Trees Chapter 218 Konoha is Doomed

At the entrance of the Yamanaka Flower Shop, a large number of Konoha’s boys wearing red tracksuits had gathered. They wore skinny pants on

At the entrance of the Yamanaka Flower Shop, a large number of Konoha’s boys wearing red tracksuits had gathered.

They wore skinny pants on their lower half, bean shoes on their feet, and held communicators from the Cult Mechanicus and the Scientific Truth Society in their hands, swaying their heads back and forth, looking extremely spirited.

Their age range was even more astonishing, ranging from seven-year-old academy students to forty-year-old Jonin and Chunin.

For a time, Naruto wondered if he had somehow transmigrated again.

The only somewhat normal thing was that none of them had dyed their hair yellow...

Perhaps because their families had drawn the line at letting them dye their hair that color.

‘Damn it!!’

‘I don’t think I’ve been away from Konoha for that long...’

‘How did the young people in the village end up like this???’

Naruto stood at the intersection, mentally frozen for several minutes as he stared at the crowd, repeatedly questioning why Konoha had suddenly spawned these ‘spiritual youths’.

‘Could it be that...’

‘When society develops to a certain level, there will inevitably be such things as ‘spiritual youths’?

"Hey! Check out this latest model communicator."

"The Machine Spirit V1 Communicator."

"This new device not only lets you communicate but also has something called a 'forum'. It’s a magical place where you can see pictures, text, and videos posted by people from other villages."

In the middle of the crowd, the ‘spiritual youth’ Shikamaru monotonously recited the script his girlfriend had prepared for him, his expression completely dead.

There wasn’t a single spark of life left in his eyes, and he inwardly regretted ever agreeing to his girlfriend Temari’s demands.

‘Women are really troublesome!!’

‘Why do you drag me into your cult's affairs?!’

As Shikamaru called out, the surrounding spiritual youths began asking where they could get their hands on such an amazing device.

Shikamaru explained that the yellow-haired girl at the third shop in Tensho Street was selling them.

And for less than 100,000 ryo, they could take this new communicator home.

Naruto, who was standing by, was completely dumbfounded.

‘What the hell...’

‘What major incident has happened in Konoha recently?!’

‘Where's Tsunade?!’

‘Why isn’t she doing anything about this?!’

‘And Shikamaru!’

‘What the hell are you even doing???’

Naruto walked towards Shikamaru, who was still promoting the communicators in the crowd, with a dark face.

But someone started to curse before him.

"You guys!!"

"Cut it out already!"

Ino punched down a few of the weirdly dressed loiterers in front of her shop. She looked at this group of people and felt that her blood pressure had risen.

Ever since Jiraiya had worn that ridiculous confession outfit to publicly profess his love to Tsunade, the village had somehow started spreading the rumor that this outfit increased the success rate of confessions.

They even gave this red tight tracksuit a name: The Confession Suit.

And then, as if the entire village had lost their minds, people started wearing these outfits, buying flowers from her shop to confess to the girls they liked...

What kind of confession tactic is this supposed to be?!

Ino was going insane, she just thought these outfits were hideous.

And besides...

It's fine if these people gathered in front of her flower shop to buy flowers, at least she could make some money.

But these people are so stingy, saying that they want to imitate Jiraiya and only use one rose to express their sincerity.

In the end, not only was it an eyesore, but she wasn’t even making much profit.

Naturally, she wasn’t going to be nice to them.

And that wasn’t even the worst part.

In order to fulfill his girlfriend’s promotion task, Shikamaru had even mixed in the crowd to sell the new communicator to this group of people.

It's simply too much!!!

"Tell me!"

"Where the hell did you get these outfits!!"

Naruto's murderous intent gradually rose at this moment, and he had already pulled out a 50-meter-long iron rod.

If he didn’t get to the bottom of this today, he would personally purge these spiritual youths corrupting Konoha’s culture on behalf of the Hokage.

"Oh no! The yellow-haired delinquent is here!"

"Damn! It's the yellow-haired delinquent from Konoha!!"

"We’re screwed. If my mom finds out I was hanging around the yellow-haired delinquent... I'll definitely get beaten when I go back."

When the spiritual youths saw Naruto, they fled in all directions like sheep seeing a wolf.

However, Naruto’s fifty-meter iron rod wasn’t just for show.

With a cold snort, he swung it down, knocking them to the ground one by one.

The force was just enough to make them writhe in pain, but without leaving any lasting injuries.

Once these people were all dealt with, Naruto’s gaze locked onto the ‘spiritual Shikamaru’, who was standing not far away.

"Wait!"

"Naruto! We’re on the same side… don’t hit me!"

"These outfits were all sold by Jiraiya-sama and Kakashi."

Shikamaru frantically explained while clumsily taking off his spiritual youth outfit.

He knew full well that if he kept facing Naruto in this ridiculous outfit, he’d probably end up beaten like the others.

"F**k..."

"What the hell are they doing?!”

After hearing this, Naruto felt like the sky was about to collapse.

‘Damn it!’

‘If you two needed money that badly, you could’ve just told me!!’

‘Why resort to this kind of thing?!’

Naruto was so furious at the two white-haired idiots that he was practically seeing red.

Right now, he missed Hiruzen more than ever.

At least when he was around, Konoha would not have such a mess.

After stewing in silence for a while, Naruto finally managed to force out a question, "Why isn’t Hokage-sama doing anything about this?!"

Shikamaru was silent for a while, his eyes shifting uncomfortably, then he let out a long sigh and cautiously replied, "Is there a possibility..."

"...that Hokage-sama actually supports them?"

"I..."

When Naruto heard this, his vision was blurred with anger.

‘This Konoha Village is doomed!!’

He took a few deep breaths and resisted the urge to fly above Konoha and drop a Shinra Tensei on the whole village.

According to information given by Shikamaru, Naruto turned around and walked towards the den where the spiritual youth outfits were sold.

Shikamaru sighed in relief when he saw Naruto left, but before long, he saw this guy coming back.

Naruto stretched out his hand to Shikamaru, signaling him to hand over the new communicator of the Cult Mechanicus.

Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, but he obediently handed it over without protest.

When Naruto thought of the atmosphere of Konoha Village being corrupted by the two white-haired idiots, he immediately thought of Sunagakure in the past...

‘What the hell is going on!’

‘Why doesn't Tsunade care about it!!’

‘Damn it!’

‘Evil Tsunade!’

‘Just you wait… I’ll find a way to resurrect the Nidaime Hokage and let him deal with you!’

Naruto, who is in a very bad mood, started walking towards the sales location.

He wanted to see what the two white-haired idiots and the Hokage were really up to.

As he walked, Naruto took out the new ‘phone’ from the Cult Mechanicus and checked it out.

But the moment he took it out, Naruto was a little dumbfounded, "What the…!"

"A smartphone??"

The new communicator of Cult Mechanicus looks no different from the smartphone used in his previous life, complete with a full-screen display.

‘Wait...’

‘From brick phones straight to full-screen smartphones... Isn't the technology explosion of Sasori’s group a bit too fast?!’

Despite his complaints, Naruto had to admit the thing was impressive.

There are several icons on the screen, and the most eye-catching one is the ‘forum’.

He tapped it, and in less than a second, the forum interface loaded. Since the device wasn’t logged in, Naruto spent a few minutes registering a new account.

But the moment he entered the forum, the headline on the front page made Naruto instantly stunned.

Uchiha Xiao Yan: A mere Hachibi’s Jinchuriki? I can defeat him with one strike. Hah, I beat the shit out of him.’
