"You really are greedy." Tsunade said with a hint of a smile on her face, "But that's exactly something you would say."

"You haven't really gotten to know this Shinobi World yet, have you?"

"Huh? I guess not." Naruto scratched his head. "I've only looked at the map. I roughly know the names of the leaders of the Five Great Nations and some of the surrounding smaller countries."

"Just looking at the map isn’t enough." Tsunade's red lips curved into a seductive smile as her alabaster-like arm moved, tossing a thick booklet to Naruto.

"Take a look at this first."

"What is it?"

Naruto caught the booklet and casually flipped through a few pages. Upon seeing Jiraiya’s signature, his expression immediately became serious.

"It’s a compilation of intelligence your teacher Jiraiya gathered while traveling the world over the years. Part of it has been handed over to the higher-ups, and the other part is in my hands."

Tsunade, in her usual relaxed manner, fixed her gaze on Naruto.

"You’ve seen the map, so you should know that the Land of Fire is an inland country. The sea breeze blows from east to west. Compared to the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, the Land of Fire has a lower elevation, which results in more rain and forests."

"So, the Land of Fire has a temperate maritime climate?" Naruto frowned. "Is this also the reason why there is no drought in the Land of Fire or the surrounding small countries, and there is rain all year round?"

"Correct." Tsunade gave Naruto the affirmation, "It’s good that you can understand this. The Land of Earth and the Land of Wind are inland with many mountains and steep ridges, which block the sea breeze and form cold, condensed air currents."

"So the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Grass, which are on the windward side, get rain, while the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind on the leeward side experience less rain over the years. Combined with the desert terrain of the Land of Wind, it easily creates a high-pressure climate. When the air sinks, the humidity will decrease, which leads to sandstorms."

When Naruto first saw the map of the Shinobi World, the more he looked at it, the more it resembled an inverted version of a Western European’s map. It can't be said to be exactly the same, but it is quite similar.

The origin of the Bloody Mist of the Land of Water was almost certainly based on a racism massacre.

Whether in terms of geography or history, there were striking similarities.

The sea breeze from the Atlantic blew over to the Shinobi World, and the dead geographical knowledge began to overwhelm Naruto’s mind. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The stunning realization left him deeply shocked.

"The history of the Bloody Mist of the Land of Water ended long ago. Under the leadership of the new Godaime Mizukage, Terumi Mei, Kirigakure is rapidly rising." Tsunade added.

"The Land of Water has built a large fleet of ships and currently controls most of the key sea routes. They’ve established a maritime alliance with the Land of Lightning, which has many coastal connections, to develop Chakra-based civilian technology."

"What is this, some kind of Sun Never Sets Empire scenario?" Naruto complained. (T/N: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_empire_on_which_the_sun_never_sets)

"Sun what?"

"Nothing." Naruto chuckled awkwardly.

"The Land of Wind has developed a new rare mineral. According to intelligence, it can conduct chakra, and if mass-produced, it could change the balance of power in the Shinobi World." Tsunade continued.

"Meanwhile, the Land of Fire’s current strategy is to avoid direct conflict with the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, while also trying to divide the relationship between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, so that the two superpowers on the inland region will gradually split."

"Under such circumstances, the strength of the Land of Fire is gradually declining under the rapid development of the other four great nations. That's why the Konoha’s higher-ups came up with the idea of ​​a perfect Jinchuriki."

"I was wrong, Tsunade-sama. I’d like the simpler explanation." Naruto raised his hand in defeat.

"The simple version?" Tsunade snorted, narrowing her eyes and then said a smile, "In simple terms, the future of the Shinobi World lies in peace and technological development, not in war."

Naruto agreed with this. The wars among Shinobi had lasted for a thousand years. Given the current state of the world, the trend was toward peace and prosperity.

Traditional Ninjutsu would eventually be replaced, and new Ninjutsu and technological exploration will be the main theme of the future.

A moment of silence passed.

The summer breeze gently blew through the room.

"I don't really have any specific thoughts." Naruto said, "I understand everything you've said, Tsunade-sama, and I don't want to be developed as a weapon."

"So... my idea is to continue standing by your side, Tsunade-sama."

Hearing this, Tsunade no longer hid her intentions. She let out a sigh and asked, "Then, are you interested in becoming Hokage?"

“I have no such desire at all.”

"Don't you want to consider it?" Tsunade asked, "You are almost a natural born Kage, just like Kakashi."

"Full of the Will of Fire?"

"No, what I mean is that you are very shameless, just as shameless as me." Tsunade said, curling up in her soft chair and stretching lazily, letting out a faint moan.

Naruto replayed Tsunade's words in his mind, and thought in his heart, ‘No wonder she said so much. It turned out that she was trying to trick me into taking over the Hokage’s position?’

"Tsunade-sama, have you been using a new shampoo recently?" Naruto quickly changed the subject.

"Well…" Tsunade frowned slightly, "If you want, I can give you some."

After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and waved towards Naruto, signaling for him to come closer.

"What's wrong?"

Naruto wasn't sure what Tsunade was up to, but he walked over anyway.

"Bend over." Tsunade said lazily.

He did as he was told, standing next to Tsunade and leaning closer. His vision was immediately occupied by a large area of soft, creamy expanse of Tsunade’s skin, so smooth and delicate it seemed otherworldly.

Almost instantly, Naruto was caught in a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts.

"Where are you looking at?"

"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama, it's hard to look away."

Tsunade didn't seem angry. She grabbed Naruto's face with both hands, squeezing and squishing it as she spoke, "I can roughly guess why you don't want to be Hokage. If you refuse, I won't force you to take on the role. You can live the life you want."

"I alreasy refude." Naruto mumbled, his words slightly slurred as Tsunade continued to pinch his face.

"I know." Tsunade didn’t stop her hands, kneading his face like clay, "It's not easy for you to get to where you are today. I hope you can live a happier life."

"At such a young age, you are more cunning than anyone else, and also look like an old man with a gloomy look."

"That's completely…!" Naruto, irritated by her pinching, reached out to pinch Tsunade's face, "It’s impossible to be happy like this! Who wants to be treated like a weapon? If anyone wants to be a Jinchuriki, let them!"

"Damn it, do you think I have a choice in this?" Tsunade increased the strength of her grip, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, "Let go already!"

"You let go first!" Naruto said anxiously, "Aahh! Are you trying to kill me?"

"You first!" Tsunade, now stubborn, retorted, "If you don't let go, just wait and see how I’ll beat you up!"

Under Tsunade’s tyranny, Naruto was the first to give in and reluctantly let go of his hand.

"You're dead!" Tsunade grabbed him, and Naruto, closing his eyes and bracing for a beating, but instead, he found himself pulled into an unexpectedly warm embrace.

"With me here, the path you walk won't be as hard as before. You won't have to hide anymore. You'll be walking at the front, with everyone behind you."
