The waves were gusting, and the endless darkness was enveloped.

Most of the time, she's quiet, only occasionally doing something a little out of the ordinary. Seeing that Naruto was silent, Sakura didn't continue to speak, turning her head to look at the silent sea and not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long moment, Naruto broke the silence with a light cough. His voice was deliberately low, like a ghost floating on the sea at night.

"Compared to Sakura," Naruto said, "I like you better. ”

He had momentary thoughts, but he had always told the truth. Compared to the previous Sakura, he prefers the current Sakura, and obedience is only one aspect.

Naruto, on the other hand, liked Sakura's character very much. Aside from sharing a body, he still prefers the current Sakura.

"Really?" Sakura's whole body overturned.

"Yes."

Sakura smiled and wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck in the dark, hugging her tightly.

It's dawning.

Red Bean yawned and finished the last night, and after washing up slightly, he shrank under the umbrella and began to rest, staring at it by Fenghua Xiaoxue in the morning.

Thanks to Naruto, major problems such as food and clothing for several people can be solved. But now the fate of several people is still tied to the raft under them, floating around.

Now the only hope for a few people is to meet land, or passing ships, even if it is an isolated island.

In the first few days together, Sakura didn't seem to shy away from Naruto from beginning to end. Whether it's changing clothes or doing something else, even if he sometimes makes eye contact with Naruto, he is unusually calm.

Red beans and wind flowers and light snow are still a little difficult to let go of in some aspects. After all, there is a yellow-haired squatting there, rounded up to the opposite sex.

But after three days of drifting, the two women completely let go. It rained at noon, and a few people took a shower, and it was unknown how long they would live, but they were honest.

There were fewer and fewer words between several people, and most of the time they staggered their time to rest, one staring at the surface of the sea and the other three resting.

But a person can rest for about a third of the day, and now he spends three-quarters of his time resting. Although you don't need a vigil at night, you can rest enough.

On the fourth day of drifting at sea, several people were in good spirits. In the morning, it rained again, and several people huddled under umbrellas, and when the rain stopped, they began to fish with fishing gear.

Naruto didn't get his hands dirty fishing, as there was no shortage of food for the time being. He curled up under his umbrella and snoozed, occasionally opening his eyes to scan the endless sea.

Passing the three women, each of them sat in different places with a fishing rod, just to pass the time with fishing. Occasionally, there will be a time when the fish is crushed, always accompanied by a cry of surprise.

"Hooked!" Kazeka Koyuki hurriedly went to pull the line, the whole person was dressed in cool clothes and stood up suddenly, Naruto had long been surprised, and after a glance, he didn't look at it again.

Red Bean disposed of all the fish, collected the blood and internal organs in a bag, and threw it in the distant sea.

Naruto's sealing space has iron pots, spices, and even several large boxes of fuel. In this depressing moment, it made the third girl have a sense of relaxation in her heart.

The fire lit up on the raft, and I watched the fish crackle. Fortunately, it was daytime, so it didn't attract anything dangerous, and the water was still calm.

Naruto snorted, glanced at the fish that were already golden on both sides, and said casually.

"That's just a few?"

Azuki frowned, looked at Naruto dissatisfied, and said.

"You're amazing, how many can you catch?"

"My words?" Naruto crouched to the side and glanced at the three fishing rods placed aside, "It won't take more than a minute to catch five fish." ”

"What?" The corners of Hongdou's mouth twitched slightly, "Although we are at sea now, and the future is worrying, but it's only been a few days, and it's been crazy like this?" ”

"I'm not kidding." Naruto said solemnly, "Just ask Sakura." ”

Azuki looked at Sakura, who was serving the fish, and didn't say anything, just nodded perfunctorily.

"Impossible!" "If you can catch five fish in one minute, I'll eat them raw!" Leave none of them, eat them all raw! ”

Naruto glanced at Azuki Bean with a complicated gaze, "Unexpectedly, you still have this hobby?" ”

After a moment of thought, Naruto pulled out two new spare fishing rods from the sealed space. This is a fourth-generation spare version of his spare rod.

Azuki watched as Naruto launched all five fishing rods into the water at the same time, Nima didn't hang the bait, and after three seconds, all five rods reacted.

Looking at the five fish popping on the raft, Hongdou's eyes widened, and he only felt that his face was crackling. Fortunately, Naruto didn't let the red beans eat raw, and calmly threw the fish into the bucket one by one.

"You wouldn't have developed ninjutsu for the sake of fishing, would you?" Red Bean still couldn't help but ask.

"How is that possible?" Naruto recycled the fishing rod one by one, "This is a talent that can't be learned, ninjutsu is just a hobby, and fishing is the main business." ”

At night, the last fish was eaten.

In the dark, Red Bean suddenly spoke.

"Wait another five days, forget it if you can't wait."

"What's the matter?" Naruto was frightened and quickly got up, "You think twice, you're leading the team to shinobi, damn it!" Don't give up so quickly, can't you insist on persevering? ”

"I'm not going to give up." Red Bean said.

Hearing this, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, he had almost scared him out of the spirit. Although I have been floating on this sea for almost five days, the living environment is not too bad.

The heart says that there is food and drink, so that it will not break down so quickly.

"Then you are."

"If you don't see any hope for five days, you have to try to call for help." Red Bean said, "Even if it may be the guy who alarmed Orochimaru, it can be transmitted except for spiritism. ”

"Spiritism? I will too. Naruto said with hindsight.

"What are you psychics?" Red Bean hesitated for a moment.

"Slugs."

Azuki was silent, and she turned her head to look at the endless night of the sea, and then slammed down Naruto. pinched his neck, didn't use any force, just shook as if venting, gritted his teeth and said.

"You're damned! Naruto Uzumaki! Psychic slug-sama, why didn't you say it earlier! ”

"Ahem! You didn't ask! Naruto screamed with a stiff neck.

"Who knew you could psychic slurt-sama!" Azuki let go of Naruto, took a long breath, forcibly calmed down, and said, "Forget it, you can try it first." ”

"Okay." Naruto responded, but there wasn't much of an emotional swing on his face.

Sakura and Kazeka Koyuki watched from the sidelines, not knowing what the two were talking about. But as you may know, Azuki and Naruto seem to have found a new way out of their predicament.

With a bang, Naruto channeled a portion of the slugs with a small amount of chakra. A slug the size of a soccer ball appeared on the raft, stunned for a moment, and then shouted.

"Naruto-sama."

Naruto and Azuki were stunned at the same time, and Naruto looked at the slug in disbelief, even though only one silhouette could be seen in the darkness. How did you become an adult? Does this mean that it is approved?

How is this different from what Tsunade said, obviously he was already planning to call Lord Slug, who knew that the reversal would come unexpectedly.

But now was not the time to dwell on these small details, and Azuki poked Naruto, who was slightly sluggish, and suddenly came back to his senses. Coughed and asked.

"Can you contact Tsunade-sama?"

It has only been about half a month since the three of them left the village to carry out the mission. At this rate, it will take some time for Konoha to detect the anomaly of the Red Bean Team's mission.

However, the sea situation is unpredictable, and the absence of extreme weather and accidents in the past four or five days can be regarded as a few lives. If it drags on any longer, I am afraid that sooner or later I will be buried in the sea.

In this boundless sea, even if the three of them are ninjas, they can support each other to go on. Even if you rely on Naruto as a supply support, if you don't put it.

When the slug heard the sound of the waves, it panicked, and if it fell into the sea, it would soon die.

"This. I can't contact Tsunade-sama unilaterally, unless I wait for Tsunade-sama's psychic body."

Hearing this, Hongdou sighed.

But she still told the slug about the current situation, giving it a chance to relay it to Tsunade-sama, and agreed to channel it once a day in the future.

Seven days passed, and the raft became dilapidated, and several people were still floating on the sea. There were a few heavy rains and two big waves in between.

The wind flower light snow was washed away for a while, and Sakura was also swept into the bottom of the sea once. It was Naruto and Azuki who fished out the two of them again and again, and pulled them out of the line of life and death again and again.

Although there was no danger in the end, the raft also became tattered. There was still no news from the slug's side, and several people were in a bit of a gloomy mood.

On the sixteenth day of the sea wandering, it was dark at night.

They were barely able to see anything at night, and even if land appeared in the distance, they couldn't detect it. At night, I was forced to be helpless, and I could only put it badly.

The four of them have experienced strong winds and waves together, and they can be regarded as friends of life and death, and they sit around and talk quietly according to the custom.

Fenghua Xiaoxue told her life story early, without any reservations, and the three of Konoha simply called her the fugitive princess. Fenghua Xiaoxue also saw it, and only hoped that one day she would be able to return to the country of snow alive to take a look.

Naruto thought of that option and asked suddenly.

"Can you give me that necklace?"

There was a sound of breaking wind, and the necklace fell firmly into Naruto's arms. The sound of wind and snow came, lazy and casual.

"There's nothing you can't do, you can do it if you want me."

On the twenty-second day, the raft was completely scrapped.

Naruto carried Kaze-chanyuki on his back, and Sakura and Azuki stood with him on the surface of the sea, watching the tattered raft slowly sink to the bottom of the sea, and no one spoke.

The rafts are gone, and they are not far from death.

On the twenty-third day, the four finally discovered the land and happily boarded it. It was found to be a completely deserted land, completely uninhabited.

Naruto climbed high and looked into the distance, and saw a large Vortex Clan sign.
