Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Director Ito is not a samurai, but just an ordinary person, so his speed is slow. And from Sakura Castle to Kurashi Port on the seaside is still some distance for ordinary people.

After Director Ito came out of the Sakura Chamber of Commerce, he took me to the east and explained, "There is a carriage shop in the east of the city. We can hire a carriage to go to Cangzhou Port and arrive in about half a day."

I nodded: "Then I'll trouble Director Ito."

The director who is able to be in charge of a single caravan is one of the top five most powerful figures in the entire Sakura Chamber of Commerce. Such a person will basically not be responsible for the specific arrangements of the fleet. It was only for Okisuke's sake that Ito personally accompanied me to the Kurashi Port and arranged my appearance.

"It is my honor to serve Lord Hinata." After all, the ninja world is still a world where strength is respected. With my status as a Konoha jonin, I am still a distinguished guest even without Okisuke's introduction.

During the conversation, we came to the carriage and horse shop in the east of the city. Ito went straight to the owner behind the counter and put some silver on the table: "A carriage, leaving now to Cangzhou Port."

The owner of the carriage and horse shop obviously recognized Ito, who was a senior executive of the Sakura Chamber of Commerce, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Director Ito, please wait a moment, I will arrange it right away."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the counter and led Ito to look at the rows of carriages behind him: "How big a carriage does Director Ito need? How many people are traveling?"

"I'm accompanying Lord Hinata to the port of Kurashima. It's just the two of us, so let's arrange a four-seater carriage." Ito looked around the rows of carriages for a while and pointed to a carriage with two horses and four seats. "Find an experienced driver who is familiar with the road. I'm in a hurry today."

The owner of the carriage shop nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Director Ito. I will definitely arrange for an experienced person to run this route for you."

After the boss finished speaking, he called out to the many drivers who were resting in the shed: "Ichiro, it's time to work."

A middle-aged man with an honest face heard the call from the coachman's boss, stood up and trotted over.

The boss introduced Ito: "Ichiro has worked for me for more than 20 years. He mainly manages the routes east of Sakura Castle. He knows all the intersections here and will definitely be able to meet the needs of Director Ito."

After that, he turned to Ichiro and said, "Director Ito is going to Kurashi Port and will leave immediately. You will drive."

Seeing that I had no objection, Ito agreed to the boss's arrangement and invited me to get on the carriage beside him. After seeing that I was seated firmly, he also got in and sat down, indicating that Ichiro could drive.

Facts proved that the owner of the carriage company was not exaggerating. Ichiro drove the two-horse carriage at a fast but very steady speed. It took less than two hours to travel from Sakura Castle to Kurashima Port, which was a little faster than Ito had expected.

The Cangzhou Port is located in the southeast corner of the Iron Kingdom, across the sea from the Hot Spring Kingdom. It is considered to be the largest maritime trade port in the Iron Kingdom. You can feel the sea breeze as soon as you approach it.

Ito sent the driver to find a place to stay first. After arranging my affairs, Ito still needed to return to Sakura Castle.

After that, Ito took me to the Kurashi Port. As the base of the largest ocean fleet in the Iron Country, there are many large ships docked at the dock here.

Ito pointed to three medium-sized ships that were dozens of meters long and a dozen small boats around them and said, "This is the fleet that other chambers of commerce have rented this time. It is also of medium size. Lord Hinata can go out to sea with this fleet."

I nodded and asked, "Are there any formalities required?"

Director Ito waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency is a friend of Lord Okisuke, so why would you make it so complicated? I will immediately go and tell the captain and the samurai in charge of the fleet's escort, and you can go aboard directly."

Director Ito led me to one of the large ships and shouted to the sailors on board: "I am Director Ito of Sakura Chamber of Commerce. Who is the captain of this ship? I have something to ask him."

The Sakura Chamber of Commerce is still very famous. When the sailors on the deck heard Ito's call, they looked at each other and went into the cabin to inform the captain.

Soon two men came out of the cabin. One had a weather-beaten face, dressed in cloth, and holding a nautical chart in his hand. He should be the captain. The other was a young man with a long sword on his waist. He should be the warrior who was escorting them this time.

When the two saw Ito, they quickly lowered the rope and got off the boat. They walked up to Ito and asked, "Director Ito, I am the captain of this ship, and this is the escort, Lord Yagyu. May I ask what instructions Director Ito has?"

Ito didn't waste any words, pointing at me and said: "This is Lord Hyuga of Konoha, a friend of Lord Okisuke. He has something to do in the Land of Water, and happens to be taking his own fleet."

The captain and the samurai named Yagyu turned to look at me and said, "No problem. There are still some goods that have not arrived. We expect to set off at noon tomorrow. Mr. Hyuga can go aboard and rest for a night."

Director Ito nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you to entertain Lord Hinata."

After that, he turned to me and said, "If there is anything you need, Hinata-sama, just tell them. I will take my leave now."
