Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 154

For such a long time, no travelers or merchants living in the outer city had seen that female ninja.

And that female Jonin, according to intelligence, is quite attractive...

Therefore, many people suspect that this female ninja has become the plaything of the all-powerful minister.

"A plaything? How terrifying..." Naruto couldn't even imagine what would happen if Sakura were caught by this lecherous, all-powerful minister. "Sakura, by the way, where is Sakura now? Sai!"

"Labor camp inmate number 88, Naruto!"

"Don't you want to eat?!"

"No, no, I'm sorry!" Naruto quickly bowed his head and apologized after hearing the prison guard's warning words behind him.

At this moment, Daichi, now dressed in a prison guard uniform, scratched his hat, thinking to himself, "Following the ancient kingdom of Loulan really has a bright future! Before, I could never have been so successful, able to command Konoha ninjas..."

It's a pity I can't go to the women's prison, otherwise...

"I don't know where Sakura is either. She's probably been captured by now." Sai shook his head.

"Alright, let me continue."

"Hmm, buddy, hurry up and tell me. But, I feel like you look like someone else?!" Naruto scratched his head.

Minato Namikaze waved his hand and said, "We don't have much time. Let's talk about these things later. Let me continue with what happened next."

"Ok!"

Next, Shuimen began to recount the rapid progress of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

First of all.

Since the omnipotent minister took over the Loulan Kingdom, it is said that he has been assassinated no less than twenty times, but all of them have failed.

The bounty offered by the Gold Exchange for the All-Powerful Minister has been increased from 180 million to 300 million.

However, the increase in the bounty was most likely due to the fact that some of Loulan's subsequent inventions and policies had shaken the interests of many upper-class forces.

"In just over six months."

"The ancient Loulan Kingdom, using some unknown technology, created an item that could communicate over long distances."

"Named as mobile phone or cell phone."

"The appearance of this thing has most likely affected some of the interests of us ninjas."

"Currently, this invention can only be used within the city of Loulan. But no one dares to say whether it will become universally applicable in the future."

"Doesn't that mean I can send information back to Konoha in the Land of Fire just by standing here in the Land of Wind?" Naruto asked in alarm.

“That’s right!” Minato nodded. “When this item first appeared, it aroused the resentment of many daimyo. Soon, a country dispatched a large number of ninja teams, intending to destroy the country of Rouran…”

"Hiss—and then?" Naruto gasped and asked.

"Total destruction."

Minato Namikaze, with a grave expression, stated a fact that had occurred three months prior:

"The only person who made the move was the Almighty Minister."

"And the other party."

"It's an Iwagakure army of about a thousand men!"

"The battle is said to last only a moment."

Chapter 126 The Sixth Great Ninja World: The Ancient Kingdom of Loulan

"A fleeting moment?"

"impossible."

Beside him, Sai calmly responded:

"If that's the case, then probably no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village would be a match for this person now!"

Minato Namikaze scratched his head: "That's just how it is. No matter how unbelievable it may seem, it really happened."

"That's why we sent a team to investigate this all-powerful minister."

Tread-tap-

Before Sai and Naruto could speak, Daichi walked over, picked up a plate of food, and threw it in front of Sai: "Eat up. If you can't do any work this afternoon, you'll be in for it."

Sai: "..."

After a moment of silence, Sai glanced down at the food and his pale face twitched slightly: "Is the food really that bad?"

On the iron plate, there was a pile of bean sprouts, a little minced meat, and some rice that looked like it was of very poor quality...

"You're lucky you even have anything to eat. Do you think criminals expect us to treat you to a feast? Pshaw!"

As Daichi prepared to leave, recalling Minato Namikaze's earlier flattery, he said in a deep voice:

"besides."

"The Omnipotent Lord is not something that ordinary ninjas like you can discuss or comment on."

"That's the new generation's God of Shinobi!"

After Daido finished speaking and walked away, Naruto started eating, still unconvinced: "What kind of all-around minister is he? If I ever met him, I'd definitely show him the power of a Konoha ninja, Uzumaki Naruto!!"

"I agree with you, Naruto," Sai said calmly, and began to eat. After all, if he didn't eat this meal, he didn't know when he would have his next meal after finishing his work.

Choza Akimichi nudged Minato with his elbow. Minato looked over, and Choza whispered, "This kid looks just like you. Could it be...?"

Minato Namikaze smiled slightly, nodded, and lowered his voice as well, saying, "It's probably my and Kaori's future child."

"How enviable," Shiranui Kumom muttered to herself. "I wish my child could meet me from the future too...."

After finishing her meal, You Nu Zhiwei placed her hands on the table, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes behind her sunglasses: "Me too."

......

Prisoners in the ancient Loulan Kingdom ate at noon, rested for an hour in the canteen after eating, and officially started work at 1 p.m.

Prisoners need to go to a special changing room, take off their original clothes, and put on the corresponding prisoner uniforms made by Loulan. After the prisoners come out dressed, the prison guards will grant each prisoner a certain amount of chakra and energy permissions on their bracelets...

"Chakra restored! Perfect opportunity!! Naruto, let's run..."

Minato Namikaze calmly watched Sai, who was running forward and had just entered, and covered his face, saying, "This outfit is also a special device."

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, Sai collapsed in front of him with a thud. Naruto, who was about to run away after him, stopped and turned his stiff neck slightly. He saw a short prison guard pressing something that looked like a remote control.

Then, the prison guard took out a walkie-talkie: "Inmate number 89, Sai. Attempting to escape."

"Detained for one day."

"An additional week of prison labor punishment."

“Received, Little Woodworm,” Earth replied from the other end.

Naruto swallowed hard, watching Sai, who had somehow passed out, being dragged away by the prison guards, his legs swaying.

When Xiaomu saw Naruto blocking the front of the line, he asked, "Is that Naruto Uzumaki, number eighty-eight, a convict?"

"Are you running away too? If you're going to run away, hurry up and don't waste my time."

Upon hearing this, the blond boy, fearing he would be arrested and punished, quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no -"

"I was just startled."

"Speaking of which, is my companion alright?"

Naruto asked with a worried tone.

Xiaomuchu calmly unlocked some of the permissions on Minato's bracelet, patted him to signal him to move forward, and casually replied to Naruto, "It's okay."

"He was just stunned by the electric shock."

"What is that solitary confinement cell...?"

"Tch. Why do you talk so much, you ex-convict?"

"Sorry, sorry, I'll talk to him."

"Okay. Remember to go to the designated location."

"Yes Yes Yes--"

Seeing the prison guards' impatient expressions, Minato Namikaze quickly grabbed Naruto, gave him a fawning smile, and strode towards the prison exit.

After walking out of the prison, Minato finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still outside."

"Hey buddy, what's that solitary confinement room?" Naruto was still worried about Sai.

Shuimen shook his head: "It's nothing. It's just a torturous place, but mainly mental torture. There shouldn't be any major problems. The current prison project in Loulan is relatively humane."

"..."

After all the Konoha teams came out, Minato Namikaze led Naruto out of the inner city of Rouran and into the outer city. They crossed roads that Naruto found novel and interesting, and finally arrived at a gate.

—The inner city of Loulan has been expanded and is now about three times larger than before.

"Next."

"The place we need to go is the outer perimeter of Loulan's inner city."

"Inner city, outer city?"

click-

Minato Namikaze spoke seriously, and Naruto asked curiously. Seeing this, the guards in front opened the gate to the inner city.

Then, a flash of white light passed before everyone's eyes.

Soon, a lot of noise came to my ears. A high staircase leading down appeared ahead. The street below was almost identical to the inner city, but the flow of people was much higher.

"Another convict has been released from labor camp."

"If I count today... there are already fifty or sixty, it feels like there are quite a few more."

"In the end, why would anyone violate the laws and regulations of Loulan if there's nothing wrong with it?"

The chatter of passersby filled the air around the group.
