy atmosphere.

Tsunade frowned. She had thought she would see a wider world and experience more local customs during this mission, but the small town in front of her made her feel somewhat frustrated.

Xingliu looked around, a look of surprise on his face.

He truly couldn't understand why this small town, not far from Konoha, was so desolate.

Logically speaking, a place so close to Konoha should be relatively safe.

Furthermore, due to the abilities Konoha demonstrated in the last Chunin Exams, many people from all over the country will come to request missions, which will also boost the economic development of the surrounding areas.

Therefore, this town should theoretically be quite prosperous and vibrant.

However, the scene before him was quite different from what Xingliu had expected.

This left Xingliu very confused, wondering what exactly was going on.

If he didn't understand, the three women certainly didn't understand either.

Zhili looked at Xingliu, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

She was also full of curiosity and longing for the outside world, but the scene before her made her feel somewhat frustrated.

She couldn't help but ask, "Xingliu, is the outside world like this?"

Xingliu remained silent for a while after hearing this.

He knew that the three girls had grown up in Konoha and didn't know much about the outside world.

Furthermore, as princesses and granddaughters of the family, Tsunade and Osamu have a rather vague concept of money. It's not that they're not short of money, but rather that they're not interested in it.

Only Nono might know about this situation, but she hasn't experienced much hardship herself.

After thinking for a while, Xingliu decided to tell the truth.

Although he was with them on this trip, they would still face many unknown situations and difficulties.

If we don't prepare them mentally now, it might be even harder for them to accept later.

So he slowly said, "The situation here is probably not too bad."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade and the others wore expressions of disbelief.

But then he changed the subject:

"But something is also wrong here."

As he spoke, he shared his analysis with the women.

Seeing their thoughtful expressions, Xingliu added:

"This place is also considered the face of our Konoha. It's not good to just leave it unattended. Why don't we go in and investigate first?"

Xingliu said, and took the lead in walking forward.

The three women followed closely behind, and the group walked slowly along the streets of the small town.

The streets of the small town were deserted and desolate, and the buildings on both sides were dilapidated, as if they had endured a long period of time.

Pedestrians were few and far between, and the few who did pass by hurriedly appeared expressionless.

As Xingliu walked, he observed his surroundings.

He noticed that most of the shops in the town were closed, with their doors and windows tightly shut.

Under the guidance of Seiryu, Tsunade and the others carefully observed their surroundings.

They gradually realized that something was indeed wrong with this town.

Not only were there few people on the streets, but the buildings and shops also lacked vitality.

After walking for a while, the group arrived at a hotel.

Xingliu looked at the hotel entrance and saw a shabby sign that read "Welcome".

He pushed open the door and went inside, followed by the three women.

Upon entering, Xingliu realized that the dilapidated sign outside was probably the newest thing in the hotel.

The hotel's interior was dark and old, as if it had stood for countless years.

The mottled marks on the walls and the dilapidated decorations exuded an atmosphere of desolation and decay.

However, contrary to its dilapidated appearance, the hotel's interior was surprisingly clean.

Just then, a kind-looking old lady walked over.

"Welcome, everyone. Are you looking for a room?"

Xingliu glanced at the three women and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

It's still early, and they could have continued for a while longer.

But since we've already decided to investigate this town in depth, staying here for a while is clearly a wiser choice.

Moreover, the appearance of this old lady provided them with a good starting point for their investigation.

"Okay, please prepare a few rooms for us," Xingliu replied politely.

The old lady nodded and turned to lead the way.

Just as they followed the old lady into the hotel, Xingliu keenly caught a fleeting glimpse of something unusual on her face.

He asked tentatively, "What happened here? Why is it so desolate?"

This question seemed to touch a nerve with the old lady.

She suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared intently at Xingliu and the others.

They were somewhat surprised when they noticed the ferocious expression on her face and the angry look in her eyes.

The old woman stared intently at them, as if trying to confirm their identities.

When she noticed the Konoha headbands worn by Xingliu and the others, her anger erupted instantly.

"Get out of here! We don't accept Konoha ninjas here!"

Her voice was filled with hostility and resentment, as if she had a deep grudge against Konoha.

Xingliu was taken aback by the old lady's strong reaction, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked deeply at the old woman, then slowly said:

"We're sorry, we meant no harm. We just wanted to know what happened here and see if we could help."

The old lady's expression softened slightly upon hearing this.

She stared at Xingliu for a moment, then sighed and said:

"You should leave. This is none of your business."

Chapter 131 Approaching the Answer

After being kicked out of the hotel by the old lady, Xingliu and his friends were caught off guard and stood silently facing each other on the deserted streets of the town.

An awkward atmosphere permeated the air, as their investigation, which they had hoped to conduct, had already hit a wall just as it began.

Xingliu frowned in deep thought, recalling his conversation with the old woman and trying to find some clues.

He could clearly sense that the old man revealed an extremely complex emotion the moment he saw their headbands.

That emotion contained both obvious hostility and hatred, yet it also seemed to conceal some deep expectation, as if it were a contradictory psychological struggle.

"It seems we're not very popular here."

Tsunade broke the silence, her tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.

Just then, Nono suddenly spoke up:

"However, did you notice that although that old lady had a deep prejudice against Konoha, she thought that she was doing us a favor by driving us away?"

Upon hearing Nonou's words, both Seiryu and Tsunade looked at her.

Nonou has always had a keen eye for observation, which may be one of the reasons why she later became a titled spy.

And this time, she did not disappoint them either.
