Naruto's Will of the Earth

Chapter 49 Konoha's Response

The next day, the original group of people left without anyone noticing early in the morning. ..There were obviously people following him when he left. These people were easily knocked unconscious by Uehara, who was extremely capable and tempered by the flames of war, and then thrown aside.

With a huge sum of million, he not only replenished abundant supplies, but also purchased a cargo ship. The cargo ship was not too big and could accommodate more than Uehara people.

The boat is powered by wooden oars. This is something that Uehara never expected. According to Uehara's psychological expectation, it must be at least steam-powered. But in fact, this is a sailboat powered by wooden oars, which makes Uehara somewhat a little confused. disappointment.

There are ten long-handled oars on each side of the hull, which means a group of twenty people. One hundred and nine of them can be divided into five groups. A half-hour rotation is enough to ensure that everyone has sufficient physical strength.

Uehara never expected to get seasick. A group of ninjas who are fearless and omnipotent, flying in the sky and on the earth, will become like that not long after getting on the ship, playing around, sluggish, and as miserable as they can be. Uehara was sitting against the cabin. Next to him was Spider Maru, who was turning blue. Spider Maru stared straight ahead. He gritted his teeth tightly and closed his mouth tightly, fighting against the churning feeling in his abdomen.

"I'm talking about Spider Maru, are all our Iwa ninjas like this? The water shortage in the Land of Earth is so serious. Have you ever seen a big river? Have you ever swum in a river? Damn it, you don't have much fighting power like this."

Spider Maru opened his mouth and was about to return to Uehara when the ship shook. Spider Maru couldn't hold on anymore and pushed Uehara out of the way. He quickly stretched his head outside the side of the ship and vomited all over. Spider Pill, who is as strong as a bear, is like this, and others are not much better, so that the number of people who are not seasick, including Uehara, is less than twenty. There is a shortage of manpower, and the speed of the ship is naturally not fast.

"Samoto, what's wrong? Why are you stopping?" Uehara asked as he grabbed the cable and stood up as he watched Samoto walk out of the cabin.

"It's not good, Uehara." The ship had stopped and kept spinning along with its inertia. "The bilge is leaking. It's very troublesome. We are trying to find a way to repair it."

"How could it be possible? How far did we go?" Uehara frowned. He felt that he had been deceived. He would have known that he had used the transformation technique to look like an adult when he bought the boat. His child-like face was... Everyone wanted to kill him.

"Profiteer" Uehara punched the floor angrily, "If we weren't afraid of being exposed, we could hire some boatmen."

Seeing that his companions were all looking at him, Uehara put back his angry expression and pretended to be confident, "Squad leader Simoto and I will be able to solve this small matter in a while. Everyone can eat and rest for the time being."

Speaking of rest, the fat man was very willing and took out a lot of snacks bought for him, and like a mouse, he ate a lot in no time. Speaking of which, Shellesa, Fatty, and Uehara put in a lot of effort to learn to swim. Although they didn't learn it, they were familiar with the water, so seasickness didn't exist for them.

When we came to the bottom warehouse and removed the ballast, we found that there was indeed a crack in the compartment that was leaking water. Fortunately, the crack was not big and we found it in time. Otherwise, everyone would have to abandon the ship when the crack widened.

"Uehara, this is it." Siben pointed to the crack. "It has been repaired, but it is still leaking. We have to assign a man to guard here. If there is too much water, we will clean it out, otherwise the boat will capsize."

Uehara frowned and said, "Siben, show me the broken board."

"Here." Siben looked around after hearing the words, kicked up a wooden board placed in the corner, and held it steady with his hands, "This is it."

"Samoto, have you noticed anything strange?" As Uehara expected, this was indeed not an ordinary accident, but someone had tampered with it. Looking at the fracture that was obviously too flat, Uehara handed the board to Samoto, and he His brows were furrowed, and his forehead began to ache again. Troublesome things just came one after another.

"Why is there a problem?" Siben took the board in confusion and turned it left and right to see clearly.

Uehara picked up another wooden board and broke it with a strong click. "Siben, the fracture formed by external force is different from the one cut with a weapon."

"You mean, we have been targeted for a long time." Siben thought for a moment and came up with a deeper meaning.

"Yes, that's right." Uehara nodded, "Fortunately we didn't recruit sailors and boatmen, otherwise it would be even more trouble..."

Now that he has discovered the enemy's intentions, Uehara no longer has anything to worry about and just responds proactively.

"Samoto, since the cabin is flooded, it means that delaying our speed is beneficial to the enemy." Uehara has developed a habit. He likes to play something with his fingers whenever he thinks about it. For example, now, he uses his fingers to play on his head. There was a buzzing sound.

"The enemy is likely to chase us in the next two days. Our ship's hull is damaged, and the opponent is likely to be a very fast ship, so" Samoto pushed up his glasses and continued his analysis of Uehara's words.

"Abandon ship." "Abandon ship."

Uehara and Samoto said in unison. After speaking, they were stunned and smiled knowingly.

"But we haven't gone very far, so we're going to accelerate as hard as we can. We'll abandon the ship after we've gone far enough. Samoto, if we don't take the water route, how long will it take us to get back to the Land of Earth?" Uehara looked at it and took out the map and turned it over. I felt a little relieved after visiting Sacrifice. This guy is simply a living map. The original simple map has become extremely detailed under Uehara's witness and after Sacrifice's writing and drawing.

"My suggestion is to still go along the waterway," Siben gave the answer after thinking for a while, "I don't know how dangerous there will be in undeveloped areas. Many of the strange and strange beasts we arrested in the Earth Temple came from these areas. Undeveloped area, so"

"It's really troublesome." This was different from what Uehara thought, but when he thought about it, it seemed that the vegetation near the units' stations was not too dense, and there were some traces of human activities.

"Just do as you say, Samoto." Uehara made the final decision, "Abandon the ship and move along the waterway. The enemy is chasing after them in a hurry. If there are few in number, we will eat them. If they are invincible, we will not be able to defeat them." We have no choice but to walk all the way back to the Kingdom of Earth through the jungle, although there may be many unknown dangers." Patting Samoto's shoulder, Uehara walked out of the cabin and looked at the tents neatly stacked on the deck. , he couldn't help but feel lucky for his foresight. Without these tents, even a ninja wouldn't be able to survive camping in the wild for a long time.

"Everyone stops to rest, five shifts, move forward at full speed." After giving the order on the deck, Uehara was the first to pick up the long wooden oar and start rowing.

Rowing requires considerable skill, especially with as many as twenty oars. Looking at the teammates who were clearly out of rhythm, because their efforts were not in the same line, even though everyone tried their best, the speed was still worrying.

"Everyone, listen to me," Uehara said, "I know some rowing skills, so follow my instructions."

"Pull when you call one, pull away when you call two, prepare one, two, one, two." Under Uehara's order, everyone's movements gradually became more orderly, and everyone liked this atmosphere of unity and cooperation very much, and the more they shouted, the more energetic they became. . Everyone was lively and full of energy, but Uehara couldn't stand it anymore. Spider Maru likes to keep silent when fighting. When nothing happens, he will come up and yell at anything, and the sound like a broken gong even gets louder and louder. Uehara couldn't stand the trend anymore, so he handed the oar to the fat man with long physical strength and ignored it. Fatty is a guy who can row continuously all morning, and then as soon as he has something to eat, he will be active again.

Traveling at full speed, the speed is naturally very fast, but the cracks in the damaged bottom warehouse are even larger. The number of people scooping water has to be increased to two, one in the cabin and one on the deck. The two people cooperate and take one bucket at a time. Bring a bucket of water out. Uehara frowned when he saw it. There were no repairmen on the ship, and the reluctant repairs were obviously out of order, which made the ship leak more serious. Everyone had to stop repairing. Uehara had a premonition that in two days at most, the boat would be unusable. It would take ten days to travel against the current to get back to the Land of Earth. If the remaining eight days of the journey were to be walked on land and through the jungle, who knows how long it would take. How long does it take to get back?

The information Uehara obtained from Rain River was extremely important. Even though Konoha was at war on all sides, he still managed to pull out a sizable ninja force and secretly crossed the border between Konoha and Rain Country to head towards Iwa. Heading towards the camp. This is also a helpless move for Konoha, which is in a tight war situation, because among the personnel transferred there are many brats who have just graduated from the ninja school. Fortunately, the opponent was the always weak Iwa Ninja, and he was a remnant of the soldiers who had been killed by the Rain Ninja, so Konoha's senior officials agreed to this rather risky personnel transfer.

The day after Uehara and the others left by boat, several mysterious customers came to the underground black market in Shinano Town where Uehara had visited.

"Lord Shimura." Murakami nodded and bowed, respectfully holding a scroll to the Konoha ninja in black ninja uniform, "This is the ninjutsu we exchanged. Since the other party has ninjutsu, there is no doubt that he is a ninja. ”

Murakami secretly looked at the other party's obviously interested expression, and continued to speak very intelligently, "There are only three people who showed up, but we guess there may be more than three of them." At this point, Murakami took something out of his wide sleeve. Taking out a paper tube, "They purchased a large amount of supplies and had as many as nineteen camping tents, so we thought they should have nineteen people, or nineteen ninjas. They left by boat, and we secretly destroyed their tents." Boat"

"Bring it here." The ninja known as Shimura said in a cold tone, and stretched out his hand in front of Murakami's pheasant without any respect, and his fingertips almost touched his nose.

Murakami was stunned, and then quickly rolled up the paper tube. He also chose to offer a small paper tube with both hands, being too humble.

"There are so many wound medicines." Shimura's eyes flashed. "The other party must have seriously injured people." After a cursory glance at the beginning, Shimura was not interested in reading any more. He didn't think that a group of ordinary people could collect anything valuable. Intelligence, if ordinary people can do what only ninjas can do, then why would a ninja do it? In fact, if he pays more attention and looks carefully enough, he will find valuable information, such as the ready-made clothes that Uehara and the others ordered. As many as one hundred and nine sets

"This technique is very good." Shimura threw the scroll in his hand. "I believe the clan leader will be very satisfied with your work. By the way," Shimura said, "Danzo-sama is preparing to form the root. You What's going on in the village?"

"Muraxia." Murakami was very happy to hear the news about his grandson and reminded him carefully.

"That's right, Murakami. That's the name. The first group of root members has his name." After saying that, he looked at Murakami's hands trembling with excitement. Shimura was quite disdainful. "Only the elite can enter." To get to the root of it, you have to thank Danzo-sama, the old man from the village."

Murakami was very excited. He didn't understand what the roots were. However, only elites can enter ANBU. That means Murakita must be an excellent ninja now and must have enough ability to protect himself. Murakita said sincerely Be happy for him.

"I'm going to take the liberty to ask." Murakami seemed to have thought of something, "Murakashi is not a Konoha ninja, so he can enter."

"They can definitely get into the root, so you don't have to worry about it." Shimura was a little angry. "Now, go and prepare the fastest boat for us, whether they are Iwa ninjas or not." He grinned and sneered, "Let's catch up. , sink them”
