Traveling through the Naruto world to become the God King

On the top of the high tower of Storm City, the morning light poured in through the window, shining on the face of Alvin Stormson. His brows were slightly furrowed, looking a little unhappy. The Storm City Lord, Griffin, was sitting on a large chair beside him, his hands folded together, but his expression showed a hint of disdain.

"Alvin, your manners are truly disappointing," Griffin said coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

Alvin was slightly stunned, and then a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Oh? Lord Griffin, are you teaching me how to be a qualified leader? Or do you think I should be like you, a person without any personality?"

"What's your attitude?" Griffin's voice rose a few degrees, his eyes flashing with anger, "As the heir of Storm City, you should understand responsibility and respect!"

"Responsibility and respect? I don't think following your every instruction is respect." Alvin's tone became sharp, looking directly at Griffin, "What you call responsibility is nothing more than your personal power game."

Griffin stood up and took a step forward, furious. "Are you challenging my authority? Alvin, you must understand that the future of Storm City lies in unity, not your meaningless resistance!"

"Unity? What you call unity is nothing more than making everyone submit to your will!" Alvin did not give in, his eyes were firm, "I will not be your puppet, Griffin."

At this time, there was a light knock on the door, interrupting their argument. The door slowly opened, and in walked Emily, Storm City's consultant. She looked at the two with a trace of worry on her face.

"What happened?" Emily asked, her eyes flickering between the two of them.

"Alvin is challenging my authority here!" Griffin said angrily, with accusatory tone in his voice.

"I'm just defending my beliefs." Alvin responded coldly, secretly disdainful in his heart.

Emily sighed, walked to the table, folded her hands, and seemed to be thinking about something. "What we need now is cooperation, not quarrels. Storm City is facing external threats, and internal strife will only make us more vulnerable."

"External threat?" Alvin raised his eyebrows, a hint of disdain on his lips, "Do we still have to rely on Griffin's decision? Every choice he makes puts us in trouble!"

"That's enough, Alvin!" Griffin roared, "You are always so self-righteous. Can't you consider the interests of the entire Storm City?"

"Of course I consider the interests of Storm City," Alvin retorted, "but I will never give up my principles to cater to your ideas!"

Emily saw the two arguing, and her heart tightened, so she decided to intervene. "We need a solution, not to continue arguing. Griffin, can you tell us what the current external threat is?"

Griffin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Recently, there are rumors that the dark forces in the north are gathering and preparing to attack us." He paused, his eyes lingering on Alvin, "and our current internal disputes will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage."

Alvin's expression changed slightly. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew that what Griffin said was not groundless. "If this is true, then we must unite to resist the foreign enemies."

"You finally understand." Griffin's tone softened a little, but still contained a hint of disdain. "So, what should we do next?"

"I suggest holding a city-wide meeting to explain the situation to all lords and citizens and win their support," Emily suggested, with a gleam of wisdom in her eyes.

"A city-wide meeting?" Alvin frowned. "If we can't reach a consensus among ourselves, how can we expect others to support us?"

"So we need to reach an agreement before the meeting." Griffin said calmly, his eyes firm. "Alvin, are you willing to put aside your prejudices and face this threat with me?"

Alvin was silent for a moment, thinking. He knew that although he and Griffin had differences, the current situation forced him to consider cooperation. "Okay, I'm willing to try, but the premise is that we must ensure the fairness of the meeting."

"Fairness?" Griffin sneered. "Do you think I would manipulate the meeting?"

"I hope you understand that a leader's responsibility is not only to give orders, but also to listen and cooperate." Alvin looked directly at Griffin with a firm tone.

"I'll consider your suggestion." Griffin finally nodded. Although he was still dissatisfied, he knew that the current situation required them to work together.

The day of the meeting soon arrived. Citizens gathered in the square of Storm City, their faces full of expectation and worry. Alvin and Griffin stood on the stage, with many eyes staring at them.

"Dear citizens," Griffin spoke first, his voice loud and powerful, "We hold this meeting today to face the impending threat together. The dark forces in the north are approaching, and we must unite to protect our homeland."

"I know that there have been some disputes within Storm City recently, but we must put aside these differences." Alvin took over the conversation with a firm tone, "We cannot let personal grudges affect the safety of the entire city. We must work together to resist foreign enemies!"

There were whispers from the crowd, and Emily watched quietly from the side, secretly relieved. Although the relationship between the two leaders was still tense, the spirit of cooperation they showed at the critical moment gave people hope.

Elvin Stormson stood on the other side, looking confident, with a determined light in his eyes. The air was filled with tension, and both sides knew that this negotiation was about the future of the two countries.

"Dark City representative," Alvin cleared his throat, his voice as loud as thunder, "your attack not only destroyed our border, but also constituted a serious provocation to the Magic Kingdom of Alfa. We demand ten times your compensation as a punishment!"

The representative of the Dark City, named Nok, frowned and slowly stood up. His voice was deep and powerful: "Elvin Stormson, I understand your anger, but we did not participate in this attack. We have evidence that it was a conspiracy of the Great Dark Magician. You cannot punish us for the mistakes of others."

"Evidence?" Alvin sneered, "What can your evidence prove? In this game, the truth is often covered up, and only profit is king. We can't let the Dark City get away with it!"

Nok tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking. "Alvin, I hope you can calm down. We propose to continue the peaceful solution approach and sit down to talk it out instead of blaming each other."

"Talk?" Alvin sneered. "Do you think I will believe the promise of the Dark City? Your betrayal has made us lose trust!"

At this time, another Dark City representative named Leah interrupted and said, "Alvin, war is not the solution to the problem. We can investigate together and find out the truth instead of letting innocent people pay the price for your hatred."

"Innocent?" Alvin's tone became fierce. "Who is truly innocent in this world? The relationship between your city and the Great Dark Magician makes it impossible for me to believe in your innocence."

Nok showed helplessness and tried to ease the atmosphere: "We all know that the struggle in the magic world is complicated and dangerous. Instead of arguing here, we should face this threat together. The Great Dark Magician is our real enemy!"

Alvin's eyes softened slightly, as if he was touched by Knok's words. He looked up at him and said in a slightly softer tone: "You are right, Knok. The shadow of the Great Dark Magician is covering the entire magic world. We cannot let him succeed."

Seeing this, Leah seized the opportunity and said, "Then, can we reach a consensus? We can investigate together, find out the real mastermind, and end this meaningless fight."

Alvin was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that continuing to fight would only make the situation worse, but he was unwilling to let go of his anger easily. Finally, he sighed and said, "Okay, I agree to the investigation. But if you conceal any information, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Nok smiled slightly, as if he saw hope: "This is the result I expected. We can form a joint investigation team and find out the truth as soon as possible."

The atmosphere in the conference room gradually eased, and representatives from both sides began to discuss the specific investigation plan. The conversation between Irwin and Nok gradually turned to the details of the cooperation, while Leah recorded important information on the side.

"We need to have a clear division of labor," Nock suggested. "I suggest that we each send two representatives to form a four-person team."

"I can send my deputy, Kyle," Alvin said, his eyes firm, "He is very experienced in reconnaissance."

"Then I'll send my assistant Emily, who is very good at information gathering," Nok responded.

"This way, we will have a strong team." Leah nodded in agreement, "We can use our respective resources to find clues as quickly as possible."

As the discussion deepened, the relationship between the two sides gradually eased, and the former hostility was replaced by a willingness to cooperate. In the conference room, the tension between Alvin and Nok dissipated a lot, and they even began to share their experiences and strategies with each other.

"The magic of your dark city is indeed unique," Alvin couldn't help but admire. "I have seen your dark spells in books. They are amazing."

Nok smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Alvin. In fact, I also admire the light magic of the Alfa Magic Kingdom. We each have our own merits."

"Yes, the balance between light and dark is the true meaning of magic." Leia interrupted, with a gleam of wisdom in her eyes.

After some in-depth exchanges, the relationship between the two sides gradually became harmonious. Although the conflicts of the past still exist, they are willing to put aside their prejudices and work together for the common goal.

"We are scheduled to meet next week to conduct the first investigation." Irwin finally said, with a hint of anticipation in his tone, "I hope there will be new progress by then."

Nok nodded in agreement. "We will, Alvin. We will do everything we can to find out the truth."

As the meeting came to an end, the representatives of both sides gradually dispersed. Alvin walked out of the conference room with mixed feelings. He knew that this cooperation was not easy, but for the future of Alfa Magic Kingdom, he was willing to try.

"Alvin, have you really decided not to give in?" Alpha, a young knight beside him, asked with a worried look on his face.

"Alpha, war is inevitable." Alvin's voice was low and firm, "We can't turn back. The Alpha Magic Kingdom is no longer the cowardly country it once was."

Alpha sighed slightly and turned to look at the dark forest in the distance. "But, Son of Storm, the enemy is not a pushover. Their army has gathered at the border. Do we have enough strength?"

"Strength is not the only key." Alvin said slowly, with wisdom shining in his eyes, "We have not only magic, but also will and faith."

At this moment, a burly warrior came over from the other side of the city wall. He was an old friend of Alvin, named Derek, and he was once the captain of the kingdom's guard. "Alvin, what are you talking about?" Derek's voice was like thunder, "Our soldiers are all worried, they need clear guidance."

"I know they're worried, Derek." Alvin turned and looked Derek in the eye. "But I believe our determination will lead them to victory. We can no longer be afraid like we have been in the past."
