Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

The room was for two people. Izumi and Uzuki Xiyan lived together, while Bai Mingyu was assigned to another room and lived with the silver-gray haired root ninja.

"This is our first meeting. My name is Xin. Please give me your advice."

The silver-haired ninja stretched out his hand and said with a faint smile.

"Hello"

Bai Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and then heard the letter continue: "I heard before departure that my teammate Qi Gen had some unpleasant things with your team during the last mission. I I apologize to you on his behalf and hope you can forgive him. After all, we have been living in such an environment and are not used to many things in the outside world. It is not entirely out of malice."

"Um"

Bai Mingyu was slightly startled and looked at the letter strangely, "Aren't you also a person from the root? You would have such thoughts?"

Xin smiled and said: "Maybe it's because I have a different background from Takegen. I was not born in Konoha Village, but a war orphan from a small village. I have experienced many things since I was a child. Although I was adopted and Danzo-sama who raised me to become a ninja is very grateful, but sometimes, I still envy you children who live in the sun."

After a pause, the letter continued: "By the way, when Lord Danzo summoned you that day, I was also there, but I was wearing a mask, so you might not have recognized me."

"Is it"

Bai Mingyu was noncommittal.

He couldn't tell how credible the words Xin suddenly said were, and whether he was trying to trick himself into saying it, but it was hard to imagine that people who lived in such a dark place like the roots would have something similar to "normal people" idea.

A normal person in the eyes of outsiders is actually an alien within the "root".

If what the letter said are his true thoughts, well, he probably won't survive long under Danzo.

Afterwards, the two men had no more conversation.

Turn off the lights and go to sleep, having no words all night.

The next day, Baiyun Yeshan went out early to contact the ferry. Near noon, they finally found a merchant ship willing to carry them.

Pirates were very active during this period, and these merchants were the most anxious, because they relied on shipping to support their families, and every day of downtime was a huge loss. After hearing that the ninjas from Konoha were going to take the ship and were willing to ensure the safety of the ship, several businessmen came quickly.

Nara Shikaku chose one that looked more reliable and agreed to set off in two days.

Taking advantage of these two days of free time, Bai Mingyu, Izumi and Xiyan went out to walk around the country of waves and tasted several local specialties.

After coming out of a ramen shop, Quan looked back at the glass display window of the shop and frowned: "Baiyu-kun, Sister Xiyan, did you hear the conversation between the people at the next table just now?"

"how"

"They seem to be saying that a big company is buying the ferry in the Country of Waves." Izumi was a little unsure.

"It's the people from Cardo who are buying it."

Uoyuki Xiyan next to her said: "I have heard of this name. I heard that it is a very large shipping company. The president, Kado, is one of the few richest people in the world. Those people just now should be residents of this island country. , they said that Caddo Company was buying their boats from boatmen, because pirates were raging outside and people were afraid to go to sea, and the price offered by Caddo Company was very high, so many people had already sold their boats.”

Bai Mingyu looked at Maoyue Xiyan: "Sister Xiyan, how do you know so much?"

"Don't forget, I'm very experienced in gathering intelligence. It's easiest to find out information in places like pubs and restaurants. When I was eating in the store just now, I had been eavesdropping on their conversation at the table. Coupled with the piecemeal information obtained previously, when put together, we almost know the whole story."

"I see."

No wonder Uoyuki Xiyan will join ANBU in the future. Being able to dig out so much information in such a short period of time is indeed a rare espionage talent.

"Cado"

Bai Mingyu silently recited the name several times, feeling a little subtle in his heart.

Cardo Company, did you start attacking the Kingdom of Waves so early? Now that Cardo has appeared, then Zabuza and Shiro

Calculating age, Haku is slightly older than Naruto and the others, and Zabuza and Kakashi are almost the same generation, so Haku should still be a six or seven-year-old child now. Even if he has already met Zabuza, he has only just been together. , it is impossible to be hired by Cardo to work for him so early.

On the other hand, old man Dazuna, the bridge expert who hired Team 7 to protect him after building the bridge, should be living somewhere in the Land of Waves now.

"Forget it, it's none of my business, just leave it to Naruto and Erzhuzi to have a headache in the future."

Bai Mingyu was about to give up and think deeply, when a subtle light flashed in his mind, and several dark green haloes emerged.

It's a map

Just now, a new batch of treasure chests were refreshed again

Not far from where they were, on what looked like a small island, there were several light spots flickering faintly. They turned out to be bronze treasure chests, and there were more than one.

Suddenly, Bai Mingyu raised his head and looked into the distance, towards the center of the sea.

four treasure chests

One of them is bronze and three are black iron

In addition, there is a more eye-catching silver treasure chest on the edge of the map, far away on the other side of the sea. The refreshed location is surprisingly near the Kirigakure Village in the Kingdom of Water.

"What's going on? Is today a special day? So many treasure chests have appeared."

Usually, the interval between each treasure chest refresh ranges from a few days to ten and a half months at most, and most of the treasure chests refreshed are black iron treasure chests, and even bronze treasure chests can only be seen occasionally, let alone silver. The latter, Bai Mingyu, has only been seen twice in the past few months.

But now

"Izumi, Teacher Shikaku said we should leave tomorrow, right?"

"Ah, yes, what's wrong?" Quan was stunned for a moment and replied in a daze.

Bai Mingyu didn't say anything, but weighed it in his mind.

Not enough time.

From the map, the four treasure chests are located on the islands on the east side of the Country of Waves. The Country of Waves is surrounded by sea and surrounded by numerous islands. Many of the islands do not have official names, and even experienced fishermen cannot easily distinguish them. come out. Not to mention that pirates are now rampant and many fishing boats are staying at home and unwilling to go out.

Even if you pay a high price and hire a fisherman from the island to go out to sea, it will take a lot of time to find the location of the treasure chest among the many islands.

The Chunin Examination of the Land of Water is an important task of this trip, and Nara Shikaku will never allow them to stay here for too long.
