That night, Naruto had a clone run towards Hidden Cloud Village while he slept... a dream. The next morning, Naruto hung the underwear he had washed in Wave Country to dry in Wind Country.
His wife's welfare payments were a bit too generous. Although his mind resisted, his body was honest. The fifteen-year-old boy's hormones were over-secreting and completely out of his control. This was probably the same as when he, in this life, couldn't control wetting the bed when he was half a year old. Brain: You hold it in for me. Urinary System: You can't control me.
That period was always Naruto's nightmare. A baby over twenty still wetting the bed was just too embarrassing to talk about. Shaking his head to dispel the nightmare, Naruto teleported to a spot a dozen kilometers outside Hidden Cloud Village. His clone had run here last night. Any closer and he'd be easily discovered.
Find a passerby, pull Sasuke, glare, deliver an oil lamp, all done in one go. It was exactly the same as when he infiltrated the Hidden Grass Village last time. Before the oil lamp's ability was exposed, it was this easy for him to infiltrate.
Otherwise, infiltrating would be very troublesome. Every village had a sensory barrier, and the front gate had guards responsible for checking. The Leaf Village's front gate guards, Izumo and Kotetsu,
didn't need to be strong, just able to detect suspicious people and things, such as explosive tags or the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God kunai.
But the oil lamp didn't care about this. Check however you want. If you break it, it's just an ordinary oil lamp. And even if it's exposed, Naruto still had a miner's lamp and... a street lamp.
That afternoon, when cultivation was over, Naruto teleported to that passerby's house in Hidden Cloud Village. After sending him to the Land of Snow with a decent job arrangement, Naruto had the clone go to Mount Myōboku and dab a little oil to come back to sense. The clone disappeared, and Naruto transformed into the passerby, pushing open the door.
"Big Fox, be careful, don't get discovered." Naruto reminded Nine Tails, who was in his body. This village had two Jinchuriki; it was best to be careful.
"Tch, those two weaklings." Nine Tails scoffed.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're the strongest."
"What kind of attitude is that?" Nine Tails felt its reputation as the strongest Tailed Beast was being violated.
"Praising you for being amazing." Naruto said honestly. Being able to eat so much and get so fat was something other Tailed Beasts simply couldn't do, okay?
"I'm too lazy to lower myself to your level, brat."
While teasing his own fox spirit, Naruto walked towards the Raikage's office building. Unlike the Leaf Village, the Cloud Village was in the mountains. The mountains were bald and rocky, cone-shaped, and not low. In this environment,
most of the Cloud Village's buildings used the mountain as their base, hollowing out half of it and building the houses on the mountainside. From a distance, it looked like the mountain was encircled by ring after ring, with some rings connected by floating bridges and others not.
Because there was a lot of fog in the Cloud Village, most of the buildings looked old, except for the Raikage Building, which was vibrant, especially the repaired traces on it, which were most vibrant. Naruto clicked his tongue in wonder.
If Tsunade was the 'Quit Gambling, Please' sister, then the Raikage was the 'Anti-Stress' brother, extremely violent and never using doors, always crashing through walls.
After so many years, the efficiency of his subordinate construction team was comparable to a New York construction company. It wasn't unreasonable for him to be able to build such a spectacular village.
On the other side, in a hollowed-out mountain, the tall and strong Raikage patted the dark box: "It's just a broken box, what's the big deal." The wheat-skinned Raikage's secretary, Mabui, holding a folder, stepped forward and asked, "Raikage-sama, what did you say?" She was secretly dying of worry.
Why did you have to tear apart those few layers of cotton padding as soon as you came in? Unsealing the Box of Ultimate Bliss released a sound that could be heard five kilometers away.
The huge volume plus the wall's echo made everyone present want to strangle the person who had torn off the cotton padding. But he was the Raikage, so they could only suppress their anger and hand over the radio and earpiece.
The Raikage clicked on the radio and asked, "What is it saying?"
"I don't know. From the moment I found it, that's what it's been saying." Yugito Nii replied. The nearby staff also shook their heads. If the Box of Ultimate Bliss said 3.14, they would definitely know, but for the past half-month, at an average rate of over two digits per second, it had counted to over three million digits. Who could remember what the three millionth digit after the decimal point of pi was?
"Forget it, you guys keep studying. I'm leaving." The Raikage strode towards the wall. This sound was too strong; he couldn't stand it either. "Raikage-sama!" Mabui followed with small steps. "Quickly, seal it up again; the echoes are even stronger outside in the mountains." The entire base immediately became busy.
Hearing the sudden sound of counting, Naruto smiled below the Raikage Building.
He was waiting for the Raikage, wanting to talk. Naruto wasn't an overbearing person. What was inherited in China was the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Confucius once said: "To punish without instruction is cruelty,"
meaning before hitting someone, you have to tell them where they went wrong. Although everyone was stealing and robbing, no one was better than anyone else, but in terms of relationships, the Sage of the Six Paths could be considered my half-father, so what's wrong with his relics being with me? You robbing is just not right, that's not in accordance with inheritance rights.
To compensate for my injured heart, you should give me two more, right? You have a lot of Sage of the Six Paths treasures, anyway. The plan was good, but he didn't wait for the Raikage. Lightning flashed in the sky, and the building above Naruto's head boomed loudly,
with quite a few bricks falling down. Just in time to see Mabui come, Naruto opened a portal beside her and asked, "Raikage's secretary?" Her sexy wheat-colored skin was easy to recognize. Naruto recognized her.
"You are..." Mabui was first puzzled, then upon seeing the portal's purple light, exclaimed: "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!" Her voice was loud, seemingly reminding someone.
"That's right." Naruto dispelled his Transformation Technique. "Shua." A figure pierced through his body, moving so fast it almost hit Mabui.
"Nice to meet you, Raikage-senpai, hello."
"You dare come here." Before the Raikage's voice finished, he pierced through Naruto again. This time, Naruto disappeared.
"Where is he?" The Raikage's eyes widened like bulls' eyes as he looked left and right, clenching his fists, and guessing why he couldn't hit. Inside a room on a stone cone, Naruto pushed open the window, looking down at them condescendingly, and said, "Over here." He had walked all over this place while waiting, able to teleport anywhere he wanted.
"Boom." The Raikage shot up, breaking the railing, passing through Naruto, and using the stone wall behind him to bounce back. In a short moment, he had gone back and forth.
"Can't you just let me finish what I have to say?" Looking at the person coming over in the distance, Naruto complained, then appeared on another rooftop.
"What do you want to say?" Seeing the Raikage was thinking about a countermeasure, Mabui thoughtfully stalled for time.
"You and I both know where the box is." Naruto held onto the railing, throwing her a picture of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, smiling and saying, "I won't ask for much. You guys return the box to me, compensate me with two more, and drag out that kitten who stole my box for me to beat up, then we'll call it even..."
Naruto didn't like to dawdle, going straight to the point. Suddenly, sensing something strange, Naruto turned his head and stared at someone coming up from below. This person had an eyepatch over his left eye, and the eyepatch had several sealing techniques engraved on it.
This feeling was... a Byakugan. From small to large, he had been glared at with Byakugan his whole life, sometimes even tens of Byakugan at once. He was especially familiar with this scanning sensation.
Although the Byakugan had always been the Hyuga clan's inherent property, it wasn't as if none had flowed out. Hidden Mist Village's Ao had one on his right eye. So, this Cloud Village Byakugan should be a matching set, right?
"And give me that eye too." Naruto said, pointing at that person. He remembered he was called Toroi, or something like that. Although he didn't know whose eye it was, since he was the Hyuga clan's son-in-law, now that he encountered it, he would just reclaim it on the way, then go get Ao's one to give to his old father-in-law as a bride-price.
Take a pair of Byakugan to marry you, return you a pair of Byakugan. Either way, you won't lose out, right?
"You little brat, spouting wild words!" The Raikage once again pierced through Naruto's body.
"You'd better do as I say, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen." "Are you threatening me?" "Can I understand that you are declaring war on our Hidden Cloud Village?" Mabui shouted.
Inside another building, Naruto's figure appeared: "If you say so, then that's what it is!" Even a mud figure has three points of earthiness. You guys stole my things and are still so arrogant; do you think I'm easy to bully?
"There." Toroi said, pointing to Naruto's location.
"Girei Shinkaraitetsu!" The Raikage's lightning flared, transforming into armor. He jumped high, his right leg aimed like an axe at Naruto's location.
Then... he passed through again. In a pile of dirt, the Raikage's eyes widened like bulls' eyes as he glared at the blonde still in the same spot. He couldn't even hit with that? "Don't say I didn't warn you. I'll give you ten days. You'd better hurry, or the consequences will be truly terrifying. Well then, goodbye." Naruto waved goodbye.
The Hidden Cloud Village's geography was special, with high and low terrain. As long as they were well hidden, it would be difficult for them to see the light of the portal. But now, there were more and more people, and they were starting to occupy the rooftops. Naruto didn't plan to keep playing. It was easy to mess up if he kept playing.
