Konoha's Shiranui Genma

The black-capped albatross from the land of water, and the white-footed albatross from the land of water.

Shiranui Genma actually had no second choice.

In the current situation, the country of water may make trouble for the country of fire at any time. The two countries are suspicious and wary of each other. If he goes to the country of water to find the black-capped albatross, he may even die.

The Country of Tang is an ally of the Country of Fire, and the relationship between the two parties is good. Even if he passes by openly, there will be no problem, and he may even be treated as a "super citizen".

So naturally, Shiranui Genma could only go to Tang Country to find the white-footed albatross.

After making a choice, he found several more books and carefully looked up information about the habits and characteristics of albatrosses, especially white-footed albatrosses.

After some research, he finally confirmed that the white-footed albatross inhabiting the eastern coast of Yuno Country lays eggs from the end of July to the beginning of October every year.

It was now March 44. In other words, he would have to wait at least four months before he could leave.

After all, according to previous experience, human hatching is also a very important part for avian psychic beasts. Avian psychic beasts cultivated from eggs have obviously greater potential.

While Shiranui Genma was waiting, five months passed quickly.

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

In the past few months, the chaos in the Land of Rain has become more and more prominent. There are more and more rebellious ninjas, wandering ninjas, and local forces. Conflicts occur from time to time.

The battlefield of Kawa no Kuni was the same as before. Konoha's offensive was fierce. Although Sunagakure was very strenuous, he was still gritting his teeth and resisting hard.

Obviously, Sunagakure is still looking forward to the arrival of some events that can turn the tide of the war.

"Why are you going to the Kingdom of Yu to collect bird eggs?" Jiraiya, who was working on an outline for his new work, widened his eyes.

"Uh, yes. After a long period of consideration, I decided to use the albatross as my psychic beast. Now it's the breeding season of the white-footed albatross, so I'm going to take half a month's leave from you."

As soon as Shiranui Genma finished speaking, Jiraiya picked up a manuscript at hand, patted the table and said, "What about the remaining illustrations of this intimate life? I'm about to submit it."

"Am I going to destroy my reputation of "never delaying my manuscript" because you went to catch the albatross?"

For more than a year, Jiraiya has published many short stories one after another, accompanied by Shiranui Genma's exquisite illustrations, which has unsurprisingly caused quite a stir in the world of adult comedy literature.

There are followers, but more often than not, it is traditional adult comic writers who accuse the two of them of being too naked and seriously damaging the sanctity of literature and art, triggering waves of controversy.

However, contrary to the literary world, the readers responded very enthusiastically to this. Those who have read Jiraiya's novels have read the book a hundred times and never tire of it.

Passed down by word of mouth, the name Jiraiya is about to become a symbol of adult comedy literature in the new era of the ninja world.

Fortunately, Shiranui Genma did not sign his real name.

Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be honored, and most likely he will go one step further, becoming the "youngest underage painter in history" with an even more terrifying reputation.

Although there is no reputation, the manuscript fee is real.

So far, Shiranui Genma has earned millions of taels with the 20% share of the royalties paid by Jiraiya, which is a very fruitful harvest.

Jilai also stared, and was about to say more, but Shiranuo Xuanjian seemed to have been prepared, and took out a few pictures from his arms.

"Jiraiya-sama, I have already drawn the pictures. I will definitely not delay the publication of the novel."

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then he took the picture and looked at it carefully, his old face gradually turned red: "You are really neat this time."

"Well, Jiraiya-sama, I will leave for Yu no Kuni in the afternoon."

Jiraiya looked at the illustration carefully again, then touched his chin and asked as if he was preparing to make an important decision: "Are you so interested in psychic arts?"

Listening to his tone, Shiranui Genma's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of expectation for no reason.

Jiraiya was silent for a moment, as if hesitating about something.

After a while, he sighed slightly and said, "Okay, I allow you to go to Tang Country to catch albatross for half a month. Don't exceed the deadline."

""

In the afternoon of that day, Shiranui Genma tidied up a little, put on his backpack, and headed straight to Yu no Kuni.

The Country of Tang is basically in the east of the Country of Rain. He set off from the Konoha Camp and traveled all the way east. It took him less than three days to reach his destination.

On the east coast of Yuno Country, there is a sea cliff somewhere.

Shiranui Genma walked to the top of the cliff, looked up, and saw many white-footed albatross soaring in the sky, and birds were singing.

"唳"

As the name of the bird suggests, the feet of the white-footed albatross are snow-white, as if coated with a layer of paint. This is the most striking feature that distinguishes them from other albatross.

Of course, not just the feet, most of their bodies are white, except for some places on the wings that are black.

In addition, compared with most albatrosses, the white-footed albatross has a more streamlined body shape, so it is flexible and faster.

Unlike what he had seen and heard in his previous life, animals in the ninja world often do not have many difficult frames or boundaries to break, and the white-footed albatross is no exception.

For example, after just a cursory look, Shiranui Genma saw several giant albatrosses with a wingspan of six to seven meters, each of them majestic.

According to various books, as a large albatross, the white-footed albatross has a wingspan of at least three meters and a body length of more than one meter, which is enough to carry an adult.

There are white-footed albatrosses on this large coast, so Shiranui Genma only stopped here for a while, and then continued along the cliff while observing many albatrosses in the sky.

"唳"

When the birds are singing, you can sometimes see albatrosses piercing the water like lightning, and then flying out again with fish and shrimps of all sizes in their mouths.

Now is the peak egg-laying season for the white-footed albatross. The male and female albatrosses, which adhere to a monogamous relationship, often take turns to bear the responsibility of incubation.

Therefore, after catching fish and shrimp, the white-footed albatross will fly back to its nest on the cliff with food, and then come back to continue hunting.

For two consecutive days, Shiranui Genma has been observing and recording white-footed albatross on this coast, preparing to pick out the one with better qualifications and then dig out the eggs.

This morning, he was walking on the cliff while looking at the sky not far away.

The sharp bird chirping suddenly sounded.

After circling for a while, a rather large albatross with a wingspan of seven or eight meters did not enter the water to feed like other albatrosses. Instead, it flapped its wings, and a column of water suddenly burst from the sea below, and countless fish and shrimps flew into the air.

Immediately, it opened its mouth wide, swooped and glided as fast as lightning, caught countless fish and shrimps in an instant, and then flapped its wings, leisurely returning to its nest on the cliff.
