Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

"After experiencing the An Lushan incident, I realized that true happiness may not be the result, but the process."

Sarah's beautiful eyes sparkled as she reached out to the moon, wanting to embrace it.

"We have experienced setbacks, supported each other through difficulties, and built trust and friendship. We are not afraid of even the cruel sandstorms and scorching sun, because Loulan is united."

"This is the belief of Loulan!"

Sarah turned and looked directly into Kazan's eyes, her expression one of determination and confidence.

“I take back what I said before. You are still that childish queen.”

"Kazan is overthinking things!"

Chapter 213 Don't underestimate my intelligence network

As night deepened, Kazan did not rush to leave but stayed overnight in Loulan.

He stood by the window, a small purple dragon swimming in his palm.

This is the true core of the dragon vein, and he will take it back to the Forest of Death tomorrow.

“Sarah is right, there is no power protecting the dragon vein here.”

"Your battle with that Uchiha has already attracted the attention of other ninja villages."

"Their people are probably already on their way to Loulan."

It was very rare for the Nine-Tails to speak to him on its own initiative.

While his main body was still sealed, he separated some of his chakra, which transformed into a miniature version of the Nine-Tails standing on his shoulder.

"I know, I was just thinking that the Sage of Six Paths brought chakra to the world in the hope that it would promote social development and progress."

"But in the end, Sara handed over the dragon vein power that was within her grasp, and decided to build Loulan by hand and foot."

How do you know about the old man?

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network."

Nine-Tailed Fox remained silent, thinking of Kazan's ability to hear all things.

He had no idea when he would hear strange noises from that place again.

"Are you trying to say the old man did something wrong?"

"That's why I'm thinking about it, because I don't know."

Kazan, to be honest, simply didn't know right from wrong.

It seems that Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, created the ninja school that focuses on strength, leading to generations of ninjas fighting each other and creating the situation we have today.

In reality, even without Indra, the world would most likely have ended up in the same place today.

When you possess extraordinary power, how many people would willingly go back to farming or construction?

Ninja schools will eventually emerge; it's only a matter of time.

The outcome was already predetermined when the Sage of Six Paths brought chakra to humanity.

Even in such a world, there are many people like Sarah.

He suddenly remembered a famous line from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: "The song of humanity is the song of courage."

Giving up the dragon vein and extraordinary power to choose to build a home with one's own hands and feet takes courage.

Kazan looked out the window at the Loulan people and said, "They are braver than the five great ninja villages."

Nine-Tailed Fox also looked over.

courage?

He was sealed three times, and from the previous two generations of Jinchūriki, he only sensed various negative energies such as selfishness, jealousy, and hatred.

This is the first time I've experienced positive feedback.

However, that makes sense, this is Loulan, there are no violent ninja groups like those in the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Their biggest wish is to have food when they are hungry and a bed to sleep comfortably when they are tired.

"Kazan..."

Nine-Tails wanted to say something more, but when he turned around, he found that Kazan had already fallen asleep.

He fell asleep standing up, with bubbles still coming out of his nose.

"......"

He remained silent, then extended several tails to carry the person to the bed and thoughtfully covered them with a blanket.

He was about to return to the sealed chamber, but after thinking about it, he didn't. Instead, he curled up in a ball on the blanket and fell asleep.

For the first time in decades, he slept with a Jinchūriki.

..........

Day two.

"Got to go?"

"Yes, I will pass on your words to Minato exactly as they were."

The dragon vein isn't given away for free; Sara also needs Konoha's help.

For example, some things that require ninjas to handle.

Regarding the mission reward, Sarah hoped Kazan could be clear about it, because Loulan was very poor, and every penny counted.

An Lushan's four puppet arsenals have already squeezed almost all of Loulan's treasury dry.

Looking for Sand Ninja?

They don't care if you have money or not; they won't take a penny less than you're entitled to, and they'll throw a tantrum if you're short even a little bit.

Besides, the Sand Village is now dirt poor, and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has already planned to reduce support for the Sand Village. The fact that the Sand Village didn't increase its funding is already a sign of their generosity.

"You really don't plan to build your own ninja force? I can help you."

"Don't tempt me anymore. I don't have Kazan's unwavering will."

"If you keep talking, I'm really going to agree."

Sarah noticed Kazan's smile and gave him a disapproving glare.

She insisted on promoting a policy of complete neutrality, and that no ninja forces would appear within Loulan.

Even when Kazan told him that the Iron Kingdom, as the largest neutral country, also had a warrior group, and that Loulan could follow suit, Sara did not waver.

He's stupid, but I don't hate him.

A person who harbors dreams and gives it their all is always better than a pathetic creature who does nothing and likes to mock others for daydreaming.

"That's settled then, I'm going back now."

"Okay, goodbye."

Bang!

A loud sonic boom echoed through the air as Kazan soared into the sky and disappeared.

"Back to Konoha?"

"Okay, back to Konoha. Minato has gone to Kumogakure, Jiraiya is in Iwagakure, and Tsunade, Uchiha, and Hyuga are in Kirigakure. That's all for me."

Kazan broke through the air, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the Land of Fire.

.........

at the same time.

After a day and a night of travel, Konoha's various forces arrived at the front lines.

The fastest was Minato Namikaze, who did not follow the troops but went to the border ahead of time.

"Lord Hokage!"

The border troops saw people as if they were their saviors.

"How is the situation now?"

"This is not good. The Cloud Ninja has mobilized 5000 ninja troops, including the Fourth Raikage, the Eight-Tails, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."

It seemed as if they were about to storm the Land of Fire should Kazan encounter any problems.

As for the Iwa ninja, the two villages had excellent tacit understanding. Instead of restraining each other, they withdrew all their forces, clearly indicating that they wanted to first determine the "state" of Konoha before considering their next move.

After three battles, all four ninja villages suffered heavy losses, while only Konoha remained prosperous.

If things continue to develop this way, Konoha will only become the dominant power, and the balance that has lasted for decades will be broken.

After that, Konoha will likely wipe out the other ninja villages one by one.

They cannot place their hopes on the Fourth Hokage of Konoha being another Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Besides, even Hiruzen Sarutobi had great ambitions when he was young.

Therefore, without any communication, the four major ninja villages reached a tacit understanding.

Let's take down Konoha first!

Minato Namikaze arrived at just the right time. The Fourth Raikage didn't wait passively; he preferred to be proactive rather than passive.

The sensing forces quickly discovered the intruders, who were numerous.

"Lord Hokage, it's a Cloud Ninja unit!"

Although they couldn't see it, the sensory units could sense that hundreds of Cloud Ninja soldiers were charging towards them.

"boom!"

The sounds of battle soon filled the air, and the two sides had already begun to clash.

"Cloud Ninja, do you want to break the alliance?!" a Konoha ninja shouted on the battlefield, his voice trembling.

The Third World War has only just ended; is it about to cause another upheaval?

"The alliance between the Cloud Ninja and Konoha remains in effect; we are simply carrying out a mission. And you, you just happen to be blocking our way!"
