Chapter 40: The Land of the Vortex

On the vast sea directly east of the Fire Country, about 300 kilometers away, there is a quiet island country just one day by boat.

"My lord, the country of vortexes in front of me is the former country, but I can't go any further, I can't see it from above, but it's full of reefs at the bottom of the sea."

"Well, that's it!"

"You're not going to swim there yourself, are you, it's still a long way from the other side?" The middle-aged boatman looked at the other party's delicate face and kindly reminded.

"No need, uncle, I'll just walk over by myself!"

Before he could understand what it meant to 'go over', the young man standing beside him had already turned over and jumped from the bow of the boat, and this sudden action frightened him to run to the edge of the guardrail, and looked down at the same time in his heart, this man was too bold!

However, the boy standing on the surface of the sea smiled and waved at him, and then walked forward step by step, the undulating sea like a flat avenue under his feet.

The middle-aged boatman was stunned for a while before he reacted, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his body, who else can do this kind of thing except those ninja adults, patted his chest, fortunately, he didn't meet the kind of person who kills without blinking......

The islands that are getting closer and closer, the golden sand, the seagulls soaring in mid-air, and the foaming waves all at once create the illusion of a resort, and it is perfect to come in summer, and this trip is just right!

The country of the vortex, the birthplace of the Uzumaki clan, the former ninja village was called the Vortex Hidden Village, the people in the village were born with a long life, and it is rumored that the temper is a little hot, but it is good at sealing, and it is very feared by the neighboring small countries.

At the time of the war, they were besieged by many countries, and the people were almost wiped out.

The cause of the siege is unknown, and there are many questions.

Why didn't Konoha help at that time, Uzumaki is a distant blood relative of Thousand Hands, plus the relationship between Uzumaki's Mito mother's family, and as Konoha's ally, the three reasons are extraordinarily sufficient, and it stands to reason that Konoha should not be a bystander.

And until now, the back of the Konoha Nakaya Shinobi and Kaminobi uniforms still use the logo of the whirlpool, which is also a proof of the friendship between the two sides back then.

So it's a mystery-like history.

Then mention the survivors of the Vortex Hidden Village.

In addition to Nagato and Kushina, there should be other survivors, which is actually very easy to explain, otherwise how should that count Sakura's fragrant phosphorus, it can't be out of the stone.

Speaking of which, I have to mention her bug ability, take a bite to recover Chakra's injury plus the perception of near-full-picture perspective, it is like the advanced logistics positioning of radar and nurse, this kind of high-end talent is exactly what every ninja village desperately wants, even a big ninja village like Konoha is no exception.

I just don't know if the former is a certain kind of blood inheritance limit or a peculiarity of the Vortex Clan.

In the manga, Nagato didn't show the ability to vortex, Kushina was only good at sealing, and Naruto didn't, so Kasami was a special case?

Just thinking like this, the soles of Lu Ming's shoes had already stepped on the soft sand, and the sea breeze was blowing slowly, blowing the coconut leaves constantly swaying, and also blowing his hair to dance wildly.

The Land of Vortex has arrived.

……

It took him about an hour before he finally spotted people in a valley.

He wasn't too surprised, in fact, he had already inquired with the boatman who sent him, there were indeed many villages in the country of the vortex, but they were very backward, and many people who had escaped the war and famine gathered here, and the people of the country of the vortex who actually lived here were basically difficult to find.

"Hello, excuse me!" Lu Ming chose a family at random and knocked politely on the door.

"Who!"

The pace was not fast, and after waiting for a while, the door was opened, and it was an old man.

"Who are you looking for?"

Although he was a living person, the old man's voice did not show vigilance, perhaps because Lu Ming's delicate face had some favorability.

"Grandma, I'm a passing traveler and want a glass of water to drink, is it convenient for you here?"

"Grandma, who!" Another immature voice sounded in the room, and a young man about the same age as Lu Ming walked out, with curiosity on his face.

Lu Ming smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and said, "Let me introduce, my name is Tanaka Lu Ming, a traveler who travels around, and is a little thirsty after walking a long way, and wants you to ask for water to drink here." ”

"Then come in, it's hot at noon, and take a break by the way."

The old man's smile was very kind, Lu Ming thanked him, and followed the two of them in.

The small house built of all wood is impossible to be luxurious but very clean, which gives Lu Ming a very good impression.

After sitting at the wooden table and taking a sip of water, the old man asked questions such as where Lu Ming's home was, and Lu Ming also answered them one by one with a smile.

Communication is a science, and you can't ask people directly about the ruins of the Ninja Village in the country of Vortex as soon as you meet, so it's easy to be wary of the purpose.

Lu Ming chatted with the old man for a while, and told her grandson some deeds of the journey, because his eloquence was not bad, the picture was full of sense, the old man listened with a smile on his face, and the young man listened with relish.

At this time, Lu Ming, who felt that he had foreshadowed enough, inadvertently asked, "Grandma, I heard that there is a ruin of a former ninja village here, I want to go over and visit it, do you know where it is?" ”

It's just that before the old man could speak, the young man on the side couldn't wait to speak.

"I know this!"

"Really?"

"It's a little bit further up the hill to the north, I've been there with my friends before, but it's really not fun to be in the tatters!"

Hearing this, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, and then returned to normal, but the two people next to him did not notice this detail.

"yes, thank you so much!" As soon as he asked, Lu Ming sighed that he was really lucky.

"There are wild beasts in the mountains, and now it can only be at night, so it's too dangerous, so it's better to spend the night here first, and then go there tomorrow morning." The old man took a sip of water from his teacup and suggested, "Although it is a little crowded here, it can still live in one person if you pack it up." ”

Lu Ming hesitated a little, but finally nodded and agreed, "Then I'll bother you." ”

……

After a simple dinner, the sky darkened, and Lu Ming, who was lying in the house, looked at the night sky outside the window with his hands on his pillows, and his thoughts were a little complicated.

In fact, he came here to prove a guess that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Yes or no, he needs to get an answer, and settle a matter......
