Naruto: Menma Exiting Infinite Tsukuyomi

Chapter 173: Robin Cultural Communication Co., Ltd.

Warm sunlight filtered through the dense tree leaves, scattering like flowing water in points of golden light.

Kakashi, holding a copy of Make-Out Paradise, walked along a street in Konoha. The bright weather seemed to make him even more lethargic.

Unconsciously, he walked before a shop and suddenly stopped his leisurely pace, attracted by a huge poster pasted outside.

Or rather, by the content on the poster.

On the poster was a young girl with a gentle, radiant smile and an elegant aura. The four large characters, Princess Gale, also looked exceptionally eye-catching.

"Princess Gale has become popular to this extent in such a short time?"

Looking at this unfamiliar shop, and the long queue outside, Kakashi narrowed his listless dead-fish eyes.

Currently, all nations were mustering their strength to recover their power.

The friction between nations seemed to have lessened considerably, replaced by close commercial cooperation and competition.

The topic Kakashi had heard most about recently was the movie Princess Gale, which had suddenly become a huge hit, and the film's lead actress, "Yukie Fujikaze."

She became famous overnight after this Princess Gale was released and now has a fan base of hundreds of thousands, becoming a hot-ticket movie actress among the common people.

However, for Kakashi, her identity as an actress was not important.

As an ANBU, he was well aware of "Yukie Fujikaze's" true identity.

-- The new Daimyō of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Koyuki.

Although she was the Daimyō of just a remote, small country, a Daimyō becoming an actress was still a first in the ninja world.

Kakashi scratched his head, complaining inwardly: "I really don't understand the tastes of those noble lords."

Aren't daimyō the type of people who live in luxurious palaces, wear gorgeous clothes, and enjoy the service of servants?

But the spirited young girl with a gentle smile in the poster didn't look like any noble at all.

And this "Robin Audiovisual - Konoha Branch" shop that sold discs... Kakashi had also been hearing news about it recently.

"Robin Audiovisual" was an enterprise of "Robin Cultural Communication Co., Ltd."

According to the intelligence Kakashi currently had, "Robin Cultural Communication Co., Ltd." was a company integrating film and television, investment, and production.

He heard that the new LCD TVs they currently developed were undergoing mass production and would soon be available for sale in various countries of the ninja world.

The headquarters of this company was located in the Land of Snow, so it wasn't hard to imagine its close ties with the Land of Snow's government.

"I just don't know if this company was privately founded, or if it's supported by the Land of Snow's government from behind the scenes."

Kakashi thought to himself: "In this war-torn ninja world, establishing a company in the remote Land of Snow is indeed a wise choice."

After all, the Land of Snow's location was very remote, and it didn't have any resources worth coveting.

As long as it didn't participate in the wars between the great nations, it probably wouldn't be dragged into the vortex of war.

"Sigh! Why can't Robin cooperate with Lord Jiraiya?"

Kakashi sighed lightly: "There are countless die-hard fans of Lord Jiraiya in the ninja world waiting for Make-Out Paradise to hit the big screen."

With that, he looked at the long queue outside the shop and shook his head.

"Looks like I'll have to wait until I have time later to buy it."

He then stuffed Make-Out Paradise into his ninja tool pouch and vanished from the spot with a Body Flicker Technique.

...

Land of Forests, a small country next to the Land of Fire.

Menma and Kuramako stood on the back of the Vermilion Bird, continuously circling in the sky above the Land of Forests.

"If I remember correctly, the base of those Sky Ninja remnants should be here," Menma said, activating Kagura Shingan and continuously scanning the area below.

Besides improving the compatibility of Kuramako's soul and physical body,

the purpose of bringing Kuramako out this time was also to find the former ninja of the Land of the Sky.

After flying for a period of time, Menma's perception suddenly paused.

Below his position was a dense forest. As far as the eye could see were lush green trees.

But in Menma's perception,

that forest also hid many broken, human-faced statue pedestals, and an even larger building was hidden underground.

A group of people wearing special equipment and Sky Ninja forehead protectors were continuously transporting supplies underground.

Menma paid no mind to these Sky Ninja small fry.

Together with Kuramako, he passed directly through the dense forest, jumping from the Vermilion Bird onto the top of those human-faced statues.

"Looks like this is the place."

Menma activated Kagura Shingan, and after sensing the area underground for a moment, he nodded.

In this underground building, at least tens of thousands of people were living inside.

However, most of them were in a listless state.

"Hmm?"

Kuramako suddenly frowned, her face puzzled: "There's something strange down there. It feels very similar to us Tailed Beasts."

"It's just something similar."

Menma, without turning his head, explained casually: "It's equivalent to this underground fortress's energy source. Compared to a Tailed Beast, it's merely a hollow shell."

With that, he raised his fist and then hammered it down fiercely on the ground.

BOOM!!!

The earth was instantly shattered by the terrifying force of this punch. The dense trees around were all overturned by the aftershock of the blow.

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread out from the point of impact, and the huge stone building underground was exposed to the outside.

"Oh my, looks like we've been discovered."

Looking at the stunned expressions of the group of Sky Ninja inside the building, a smile slowly appeared on Kuramako's lips: "Then next up... is my hunting time."

...

Meanwhile, inside this underground base.

"Lord Shinnō."

A Sky Ninja respectfully bowed to the tall old man before him: "Those supplies have all been transported into Ancor Vantian!"

Shinnō looked down at the blueprint, a smile spreading across his face: "Very good. The repair of the weapon system is almost complete. Now, as long as we cultivate the Zero-Tails well, Ancor Vantian can fly again!"

"At that time, our Soragakure will rise again! We will completely bury Konoha from the sky!"

This underground base named "Ancor Vantian,"

was actually a secret fortress integrating the essence of Soragakure's technology, and also a mobile fortress that could fly in the sky.

This fortress was also equipped with various powerful chakra weapons, and even a superweapon with power comparable to a Tailed Beast Bomb.

However, during the Second Shinobi World War, "Ancor Vantian" was shot down once by Konoha.

If they wanted to get this fortress moving again, and even possess power far exceeding its prime,

they had to create the "artificial Tailed Beast," the Zero-Tails - Leech.

Shinnō had been wandering the ninja world for so many years as a wandering physician precisely to collect various materials and technologies to perfect the Zero-Tails.

He believed that before long, he could...

BOOM!!!
