Naruto's Endless Pretense

Most of the causes of whirlpools are meandering coastlines.This kind of coastline is not only the location of excellent natural harbors, but also a dense area of ​​hidden reefs.The small island where the ruins of the Kingdom of Whirlpool are located is surrounded by the Kingdom of Fire along the coast, like a clenched fist.This is also the reason why the big whirlpool appears. Seeing the whirlpool means that the destination is one step closer.

However, when they saw this huge whirlpool, Sasuke and Kakashi, instead of feeling relieved that they were about to land, looked solemn.This vortex is really beyond the common sense that people can understand.

A whirlpool in nature does not refer to a huge whirlpool. It refers to vortices that often appear in an area.These eddies are often triggered by tides and reefs.The currents of eddy tides generally do not cause any harm to ships in them. The real threats are the reefs hidden in the water.This is why there are sightseeing boats on Earth specifically for watching whirlpools.

However, the flow speed of the whirlpool in front of me was a bit too fast.Before even entering the outer reaches of the vortex, the ship began to shake violently.Hanabi, who was younger and suffered from seasickness, could barely stand.Importantly, the area of ​​this vortex is also unusual.

Under normal circumstances, the vortices generated by eddy tides are relatively small.A vortex with a diameter of 30 meters is considered a very large vortex.But the vortex in front of everyone almost filled the entire field of vision, and its diameter was impossible to estimate.And as the ship got closer and closer to the whirlpool, strong winds blew from the sea that hurt people's faces.

"There's no whirlpool here, it's just a typhoon!"

Sakon, who hurriedly walked out of the cab, was shocked by the scene in front of him.In the face of the power of nature, ordinary ninjas are powerless except for legends like Senju Hashirama.

"It's going to be really bad if this continues."

Kakashi looked at the large whirlpool getting closer and closer, feeling the rocking of the ship, his expression became more solemn.They were traveling on ordinary wooden boats rented from the port, which were not considered sturdy in the face of strong winds and waves.As the ship entered the whirlpool, Kakashi seemed to be able to hear the squeaking and wailing sound of the ship's planks.If this continues, regardless of whether it will deviate from the channel, the boat will most likely be pulled by the rapids and hit the rocks.

"Sasuke!"

"understood!"

Without Kakashi's reminder, Sasuke realized the critical situation and immediately entered sage mode.The red immortal facial makeup and the cursed auspicious clouds quickly appeared on his face.In this case, he was no longer allowed to summon slugs.

"The Immortal Technique·The Art of Water from the Heart!"

As a large amount of senjutsu chakra, almost visible to the naked eye, was injected into the sea, the ship gradually stabilized.Although there was still a strong wind, there was no longer that disturbing squeaking sound.At the same time, Kakashi and others also found that the vortex in front of them had become much smaller.

It turned out that Sasuke controlled the water flow to create a wave that was more than ten meters high and opened up a path, holding the ship up and continuing on the original channel.

"Sasuke, why don't you take a detour?" Kakashi asked.

"No, I can sense it after entering sage mode. This vortex is too big. If I take a detour, I may not even have enough chakra. And there are reefs everywhere around it, which is too dangerous."

Sasuke said as his figure suddenly swayed and he almost slipped off the mast.He clasped his hands together and lowered his weight before barely standing still.

"Not good."

The closer to the center of the vortex, the greater the centrifugal force.After only advancing a few dozen meters, Sasuke felt a sense of difficulty and could only devote himself to controlling the water flow.Even so, Sasuke knew that something would happen if he continued.

After clarifying the situation, Sasuke no longer maintained the huge waves used for lifting, and slowly returned the ship to the sea.At the same time, the clasped hands were separated, the left hand maintained the water escape seal, the right hand was placed horizontally on top of the left hand, and the two Sharingan eyes also quickly rotated.

"Look for something to hold on to!"

Before he finished speaking, a large amount of sea water surged up to form a hollow dragon.The water dragon hugged the small wooden dragon and rushed forward quickly. Sasuke wanted to use this impact to quickly leave the whirlpool area.

Although the high-speed moving water dragon created a hollow area around the ship, a large amount of waves still splashed onto the ship.Because the speed was too fast, these waves broke the mainmast and auxiliary mast on the surface of the ship, and Kakashi and others could only use chakra to adsorb on the deck.

Everything has pros and cons.The high speed caused a lot of damage to the not-so-sturdy boat, but it also allowed Sasuke and others to quickly rush out of the center of the vortex and head towards the periphery.And just when they were out of the whirlpool and everyone was sighing with emotion, a dull and terrifying sound came from the bottom of the boat.

A large amount of water poured in, and the ship sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.Seeing this scene, even Hanabi knew that the ship had hit the rocks.However, compared to before crossing the vortex, Kakashi was much calmer.Now we are not far from the island of Whirlpool Country, so even if there is no ship, it will not be a problem.

Because Sasuke is here.

Before Kakashi could say anything, Sasuke had jumped to the bow of the boat and plunged his hands into the sea.At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.There was only a bone-itching clicking sound, and a large area of ​​seawater was directly condensed into ice cubes.

The ice floes connected with the dilapidated ships quickly formed a glacier floating on the sea.After the ice layer reached a certain thickness, Sasuke's hand seal changed from the Mao Seal of Water Release to the Xu Seal of Wind Release.The breeze blew the glacier, slowly moving towards the island.

"Sasuke-sama, are you okay?"

Maintaining such a large-scale ninjutsu consumes a lot of chakra. Seeing that their form finally stabilized, Tayuya and Kaoru immediately walked to Sasuke's side.Compared to the girl's caring and delicate attitude, Sakon seemed very heartless and collapsed on the deck.

"Ah, I'm saved. As expected of Sasuke-sama, he can even escape from such a natural disaster."

"A natural disaster?"

While maintaining the wind escape seal, Sasuke bit his right hand and channeled a small slug.The island is still invisible to the naked eye. If you continue to use the curse seal to maintain the immortal mode, your physical strength will be completely exhausted.

"Huahuo, are you alright?"

"Ah, I'm fine."

Hanabi, who was stronger in the face of Sasuke's concern, said she was fine, but her swaying body had already exposed her fatigue.As a child who is still in a ninja school, it is not easy to persist in such an environment until now.

"Don't be brave, your body is soaked by the sea water. Tayuya, take Hanabi back to the cabin to change clothes and have a good rest. Sakon, go and make some food for everyone. Xianglin looks at him and doesn't let him be lazy."

"Yes, Sasuke-sama."

"Tch, Sasuke-sama is so partial, and I'm not very good at cooking either."

"Stop blabbering and get up quickly!"

After the four of them slowly walked into the cabin, Sasuke stopped writing the seals in his hands and looked at Kakashi.Kakashi noticed that Sasuke's eyes turned away, but his expression was still thoughtful.

"How is it, do you have a clue?"

Kakashi shook his head upon hearing this. "Absolutely not."

"Ah, me too. I didn't sense any chakra fluctuations other than ours along the way." Sasuke sighed.

"But this is beyond natural phenomena."

"Yes. But let's not talk about the amount of chakra. Who is the opponent and where did he use this technique that I can't even use. These are all questions."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.No matter what the purpose of Sasuke's trip was, this trip to Uzumaki Village would definitely not be peaceful.
