Before long, the ninja device was successfully activated, displaying an image of a place thousands of miles away inside the tent.
The moment the communication was successfully established, Naruto, Sasuke, and Shikamaru all knelt on one knee simultaneously, respectfully greeting the person on the screen above them, "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
"Hmm, with all three of you looking down, I can't tell who's who. Raise your heads, I'll grant you permission."
The lazy voice of the Fire Country Daimyo came from the screen, and there seemed to be a slight tremor in his voice, as if he was enduring something.
Upon hearing the Daimyo's permission, Naruto and the other two raised their heads and looked at the screen above them.
However, they did not get up from the ground; they remained kneeling on one knee.
However, as the three of them raised their heads, they were finally able to see the movements of the Fire Country Daimyo on the other end of the communication screen.
It's easy to tell that the daimyo of the Land of Fire is in a hot spring.
It is generally considered very impolite to be in a hot spring while communicating with someone.
However, because the other party was the daimyo of the Land of Fire, neither Naruto, Sasuke, nor Shikamaru showed any dissatisfaction.
At that moment, a thought flashed through Shikamaru's mind: he remembered his conversation with the two of them earlier.
The hot spring where the daimyo of the Land of Fire is soaking looks really nice. I'll go there for a vacation after the war ends.
However, Shikamaru's wandering thoughts soon had to return to reality.
Because he saw a figure that was extremely familiar to him on the communication screen.
Shikamaru's expression froze for a moment when he saw his wife's face appear on the communication screen.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and suppressed the awkward expression on his face.
In the scene, the Fire Country Daimyo's enormous, obese body, resembling a mountain of flesh, is mostly submerged in the hot spring, with only his shoulders and above exposed above the water.
His head rested on the edge of the hot spring.
There, someone thoughtfully knelt behind the daimyo of the Land of Fire, offering his head as a lap pillow.
Looking at that unique blond hairstyle, Shikamaru knew he couldn't possibly be mistaken.
This person is Shikamaru's wife, Temari.
Since Temari was recruited as one of the new Twelve Guardian Ninja, Shikamaru has not seen his wife again.
At that moment, on the other end of the communication screen, Shikamaru finally saw his wife Temari again.
However, the Temari that Shikamaru saw clearly seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him.
Temari was not wearing any clothes. She sat naked on the edge of the hot spring, her two shapely legs spread apart, allowing the head of the Fire Country Daimyo to rest on them.
Not only that, Temari's pair of full breasts were also placed on the back of the Fire Country Daimyo's head, slightly higher up, serving as a soft pillow.
"My lord, ahhh~"
Temari doesn't just serve as a backrest; a platter of various fruits is placed next to her.
Temari picked up a cherry from the plate and held it to the mouth of the Fire Country Daimyo, inviting him to eat in a flirtatious voice.
Shikamaru had never imagined that his wife Temari could display such lewd behavior.
Although the two people in the picture are not engaging in sexual activity, they do exude a lewd atmosphere.
However, Shikamaru was soon overjoyed, because such a scene meant that his wife had already secured her position by the side of the Fire Country's daimyo.
It's truly an incredible blessing for the daimyo of the Land of Fire to take a liking to Temari.
While Shikamaru was feeling smug, Naruto and Sasuke, kneeling beside him, were somewhat embarrassed.
They also recognized the naked woman acting as a backrest behind the daimyo of the Land of Fire as Temari.
Naruto and Sasuke couldn't believe that Temari would pose in such a lewd manner.
Temari is, after all, the wife of his close friend Shikamaru. Seeing her in such a state, both Naruto and Sasuke couldn't help but feel very awkward.
Both Naruto and Sasuke's cheeks were slightly flushed.
Partly because of the awkwardness.
Partly it's also because of men's nature.
Even though Temari is Shikamaru's wife, both of them couldn't help but feel a little excited when they saw Temari's beautiful body.
They simply couldn't turn their heads away and avoid looking.
It was the Fire Country Daimyo's permission to make them look up at the communication screen; turning their heads at this time would undoubtedly be seen as disrespect to their own lord.
It took Naruto a lot of effort to suppress the chaotic emotions in his heart.
At this moment, the daimyo of the Land of Fire finally broke the silence.
After swallowing the fruit Temari had put in his mouth, the Fire Country Daimyo remembered that his three ninjas were still waiting for him. He looked at the other end of the communication screen and asked, "Naruto, how is the battle going? I heard that you've already reached Kumogakure."
"Yes, Lord Daimyo."
The question from the Fire Country Daimyo somewhat rescued Naruto from his awkward situation. He rallied his spirits and answered seriously, "Under our Konoha offensive, all the Lightning Country ninjas have fled into Kumogakure. If we can conquer Kumogakure, we will achieve complete victory."
"Very good, very good. Konoha's performance this time was not bad."
The Fire Country Daimyo showed a satisfied expression, nodded, and unusually praised Konoha's efforts.
For someone who has always looked down on ninjas, such behavior is truly rare.
This caused Naruto to reveal an undisguised excitement on his face.
Up until now, he has been worried that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would develop a negative view of Konoha because of its previous negligence.
Now he can finally relax a little.
Sasuke and Shikamaru, kneeling beside Naruto, also showed joy in their eyes. Although they did not hold the position of Hokage like Naruto, their love and respect for Konoha were no less than Naruto's.
"How long will it take Konoha to conquer Kumogakure?"
The daimyo of the Land of Fire was very concerned about the attack on the Land of Lightning. After asking the question, he seemed to remember something and added, "Also, do you need any other troops to support you?"
"No need, Konoha can complete the mission."
Naruto answered without hesitation. If other forces from the Land of Fire were to participate, Konoha's credit would be shared. Moreover, Naruto was confident that Konoha's strength was enough to break through Kumogakure. "According to our plan, we will definitely be able to break through Kumogakure's defenses in the next few days and present the victory to the Daimyo."
As he spoke, Naruto also pushed Shikamaru forward, asking him to explain their battle plan in detail to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, describing how they intended to attack Kumogakure, which was perched atop a towering mountain.
