Seiki Ueda is a well-known fishing expert in the town of Hornfish, and as long as he is on the boat, he rarely returns empty. And he is enthusiastic, often helping the lonely widows and children in the town, and his reputation is on par with the mayor of the town, Araki Shinyi, if you want to call on everyone to do something, let him stand up with Araki Shinyi, there must be more people who respond to him.

But this warm-hearted man is more impulsive, always acting according to his preferences, and with the help of righteousness and squandering money, his family is not as good as the middle-sized family in Hornfish Town.

There are monsters on the sea, many people can hardly open the pot at home, and he has to help the young and strong families who died from monsters, and he has to find a way to solve everyone's financial resources, which makes him even more anxious. Half a month ago, Ueda Seiki avoided everyone and secretly went to sea, and came back after a few trips to alleviate the ration crisis in many people's homes. But how many fish could he hold in a boat, and soon there was no food, a few children were hungry, the adults of their family died in the shipwreck, and the old man and the woman went into the mountains to look for food but were injured by poison, which not only did not solve the crisis but made the situation more dangerous.

Therefore, even if he heard that the Konoha ninja had already come here, Ueda Seiji couldn't wait to go out to sea to fish - who knows if this so-called ninja has the ability to deal with monsters, if he can't solve it, it will not only delay time, but also delay several lives in the town.

But he never expected that the sea monster that he had not encountered several times would appear in his eyes this time, and the white waves that broke through the sea in the distance approached quickly, like an invisible blade with a handle against the sky and a blade on the ground, rushing towards the boat he was riding with an unstoppable momentum.

The monster's body was huge, and although it was a danger to break through the waves dozens of meters high splashed by the sea, it was not as good as the vortex that appeared on the surface of the sea after the sea monster passed, which was a deep blue terror that could suck people into the bottom of the sea.

"Quick, quick, turn around!!" Ueda Seiki shouted to his companions standing on the rudder that if they were hit by a monster in their current position, the whole ship would be shattered, and when they fell into the sea, they would not even have a chance to hold on to driftwood, and since they could no longer avoid it, they could only meet the impact from the most advantageous angle.

Unfortunately, they couldn't wait to turn, and the monster appeared a hundred meters away.

More than 30 meters high, 50 meters wide, regardless of the length, according to the modern façade room height of three meters and width of six meters, this head is equivalent to eighty façade rooms stacked together in a ten-by-eight posture to rush towards you.

Ueda Seiji's eyes were split, at such a close distance, he should be able to see the monster clearly, but because this guy was too fast, a large amount of seawater shattered on the front body surface turned into droplet bubbles and blocked the outside, resulting in only the shadow behind the water curtain.

Before the monster could get closer, the oncoming air pressure tilted the fishing boat, and he and the other two people on the boat left the deck with their feet as if they had been blown into the sky by a typhoon above level 4.

"It's over!" Ueda Seiji's mind was dead.

However, when he came back to his senses, he found that he was not falling in the air, and the thing in front of him was receding at a rapid speed.

The mid-air was littered with a jumble of wood chips, and the hull of the ship was disformed in an instant, and most of it was crushed below the surface of the sea.

"Boom!"

The eardrum of the huge explosion stinged, and when the sword shadow fell to the sea, he ran forward with all his might, and he had to get out of this area as soon as possible, and if he was hit by a wave of this height, it would be no less than a frontal attack by a C-level or higher water escape.

Compared with B-level ninjutsu, it is a little worse in terms of cohesion, but in terms of the scope of the impact, it is far exceeded.

"Hell, isn't it just a giant shark? How do you do it like a head-tailed beast. ”

Compared with psychic beasts, the destructive power of tailed beasts is the largest in ninja cognition, and the number of psychic beasts that can be compared with the strength of tailed beasts is very small, except for the summoned beasts of the three holy places, there are few existences that can compete with tailed beasts.

The monster that the people of Hornfish Town saw was a shark, but it was huge, and for now, at least, Sword Shadow didn't know what to do with it.

Avoiding the crashing waves, Yanagi Sword Shadow held two people in his hands, and his eyes moved to the giant monster in the distance. "It's fast, but why should it deal with fishermen?"

The attack just now was a worry for the lives of the fishermen, because the vast majority of the fishermen who were attacked by the monster died, and even those who survived did not see the appearance of the monster clearly, so they couldn't judge it for a while, and now the sword shadow can be sure that the monster did not feed on the villagers. If this guy wasn't for food, then why was he attacking a fishing boat? "Is it because the fishermen catch too much fish that they are retaliating?"

Jian Ying thought of the section of the Dragon King of Jinghe in Journey to the West, and was full of desire to complain, so he immediately put it aside and thought about it seriously.

"Did the fishermen in town offend this monster?" Jian Ying remembered the fierce mouth of the giant shark, and bit down on the fishing boat with that steel tooth, and the people on the boat were absolutely lifeless, but it only raised its speed to hit the fishing boat, but due to its huge size, the speed was too fast, causing the fishermen who had fallen into the water before to be swept into the vortex and drowned.

Ueda Seiki was shocked, and although his face was not good-looking, the other person who was carrying the sword shadow was much better. "This ...... Is that the monster? ”

Sword Shadow rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that it's anyone." Didn't I tell you to wait a few more days? It's good to have a big life, otherwise... Hum. ”

Ueda Seiji was full of complaints about his words, but now he couldn't speak, and his companion had long been so frightened that his face was pale and he couldn't speak.

"Nagata, do you have the confidence to slow down that guy?" Looking at the shark in the distance, Kenkage asked Akido Nagata, who was carrying a fisherman in his hand.

The Autumn Dao family's multiplication technique can become as big as the tailed beast when it is cultivated to the highest realm, but it is not something that the current Nagata can do, but the sword shadow just wants to slow it down, and this shark is like a cavalryman who lifts up speed, and no one can resist it. But as long as it slows down, Sword Shadow is confident that it can deal with it, as long as this thing doesn't admit death, it should leave after a few times of wrestling with it.

Nagata smiled bitterly: "I look up to me too much!" ”

Sword Shadow laughed and said, "I knew you were reliable. ”

Nagata shook his head in annoyance, but he didn't refuse, and to be honest, he wanted to see if his strength could slow down the speed of that thing.

Jian Ying no longer cares about whether he can complete the task or not, judging from the scene just now, this is definitely not a C-level task. The size of this thing can be compared with the psychic beast of the three ninjas, and the middle of the sea is its home field, and its strength and destructive power are probably even more powerful. This kind of thing, even if a middle ninja team comes over, I am afraid that it will not be able to deal with it.

There is no news about this monster in the original book, and it is not known if it met Orochimaru's men or if it left on its own, but either way, it would be a disaster for the townspeople.

"Let's go to the boat, they should be there soon." The strength of the two is huge, but it is inconvenient to carry people in their hands after all, just like the same heavy object, after evenly distributing the load on the body and directly on the shoulder, the feeling is bound to be different.

Yanagi Kenkage thinks about how to deal with the shark, and does not have the arrogance to think that he can kill it, only considers the method of maneuvering; Nagata is calculating how to slow down the opponent and make sure that he doesn't get too seriously hurt while achieving this goal.

After boarding the boat, Huangang drove the boat back to the town and did not linger in the sea. The speed of the giant shark cannot wander too much in the same place, and besides, it also needs to eat food, and the huge size of the shark must be a lot of food to sustain its life. There is also a place where Sword Shadow feels strange, as a place that is often infested by humans, fishery resources must not be abundant, so why does it have to stay in this sea area under such conditions?

Back inside the house, Yagyu Kenkage sat down with his companions, and the three of them discussed solutions to the problems they were currently experiencing.

"Let's inform the village first! How can we deal with that kind of thing? "Mitsuki Aoi has a pertinent suggestion, she plans to learn to tread trees from tomorrow and then learn to tread water later, but she knows that she is not capable of getting involved in this kind of fight, whether she learns to tread water or not. Although the strength of her companions is very strong, after listening to the description of the size of the giant shark by the two, she feels that this kind of thing can only be solved by the upper ninja.

Theoretically, Mitsuki Aoika's suggestion is the most correct, but it's a pity that the three of them are all shinobi, and the assigned tasks are still C-level, and there is no way to contact the village in an emergency.

If the instructor Mike Kay was still there, let's not talk about whether we can solve the trouble caused by the giant shark, it would be much easier to contact the village, but now there is no way.

Two days was enough time for her to learn about the town of Hornfish, which was located in the tropics and densely vegetated, but because of an alien weed brought with her during the reign of Sonobi, the otherwise fertile land was difficult to cultivate for crops. That kind of weed is a little poisonous, toxins can accumulate in the body, many people raise livestock do not dare to release them, because they are afraid that the livestock will go outside to eat grass everywhere and be poisoned by this kind of thing.

This weed has well-developed rhizomes and strong fertilizer absorption ability, and farmers must work tirelessly to pull out these weeds after each ploughing. Because they can't survive in the shadows, they don't have to worry about them as long as the crops grow, but because their existence consumes a lot of energy from the peasants, the annual grain production of this land is not as good as that of the arable land in the land country.

Kenkage has a familiar sense of this grass, which in the 21st century has been brought around the world by airplanes and has had a great impact on local plants. It is just as toxic, but the weeds here are more toxic than the two.

"To deal with this kind of thing, unless someone similar to the Taizu of the Celestial Empire stands up and exterminates the snail like calling on everyone to exterminate the bloodsucking worm to deal with this kind of weed, the form on the peninsula is still worrying."

Although the Fire Country also occupies a third of the land on the crescent-shaped peninsula, it has not had much impact because the entire ninja continent is sparsely populated and there are only a few towns here.

In such a harsh environment, if it weren't for the neighbors of the Fire Country, I am afraid that they would not want to come and manage it.

"Let's talk about that. If we don't go back after a while, I'm afraid Mr. Kai will come out to look for us. And it's a rare opportunity, and I'd like to meet that shark for a while. ”

Nagata was as silent as ever, which showed that his decision was the same as Kenkage's, and he was willing to fight the giant shark.

But Aoi Xiang hoped that Nagata could express her support for herself, and she could hear it carefully, even if Kenkage didn't have the confidence to defeat that kind of monster, even if she added Akido Nagata, she didn't understand why she was fighting with that giant shark at sea when she knew that she was invincible, even if the ultimate goal was to drive it away, it was not an easy task.

Nagata was helpless by her, so he could only reply, "I support the idea of Sword Shadow." Don't be in a hurry to listen to me - we are ninjas after all, and we will definitely encounter enemies that we can't solve in the future, and we won't be able to find companions around at that time. What to do? Abandoning a mission? Maybe this task is related to the life and death of the vast majority of people on another battlefield, but Mr. Ming said a lot of such examples in class, and this is the situation we are encountering now. ”

Jian Ying also spoke at this time, as a member of the fourth class, he hoped that Tsutsuki Aoi could really grow up, even if her attack power was weak, she could also learn medical ninjutsu, which happened to be what he called profound.

"We can retreat and wait for reinforcements from the village, but the townspeople here don't have time. You and I both know that their food can't last for a few days, and it's a blessing to be able to survive two months, and if they continue to consume like this, a large number of people will die. We're still watching then? I'm afraid there is no hope, and we can't stand it, so instead of making a move at that time, we might as well make a decision: directly fight the giant shark, or, leave Hornfish Town. ”

Even if Aoi Xiang doesn't want to fight the giant shark, she won't approve of leaving at this time, not to mention that she can't bear it from the bottom of her heart, even for the sake of Konoha's reputation. Once he leaves, even if Hokage-sama doesn't pursue it, a group of people from the village will come to ask for the crime.

"yes. Since you don't have a choice, why don't you just do it, okay, don't worry, although the strength of me and Nagata is not as good as that of Mr. Kai, but we are not fighting with the giant shark, it's always okay to be careful. Sword Shadow smiled and comforted.

Over the next few days, Kenkage and Nagata boarded a fishing boat and followed the fishermen out to sea.

There are fewer and fewer boats that can be used in the town, and in the past, you could sneak out to fish to get food, but now you are almost out of food, Ueda Seiji was scared enough yesterday, but today he took his companions to Jida's boat, and took the gap between looking for monsters to see if there was a chance to catch some fish.

"People die for money, birds die for food, it's true, but ah, people are forced to have no way to stutter and eat, or they have to work hard." This feeling is even more pronounced in the new century, when the rapid depreciation of the currency shifts the wealth of the people into the hands of the state, and in order to maintain the standard of living, people have to work harder to earn money.

That kind of environment can easily make some of them resentful, even if they know that their lives are many times better than those living in the war-torn areas of Africa, but what people are most afraid of is comparison, and they don't need to compare with people who are so far away, just comparing with the people around them is enough to make people feel upset.

One is for life, the other is for survival, and the goals of living in society are different, so it is natural that there will be different eyes on society.

For the people of Hornfish Town, it is a good year to have food to eat and not to die, and as for the death of being sick and bedridden, it is inevitable. How can such a standard be put into the modern life of Jian Ying, he remembers very clearly, when he was in college, he and a classmate passed by a small store, where several people were watching the anti-Japanese war TV series, he looked at the scene of the guerrillas dodging bullets and said, "This is too fake, if I had surrendered a long time ago, who is really not afraid of death."

No one is not afraid of death, but when people can only choose their own way of death, no matter how cowardly they are, they will summon up that little will to survive.

Isn't Seiki Ueda not afraid of death? Sword Shadow thought back to his pale as paper face yesterday, and there was no doubt that he was no different from ordinary people. But even so, he insisted on getting on the boat, and the others were the same, not confident that Sword Shadow would defeat the monster, but that they could only do it.
