The Rainbow Glacier began to tremble after the hexagonal crystal was inserted into it.
Years of accumulated snow melted into flowing water, and as the snow receded, it revealed vegetation that had been buried for an unknown number of years.
"So, the treasure of the Land of Snow was actually a geothermal generator," Kakashi lamented.
Naruto really wanted to pry open Kakashi's presbyopic eyes and make him see properly if this was the kind of efficiency a geothermal generator should have.
Even Doctor Octopus's artificial sun didn't have this efficiency.
Naruto still remembered how, when he was younger, the outdoor water pipes at home froze, and the whole family bustled about, using fire to thaw them for over an hour before they finally melted.
And what about the Land of Snow's black technology?
In less than five minutes, it melted the entire landmass. And this was supposedly still an unfinished product. Could you believe it?
The Rainbow Glacier projected a video secretly filmed by Koyuki Kazahana's doting father in her early years.
"Then what other dreams does Koyuki have?"
"To be an actress!"
In the picture, the little loli smiled with innocent purity.
Outside the picture, Koyuki Kazahana cried with happiness.
With this, the Land of Snow mission came to a perfect conclusion.
But Naruto's songstress plan had only just begun.
——————
After Koyuki Kazahana ascended to the throne, she began to fulfill her promise to sing for Naruto.
In the recording studio, Naruto, Koyuki Kazahana, and a group of musicians practiced again and again.
Outside the recording studio, Kakashi's head throbbed. He didn't understand what sounded good or bad, but he could understand the lyrics.
Some lyrics he understood, but others he didn't.
For example, this line, "Let's go home, together, to the dark side of the moon to find the Jade Rabbit," Kakashi found very incomprehensible.
He had heard from the Third Hokage that Naruto's childhood dream was to get married on the moon, but he had dismissed it as a child's fantasy.
So, you still haven't forgotten it, and you're still aiming to make the moon your home?
This wasn't the main reason for his headache. What pained him was this kid's insane thought process.
That nameless song, even without any musical training, Kakashi could tell just by listening to the melody that it was a song expressing sorrow, yet this kid played it with a smile.
And now, this song titled "Gentle Hands," which clearly didn't sound that sad, had this kid crying.
Although all the major ninja villages said Jinchuriki were weirdos, the one from their own village was just too strange.
Wiping away the tears shed from reminiscing, Naruto gestured for the band and Koyuki Kazahana to continue practicing, then walked out of the recording studio.
"Finished?" Sasuke asked.
He also didn't understand why Naruto had acted like that just now, but he didn't ask. Naruto had fits all day long; he was used to it.
"Ah, almost." Seeing Sasuke, Naruto remembered there was still one song missing.
The Situation Reverses - Special BGM for Mixed Doubles.
Back when he watched the Crown Prince and Sasuke fight Momoshiki, when this song started playing, it was truly exhilarating.
Copy it, absolutely must copy it!
Creating a clone, Naruto left with his team.
He had pretty much synced up with the band; the rest could be left to the clone.
Just as the main body stepped out, the clone immediately transformed into Naruko and walked over to Koyuki Kazahana: "Miss, would you teach me how to sing?"
"???" Koyuki Kazahana was completely bewildered.
————
"Now, what are you guys going to do?" Kakashi continued to read his book. The mission was basically over, but for Naruto's song recording, the entire team had chosen to stay for a few more days.
"Going to train, of course." Naruto tossed the device in his hand up and down.
It was something like a Walkman, but different from his previous life. It seemed to play records, or maybe CDs; in short, it was very strange.
This kind of device, so old that it was phased out by the time Naruto was in middle school in his previous life, was considered black technology in the current Naruto world.
There was only one recorded song inside, the nameless song Kakashi had heard just now - Neji's Death.
"Same." Sasuke, the cool kid, was still a man of few words.
"Then I'll go too." Sakura stuck close to Sasuke.
The group teleported away.
Their destination was the Rainbow Glacier.
Naruto conjured a sofa for Kakashi, so he could sit and read.
He knew Kakashi was looking out for him by delaying their return to the village for a few days. Given the current situation in Konoha, as soon as he returned, Tsunade would immediately send him off on another mission.
And once he received the next mission, he wouldn't be able to play around like this anymore.
Putting on his headphones, Naruto started running while dragging iron weights.
Although there was only one song, it allowed Naruto to find the feeling of listening to music while on a morning run from his previous life. He was very happy.
[These kids really do have abnormal thought processes.] Kakashi turned the sofa around. These three subordinates of his were already unbearable to watch.
That device clearly only had one sad song that made people cry, yet Naruto was smiling so happily.
And Sasuke, there was only one tree within a few miles, could you please stop electrocuting it? Do you have a grudge against trees?
Initially, Sakura quietly reading a scroll and practicing silently had given Kakashi some comfort; his team still had normal people. But then, Sakura, for some reason related to her training, furiously punched a nearby rock into smithereens.
In the evening, the group teleported back to the entrance of the recording studio.
Naruto didn't teleport directly inside, afraid of interfering with the recording quality.
"Kakashi-sensei, why do you look so tired?" Naruto asked, puzzled.
This person looked even more tired than he did, and he was the one dragging iron weights.
"It's nothing." Kakashi leaned against the wall outside the door and waved his hand.
These three subordinates had mentally exhausted him to the point of despair. Not a single normal person among them.
"Oh." Naruto pressed his ear to the door. Hearing no sound from inside, he then knocked.
"Enter."
As soon as the door opened, Naruto was dumbfounded. What kind of fit was this clone of his having now?
Inside, the band had already left. Only two young women were sitting at the piano, conversing.
"You're back." Naruko was wearing a white sleeveless t-shirt, black cat ears, and a choker-style single-sided earphone.
"What's this?" Naruto asked, scratching his head.
"She's learning to sing with me," Koyuki Kazahana explained with a smile.
She used "she," not "he"!
"Your sister?" Sasuke, who had followed him in, also paused for a moment and asked.
"Nani!" Sakura was dumbfounded.
Naruko glanced behind the group again, and seeing that Kakashi hadn't come in, she smiled.
A charming and very alluring smile.
Even knowing this was his own clone, Naruto felt his heart skip a beat.
Placing her hands on the piano, Naruko began to play: "Sasuke, I'll sing for you."
The melody was very familiar to Naruto, but he couldn't quite recall what song it was.
Naruko opened her mouth and sang in Chinese: "Mandarin ducks, in pairs…"
I'll be damned, Naruto rushed forward and kicked her away. Naruko crashed through two panes of glass and dispersed into a puff of smoke.
If you can't pick a song, then don't pick one! Why the hell sing Daughter's Affection!
"She sang that?" Sasuke asked doubtfully. He hadn't understood it, and he hadn't heard the whole thing, so he could only ask Naruto.
He still knew this was Naruto's clone.
"Don't know," Naruto said irritably.
Was he supposed to say she saw him as a holy monk and asked if he thought she was beautiful?
Naruto decided to go back and read more books, to listen to the teachings of his predecessors.
Study more, read more books, and look less at pretty Uchihas.
The ill effects of not reading these past few years had come too quickly.
