It took about a month for Li Jianxing's bloodline to improve, and after a month, Li Jianxing noticed that his affinity and control over the elements had improved a lot, as if he didn't need any practice at all, and all kinds of magic elements could obey Li Jianxing's command like an arm. Moreover, the purity of magic power and the condensation of spiritual power in Li Jianxing's body have also improved a lot, and the quality of his body has also been greatly strengthened.

Li Jianxing, who confirmed this result, was extremely excited and wanted to ask Tsunade to share it with her, but when he came to the Hokage's office, he saw Tsunade handing over a task to Red Bean. Seeing this, Li Jianxing couldn't help asking, "Tsunade, what is the task you gave Hongdou?" ”

It stands to reason that asking others about the content of the mission in this way is a taboo even for a familiar ninja, but Li Jianxing has an unusual relationship with several people present, so Tsunade said: "It's a mission related to the country of the sea, and recently the gold ship sent by the country of the sea to the country of water to deliver the donation was attacked by the sea devils, so the country of the sea wants to ask us to send someone to protect the ship that transports the donation this time." ”

"Hey, is that so? Then why don't you let me go with you? ”

"You haven't been ...... for physical reasons lately," Tsunade said with some hesitation.

Li Jianxing made a gesture of no problem to Tsunade, and then said with a smile: "I have just confirmed that there is no problem today, so you can rest assured, by the way, who else is there besides red beans in this operation?" ”

Tsunade said, "This time it's Azuki who is going with Ino, Shino, and Naruto, and you can call them together and set off later, but you need to let me check it out before that." ”

Li Jianxing knew that Tsunade was still worried about himself, so he didn't excuse himself, and agreed on a meeting time with Azumi, and then followed Tsunade to the specially prepared medical room next to the Hokage's office.

After a detailed examination, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Although the indicators in your body have changed from before, they have finally stabilized, and the bloodstain limit of your elf clan is really special, I will study it carefully when I have time." ”

"I said my wife didn't have that need, and why didn't I find out that you still have a hobby of studying these before?" Although he knew that Tsunade wouldn't do anything to him, he still instinctively resisted studying something.

Tsunade looked at Li Jianxing's sad face with a smile, in fact, most of what she said was to tease Li Jianxing, after all, it is really rare to have Li Jianxing's expression like this.

When Li Jianxing arrived at the Konoha Gate, Ino, Naruto, and Shino were already waiting there, and they happened to hear Naruto complain there, "Why hasn't it arrived yet, how can this Red Bean-sensei be as late as Kakashi-sensei." ”

"Naruto, I heard you, but be careful when you say bad things about red beans." Li Jianxing said with a smile: "If you make Hongdou angry, she may let those little pets greet you well." ”

"What! It's not that I want it, I hate snakes the most! Naruto said loudly. In the three months of the light vein, Naruto can be regarded as having known Azuki Bean, and Naruto really doesn't like snakes very much, especially after seeing Azuki often playing with snakes, he has a little respect for Azuki Bean.

It's just that Naruto's voice was obviously too loud, and as a result, the red bean who had just arrived listened to it, and then Naruto suddenly felt something more in his clothes, and then got out of Naruto's collar.

"Ahh O snake! Naruto jumped up in embarrassment, panicking to shake the snake off his body.

Seeing Naruto's funny appearance, Azuki laughed out loud, and after a farce, Azuki handed the certificate of leaving the village to the two shinobi who guarded the Konoha Gate, and left the Konoha Gate first.

"Sea devils are both fish-like and human-like...... What the hell is this? On the way, Ino read out the mission statement.

"There can't be a monster like this, right?" Naruto said.

Shino also analyzed: "Maybe there are ninjas who use illusions or transformation techniques or something to make those people feel like they have encountered sea devils." ”

"Speaking of which, I remembered that Hyde's subordinates could all turn into monsters, wouldn't they?" Ino pressed his index finger to the corner of his mouth and said, "And their strength is very strong, if it weren't for the sword in that mission, we wouldn't have been able to defeat Hyde and his men." ”

"Hey, it seems like this when you say that, so it means that the other party may still be a ninja?" Naruto said.

Li Jianxing listened to their discussion, and only then did he say: "Okay, no matter what this sea devil looks like, won't we know when we see it?" Let's go and find out the information first, the Sea Country is a country composed of islands, so let's go to the Mother Island in the center of the Sea Country first. ”

"Well, when we get to the vicinity of the Sea Country, then we can find a ship in a suitable port to go to the mother island." Red Bean said, "Let's go!" ”

After a continuous journey, the group finally arrived at the port, from which they could see the land of the sea, and seeing the scene in front of them that seemed to appear in their memory, Red Bean suddenly felt the curse mark on the back of his neck begin to burn. Some of the memories that had been sealed also began to recover, and this feeling made Red Bean gasp for breath and his eyes changed.

Li Jianxing sensed the state of Hongdou at the first moment, he turned his head and just wanted to say something to Hongdou, when he saw Hongdou suddenly said: "I'm sorry everyone, you go and arrange the ship first, I have a little matter, that's it, I'll see you later." ”

Red Bean came to the woods next to him, leaned against a tree, felt the reflection of the curse mark and thought to himself, "The curse mark has a reaction, Orochimaru should be nearby." ”

At this moment, a warm breath suddenly fell on Hongdou's body, making her feel very comfortable, and the pain of the curse mark was gone.

"Are you alright, is the curse sign reacting?" Li Jianxing came to Hongdou's side, held her in his arms despite her objections, and said, "I said that I can help you get rid of the curse mark, you don't have to put such a big burden on yourself." ”

After being silent for a long time, Hongdou shook his head firmly and said, "Give me a little more time, okay?" I'll give you a clear answer after this mission, just let me be willful one last time, and I'll listen to you no matter what. ”

"Then it's decided, but don't hold on, you still have me by your side." Li Jianxing hugged him a little tighter, and when he felt Li Jianxing's breath, Hongdou's heart was also much more settled. After a while, Hongdou stood up and came to the cliff by the sea, facing the sea breeze, she seemed to recall something.

After a long time, after the sun set, Hongdou came back to her senses, looked at Li Jianxing, who was still standing beside her, and said, "Let's go find those little ghosts first, they must be impatient to wait now!" ”

"Hehe, that's what I'm saying, I don't know what nonsense this guy Naruto will say."

Maybe Li Jianxing had some talent for crow's mouth, and when Hongdou and Li Jianxing found the three of them at the dock, they happened to hear Naruto say, "What do you say, don't compare me to that crazy teacher." ”

As soon as Azuki heard it, he knew that Naruto was talking about himself, after all, during the middle ninja exam, Azuki had taught Naruto a lesson, and at this moment, Azuki immediately took out a kunai and put it on Naruto's neck, and then said in Naruto's ear, "Who did you just say?" ”

Red Bean's gloomy tone made Naruto feel excited, and he quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Shino and Ino found a small boat, just enough to sit a few people down, taking advantage of the inconvenience of the night boat, at least the sky makes many fishermen who go out to sea easy to go in the wrong direction, but these are not a problem for ninjas, plus the night is just right, the sea is also very calm, everyone has been walking for more than an hour and has not encountered anything.

At this time, the ship was not far from the mother island of the Sea Country, and it was very inconvenient to advance and retreat, and at this time, everyone suddenly felt the boat shaking violently, and a whirlpool appeared in the direction of the boat. Almost instantly, the Legalists reacted, it should be someone sneaking up,

Naruto and Shino, who were shaking the pulp, wanted to make the boat change direction to avoid the whirlpool, but the oars seemed to be stuck, and at this time, suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from the bottom of the sea to grab Ino, these hands were like One Piece Luffy, it seemed that they could be stretched arbitrarily, at least the length of the arm on the sea that Li Jianxing saw was close to five meters, and Ino instantly took out the kunai and stabbed these two hands.

Li Jianxing said: "It's too close to the whirlpool, you bring your luggage, and we'll get off the boat." ”

When several people heard Li Jianxing say this, they all quickly put their backpacks on the boat on their backs, and then fell on the water, and then, several people saw that the whirlpool on the sea surface swallowed up the boat and disappeared quickly, after all, maintaining this whirlpool also requires a lot of consumption, and Li Jianxing and the others have already left the boat, and this whirlpool has no effect.

"Be careful, everyone, the enemy may attack from underwater!" Red Bean reminded.

As soon as the words fell, suddenly the pair of arms that could be stretched out of the water immediately burst out of the water again, and they were about to wrap around the waist of the red bean.

"Ice Arrow!" Li Jianxing threw an ice arrow and stabbed that arm, and then the ice arrow instantly froze the entire arm that had stretched seven or eight meters.

"I said that you want to approach me like this, do you have my consent?" Li Jianxing said: "And you two guys, don't think that I have no way to take you if you hide under the water!" Ice magic, deep sea frozen! ”
