1 week, the news spread and the ninja world was in an uproar!

A single ninja… ended the war… shut the mouths of all 5 villages…

Not only did he end the war, he brought the most peaceful era of the ninja world ever since the great village system appeared!

In the Hokage's office, Naruto was laying down on the couch lazily while eating chips, occasionally laughing out loud.

Tsunade, who bore witness to all this, suddenly stood up as she slammed the table in anger, "What do you think you're doing being lazy in my office?!"

"What do you mean?! I brought peace! Why can't I be lazy?!" Naruto complained while the chips in his mouth spurted out as he talked.

He scooted over to Hiruzen and put his head on his lap as he said pitifully, "Right? Hiru-jii?"

"Um… I guess…" Hiruzen switched his look back and forth to Tsunade's face that was getting increasingly angry and Naruto's pleading face.

In the end, he just puffed his pipe and replied calmly like an old monk, "Leave me all of that dispute, I'm just a retired kage."

Naruto stood up and got angry, "What do you mean by that?! You're not going to take my side?! Aren't you afraid that I'll destroy Konoha?!"

"Be my guest, not like we could do anything about it anyway." Hiruzen replied like an enlightened old man.

"Tsk! So not interesting." Naruto sat back down and ate chips again, forgetting Tsunade on the side.

Tsunade just sighed and asked, "Why aren't you flirting with that Haku of yours? Aren't you always all around her?"

Naruto ate chips pitifully, "She went on a mission."

"Oh right, I sent her to Kirigakure to help stabilize the situation but nothing complicated so she'll be back soon to prepare for marriage in a few days, although you subdued the 5 great villages, there are still petty thieves and arrogant stupid people."

"See?! It's your fault so I can only annoy you." Naruto replied in justification.

Tsunade just picked up a piece of document and augmented it with chakra before throwing it to Naruto as revenge.

Naruto caught it easily and looked at her in confusion, "Are you stupid or something, Granny? Don't you know that I'm the strongest man alive?"

Hearing his words, Tsunade just sat back down and did not get irritated and replied, "Go do that mission. It's S-rank."

"S-Rank? You understand that ordinary S-rank missions won't interest me right? Just have Sasuke, Sakura or Kakashi-sensei do it." Naruto replied lazily as he put the document on the table.

Tsunade nodded and explained, "Of course, I took that into consideration, it involves the Ley Line that lies beneath Loran. And I have other things prepared for them, although they aren't at your level yet, they're one of the top jounins in the village afterall."

"Ley Line?" This piqued Naruto's interest and replied as he read the document, "Continue."

Tsunade grinned, "It's a mission to go to the ruins of Roran in the desert of the Land of the Wind."

Naruto nodded whilst browsing the document.

"In accordance with our alliance with the Hidden Sand, we will assist in capturing Mukade, the Rogue Ninja. Well… in your case, it's a done deal that he will be captured."

"So? All that's written here is his abilities, what's his goal?"

Tsunade replied, "The Ley Line is an immense flow of energy. It was sealed away by your father, the Fourth Hokage's Jutsu Formula. Your mission is to guard that."

Naruto laughed out loud as he put the document down and grinned as he stretched his body, "Well… I won't do something as boring as that, I'll open the seal, I think that might be the key to increasing my strength further."

"Naruto! The Ley Line is incredibly dangerous! It's been sealed for at least 15 years, can you imagine the damage it would do when it's released?!" Tsunade warned.

"I'll handle that, then, bye." Naruto waved his hand at Tsunade before disappearing.

"Naruto!" Tsunade yelled angrily.

Hiruzen just chuckled and replied, "What do you expect after telling him that? You know Naruto, he's greedy for strength." With a sigh he continued, "Especially with our current situation… 1,000,000 times a jounin's chakra is our opponent."

Tsunade scratched her head in annoyance, "I know that already but I didn't expect him to be so impatient! He could take it slow!"

"Do we even have the luxury of time?" Hiruzen asked grimly.

Tsunade went quiet.

…

After disappearing from the Hokage's office, Naruto directly appeared in front of Black Zetsu. "Uncle Kuro."

Black Zetsu flinched but nodded and asked with a smile, "What is it, Naruto?"

"Do you have information about the Ley Line?"

"This…" Black Zetsu couldn't help but be taken aback but nodded, "Yes, Why."

Naruto directly stated his business, "I'm on a mission to the Land of Wind to catch a Rogue Ninja trying to use it. Granny Tsuna mentioned his name but I forgot already probably since it's not too important."

Black Zetsu chuckled, "Sounds like you. It's a close to infinite amount of chakra. Even mother wouldn't be able to handle it if she tried to absorb it directly."

"Details please." Naruto replied in curiosity. What was it that even an Otsutsuki can't absorb?

Black Zetsu explained, "Do you know why a chakra tree is needed to absorb the chakra of the planet?"

Just by this question alone, Naruto understood so he nodded, "The Ley Line is the core that's why it's so potent… A chakra tree is a medium that scratches the surface and the chakra fruit is the condensation of the surface energy… However, the reason as to why Otsutsuki goes from planet to planet is probably because the entire planet die soon after absorbing all the surface energy… In other words, just a scratch on it would cause the core energy to leak out being wasted in return ruining the essence of the planet until it eventually dies."

Naruto was annoyed, "Now I can't absorb it! Tsk!"

Black Zetsu was dumbfounded and asked with a wry smile, "How are you so smart? I just asked a question and you already thought of what I had to say?"

Naruto looked at Black Zetsu in surprise and said in excitement, "That's it!"

"What's it?!"

"I just have to absorb it without causing harm to the protective layer of the core! Your Otsutsuki ancestry is really just a bunch of barbarians! I'll see you later, Uncle Zetsu!"

"Wait…" Before Black Zetsu could finish calling him, Naruto already disappeared. With a wry smile, he talked to himself, "I just wanted to ask how he plans to do it… Could it be seals?"

Black Zetsu nodded in understanding, there's a lot that could be done with seals but it's a bit limited but when Naruto uses it, the uses of it was limitless.

In the blink of an eye, Naruto arrived at the top of the walls of Hidden Sand Kazekage's Office.

Looking around with a squinted eye, Naruto clicked his tongue, "Disgusting sand."

With a snap of his fingers, the sand dispersed with the wind and the whole Hidden Sand Village was deprived of Sand.

With Naruto's will, it was as if the Hidden Sand was surrounded by a barrier of sand due to the fact that in the whole Village there weren't any sand, but outside the village, it was filled with sand in the air.

"What just happened?!"

"Where did all the sand go?!"

The civilians one after another said in surprise.

Meanwhile, Naruto just nodded his head in satisfaction, "Much better."

"Let's go see Gaara." He talked to himself as he descended to the ground.

Meanwhile, Gaara who was panicking from what just happened went outside to see the situation, "What happened?!"

As he said on solemnity jounin upon jounin appeared.

The jounin who kneeled in respect stood up and replied ""We also don't know what's happening…"

"Oii! Gaara! I came to visit!"

As they were thinking what just happened, they saw a man descending from above.

The jounins stood in front of Gaara and said worriedly, "Kazekage-sama, please be careful!"

Gaara who saw the person, heaved a sigh of relief before raising his hand and saying calmly, "There's nothing to worry about, it's just the visit of the ruler."

"The visit of the ruler?" The jounins looked over in curiosity.

Gaara who was called out nodded with a smile as he waved his hand in return, "What's wrong? Naruto? What's with the sudden visit?"

"Naruto?" The jounins looked over in fright.

Naruto chuckled as he descended on the ground, "Nothing, I'm here on a mission so I stopped by."

"Mission? You? The ruler of the 5 kages?" Gaara laughed helplessly.

Naruto laughed out loud as he patted his shoulder, "What do you mean by that? I'm just the host, I don't have any plans for ruling hahaha!"

Gaara nodded and went straight to business, "So, that mission of yours…"

Naruto pouted and scolded, "Gaara! You're no fun but since you already talked about it… I'm here for the Rogue Ninja… Mu… I forgot his name, but you sent the mission over to Konoha."

"Mukade right?" Gaara understood and replied, " He was last sighted 3 days ago in the western part of the Land of the Wind."

"I see…" Naruto then asked, "So? How much are you willing to pay?"
