Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 61 Arrived at the Wrong Time

"Wood Release... what a powerful and practical bloodline limit!"

Looking at the brand-new building that had sprung up from the ground, Ai sighed with emotion.

"Hey! Look! What's that?"

"Wood Release... can be used to build houses?"

On the wide platform on the surrounding mountainside, people stared in awe at the towering pavilion that had suddenly appeared.

"What a beautiful building! Is this Konoha's architectural style?"

"It looks so grand..."

"If they had that capability, wouldn't they be able to become the largest construction contractor?"

"Are you crazy? That's Naruto-sama! His album sales alone are enough to make him live a life of luxury!"

"You're not much better than him..."

The crowd was noisy, and the Uchiha clan members who followed behind Naruto were also stunned.

"call--"

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief: "It's ready to move in now, but the water supply and bathroom fixtures need to be installed separately. As long as the main beam isn't affected, the internal structure can be modified as needed. I've reserved enough space."

This was the first time he had used Wood Release to build a house, but even a hundred-meter-high building made him feel somewhat tired.

Unlike combat ninjutsu, the Four Pillars Techniques require a higher level of chakra control, which explains why Yamato looked like he had been completely drained after building a street.

"This is the Wood Release: One that once quelled the chaos of the world..."

The Eighth Generation's eyes were filled with amazement. How much chakra must a hundred-meter-tall building that surrounds an entire mountain peak require?

"Wow, that's impressive! No wonder he's my little brother, hahaha..."

Ai laughed loudly, mentally calculating what excuse he could use to smash up the Raikage Building and force Naruto to build a new one...

Turning to look at the Uchiha clan members led by Uchiha Mikoto, I saw pride, unease, and bewilderment on their faces, as well as ordinary clan members who hadn't even figured out what was going on.

"From today onwards, the Uchiha are members of Kumogakure!"

Ai grinned broadly: "Unlike Konoha, Kumogakure would never betray its own brothers! I swear to you in the name of the Raikage! The Uchiha will always be a part of Kumogakure!"

"Um...excuse me, Lord Raikage..."

Among the crowd, an elderly Uchiha man who was not a ninja looked puzzled.

"Although the clan chief summoned us, I, this old man, still don't quite understand what happened."

"Yeah, what's going on? They suddenly showed up in Kumogakure."

"By the way, where is Clan Chief Fugaku?"

A commotion erupted among the crowd, with nearly half of the Uchiha clan members still confused about what had happened.

If it weren't for Uchiha Mikoto, the clan head's wife, and the core ninjas led by the Eighth Hokage, they would have rioted long ago.

Ai looked at Yashiro: "It seems there are still many people who don't understand the situation."

"I apologize, Lord Raikage."

Yashiro sighed: "The more people know about this, the greater the risk, so many clansmen were not prepared and suffered considerable losses."

"It's alright, the losses can be made up by Cloud Village!"

Ai waved his hand generously, not being stingy at all, since the money was coming from Da Ming anyway.

The current Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is a rare monarch with vision and talent, and has consistently provided substantial financial support for the development of Kumogakure.

Not to mention that the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Lightning was a long-time client of the Uchiha clan...

"In that case, let me explain it to you."

Ai glanced around: "For months now, the higher-ups in Konoha have been in contact with Kumogakure, hoping to exchange their resources for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, my younger brother, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Cutting off profits..."

Among the crowd, some of the older Uchiha clan members seemed to have realized something.

"That's right! My demand is the corpses of your Uchiha clan leader and the clan's geniuses."

Ai sneered as he spoke, "Of course, just like I said, Yunyin would never betray its own people, and my goal is not just a few corpses. I think you all understand now..."

"I sent someone to inform the Uchiha clan of this matter. Your clan leader left the decision of whether the Uchiha should stay or leave to Konoha, and this is Konoha's choice!"

"Those damn bastards!"

In the crowd, an Uchiha clansman spat: "I told you long ago, we should have struck first and killed those bastards in the village!"

"You're going too far, Iwatsu! Targeting the Uchiha was a decision made by the higher-ups; the villagers are innocent!"

The older Uchiha frowned, finding it hard to accept the extremes of his clansmen.

"All we need to do is wipe out those few families!"

Ai: "..."

Looking at the excited crowd before him, some of whom even had their eyes opened by the sight of the Uchiha clan, he could roughly understand why the Konoha leadership was so wary of the Uchiha.

Even a reckless man like him felt it was a bit too extreme…

However, being straightforward is better than being two-faced and harboring malicious intentions.

The Hidden Cloud Village isn't afraid of brutes; even the women in this village are reckless. The Uchiha's personality is actually quite to his liking.

"Alright, hurry up and settle your people down. We'll discuss the specifics when your chief returns."

"Thank you for your help, Raikage-sama, and also Naruto."

Mikoto looked at Naruto with gentle eyes.

She wanted to tell Naruto, "I am your mother's friend, and I want to apologize for not being able to take care of you because of the Uchiha's circumstances."

But in the end, she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Naruto is no longer the fox demon brat who was looked down upon in Konoha.

He is currently wearing a short divine robe made of expensive and exquisite materials. His identity is the future Fifth Raikage. He enjoys the respect and love of the Cloud Village ninjas and is powerful enough to destroy an entire ninja village by himself.

We no longer need this belated care.

Although he's no longer in Konoha, he's grown up very well, and not only that, he even rescued the Uchiha from that dangerous situation...

He will grow into an excellent man, Kushina…

"Mother…"

The black-haired, black-eyed boy hid behind Mikoto, secretly observing Naruto.

"This is Sasuke."

Mikoto smiled and pushed Sasuke in front of her: "Sasuke, this is Naruto Uzumaki. Say hello, Sasuke?"

"Hello...

Sasuke scratched his cheek and turned his head away shyly.

For some reason, he felt a little annoyed by the blond-haired man in front of him, but also a little concerned about him.

And... this guy seems to be quite strong.

"Hello there."

Naruto nodded with a smile. He planned to make the Sunny Pillar a pillar of strength, so he naturally wouldn't hold back his smile.

"I hope you two can become good friends..."

Mikoto smiled, her eyes slightly red: "I'm busy today, but once I'm settled in, Naruto, you're welcome to come visit anytime."

"Then I won't bother you any longer."

Naruto nodded and turned to leave.

There's nothing more for him to do here, so he might as well go home early and have some fun surrounded by women...

"That woman is Kushina's friend."

They hadn't gone far when the Nine-Tails inside her belly spoke up: "I saw you outside the door after you were born. You're one of the few people in Konoha who didn't have any ill intentions towards you."

Naruto gave it a strange look: "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"Well... I just said it offhand."

Nine-Tailed Fox closed its eyes and continued to feign sleep.

So the darkness in this guy's heart doesn't stem from a lack of family affection...

"I should buy some gifts and pay a formal visit tomorrow. After all, we'll need the Uchiha's help later. Kurama, do you know what the Uchiha like?"

Sharingan.

"..."

The following morning.

As Naruto watched the Uchiha clan members in mourning, he silently hid the box of pastries tied with colorful ribbons behind his back.

It seems like we've come at the wrong time...
