Stone Rain of Konoha

After the bathhouse incident passed, the group began their journey to the Kingdom of Thunder again.But before that, we first boarded a luxuriously furnished merchant ship.Next, there will be more than two months of sea and land!This is also the longest mission Shi Yu has ever done.However, I have to say that Qianjin Trading Company is really rich!Just the person in charge of a branch has the authority to build such a luxurious commercial passenger ship!However, Shi Yu was not too surprised. As a man who had seen aircraft carriers on TV in his previous life, he would not be shocked by the passenger ship here.However, this is not necessarily the case for the other three people who have never seen the world.Seeing the three fat men and the two girls who pretended not to care, but actually kept looking at the scenery around the deck, Shi Yu shook his head speechlessly. "Ishiame-kun has made a boat like this before?" Namikaze Minato on the side saw Kuroba Ishiame and looked like he was lamenting that others had never seen the world.Then he asked curiously.This made Shi Yu choke. How had he ever worked on a commercial passenger ship?It's just that the information in the past life is too advanced to be surprised by such a ship. "No, but my ability to accept is very strong. Minato, have you done this before?" Shiyu couldn't answer directly, so he had to turn around and throw the question to Namikaze Minato. "Ah! I spent some time traveling with Jiraiya-sensei before and did the same thing." Minato Namikaze scratched the back of his head and laughed.Damn it, even a native has more knowledge than a noble time traveler like me, Mr. Shi!It’s just a shame!Pointing to a stall selling takoyaki on the deck that wasn't included, he gestured to Minato Namikaze and asked, "Let's go have lunch first." "But it's not noon yet?" "It doesn't matter if you eat early. , I'm already hungry." "Okay." Then, two figures, one black and one yellow, walked towards the vendor selling takoyaki.The boss was a kind-looking old woman. After the two of them sat down, Shi Yu said to the old woman: "Madam boss, here are 20 octopus balls. I also want some chili sauce and ketchup." "Me too. ..." "Okay, two guests, please wait a moment." The old man smiled very gently, making the two of them feel very friendly unconsciously, but when he lowered his head and was busy making octopus balls, there was a flash in his eyes. The loneliness that passed by was also clearly seen by Shi Yu.Then, as if nagging, the old woman told the two of them: "No one has called me this for a long time?" Shi Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face: "The boss lady doesn't like others to call you this. Is that so? I'm afraid that calling you mother-in-law might make you unhappy." Hearing such thoughtful words, the old woman smiled rarely, the kind of happy smile she hadn't shown for a long time, and then said: " That's not true, I'm not that kind of pretentious woman!" Then he asked casually: "The guest is not from the Kingdom of Fire, right?" Shi Yu was a little confused and confused and asked: "Then you can I guessed wrong. I am an authentic Fire Nation person." The old man raised his head at this time and said with some surprise: "Fire Nation people are not very used to spicy food. The customer asked me if I wanted so much chili sauce. The old woman thought that the guest was from the Bird Country." At this time, Shi Yu and Namikaze Minato did not wear Konoha forehead protectors, so the old man did not know that they were from Konoha Village.At this time, Shi Yu felt that what the woman said was a little strange, so he tentatively asked, pretending to be casual: "Madam, aren't you from the Kingdom of Fire? Then why are you doing business on the merchant ships of the Kingdom of Fire?" What?" When Shi Yu asked this question, the loneliness in the woman's eyes was clearly revealed and she sighed: "Oh, it's the owner of this caravan who is kind enough to take in this useless old woman like me. , I can only sell some snacks on this boat to repay the boat owner." At this time, Namikaze Minato also felt that something was very wrong!From what the old woman said, you can guess that the old woman is from the country of birds.But he is living in the Country of Fire. You must know that the Country of Fire is very safe now and there are no bandits!Moreover, the current policy of the Fire Nation is to welcome businessmen from other countries to do business here, and the protection and treatment provided are also very high!However, this old woman was trapped here and could only end up being taken in as a beggar.Shi Yu also frowned at this time and looked at Namikaze Minato, and Namikaze Minato also looked over with the same expression as Shi Yu.The two looked at each other and nodded to each other as if they had reached a consensus. Minato Namikaze showed an extremely friendly smile and said to the old woman: "Old man, do you have any difficulties now? Can you come with us? We are actually The ninja of Konoha Village. We are investigating the situation in this area nearby. If there is anything we can help you with, you can just come with us." When he heard that the other party was the ninja of Konoha Village in the Country of Fire, the old man seemed to Suddenly he saw hope and said excitedly: "You two are indeed the ninja masters of Konoha Village. Old lady, I really..." Before he could finish his words, he was about to stand up and bow to the two of them.Shi Yu dared to get up quickly, helped the old woman aside and said, "You are an elder, how can I ask you to give such a great gift? We are not high-ranking officials..." Seeing the two people being so cordial, the old man also sighed. Said: "If the two ninja masters want to hear the old woman's story, as long as you don't mind the old woman's verbosity..." Seeing an old man who was so respectful to the two of them, the two of them were a little embarrassed and waved their hands quickly. : "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it! You, let's listen carefully." The old man was also extremely grateful, and then said: "Actually, my old man and I have been doing business in the Country of Fire for almost ten years. Until half a year ago, I don’t know why? I followed my old man, and I was just doing business, and I didn’t make much profit, so I could only stay in some large caravans.” The old woman paused, as if remembering some tragic incident, and her eyes were kind. Her eyes were filled with mist, and then she heard her slightly hoarse voice say: "Until half a year ago, for some reason, in this area, caravans from the Country of Fire to the Country of Birds had frequent accidents. ! My old man was also buried in this sea, and I was the only one who survived..." Although the old woman was a little wordy, Shi Yu and the two listened very seriously, and Shi Yu didn't ask until the woman stopped. : "Can you explain it in detail? It's impossible for us not to know about such a big thing?" "Alas... It's normal for the two adults not to know, because these things did not happen in the local waters of the Country of Fire, but It happened at the junction of the waters of the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Fire. The strangest thing is! Not all merchant ships will have this situation. Some merchant ships can even pass through this sea area unscathed. Some merchant ships can even pass through this sea area unscathed. As soon as a merchant ship enters the waters of Bird Country, the whole ship will sink inexplicably. My old man also died in that inexplicable shipwreck. I was rescued by a passing merchant ship! That is, The merchant ship I am currently on. The reason why the old woman knows so clearly is because the old man and I have seen this situation more than once. In the past, we just thought it was a normal accident. It was not until we experienced it ourselves that we regretted it. ..." As she continued, the old woman shed tears when she reached the point of sadness.The two looked at each other, and finally Namikaze Minato said: "Then, how do you want us to help you?" Looking at the two enthusiastic guys, the old woman pointedly said: "There is no need, the old woman has no son. Without a daughter, my life now is barely comfortable. I just hope that if you two adults are capable, you can find out the cause of this series of accidents... If it can be solved and prevent more tragedies, that would be great..." Hearing the old woman coming like this, the two of them immediately stood in awe!Although some people are born ordinary, their hearts are exceptionally strong!This kind of power is much more shocking than the superficial power!Although the octopus balls were very delicious, the two of them still hurriedly swallowed them.When it was time to pay Zhang, the old man refused, so the two of them forced themselves back, even bowed slightly and left!Looking at Namikaze Minato, Shi Yu said: "This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface! There must be someone behind the scenes!" "Yes! It can't be such a coincidence! Why do some caravans die when they cross the border, while some caravans die no matter what? Nothing will happen when traveling through this sea area? I have a feeling that our trip this time will not be so smooth!" Namikaze Minato also held his chin with his fingers and replied thoughtfully. "Take this matter to the captain! It's better to be prepared when encountering a situation!" "Yeah!" The two people, who are both resolute and resolute in everything they do, without any hesitation, pulled everyone in the team together after half a quarter of an hour. , and explained the situation in detail to everyone in the team.Hearing that there was such a strange situation in this sea area, Yueguang Liufeng frowned and then said to everyone in the team: "There is something fishy about this matter, so be it! Everyone spread out and go to various parts of the merchant fleet, Find out some information! It’s best to be more detailed and compare the information obtained by each to see if there is anything fishy in it!” “Yes!” The five people in the team replied in unison, and then disappeared into the merchant ship. Various densely populated areas.Only Moonlight Liufeng still stood there, thinking about this issue. Looking at the full moon that had climbed above his head, a bad premonition came to his heart...
