Masahiko jumped on the spaceship with the three kids and slowly lifted it into the air, waving goodbye to Mifune and the others.
The wind and snow were blocked by the spacecraftâs protection. As the spacecraft rose up, the panorama of the Land of Iron gradually appeared in front of a few people.
âIt turned out that Land of Iron is really beautiful. Karin muttered. It was cold before, so how could she care to watch the scenery.
âI told you before that Iâm taking you to watch some beautiful scenery.â Masahiko smiled and controlled the spaceship straight up. The three mountains and in her eyes became smaller and smaller, until they disappeared completely, leaving only a vast land and⌠clouds?
Karinâs face turned white, and she quickly shrank into the middle of the spaceship. If they fall, she will turn into⌠Harissa.
Haku wasnât afraid of heights and looked around with his telescope. Kimimaro didnât look like he cared about any of this and pulled out his bone to play with it. This journey of spiritual practice made him encounter many opponents that he wanted to defeat.
Even though the spacecraft reached this height, it hadnât stopped its ascent, and Karin finally noticed that something was wrong.
âElder, didnât you say you want to return to the Land of Whirlpools? This is to⌠Huh?! Is that the moon?â
Masahiko smiled and nodded, âTo finish this spiritual journey strong, I decided to take you to the moon for a ride. It might not be a pleasant surprise, but itâs unexpected, isnât it?â
When Haku and Kimimaro heard what he said, they quickly looked up.
âElder, can people stand firm⌠on the moon?â
Masahiko smiled, âOf course, thereâs a lot of complicated astronomy knowledge involved here, um⌠but I wonât say more. You wouldnât understand anyway.â\n
Karin rolled her eyes.
Masahiko gave her a âtry say something, and I will turn you into Harissaâ look.
âGravity and orbits, well, they have a connection, okay?â Masahiko was a bit distressed, âI told you, you wonât understand.â
When the spaceship stopped on the surface of the moon and the group finally stood on its surface, Masahiko was surprised to find that his castle was near the landing point of the spaceship.
âSo if you jump from the castle to the ground, you will probably fall around the Land of Iron?â
The three kids also noticed the castle and looked at each other with a sense of unreality on their faces.
Masahiko was happy when he noticed their expression. It really satisfied his âvanity.â
âLetâs go. Iâll take you to see my castle!â
âIs this⌠the Godâs Kingdom?â Kimimaro murmured.
Karin didnât say anything, which is extremely rare; after all, the castle is covering an area of one square kilometer, and it was quite spectacular.
âElder, can I go in and take a look?â
âYes, letâs go together.â Masahiko waved.
âŚâŚ\nTwo hours later, Masahiko controlled his spaceship and flew away from the moon.
Karinâs face was a bit reluctant, âElder, if you come to the moon in the future, remember to notify me in advance. I have already selected my own room, and I want to bring a few things to decorate it next time. Oh, Kimimaro-Kun, I will give it to you if you want.â
Masahiko laughed and said, âSo you actually didnât plan to live together with Kimimaro in the room?â
Karin actually blushed and changed the topic, âGreat Elder, there are hundreds of rooms there. Do you plan to bring people to live here?â
Masahiko turned his head, âIâm always worried that I wonât be able to live forever on earth. So Iâm bringing Kushina, Nagato, Konan, descendants, grandchildren⌠Oh, yes, and a bunch of dead people.â
âDead?â Karinâs mouth twitched.
Masahiko smiled without more explanation.
The spaceship slowly landed above the landing point near Konoha. Masahiko directly controlled its steering and flew towards the Land of Whirlpools.
âElder, shall we go to Konoha to say hello to Aunt Kushina?â
Masahiko shook his head, âNo, the holiday is in a few days, and Kushina and the others will return to the Land of the Whirlpools to celebrate the New Year.â
After that, there was nothing to say, and the spaceship moved at full speed until they reached the Hall of the Patriarch of the Land of the Whirlpools.
âGreat Elder!â The two guards immediately bowed their heads to greet him, and then one of them turned around and reported to him.
Masahiko nodded and turned to Karin, âYou go home first. Then meet me tomorrow at my old place.â\n\nMasahiko pondered for a moment, then turned to Nagato, âNext, we must encourage more civilians to become ninjas and strive to make the numbers exceed 4000 within three to five years.â
âYes, sir.â
âOur population is still not enough. One million people are still the least among the big countries. Continue to encourage childbirth, and strive to make the population exceeds 1.5 million within three to five years!â
Nagato subconsciously wanted to nod his head to agree, but Konan hurriedly stopped him, âSensei, this task⌠Iâm afraid itâs a bit too hard to achieve.â
âHow is it hard? One million people, every two, can give birth to one, thatâs 500,000 in one year. Three to five years is already a long period!â Masahikoâs math was very neat.
Konan smiled helplessly, âSensei, you canât count like that. There are many old people and children among these million people. And because weâve encouraging childbirth these years, many of the right-age men and women have more than two children in their familiesâŚ.â
Masahiko paused with a scheming smile: âYes⌠and you two.â
Konan was taken aback and blushed immediately: âSensei, youâre here again!â
Nagato scratched his head and smirked.
âHahaha.â Seeing Konanâs expression, Masahiko laughed, âOkay, I wonât tease you anymore. Actually, Iâm more curious. Will your offspring have purple hair, considering that you two have red and blue hair? It will be beautiful.â
Konan was taken aback and curiously asked, âWill it be like this? Is red and blue mixed into purple?â
Masahiko once again smiled and raised his eyebrows: âDonât you believe it? What Sensei said is correct. If you donât believe it, why donât you try giving birth to one?â
