Traveling through the Naruto world to become the God King

On the high tower of the Water City, the city lord, Alvin Stormson, stood in front of the window, overlooking the blue lake. The sun shone through the water waves, shining with golden light. Although the scenery outside was picturesque, he felt uneasy in his heart.

"Alvin, what are you thinking about?" A gentle voice came from behind, interrupting his thoughts. It was his advisor, Milia, and her voice was as fresh and moving as the morning dew.

"I'm thinking about the Lord of Crystal City, Alpha." Alvin turned around, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes. "He seems very interested in my taking office. Does he have any conspiracy?"

Milia frowned slightly, walked forward, and whispered: "Alpha has always been thoughtful, and his interest may not only be in you personally. The relationship between Crystal City and Water City has always been delicate and cannot be taken lightly."

"I know, but I don't want him to think that I'm afraid of him." Alvin's voice was firm, and his eyes looked through the window, as if looking for something.

"But you can't ignore his strength." Milia reminded softly, "Crystal City is to the north of Water City, and their magicians are famous throughout the continent."

"So, I need to meet him." Alvin finally made up his mind, "I want to understand his true intentions."

Miria nodded, "If you decide to do this, I will go with you."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then a burly guard walked in with a serious look on his face. "City Lord, the envoys from Crystal City have arrived, and they request a meeting."

"Let them in." Alvin smiled slightly, but was secretly alert in his heart.

A moment later, Alpha walked in. He was wearing a gorgeous robe, holding a crystal scepter in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, and seemed to be full of curiosity about everything in the Water City.

"Alvin, congratulations on becoming the mayor of Water City." Alpha's voice was deep and magnetic. "I've always wanted to come and congratulate you in person."

"Thank you, Alpha." Alvin nodded slightly, but he was not at ease. "I heard that you showed great interest in my appointment?"

Alpha chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "Of course, I am interested in any new city lord, especially a young and promising leader like you."

"What do you want from me?" Alvin asked bluntly, not hiding his wariness.

"What I want is cooperation." Alpha's smile remained, but his tone became serious. "The cooperation between Crystal City and Water City can bring a win-win situation. We can jointly develop surrounding resources and even join forces to resist foreign enemies."

"It sounds great, but I need to know your true intentions." Alvin's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring straight at Alpha.

"Real intention?" Alpha was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter. "Alvin, you are really too young. Who do you think in this world will tell you their true intentions without reservation? I just want to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with you."

"Mutual beneficial relationship? You mean using me?" Alvin responded coldly.

"Use? No, I prefer cooperation." Alpha's voice was gentle, but there was a hint of threat in his eyes. "Of course, if you reject my proposal, Crystal City will not lack other partners."

Milia watched silently from the side, feeling uneasy about Alpha's attitude. She whispered to Alvin, "City Lord, maybe we can consider his proposal for the time being."

"Consider his proposal?" Alvin frowned, obviously not satisfied. "Do you think he will treat us sincerely?"

"I'm not saying that we should trust him completely, but we should judge the situation." Milia's voice was firm, "We can't let Crystal City completely out of our control."

"I understand what you mean." Alvin slowly relaxed his guard. "Alpha, I'd like to hear your plan."

"Very good." A trace of satisfaction flashed in Alpha's eyes. "I hope to establish a trade center in Water City to facilitate the exchange of materials between us. At the same time, I also want to introduce some magicians from Crystal City to help you improve the defense capabilities of Water City."

"It sounds good, but I need time to think about it." Alvin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he knew that temporary cooperation might be necessary.

"Of course, the time is understandable." Alpha smiled slightly, "I will wait for your reply in Crystal City."

With Alpha's departure, the conversation between Alvin and Milia resumes.

"Do you think he will really cooperate sincerely?" Alvin asked with a frown.

"I don't think he is a completely bad person, but his purpose is definitely not simple." Milia pondered for a moment and replied, "We must deal with it carefully."

Arno, the Lord of Thunder City, sat behind a large desk, his hands folded and his brows furrowed. Thunder roared outside the window, as if it was uneasy about the decision he was about to make. The Lord of Thunder was filled with worry about Alvin Stormson.

"Arno, what are you thinking about?" The adjutant Kyle beside him broke the silence. His voice was low and powerful, with a hint of concern.

"Kyle, I'm thinking about Alvin." Arno finally spoke, his voice as heavy as thunder. "The news that he became the city lord makes me uneasy. The storm is coming."

"Storm? Do you mean it will have an impact on the town?" There was a hint of doubt in Kyle's eyes, and he obviously didn't understand Arno's concerns.

"He is not just a city lord, he is the son of the storm." Arno stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the gloomy sky outside. "The power of thunder flows in his blood. Anyone who possesses such power may bring unpredictable consequences."

"But Alvin is not the kind of person who would easily abuse his power." Kyle tried to defend Alvin. "He has been protecting Thunder City all along. Don't you trust him?"

"Trust is not blind, Kyle." Arno turned around, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, "I know Alvin's abilities, and I know his inner struggles. The stronger his power, the deeper his inner conflict. We can't ignore this."

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door. Arno and Kyle looked at each other and then signaled each other to be quiet. Arno waved to open the door, and the door slowly opened, revealing a panting messenger.

"City Lord, urgent news!" The messenger almost rushed in with an anxious look on his face.

"Speak!" There was a hint of majesty in Arno's voice.

"Alvin has just announced that he will be giving a speech at tomorrow's rally about his plans to become city lord." The messenger's voice was shaking, obviously from the pressure of the news he was delivering.

"What is he going to say at the rally?" Kyle asked, a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

“I don’t know the details, but I heard that he wants to reshape the future of Thunder City,” the messenger replied, his eyes wandering.

"Reshape the future?" Arnault frowned even more. "What does it mean for him to make such a decision at this critical moment?"

"Mayor, maybe he just wants to bring new hope to the town." Kyle tried to defend Alvin, but his tone began to reveal uneasiness.

"Hope? Hope seems so small in the face of the storm." Arno smiled coldly, with a trace of determination in his eyes. "We must be prepared, Kyle."

"Prepare? Prepare for what?" Kyle was a little confused.

"If Irving's speech causes anxiety, then we must have countermeasures." Arno walked back to the desk and began to look through the documents. "We can't let anyone shake our confidence in Thunder City."

"I understand, City Lord." Kyle nodded, and began to feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

"Go and gather the town's guards and prepare for defense." Arno ordered with a firm look in his eyes, "I don't want to see any chaos at tomorrow's rally."

"Yes, Lord." Kyle left quickly, leaving Arno alone to face the coming storm.

As night fell, the streets of Thunder City were brightly lit, but everyone felt uneasy. In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Arno and his advisors gathered to discuss the upcoming meeting.

"Everyone knows that Irwin's speech is of vital importance." Arno looked at everyone present with a firm gaze, "We must ensure the stability of the town and not let anyone take advantage of this opportunity to create chaos."

"But, Lord Mayor, Alvin is our hero," a young advisor interrupted, "We should support him instead of doubting him."

"Support and vigilance are not contradictory." Arno shook his head. "I respect Alvin's courage, but we must keep a clear head."

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and Alvin walked in. His aura was as shocking as thunder, and he was followed by several guards. Alvin's eyes swept over everyone present, and finally fell on Arno.

"Arno, I heard that you are worried about me?" Alvin's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of challenge.

"I just want to ensure the peace of Thunder City." Arno responded without flinching, "Your speech tomorrow will attract the attention of many people. I hope you can take this into consideration."

"Of course I will consider it." Alvin smiled slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, "But I also have my ideals. I want to make Thunder City stronger."

"Being powerful does not mean taking risks." Arnault's tone became more severe. "You must understand that behind power is responsibility."

"I know." Alvin's voice was low and firm. "I will take this responsibility, but I also hope you can trust me."

"Trust is not unconditional." Arnault sighed and softened his tone. "I will support you, but I will also be alert to possible risks."

"This is what I hope for." Alvin nodded, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "At the rally tomorrow, I will let everyone see the future of Thunder City."

"That's good." Arno smiled slightly, and his worries were slightly relieved.

As the night deepened, the streets of Thunder City were still brightly lit, but people's hearts were always filled with a tense atmosphere. Tomorrow's rally would be the prelude to a storm or the beginning of new hope. No one could predict.

The next day, the sun shone through the clouds onto the square of Thunder City. Thousands of citizens gathered together, looking forward to Alvin's speech. Arno stood aside, his eyes burning, praying in his heart, hoping that everything would go smoothly.

"Fellow citizens, I stand here today to share my dream with you." Irving stood on the high platform, his voice loud and clear, echoing in the square. His eyes were firm, as if they could penetrate everyone's heart.

"Thunder City is our home, and we should work together to make it more prosperous." Alvin continued, his voice full of passion.

"However, we also have to face challenges." He paused, his eyes flashing with a deep light, "Storms may come at any time, but we must unite and meet every challenge in the future!"

People in the square responded with warm applause, but Arno felt a little uneasy in his heart. He knew that every word of Irving could become the fuse that triggered a storm.

However, the top executives of Storm City were in a dimly lit conference room with solemn expressions, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was almost suffocating.
