Chapter 17: Vortex Nation Escort (3)
Leaning his arms on the deck, Aoki looked into the distance, and all he saw was a blue patch. The sun is shining, the sea breeze is blowing, and the sparkling sea surface is like countless ropes, constantly swaying.
"Europe, Europe......"
Suddenly, a crisp roar sounded, and a seagull with snow-white feathers swooped down from the mast of the big ship, and then skimmed over Aoki's head.
Aoki looked at the seagulls that were getting farther and farther away from him, touched his head, and suddenly a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Peaty! on my head! Don't let me see you next time, I must pluck all the feathers off your body when I see you, and then roast and eat!
With a wave of his fist, the seagull had turned into a small white dot in his eyes, apparently flying away.
There was no way, Aoki, who was in a good mood when he saw the sea, saw a lump of white stuff stuck to his fingers, and immediately cried and ran to the toilet of the big ship.
The mountain castle Aoba and Uyue Xiyan on the side obviously also saw his embarrassed appearance, and let out a cheerful laugh from their mouths.
When Aoki came out of the toilet, he saw the other three people except Niwa Shinsuke, including Tsunade, all holding fishing rods in their hands, fishing in the leisurely sea.
Since he didn't know much about the Vortex Country, he asked the sailors on board some questions about going to the waters of the Vortex Country before he got on the ship.
The answer was safe, there was nothing resembling a pirate group in the waters from the Land of Fire to the Land of Vortex.
So they stayed on this big ship, and they didn't have to worry about any danger until they landed in the country of Vortex.
This means that the time when I went to the country of Vortex by boat was equivalent to a trip by Aoki and others.
In this case, Aoki was not polite, and he also borrowed a fishing rod from the sailors on the ship, and then stood on the deck, leisurely fishing.
In the evening, the three Aoki found a pile of relatively dry wood from the old cabin and moved it all to the bow deck, where they lit a fire and set up a barbecue grill on which to cook the fish.
"Well, that's pretty good." Tsunade unceremoniously takes the biggest fish on the barbecue grill and eats it.
"Aoki's craftsmanship is really good, did you often do this at home before?"
Yamashiro Aoba tasted the fish grilled by Aoki, and his mouth immediately burst into admiration.
"Well, almost."
Aoki's skills in his previous life were very good, and grilled fish was a must, but he didn't explain, just nodded.
"Then, Aoki, when this mission is over, can I go to your house and eat grilled fish?"
Mao Yue Xiyan's baby fat face suddenly turned a little red, and there were still oil stains on the corners of his mouth.
Apparently she is very fond of the fish grilled by Aoki, and it is revealed that she has been a foodie since she was a child.
"Okay, no problem."
Aoki bowed, but when he turned his head, he suddenly found that Niwa Shinsuke on the side was watching him and others eat grilled fish, but he could only swallow his saliva secretly.
Somewhat embarrassed, he quickly took a fish from the grill and handed it to Niwa Shinsuke.
Niwa Shinsuke saw the fragrant fish handed over by Aoki, hesitated for a while, and still received it in his hand.
The life of the five Aoki people on the ship lasted for another two or three days, and they all lived very well during this period.
Aoki himself spends his time refining chakras and practicing physical arts, except for fishing for a while during the day.
The amount of chakra has been growing steadily, and it may be that when this mission returns, his chakra amount will be able to reach the level of medium ninja. As for the cultivation of physical arts, the training intensity is still maintained at that level, and there is no change.
"Aoki, what is your dream? When we first met Tsunade-sensei, you didn't seem to say yes! Utsuki Xiyan suddenly accosted Aoki.
"Aoki......" Aoki looked at her sincere eyes, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and asked himself what he wanted to do after he was reborn in the Hokage world.
After a while, Aoki didn't think of any good answers, since he was reborn, he has been trying his best to survive the three wars, so he directly said a slightly perfunctory but real answer.
"My dream is to live." Aoki looked at Utsuki and stared at his eyes seriously.
Seeing that Aoki had been staring at him, he suddenly felt that Aoki in front of him looked good when he was serious.
She was in the stage of ignorance of her feelings, and she became a little shy for a while, and her already red face became even redder, and even what Aoki had just said was as if she were confused.
Aoki blinked, looked at the moon in front of him, and suddenly found that she looked at her face a little distracted, and her face was blushing, and he understood it at once, who was well versed in personnel experience.
Feelings: This little girl actually has that kind of idea about herself, hey! Could it be that she is deeply infatuated with her brother's personality charm? Or is it my handsome, dashing appearance?
When Aoki was crooked, Utsuki Xiyan, who was standing in front of him, also woke up from a brief trance.
When she came to her senses, she was suddenly a little at a loss, obviously afraid that Aoki would guess her thoughts when she saw her appearance just now.
Aoki looked at Mao Yue Xiyan, and saw that Mao Yue Xiyan was sometimes shyly lowering her head, and sometimes pretending to look left and right, obviously a little nervous in her heart.
Aoki, who noticed this, was also a little embarrassed, so he said casually: "Eh! Look, the weather is so nice today! ”
When Mao Yue Xiyan heard this, he also looked at the sky in the distance, but found that at this time, it was already overcast, and the blue sky and white clouds had disappeared, leaving only a piece of black oppression.
Not only that, but even the sky above them was full of dark clouds, and it looked like it could rain at any moment.
"It's weird, it's about to rain." Mao Yue Xiyan pouted.
Aoki also looked at the sky around him at this time, and found that the surroundings had already been covered with dark clouds, and he suddenly slapped himself in his mind.
He's meowing, it's a complete slap in the face, okay!
At this time, the sailors on the big ship also seemed to notice the abnormality of the sky, and after running to the deck to take a closer look, they all showed a somewhat flustered expression on their faces.
What's more, seeing this, he hurriedly ran to the captain's room and reported to the captain of the big ship non-stop.
"Oh my God, it's going to rain a lot!"
Aoba Yamashiro stepped out of the cabin, and behind him was Tsunade.
Tsunade looked at the sky, his eyes were also fixed, and his face showed a slightly solemn look, and he said to Aoki and the others: "It's going to be a heavy rainstorm soon, and heavy rain at sea is usually accompanied by strong winds. It seems that it is difficult for us to arrive at the mission location on time this time. ”
Hearing this, the three of Aoki nodded, and not long after, the captain also came with news, saying that this voyage was affected by a storm and might delay the scheduled time, and everyone should stay in the cabin as much as possible, do not come out, and protect their own safety.
Later, before Aoki and the others enter the cabin, Tsunade finds Shinsuke Niwa, who is still taking a nap on the other side of the deck, and tells him that a storm is approaching and may delay reaching the end of the mission.
Niwa Shinsuke opened his eyes and looked at the sky, nodding his head in understanding.
Then, with most of the sailors, the group of five entered the cabin of the ship, which could not be hit by the storm.
……
Half an hour later, it began to rain heavily in the area where the ship was located, and the rain was accompanied by strong winds.
Many of the debris piled up on the deck that had not had time to be carried into the cabin were swept away by the strong wind and thrown into the endless sea.
Two more days passed, during which the torrential rain did not stop at all, so Aoki and the others could only stay in the dreary cabin.
Fortunately, Aoki was able to exercise when he was bored and refine the chakra, so the two days passed quickly.
And today, not only did the storm not stop, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain continued to penetrate into the cabin, making Aoki and the others wet and uncomfortable.
To make matters worse, the wind was blowing stronger, and the captain had ordered the sailors to inform Aoki and the others that they might change course more than two or three times.
At the same time, the compass on the ship was also unable to work due to the flooding, and the heavy rain did not stop, so there was no view at all at sea, so even the captain did not know exactly where they were sailing at this time.
In this way, Aoki and his party had to stay in the cabin.
And this went on for five or six days, and it was not until the seventh day that the storm finally stopped.
The sun shone down, and Aoki and the others walked out of the cabin. Looking at this long-lost scenery, everyone didn't have time to appreciate it, so they hurriedly took a few gulps of fresh air outside the cabin.
Aoki also took a few puffs, but when he looked around, his gaze suddenly froze, because a small dot appeared on the front of the big ship, that is, in the direction of sailing.
As far as I can tell, the dot is not a piece of land, but a huge island. However, before carrying out this mission, Aoki had also seen the map of the ninja world, and there was absolutely no such a large island in the sea near the country of Vortex.
Then there is only one possibility, it is not an island, it should be a piece of land, it is the country of vortex.
