In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"Yes, uncle, it's been a long time."

Tianyu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said with a smile.

What happened before was only a year ago.

But looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Many things have happened in Konoha over the past year: the Third Hokage died, and Danzo also died.

The power structure of Konoha has been completely reshuffled.

Konoha will become better than before.

"Yes, it's been a long time. You must be here in the Land of Waves on a mission. If there's anything we can do to help you, just let me know. We're all thinking about repaying Konoha's kindness. Oh, by the way, I caught a lot of fish today. Don't leave tonight, stay for dinner. I'll call everyone over and let them thank you properly."

Dazner said with a smile.

"No need for a meal. We have urgent business to attend to and must get to the Land of Water immediately. But could you find us a boat, sir?"

Tianyu asked with a smile.

"Of course, what we have in abundance here now is boats. If you want to go to the Land of Water, you can go. I'll take you there tonight. Recently, there's been some trouble with an ocean current. The seawater has become very turbulent. If you go directly there, even small boats will be swept away."

"We need to find some sailors who know the roads well to go through the side paths. I just came back from fishing in that area and I know it very well. Let me take you there."

Tazner didn't say anything more after hearing this.

They immediately arranged a boat to take Tianyu and the others away.

"Thank you very much, uncle."

Tianyu nodded with a smile.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Uncle, we'd still be searching the whole world for a big ship, and even if we found one, we might suffer some hardships at sea without knowing the news."

Naruto smiled when he heard this.

"Not at all. If it were ninjas from other villages, and they came here looking for a ship, it might be like this. After all, our Land of Waves is currently engaged in trade with the Five Great Nations, and we have a lot of business to do. It's not so easy to free up a ship."

"But this is your Konoha, you've helped us so much. Let alone sending you to the Land of Water, I'd even give you my ship. It's just a bit of a pity though. Tatsuya, who used to talk about wanting to see Naruto and Ame-no-Miko every day, has gone out to sea to fish with Sanji these past two days."

"It looks like we won't be able to see him."

Dazner was somewhat moved.

But he was still very happy.

After all, they finally met their long-lost benefactor.

There will be other opportunities in the future!

Tianyu smiled and said.

"Wait a moment, I'll pack my things and then I'll see you off."

Dazner smiled.

Then I went to clean the fish out of the fishing net.

After packing up, they rowed the small boat and sent Tianyu and the others away from the port.

night.

A thick fog had risen over the sea, turning everything into a white expanse.

I can't see my surroundings clearly.

But Tazna knew this area of ​​the sea like the back of his hand.

So sailing at night isn't a big deal.

"Brother Tianyu, look! There are so many fish!"

Naruto pointed to the school of fish on the side of the boat and said in surprise.

"what?"

Ten no Yu. He looked in the direction Naruto was pointing.

Indeed, we saw a lot of fish.

The fish were all swimming in other places, but they didn't look like they were swimming; they looked more like they were running for their lives.

These schools of fish were not followed by any large predators such as sharks.

This is rather strange.

"Alas, what a pity. We can't fish here this time. Otherwise, we could have cast the nets and returned with a full catch."

Tazna looked at the school of fish and felt a pang of regret.

After all, with such a large school of fish gathered together, catching them couldn't be easier.

Upon hearing this, Tianyu was taken aback.

Then he walked up to Tazna.

"Uncle, tell me, are all the fish like this lately?"

"Yes, I don't know what's wrong with this ocean lately. The ocean currents and climate are changing very quickly, and some freshwater fish have come here. Although there aren't many, we can still see one or two each time. More importantly, these fish gather together, making them very easy to catch, much easier than before."

Dazna spoke of what had recently happened at sea.

"Lord Tianyu, have you thought of something?"

Seeing Tenyu like this, Kakashi immediately asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, but it's probably about what I guessed."

Tianyu shook his head, then nodded.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. We'll be in the Land of Water soon. You all need to get ready quickly. Orochimaru gave us the way to contact Guren. Once we get to the Land of Water, we need to contact Guren and that brat named Yukimaru as soon as possible. Remember, this time our operation can only succeed, it cannot fail, and we must achieve a decisive victory."

"Otherwise, if those people who mistake us for others manage to find traces of us, it will be detrimental to Konoha's reputation."

Tianyu reminded him.

"Yes!"

Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura, and the others nodded emphatically.

Tazuna met Tenmuro. They seemed so solemn.

So I stopped chatting with them.

Instead, it increased the speed of the ship's journey.

Avoid dangerous areas in the ocean.

Passing through the reef.

After traveling for a day and a night, they finally arrived at a port in the Land of Water.

This port originally belonged to a small village.

However, the Hidden Mist Village later launched the Blood Mist Technique.

This method spread to other villages.

Chapter 342 Red Lotus

Gradually, the village has been abandoned.

No one lives in this village now.

Occasionally, some people would pass by, but they would quickly leave.

After all, a massacre had occurred in this village before.

Almost all the villagers inside were killed.

Every night when I pass by here, I can hear the roars of evil spirits.

No one dared to approach.

"We're here! This is it!"

The ship stopped at Dazna.

"Thank you, uncle. You should go back now. You don't need to wait for us here. We'll find another way back. Also, be careful on your way back. Here's 1 yen. Let's go, Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura."

Tenmuro and Tazuna thanked him.

After leaving him some money, they hurriedly led the Naruto and his companions to Kirigakure.

"Ugh!"

Tazna watched them leave and sighed.

He didn't originally want the money.

But alas, it was too late to catch up.

Looking around at the empty village, and listening to the howling wind all around.

Tazuna then turned around and headed back to the Land of Waves.

After all, he would be very scared if he stayed in this haunted village alone for too long.

"Lord Tianyu, now you can tell me what you were thinking when you saw those schools of fish on the ship, right?"

Kakashi walked up to Tengo and asked him directly.

"Of course. The Three-Tails should be active recently. We can tell from the schools of fish that it is active. It has disturbed many fish that originally lived in the lake, forcing them to flee to the sea. Eventually, they were caught by some ocean currents and ended up at sea. This means that the Three-Tails' whereabouts will soon be tracked down by the Hidden Mist Village. We need to speed up."

"It takes at least half a day to get to Kirigakure from here. I hope everyone can do their best and not hold us back."

As he said this, Tenyu glanced at Sakura.

To be honest, if Sakura hadn't been a member of Team 7, Tenma wouldn't have brought her along at all.

After all, he never had any good feelings towards Sakura.

In the original work, Sakura was always the one who only dragged Naruto down; when things got tough, it was Naruto, and when things were fine, it was Sasuke.

And he's a hypocrite.
