Chapter 25: The Land of Water

Between the extreme and distant views, at the junction of water and sky, the country of water looms in the mist. Yagami stood at the bow of the boat, his long hair fluttering in the wind. The bed shook, but Yagamiki stood steadily, as if he had become one with the ship.

It is a merchant ship that trades from the Land of Fire to the Land of Water. The hull is huge, and sailing on the sea is like a huge moving pavilion. The sails are embroidered with seabirds, giving the seafarers the wish to travel safely.

A month ago, Orochimaru was going to the Fog Hidden Village in the Land of Water, and appointed Yagamiki, who has now become Orochimaru's right hand, to accompany him. And the members of the star team, who were still lacking in ability, were left in the country of Tian to improve their strength.

For this long trip, Yagamiki is undoubtedly looking forward to it. It's just because the ninja tools with their own characteristics like the Seven Swords of the Fog Hidden are all in the Land of Water, and Kaguya-kun Maro, the water is not moon-white, and they will probably meet them somewhere in the Land of Water.

Behind Yagamiki, there were bursts of shouting slogans. Hi ~ hey ~ The seafarers were naked, exposing their dark and red skin to the sunlight that penetrated the mist. Their bodies were covered in a layer of crystalline liquid, an accumulation of sweat and morning mist.

They pulled a huge fishing net, which was pulled onto the boat little by little, and the net was already full of fresh seafood. The sailors laughed loudly and congratulated each other. Merchant ships traveling far away are always accustomed to the fresh seafood of the sea, and for the sailors, the sea does not hesitate to give them the richest reserves.

It is a joy to get such a huge reward when they are about to reach their destination, and the sailors can make a little extra money with these sea goods, which will not be deterred by the owners of merchant ships.

Sailors pick and choose from fishing nets and throw small fish back into the sea. Experienced sailors never go out of their way to catch a fish.

"Uncle Kimura, this harvest is good. Stepping off the bow, Yagamiki greeted the old sailor who commanded the sailors.

He was the first mate on board the ship and had a wealth of sailing experience. The old sailor has a grandson who is as old as Yagamiki, but the old sailor often goes to sea with his son, and his beloved grandson has very little time, so he has a good impression of the polite Yagamiki.

"Ah, Xiaoqi, go farther, this will get fishy. The old sailor, who still had strong muscles, waved his hand and motioned for Yagamiki to stay away.

The fish in the nets jumped and splashed, and the sea breeze blew in front of Yagamiki, bringing the fishy sweet smell of the sea.

"It's rare to catch so many fish, and when you get ashore, you can sell it for a lot of money by buying leftover seafood. The old sailor laughed.

"Come, Xiaoqi saw that squid? I'll make you and your father squid soup in the evening!"

"I understand Kimura's intentions, and now Yagami and I are about to get off the boat, and we won't be able to drink squid soup. "At some point, Orochimaru, who had been staying in the room, came out. The long black hair was scattered in the wind, and Orochimaru rarely exuded the tranquility and tranquil temperament of his youth.

"You can see the land of water, but the ship doesn't reach the port until night. The old sailor said puzzled.

"Qi, let's go. Ignoring the old sailor, Orochimaru walked slowly to the side of the ship.

"Goodbye, Uncle Kimura. Bowing slightly to the old sailor, Yagami Qi followed Orochimaru to the side of the ship.

Wow~ In the exclamation of the sailors, Yagamiki and Orochimaru jumped lightly and stood on the waves raised by the side of the ship.

The sea breeze whistled in his ears, and on the surface of the sea, where the waves were constantly stacked, Yagami Qi ran after Orochimaru. At a very fast speed, the noisy seaside towns of the water country are gradually appearing in front of you.

"They're ninjas!" On the merchant ship, a sailor stared blankly at the two men running on the sea, and the fish in his hand broke free from his hand and jumped into the sea.

"Ah, my fish. The sailor woke up. It doesn't matter if the ninja is a ninja or not, it has nothing to do with their lives anyway.

Yagamiki ran above the sea for the first time, but fortunately, he had been paying attention to training his chakra control, so he could appear to be at ease.

The sea rose and retreated under his feet, and Yagami Qi put away the chakra under his feet and stepped on the soft sand. Without words, Orochimaru continued to walk towards the town. Flashing a smile at the curious child picking up seashells and playing on the beach, Yagami Qi followed Orochimaru.

The Land of Water is located outside the continent, and its geographical location on all sides of the sea means that they are easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the great ninja wars of the past dynasties, the land of water also rarely participated. Surrounded by the sea, the water country is rich in seafood, has a well-developed domestic fishing industry, and is often traded by valuable seafood countries.

At this time, it was the time when the three generations of Mizukage and the three-tailed man Pillar Force Kuraya were in power. This Mizukage ruled brutally and repressively, sealing off the Fog Hidden Village, creating the cruel title of Blood Mist. But in the end, it is a big country, and as far as this small town is concerned, it is much more prosperous than most small towns in Tanokuni.

"Fresh big fish, 500 yen a pound!"

"Fresh shrimp, fresh shrimp, live shrimp. ”

"Grilled squid, I want to eat the second bite when I eat one bite, fragrant~"

Walking on the road, smelling the smell of seafood, and listening to the endless shouting, Yagami Qi couldn't help but look left and right, experiencing the exotic customs.

With a flicker in his eyes, Yagami Ki saw that Orochimaru seemed to have discovered something, and walked straight in one direction, gathering his scattered thoughts, and Yagami Qi immediately followed.

I saw Orochimaru walk to a shop and stop, he slowly stretched out his two hands.

Yagami looked at the boss who was making iron plate squid at this time, he was skilled in knife skills, and his knife skills were extremely fast, and he cut the squid evenly in a few clicks.

Could it be that this is a hermit master who started a snack business because he was tired of fighting and killing?

Orochimaru held on to his sleeve with one hand and stretched out two fingers with the other, in an elegant posture.

"Boss, two servings of kombu fish ball yaki"

"Okay, come right away!" The middle-aged man in front of him smiled, cooking the squid on the iron plate very quickly with one hand, and inserting a string of fish balls with a wire in the other.

The fish balls are put into the oil pot and make a nice sound, and Yagami Qi can already smell the fragrance. Inevitably, my stomach groaned~.

He got up early, and he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

The slender fingers pinched the iron chisel, and a steaming fish ball was handed to Yagamiki. Kimuchi took the fish balls, and Yagami Qi forgot even the etiquette of facing Orochimaru.

"The taste of this fish ball is very good. Holding a fish ball in his hand, Orochimaru took another step and said lightly.

It's delicious. I took a bite of the fish ball, felt the soft touch, and the fresh fragrance that permeated my mouth said silently in my heart. Orochimaru stopped in front of a shop again, and he sat down.

"Boss, come with two ramen, what do you want?"

"The seafood flavor is good. Finally, Yagamiki recovered from the impact that Orochimaru had given him.

"Then two seafood-flavored servings, boss. Orochimaru said. It was clear that it was breakfast.

The noodles came up after a while, and Yagami ate the ramen by himself. A wonderful year popped up in my mind, and I didn't know what it would taste like to eat Ichiraku ramen with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru and Yagami go and stop together, but it is as comfortable as traveling abroad. Finally, they came to a place that was shrouded in thick fog for many years.

"This place is probably Wuyin Village. Yagamiki had an inexplicable feeling. The fog that permeates the surroundings is misty and sticky, full of a sense of danger, and makes people's nerves tense involuntarily.

Orochimaru didn't seem to feel it at all, and he walked in the fog so naturally that he even revealed a leisurely taste. Yagami didn't see a wicked smile on Orochimaru's face, and his tongue kept licking his lips.

If Yagami Qi saw it, he would know that Orochimaru's interest had been provoked again. Next, Yagamiki was puzzled to see Orochimaru turn into a bamboo forest.

The bamboo was rustled by the wind, and Yagamiki finally sensed that something was wrong.

"Mm, come out. Orochimaru said with a wicked smile.

The forbearance equipment rained down, shooting from all directions from the bamboo tops, and Yagami Qige blocked the few forbearances that attacked him. Most of the targets of the ninja light are slowly melting, and the earth clones!

Holding a short knife in one hand and a scabbard in the other, Yagami looked around.

Another gust of wind blew the bamboo, blowing away some of the thick fog, and in the fog condensation, Yagamiki saw a ninja wearing a white mask in the treetops.

Wind escape, big breakthrough!

With the help of the fierce wind, Yagami Qi could see more clearly.

One, two, three!

Yagamiki could feel the thick white mist that surrounded him.

Strong enemies like the sea!
