I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

Hirota Tulio was flattered and took the dishes and chopsticks handed to him by the girl. He couldn't help but glance at the fisherman lady who rescued them from the sea.

Yuhuo looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with black hair with a hint of purple, and wearing a coarse linen shirt. The most noticeable thing was that his left face, forehead, arms and ankles were all wrapped in layers of bandages.

Is he injured? He looks seriously injured.

Hirota Tulio was thinking as he put the miso soup into his mouth.

"Oh vaguely!"

Although it was just wild vegetables, radishes, and sea fish, with a little miso soup, Hirota Tulio still enjoyed the meal. Even though there were no side dishes, he still gobbled it up, eating two large bowls of brown rice mixed with mostly unknown beans and potatoes.

Although he is Brazilian, Hirota Tulio still has a Japanese stomach and has a special liking for miso soup.

On the other hand, the black man Antonio smelled the miso soup, took a sip, then looked embarrassed and drank half of it reluctantly. The rest was taken by Hirota Tulio and he drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing all the food prepared by Yuhuo, he smacked his lips with a sense of satisfaction.

After eating the hot meal, Hirota Tulio's limbs became active again, and he was finally fully revived.

"Ms. Yuhuo, thank you very much for your hospitality."

Hirota Tulio clasped his hands together and expressed his sincere gratitude to the fishing fire.

"nothing."

Yuhuo responded indifferently, seeming to be very frugal with words and taciturn.

"Ms. Yuhuo, thank you for saving us from the sea."

Hirota Tulio racked his brains to recall.

After the lifeboat capsized, he fell into the sea and drowned. Before he passed out, he vaguely saw a slender, scaly figure similar to a mermaid pulling him up.

He stole a few more glances at the fishing lights.

Did you see it wrong?

"Miss Yuhuo, where are my other companions on the boat?"

At this moment, the door of the thatched hut where Hirota Tulio was staying was opened, and a young couple and a blonde woman walked in.

"Hirota, Antonio, you finally woke up!"

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

With an excited look on his face, Hirota Tulio huddled together with a few of his friends who had survived the disaster. After they calmed down, they realized that the number of people was wrong.

"Isn't Doctor Kabuto Yakushi here?"

Hirota Tulio looked around in the thatched hut and saw that his companions were all confused. He turned to the fishing fire and asked impatiently:

"Miss Yuhuo, there are six people on our lifeboat. Didn't you see there is a man?"

"Six people? I only saw five of you in the sea."

Yuhuo shook his head.

Could it be that……

"Antonio, did you see how the lifeboat capsized?"

The incident happened suddenly, and at that time Hirota Tulio was staring at the small boat coming from the passenger ship and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

“I was paddling and didn’t notice.”

"It seems that a big wave hit and overturned the lifeboat. No, it doesn't look like a wave..."

The young man in the couple said hesitantly.

Doctor Kabuto Yakushi is probably in danger now. Hirota Tulio is filled with regret and wishes he could slap himself a few times. If he had known this would happen, he should not have suggested going to the island for a trip.

Wait, things may not be as bad as we thought. It is possible that Dr. Kabuto Yakushi was rescued by the sailors on the passenger ship.

Their lifeboat sank not far from the passenger ship, and the crew could not just stand by and watch them die.

However, it should have been a long time since Hirota Tulio and his crew capsized. How come rescue hasn't arrived yet? They are still staying in the thatched hut on the island.

"Never mind, let's call the police first. No, the Coast Guard."

Hirota Tulio took out a mobile phone from his pocket, but unfortunately it had been soaked in sea water for a long time and could not be turned on.

After asking other companions, he learned that their cell phones either fell into the sea with their luggage or had malfunctioned like his.

"Ms. Yuhuo, could you please lend me your cell phone? I think there should be a signal here?"

"Signal? Cell phone? What is that?"

Yuhuo frowned and asked in confusion.

"How can this be?"

Hirota Tulio was stunned, and he and the couple who had returned from Japan looked at each other, both with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

After asking again, seeing that Yuhuo did not seem to be pretending, Hirota Tulio looked at the simple and rustic furniture and furnishings in the thatched hut and couldn't help feeling pity.

"Ms. Yuhuo, are you living alone on an uninhabited island?" Hirota Tulio asked cautiously.

“Although I live alone, the village is on the other side.”

Yuhuo raised his bandaged hand, but seemed to remember something, so he put it down and pointed to the east with his other hand.

Hirota Tulio couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this is not an uninhabited island and there is a village, so we can contact the outside world for help.

"You are strangers who have entered the island from the outside world."

"We are very sorry for coming onto the island without permission. We had no idea it was inhabited. We will leave as soon as possible."

The long-haired woman in the couple asked tentatively:

"Miss, what is the name of this island?"

"Penglai."

"Penglai? Haha, is your island trying to piggyback on the fame of the First Emperor and Xu Fu? I see, you are planning to use it as a tourist feature." The young man clapped his hands and laughed.

"No, this is the fairy island Penglai that the First Emperor was looking for two thousand years ago."

Yuhuo replied seriously.

"Haha, you are such a joker! Are you going to tell me that there is an elixir of life on this so-called Penglai Island?"

The young man rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain.

"Of course, there is a legend about the elixir of life on the island."

Yuhuo said as a matter of course.

"However, the details are not something that a half-woman like me can know."

The young man twitched his lips, feeling that this was really too ridiculous. Was this girl getting too into the role?

"Guangtian, this girl might be..."

The young man drew circles on his forehead with his fingers, suggesting that there was something wrong with Yuhuo's brain, and whispered in Hirota Tulio's ear.

"Let's go to the village as soon as possible and seek help from someone who can make the decision."

"What are you talking about? Penglai, is there anything special?"

Hirota Tulio was confused.

What exactly do they mean by these confusing words?

Could it be that my Japanese is not good enough that I couldn't understand what Miss Yuhuo and the couple were saying?

Even the Japanese-Brazilian Tulio Hirota was like this, so the black Antonio and the foreign white girl were naturally like listening to a foreign language and had no idea what they were saying.

Unexpectedly, Yuhuo's eyes flashed, and he said calmly:

"If you want to leave, go find the witch on the sacred peak. Only she can send outsiders out."

"Ha, ahahaha, we get it. Hirota, let's go first."

The young man smiled awkwardly, stood up and pulled Hirota Tulio as if to leave. Several people had already walked out of the door of the thatched hut.

The blonde woman who stayed at the end looked at the bandages on Yuhuo's body for several times and took out a box of ointment from the bag on her shoulder.

"This! Treats wounds and infections, and is good for the skin!"

The foreign white girl imitated the movements, and her Japanese was awkward and unfamiliar, as she took out the ointment and tried to stuff it into Yuhuo's hand.

He accidentally touched Yuhuo's bandaged arm.

Yuhuo's face changed and he pulled his arm back as if he had been electrocuted, spilling the ointment onto the ground.

"Yes, sorry."

"You guys should leave quickly! Don't stay on the island for too long."

Yuhuo ordered them to leave with a cold face, then closed the door of the thatched hut.

"Why did you suddenly turn hostile?"

The people outside looked at each other.

"It's my fault. I accidentally touched Miss Yuhuo's wound."

The foreign girl stammered in English: "Miss Yuhuo, there seem to be bumps like fish scales under the bandage..."

"Is it a skin disease like ichthyosis?"

The bandages wrapped around Yuhuo's body were indeed eye-catching, the young man speculated.

"Oh no, she lives alone and is isolated from others. Could it be an infectious disease?"

The long-haired woman suddenly screamed, as if she saw something dirty, and stepped back in fear.

"Shut up! He just saved us, how can you have such nonsense thoughts?"

Hirota Tulio frowned and scolded rudely.

The young couple suddenly laughed awkwardly.

The foreign girl looked at the dilapidated thatched house, her eyes reddened, and she choked up:

"She is still a minor, living alone in a place like this, and she has such a serious illness. It's really pitiful."

"As expected, the Americans are so naive. We can't even protect ourselves right now, yet they are still being so chaste."

The young man secretly complained and said impatiently: "After we get out, we will find a way to donate some money to that girl and treat her illness."

"Let's leave it like this for now. Let's go to the village on the island."

The group left the thatched hut where Yuhuo lived and walked along the island's beach.

The clear and transparent waves beat and wash the pure white and delicate silver sand beach. The sea breeze blows towards you, bringing fresh and pleasant air, and the sea and the sky are connected in the distance.

On the other side is a large tract of lush primeval forest. Several green and elegant mountains are looming in the clouds, isolated and independent from the world, like a fairyland on earth.

“It’s really beautiful, so beautiful!”

"An island of this level should have been developed into a resort long ago. How come I have never heard of it?"

"What a shame, my digital camera fell into the sea."

The dreamlike beauty made them marvel. Although they had traveled all over the world, the scenery on the island was still an eye-opener for them.

If the boat hadn't capsized and Dr. Kabuto Yakushi wasn't missing, they might have let themselves go and started playing on the beach.

"I see. Penglai Island is a legend similar to the mysterious island or the fountain of youth?"

Hirota Tulio was still brooding over what Yuhuo had said before, and while walking on the beach, he asked the young couple about the stories and legends of Penglai Island.

Penglai Island is widely known in Japan, and the young couple told the other three everything they knew, adding some exaggeration.

"That's about it. That girl said this is Penglai Island. How is that possible?"

As they talked, they were approaching their destination.

On the coastline, a village consisting of rolling thatched houses and wooden houses comes into view.

The group was overjoyed and quickened their pace. On the tree-lined path leading to the village, they saw two children, a boy and a girl, playing and laughing on the side of the road.

As soon as they saw a few people coming, the two children stopped what they were doing, opened their eyes wide, and looked at them curiously.

"Hello, kids."
