Naruto: This Uchiha is a businessman Chapter 140

Lu Lin, who had been on the road, finally had some time to rest. He had been busy enough during this period, and now he could finally take a break.

Kimimaro and Itachi were both sent to the Imperial Capital Academy, and now that no one was bothering him, he comfortably soaked in the hot spring, lounging on a chair while being massaged by the maids.

“Young Master, you’ve lost weight during this time.”

The maid who had been with him since childhood gently stroked Lu Lin’s body with both hands, saying with a hint of distress.

When had her young master ever been so busy?

“Then you all must give this Young Master a good rub.”

Lu Lin said with his eyes closed, his hands also moving restlessly.

Thump-thump-thump.

Just as Lu Lin was reaching the peak, the door was suddenly knocked. Several maids quickly tidied their clothes, and at Lu Lin’s signal, one maid went to open the courtyard gate.

“Shui Chuan, what do you need me for?”

His subordinates all knew he was resting now, and they wouldn’t disturb him unless it was something important.

Sure enough, Shui Chuan’s first sentence piqued his interest.

“Young Master, the Akatsuki organization has discovered a group of summoned beasts in the ocean.”

A moment later, Lu Lin, casually draped in a coat, took Shui Chuan to City Six.

“Big Brother.”

Yahiko, who had been waiting there for a long time, walked up to Lu Lin as soon as he saw him.

“Hmm.”

Lu Lin nodded and looked at Yahiko, asking:

“What Shui Chuan said, is the news true?”

“Naturally.”

Yahiko nodded and said:

“Konan has already investigated. There is indeed a group of giant whales there, in vast numbers, and they also possess an energy fluctuation different from chakra. It must be natural energy.”

“Then let’s go take a look.”

Lu Lin was already a little impatient. He wanted to see how huge marine creatures could become under the influence of natural energy.

With that said, an iron sand platform appeared beneath their feet, and they soared into the sky.

“Big Brother, that way.”

After confirming the direction, Yahiko pointed. There were five people in total: Yahiko’s trio, and Lu Lin and Shui Chuan.

Under Yahiko’s guidance, Lu Lin propelled the iron sand platform to its maximum speed.

But even so, they flew for almost an entire day in the air, already far from the mainland, even far from the Land of Water. At this moment, beneath their feet, besides the iron sand platform, no land could be seen; all that met their eyes was the blue ocean.

“It’s around here.”

Konan said. Actually, there was no need for a reminder, because Lu Lin had already seen it: a giant black shadow appeared on the sea surface below, estimated to be several hundred meters long.

Not long after, the back of that giant black shadow became exposed on the sea surface, and a towering stream of water erupted from its blowhole.

“This… it’s really big.”

The people present had seen whales before, but this was their first time seeing one so massive.

“Big Brother, capturing these guys doesn’t seem to be of much use to us, does it?”

Yahiko hesitated for a long time before speaking. These whales were marine creatures; it would be difficult for them to help in land battles.

Moreover, with such a massive size, the chakra required to summon them for combat would definitely not be a small number.

“No matter.”

Lu Lin waved his hand:

“We just need to study how they absorb and utilize natural energy.”

Yahiko nodded thoughtfully. If they could use natural energy to strengthen themselves, then perhaps they wouldn’t need summoned beasts to help them fight.

Thinking of this, his gaze grew even more fervent. During this time, his own strength had finally reached the Kage-level, but against Kage-level powerhouses with Bloodline Limits, he was still a bit weaker.

Especially when facing his friend Nagato, if Nagato didn’t use the Rinnegan, it was fine; he could exchange a few moves with him. But once the opponent used the Sharingan, he would be completely defenseless.

So, he was also eager to improve his strength.
