The New Uzumaki Legend of Naruto

Menma and the other three walked to the pier and saw a group of people who looked like boatmen resting on the pier. When they saw Menma and others coming, they quickly lowered their heads, as if they didn't want to be noticed, and some even curled up.

Menma looked at the evasive boatmen with interest and asked Terumi Mei beside him:

"Our next stop is the capital of the Kingdom of Water. What do you think of these boatmen in front of you, Ninja-sama? If, as an employer, I ask Ninja-sama to choose a boat, what choice will you make?"

Terumi Mei first covered her mouth and smiled:

"Fengjun, call me Mingsang."

Then she seriously thought about the other party's question. It was not that she didn't know the risks that these boatmen had to bear when taking ninjas out on a voyage. During the war, they would probably never return, but she had never paid attention to it. After all, how could ninjas care about the lives and deaths of civilians?

Menma didn't mean to wait for Terumi Mei's reply. He walked forward and handed a cloth bag to a relatively normal young boatman. The latter shook his head, changed his previous fear, raised the corners of his mouth, and came forward with a respectful expression:

"Sir! My name is Naraku! What orders do you need?"

Menma smiled:

"Take us to Water Island."

The young boatman hurriedly said:

"No problem, sir. This trip will take an hour. Adults, please get on the boat. If you need a little one when you come back, the little one will be waiting for you at the Water Island Pier."

The three of them sat in the boat. Terumi Mei glanced at Kimimaro and Menma who were sitting opposite, and found that the former had no mood swings at all, while the latter looked at the boatman who was holding up the paddle board with a smile. She followed Menma's gaze and saw that this young boatman looked like a black bamboo pole, and the paddle in his hand looked stronger than him. She swept around again and found that the surrounding area was basically a combination of black bamboo poles and small wooden boats.

Withdrawing his gaze, Terumi Mei looked down at the small wooden plank under his feet. It was not until the boat rowed some distance away from the pier that his eyes fell on the water.

The four of them were silent all the way, and soon the boat docked at the Water Island Pier.

Water Island has the largest dock in Water Kingdom and is considered the most prosperous island in Water Kingdom. You can get a glimpse of it from the prosperity and wide streets of the seaside town. Water Capital, the capital of Water Kingdom, is located here.

Menma and the other three got off the boat, and he said to Naraku:

"Go back to Mist Island, we will stop here for a long time."

The young boatman in front of him suddenly showed a complex expression of disappointment and pleading. Terumi Mei also saw this scene, and when he turned to follow Menma and left, he glanced at the black bamboo pole again.

The Water Country Pier is built in a large seaside town. All kinds of facilities are available in the town, and the flow of people is even more dense. There are vendors selling goods, busy workers, and passers-by.

Menma looked at the scene in front of him and sighed:

"This place is more vibrant than Kirishima. There should be many business opportunities."

Terumi Mei also looked at the lively town in front of her, dispelling her previous unhappiness, and responded in a relaxed tone:

"This is the most prosperous place in the Kingdom of Water, and the lives of common people are the best."

At this time, Kimimaro, who had been sent by Menma to ask for directions, returned:

"Sir, there are two ways to get to the inn. One is shorter and can be reached through the civilian settlement area, but there will be many uncertainties on the way; the other is to take the highway directly to the inn at the end, but it has to pass through a crowded and narrow road. Coastal Commercial Street.”

If the three of them want to go to the Water City, they need to go to the town's inn to rent a carriage.

Menma smiled and said:

"We are protected by Ming Sang, and ordinary thieves can't get close to us. Let's go to the residential area! By the way, we can experience the human touch of Water Island."

As he spoke, he glanced at Terumi Mei, who looked indifferent.

Kimimaro responded:

"I will clear the way for you, my lord!"

Menma shook his head, smiled and touched Kimimaro's head:

"Kimimaro, please watch and think carefully along the way. I need to know your understanding when you get out."

Kimimaro stood up straight and nodded sharply.

The three of them walked towards the residential area. Looking at the paths that extend in all directions and have many forks in front of me, I feel numb.
