Naruto: Becoming Stronger by Pampering Your Sister

In the acid, a dark, murky object suddenly appeared, extremely weak, as if it were about to dissipate at any moment.

"Ha, the way of Heaven, may you have a safe journey, and may you not see me off."

Chapter 129 I'm just here on my honeymoon

The spirit was just a soul; without a physical body, it vanished in an instant. Neji exhaled softly and leaped into the vortex behind him, disappearing from sight.

With the destruction of the demons, all the terracotta warriors stopped what they were doing and turned back into statues. At this point, all the battlefields were pacified, and the war that almost swept through the entire ninja world was nipped in the bud.

In a small forest in the Land of Demons, Neji and Shion walked side by side. After the war, Neji forcefully kidnapped Shion despite everyone's objections, even though the kidnapped girl herself was happy about it.

"Hey, Neji, where are we going?" Shion asked cheerfully. Freed from the constraints of her identity as a priestess, and with Moryo killed by Neji, she felt more relaxed than ever before.

"The Land of Wind," Neji said calmly.

"Why don't we go to the Land of Earth first? Isn't it closer to the Land of Demons?" Shion asked, pointing to her little finger.

"It's obvious that the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire don't get along, so it's best to leave this kind of trouble for last."

Actually, there's another reason: Deidara and Sasori are about to make their move against Gaara, and he can't afford to miss that.

"I see." Ziyuan tossed her long hair, smiling knowingly, and said, "Just walk there like that? Hmm?"

Even though she usually stays in the village and doesn't go out, she knows how far the Land of Demons and the Land of Wind are. With her ordinary learning ability, it would probably take her forever to travel that distance.

So, at this moment, she looked at Neji with a knowing look in her eyes, which made Neji feel a little dazed. This personality was so different from the one in the story. Fortunately, she was only like this in front of him. Otherwise, with Shion's beauty, who knows if something might have happened because of this.

"Understood," Neji said calmly, but a slight smile appeared on his lips. How could he refuse such a perfectly reasonable request?

Without saying much, Neji carried Shion on his back. At that moment, Shion's entire body was lying on his back, and Neji could fully feel her perfect figure, which immediately aroused his desire.

Fortunately, he was no ordinary person and quickly calmed down. At the same time, he made up his mind that he should never let Ziyuan go out alone again, as it could really cause a major battle.

"Host carries Aster on a walk, and receives the reward [Word of Power]."

Word magic: A type of spell cast using language as a medium, capable of controlling beings other than oneself, and even controlling the rules themselves; it is an extremely powerful ability.

"This time it's a word magic, a curse?" Neji wasn't too surprised.

Just before he kidnapped Shion, he also gained an ability called "Life Catalog" by holding hands with her, which seems to be an ability to absorb the characteristics of all living beings through contact.

"Ziyuan, hold me tight."

Then, Neji leaped into the air and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

……

The Land of Wind is vast, but it is located in a desert region and is surrounded by sandstorms all year round. Its living environment is the harshest among the five great nations, completely opposite to the Land of Snow. However, the Land of Snow has now become the Land of Spring...

In the vast desert, amidst rolling sand dunes, a couple, seemingly inseparable and like lovers, wade through the yellow sand, leaving behind a deep trail of footprints that have not yet been covered by the wind and sand.

"The environment in this country is terrible," Ziyuan complained, pouting. They had been walking through this yellow sand for two days without seeing a single person.

To be honest, if it weren't for Neji's company, she would have quit long ago if it were someone else.

Neji wiped the sweat from his forehead, inwardly criticizing the natural protection of the Land of Wind, with its vast desert landscape; unless there was a reason, who would come here?

"Fortunately, I have strong perception, which made me realize that this is the right path. If it were anyone else, they would have been defeated by their own mind long ago."

Finally, as the sun set and the afterglow turned blood red, a village vaguely appeared in Neji's vision ahead.

"We've finally arrived." Neji thought to himself with secret joy.

"Who goes there?!"

As soon as Neji and Shion appeared, the ninjas on guard around Sunagakure spotted them and immediately gathered around them, asking in cold voices.

They knew Neji was from Konoha the moment they saw him, but they still didn't let their guard down. Although Konoha and Sunagakure were nominally allies, the complexities of the ninja world... well, if you take it too seriously, you'll lose.

"We've come to see the Kazekage. This is the priestess of the Land of Demons. We've come here to discuss something with the Kazekage in detail," Neji said without batting an eye.

It's impossible to sneak in and stay there for a while without being discovered. Rather than causing a bigger misunderstanding later, it's better to admit it now.

"A priestess..." The guarding ninja was startled. They might not have heard of a priestess before, but not long ago a war was fought because of her. Someone of such status must have important business in Sunagakure.

With this in mind, the guarding ninjas dared not delay and immediately sent someone to report to Gaara.

A short while later, Temari returned with the ninja who had left earlier. Her smiling face twitched inexplicably when she saw Shion.

"Alright, let them in."

"Yes, Lady Temari."

Once inside the village, Shion clung tightly to Neji; only in this unfamiliar place could she feel safe.

"Tch." Temari's eyes darkened slightly.

And so, the group walked in silence to the Kazekage's office building.

"So, what are you doing here?" Gaara's dark circles twitched slightly as he stared at Neji with hostility.

Unlike the other ninjas, as the Kazekage, he naturally knew about the fact that Neji had "kidnapped" the priestess of the Land of Demons. He wouldn't believe any mindless excuse about having important matters to discuss.

"We're just here for our honeymoon." Neji said with a straight face, taking Shion's hand.

Although Shion was mischievous, she knew that this was the time to play along with Neji's show-off, so she readily admitted it.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

The sound was so quiet you could hear a pin drop the moment it fell...

"Are you serious?"

Gaara's dark eye circles trembled more and more violently, and his eternally unchanging zombie face revealed an expression that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Although I hate to admit it, what newlywed couple would choose a place like the Land of Winds for their honeymoon?

"Fine, since Naruto approves of him, I'll just trust him for now." Gaara gave Neji a deep look before having someone take them away to arrange accommodations.

After the two left, Gaara looked at Maki and asked, "How's the investigation into that organization going?"

Seeing Maki's silence, Gaara sighed softly, "I see. We still haven't gotten to the bottom of them."

Chapter 130 Deidara VS Gaara

Recently, news spread very quickly: Konoha, the strongest of the five great ninja villages, has been attacked again.

During the Third Shinobi World War, the Land of the Sky, which had disappeared, suddenly reappeared within the Land of Fire and launched a surprise attack on Konoha. Its ninjas used their unique aerial combat abilities to destroy most of Konoha's buildings before gracefully departing, achieving a great victory.

This news is disheartening; it seems Konoha is a place of constant turmoil, frequently experiencing upheaval and suffering enormous losses each time.

"Really, doesn't Konoha learn from its mistakes?" This is a common thought among many people.

But soon, these people began to admire him. Upon closer examination, they realized that there was a reason why Konoha was able to maintain its position as the leader of the Five Great Villages.

Think about it, the wars that have happened in Konoha over the years have been terrible. The Nine-Tails attack led to the death of the Fourth Hokage. Orochimaru's surprise attack on Konoha resulted in the death of the Third Hokage. Every time they have to accept such a loss, it's not something that can be overcome with just courage.

No country could withstand so many disasters, but Konoha survived and remains the leader of the Five Ninja Villages, which is truly admirable.

Neji sat in his room, listening to the information Shion had gathered, and then ignored it with a sneer.

"Neji, aren't you worried?"

Shion knew that although Neji seemed cold and indifferent, he still cared about his comrades. Now that such a thing had happened in Konoha, he seemed indifferent.

"Worried? What are you worried about? They're just a bunch of clowns; they can't stump Konoha."

It's incredibly naive to think that they can overwhelm Konoha with just some mediocre aircraft, mediocre cell activation technology, and Zero-Tail.

However, this incident also made Neji realize that Orochimaru's health was failing again.

"Let's find time to tell Sasuke the truth."

……

That night, in the endless desert where yellow sand rolled, two men dressed in black robes with red cloud patterns walked step by step through the yellow sand.

They were Deidara and Sasori, who had been ordered by the Akatsuki to subdue the One-Tailed Beast.

"Master Scorpion, are you sure someone will come to meet us?" Deidara asked impatiently. They had been walking in the desert for a long time without seeing a single person.

"Hmm? Hmph! Believe it or not." Sasori snorted coldly when he saw that Deidara actually doubted him, and walked forward.

"Tch, what a temper. Is she going through menopause?"

"What did you say? Do you want to become one of my collectibles too? Get out of here!"

The two bickered along the way, and after wandering around for a while, they finally saw Sunagakure in the distance.

"Alright, now's the time to unleash my art for a spectacular explosion!" Deidara said excitedly, preparing to create a few flying birds out of clay for a long-range exchange of fire.

"No, let's just go in." Scorpion's deep, old-fashioned voice rang out, and then he walked straight over.

"Hey, sir, hey, wait for me."

When the two arrived at the gate of Sunagakure, they were not attacked. Everything went perfectly according to plan. All the ninjas responsible for protecting the village were lying on the ground.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a Sand Ninja walked up to Sasori, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully, "Lord Sasori, I have dealt with these guards."

"Hmm, very good, you did well, you can go now," Scorpion praised.

"Yes!" Yura replied respectfully, and then left.

"Deidara, go and capture the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, alive."

"I know, I know, you Akatsuki really know how to make up stories." Deidara complained unhappily for a moment, then immediately became excited: "Haha, this is where I will showcase my art, Master, just open your eyes and watch carefully."

Deidara opened his palm, and a mouth that was eating appeared in his palm. Soon, Deidara created a clay bird, made it grow to a giant size, and rode it into the sky.

Sasori is not as mobile as Deidara. Although he is strong, he cannot fly and has no chance of capturing Gaara alive.

Even so, he still needs to do his part.

At that moment, Neji suddenly opened his eyes, looked out into the distance, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He got up and walked to Ziyuan's bedside, his gaze softening. He set up a barrier around her to prevent the loud noise that was about to come from outside from affecting her.

"Get a good night's sleep."

The scene shifts, and Deidara has already dealt with the few remaining defense ninjas, making his way smoothly to the top of the Kazekage's office building, where he can see Gaara on the roof from afar.

"They're finally out."

The clay bird flapped its wings, and Deidara stood on it, grinning: "Let me show you my art."
