When night fell, Empress Shōmei and Ao stood at the bow and stern of the ship, looking around vigilantly.
Cold Wind turned into the bald captain and sat majestically in the captain's room.
Time passed slowly, and in the middle of the night, the fake Shinobi naturally didn't appear. Empress Shōmei and Ao, who waited for half a night in vain, met at the bow of the ship. Under the bright moonlight, they saw the open estuary in front of them!
"Empress Shōmei, it seems that the Shinobi has given up boarding the ship."
Ao said tiredly, "We should also leave."
Empress Shōmei nodded and subconsciously looked back at the captain's room.
Qing looked at this scene calmly. After witnessing 'Time is Essence', he had already entered Sage Mode. He really couldn't think of anything else.
Cold Wind stood in front of the glass window of the captain's room and looked down at Empress Shōmei who was standing on the deck looking up at him. The two looked at each other for a long time, but Empress Shōmei didn't go up to say goodbye in the end.
With a flash, Empress Shōmei turned into a shadow and jumped off the ship.
Ao followed closely behind.
Soon, the two disappeared into the night.
In the captain's room, Cold Wind sighed silently.
He really wanted to take Empress Shōmei home, but unfortunately, he was a Shinobi, and he didn't have feelings.
Whoosh!!
In the sound of rushing waves, the tall ship finally entered the sea!
Cold Wind walked to the corner of the captain's room and looked at the sea map above. The sea map showed the route of the voyage, the starting point was the Land of Water, and the ending point was the Land of Lightning.
Along the way, they will stop at two islands to resupply, but these two islands are a bit far from the Land of Fire. Considering that it is easy to get lost at sea, Cold Wind finally decided to get off the ship at the end.
…
The next day.
Land of Fire.
Wood Leaf.
In Naruto's office, Po Shui Mun was reading a scroll with a serious expression.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Huo Genma, who was standing in front of his desk. His blue eyes were full of seriousness as he asked, "Xuan Jian, who sent the scroll?"
Huo Genma rarely saw such an expression on Po Shui Mun's face. Even when Po Shui Mun defected from Waterstop, he did not show such an expression!
Could it be that the scroll contained some important information?
"Lord Naruto, when I arrived, I only saw the scroll placed in front of the office door. I didn't see who sent it."
If it wasn't for the fact that the scroll said "To the Fourth Naruto," Huo Genma would have opened the scroll to see what was inside.
"Send someone to investigate!"
Po Shui Mun immediately ordered, but then he frowned and shook his head fiercely. "No, no need to check!"
"Naruto -sama?" Huo Genma was confused.
"That's it, keep the scroll a secret, don't mention it to anyone!" Po Shui Mun said solemnly.
"Yes!"
After Huo Genma left, Po Shui Mun opened the scroll again and looked at it.
The scroll did indeed contain some important information about the members of the Organizations!
Akatsuki Leader: Nagato, Little South
True Identity: One of Wood Leaf's Sannin, Jiraiya's Disciple
Akatsuki Members:
Kusanagi Ninja
Kirigakure's Traitor Ninja
Sand Ninja: Sasori of the Red Sand
Wood Leaf Ninja: Orochi Maru
Waterfall Ninja Kakuzu
Wood Leaf Deceiver: Takashi Hyuga
Wood Leaf Ninja: Uchiha Waterstop
Mist Ninja: Dried Persimmon Mackerel
After that, there was some basic information about these official members.
Minato looked at the information on the scroll, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
'If I'm not mistaken, this scroll was sent by Waterstop.'
'It's really surprising, Jiraiya-sensei, the disciple you accepted in the Rain Country turned out to be the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.'
'It's a pity that the scroll didn't record information about Nagato and Little South.'
'But … the Organizations have grown so many members.'
'Takashi Hyuga … A Hyuga Branch Family Ninja faked his death and joined the Akatsuki.'
'Moonless Cold Ice should be Blue Moonless Aqua. The Abyss members are also members of the Akatsuki. Have the two organizations started to cooperate?'
Po Shui Mun had a headache. Although the information on the scroll was important, it only told the members of Po Shui Mun's Organizations. More specific information, such as where the headquarters of the Organizations were, how to contact the Organizations, how to contact the Organizations, how to act, and so on, were not mentioned.
It was just like a Japanese action movie that only introduced the beautiful female lead's face and figure. After that … there was nothing else!
How can people make trouble like this?
Po Shui Mun read the scroll again and again until he remembered all the contents, then he used Rasengan and destroyed the scroll completely.
Because he knew that once the contents of the scroll were leaked, Waterstop's identity as a spy would be immediately exposed.
So, just in case, he had to destroy the evidence.
"Genma!"
After destroying the scroll, Po Shui Mun called Huo Genma and asked him to call Kakashi.
About twenty minutes later, Kakashi appeared in the office wearing a Red Fox mask with his silver hair waving in the wind.
"Naruto -sama, you were looking for me." Kakashi said.
When there is a serious matter, Kakashi usually calls Po Shui Mun "Naruto -sama," but in private, he calls him "Minato-sensei."
Po Shui Mun nodded, then tore a piece of white paper, wrote two lines, and handed it to Kakashi, and ordered: "Check the whereabouts of these people and other related information."
"Yes."
Kakashi took the note and read: Kusagakure Rebellion, Kirigakure Rebellion, Kirigakure Rebellion, Dried Persimmon Mackerel.
There were a total of ten members of the Organizations recorded on the scroll. Two of them were Jiraiya's disciples, and Po Shui Mun's Senior Brothers and Sisters, so Po Shui Mun intended to ask Jiraiya about their information.
As for the others, Waterstop was undercover, so he couldn't check them.
Long Hyuga was a fraud of the Hyuga Clan, and it was related to the Hyuga Clan, so he had to be cautious.
Since Hanbing could join The Abyss and enter the Akatsuki, he must be powerful, and it would be difficult to find out his information.
As for Sasori, Orochimaru, and Kakuzu, Minato already knew their identities a long time ago, and he had been tracking them all this time, so he didn't need to specifically instruct Kakashi.
So in the end, only Zetsu and Dried Persimmon Mackerel were left.
Kakashi looked at the two names puzzled and asked: "Naruto -sama, what is this?"
"Go." Po Shui Mun didn't tell Kakashi more.
"Yes!" Kakashi was now a mature Anbu member, and seeing that Po Shui Mun didn't want to say, he didn't ask and immediately left.
"Wait a minute!"
Po Shui Mun suddenly remembered something and stopped him and asked, "Is Cold Wind back?"
Kakashi shook his head: "Not yet."
Po Shui Mun frowned slightly. About half a month ago, Cold Wind's Shadow Clone suddenly disappeared. At that time, Po Shui Mun and Kakashi both thought that Cold Wind had returned, but they didn't find him.
Po Shui Mun was naturally worried that Cold Wind had an accident.
Even if Cold Wind had mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
After all, Po Shui Mun's other disciple, Uchiha Obsidian, also had the Space Dojutsu, and was even better than the Flying Thunder God Jutsu!
"While looking for Zetsu and Dried Persimmon Mackerel, pay attention to Cold Wind and see where he went." Po Shui Mun said.
"Understood."
Kakashi nodded.
