People are in Konoha, this Naruto lies flat

Chapter 244 Can it be a few years later?

When the two stopped again, they no longer knew which remote forest they had run into.

In the white fog, there was a rustling sound. Fenghua Xiaoxue was startled, and as soon as her long legs stepped on the ground, she jumped back on Naruto's body.

A lazy, world-weary beautiful face, the filter instantly shattered.

He said with a deep heart that he himself was a little scared when he looked at this deep mountain and old forest. Just when he was about to wake up all the corpses nearby, the heavy fog suddenly lifted.

"What place is this?"

"You ask me, how do I know." Naruto mumbled and removed Fenghua Koyuki's hand from around his neck, and said without mercy.

"Get ready, let's start here."

"Huh? What are you preparing for?" She looked at Naruto nervously. Could there be something else going on?

Naruto looked at her strangely, hesitated for a second and then said.

"The space inside is tight, don't pee on me."

Fenghua Xiaoxue almost spit out a mouthful of blood. She wanted to retort, but found that she was indeed being unreasonable. So she said coldly, "No."

"oh."

Naruto responded lightly, and Fenghua Koyuki was immediately itchy with hatred, her lazy expression almost unbearable. She turned her head expressionlessly, looking at another part of the forest with her icy blue eyes.

She still looks like a goddess on the outside, but secretly holds grudges in a small notebook in her heart.

With a bang, Naruto channeled the Space Jump Ninja Tool. Without any explanation, he let Fenghua Koyuki hug him into the iron ball. Then, he climbed in with difficulty.

There is a mark engraved on the space ninja tool, and the spirit can be channeled again after a space jump.

Inside the iron ball, the two people were curled up and squeezed together. The space jump was accompanied by violent shaking, and it was no longer a matter of dizziness. When it stopped again, Fenghua Xiaoxue could hardly open her eyes.

Naruto was so frustrated that he reluctantly climbed out and took a look. He was wrong again, the Country of Grass.

"Wrong, keep going."

Fenghua Koyuki no longer has the energy to speak. The load brought to the body by space jumping is huge. Only ninjas like Naruto can bear it. Two times is the limit for ordinary people.

"Take a rest, I'm going to die," she said.

"Okay." Naruto agreed simply, "This time the location is remote, we won't jump on top of other people's ninja village, and no one will bother you."

"If you want, you can even take a nap before leaving."

"Who would sleep in a place like this?" Fenghua Xiaoxue struggled to climb out of the iron ball, turned around and looked around, "This place looks very desolate, this is"

She turned around to ask Naruto, but saw him calmly pulling out a bed and gauze curtain, and throwing them on the ground. Fenghua Xiaoxue was stunned for a few seconds, and her pupils were shaking.

This desolate and yellow forest does not match this expensive-looking bed. It can be said to be very eye-catching.

"伱!!!" She took a few steps back.

Naruto stared at her, said "rest", and then ran to the space ninja tool to add a mark.

Fenghua Xiaoxue was shocked. When she wanted to rest, she simply found a place to sit. A more luxurious thing was to lean against a big tree and take a light nap.

After all, she also saw the current situation. A shabby iron-like space jumping machine was not considered a mature technology. She could accept the risk.

In order to reduce the weight, she had to squeeze into a small iron ball with a tall young man. If she squeezed any more, she would be pregnant, so she could understand.

But this person pulled out an exquisite luxurious bed from nowhere with his backhand. Isn't it a little too outrageous?

This was like wearing an Armani suit, eating steak, and driving a modified 120-yard tractor on the highway. It was completely incomprehensible. This bed completely broke her perception of difficult journeys.

Good guy, only transportation is crude and has certain risks, right?

Around sunset, Fenghua Xiaoxue stretched out his head from the quilt wrapped around his head. Under the dim orange light, Naruto sat not far away and treated his wounds.

"Have you rested?" He tore off the bandage, applied medicine, and tied it tightly.

The Kyuubi was not in his body, so the large wound healed slowly. It took half a day to barely heal the wound, but it would still take a day or two to fully heal.

Chakra can stimulate cells in the body, promote cell division, and help heal wounds. But in the past, Nine-Tails' chakra automatically healed wounds, and now he is not skilled at it.

"Is the injury serious?" She walked up to him and asked.

"Okay, I don't want to leave scars." Naruto said casually, "Now that you have rested, let's continue."

The bloody sunset faded in the wild, and Fenghua Xiaoxue squinted her eyes with yellow light. She wanted to say she didn't believe it, unless she opened it and let my sister see it.

But I felt that these words were too ambiguous, so I opened my mouth for a long time and swallowed them back. I groaned in my heart, what is a grown man afraid of leaving scars, and he didn't show me.

Another space jump, this time before the iron ball lid was opened, the temperature dropped sharply.

Naruto felt excited, it's here.

"It's so cold." Fenghua Xiaoxue was wearing a thin windbreaker, standing in the snow with her arms folded and shivering.

"Stop shaking." Naruto jumped out of the iron ball and threw his warm coat and white cloak to her. "It's my fault that I didn't remind you to bring clothes when you came."

"It might not fit you well, so just make do with what you wear."

Fenghua Xiaoxue's heart warmed slightly, and she thought that this man still had a lot to offer, and was about to thank him with a smile. Suddenly, she heard Naruto say again.

"We're already here, you won't run, right?"

Her smile froze on her face, okay, Fenghua Xiaoxue silently retracted those words. This person was just thinking about his mission all the time, and didn't care about her at all.

"No." She gritted her teeth and said.

But after a while, she lowered her head again. She felt that it was boring to have a temper with a child, and it made her look like a child. Although the two stood together, they were indeed equally tall in terms of height.

"That's good, this is the Land of Snow." Naruto walked in front and said, "Let's go, you follow me closely, it will be easier to protect you if there is danger."

"Oh." Fenghua Xiaoxue realized that she had really returned to the land of snow, and her mood suddenly dropped.

But at the moment, she could only follow Naruto obediently. The ice and snow were indeed dangerous, and besides, her uncle had never given up on arresting her in these years.

"Don't even think about running away. I remember your scent, so you can't run away." He added without looking back.

"Hmm, huh?" Fenghua Xiaoxue was slightly startled and looked at Naruto, "What?"

This sentence was a bit too ambiguous, but that guy actually knew a lot. She really couldn't treat Naruto as a child.

Naruto didn't completely turn back, he turned sideways and glanced at her with his narrow eyes. With a hint of seriousness, he stretched out his hand from his other pocket and pointed at her.

"It's best not to play tricks."

"I know." Fenghua Xiaoxue smiled guiltily.

She did have some hesitation in her heart before and did not have the courage to face the past. But after seeing him working so hard for the mission, she couldn't bear it.

If he left like this and caused his mission to fail, he would probably feel guilty for a long time.

With this thought in mind, she gritted her teeth and walked a few steps quickly to follow him. She was thinking of saying a few words to show her determination not to run away, but before she could say anything, she lost her balance and her body instantly lost balance.

"ah!!!!"

In order to maintain her balance, Fenghua Xiaoxue stepped on the air with a heavy kick, and the snow suddenly collapsed. Two seconds after she screamed, she felt her wrist being pulled with a snap.

Looking at Naruto's slightly helpless eyes, Fenghua Koyuki originally wanted to explain. But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them right, so she simply lowered her head and stopped talking.

"I accidentally missed something," she said.

"Okay." Naruto pulled her up without saying anything.

"Do you think I'm particularly troublesome?"

"It's okay." He took a few steps now and had to look back to prevent Fenghua Xiaoxue from having another accident.

What do you mean, okay, she muttered in her heart. The strong wind mixed with snow flakes roared past, and the ice shards almost hit her face.

She couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a few steps and approached, "Let's find a place to hide."

"Okay." Naruto agreed happily and quickly found a temporary cave to hide in.

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and it's already night.

"We can't walk today, let's rest." Naruto retracted his head and sealed the entrance of the cave with snow, leaving a vent.

Fenghua Xiaoxue watched Naruto neatly take out a pile of firewood from nowhere, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Are all ninjas like this?

With a roar, the fire ignited, dispelling the cold air around it.

Naruto didn't look at her, just wrapped his clothes tightly and just rested with his head down and eyes closed.

She stared at Naruto beside the fire, always feeling that she had to say something at this time. But she couldn't find any topic for a while, and the other person seemed to know more than she did.

"Are you cold?" Beside the fire, she regretted the words as soon as she said them.

Isn't this a show of IQ? How can it be cold next to a fire, and the opponent is a ninja? What is the meaning of such words? Damn it, how can your brain be confused at such a time?

Hearing this, Naruto opened his eyes, raised his head and glanced at her. His slightly distracted eyes condensed for a while, and he asked.

"What do you want to ask?"

"I didn't ask anything, what are you going to do?" She shrank and touched the fire, "I mean the mission, what are you going to do?"

"My uncle Feng Hua Furu Tao is the new king of the Snow Kingdom. He has many ninjas under his command. They are powerful and have a lot of advanced weapons."

"It's okay." He rubbed his brows.

"But you are alone, and you are still injured." Fenghua Xiaoxue said.

"Already healed."

"I don't believe it unless you show me." Fenghua Xiaoxue continued.

Naruto stared at her with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you looking at the wound?"

"I'm just concerned about whether you can complete the mission." Fenghua Xiaoxue said, "How can you alone deal with so many ninjas in the Land of Snow?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Naruto said, "Actually, the solution to this matter is also very simple."

"What is it?"

"Kill the old king and establish a new king."

"It can't be done. He has ruled this country for too long." Fenghua Xiaoxue said in a low mood, "There are ninjas inside and outside. How is it possible?"

"Even if I succeed, after that, I will only be able to act. Let alone running the country, I don't even have the courage to resist fate."

"The king that people support is a brave and fearless woman like Princess Fengyun who never gives up." She hugged her knees, "A person like me is not worthy of being a king at all."

Although Fenghua Koyuki returned to Konoha and offered to restart the mission, it did not mean that she was mentally prepared. She was still an actress, not a princess of the old king.

Naruto glanced sideways at Fenghua Koyuki next to the fire, watching the flames swaying on her face and the unsteady luster flashing in her eyes. He frowned and said.

"It's not whether you deserve to be the new king, it's that you have to become the new king."

After a pause, he spoke again.

"You have to figure something out. No one has asked for your opinion. When things have reached this point, you have no way out, and neither do I."

"For you, this is just a task." She couldn't help but retort.

"This is more than just a task." He stood up, walked to Fenghua Xiaoxue, and stared at her condescendingly. She suddenly panicked.

"What's wrong with you?" Fenghua Xiaoxue looked at the tall Naruto, her heart beating suddenly.

"I have an immature idea," he said.

"Um?"

"I forgot to tell you, the Land of Snow is frozen all year round, but there should be geothermal heat underneath." Naruto took out a necklace from his arms and let it go, hanging it like a pocket watch in front of her.

"Remember this?" he asked.

"Well, I gave it to you when we were at sea." Fenghua Xiaoxue said dullly, seeming to remember those days, "It's just a useless necklace."

"We'll know later whether it's useful or not." He smiled, put the necklace away and said, "I checked, this is a key. I guess there should be some kind of geothermal device in the Snow Country."

"So?" Fenghua Xiaoxue was confused by him.

In fact, there were many loopholes in Naruto's words, but at this moment, Fenghua Xiaoxue was already numbed by his various unreasonable operations. His brain completely gave up thinking, and all unreasonable things became reasonable to him.

"I will help you secure the throne and help you change the status quo of the Snow Country." Naruto said, "Accordingly, you have to pay some price."

"What. Price?"

"I want you" Naruto spoke without pausing, but the first phrase made Fenghua Koyuki's mind go blank, and the rest of the words could not be heard clearly.

"I want you to collect geothermal tax from the residents of Snow Country. The tax rate will not be too high and can be discussed later." He said, "How about it? Do you agree?"

"Huh?" Naruto looked at her, "Why are you so dazed?"

"Ah!" Fenghua Xiaoxue blinked, "I'm fine, what did you just say?"

"I asked you if you agree?"

"Ah, okay." She nodded, "But can we start a few years later?"

"How many years later?" Naruto frowned.

Damn it, the system option says to let the residents of the Land of Snow pay taxes for geothermal heating, but it doesn’t say when they will start paying taxes. If it is a few years later, it should be eligible for the option.

On the other hand, if the snow in the Snow Country melts, it will indeed take several years to transform, and it will not be able to bear too much tax.

No, you can start immediately. But setting a low tax rate, or even a zero tax rate, is a few years too late, right? He thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Okay, that's fine."

"Oh." Fenghua Xiaoxue's beautiful world-weary face turned red for a few seconds under the cover of the firelight.

I have a cold, so there are not many updates today. I will add another chapter tomorrow. If possible, please give me a vote, any vote will do.
