I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

Hoshino Yu calmly put the map away and stuffed it into the backpack next to her.

He almost forgot about the issue of his talent that he had been displaying these past few days.

Unlike ordinary people, ninjas need to go through various registrations and approvals to leave the village, including to carry out missions.

Ordinary people only need to register if they want to go out.

Children who demonstrate talent at the Ninja Academy are generally regarded as core strategic reserves by the village and are directly included in the list of key guardians.

Given the current relationship between Orochimaru and the Third Hokage, the latter will inevitably report what happened last night truthfully.

Moreover, there are also secret agents and other people monitoring them from the shadows, making it difficult for those in higher positions not to know.

"Yu-kun, why did you stop watching?" Kushina asked, somewhat puzzled.

"We've found our way."

After finishing speaking, Hoshino Yu took out paper and pen and began writing his novel.

Having lived in Konoha for several years, I've explored almost every other place except for a few forbidden areas.

The main river in the forest is swift and teeming with various ferocious fish. Taking two young children boating there could easily lead to trouble if one is not careful, so it is certainly not a good choice.

Therefore, the other tributaries that extend outwards are the target.

Seeing Hoshino Yu intently writing his novel, Kushina was at a loss for words and could only look at Minato.

"Minato-kun, where are you planning to go?"

"I don't know either, I don't know what Yu wants to do..." Minato said with a helpless smile.

He didn't know what Hoshino Yu was up to, but since the other party had made arrangements, he would just follow along.

......

The weekend arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Hoshino Yu started packing her things.

"There shouldn't be any accidents, but we still need to be prepared."

Looking at the food, kunai, bandages, and other items laid out on the table, and seeing that everything was ready, he put them into his backpack.

The kunai was naturally the one used to repel the Root ninjas earlier. As one of the few heirlooms in the family, it was perfect for self-defense.

"Fortunately, we don't need weapons made of chakra metal, otherwise it would be another expense," Hoshino Yu murmured.

The lightning he releases is different from Lightning Release.

To use Lightning Release, one must infuse chakra into a weapon, but he can simply release lightning using the weapon as a conductor.

He had actually had an idea about the choice of weapons for a long time.

A short blade is essential. Combined with his elemental transformation, his speed is comparable to that of the young Minato. He can instantly kill any ninja with a weakness in his hand.

However, it has to be tough enough; Orochimaru's Kusanagi swords are a good choice.

However, Hoshino Yuzao had done research and found that the sword most suitable for him was actually "Raitō Kiba," one of the Seven Ninja Swords.

He has two Thunder Blades, but now he has the ability of "Thunder Metallurgy", which is to directly reshape metal into its original form using the extremely high temperature of lightning.

The two swords were fused together, and then shaped into the form of a Kusanagi sword, which was basically just right.

However, since the war has not yet begun, the ninja sword should still be in Kirigakure, and we can only wait to find it later.

"Yu! Are you ready?"

"They're here!" Hearing the sound of water coming from outside, Hoshino Yu packed her things, grabbed her backpack, and went downstairs.

The sun was high in the sky, and the blue sky was filled with white clouds; it was a beautiful day.

Along with the three of them, including Shuizhu, they had arranged to go boating on the river in the eastern forest today. Ostensibly, it was part of their training, but in reality, it was to complete Hoshino Yu's mission.

Yesterday after school, Hoshino Yu tried going to the pond, but the task didn't work at all, so she had to go find the river.

Looking at Minato, who was dressed in sportswear, Hoshino Yu looked left and right, but couldn't find Kushina, so he teased:

"Didn't Kushina say she was going with you? Where is she?"

"She said she just arrived in the village and has some things to do, so she can't go out for the time being," said Xiaoshuimen with a slightly flushed face and a helpless smile.

"Then it'll still be the three of us."

Hoshino Yu nodded slightly.

He naturally knew what the situation was.

Kushina has come to Konoha to inherit the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and since she is unfamiliar with the place, she naturally cannot move around freely in the short term.

Even if I go somewhere, I'll probably have someone following me.

"In that case, let's go find Senior Water Pillar first."

"it is good."

As they walked side by side, they turned the corner and saw Water Pillar standing in front of the Ninja Academy gate waiting for them.

"Water Pillar-senpai! Let's go!" Hoshino Yu shouted loudly as he looked at the figure in the distance.

The water jet, which was idly kicking pebbles with its hands in its pockets, looked up after hearing a sound from not far away. It saw Minato and Hoshino Yu waving at it from a distance and immediately started running over.

"You guys are so slow! I've been waiting here for ages."

"It was Yu who said it was too early." Minato pointed with her small hand, immediately shifting the responsibility to Hoshino Yu beside her.

"That's early, it's only a little past eight. Did you tell your aunt and uncle?"

Hoshino Yu leaned against the streetlight with her arms crossed and asked the water column.

When you go out to play, the worst thing is when an adult comes looking for you halfway through.

That way, I'm not happy either way.

"We already agreed that it would be fine even if I didn't go home tonight!" Shuizhu said with a smug smile.

"Alright, our current objective is to meet at the pond in the southern forest, and then move the boat to a tributary of the main river in the eastern forest. Is that clear?"

"Understood!" Minato and the water jet responded in unison.

Looking at the two somewhat serious children in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.

"Disperse!"

After saying that, the three figures headed straight for the forest.

......

The forest was quiet, except for the sound of flowing water, and occasionally the calls of birds and animals could be heard from the depths.

The river surface was as smooth as a mirror, and the sunlight shone on the water, making it sparkle and dazzle the eyes.

Hoshino Yu stood by the riverbank, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, observing his surroundings.

"Ha~ha~ha~" Shuizhu lay directly on the grass, panting. "It was really not easy to get here. I should have built the boat here..."

Minato, standing on a tree branch, was slightly out of breath, his stamina deteriorating somewhat compared to Shuizhu.

The wooden boat wasn't large, but for Minato and the Water Pillar, even with a small amount of chakra supporting them, moving it from the southern forest all the way to the east still took a lot of effort.

However, they also consider this part of their training.

"The river is calm, and I don't think there are any ferocious fish in this area."

Hoshino Yu stared intently at the river, as if trying to figure out what was going on.

Without Observation Haki and the ability to develop Mind Field, one is destined not to perceive anything.

"Alright, this is it, 'Captain,'" Hoshino Yu turned to look at the water column lying on the ground. "Are we ready to set sail?"

"Wait a minute, let me catch my breath~"

Minato leaped down from the tree and walked to their side, saying:

"Yu, it's not too late to start after Mizuhashi-senpai has recovered some strength."

"Then you guys rest for a bit, I'll move the wooden boat to the river first."

After saying that, Hoshino Yu walked directly to the wooden boat, grabbed the edge of the boat with both hands, and began to exert force.

Minato and Mizuki wanted to help, but all they saw was Hoshino Yuu pulling a wooden boat that could carry four people towards the river.

puff-

As the wooden boat was launched, a few splashes of water rose from the river surface.

After throwing two oars into the boat, Hoshino Yu pulled the small boat to prevent it from drifting away, then flipped over and jumped, landing steadily inside the boat.

"Have you rested enough? This is also part of the training," Hoshino Yu said to the two of them. "Let's take turns rowing. Minato and I will go first. 'Captain', please take charge of navigating."

Once the two were on the small boat, Hoshino Yu's mental task panel instantly reacted.
