It's really okay!
Temari said directly and firmly, "It's fine. I've been tired of them for a long time anyway."
"Just take this chance to relax."
Her mother had passed away early.
Her father always had that serious face.
Her second brother spent all day studying puppets.
And her third brother… was a complete madman.
In such an environment, Temari had long felt depressed.
Naruto never expected Temari to agree so quickly. Tilting his head, he asked, "Temari, you probably didn't understand what I meant."
Temari's lips trembled as she quickly replied, "I understand. That's why there will be two rooms."
"The time we've known each other is too short… things are moving too fast, and I'm not used to it yet…"
Naruto didn't mind. "It's okay. We're still young anyway, so even if we live together, we won't really do anything."
Temari felt relieved. "Good. As long as you understand."
…
Naruto had been living in Sunagakure for the past few days.
Meanwhile, things in Konoha were also developing.
Jiraiya had set out to find Tsunade.
Sasuke had gained Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust and was now studying the manuscripts about the Uchiha clan left by Senju Tobirama.
Haruno Sakura was diligently practicing chakra control following Naruto's advice, waiting for Tsunade's return so she could become her disciple.
Yamato discovered that Naruto was missing and reported it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
On the first day, Hiruzen thought Naruto was just out playing around.
But when Naruto was still gone the next day, Hiruzen began to panic.
He immediately ordered the Anbu to investigate.
After the investigation, they found that Naruto had left the village with Temari!
Damn it!
Our Jinchūriki has been kidnapped?!
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately dispatched a team to head toward Sunagakure.
…
Meanwhile, Naruto was living quite comfortably in Sunagakure.
No one here knew him or that he was a Jinchūriki. They simply treated him like any other traveler.
In that environment, Naruto felt relaxed and at peace.
Although the conditions in Sunagakure weren't as good as Konoha, Naruto still liked it.
Shopping with Temari during the day, visiting the hot springs at night, and even letting exotic girls from Sunagakure massage his feet…
This life was simply wonderful.
Due to environmental reasons, Sunagakure had very few hot springs, and they were quite expensive.
But for someone like Naruto, who had tens of billions in assets—
He could only say he could continue living in luxury.
And it would last until old age and death…
No, it would last until the day Uzumaki Boruto died of old age.
The leftover money could probably green Sunagakure inside and out several times over.
No problem at all!
…
That day, Naruto had just gotten up when he received a system prompt.
Maybe because he had been enjoying himself too much lately, the system couldn't stand it anymore and directly issued a mission.
[Ding~ System Mission Released: Combat Power Increased to 150,000
Reward: Simulation Opportunity +1]
After receiving the mission, Naruto instinctively opened the system panel.
Although he hadn't trained recently, his body continued to grow stronger each day.
After all, he had both the Uzumaki bloodline and a perfected version of the Senju bloodline enhanced by Orochimaru's technology.
Even doing nothing, his chakra increased naturally.
This world truly revolved around bloodlines!
And Naruto's combat power had naturally increased.
It had only gone up by a few dozen points, though.
His current combat power was 146,701.
If Naruto didn't put in any effort and wanted it to reach 150,000 automatically…
It would take more than half a year.
Thinking about it, Naruto decided to start training again.
He explained the situation to Temari and left the village alone.
With only a few thousand points left before reaching 150,000 combat power, Naruto just needed to learn a few new jutsu.
Naruto took out Hashirama's ninjutsu scroll, spread it open, and began practicing Wood Style.
He had trained with this technique back in Konoha.
"Is it like this…?"
Naruto closed his eyes and began to sense the earth.
Forming a seal, he channeled his chakra wildly into the desert beneath his feet.
"Wood Style—Deep Forest Emergence!"
Puff!
Crackkk!
Thick branches as wide as several men sprouted from the sand.
The range expanded rapidly as Naruto increased his chakra output.
In less than ten seconds, the desert within a two-hundred-meter radius turned into a dense forest.
And not just any forest—the trees were ancient and towering.
Naruto released the jutsu and flew into the air to admire his handiwork.
"Still not enough… I need to keep practicing."
…
Two days later.
Inside the Kazekage's office.
An Anbu agent reported the situation.
"Kazekage-sama, Uzumaki Naruto is becoming more and more proficient with Wood Style Ninjutsu. Our entire village is now surrounded by forest."
"If you go ten miles out, it's all forest as well!"
Hearing that, Rasa's eyes filled with emotion. "Uzumaki Naruto… he's truly Sunagakure's benefactor!"
But the Anbu brought another piece of news. "Kazekage-sama, a messenger from Konoha has arrived. They wish to meet Uzumaki Naruto and take him back."
Rasa's expression turned serious.
"Bring Temari here first," he said in a low voice.
Before long, Temari arrived at the office.
Rasa asked her, "How far have things developed between you and Uzumaki Naruto?"
Temari looked confused.
She didn't expect her father to care about something like this.
But she still answered honestly, "Naruto's a good person. Maybe… we can accept each other."
Rasa nodded. "Then if I asked you to marry him right now, would that be a problem?"
"What?" Temari looked startled, then frowned. "Did something happen?"
Rasa nodded. "The people from Konoha are here. They want to take Uzumaki Naruto back."
Temari's smile faded, and she immediately refused. "If that's the reason, then I refuse."
It was the first time Temari had defied her father.
Rasa's expression stiffened. "What?!"
After spending several days with Naruto, Temari had already been deeply influenced by his way of thinking.
She was no longer afraid of Rasa.
"Let's be honest," Temari said directly, "I don't want politics to ruin what we have."
"You—!" Rasa's face twitched in anger, at a loss for words.
How many days had it been?
The daughter he had raised since childhood had already been brainwashed by Naruto?
"Haah…" Rasa sighed. "Then go call Naruto. I'll take him to meet Konoha's messenger."
Temari didn't feel she was wrong. If anything, she thought Rasa was the one being unreasonable.
With a cold expression, she said firmly, "Naruto told me adults shouldn't interfere in our affairs. What matters now is free love!"
Rasa's scalp went numb. He waved his hand, exasperated. "I get it. Just hurry up and call Naruto."
Temari lifted her chin. "Hmph! No need to rush me. I'm going now!"
Rasa: "…"
