Chapter 65
After roughly understanding the current situation of the Land of the Sky, Naruto walked around the underground fortress, which was more than 200 meters long and more than 100 meters wide, and whose overall outline was slightly similar to a spinning top. The entire base was quite empty.
Because there were not many people on duty here, only fifty or sixty people. After all, the entire underground fortress was quite hidden. In addition to daily repairs and maintenance of the main power devices, they only patrolled from time to time.
Naruto was quite dissatisfied with the tree roots that seeped out of the walls everywhere, and ordered Zemu that the roots on the walls must be cleared immediately, and they must be cleaned once a week in the future.
If necessary, some strong herbicides can be purchased to directly kill the trees above the fortress to prevent their roots from causing secondary damage to the fortress.
Zemu was worried that the withering and death of the trees above the fortress would expose the existence of the fortress, and Naruto asked coldly:"Are you questioning me?" Zemu responded in panic:"I dare not! I will give orders now to let the people below clean up the tree roots and cut down the trees above!"
""That's enough." Naruto waved his right hand calmly,"This aerial fortress is the key to our later actions. Besides, this place is extremely remote. There is not even a decent town within a hundred miles nearby. There is no need to worry about being discovered."
Zemu nodded repeatedly, then stepped back and quickly told his subordinates to complete the task.
Naruto stayed here until the next morning. He had inspected the entire fortress and had a vague understanding of its general functions.
He called Zemu, Tanzuka and the other three to explain some matters, asking them to slow down the production of micro-ninjutsu scrolls and ninja wings as long as they were enough. Naruto clearly instructed the three to speed up the progress of the maritime fortress and sailing ships, and the carrying capacity and long-distance sailing capabilities of sailing ships must be improved as much as possible.
The three were thoughtful, but did not dare to have any doubts, and then began to convey Naruto's various instructions and mobilized everyone to start implementing them.
Afterwards, Naruto used Flying Thunder God to leave the underground base of the Kingdom of Sky. On the way, he teleported four or five times to rest. In less than two minutes, Naruto came to Sasuke's house out of thin air.
At this time, Karin was meditating to refine chakra, and Kagura's heart eye, which was subconsciously opened, immediately sensed Naruto's arrival.
Karin immediately jumped up, jumped to Naruto with joy and hugged Naruto
"Brother Naruto, you are finally here. Have you dealt with everything?"
"Of course!"
Naruto had explained in detail his plan to control the Sky Country to Sasuke and Karin early on.
That is, Naruto transformed into the appearance of Shennong, used the information obtained from Shennong, and then deceived the world by taking over the position of leader of the Sky Country.
Then, Naruto took Karin to the Sky Country and pretended to be a disciple of Shennong and the future artificial tailed beast Jinchūriki, and made Karin the second-in-command of the Sky Country.
As for how to develop the Sky Country next, they could only wait until Karin was in place, slowly observe the specific situation of the Sky Country, and then slowly plan. With Flying Thunder God by his side, and Naruto already mastered it thoroughly, teleporting with Karin was just a piece of cake. Of course, to be on the safe side, Naruto teleported at a distance of 100 kilometers each time.
The distance was shortened by two-thirds compared to when he used it alone.
In short, every time he teleported along the way, he would take a break with Karin and walk a short distance, and during this time he would tell Karin what to do when they saw Sawaki, Tanzuka and others.
Finally, a quarter of an hour later, Naruto brought Karin to the main hall of the underground base of the Kingdom of the Sky. At this time, Sawaki and the other three were still giving orders to their subordinates, and carrying out job transfers and material distribution according to Naruto's instructions.
When Naruto called the three people, the moment the three saw Karin, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes, but they did not dare to ask more, they just hurriedly bent down and bowed to ask Naruto for any instructions.
Naruto still transformed into the appearance of Shennong, put one hand on Karin's shoulder and said kindly
"Let me introduce to you, this is my new disciple, her name is Karin, she will become the tailed beast Jinchuriki of my Sky Country in the future, she is also the person I trust the most."
When the three heard this, they naturally understood what their leader meant, so they immediately bowed to Karin and said in unison:"Hello, Miss Karin!"
And the three of them introduced themselves in turn, and Karin also memorized the general information of Sawaki, Tanzuka and Takemoto.
After the three of them introduced themselves, Naruto said calmly:"Karin will live here in the future, and the best arrangements will be made for her in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and if she has any requirements, they must be absolutely met, understand?"
The three knew how important Karin was to their leader, so they naturally did not dare to neglect her. They kept agreeing and promised to take good care of Karin in every aspect.
Naruto also said that Karin could come and go freely here, and no one could confine Karin without his order.
Moreover, he also explained that he had placed a very strong defensive ninjutsu on Karin, so that they did not have to worry about Karin's safety at all.
Zemu and the other two admired Naruto even more, and at the same time, they envied Karin even more. Not only did she become the leader's apprentice and obtained a lofty status, but she also received extremely complete protection, which was a treatment they had never dared to dream of before.
However, Naruto also threw out a sweet bait, and guaranteed with his reputation as Shennong that as long as the three of them performed well, he would definitely be his one day. A set of powerful defensive ninjutsu was specially customized for the three of them.
And after the Sky Country becomes strong, they will never be abandoned. The three of them are still the three with the most power under him.
The three of them did not doubt Naruto's promises at all. After all, they have been following the teachings of their parents since they were young. Everything must be arranged by the leader of the Sky Country. It is their lifelong hope to be appreciated and reused by the leader.
However, human desires are endless. Take Tanzuka, who is in charge of the finances of the Sky Country, for example. Naruto has found some traces of his corruption in the account book.
However, he does not intend to expose it immediately. He wants to play the long game and wait until those in power have eaten their fill and have control over most of their evidence of corruption. Then he will arrest them and announce it to the entire Sky Country.���
At that time, he would confiscate their property and improve the welfare of the people in the whole country of the sky. Then, he would truly control the country of the sky.
After dismissing the three people, Naruto had a long talk with Karin.
"Xianglin, your daily task now is to practice and strengthen yourself. If you feel bored, go out for a walk. Don't worry about anything else."
""Brother Naruto, will you come to see me often?" Karin asked in a low voice.
Naruto gently stroked Karin's hair with a gentle expression:"Don't worry, I will come here to visit you at least once every two days. When the Sky Country develops in the future, this should be my permanent residence."
When Karin heard that Naruto might live here for a long time, she was overjoyed and many thoughts came to her mind.
When her strength reaches the level of Jonin, she will focus on developing the Land of the Sky and make it stronger and stronger, so that Naruto can move here as soon as possible to live with her.
As for the illusion space, Naruto had already let Karin enter it, but Karin's qualifications were far inferior to those of Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata, and the speed of improvement in Naruto's illusion space could not be compared with the three of them.
In addition, she was an illegal resident in Konoha and could not easily appear in public.
Therefore, Karin and Naruto had few opportunities to practice in the illusion space together.
However, Karin was very content. The days with Naruto were what she dared not imagine after her mother's death.
She thought that she would be like her mother, and eventually be bitten to the last drop by the people of the Kusagakure Village. Chakra, and died in endless despair and pain.
However, the god of fate favored her and let her be found by Naruto in the Chunin Exam, and finally escaped from the devil's cave in Kusagakure Village.
Since then, Naruto has become the only light in Karin's heart. No matter what Naruto asked her to do, she would not hesitate. Even if she was asked to die meaninglessly, she was willing.
But how could Naruto let this poor girl Karin die? He just couldn't bear Karin's miserable experience in the original work, and just wanted her to live a much better life than the original work.
Although Naruto also has his own selfishness and ideas, but after all, he has traveled through time and space, and he has a mysterious and powerful golden finger. What's wrong with being willful to a powerful man?
Naruto began to practice with Karin in the illusion space, and Karin slowly learned what Naruto taught. He received the Rasengan from the teacher, and began to practice various water-based ninjutsu from Tobirama Senju.
Naruto was still practicing Flying Thunder God, trying to improve his proficiency. In short, because his body was only 12 years old and far from mature, he could not achieve the most perfect effect when performing various ninjutsu.
But no matter what, training is like rowing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Diligent training is always beneficial.
The two practiced in the illusion space for seven or eight days. Naruto's mind trembled, and a lot of information appeared in his mind out of thin air.
It turned out that Sasuke and Sakura had completed the task ahead of schedule. This trip to the Tea Kingdom was mainly to protect the subordinates of Wasabi Jiro to win the competition.
Thanks to Sasuke's strong strength, on the way to Morino Date's competition, he encountered the ninja who came to attack Morino Date. It was Konoha's rebel ninja and the one that Morino Date had once attacked. The teacher of the wasabi family,"Midori Aoi".
Midori Aoi was employed by another force in the Tea Kingdom, and was irreconcilable with the Wasabi family, in order to kill Morino Ida and earn more money.
However, Midori Aoi's strength was only that of a Chunin, and she was simply vulnerable to Sasuke. She was knocked unconscious and captured by Sasuke after a face-to-face encounter.
Then, the Thunder God Sword and a small volume of the Sealed Book that Morino Ida had stolen were searched from him.
After destroying Midori Aoi's body, Sasuke began to check the spoils of this war.
First, the Thunder God Sword, which looks like a strange hilt, is forged from a special chakra metal.
It is engraved with a more complex chakra circuit, so that when the user holds the hilt tightly and injects chakra, it will appear like the Force lightsaber in Star Wars, and a dazzling lightning blade will appear out of thin air.
After several tests by Sasuke, the power of this so-called Thunder God Sword will change with the quality of the user's infusion of chakra.
With high-quality chakra like his and Naruto's, the lightning sword that appeared would have the same power as his normal instant Chidori Sharp Lance.
The power was so-so, and it was just a waste for him. It was okay to play with it as a toy, but Sasuke was not very interested in the Thunder God Sword.
As for the small sealed scroll, it was encrypted with a codeword by Konoha. Sasuke had not been exposed to the codewords taught by the Konoha high-level officials, so he could not decipher the contents of this sealed book.
In addition, he received news from Konoha that Morino Ibiki might come to the Tea Country to take them back to the village, so Sasuke decided to hand in this sealed book.
As for the ownership of the Thunder God Sword, Naruto's shadow clone had already stated that the main body wanted to collect it. Of course, Sasuke would not be stingy with his brother's request. He hid the Thunder God Sword and let the shadow clone dissipate to notify Naruto to come back.
After all, Morino Ibiki was coming to pick up the three of them. He was the head of the Konoha Interrogation Department after all. If he had a strong enough ability to identify Naruto's shadow clone, it would be a bit bad. So Naruto
, who was in the Land of the Sky, comforted Karin after receiving the news that the ice clone had disbanded, and called Zemu and the other two again to let them manage the Land of the Sky.
Finally, he walked out of the fortress base, performed Flying Thunder God in an empty place, and instantly came to Sasuke.
Although Sasuke was mentally prepared for Naruto's appearance, he was still a little scared. However, the two were so familiar with each other's breath that they could tell whether the other was the real one just by the smell and the casual tone of voice.
However, this time Naruto's teleportation distance was too long, which could be said to be across the entire Land of Fire. He was a little exhausted and had a slight soreness all over his body. In short, he needed time to slow down.
Sasuke asked about the situation in the Land of the Sky. Naruto said that everything was OK and gave a brief account. Then he asked Sasuke to bring him some food so that he could make up for it.���Sasuke, who wanted to take this opportunity to quickly enter the illusion space to practice, was speechless when he saw Naruto's condition. He had no choice but to get up and run downstairs to ask the waiter to prepare more food and bring it to their room.
