The country of waves is the most inconspicuous country in the entire ninja world, and there is no one.

It hangs alone in the shallow sea to the east of the Fire Country, there has never been a great man, and there is no famous scenery, even the land is only a few dozen square kilometers, and it is extremely barren, and can only afford to support a few thousand people.

"I originally came to the country of waves with the intention of investing in a warehouse to serve as a transit point for shipping. But I didn't expect that I would actually eat the best seafood meal in my life in this kind of broken place where birds don't poop. ”

On the watchtower of the seaside town of the Land of Fire, shipping tycoon Cardo is explaining the ins and outs of the incident in the Land of Waves.

"Later, I found out that it was about last autumn that the fishermen suddenly discovered that the fish, shrimp and crabs they had caught from the waters north of the country of waves had suddenly become very large in size and unusually fat and tender.

"It's just that they're too poor to have big enough fishing boats to catch fish on a large scale, and they only catch enough fish for their own enjoyment."

Cardo straightened his suit and held his head high, as if he was an entrepreneur with the world in mind.

"But I'm different. The thing I have the most in my hands is the boat. So, in order to lift the people of the country out of poverty, I kindly gave them the old ships that the group was going to send for destruction, and also repaired the bridge for them.

"And the islanders, in gratitude for my generosity, agreed to devote twelve hours a day to my work, that is, fishing. As for me, I am responsible for finding a channel to sell this batch of seafood inland, and the money I earn will be used to subsidize the construction of the island......"

Narusa Sakura and the three of them glanced at the gemstone ring on Cardo's fingers, and just wanted to reveal his true face, but they were stopped by Jiraiya with his eyes, so they had to continue listening patiently.

"However, the good life of the people of the country of waves did not last long, and others set their sights on their fishery resources!"

Cardo threw his fist, and the golden ring slammed into the lighthouse's guardrails with a crisp sound.

"Just half a month ago, two masked men injured my bodyguards and broke into my bedroom, saying that the seafood I was selling was contaminated and that all fishing activities in the country of waves must be stopped. I tried my best to resist, but the situation was stronger than the people, and in the end I could only promise to come down and see what they wanted to do...... I didn't expect ......."

Speaking of this, Cardo's expression became inexplicably sad and indignant, "The next day, they actually directly destroyed all the ships that our company parked nearby, and then took more than a dozen backbones from here to the island. After that, the country of waves became what it looked like in the telescope. Our people will be beaten back when they go; As for the people on the island, they can't get out at all, and no one knows what kind of fame they are doing there!

"As of today, it's been fifteen days! You know that I will lose these fifteen days...... How much income will the people of the country of waves lose? How big a blow is this for a country that is trying to get out of poverty? ”

"Calm down, calm down." Jiraiya comforted insincerely: "Everything will be fine." ”

In the telescope, the featureless country is surrounded by a six-story earthen wall.

Coupled with the sometimes thin and sometimes thick white fog on the sea, the whole island seems to be full of mystery.

"I can't see anything but the wall and the protruding mountains, and the waterfowl in the sky."

Naruto took his eyes off the eyepiece of the telescope, "I can't guess what's going on inside at all." ”

"Speaking of which," Jiraiya stared at Cardo condescendingly, "you weren't in a serious business before, were you?" Is this seafood really so valuable? ”

He can't imagine how much benefit a person who started by breaking the law and committing crimes can suddenly do relatively legal business.

"You're right. Mackerel caught in the country of waves can be sold for 8,000 taels per kilogram in places like Yunokuni, which are also coastal countries, not to mention those inland areas. And ......"

Cardo said proudly, "There are many people who have reacted that eating seafood produced in the country of waves can strengthen the body and prolong life, and even increase the chakra of ninjas, so no matter how much is salvaged every time, it can always be quickly shorted." ”

"No wonder I haven't eaten it." Naruto suddenly realized, no wonder he, a food lover, had never heard of this ingredient: "I can't afford it at all." ”

"But isn't it too to strengthen your body and increase chakra or something......," Sasuke questioned, "The Shikamaru family's health herbs don't dare to say that they can do this." ”

"I'm not bragging, in the beginning, I only had to send thirty or forty thugs a day to supervise the fishermen on the island."

In order to prove the quality of his products, Cardo accidentally exposed part of the truth, "But those fishermen eat their own seafood every day, and their strength rises very fast, and they make people ......

"I mean, they're getting more fish, and I'm going to have to send more people to help them."

"Doesn't this sound like a good fit for us ninjas......" Sakura Haruno rubbed her chin, "Do you have anything fresh here?" ”

"No, as I said before, it's been 15 days since it was out of stock."

Cardo shook his head regretfully.

These people are very edible at first glance. Alas, to make a sum of money again.

"Hey, you said you saw those two people with your own eyes, right?"

On the side, Sasuke saw that the ins and outs of the matter had been sorted out, and began to ask about the things he really cared about.

[I don't call for hey. What a rude little ghost. 】

But Cardo always felt that Sasuke's face seemed to have been seen on the image of a dangerous person in the underworld system, so he subconsciously nodded cooperatively: "But they are all wearing masks and cloaks. ”

"It doesn't matter, the feeling of people is holistic." Naruto pulled out his notebook, "What's your most striking impression of these two people?" ”

"Both of them have baby voices when they speak." Cardo held out a short, fat finger.

"Uh-huh, it's good, it means that the other party is not very old."

[Possibility of being a volunteer classmate +1.]

Sakura encouraged, "What else? ”

Cardo's eyes narrowed, as if he remembered something very unpleasant: "That dwarf speaks very hard. ”

[It won't really be ......]

Sasuke and Naruto looked up at each other.

"He never called me by my name, either by speaking or by calling me a penguin." Cado's face turned blue.

Narusa Sakura and the three of them glanced at Cardo's black suit and white liner and short, stubby figure, and laughter suddenly came to their lips, and they couldn't help it, and their shoulders shook for a long time before they gradually calmed down.

However, this act of giving people a nickname also gave Naruto and Sasuke a definite answer - this dwarf is most likely not Yiyong.

Yi Yong's speech is not very good, but he never deliberately insults people, even if it is as hateful as Orochimaru Danzang and the like, Yi Yong never uses insulting words when mentioning the other party.

Facing Kado's unkind gaze, Sasuke asked another person, "What about the taller one?" ”

"I don't talk much, like a follower-like character."

Cardo thought for a moment, "When I got close to him, he always seemed to be saying something out of his mouth, but he couldn't hear it at all. ”

"Definitely a fake!" This time, even Haruno Sakura joined in unison.

One of the great characteristics of Purgatory Kyojuro is that if he says something, you can probably hear it clearly in the next room.

Muttering + masking + follower, this is the impression that Xingjuro will give people!

[It seems that Tsunade is completely wrong this time......] Jiraiya secretly slandered, [But that's fine, the real adventure is coming.] 】

"What is the real thing?" Cardo was puzzled, and his tone was a little more impatient, "I've said so much, when will you start doing this job?" I'm losing a lot every day, and I still have so many employees and customers waiting for me to open!

"And to be honest, you guys, all of you are unkempt, it's hard to trust when you look at them."

"We just didn't get a good rest after a long drive, so we weren't in good shape."

Sakura crossed her hands on her hips and said with an unconcealable pride in her tone, "Don't look at us as just graduates, but we have the best graduation results among this class of newcomers." ”

It's not like she's just saying it.

Ever since Naruto started reading books and studying with Hinata, his written test scores have been getting better and better; Without the Nine-Tails deliberately interfering with Chakra, the exam of the Three-Body Technique naturally passed with a full score.

Therefore, these three people happen to be the first, second, and third among the graduates this time. And Sakura always thought that this was the reason why the three of them were assigned together.

"What about the best grades?"

Cardo looked disdainful, raised his eyebrows above his sunglasses, and casually lit a cigar and smoked it.

"Have you ever heard of a misty ninja named Momochi Forever?"

Naruto Sakura-Sasuke exchanged glances with each other, then shook his head neatly.

"I'm also a ninja, and I don't even know about the fog hidden ghosts, and I'm too lonely and unheard."

Cardo only felt that this greasy uncle's team with three imps was even more unreliable: "According to the Taoist, the year that guy graduated from school, he killed all the candidates in the same period by himself!"

"How do you compare to your graduation grades? But even he couldn't get rid of the two bastards on the island......"

"And that kind of thing?" Jiraiya twitched his eyebrows.

"Hmph, that guy looks fierce and vicious, and he speaks confidently, and promises me that he will bring back the heads of those two guys in less than a day."

Cardo will blow a large smoke ring, "and within two hours of being on the bridge, he fled back with two unconscious men."

"That's what that guy told me that if you want to deal with that group of people on the island, it's best to issue a commission to Konoha, but I didn't expect that a few of you came......

"Tsk, if I knew that this was the result, I would have spent a little more money to log in to the S-level mission."

"Taodi can't be solved if you don't cut it, and it's really more appropriate to log in to an S-class task."

Jilai also spoke: "But since my subordinates are all newcomers, and their reputation hasn't been beaten yet, there's nothing wrong with treating this as an A-level task."

So, although it took a little more thought, they decided to take on the task. Sign the formalities now, Boss Cardo. ”

"What do you mean 'they' have decided to go next?"

Cardo, who usually likes to play tricks on contracts, grabbed the key word, "What about you?" I didn't spend my 500,000 on this little ghost. ”

"You're so stingy, you can't afford to hire me. This time, I will only be responsible for evaluating their performance, and I will not be involved in specific tasks. ”

Jiraiya shook his head, and then looked at the three of Naruto Sakura who were a little surprised: "I've heard of Momochi not beheading that person again, it's a typical example of the ability to compete in fame." said that it was the substitute ninja sword seven, but after so many years, he had no intention of being promoted.

"I have a lot of confidence in you, and I think the three of you are better than him combined, and since even he can come out of the country of waves alive, even if you fail, there shouldn't be much of a problem for you. How, are you okay with that? ”

"Who will fail, just two impostors."

Sasuke, who was sure that the Ending Valley incident was the work of Righteous Bravery, was convinced of this, "When the real Yoshiyo fought Kyojuro, we were carefully observing it every day! ”

"Since we want to find out their identities and the origin of their masks, it is necessary to go to the island." Naruto nodded as well, "Besides, the people on the island haven't been able to go to sea for so long, and they don't know what to eat, so they can't leave it alone anyway." ”

Sakura also nodded: "It's too pitiful for those people to be locked up." ”

"In that case, from now on, I'm just an outsider who comes for sightseeing."

Jiraiya laughed, "How you arrange it next, it's all up to you!" ”

After saying that, he jumped down from the watchtower, and a few dodges were drowned in the sound of warblers and swallows in the entertainment area.

"Hey, you-" Cardo was dumbfounded, and stared back at Narusa Sakura suspiciously, "You three, have you figured out how to get to the island?" Walking from the bridge, you are sure to be discovered. ”

"What about discovery?"

Sasuke stared at the bridge that seemed to have no end in sight, "I'm going to see what kind of character it is, and if it's worthy of those two replica masks!" ”

The young man was high-spirited, looking at the sea, his black hair fluttered violently in the wind, and he was originally very handsome.

Sakura Haruno was just about to ask Sasuke to borrow a camera to film this scene, when suddenly a piece of bird poop fell from the sky and landed on Sasuke's shoulder.

After Sasuke was stunned for two or three seconds, he looked up at the spire of the watchtower with an angry face—

A raven with long eyelashes was staring at him with a condescending and disgusting look, and then let out a sarcastic laugh and flapped its wings away.

"Abominable !!"

Sasuke pulled out a coin, straightened his arm and shook it at the strange bird, and a strong purple arc of electricity instantly gushed out from his index finger and thumb.

Before he could launch the coin, however, the crow burrowed into the low-hanging clouds faster than a swift, and a few dodges were gone.

The bridge was 30 kilometers long, and the crow flew to the end in less than ten minutes, and then she circled a few times and plunged headlong into the highest mountain in the country of waves.

On the top of the mountain, a man in a thick cloak sits cross-legged in the sun, plucking a gray rosary made of stone, while bowing his head and reciting scriptures.

"If I heard it, for a while the Buddha was in the raft city, and the Buddha was in the house. and the great bhikkhus, one thousand two hundred and fifty people. All of them are great arhats without leakage......"

Although his voice is much more powerful than Sasuke Naruto, it still does not get out of the category of children.

"It's silver."

After the crow fell, the person who was chanting immediately stopped and took the initiative to say, "Muichiro took the blood sample and went to the Wet Bone Forest to find Miss Shinobi." Is something wrong? ”

"Yes!" The crow named Silver cleared his throat, "There are three ninjas who don't know the height of the sky, and they are about to come to the island.

"They took the penguin's task to drive you away. The most rampant of them all, looks like Lord Shuizhu, and has a similar name! ”

"The younger brother of the righteous seniors?"

The broad figure stood up with his palms together, "But Miss Shinobu said that as long as you are a ninja, you can't be trusted." ”

The tall boy changed the rhythm of his breathing, and after making a mark, he actually directly knocked his muscular arm into the mountain rock on the side, and pulled out a huge stone stick as tall as an adult from the rough fragments.

"So, I'm going to get rid of them.

"Don't risk letting them know the truth here!"
