The ship sailed around the coastline of Vortex Country and finally found a huge pier to the west.

However, it seems that this pier has been abandoned for a long time, and although it is large, there are not many places where the various facilities are still well preserved.

Aoki disembarked through the planks lowered by the big ship, and then stood on the dock, taking a closer look at the abandoned dock.

It was found that the place where the pier was built was a naturally formed moon-shaped bay, and to build such a huge pier, it took an unknown amount of manpower and material resources.

However, such a wharf, which was built with a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, would be abandoned here, and those who would have lived by the convenience of the wharf would have been moved from the surrounding area?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, to build such a pier, it is impossible to rely on money alone...... So......

Aoki's pupils shrank suddenly, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart: Could it be that the wharf was built by the Vortex Village that still existed in the ninja world before World War II...... That's right, only a village as powerful as Vortex could build such a huge dock in such a small place as the Vortex Country.

So...... Aoki's heart suddenly felt a little excited, just like the feeling he had when he watched a detective anime in his previous life, and every time he reasoned the case and exposed the murderer at the end.

The Vortex Village was mentioned in the original book, and Aoki also remembered this secret place that was related to the lives of the four generations of Hokage and Naruto, and now, the mystery is about to be revealed.

The ruins of the Vortex Village after its demise are about to appear in front of Aoki's eyes.

……

A group of five people, including Aoki, walked unhurriedly through the dense jungle of the land of Vortex no Kuni.

Before leaving the big ship, Tsunade who was the guide to the shinobi had already asked the captain of the big ship. The news was that they had been deflected due to a storm that was too strong and the wind was blowing too much.

Originally, he was going to the west of the Vortex Country, but he was blown down by a strong wind and came to the east of the island of the Vortex Country.

The location of the Whirlpool Village, which was at its peak before World War II, is located on the east side of the island of the Vortex Country, and the huge wharf was once built at the expense of the Whirlpool Village.

"Tsunade-sama, will this path we take pass through Vortex Village?" Niwa Shinsuke asked with a scared expression.

"That's right, the eastern part of the Vortex Country Island is no longer inaccessible, and there is only one road that once led to the Vortex Village." Tsunade bowed his head slightly.

"That'...... All right. ”

There is no way, Niwa Shinsuke also knows that this may be the only way to go, but as a native of the country of Vortex, the fear of Vortex Village has been instilled by the environment since childhood.

And almost the entire people of the Vortex Country are the same as him, full of inexplicable fear of the legendary Vortex Village, and it is this feeling that makes it difficult to find people on the east side of the island where the Vortex Village is located.

When he heard that Aoki had to pass through Vortex Village, his heart was suddenly very excited. He was thinking, and he didn't know if there were any sealing techniques left in the Vortex Village, if he could get these sealing techniques, it would obviously be of great help to improve his strength.

What also interests him is that in the original book, the ancestral hall of Vortex Village enshrines the Grim Reaper Mask, which is related to the Grim Reaper's contract and the Ghoul Seal, and is a mask that can truly summon the Grim Reaper.

In the four wars, Orochimaru used this mask to release the souls of the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate, and then carried out the reincarnation of the soil.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Aoki looked at the plump figure of Tsunade in front of him, and suddenly remembered another thing.

That thing is the last time I challenged Kakashi, I remembered a cultivation bug of Naruto in the original book, and this bug is the technique of multiple shadow clones.

Using a shadow clone to cultivate can maximize efficiency, and cultivation is not just as simple as getting twice the result with half the effort, so since then, Aoki has been eager to master this ninjutsu.

However, the technique of multiple shadow clones is a forbidden technique on the Book of Seals, and it is not allowed to be taught privately at all, and it must be agreed by the ape flying sun slash who is the Hokage.

And the Tsunade in front of her is an opportunity for Aoki, with her master-apprentice relationship with the three generations, and according to the current situation in the ninja world, as long as she says a few good words for herself, she should be able to get the cultivation method of the multiple shadow clone technique from her.

Thinking of this, Aoki hurriedly quickened his pace, caught up with Tsunade and walked side by side with her. Then for the next period of time, he talked to Tsunade intentionally or unintentionally, and took the opportunity to pat Tsunade's ass.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Aoki patted his ass until his mouth was a little dry and cracked, although Tsunade had always been very indifferent to his words of praise, but Aoki knew that she was still secretly happy in her heart.

After all, who is a teacher, and his students praise themselves for their skills, what a name for the ninja world, and a model for my generation, how can they not be happy.

People who talk about being unhappy, it's all fake.

Aoki shut up, because he did feel that his mouth was dry, and he believed that if he continued to talk about it, he would soon die of dehydration, so he chose not to speak anymore.

But just as he was distracting from the rest of the world, he saw four or five ninjas dressed in black and wearing armor running towards them.

"Everyone, be on alert!"

Obviously, at the same time that Aoki found those people, Tsunade also noticed, so he immediately ordered.

Hearing Tsunade's words, the four people, including Aoki, all turned to look at the ninja running towards them, looking at the mark on his forehead, and then looking at what he was wearing, it should be the dark part of the fog.

However, how did the dark ninja of the fog appear in the country of Vortex? Is it for the sake of Vortex Village?

Such a question appeared in the minds of Tsunade and Aoki at the same time, and they were thinking about it, but they suddenly found that the fog ninjas had changed direction, and it seemed that they had also discovered them, and then went in another direction.

Seeing that the fog hidden ninjas were gone, Tsunade let Aoki and the others get back on the road, but she looked at the direction in which the fog hidden ninjas left, and the look between her eyebrows suddenly froze unnoticed.

After hitting the road, Aoki continued to think. What the hell are these people doing here, is it for the sealing technique of Vortex Village? But it shouldn't be, after all, the Vortex Village was destroyed by the major powers before World War II, and the unique ninjutsu of the Vortex Village, such as sealing, has long been looted.

What would that be?

It seems that this time the matter is obviously not as simple as imagined, taking advantage of the gap in the hurry, Aoki excused himself to go to the woods to solve the problem, but he used the doppelganger technique to create a clone, and then the clone returned to the team, and the main body rushed towards the general direction of the vortex village.

Running towards the Vortex Village, until it was not too far from the Vortex Village, Aoki reduced his speed in the woods and began to focus on hiding his breath so as not to be discovered by the shadows of the Fog Hidden Village.

In this way, he ran unhurriedly in the direction of Vortex Village, and after about a quarter of an hour, a huge ruin came into his eyes.

The emblem of the once prosperous Vortex Village is still engraved on a huge stone pillar, and the shape of the emblem is the symbol behind the uniform vest of the Konoha Ninjas, symbolizing the friendly relationship between Konoha Village and Vortex Village.

And now that the Vortex Village no longer exists, the only trace that can prove its existence is the ruins in front of you.

Aoki was prostrate on the dense foliage of the trees, and when he looked into the distance, he saw that there was a huge river in front of him, which flowed directly into the sea from high to low depending on the terrain.

On the other side of the river, there is a large area of ruins, which are even more tragic, with broken stone beams and pillars everywhere, and the breeze blows up a cloud of dust, which is supposed to be the debris of a collapsed building that gradually turns into powder over time.

When Aoki saw such a scene, he felt the excitement of seeing the Vortex Village, the sadness of missing its glory, and the dispute hidden under the ruins.

After sorting out his mood, Aoki began to look for the figures of the hidden parts of the fog, wanting to see what their purpose was when they came to the range of the Vortex Village.

Maybe you'll get some benefits out of it.

While Aoki was looking around, there was a sudden movement in the woods behind him, and it seemed that someone was running in his direction, and it wasn't just one or two people.

It seems that the person who came should be those ninjas from the fog and shadows.

Since the Fog Hidden Village has sent out the Dark Ministry, it means that what they have to do this time must not be simple, it must be related to some secrets, otherwise it is enough to send some ordinary ninjas directly, why do they have to send the Dark Ministry.

Aoki watched intently, and checked all the breaths and smells all over his body to make sure that nothing was missing, and then looked in the direction of the visitor.

The people who came soon appeared in their field of vision, and as they expected, the dark ninjas sent by the Fog Hidden Village were by no means more than the few people they had seen when they were on the road before, and their number had really increased at this time, about eight or nine.

"Huh? Something is wrong......"

Aoki looked at the group of foggy ninjas, and suddenly realized that they were dressed a little strangely, not uniform black ninja clothes with gray armor.

Instead, some were shirtless, some were wearing white ninja suits, and some were wearing gray ninja suits.

"Nani! Could it be Yun Ninja, how could they be here...... This makes it trickier. ”

Seeing that they are dressed as ninjas from Cloud Hidden Village, they are not the dark part of Fog Hidden Village at all.

Since Yun Ren is here, where is the Fog Hidden Shadow, and what is the relationship between the two, or they are here for the same purpose.

It wasn't until the eight or nine ninjas approached and saw the Cloud Hidden Village mark on their foreheads that Aoki fully confirmed their identities.

But fortunately, there don't seem to be ninja-level ninjas among them, otherwise they would have discovered their traces a long time ago.
