Fire Country Border Coastline
December 12, Year 61 of Konoha.
It was a good day.
Dark clouds covered the sun.
Thunder rumbled in the winter.
The sky was about to snow. Hmm.
Timely snow promised a good year.
6: 21 in the morning.
When the sky was just beginning to brighten,
A black assault boat came ashore with a ticking sound. This shore was not a port.
It was just a gap between two huge reefs that was suitable for a boat to stop.
Shinobi Haruno Sakura held the rudder tightly with both hands.
She was slightly excited. This was her first time driving a boat, and she actually drove the boat from the Water Country to the Fire Country without a sea map.
It was unbelievable.
Sasuke looked at the lighthouse in the distance with wide eyes, also in disbelief. Although the tall tower next to the border station was as small as a toothpick, they still found land by relying on a few stars that they learned in ninja school, and they still had half a barrel of gasoline left.
However, Jiraiya felt that it was okay.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were in a hurry, he would even suggest that the young students try to swim back. "It's just that if the boat stops here, it'll be useless when the tide rises. Sizzle, it's quite a waste."
"It's good that it's useless. We're serious ninjas.
Chasing and killing traitors has nothing to do with morality.
But helping a thief to dispose of stolen goods is not! As for that female pirate.
Let her be happy.
She's as happy as a flower for you. She's also Bai Le'er! I should have strangled her to death with the strap of my bag yesterday! Maybe I could have even changed the toilet paper. "Sakura was the one who answered him.
Sakura still felt disgusted when she thought about it. Yesterday, after they handed in the mission at the bounty office and received the money, they were ready to rush back overnight, but who knew that the wind would suddenly rise on the sea. Big ships had timetables, and small boats were difficult to find when the wind rose. It was not easy to find one, but it was...
"Cough, Sakura, don't be so irritable. If it weren't for her miserable life, who would do that to a good girl? " Jiraiya felt a little indignant. "It's just a small brothel. It's just like … there are so few female ninjas in Konoha, and ordinary girls don't want to marry ninjas. If there's no brothel nearby, you'll let so many hungry and energetic single youths …"
"They can produce and sell their own food." Sakura revealed her white teeth and glanced at Sasuke, then at Naruto.
Jiraiya was deep in thought, and Sasuke was speechless. Naruto, on the other hand, did not seem to have heard anything. He shook his neck, jumped onto the reef, stepped on the mud, and started running towards the light of the lighthouse. He was going to find his father, right now! Nothing else mattered!
Going against the wind, Uzumaki Naruto never thought in his life that he would do such a crazy thing. But it felt really good. It was much better than when he was young, breaking people's windows, scrawling Konoha all over the place, chasing cats and dogs, and scaring children to tears! It was so good that he did not want to pretend to be a good boy in front of his father anymore.
14 years old. In the countryside, some 14-year-old boys were already fathers. And he was not even allowed to watch "Intimate Paradise". But so what if he was not allowed to watch it? Anyway, he knew what he needed to know. He knew much more than what his father taught him when he took him to the brothel.
At least he had already started to secretly wash his underwear in the morning! When he saw beautiful girls, especially those with big white legs, he would blush and his heart would race. His mind would be filled with wild fantasies. This was what a man was like. He understood. He understood that letting a mature and normal old man like his father, who had been single for 14 years, as a man, he could empathize with him. He knew how uncomfortable it was.
So his father just slept with a woman who came to him voluntarily. Even if his father was satisfied and wanted to maintain a long-term relationship, it was not a big deal. But …
That kind of woman wanted to be Naruto Uzumaki's new mother. This was, absolutely, impossible!
Hahaha!
"Hey, hey, Naruto, don't laugh like that. It's so scary." Sakura, who followed closely behind, interrupted Naruto in time. "Sasuke said that it would take at most an hour to reach the base. We don't have to run so fast."
Naruto obediently slowed down. It had been two years since he graduated from the ninja academy. He said that he wanted to roam the four seas together, but he had always been a burden to his teammates. For example, those abnormal missions. Fortunately, everyone still silently supported him. Even if it was yesterday, even if Jiraiya's grandfather patted his chest and promised that everything would be fine, but what if … So, Naruto decided that on this kind of matter where the difference of ten minutes wasn't too bad, or even on any of the team's decisions in the future, there was no need for him to say anything.
And on this side, it was only ten minutes later.
At the border of the Fire Country, Konoha's base.
There were also some people who felt that there was no need for them to say anything. They didn't want Naruto, who was still angry, to kill them with a single kick. But as the person in charge of Konoha's border, if he didn't take the blame, who would? "Milord, please control your anger."
"Metke, you dare to ask me to control my anger? Did you hear what you just told me? You told me that my son, my only son, braved the huge waves last night and crossed the strait with only a small boat. More importantly, you already knew when they boarded the boat yesterday. It's fine if you didn't stop them, but you dare to tell me now? " Naruto and Bo Fung Watergate felt all the blood in their bodies rushing to their heads. "I was sitting here with my eyes wide open last night, and you didn't even tell me anything. How can I not be angry? Tell me!"
"Yes, milord. There aren't any dangerous people on the Strait of Fire and Water, and there weren't any signs of a storm last night. Although the wind was strong, we could've just swam back … It wasn't that far. "
But Watergate's face was still angry.
Guy looked at Naruto's dazzling blond hair and looked at his watch. "Jiraiya's team has safely reached the border, and they will arrive at the gate in about half an hour."
"Then call me again in half an hour." Watergate finally swallowed his anger, rubbed his temples, and sat down and continued to bury himself in the documents. Since the Mizukage ran away, the Mist sent a thick box of documents. It was so thick that he started reading it after lunch yesterday, and it took him a whole afternoon and a whole night to finish it. Of course, this was enough to prove how complete the plan was, and how much the Mist Ninjas had planned.
In fact, Mei Teru had hinted at him since she took office. When the Monarch got married in Konoha, it was obvious. Of course, he wasn't narcissistic enough to think that the Mizukage would fall in love with Naruto, so what Mei Teru needed was a thick thigh from the Golden Flash. No one dared to touch Bo Fung Watergate's son, but what about women?
The Fire Country is a country in the mainland, and since the beginning of the country, it has always been inclusive and emphasized centralization. Land of the Wind, Rock Country, and Cloud Country are relatively isolated and have a single culture, so it's natural for them to form groups.
What about the Water Country? It's a complete archipelago country, and every island with a different shape is a natural territory. Once the Monarch isn't enough, it's natural for them to leave. Now, it's a situation where the Monarch is weak and the Minister is strong. Although the Monarch is the one who signed the economic cooperation treaty with the Fire Country, the merchants who dared to run out of the country before signing the treaty weren't his people.
In addition, the Mist Ninja isn't Konoha, Konoha is the dominant force in the Fire Country, and the Mist Ninja is just one of several major forces. The Mizukage isn't Naruto, and she doesn't have the ability to support an obedient new Monarch. On the contrary, because of her identity as a Ninja Village, she has always been the target of the Monarch's efforts, and also the target of other forces in the Water Country. That's why there have been waves of rebellions and coups in the Mist Ninja over the years.
Of course, other foreign forces are also an important reason, including the Fire Country and Konoha.
To be honest, Bo Fung Watergate has always thought that the Mizukage is a great woman. In the male-dominated ninja world, she occupies the top position with strength, and in the face of many forces, including the Fire Country and Konoha, she can do it with ease. More than once, she made the poor single Naruto suffer.
As long as Watergate thinks of the things that happened in the early morning of yesterday, he still feels a little embarrassed. In an era where ordinary people lived to 50 years old, they were considered to have lived a long life. He wasn't young anymore. He shouldn't have been obsessed with certain physical desires like he was in his twenties or thirties. How could he be tempted by a little drug? In the end, he had to rely on physical cooling to resist.
Fortunately, this isn't Konoha, and Kina seems to be a binding spirit, not his back spirit. Otherwise, he may not even have the face to die.
"Sama?"
Watergate's hands that were covering his face revealed a gap between his fingers, and he saw Metke's green body. He didn't want to know if he was seen when he was just dawdling. "Are you a ghost? You don't even make a sound when you walk!"
Metke forced himself to forget the last time when Naruto spit at him because he knocked on the door, and answered, "Master Naruto is 5 minutes away from the gate."
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier!" Watergate stood up immediately.
Metke just assumed that Naruto was blown away by the wind when he said "in half an hour."
But Naruto obviously won't let him go so easily. "I feel like you're an eyesore when I see you now. Is Yamato awake?"
"No." Guy looked at his watch and hesitated. Although Yamato only slept for two and a half hours, he still slept. Should he wake him up now?
But Naruto didn't give him time to react. "Then you do it."
"Do what?" Guy just asked two words when he was shocked by what Naruto took out.
"I can't do it alone." Minato sat back in his office seat, rolled up one of his sleeves, and put his hand on the table. Then, he took out a powder box and used his other hand to apply the heavy color under his eyes. "How annoying. When you should be sick the most, you're always fine."
"Sama, don't curse yourself."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Metke looked at the IV bottle on the shelf and the IV needle that he couldn't pick up with his thick fingers. He was at a loss. "S-Sama, if you're not feeling well, I-I'll call a medic?"
"I'm so tired that I need to put on makeup. Why would I need a medic? Hurry up, I can already feel that Naruto's Chakra is less than 1000 steps away. "
"B-But Sama, I've never operated this thing before." Guy felt like he was about to cry.
Watergate looked at Konoha's roughest man who was frightened like a little girl. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and waved his hand. "Then ask the people in front to stop him. Then find someone who knows how to administer needles!"
"Yes, Sama." Guy ran out like a gust of wind, leaving a mess of dust on the table.
At the entrance of the base, the sky was already very white. The huge Konoha -style light bulb by the door was even more powerless.
"Visitors, please report your names."
Jiraiya's eyes twitched as he looked at the row of black clothes, black pants, and cat masks. He curled his lips at the leader. "You don't recognize us?"
"Visitors, please report your names." The Anbu leader repeated with his hands behind his back.
Jiraiya's heart was suddenly filled with anger. He pulled Naruto and Sasuke out from behind him. "Then you don't recognize these two?"
"Two Konoha Genins." The leader reached out and patted Sasuke's shoulder. He nodded at Naruto. "Identification."
Naruto and Sasuke wanted to laugh but didn't dare. They quickly handed over the Ninja Manual.
The leader looked at the serial number and the mission book, waved his hand, and let the two Genins through the gate. He then pointed at Sakura behind him.
The Genin Haruno Sakura silently gave Jiraiya a "Good luck." She ran a few steps and stood at attention. She respectfully handed over her identification. After that, she stood together with her two companions. She didn't forget to hit Naruto with her elbow. "Why aren't you in a hurry to find your father?"
"Didn't Sasuke tell you to remind me not to run so fast?" Naruto looked at Jiraiya's angry face. "It's not even dawn yet. My father won't be able to get up at this time."
Sakura's blue veins silently crawled up her fists. She walked to the other side and gently pulled Sasuke's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke lowered his head and asked.
"No, it's nothing." Sakura originally wanted to ask Sasuke if he wanted to help Jiraiya. But when she saw Sasuke's excited face, she gave Jiraiya a "Good luck."
Jiraiya's anger continued to increase. "Uchiha Itachi, what do you mean by this?"
"Please report your name." Uchiha Itachi took off his mask. His face was cold. "Also, please call me Konoha's Anbu Field Supervisor."
"When did Konoha get such a strange position?!" Jiraiya felt like he was about to explode. He couldn't help but release his Chakra.
"Last month or the month before that?" Itachi didn't back down and continued to release his Chakra. In the past two months, he had led the Anbu's younger generation of elites to take on some of the most difficult missions on the black market. The process was indeed a little thrilling. A few especially sly traitorous ninjas managed to escape from Ambush From Ten Sides. However, they still managed to break Kakashi's mission record. Although it was only in terms of efficiency, it was proven that the younger ninjas had more advantages when it came to working as ninjas!
"You, you bastard!"
"Please report your name."
"Jiraiya." Jiraiya squeezed these three words out of his molars. He took a deep breath and stood upright like a real Konoha Ninjas. "Konoha Jonin, member of the Council of Elders, disciple of the Third Generation Naruto, one of the Sannin, Jiraiya."
"Oh." Itachi felt like he was about to explode. He was just trying to break the record when Huo Xuanmen sent him and his team to be the guards of the Four Generations. Protecting Naruto was their responsibility and honor, and they were indeed bored recently. They could've just gone home for the New Year. But who would've thought that they'd catch a big fish like Jiraiya in just one day and one night.
One of the Sannin, Jiraiya, was actually bullied by a youngster like him. Haha, I didn't expect Jiraiya's temper to be so good. He didn't even get angry. It's a pity that they didn't fight. "ID."
"No one has ever given me an ID before!" Jiraiya finally understood what it meant to be "the son of a mouse knows how to dig holes". His nose, his eyes, and the little red eyes on his face were exactly the same as Uchiha Fugaku's when he was young. But Jiraiya really couldn't do it now. He remembered why they went out and why they came back … He didn't believe that a youngster would dare to treat a ninja of Konoha this way without Watergate's permission!
Of course, respecting the old and loving the young was a virtue, and obeying orders was even more so. Uchiha Itachi would usually choose to challenge someone in a straightforward manner. He wouldn't waste his breath. But who told Kai-senpai to say that Naruto wanted to make things difficult for them?
He definitely couldn't touch his brother and Naruto, and Sakura was fine. He really couldn't pick a fight, so he could only teach Jiraiya what "discipline" was. "Well, if you don't have an ID, where's your forehead protector?"
"Tell Bo Fung Watergate to come out."
"Please don't call Lord Four Generations by his name."
"I'm his teacher." Jiraiya continued to restrain himself. "He can prove who I am."
"Please show me the forehead protector." Itachi was getting more and more excited. He felt that Jiraiya was about to jump up and slap him.
However, Jiraiya just sighed and squatted down. He took off one of his shoes, lifted the insole, pulled out a black lump, and threw it at Itachi. "Here."
Weasel suppressed the churning volcano in his stomach, held his breath, and silently said, "I can't smell it, I can't smell it, I can't smell it, I can't smell it, I can't smell it, I can't smell it." The small piece of metal was also black and full of dents and scratches. There was not a single spot on it that could reflect light. Even the Uzumaki leaf label was somewhat distorted. Itachi turned the iron piece over, and a string of small numbers could be seen clearly – 002301.
Numbers are numbers when they have meaning.
