Chapter 368: Searching
Sixty-five years of Konoha is the world more than three years later.
Because the Konoha ninja who came here from the "future" returned to his own time and space, and he was still in the current Baiyun Yeshan and Shiro and others, so naturally he didn't know anything.
Taro Urashima 500 years ago, if he didn't dare to believe it all, then the future "Konoha compatriots" who came here really broke through the psychological defense of the ninjas present.
"What does the future look like? Did they say anything big happened in the ninja world?"
Baiyun Yeshan, who was much more mature, forcibly took his shocked thoughts and asked in a low tone,
"And their identities, what do you call them?"
"Are you sure you want to know?"
At this moment, Shiranui had a slightly playful expression, which made Baiyun Yeshan hesitate a little, hesitated again and again, and when he was about to make a decision, Bai pulled the cuffs of the leading teacher.
"We don't want to know!"
"White! Why?"
"Prophecy, prophecy! Teacher, do you remember what he said earlier? Prophecy affects time and space, and if we know what the future holds, is it also a fruitful prophecy? In that case, will we be able to go back?"
"This ......"
After sorting out the cause and effect relationship, Baiyun Yeshan also reacted,
"Indeed, we can't know, otherwise, we can't go back."
"This little brother reacts very quickly! Prophecy can be said to be the one with the greatest side effects of all forbidden techniques, and once it encounters what you are experiencing now, it is simply a lifeless ending. Is the destiny of Heaven to be spied upon at will?"
"Thanks for the reminder!"
Baiyun Yeshan calmed down a little and sat down again,
"I was careless, I brought you here, and I must go back without landing on the ground."
Shiranui seemed to have expected everyone's reaction when he saw it, and said happily:
"Don't be so nervous, as long as you don't take the initiative to explore, or I tell you clearly, some things, even if you guess, are still in the ambiguous stage, and the impact is not very great."
Even so, the people of Konoha Village didn't want to joke with their lives, and they didn't mean to continue to ask at all.
"If it's convenient, can you tell me about the reality of this place? Especially about the mermaid and Ryugu Castle!"
After all, the four of them are burdened with entrusted tasks, and no matter how magical the encounters are, they must consider successfully ending the mission.
The impact of a task failure record is still not small, and the early stage will greatly reduce the task success rate of the three students, and then affect their comprehensive evaluation.
Bai Yunye Mountain, as the leading teacher, of course had to think about the future of his students, so he couldn't help but ask patiently.
"Locally, it's been like this since I was born, except that the population has increased a little, and it doesn't seem to have changed much. As for the mermaid......
Shiranui sorted out the wording for a while, and then continued to explain,
"To be sure, merfolk are also humans, but for unknown reasons, they live in the water, no different from other mutant orcs, subspecies of special blood. It is rumored that they are the descendants of sinners who were cursed by the gods, and because they disobeyed the laws of the gods, they became half-human, half-fish; Others say that they are descendants of gods who have inherited noble bloodlines, and that they have hidden great power in them, and when the stars return to their thrones, they will return to the world and dominate the earth, the sea, and the sky."
"Does it have anything to do with God? Which of the "gods" is it referring to?"
"I don't know! Those mermaids and the water tribes of Ryugu City, some worship the goddess of Suqiujin, some worship the goddess of Mao, and even worship some wild gods who can't be named, Mao God, of course, the water god and "ghosts" are the most common."
"Ghosts?"
The three students really didn't know what the term meant.
Baiyun Yeshan explained:
"The goddess of U is a ghost, and according to legend, she was tempted by evil forces and degenerated into a "ghost" who does all kinds of evil, and then she was killed
The Six Immortals defeated the Seal."
"This ...... Shangnin, the knowledge is really extraordinary, such ancient myths and legends, few people know about them."
"I also accidentally saw a few words in ancient books, and I don't know if it's true."
"It's pretty much the same!"
I didn't know that I didn't correct my mistakes or give a clear answer.
"In short, the aquatic tribes, including the mermaids, and those orcs with bad tempers, we collectively call them sub-human races, some deep hybrids, are no different from ordinary people, they have the same joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and the same birth, old age, sickness and death, but children with strong blood will gain some magical powers and become stronger after being stimulated."
"Blood Limit?"
The mayor's statement is really too much in line with the ninja world's description of the blood inheritance limit.
Could it be that the so-called mermaids and the aborigines of Dragon Palace City are all people with the qualifications of high-intensity blood inheritance limit?
That's too much of an exaggeration!
"Is that how you describe this power that lurks in your blood?"
Shiranui asked a little curiously when he saw it,
"There are a lot of people out there?"
"No! Very little!"
Baiyun Yeshan replied very calmly,
"Whether it's the same, I haven't seen it, I don't know!"
"That...... Do you have the Bloodline Limit?"
Shiro and his companion looked at each other, then raised their palms and shook their hands, and in an instant, a floating block of ice appeared.
"Bing Dun, it's different from the last time I saw it! That's what it looks like!"
The Konoha ninjas looked at each other, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.
Shiranui exclaimed a few times when he saw "Tut-tut", then stood up easily and pushed open the window behind him, so that everyone could see a corner of the distant coastline in the gap between the mountains.
"I can't say what the situation is over there now, our Zuodu Island has very little contact with the outside world, and Dragon Palace City and the mermaids go out from time to time to interact with humans on the mainland. The seabed is vast, and there are beautiful corals and precious ores, which can be exchanged for a large amount of daily necessities as long as they are transported there."
"Dealings?"
"How fresh! If they don't interact with each other, where can they exchange for daily necessities, and relying on the output of Zuodu Island alone is not enough for Longgong City to plug the teeth."
"Is there a lot of people there?"
"It's not a big deal."
Shiranui smiled at the sight,
"Let's just say that as long as they want, they can dispatch tens of thousands of heavily armed water warriors at any time, and mobilize more people, it will take a little time."
"That...... Isn't it ......?"
Baiyun Yeshan was stunned.
The mobilization of the five major ninja villages, the ninjas who can sign signs on the battlefield, are only twenty or thirty thousand, how can a race that has never been heard of suddenly appear to be able to pull up such a large team?
"Don't worry, they don't have time to take care of you, there are endless internal fights, and they can't spare their hands at all, besides, it's not very convenient to get in and out of here."
"Infighting!"
Baiyun Yeshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's not all! Have you ever seen a crocodile in the water and a tiger in the mountains and forests grabbing territory? They may be separated when they meet, but they rarely don't die."
"That's just as well!"
Baiyun Yeshan and others, there are too many things encountered today.
Several people discussed it intermittently for a long time, after the sun set, the sky gradually darkened, and under the hospitality of the mayor, the four people of Konoha Village found a place to live, and decided to explore the truth again, and went to find the legendary Dragon Palace City.
In the middle of the night, the moon and stars were sparse, and the villages and towns were quiet, and there was not even the barking of dogs from time to time.
On a whim, Baiyun Yeshan got up and walked outside the house, and saw Bai standing on the top of a big tree looking at the night sky with white mist.
"What, can't you sleep? Don't worry, I'll bring you home safely! I've been in more dangerous situations before."
「
That's not what I'm worried about, Mr. Hayama! I...... It's just a little weird."
"Strange what? If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what can you see by looking at the stars?"
"If you look at the stars, you can really see a little!"
Bai Wei nodded imperceptibly and explained,
"The Konoha Village Ninja School, there is no astronomical calendar and ninja geography courses, although it is mentioned, but it is not deeply involved. There is corresponding knowledge in the aristocratic school of the Gusugi family and in the textbooks of the universal university."
"You've ever gone to private school? I remember that your parents were also ordinary people who migrated from the Land of Water, right?"
"Yes! However, I have seen books in the family library in my spare time, so I know a little bit about them."
"Okay! Do you see anything?"
These problems in the field of blind spots in his own knowledge, Baiyun Yeshan does not understand at all.
"Looking at the astrological signs, you can actually roughly judge the time of appearance and where we are. This Zuodu Island, depending on the season, should be similar to when we were in the country of waves, the location, roughly in the southeast of the country of vortex, the country of water is due west, and the country of the sea is in the northwest direction. However, on the public map, this is the vast sea, and there are no islands to settle on."
"In other words, we were still in the original plane, and we were suddenly sent to this strange place?"
"It shouldn't be too far off!"
Shiro responded with uncertainty,
"Ninja world, is there such a place? A mystery that doesn't exist on the surface, but is hidden?"
"Of course!"
Baiyun Yeshan approached, looked at Bai's young and handsome face and replied,
"Originally, you won't know until you grow up. The ninja world,In fact, it is not a "flat" realm.,There are some places that are fenced.,For example,Miaomu Mountain,Wet Bone Forest,Dragon Cave, etc.,One of the "Three Ninjas"-raiya-sama,In the early years, he accidentally strayed into Myoki Mountain.,Sign a psychic contract with the psychic beasts there.,Become a famous toad immortal.。 Here, it is very likely that it is also a similar place, but it is much more troublesome than the place occupied by those powerful psychic beast races. And ......"
After a pause, Bai Yunye Mountain added,
"Not only that, some psychic beasts are located in other places that are not affiliated with the ninja world at all, and occasionally there are creatures from the other world that break into the ninja world, some of them have good intentions, and some of them intend to harm the ninja world."
"There are so many magical places in this world that we don't know about!"
Bai nodded clearly,
"Mr. Hayama, what do you think of the existence of the Mermaid Clan and Ryugu Castle?"
"A group of poor people whose blood inheritance limit is out of control, causing their bodies to be mutated and cannot be recovered! Most of them are victims of the development of ninjutsu......
"However, now that they are self-contained and have an independent worldview and value system, will they pose a threat to the ninja world?"
"Maybe! That's not something we should worry about! Hurry up and investigate clearly, and then go back to hand in the mission, and as for how to deal with it in the future, just leave it to Hokage-sama to worry about."
"Hmm!"
There were other words that Shiro didn't say.
In the entire east coast, and even in the sea area of the entire ninja world, the Gushan family has an absolute advantage, and can deal with the huge mermaid clan, conduct trade, and hide this matter impenetrable, except for them, there is no second force.
The more I learned about the behemoth of Gusugi, the more I was afraid of it.
The strength that has been shown so far is already very exaggerated.
If the Gusugi family still has thousands of mermaids in their hands and dominates the entire ocean, then they can basically be regarded as the uncrowned king of the ninja world.
Unless the entire ninja world joins forces to fight, otherwise, the strength of one family alone, even Konoha Village, will not be enough to subvert the strong position of the Gushan family.
Thinking about it like this, is it really just a coincidence that the four of them broke into this place?
Or is it true that the Gushan family doesn't know anything?
Speculation and worries for no reason, Shiro will not speak.
From his standpoint, it is not possible to talk about the die-hard loyalists of Konoha Village, in comparison, the favor of the Fusugi family is obviously heavier.
Without a special reason, it is impossible for Shiro to do something that threatens the Furusugi family.
Even if there is any secret, since no one tells you, it means that there is no need to know, and there is no need to overestimate the dangers in the process.
Temporarily calm the mind of the white, and the white cloud leaves the mountain returns.
-----------------
Early the next morning, under the introduction of the mayor Shiranui, the four people of Konoha Village rented a small wooden boat, and under the leadership of the guide sailor, rowed out to sea, heading towards the legendary mermaid haunt.
[In view of the general environment,
It took nearly half an hour, and the sun gradually brightened, dispelling the morning fog on the sea, and came to a reef-covered water.
"Is this it?"
"That's right! According to the mayor, this is the sea."
The guide replied with great certainty,
"I've completed the task, do you want to go down or not, you can do it!"
"Can't you go any further?"
"There's no point in going on, no matter which direction you rush in, you'll lose your way and go in circles unless you return."
"Let's see!"
Baiyun Yeshan, with three students, jumped up and landed lightly on the water, observing the wind direction and water flow here.
On the surface, it looks like a coral reef, and through the crystal clear waters, you can see brightly colored fish shuttling through it.
Although it is beautiful, it seems that there is something wrong to say that this is Ryugu Castle.
A few people surveyed the neighborhood for a while, and also took samples of a few coral reefs that were outcropping, ready to take them back for testing to see if there was anything special.
When he was at a loss, a shadow suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and it seemed that a behemoth was rising from the bottom of the sea.
