Chapter 68: Shipwreck
The Minamiga River is very long, but Yasuo and the others are already downstream, and with the addition of steam power downstream, in one night, the Hatsukumo Maru rumbled into the ocean.
The Minamiganokawa River brings abundant organic matter from the interior of the continent and breeds large numbers of fish and shrimp off the coast, which in turn attract flocks of seagulls that hover under the morning glow.
The deck area, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery directly, is exclusive to VIPs, except for Yasuo, who are basically rich people who travel and trade with them.
They were well-dressed and well-behaved, with the style of an upper-class aristocracy.
But the real nobleman here, Tsunade-san, obviously did not have the consciousness of being a lady, she faced the sea breeze, her hair was messy, and her beautiful eyes were also covered with obvious dark circles, looking at the distant scenery in a daze.
"Last night was unusually quiet!" Nanako walked over with the food.
Although she was in a state of vigil with a high concentration of her mind all night, compared to Tsunade, Nanako's complexion was not bad, after all, for ninjas, a sleepless night was too common.
The breakfast on board is buffet, which is really good for the whirlpool family who are rich in big stomachs.
Under the contemptuous eyes of the upper echelons, Nanako piled up a small mountain on the plate with various foods.
Tsunade seemed extraordinarily quiet today, completely devoid of the liveliness of yesterday's chatter, and Yasuo also looked tired.
Distributing the food to Tsunade and Yasuo, Nanako asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you, are you not used to the bumps in the sea, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
"Last night...... Woowoooooo.......oo
Yasuo just wanted to speak, Tsunade quickly picked up a piece of toast, stuffed it whole into Yasuo's mouth, and said first: "Sister Nanako, are we already on the sea now?" ”
"We've arrived in the West Sea!"
Nanako stretched out her hands, felt the sea breeze, and said with a smile, "Of course, according to your Fire Country, this is the East China Sea. Also, don't be too nervous, after all, the existence of the enemy is just speculation, it's better to enjoy the sea view, and you can bear it for a while. ”
......
After a few hours, Yasuo understood what Nanako meant by "having to bear".
In Yasuo's impression, if in the sea king, the ocean that dominates can dominate the world, the sea in the Hokage world has a very low sense of existence.
In the past life, there was a saying that one of the reasons why the Eastern civilization is a continental civilization and the Western civilization is a maritime civilization is the choice of the sea.
If the Mediterranean Sea is as quiet as the silly daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, then the sea in East Asia is a shrew that can be scolded from the entrance of the village to the end of the village, and human exploration is not welcome at all.
Even a country like Japan, which should develop a maritime civilization no matter how you look at it, has become an agricultural civilization that farms and raises cattle under the dual influence of Chinese civilization and the harsh shipping environment in the western Pacific.
And the world of Hokage, which is very similar to the social structure of ancient Japan, naturally inherited this characteristic, even ironclad ships were popular, but the focus of the world was still on the mainland.
After a short period of calm, Yasuo felt the scorching heat of the ninja ocean, where the currents of the East China Sea of the Fire Country and the North Ocean Currents of the South Sea converged, forming a complex hydrological environment, not only with high waves and strong winds, but also with extremely fast climate change.
Yasuo and Tsunade had already returned to the cabin, and even then, they had to hold on to the objects fixed in the room to prevent their bodies from flying out.
Yasuo was very suspicious that if the Hatsukumo Maru was an old-fashioned sailing ship, it would have been buried at the bottom of the sea, and it seems that Mito had suffered a lot of sin when he got married.
With such hydrological conditions, it is no wonder that in the future, Cardo will be able to monopolize shipping in the country of waves, and large ships of a certain size will not be able to ensure safety.
Fortunately, there was no seasickness among the three, even when it was the most bumpy, Yasuo only felt slightly uncomfortable.
This continued for an afternoon, until the twilight sun shone on the surface again, announcing that the sea was calm again.
"Sister Nanako, there won't be such a terrible thing next, right?"
Tsunade asked with trepidation, today's experience shattered her beautiful illusions about the sea, and if she chose again, maybe she would choose to take more land.
After combing the scattered golden ponytail for Tsunade, Nanako said with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess Tsunade, we have sailed out of the vortex area, and there will be a calm sea area from behind, and we will be able to reach the country of the vortex by waiting for tomorrow morning......"
Bang!
However, before Nanako could speak, with a loud bang, the entire ship shook violently.
"Attention passengers, attention passengers!"
"The ship encountered an unknown impact, encountered an unknown impact!"
"Please stay calm, please stay calm!"
Although the flight crew turned on the radio for the first time, the panicked shouts of the crowd could be heard clearly even in the VIP area.
In fact, the passengers in the VIP area were not much better, and the well-dressed rich merchants and ladies were also like frightened quails, scurrying around, and the whole scene was completely out of control.
"Damn, it's the fluctuations of the chakra! Careless! ”
Nanako's face was pale, and she firmly held Yasuo and Tsunade in her arms, she didn't expect the enemy to be so desperate and openly attack civilians, even during the war years, it has already violated the taboo of ninjas.
......
At the same time, on the ocean not far away, several half-length figures slowly rose from the water waves, and their heads were wearing the forehead guards of the Mist Ninja Village.
One of the slightly younger ninjas looked at the half-capsized ship in the distance, and the crew members who were constantly struggling in the whirlpool, with an unbearable look in their eyes:
"Captain, is it necessary to get to this point? Those are just ordinary people, and there are several nobles of our country on the ship, so if someone finds out, the wrath of the daimyo will be unbearable even for the second generation of the lord......"
"Fools, dead people can't speak! The word of the command of the watermelon mountain puffer ghost is 'do whatever it takes', and if you can't complete this task, you know the methods of that adult, right? ”
Hearing the name of the watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost, the slightly younger Kiri Shinobi seemed to have thought of something terrible, his face turned slightly pale, and he bit his lip and didn't dare to say anything more.
Another mist ninja sighed and said, "It's only strange to blame the lack of intelligence, what are the identities of these ninjas of Konoha and Vortex Hidden Village?" How can you be so rich...... Hatsumo Maru's VIP ticket costs 50,000 yuan each! ”
"Although intercepting and killing the rich can also get close to the target, but after all, the other party has a special ninja, any superfluous actions will increase the risk of mission failure, in short, the task is still completed, the whirlpool caused by the sinking of the iron ship is not something that can be resisted by manpower, and it will not be safe here for a while, let's evacuate immediately!"
