Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

Bai Mingyu didn't recognize most of these genin, and he could only tell from their names that a few of them were members of various families in Konoha.

There are two teams among them, namely the disciples trained by Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Choza.

Like Nara Shikaku, these two people are elite jounin of Konoha Village, and they are also the heads of the Ino Shika Butterfly family.

Before the future elite jonin of Kakashi, Gai, and Asuma grow up and have the qualifications to guide genin, the older generation of ninjas who are in their prime and have experienced two great ninja wars are still Konoha. The backbone of the village has continuously cultivated batches of young outstanding ninjas for Konoha.

In addition, Bai Mingyu also saw a familiar figure.

Oil girl takes root

Bai Mingyu has not seen this guy since he returned to the village after his last mission. He also did not appear again when Lu Jiuban recruited new team members. And this time in the Chuunin Exam, Aburame Tune actually appeared in the team heading to the Land of Water.

The two people who partnered with him also seemed to be ninjas at heart. One of them had orange-red hair, and was probably the Yamafaze who would later serve as Danzo's bodyguard with Aburame Tori.

The other one was very unfamiliar. He was also a teenage boy with silver-grey hair and a long knife on his back.

"Have all the personnel arrived?"

A burst of smoke dissipated, and Nara Shikaku appeared at the village gate and glanced around.

"The number of people is confirmed, then we can set off."

The team sets off.

After two days of trekking, the group crossed the border of the Land of Fire. The surrounding scenery gradually changed, from the fertile plains to the fishing villages near the sea. Even the cool breeze blowing in front of them brought the ocean with them. Unique salty taste.

"Lord Shikaku, the country of Waves is ahead."

Another jounin named Shirayun Hayama among the accompanying jounin came over and said to Nara Shikaku.

"In other words, there is a sea route further ahead?"

Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment and said: "Hayama, please find some ferries to take us to the Country of Waves first, and then see if there are any merchant ships or passenger ships heading to the Country of Water. Try to set off within three days. Within the sky.”

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

Baiyun Yeshan ran quickly into the distance.

Nara Shikaku turned around and glanced at the people behind him: "Others, listen, we will stay in a town in the country of Waves later, rest for a few days, and wait for the ferry to be contacted before crossing the sea. Head to the Kingdom of Water. Let us know in advance that the situation in these small maritime countries is not safe. Be careful when you go out at night. It is best to go out in a small team to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

"Is this the country of waves?"

Amidst the responses from the genin, Bai Mingyu raised his head and looked forward, his eyes flickering slightly.

The country of waves.

From the map, this is just a small country surrounded by the sea, and there are only a few decent cities in the entire country. However, in the original book, it is the first mission out of the village undertaken by Team 7. Naruto and Sasuke It was here that they met Momochi Zabuza, the eyebrowless killer from Kirigakure Village, and Shiro, who had the ice escape blood successor limit.

And in the data manual, there are more records about the Country of Waves than just that.

As early as twenty or thirty years ago, the Kingdom of Waves once existed as a subsidiary country of the Kingdom of Uzumaki, relying on the protection of the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan to thrive. However, after the demise of the Kingdom of Uzumaki, this relationship no longer existed. The country of Wave, which only has one island, has no ability to cultivate its own ninjas. It is one of the few countries on the mainland that does not have a ninja village.

However, due to the geographical advantage of being surrounded by sea, the shipping industry in the Country of Waves is very prosperous, and one-third of the country's population owns ships.

however

"Mr. Bai Yu, it seems a little strange here. It's not the same as what the manual says." Quan quietly touched Bai Mingyu with his arm and whispered.

"Well, it's very strange."

According to the manual, nearly half of the people in the Country of Waves own boats, but now it is clearly broad daylight. Standing on the shore and looking around, there is not a single boat hundreds of meters away. Even the pedestrians coming and going are very quiet. few.

Bai Mingyu squinted his eyes and looked away from the sea: "It's the same on the sea. It stands to reason that there should be ships coming and going at this time, right?"

""

Quan glanced at Bai Mingyu in confusion, and just as he was about to say something, Baiyun Yeshan, who had just left, had already ran back: "Sir Lujiu, I found a few ferries in front of me, which should be able to send our people there. Please follow Let me do it."

There were two ferries, and there were nearly twenty people in the team. They couldn't deliver them all at once, so they had to be divided into two groups.

Baiyun Yeshan and another Jonin led two teams to get on the boat first, and then came back to pick up the second group after they landed ashore.

Half an hour later, everyone set foot on the land of the Kingdom of Waves.

"Thank you for sending us here. I wonder if you have any merchant or passenger ships departing soon if we want to go to the Kingdom of Water."

When getting off the boat, Nara Shikaku asked the boatman.

The boatman was a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat. His eyes stayed on Bai Mingyu and others for a while, and he said with some hesitation: "You are people who came from the Land of Fire, right? If it was half a month ago, there would be many The ships can take you to the Kingdom of Water, but it may be a bit troublesome now."

"What's the meaning"

"Recently, there have been pirates on the sea route to the Kingdom of Water. Many boatmen have been killed by pirates, so many of the remaining people no longer go to sea. Especially when going to a place as far away as the Kingdom of Water. I’m afraid it will be difficult to find a ship willing to carry you in a short time.”

"pirate"

Bai Mingyu raised his head and glanced at the boatman, and a thought came to his mind: among those pirates, could there be an organization called the Straw Hat Pirates or the Shichibukai? Those sea-floor stone handcuffs can be taken out and used.

"There is such a thing, but we have never heard of it before."

Nara Shikaku frowned and looked back at Baiyun Hayama and Shisui. The intelligence did not mention the pirates in the Land of Waves.

The boatman sighed: "You are from the Country of Fire. It is normal that you have never heard of it. This group of pirates only started to appear in the past half month. No one knows where they come from. They only know that this group of pirates This guy is extremely cruel and kills everyone he meets. Many people have been brutally murdered by them."

At this point, the boatman seemed to have suddenly discovered something. He looked at Nara Shikaku and said, "Look at your forehead protectors. Are you ninjas? Are the ninjas from the Land of Fire able to help us kill these pirates?"

"Sorry, we can't do this. We have more important things to do and we can't waste too much time here."

Nara Shikaku immediately guessed what he was going to say, and said apologetically: "But if possible, please help contact your colleagues to see if anyone is willing to go to sea. Although we will not accept the task of exterminating pirates, But if we encounter pirates at sea, we will take action to drive them away."

That night, the team stayed at a hotel in the Country of Waves.
