Ever since he had successfully cultivated the illusion, Naruto had practiced it repeatedly and mastered it.
Apart from cultivating illusions, he had also studied the Flying Thunder God Art in detail and had vaguely touched the threshold of the second stage of the Flying Thunder God.
If he could successfully master the second stage of Flying Thunder God, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
Of course, cultivation required time. Powerful abilities could not be successfully mastered in a day or two. Naruto was not in a hurry. He walked step by step on his own path.
In fact, after mastering the Dark Element Technique, his strength had undoubtedly increased by a lot. What he still lacked was actual combat experience, which he needed to accumulate through future battles.
A few days later, the ship returned to the Country of Waves.
Naruto's journey to the Water Nation had come to an end. Although the process was difficult and he did not complete the mission's goal, he still benefited greatly. The improvement in his combat ability was even more obvious.
This trip was finally worth it.
"We didn't complete the mission we came here for, but this time, we also found out that our spy ninja has defected, so we have an explanation.”Naruto pondered silently, thinking about how to report the situation when he returned to the village.
At this moment, the ship he was on had already restocked its supplies and was ready to set sail. Meanwhile, there were also large ships sailing over from afar.
Naruto, who was frowning and thinking, inadvertently glanced at the big ship. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure and could not help but look over.
"Eh? Wasn't that…Teacher Red Bean?"
He noticed that there was a man and a woman standing on the ship in the distance. He recognized them.
The forest is like the sunset.
"What mission are they going to carry out?”Naruto guessed in his heart.
Since he saw the other party, he had to greet him. After all, there was still his teacher above. This was the basic etiquette of respecting his teacher.
However, Naruto did not expect that his greeting would attract such a big reaction.
When Red Bean saw Naruto appear in front of her, she was stunned. Then, she rushed over and hugged him tightly.
Due to his height, Naruto's entire face was once again deeply immersed in the softness of the two lumps. Although the two lumps were indeed very nice to touch, Naruto still felt that it was more important to breathe smoothly.
When he reached out his hand to push Red Bean away, he suddenly realized that her body was trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was very excited.
"What exactly happened?" He didn't understand, but he didn't try to push it away. He just waited quietly.
After a while, Red Bean calmed down, released her hand, and took two steps back. She looked at Naruto carefully from top to bottom, and finally nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes! As expected of my disciple. That's why you were able to escape from the ambush! Ahahaha!"
When Naruto saw her like this, he immediately knew that this was his old habit again. He lowered his head slightly and prepared to respond in his familiar silent way.
At this moment, Ibiki Mori and Sunset Glow looked at each other before walking forward and asking,"Naruto, how did you escape?”
"Escaped? What escape?" Naruto asked in confusion.
Then, he recounted his journey to the Water Country in detail.
By the time he finished speaking, the three people in front of him were already looking at each other. Even Red Bean, who had always been careless, was stunned.
"Hey, kid, it's only been a few days since we last met, and your ability to fabricate lies has improved so much!”Red Bean patted Naruto's head.
"However, he has a future. To be able to pull out so many contributions in one mission, he definitely has a great future!”
"As expected of my disciple, hahaha!”
She raised her head and started laughing again. She had long abandoned all of her feminine elegance.
Meanwhile, Ibiki Mori and Sunset Glow had a look of disbelief on their faces as they shook their heads and chuckled.
"Oh, this, no one will believe the truth. What is wrong with this world…" Naruto felt helpless. He shrugged and did not explain further.
The three of them did not continue to ask. They just thought that Naruto's escape process might be too embarrassing, so he was unwilling to say.
"Anyway, it's good that she's back." Red Bean said.
The four of them turned the ship around and headed back to the Country of Fire.
When Naruto's ship was far away, the scarred leader on the other ship finally heaved a sigh of relief and shed tears of freedom.
......
In a room in the cabin, Naruto was sitting cross-legged alone with his eyes closed. He had entered a state of cultivation.
He was currently conversing with the Nine-Tails in his body.
This conversation was actually initiated by Nine-Tailed. At first, Naruto thought that Nine-Tailed had some ulterior motives, but after a conversation, he found that Nine-Tailed's attitude had softened a little, and even gradually showed signs of compromise.
"I can provide you with chakra power.”Nine-Tailed said in a serious tone," In the future, I will continue to provide chakras. I will never stop or take them back.”
"Heh, I don't really dare to believe your promise!”Naruto curled his lips.
"You little brat, I didn't promise you anything before. You're the one who forcefully controlled my power, right?!”Nine-Tailed said angrily," This old man's moral character is definitely stronger than that of a reckless brat like you!”
Naruto was silent, waiting for something.
As expected, Nine-Tailed opened its mouth again and raised its request, but its tone was not as firm.
"This old man will provide you with chakra power, but you have to promise this old man.”
"In the future, when you become strong enough that you don't need my power, you must release me from the seal and give me my freedom!”
Naruto listened quietly and suddenly felt a little puzzled and amused."You actually believe my promise so much? You really surprised me!"
"There's nothing to be surprised about." Nine-Tailed said indifferently," When you truly become a Deity or even an Immortal expert, you naturally won't care about a small promise.”
“...”Naruto was surprised again. He did not expect Nine-Tailed to have such a view of his future.
He thought for a moment and finally nodded slowly.
