I don't believe in the will of fire

Early in the morning, the sky is slightly bright

The river connecting Uzumaki City from the sea has been widened many times in the past few years, but in the face of the increasingly prosperous shipping, the Ashina River is still a little overwhelmed. The cargo ship Minato is on has actually arrived at Uzumaki Country a long time ago.

port, but I had to wait in line for a long time before I was allowed to enter.

“It’s really lively!”

In the past few years, both sides of the river are no longer pristine wilderness. Due to the prosperity of trade, countless people from the Kingdom of Whirlpool have moved their families to both sides of the river, forming one by one through small docks.

The villages became rich through the blessing of maritime transportation.

After entering the river, everything sped up. In just over half an hour, a Tianfu City that seemed out of tune with this era appeared in everyone's sight.

"!!!"

The three genin of Konoha were completely unable to use words to describe the shock in their hearts. They were captivated by the dazzling world in front of them.

This is a huge city with no visible edges, and the entire field of vision is filled with various high-rise buildings. These buildings are colorful and have different styles, but they have a very coordinated beauty.

The streets were spotlessly clean, lights were everywhere, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

In the early morning, the streets were already bustling with people everywhere.

In addition to ordinary people in the Uzumaki Ninja Village and ninjas wearing forehead protectors from various countries, there are even traces of countless tourists.

It was full of people and energy.

Although Konoha has become a lot more prosperous in recent years, compared with the beautiful city in front of us, it is a world of difference.

Compared with the brightly dressed and energetic people in this city, the three disciples all felt as if they were from the countryside.

The three of them watched everything around them intently until the ship arrived at the fixed port.

The helpers at the port began to move the goods, and Kubo came to Minato and handed over the reward for this mission.

"Well, thank you Mr. Minato. This is the reward for this mission! Let's say goodbye and see you again in the future!"

"Well, goodbye Mr. Kubo!"

Because it is a C-level mission, the reward is actually not much. Coupled with the competition from the Uzushio City Ninja United Association, the price of escort missions has dropped again and again in various ninja villages in recent years. Therefore, Minato's escort mission this time

, the total reward received was only thirty thousand taels, and the commission from the village was distributed to each disciple, which was only a few thousand taels. This was definitely not much, but fortunately, it was equal to what they had received in Uzumaki Port.

All the money was lost, so it was considered a no-profit-no-loss transaction.

"Minato-sensei, are we going back now?"

Obito looked at the colorful world in front of him and asked with some nostalgia.

"Well, what's wrong, Obito, do you have any ideas?"

Minato looked at his three disciples' eyes and understood what they were thinking. After all, when he first came here to perform a mission, he was also fascinated by the colorful world in front of him.

"Um, teacher, can you show us around? This is our first time in such a big city!"

Seeing the strange looks in the eyes of these three disciples, although Minato didn't want to stay in this city for too long, he still nodded and smiled softly.

"Of course it's no problem, but we only have one day, and we have to go back to the village tomorrow morning."

The three disciples looked excited when they heard that they had a whole day to explore the city.

In the following time, Minato took his three disciples around the city. They had all kinds of delicious food and fun. Fortunately, he had just received the reward for this mission. In addition, the three

All disciples are children, so they don’t need to go to those high-cost places, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll spend all my remuneration this time.

At night, Minato also took three disciples to watch a free movie called "The Battle of Twilight Water City", which tells the story of Uzumaki City when it was first established.

To put it simply, it is the story of how, under the leadership of the Uzumaki City Daimyo and the leader Uzumaki Kamizuki, they united the former Bird Clan and the Hongzhou who abandoned darkness and turned to the light, defeated the evil organization Yatsufou, and finally built the Uzumaki Ninja Village together.

Watching this movie made the three disciples excited. Whether it was the handsome men and beauties appearing in it, the various weird ninjutsu, the twists and turns of the plot, and the battle between the huge psychic beasts, it all attracted these three disciples.

A disciple who is inexperienced in the world.

Even after leaving the cinema, Obito was still talking about the lines of the protagonists in the film, with stars in his eyes, talking non-stop to Rin and Kakashi.

Seeing this, Minato smiled softly, but no one could see the worry underneath his gentle appearance.

"Okay, you should have fun today. Let's go back and rest now. We will go back to the village tomorrow."

"Um."

Although they were a little unfinished, the three of them nodded and walked towards the hotel.

But at this moment, a group of people wearing the uniforms of the Uzumaki City Police Department appeared in front of the three people. The leader was a round-faced girl. Her height seemed to be about the same as Minato, but there was a look on her round face.

Her lolita look and the police uniform she's wearing are extremely cute.

This was a completely different visual impact to Obito and Kakashi. The two of them rarely looked at the girl in front of them blankly. Even Kakashi's face was slightly red.

As for Lin, she also looked at this girl with envy.

The girl I saw lowered her head to say hello, and asked Minato in a very respectful tone.

"Hello, are you Minato Namikaze-san?"

"Yes, you are?"

"I am the squad leader of the Uzumaki City Police Department. My name is Coral. I am following the order of the Minister to invite you to the Uzumaki Tower, where His Highness Shenyue is waiting for you."

"Shenyue!"

Minato's body trembled when he heard the name.

Except for Kakashi, the other two disciples looked at their teacher with some confusion.

Obito said even more excitedly.

"Teacher, do you actually know Mr. Shenyue?"

Minato nodded, then looked at the girl named Coral.

"Please lead the way."

"Well, please come with me!"

Under the dark night, Uzumaki City is still brightly lit, but as the prosperous city gradually disappears under the leadership of Coral, what appears in front of you is a big city that is completely inconsistent with Uzumaki City, and is somewhat similar to Konoha.

, a place like a small village.

Obito looked at these simple wooden houses with some strangeness and asked curiously.

"Does Mr. Shenyue actually live in a place like this?"

After hearing Obito's question, Coral covered her mouth and smiled softly.

"Well, although it looks simple, the people who can live here are not ordinary people. This is the center of the entire Uzumaki City."

Obito was a little confused, but Minato could feel it.

These villagers appeared in front of them and chatted like ordinary people. The chakra in their bodies and the battle-scars on their arms showed that these people were not ordinary people.

Just like that, not long after, a low three-story vortex building appeared in front of everyone.

"plz follow me!"

Under the leadership of Coral, the four people went up to the third floor. As the door was pushed open, Minato met Shenyue again after ten years...
