The seaside at night is exceptionally quiet.

According to Uzumaki Seto's previous arrangement, the group chose to camp at the dock and wait for dawn before going to sea to the country of Uzumaki.

Originally, there were ninjas from the Uzumaki clan, and Toshihiko and they should be able to sleep peacefully.

However, according to the meaning of Sarutobi Sunslash, as a ninja, you must develop the habit of vigil when you go out on a mission.

After all, night is often the time when people are least vigilant and the enemy is most likely to attack.

So counting Toshihiko, the four of them kept vigil in two groups.

Toshihiko and Tsunade keep the first half of the night, while Jiraiya and Orochimaru keep the second half of the night.

And the ape Fei Ri slash himself, well, is sleeping peacefully in a big tree on the shore.

As for whether he was asleep or not, it is unknown.

Leaning against a reef on the shore, Toshihiko gently swayed the bonfire in front of him with a stick.

As for Tsunade, he sat on the rock, holding his chin with his hands, and just quietly looked at Toshihiko's cheeks that were illuminated by the firelight.

"You're afraid that you won't see me in the future, so you're going to see enough at once?"

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and Toshihiko said with a smile to his feelings.

"yes, maybe I won't see you for a long time in the future, and I won't even recognize you in a year."

Listening to Toshihiko's words, Tsunade was not taboo at all and continued to stare at him with wide eyes.

"Uh~!"

At this moment, Toshihiko was a little dumbfounded.

Originally, he thought that Tsunade would be shy because of his words, but this was not the case.

"You're thinking too much, has the way you looked at five changed a lot from what you look like now?" Toshihiko chuckled.

"Whew~! That's just as well. Tsunade sighed softly, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at Toshihiko.

"Is there anything else wrong? Ask, don't hold back, you may not be able to ask if you want to ask in the future. ”

Seeing that Tsunade looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Toshihiko said lightly.

"Toshihiko, you said that in a year, you will forget about us?" As if to muster up courage, Tsunade put his head directly in front of Toshihiko and spoke.

As if thinking of something again, Tsunade's expression darkened slightly: "After you arrive in the country of vortex, you will definitely meet more partners, maybe you won't want to come back then." ”

"Stupid, I'm a ninja of Konoha and a disciple of the second Hokage, my family is in Konoha, how can I not go back."

Listening to Tsunade's murmuring, Toshihiko was stunned for a moment, and then gently pinched Tsunade's little Qiong's nose.

"Really?"

After hearing Toshihiko's words, Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise, not caring about Toshihiko's actions at all.

"Of course." Toshihiko affirmed, and soon he glanced up at the night sky, stood up and stretched, "It's almost time to wake up Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and get ready for a change of guard." ”

"Hmm~!"

After getting Toshihiko's reply, Tsunade also nodded slightly.

·······

The next day, everyone in the country of Vortex started a busy green morning.

On the dock, the figure of carrying goods comes and goes.

This caused Toshihiko and Tsunade to be awakened by a noise not long after lying down.

Standing on the shore, Tsunade yawned and unconsciously leaned on Toshihiko beside him, without any intention of avoiding suspicion.

"Toshihiko, I'm hungry."

Stretching out his small white hand, Tsunade raised his head and looked directly at Toshihiko.

"Only compressed biscuits." Hearing this, Toshihiko took out the biscuits directly from his shinobi bag and handed them to Tsunade.

Although I was a little disgusted, there was no way to do it in this case, so I tore open the package and Tsunade bit it down.

"Ahem~~!"

"Eat slowly, drink some water."

Toshihiko patted Tsunade's back as he unscrewed the kettle and handed it to her.

"Gollum~!"

She didn't have time to think about it, and after taking the kettle from Toshihiko's hand, Tsunade took a sip of it, and when the biscuit in her throat was swallowed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Tsunade soon discovers a problem, and that is that the kettle belongs to Toshihiko.

She used it directly mouth-to-mouth just now, isn't this counting...

Thinking of this, Tsunade's little face couldn't help but blush.

"Everyone, get ready, it's time to set sail."

And at this time, Uzumaki Seto's escort captain Uchiyama Uzumaki shouted loudly.

Almost at the same time, Ape Fei Sun Slash also issued a summon to the four of them.

Soon, under the arrangement of the Uzumaki clan, Toshihiko and the others also boarded the ship smoothly.

"It's so handsome, it's the first time I've taken a boat to the sea, and it feels really cool."

As the ship sailed out of the port, Jilai couldn't help but shout loudly.

In the Land of Fire, there is a forest as far as the eye can see, and growing up in such an environment, it is natural that Jiraiya has no chance to touch the sea, let alone go out to sea by boat, so it is inevitable that there will be some small excitement and excitement now.

"I hope you'll be able to say something like this later." Ape Fei Ri said with a wicked smile.

For his teacher's words, he didn't pay attention to it at first.

But it didn't take long.

"Gross~~!"

Holding the guardrail, he kept venting the 'rainbow' to the sea, yes, he was seasick.

In fact, for a ninja, seasickness rarely happens.

Because they can prevent the sea from turbulent by controlling the chakra in their bodies, of course, compared to those who have experienced it once.

A person like Jiraiya, who is going to sea on a boat for the first time, is really unprepared.

Even Orochimaru and Tsunade are a little pale now.

Fortunately, their comprehension ability is relatively strong, and after Ape Fei Ri explained the principle of coping, they also slowly began to adapt.

Only Toshihiko, probably because of his physique, has not felt it at all since he got on the ship.

"How's it going, are you still excited?"

With Jiraiya really having nothing to vomit in his stomach, Toshihiko handed over a glass of water and asked with concern.

"I don't want to be on a boat again in my life." After drinking the water in the cup in one go, Jiraiya said with an indignant face.

"I hope so." Toshihiko smiled slightly.

But in the next second, his brows furrowed, and he subconsciously shouted: "There is a situation." ”

"What's the situation, Toshihiko, what are you talking about?"

"Senior brother~! Someone approached the ship, the one who came was not good, it was the enemy. ”

Ignoring Jiraiya's doubts, Toshihiko shouted loudly to Sarutobi.

Enemy Attack~!

As Toshihiko's words fell, Sarutobi frowned.

The sea was still calm, but Sarutobi was sure Toshihiko wouldn't be joking at such times.

That means that the enemy is in... Underwater.

"Captain Uchiyama." Without the slightest hesitation, Ape Fei Ri Slash shouted directly at the whirlpool inner mountain not far away.

"Where's the enemy, isn't that good?"

Jiraiya is still in a state of confusion, isn't the sea calm?

"Boom~!"

But in the next second, with a loud bang, the ship where everyone was located shook violently.

Jiraiya didn't stand firm, and went straight to the deck.
