Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 78 We Can Be Friends (First Update! And More!)
The cruise ship docked and the crowd pushed and shoved their way ashore.

Naruto and Karin walked at the end.

"It seems there are no extra ninjas." Karin stood on tiptoe and looked around.

There were only two ninja teams at the dock, responsible for maintaining order and performing normal patrols.

There were no other ninjas who were temporarily arranged and came specifically for the two of them.

This surprised her.

Naruto is now a very powerful person.

When they were at the border of the Land of Fire and a little closer to those small countries, the ninja villages to which they belonged would immediately become tense and serious, and some would even go on war alert.

Kirigakure didn't make any preparations?

"We are just tourists." Naruto said softly, walking in front, "After all, Kirigakure is one of the five major ninja villages, and they must be confident in their own strength."

Karin followed, she was just puzzled about Kirigakure's attitude, it would be best without those ninjas so that she could travel happily.

The destination of their journey this time was very clear. They headed towards the Hidden Mist Village without stopping.

When they were approaching the village, they stopped.

"I think I spoke too early." Xianglin looked ahead and whispered, "It's not that they didn't make preparations, they just changed their approach."

At the entrance of the village stood a female ninja with long brown-red hair and wearing a tube top dress.

Next to him was a male ninja with serious facial features, "talisman" ornaments hanging from his ears, and his right eye tightly covered with an eyepatch. He was none other than the Anbu leader Chang Qing of Kirigakure.

Under his eye patch, there is only one "white eye" leaking out.

Naruto could be observed from a distance of one kilometer.

"Lady Terumi Mei." Ao spoke, his tone heavy, "Uzumaki Naruto is here."

"How does he look?" Mei Terumi asked.

The Byakugan has the ability to see into the chakra in the body.

It can intuitively confirm whether a person is strong.

Qing swallowed his saliva. The pressure from just observing him made him tighten his tone. "His chakra is as strong as the tailed beast, like the sun."

The words are not finished yet.

The self-protection mechanism of the talisman pendant on the right ear was suddenly triggered, twisting and expanding, and clinging to the eye mask.

But the next second, it shattered with a "crack".

Qing quickly turned his head, looked away, and covered his right eye, with a few traces of blood flowing out from between his fingers.

"Qing!" Mei Terumi was startled and pulled out her hands, mobilizing her chakra.

"Lady Terumi Mei, the Byakugan is fine!" Qing said hastily, "It was my insight that was discovered by Uzumaki Naruto."

Mei Terumi restrains her chakra.

"Is this how Kirigakure welcomes travelers?" At this moment, the blond and red-haired man instantly walked up to them, their voices and tones very gentle.

Mei Terumi looked at Naruto and smiled, "You are not an ordinary traveler."

"I apologize to you on behalf of Qing."

"This guy relied too much on his own abilities and used them subconsciously."

Naruto nodded and responded with a polite smile, "Thank you for the welcome."

He was about to take a step and walk into the village.

"Wait." Mei Terumi said.

Naruto looked back at her.

"Instead of the two of you touring the village on your own, why not have a guide?" Mei Terumi bowed slightly, her attitude sincere, "Whatever your purpose is, wouldn't it be more convenient to communicate directly with Kirigakure?"

In more than half a year, Naruto has grown a lot taller and is only half a head shorter than Mei Terumi.

His face was calm: "Of course it's no problem, but who are you to Kirigakure?"

"You can probably be considered the acting Mizukage," Terumi thought for a moment and gave her answer.

She is now the leader of the village and handles all matters, big and small.

But strictly speaking, it is not a "water shadow".

The current leader of Kirigakure is the elder "Genshi". Without his approval, even if one has the power of "Kage", one cannot be called "Water Kage".

"Kage?" Naruto looked her over. "Does the Kage of Kirigakure have so much time?"

Mei Terumi shook her head: "There are plenty of people who can handle the affairs of the village."

"But not just anyone can be your tour guide."

Naruto agreed: "Then I'll trouble you for the next period of time."

"Brother Naruto, please give me your guidance." Mei Terumi smiled brightly, her body shaking.

Xianglin looked at her, then lowered her head to look at herself, and at the end of the view, there were shoes.

This made her unable to help but sigh.

Mei Terumi seemed to hear it and smiled even more brightly.

Qing apologized and thanked Naruto, then left instantly.

Mei Terumi led them into the village.

Kirigakure is not as prosperous as Konoha, and is even inferior to some prosperous towns in the Land of Fire.

"This village has experienced some very bad things." Terumi Mei introduced, "It has been recuperating in recent years and is gradually recovering."

"But it's still not as good as those countries on land."

"In a village like ours, Naruto-chan, would you mind telling me the purpose of your visit?"

Naruto looked at her, took the special snacks that Karin bought from a roadside stall, and nodded: "I want to see what Kirigakure and the Land of Water are like, and what's the difference between them and the Land of Fire and Konoha."

"I also want to ask Kirigakure for something."

Mei Terumi's heart skipped a beat and her expression turned serious.

It turns out there is a special purpose.

But what would he want?
She was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "I just thought very hard, I wonder if there is anything in Kirigakure that would catch your eye."

Kirigakure was once very powerful.

There are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and two Jinchūriki. But now...
Almost all of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen defected, leaving only one sword behind, and that sword was a prodigy who had not fully grown up.

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki also defected and disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown.

It can be said that the Three-Tails is still in the hands of the village, but the vacancy of the Jinchūriki has never been filled.

Today, Kirigakure is the last among the “Five Great Countries”.

That is, the Water Kingdom is located on the sea, almost isolated from the rest of the world and protected by natural barriers.

Otherwise, a war would have been launched against it and it would have been divided and swallowed up by the other four major countries.

"About twenty years ago, the Whirlpool Country was destroyed overnight." Naruto smiled and continued, "Was Kirigakure involved?"

Mei Terumi looked at Naruto and nodded: "That's true."

At that time, she was about the same age as Naruto is now, so she had experienced it firsthand.

But what's the point of mentioning this?
"I think Kirigakure should return the things that once belonged to the Whirlpool Country to me, the descendant of the Uzumaki clan." Naruto made a suggestion, "What do you think?"

Mei Terumi's heart dropped. "Are you here for something from the Land of Whirlpools?"

"Then I'll have someone prepare it."

She left in an instant and came back quickly.

Without mentioning the outcome of this incident, he continued to take Karin and Naruto to visit the Hidden Mist Village.

In a conference room in the Shuiying Building.

The five jonin took their seats.

In the center is an old man with completely bald hair and few teeth left.

"Lady Terumi Mei has sent news that Uzumaki Naruto's goal is to obtain things from the Uzumaki clan from us." Qing opened his mouth and told the information he had just obtained.

A jonin frowned, "It's a request, not a trade?"

"Let Mei Terumi make a deal with him!" Another older jonin spoke up in a tough tone, "You don't want to give anything, you just want to take it away."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by others: "Don't forget, his name is Uzumaki Naruto."

At the end, he repeated his last name: "His last name is Uzumaki."

It is perfectly legitimate for Uzumaki to ask for things from the Uzumaki family.

"Let Mei Terumi find an opportunity to spar with him." Someone thought carefully and suggested, "Test his strength."

"If it's really as the rumors say, there's nothing wrong with giving it to him to make friends with powerful people."

"If your strength is average, then..."

This made many people agree with it.

If they are strong, make friends with them; if they are weak, don't care about them.

Qing shook his head: "I don't agree."

The other jonin looked at him in surprise.

"You have never had any contact with Uzumaki Naruto." Qing's tone was heavy, "You thought it was a test."

"In his eyes, it might be a provocation."

"It would be great if Lady Terumi Mei could beat him, but if she can't, he won't treat this as a competition, and the outcome is beyond our control."

Some people frowned, some people sneered.

Ao raised his hand and placed it on his eye mask, "Mei Terumi and I will be at the entrance of the village to greet Uzumaki Naruto."

"I was just using my Byakugan to see through his chakra, but he fought back and injured my eyes."

"The strong have the dignity of the strong."

The other jonin were silent.

"Master Yuanshi, what do you think?" A Jonin looked at the old man at the head of the table and asked cautiously.

The old man holding the snake-shaped wooden staff spoke in an old voice: "Let Mei Terumi choose."

"She is the one who will lead the village in the future."

"We have never had any contact with Uzumaki Naruto, so we should choose to trust her instead of making a rash decision."

Qing stood up and said, "Master Yuanshi, I will go and prepare the things that Uzumaki Naruto asked for."

Master Yuan nodded.

after an hour.

Mei Terumi, Naruto, and Karin had just finished visiting the Kirigakure Ninja School.

A yaburu landed, looking respectful, holding a bunch of scrolls in his arms.

"It looks like everything is ready." Mei Terumi smiled, "Shall we find a place to sit down and talk?"

Naruto nodded in agreement.

In a restaurant, just sat down.

Mei Terumi waved her hand and asked the Anbu to place the scroll in front of Naruto: "This is the heritage of all the Whirlpool Kingdoms in our village."

“History, knowledge, records.”

"I made them take them all out."

Naruto pushed them in front of Karin, "How refreshing! I thought it would take a little more effort."

"There's no need to make an enemy of a powerful ninja for something that doesn't belong to us." Terumi Mei said softly, glancing at the piles of scrolls without any reluctance.

Moreover.
Over the past twenty years, most of these things have been thoroughly studied, and even if they have not been fully studied, they have been backed up and preserved.

"We can be friends." She finalized the nature of this matter.

Naruto smiled, "We should be able to be friends."

Mei Terumi took a deep breath and said, "I won't beat around the bush. Kirigakure has a request."

"Whether you agree or not, Naruto-kun, it will not affect our friendship."

"But I hope you'll listen."

Naruto nodded: "Go ahead."
