"Haa!"
"Ryujiro you're truly amazing! That ninja was a Jonin!"
Naruto looked at Ryujiro with an expression of pure admiration.
Ryujiro sheathed his Zanpakuto and gazed at the devastated land before him, taking a deep breath.
"Naruto, remember this: this world is a place where it's either you or your enemy who survives."
"Only immense power can give you real leverage.
Small countries like the Land of Flowers have no real power, and they can only seek protection by relying on larger nations."
"The only way to achieve peace is through unification."
Unification?!
At this point, Naruto's thoughts weren't that mature, but hearing these words still sent a shiver through his heart.
What is this feeling?
Unified ninja world? Was it really possible?
The ninjas and daimyos on the high walls of the Land of Flowers, watching the commotion caused by the rogue ninja camp, were filled with fear in their eyes.
What are these rogue ninjas up to now?
Are they preparing for another wave of attacks?
"Lord Daimyo, someone is coming!"
The daimyo shuddered upon hearing this.
"Stay alert!"
The daimyo gritted his teeth, showing a look of unwillingness.
Damn those rogue ninjas, are they coming again?!
"No! It's not that!"
"Lord Daimyo! It's the Konoha ninjas! Konoha reinforcements are here!"
What?!
Konoha reinforcements!
The daimyo was first stunned, then cheered along with the ninjas around him.
The Land of Flowers was finally saved.
"Everyone, follow me down to welcome them."
"Yes!"
The daimyo and a group of ninjas, along with the high-ranking officials of the Land of Flowers, all went to the border to welcome the Konoha ninjas.
But when they saw Ryujiro and Naruto, everyone was stunned.
They were indeed Konoha ninjas.
But why were there only two kids?!
Did Konoha really send just two kids to support them?
What a joke!
The daimyo and the high-ranking officials of the Land of Flowers looked around, seemingly trying to find other Konoha ninjas.
But it seemed that only these two kids from Konoha had come to their aid
The daimyo's face turned ugly.
These big nations were too much!
What's the use of sending two brats for reinforcement?
These two brats were just here to die!
How could these despicable big nations mock them like this?
"Lord Daimyo, what should we do?"
The Jonin beside him showed a bitter smile.
"Ah, let's settle these boys first."
"They probably don't even know the mission they're undertaking."
The daimyo sighed helplessly, a look of misery on his face.
The shinobi world was just like this.
The strong prey on the weak.
The Jonin went out to welcome Ryujiro and Naruto, but his gaze suddenly fell on the object Ryujiro was holding.
Instantly!
The Jonin froze, his eyes widening in horror at the blood-stained round object.
Ryujiro, with a blank expression, tossed Keita's head over.
Seeing the head roll on the ground, the Jonin's face turned increasingly horrified.
Was this for real?
This head?!
The Jonin rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
After seeing clearly, he gasped.
"This is Keita's head!"
"Could it be?!"
He looked at Ryujiro in shock.
The huge commotion earlier wasn't caused by the rogue ninjas?
But by these two Konoha ninjas?!
If Keita's head is here, then that means...
"Excuse me..."
"Those rogue ninjas?"
The Jonin of the Land of Flowers asked nervously.
Ryujiro responded calmly, "The crisis in your country is over; all the rogue ninjas have been eradicated."
The Jonin covered his mouth, eyes wide with disbelief.
Unbelievable!
The rogue ninjas were taken out by two Konoha ninjas.
And one of them was a Jonin!
After reporting this, the high-ranking officials of the Land of Flowers were in an uproar.
The daimyo personally arranged for Naruto and Ryujiro's food, clothing, and lodging, and sent ninjas to the former rogue ninja camp to confirm the situation.
The news they received left the high-ranking officials of the Land of Flowers in shock.
The rogue ninja camp was utterly destroyed, bodies and dismembered limbs scattered everywhere.
The most terrifying sight was the land split in two, like a deep abyss, making anyone who looked at it from afar shiver in fear.
It was unimaginable what had transpired there.
Konoha was worthy of being the strongest ninja village, even after facing so many wars, their strength remained unfathomable.
The reward for this mission was a whopping 500,000 ryo.
Naruto, who had never seen so much money in his life, almost had his eyes pop out at the sight of the treasure chests.
For Ryujiro, money was just a worldly possession; in the face of disaster or war, it would be useless.
After staying in the Land of Flowers for a few days, Ryujiro and Naruto prepared to return to Konoha with the treasures provided by the Land of Flowers.
The daimyo watched Ryujiro and Naruto depart and slowly said to his subordinate.
"Contact the high officials of the Land of Fire; we will officially request to become an ally of the Land of Fire."
Since the Land of Lightning was unwilling to help, what was the point of keeping their agreement with them?
To the Land of Lightning, the Land of Flowers was just a small insect, insignificant.
They might as well seek Konoha's protection.
"Lord Daimyo, won't this offend the Land of Lightning?"
"Hmph!"
"The Land of Lightning has no credibility. If a disaster befalls the Land of Flowers, do you think they will send someone to protect us?"
"At least Konoha has a reliable reputation in the shinobi world. If it weren't for these two Konoha ninjas, our country would be..."
The subordinate understood and responded, then started preparing the documents for the Land of Fire.
—
"Money, money, so much money."
Naruto hugged the treasure chest, turning into a little money-grubber, rubbing his face against it.
Ryujiro looked on helplessly.
Doesn't Naruto seem like he's never seen money before?
The overall strength of the Land of Flowers was average, with few ninjas in the village, no wonder they were troubled by a group of rogue ninjas.
But wasn't the Land of Flowers an ally of the Land of Lightning?
Why was there no response from the Land of Lightning?
Just as Ryujiro finished pondering, several figures blocked the path of Ryujiro and Naruto.
Judging by their headbands, they were Cloud Ninjas.
