Senior Brother of Konoha

No matter how high the mountain is, it will level off as you climb.

No matter how far the journey is, it will get closer as you walk.

The carriage swayed and sped slowly for three days, and finally arrived at Pinghai Port, the nearest port to Konoha Town, on the afternoon of the 30th of the cold month.

Naruto and his group, led by Kakashi, boarded a ship bound for Wave Island.

From now on, after completing the three-day carriage journey, they will live on a sea ship for two and a half days, and then arrive at Hainoshima on the afternoon of the second day of winter.

After taking a short rest and waiting for the low tide on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, you can explore the ruins of the Land of Waves.

.

Sea ships are large and can accommodate hundreds of passengers.

Among these hundreds of tourists, nearly half are people from all walks of life who plan to explore the ruins of the Country of Waves, and there are also many practitioners belonging to various major training sects.

This was Naruto's first trip, his first time on a sea ship, and his first time seeing so many people in the world.

He was very curious and wanted to go down to the upper deck and go to the lower deck to see the legendary free-spirited people in the world, but Kakashi sternly refused.

"What are you going to do? They're just a bunch of lowlifes. What's there to see?"

These are Kakashi's original words. You can tell that he looks down on people in the world.

"Yes, Senior Brother Kakashi is right. Those gangsters are all greedy for money and have despicable character. They will kill and set fire at every turn for petty gains. They are very dangerous."

Haruno Sakura said.

Sasuke ignored their intentions at all and limped towards an unoccupied corner of the deck, looking as indifferent as ever and keeping away from strangers.

Naruto thought for a while and gave up the idea of ​​going to the lower deck.

In fact, it wasn't Haruno Sakura's threatening words that moved him, but the danger he sensed in a few looks when he just looked down.

The experience of facing darkness alone since childhood made him very sensitive. Whether it is the kind eyes of others or the malicious eyes, he can faintly detect them.

Among the people on the lower deck, even those who look relatively loyal, their eyes when they peek at the upper deck are full of unabashed greed and viciousness.

"Okay, okay, there's nothing to see. Hurry back to the cabin. If you have the time, you might as well rest more. Once you enter the ruins of the Kingdom of Waves, you won't have time to rest even if you want to."

Kakashi chased people away impatiently.

Haruno Sakura was the first to return to the cabin very obediently.

Sasuke stared at the sunset by himself, with no intention of responding to Kakashi's order.

As for Naruto, he originally wanted to go back to the cabin, but after seeing a familiar figure, he gave up the idea.

"Brother Kakashi, this is my first time seeing the sea. Can you stay on the deck for a while? I'll go down in a moment."

"Whatever you want, but remember not to go down." Kakashi agreed casually, then caught up with Haruno Sakura and continued to ask him the question he had been asking for several days, "Haruno Sakura, what do you girls like?"

Naruto chuckled, thinking to himself, Brother Kakashi looked like he was in love.

But having said that, Sister Airi Otsutsuki is indeed beautiful, and she is a pretty good match for senior Kakashi.

Just one thing, I hope that Senior Brother Kakashi is serious this time and won't give up after encountering a slight setback like he did a few times before.

By the way, who is the guy with a short purple ponytail just now?

Naruto turned his attention to the middle of the upper deck, where there was the purple short ponytail version of Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and several fellow disciples wearing Konoha forehead protectors. They were with other practitioners wearing Kuangshamon forehead protectors. Chatting, it seemed like they were having a lot of fun.

Not sure if she sensed Naruto's gaze, Hinata, a short purple ponytail, looked back at Naruto.

She looked very confused. It was obvious that she didn't know Naruto very well, at least not familiar with him. He was completely different from the long-haired Hinata.

Another thing is that on her shoulder squatted a purple-blue spiritual beast leopard cat kitten, the same one she had taken away in the pine forest.

After thinking for a moment, Naruto gave up the idea of ​​going over to say hello.

Not to mention the weird things like the two Hinata, from a normal point of view, it is best for him not to get involved with famous children like Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba.

The famous family and the common people are two completely different worlds. If they get too close, they will be hurt.

This is something that is not spoken out loud, but everyone knows it.

.

On the first night, Naruto suffered greatly.

He had never been on a sea ship before and became seasick. He vomited so hard that he almost vomited his entire stomach.

It's not that he didn't prepare seasickness medicine in advance, but it was strange that the seasickness medicine that worked during the day had no effect at night.

Kakashi asked Haruno Sakura to take care of Naruto and cast "Purification Technique" on Naruto from time to time to relieve Naruto's pain.

After giving the order, he returned to his cabin to rest.

At first, Haruno Sakura could persist, enduring her own discomfort to treat Naruto, and then helping to clean up Naruto's vomit.

But in the second half of the night, it was obvious that she couldn't hold on anymore, and she showed an expression of impatience from time to time.

"Haruno Sakura, please go back and rest. I'm feeling better now and can take care of myself."

Naruto forced Haruno Sakura to leave.

Haruno Sakura felt like she was being pardoned. She murmured in her mouth, quickly walked out of Naruto's cabin, slammed the door and left.

Naruto could see and hear the dissatisfaction in Haruno Sakura's muttering, but he was still very grateful for the hard work Haruno Sakura put in for him.

Although Haruno Sakura is positioned as an auxiliary in the team and needs to frequently cast auxiliary spells such as Palm Senjutsu and Purification Technique, but that is during battle, and she has no responsibility to take care of them in daily life.

After Haruno Sakura left, Naruto grabbed Ramen, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and ordered unceremoniously: "Stop sleeping, help me get rid of my seasickness problem."

Ramen tried to express his dissatisfaction with a counterattack when he was woken up, but was mercilessly suppressed by Naruto using the blood contract spell. In the end, he could only grumble and complain like Haruno Sakura while using the purification spell on Naruto to relieve it. Naruto was suffering from seasickness.

In more than a month of training, Ramen has made great progress, and his proficiency in basic techniques such as the Purification Technique is even higher than that of Naruto who uses shadow clones to accelerate training.

This is the talent of the spirit beast leopard cat, coupled with the knowledge and experience from the nine-tailed demon fox, it is normal to progress beyond Naruto.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhenyuan training can only be practiced step by step, it would have been able to knock down Naruto with one claw.

But now, it can only work for Naruto like a doormat, and it has to do such dirty work as cleaning up Naruto's vomit.

The most important thing is that Naruto doesn't understand it at all, and threatens it with blood contract spells from time to time.

So, Ramen was now angry and decided to take revenge on Naruto.
