Naruto: Spirit of Life

There were a lot of troubles along the way, and finally we arrived at Sunagakure Village!

Gaara was currently wearing a Kazekage Goddess robe and a hat, standing at the front, with Temari, Kankuro, Maki and a group of Sunagakure Village elders behind him to greet him.

Maki's face is now very pale, and new skin has grown. During the Chunin Exam, he almost died in Maya's hands. Although he survived, he was also seriously injured and his skin ulcerated. It took half a year for everything to heal and I could resume normal travel.

Tsunade, Maya, and Kurama Yakumo walked into the sight of Sunagakure Village from a distance. When they saw Maya and Kurama Yakumo behind Tsunade, Gaara, Maki, Temari, and Kankuro's pupils couldn't help but smile. He shivered and shivered all over.

"Kurama Yakumo...the phantom of Konoha! How could she..."

Temari took an unnatural step back. The scene that was almost erased still lingered in her mind for a long time. The scene that evaporated the light in the end made Sunagakure Village and Otogakure Village remember Kurama Yakumo. , the name of Konoha's Phantom Demon spread throughout the entire ninja world.

"Gaara..."

Temari suppressed the fear in her heart and looked at Gaara in front of her with concern, wearing a Kazekage hat and a god robe.

"I'm fine, Temari, Kankuro, I will protect you and the entire Sunagakure Village!"

Gaara regained his composure, and his plain words were filled with determination, allowing Temari and Kankuro to regain their composure, and the fear in their hearts was slowly dissipated.

Maki looked at Maya and felt a tingling sensation all over his body. The burning feeling and the whirlwind of fire dancing in the Chuunin Exam were vivid in his mind. He really escaped from death that time and almost failed.

Maya, Kurama Yakumo followed Tsunade and came to the gate of Sunagakure Village. Tsunade and Gaara shook hands in a friendly way.

"Hokage-sama! Welcome to Sunagakure Village."

"Kazekage-sama is really young and promising!"

After Tsunade and Gaara exchanged pleasantries for a while, they walked in together, with Maya and Kurama Yakumo following behind Tsunade, along with Temari and Kankuro.

Along the way, Temari and Kankuro froze and looked very reserved. On the way to the guest house, the residents of Sunagakure Village looked at them curiously.

"That's Naruto!"

"Wait a minute, the woman behind the Hokage is a genma, a genma from Konoha!"

"Oh my God, is she here to destroy our Sunagakure Village?"

"It's Konoha's phantom!"

……

All the people who had just gathered ran away, and some confused children were quickly picked up by their parents and taken home.

Tsunade joked quite playfully and said: "Master Kazekage, I never thought that the reputation of my subordinates is even louder than mine in your village!"

Gaara remained calm and composed and replied: "Hokage-sama, Kurama Yakumo-sama's reputation has spread throughout the ninja world. No one in the world knows about it. I believe that Hokage-sama also knows it."

Kurama Yakumo behind her had a slumped face. She could already imagine how her reputation would be spread by Sunagakure Village's reaction, but it was better to be famous than unknown. Among the ninjas of similar age to her, including Maya, Who has made a name for herself like her.

Arriving at the guest house, Tsunade and Gaara had a secret conversation. Maya, Kurama Yakumo, Temari, Kankuro, and Maki guarded the door.

"Hello...Mr. Markey."

Maya suddenly said hello, causing Ma Ji to turn around mechanically and politely said: "Hello, Your Excellency Maya!"

Maya Yan pointedly said: "Maki-dono is indeed a well-known Jōnin of Sand Hidden Village. You can escape under my combined ninjutsu. I admire you. I admire you. I never thought that in addition to wind escape, Maki-dono's earth escape skills are also great." It’s not shallow either!

Ma Ji lowered his head, clenched his fists unwillingly, gritted his teeth, and finally sighed with relief and said: "A hero comes from a young age. This may be the fate among ninjas. Your Excellency Maya can perform this at a young age. If you use the combination of wind and fire ninjutsu, you can't even imagine your future achievements."

Of course Maki hated Maya, who had hurt him so badly that he almost died, but the fate of ninjas was like this between enemies. Their skills were inferior to others, so he couldn't blame anyone else but himself.

Maya was also startled and said flatly: "Fatalism is nonsense and annoying. The feeling of being arranged is like a puppet on a string, negating everything you do and all your efforts."

"Oh..." Maki, Temari, and Kankuro were startled, and even Kurama Yakumo glanced at Maya.

……

Tsunade and Gaara were discussing the issue of ninja villages and daimyo.

Gaara was immediately dumbfounded. He had only become a Kazekage not long before he would encounter this kind of thing.

However, it was only a brief absence, and he recovered quickly, and continued talking to Tsunade for a long time. Finally, after the conversation, Gaara asked before Tsunade was about to leave: "Hokage-sama, Naruto, he how is it now."

"Naruto, he and Jiraiya are out training now."

Tsunade mentioned Naruto and looked a little nostalgic. It has been a year since that time. Time flies so fast.

Gaara looked indifferent, with a curve on his lips, and said with a smile: "He will become stronger by then!"

"Yes! Absolutely, but if that guy Naruto knows that you have become the Kazekage, his jaw will definitely drop out of surprise."

Tsunade smiled, thinking of how Naruto clamored to be the Hokage every day, and his reaction at that time must have been wonderful.

……

I stayed at the guest house in Sunagakure Village. The environment here is very poor, very poor. Due to environmental reasons, resources are scarce. Sandstorms and sandstorms are often common. Water resources are also scarce. Even bathing here is very luxurious. It's really a night. I went out for a walk with Kurama Yakumo and bought some local souvenirs before returning.

As soon as she came back, Tsunade looked at Maya and Kurama Yakumo who had empty hands, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, how many mini scrolls had Maya hidden here!

"Hokage-sama, why are you in my room?" Kurama Yakumo asked in confusion.

Tsunade took out the sieve cup and said angrily: "Let's continue playing Ludo. I haven't thrown a six yet. I'm not willing to accept it."

Zhen Zhen couldn't help but hold his forehead and said: "Master, you should go to bed. Even if your dice breaks, you can't even roll six. Have you and Gaara settled everything?"

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "It's no problem. We can leave tomorrow. By the way, what did you buy when you went out?"

Kurama Yakumo looked speechless and said: "Hokage-sama, you don't know something. The merchants are basically people from the Snow Country. Now the entire economic circle of Sunagakure Village is said to be controlled by the Snow Country and does not serve the country. , all the local businesses in Sunagakure Village are gone."

Maya replied: "This is also a helpless method. The economic circle of Sunagakure Village relies on the country of snow, and Konoha is like this, let alone Sunagakure Village. Gaara did the right thing, and can only open it up through opening up market to attract investment from the Country of Snow.”
