Naruto: I, Naruto, Start With The Full-Level Shining Fruit

"Is this the Land of Snow?"

Jiraiya looked at the endless expanse of white snow, utterly dumbfounded.

This was the middle of nowhere, without even a village in sight. Forget pretty girls, there probably wasn't even a single person around!

A gust of cold wind blew past, and Jiraiya shivered, hugging himself tightly.

"It's so cold~~"

"Knowing you were coming to the Land of Snow, and you didn't even bring a cotton coat."

Naruto, wearing a thick white cotton coat, looked at the shivering Jiraiya and teased, "Don't you even do your research when you travel abroad?"

"......"

Jiraiya's brow twitched, then he looked at Naruto, "Did you bring one for me?"

"How would I know you were coming to the Land of Snow?"

Naruto rolled his eyes at Jiraiya, "If you don't want to freeze to death, hurry up and go. If you go straight for ten kilometers and cross three mountains, you'll see a city where you can exchange supplies."

"......"

In the end, Jiraiya didn't listen to Naruto's advice. Instead, he found a trade caravan that had also come off the ship and paid them some money to hitch a ride on their snow vehicle!

But doing so meant he had to temporarily separate from Naruto and the others.

Naruto and the others were heading straight for the capital of the Land of Snow—Shirakawa!

The trade caravan that Jiraiya joined needed to pass through several small towns before finally reaching Shirakawa.

"Let's go, Karin."

"Yes, Naruto-sama!"

Two small figures walked towards the endless snowfield, their footprints leaving a temporarily existing path on the clean, flat snow!

Several hours later,

The two arrived at Shirakawa!

Thanks to the geothermal generator, the entire Shirakawa was now as warm as spring, completely different from other parts of the Land of Snow!

Because of this, Shirakawa now had the highest population flow in the entire Land of Snow!

"There are so many people~" Karin said, looking at the endless stream of people going into the city.

Naruto didn't feel anything special, it was just a few more people.

"Let's go, into the city!"

After a month, the entire Shirakawa had undergone considerable changes.

The increase in population flow had brought many merchants and many consumers!

However, along the way, Naruto did not find any management personnel, and the whole city seemed a little chaotic!

Although the population flow was not much worse than Konoha, the environment was indeed much worse than Konoha.

Arriving at the Daimyo's mansion,

The two gatekeepers saw Naruto and immediately respectfully said, "Naruto-sama, you're back!"

Even their Daimyo, Koyuki Kazahana, had to respectfully call Naruto, Naruto-sama, so these servants were naturally very respectful to him.

"Yeah, is Koyuki inside?" Naruto nodded and asked.

"Yes!" The two knew that the Koyuki that Naruto was referring to was actually the Daimyo, so they answered without hesitation.

"Open the door."

"Yes!"

The two pushed open the heavy door and walked into the mansion.

The Daimyo's mansion was much more impressive than the outside. After all, this was where Dotou Kazahana used to live, and the entire Daimyo's mansion was as grand as a castle!

It was Karin's first time seeing such a luxurious mansion, and she looked around at everything with a look of astonishment.

Along the way, they met many servants of the Daimyo's mansion. Guided by them, the two quickly found Koyuki's location.

At this time, Koyuki was not in the main hall, nor in the room, but was filming a movie in the courtyard!

"Scene 36, Section 3, Camera 2, action!"

With a clap of the clapperboard, Koyuki's voice suddenly came from inside.

"I am a woman who will become the Pirate Queen, how can I fall here?!"

"Captain!"

"Captain!!"

"We must not give up, Sōtarō, Mr. Curly Brow, as long as we persevere, there will still be hope! We will definitely find 'One Piece' and become the Pirate Queen!"

"I want to find the legendary 'All Blue'! Captain!"

"I want to become the world's greatest swordsman!"

......

"......"

Listening to the modified One Piece in the courtyard, Naruto felt that he was deeply sinful.

Before he left the Land of Snow, Koyuki had told him about her dream of becoming an actress, but she was troubled by the lack of good scripts.

After all, the Princess Koyuki's Adventures series had already been filmed.

So Naruto simply told her some stories about One Piece. Unexpectedly, after listening, she felt a burst of inspiration, and then she collaborated with the director to film this—'Princess Koyuki's Grand Pirate Adventure: The Search for One Piece!'

Naruto was glad that he hadn't told Koyuki about the story of the Ultra beings from the Land of Light bullying little monsters, otherwise, she might have filmed a—'Snowflake President's Cosmic Adventure: The Great Battle Against the King of Monsters.'

Whoosh!

The two were watching Koyuki filming a movie when a figure suddenly flashed in front of Naruto.

Karin was startled, but after seeing the Konoha forehead protector on the other party's head, she quickly calmed down.

Sasuke glanced at Karin, then looked at Naruto with some doubt, "Where's Kakashi?"

"Let's wait for Sakura to come over and talk together. Where did she go?" Naruto asked.

"She should be in her room. Didn't you say before you left that you wanted to protect her twenty-four hours a day? In that case, we can only work in two shifts." Sasuke said indifferently.

"Go and call her over, I have something to tell you." Naruto said.

Sasuke nodded and disappeared in a flash.

After a while, Sakura followed Sasuke over, yawning.

"Naruto, you're back~"

"Eh? Who is this?"

Sakura looked at Karin, who was also wearing a Konoha forehead protector, with a puzzled look.

"Her name is Karin, she's our future teammate," Naruto explained.

"Hello!"

Karin pushed up her glasses and greeted Sasuke and Sakura timidly.

"Hello!" Sakura smiled at her slightly, "My name is Sakura."

"Sasuke." Sasuke said expressionlessly to Karin.

Seeing that the three had greeted each other, Naruto continued, "Now I have been promoted to Jonin and am the team leader of Team Seven. Kakashi has withdrawn from Team Seven!"

Sakura and Sasuke both looked surprised.

They didn't expect Naruto to be promoted to Jonin after going back, and they didn't expect Kakashi to leave the team after going back!

"The next task arrangement is still about the same as before. You two continue to protect Koyuki in two shifts. Karin is not good at fighting, so she will not participate in this mission for the time being."

Naruto briefly arranged the follow-up tasks, and then said to Sakura, "Sakura, you first take Karin to find a room to put things down."

"Sasuke, tell me about the situation this month."

Sakura left with Karin after being instructed, but Naruto could see the resentment in her eyes.

Obviously, staying up all night for work was not a good thing for her.

As for Sasuke, he didn't have any change in expression and began to report the mission situation this month.
