I write Hokage in Konoha

Chapter 21 Xiahe Village

in the afternoon.

Around three o'clock.

from afar.

The huge sun is suspended over the wide river area, emitting rays of light that people dare not look directly at.

The Beauty is on the main road of the river in the Land of Fire, moving forward neither fast nor slow.

"Ah, my mobile phone!! My mobile phone! Chu Ran, have you seen my bag, have you seen it? Have you seen it?"

at this time.

deck and wheelhouse,
Appearing back and forth, looking for lost items, Naruto's hurried and anxious figure.

An urgent question to Naruto.

Chu Ran could only helplessly shake his head and spread his hands, expressing that I don't know either.

Along the way, Chu Ran's attention wasn't all on Naruto, he must have lost his shoulder bag during his daydream.

Otherwise, I have no impression at all, Chu Ran sighed in his heart.

"Old Luffy, have you seen my shoulder bag?"

"This is already two hours ago, after you found out that you lost your backpack, you have asked me 121 times. If there is no one in the deck, wheelhouse, and conference room, I guess you are probably left on the pier."

Old Lufu nodded slightly, feeling that his words were reasonable, and then sighed: "Compared with this, are you sure you still want to go to Xiahe Village? If you return now, I can take you back now, just as if you came out and sat down." The boat breathes."

Unable to find the phone, the listless Naruto lay limply on the chair, sighed, nodded firmly, and said, "Absolutely!"

"Okay, there is still half an hour to reach the upper reaches of Xiahe Village, you are ready, I have heard about it from the boatmen who have been to Xiahe Village, and several piers that go to the lower reaches of Xiahe Village are all The voyage is temporarily closed, and something must have happened."

Old Lu Fu thought for a while as he spoke.

"Oh, mobile phone"

Naruto was dejected, and what Old Lufu was saying now was coming in from one ear and coming out from the other, even his appetite for oranges was gone.

on the deck.
After half a day of researching the ninjutsu scroll of [Water Escape·Single Water Body].

Chu Ran has firmly remembered the five ninja seals in his heart, and then he only needs to practice more in places with abundant water sources, combined with the mobilization of Chakra, and he will be able to easily master the essentials of this technique soon.

I don't know if it's because of old Lufu's boat skills, or because of the gentle current in the river area.

Along the way, Chu Ran didn't feel the slightest discomfort, nor did he show any signs of seasickness.

Don't be eager for success,

Chu Ran put away the ninjutsu scroll and walked to the pilot room.

Although the wind on the river is not strong.

But blowing for a long time is bound to be bad for the body.

Chu Ran also felt that he was using his brain too much. After learning ninja like this, if he followed up with code words, it must be more uncomfortable than killing himself.

Fortunately, before departure, Chu Ran had coded the manuscripts for nearly four days.

So don't worry, if you sneak around for a few days, there will be a situation where the update will be interrupted.

Step into the wheelhouse.

"Condolences."

Chu Ran patted the chair lying on the chair, silently looking at Naruto's shoulders in the woods on the shore, and comforted him, then picked up the oranges from the fruit plate on the conference table, and ate them by himself.

"Oh, it's a bad start."

After Naruto finished speaking, he fell silent, deeply immersed in the negativity after losing his mobile phone.

at this point.

Chu Ran saw the shadow of his previous life in him.

It should be the shadow of most people.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

As the beauty slowed down to 5 knots, and the speed is still slowing down.

Chu Ran looked up at the river bank that was getting closer and closer outside the window.

Start observing the environment about to log in.

There are only one or two piers by the river, and the environment is very dilapidated, but it fits the atmosphere of the village.

This journey took about five hours in total from when Chu Ran and the others boarded the ship at ten o'clock to when they were about to go ashore.

What a long trip.

The round trip would take a day.

But for old boatmen like Luf, five hours in the water may not be a big deal.

The Beauty slowly approached the pier,
Until it breaks down and stops.

Under the old Lufu's urging, Naruto took Chu Ran off the boat and waved goodbye to him.

When they were separated, Old Lufu never forgot to warn Naruto to run away immediately when encountering danger, and wait for advice, and promised to pick them up in person the day after tomorrow.

on land.

The fatigue accumulated by the two of them on the boat immediately dissipated.

Naruto also recovered from the depression of losing his mobile phone.

Although when he was on the boat, the old Lufu spoke miraculously about the situation in the lower reaches of Xiahe Village, but it didn't affect Naruto's decision to go and find out.

Naruto also visited this place last year, so he still misses the environment surrounded by green water.

Upstream of Xiahe Village.
Chu Ran followed the wharf bridge, pointed to the road sign in the forest, and looked at it at a glance.

The forest with verdant trees in front of me has different heights and undulating stretches. It looks like a hill sitting in the middle of a river.

Has not yet entered the forest of Xiahe Village.

Chu Ran had already vaguely heard the rushing sound of a waterfall.

"Hey, I'll go to the old village head's house tonight and stay overnight. I'll finish my mission tomorrow and rest for another night. The day after tomorrow I'll have a half day's leisure, and I can go back in the afternoon."

Naruto's eyes were filled with excitement, and he had completely forgotten what Old Lufu had said.

And Chu Ran was studying the scrolls all the way, and didn't hear the conversation between the two at the beginning, so he didn't understand at first why the old Lu Fu told the two of them to be careful of some weird things when they left.

But just now Naruto and Chu Ran have recounted what Old Lu Fu heard.

After listening.

In Chu Ran's heart, there was an urge to retreat.

The two are talking.

Has entered the forest of Xiahe Village.

I don't know why, since Chu Ran took the first step into the forest, he always felt that his back was being stared at by a pair of invisible eyes, and when he thought about what Naruto said just now, his heart suddenly panicked.

The further you walked into the forest, the clearer the clacking sound became.

After the two walked out of the forest.

Between the hills of the forest and the sand field on the opposite bank.

a narrow dam,

Standing horizontally on the river with low water level.

Under the dam, the galloping precipitation is like a wild horse galloping down, and the sound of the water flow is like thunder.

The edge of the dam.

When the sun shines on the splashing water droplets, from where the two are standing now, they can see several rounds of three-color rainbows with smaller arcs.

Naruto opened his hands and took a deep breath, greedily absorbing the sweet air purified by natural water, and the troubles on his face disappeared in an instant.

The air is quite fresh.

Chu Ran thinks so too.

Although Konoha has many trees.

But since they have all developed into cities.

With the exploitation of many energy sources and the pollution of the environment, the air quality will naturally drop sharply.

But now that Chu Ran is in such an environment, his soul suddenly has a feeling of being completely purified by the thunderous sound of water flowing and splashing everywhere.

"Ah, what is this?"

Squinting his eyes, Naruto, who was fully immersed in nature, suddenly touched a piece of round paper that was blown onto his face by the river wind from his face.

Chu Ran took a closer look and was suddenly startled,
Quickly glanced around.

Downstream on the other side of the dam.

A team of uniformly dressed in black, with people swaying a lot of white paper money at the front and back, gradually drifted away.

The cries of the elderly, women and children were vaguely mixed with the sound of the frantic rushing water.

And the round paper in Naruto's hand behind Chu Ran was a piece of paper money blowing in the wind.
