Chapter 315 My First Experience in the Immortal Village
As soon as he stepped out of the portal, Naruto looked around curiously.
In the distance, one can see rolling green hills, with neat wooden buildings nestled at their foot.
The roof is covered with sparkling glazed tiles, which shimmer with iridescent light when the sun shines on them.
"Wow! Is this the Fairy Village? It's so beautiful!"
The moment Naruto stepped into Sage Village, his feet felt as if they were weighed down by a small stone, much heavier than when he was in Konoha.
He reached out to catch the butterfly fluttering in the air, but due to gravity, his movement was a beat slower than usual.
Seeing Naruto's movements, which resembled those of a clumsy bear, made Sakura Haruno behind him burst out laughing.
She walked up and bent down to touch the wildflowers by the roadside: "The air here is so fresh, without the dusty smell of the Konoha training ground, and even the fragrance of the flowers is stronger than at home."
She took a deep breath, and even the tension she had felt earlier about "not being used to living here" dissipated considerably.
The boys emerged from the portal one after another, and almost everyone, like Naruto, was somewhat bewildered by the double gravity.
Carrying my ninja tool bag every day, I feel like the bag is twice as heavy as usual.
She excitedly pointed to the buildings in the distance: "Look! The windows of that house are stained! How beautiful!"
Lee Locke clenched his fists, adjusting to the oppressive force of gravity, his eyes growing increasingly resolute: "The atmosphere here is so comfortable, it must be perfect for cultivation!... My youth is about to ignite... Today, I will cultivate twice as hard... to develop even stronger physical techniques!"
Uchiha Sanfeng walked at the back, looking at the boys' curious expressions: "Sage Village is a secret realm of the ancestral star. The natural energy here is ten times richer than in the ninja world, making it very suitable for training ninjutsu and sage techniques. The residential area is just ahead. Each of you has your own house, fully furnished, so you can move in right away. Come with me and take a look."
The group walked forward, with unknown trees planted on both sides of the bluestone path, their leaves shining like jade.
As soon as he turned the corner, Naruto heard a familiar voice.
He looked up, immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Sasuke! I'm here!"
Under the large locust tree not far away, Sasuke was leaning against the trunk reading a book.
Hearing the shout, he closed the book, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Neroto (Naruto), you've come."
He walked over quickly, followed by Bai Qi and Kikyo.
Sasuke's lips curled up slightly in a happy smile: "My brothers and sisters and I arrived a few days ago. Father arranged a really nice house for us; it has everything we need. I'm sure you'll love it."
Sakura Haruno immediately rushed forward, grabbed Sasuke's arm, and exclaimed with sparkling eyes, "Sasuke, really? Is there a dressing table in the house? I was worried I'd have to bring my own furniture!"
She specially packed her skincare products in a small box before leaving home, just in case her accommodation wasn't convenient.
Bai Qi walked over and patted Naruto on the shoulder.
He deliberately used less force, afraid that Naruto might not be able to stand steadily due to the gravity: "Naruto, long time no see! You're still so energetic. There's a hot spring in the courtyard where I live. Soaking in it at night can relieve the fatigue caused by gravity. We can go together sometime. We'll train together for the next three years. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."
Kikyo smiled gently and nodded to everyone: "Welcome to the Immortal Village. Your accommodations have been arranged in advance according to your preferences. If you need anything, you can buy it in the store. Feel free to ask us for help anytime."
The boys greeted her, and Hinata whispered, "Brother Bai Qi, Sister Kikyo, I... I'm a little afraid of the dark. Will there be a table lamp in the house?"
She asked softly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Suddenly, Shion's voice came from behind her. She, Xingchi, Karin, and Zilong ran over.
"Of course! My room not only has a table lamp, but also curtains that light up! When I draw the curtains at night, there are star patterns in the room, it's so pretty!"
The boys grew more and more excited as they listened. Xingchi grabbed Naruto and started running towards the residential area: "Naruto, I'll take you to see your house! It's right next door to me, and the yard is huge!"
"Really? Then let's go!"
Naruto immediately became interested upon hearing this and grabbed Xingchi, ready to run away.
Uchiha Mitsunori reached out to stop them: "Don't rush. The houses in the residential area are all labeled with your names. Each house has its own yard, which not only has training grounds but also different plants. You can choose the room you like."
The group followed Sanfeng to the residential area, where they saw rows of wooden houses neatly arranged, each with a nameplate hanging on its door.
Naruto spotted the nameplate that read "Naruto Namikaze" at a glance and excitedly ran over to push open the door.
The room was spacious and bright, with a large, soft sofa against the wall and a desk next to it.
There was a wardrobe in the corner. When I opened it, I found several sets of comfortable meditation clothes inside.
There's a small sofa by the window, and on the coffee table in front of it is a plate of fresh fruit.
"Wow, this is so comfortable! It's much better than my bedroom in Konoha!"
Naruto pounced on the large sofa, which sank into a small dent. The soft texture made him roll around in it.
"From now on, after each day's practice, lying here to rest will feel amazing!"
Sakura Haruno pushed open her own door, her eyes instantly lighting up: "My God! Is this a royal dressing table? And so many expensive ornaments!"
The dressing table not only has a comb and hair clips, but also a bottle of Zuxing's unique skincare products. How thoughtful!
Hinata Hyuga walked into her room and saw the desk lamp on, which immediately put her mind at ease.
She walked to the window, drew back the curtains, and saw several cherry blossom trees in the yard. The wind blew, and the petals gently fell, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting.
"So beautiful..."
She spoke softly, a gentle smile playing on her lips.
Nara Shikamaru stroked his chin and nodded in satisfaction: "There's also a small bookshelf in the room with quite a few tactics books. Looks like I don't need to bring my own, which saves a lot of trouble."
The group followed Sanfeng to the residential area. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw several people dressed in Uchiha clan attire walking by.
"Greetings, Lord Mitsumine!"
They bowed respectfully, then looked at Naruto and the others with curiosity.
"There are so many Uchiha clan members here, at least several thousand!"
Nara Shikamaru asked in a low voice. He noticed that there were not only Uchiha clansmen, but also several young Hyuga clansmen sitting in the courtyard, training.
Uchiha Mitsunori explained, "When Sage Village was first established, I moved some of the Uchiha and Hyuga clansmen here. They have lived here for many years and are familiar with the environment of Sage Village. They will also help guide your training in the future."
He paused, his tone becoming serious: "But you must remember, the Sage Village is a secret of the ancestral star, and very few people in the ninja world know of its existence."
Naruto asked curiously, "Why? Wouldn't it be better to tell everyone about such a great place?"
Uchiha Mitsunori sighed and slowly said, "Because the Ancestral Star is my territory, returning to the Shinobi World is very troublesome. Only I can return to the Shinobi World by using the Space-Time Gate. If the people of the Shinobi World know about this place, some will inevitably try to force their way in, which will cause trouble for the Sage Village. Moreover, the Ancestral Star has too many secrets, and once they are leaked, it may trigger a war in the Shinobi World."
The boys fell silent upon hearing this.
Hyuga Neji frowned and asked, "Lord Sanmine, does that mean we can't leave Sage Village at will for the next three years, nor can we tell the ninja world what's happening here?"
Uchiha Mitsunori nodded, his expression somewhat serious: "That's right, but you don't need to worry. I will personally escort you back to the ninja world after your training is complete."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Looking at the comfortable accommodations before them, and thinking about the next three years of cultivation, they were all filled with anticipation.
After settling everyone into their lodgings, Sasuke suggested taking them to visit Sage Village.
"Let's go to the cafeteria first. The food there is delicious! They have fruits and meats unique to our planet. I'm sure Choji will love it."
He had already explored the entire Fairy Village in the previous few days.
The group followed Sasuke to the cafeteria, which was spacious and bright, with tables and chairs arranged neatly.
A dozen or so chefs were busy cooking, and the aroma wafted far and wide.
As soon as Choji Akimichi entered, he stared at the kitchen, swallowing hard. "Wow...it smells so good! I want to eat thirty bowls!"
Kikyo smiled and handed him a plate: "Choji, don't worry, you can eat here every day from now on. And it's a buffet, the chef will prepare the food according to our requests, ensuring you can eat your fill every meal."
Choji Akimichi's eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed the plate and rushed to the table.
He looked at the plates of tempting food, his mouth watering.
First, he picked up several pieces of golden-brown Zuxing specialty roasted meat, then scooped up a large spoonful of soft, sweet fruit pudding, and didn't forget to grab a few brightly colored pastries.
His eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly, "This place is practically my dream paradise, Choji's dream paradise!"
Seeing Choji Akimichi's excited expression, the others also picked out their favorite foods.
Naruto took a big bowl of ramen, Hinata Hyuga took several plates of grilled pork, and a plate of papaya...
Sakura Haruno glanced at Sasuke and gave up on her idea of eating grilled meat.
She selected some vegetable salads and some delicate desserts.
After choosing the food they wanted, everyone found a suitable table to sit down.
Choji Akimichi plopped down in the chair and couldn't wait to start tasting it.
His mouth was stuffed full, almost unable to close, and he mumbled between chews, "It's so delicious... I'm going to eat all the food here in the next three years!"
Although his voice was a little muffled, everyone could still understand what he meant.
Seeing Choji Akimichi's satisfied expression, everyone's appetite was instantly aroused.
So everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to enjoy their meal.
Suddenly, the dining table was filled with exclamations of praise and the sounds of chewing food...
