What happened that night became a legend passed down through generations for most who witnessed it.

A ghost ship, a sea monster, and a powerful ninja.

It could be said to contain most of the elements that a maritime legend should have.

Perhaps in another ten years, it would still be sung by sailors at sea.

But for the protagonist of the story, Rosha.

At this moment, as he watched the ghost ship disappear before him and heard that soft thank you, his brow furrowed slightly.

"A coincidence?!"

Rosha didn't believe it. Although there are indeed many inexplicable coincidences in one's life, it was too coincidental that he encountered ghosts and ghost ships, which sailors rarely encounter, and even a sea monster, on his first day in this sea.

Especially that thank you!

It was as if the other party was coming for him.

It's just a pity that even if he had such doubts, he couldn't get any answers.

At this time, exclamations came from both ships. Whether it was the people in the merchant caravan or the sailors, they were all amazed by the power that Rosha displayed.

And Kawamatsu even made a request.

"Um, Mr. Rosha, can you give the sea monster's corpse to me? Don't worry, I won't take it for nothing. I can buy it with money."

Rosha also understood Kawamatsu's thoughts. Taking out such a sea monster corpse would be a great bragging right, and it could also be sold for a lot of money.

"No problem, but there's no need for money. In the future, Mr. Kawamatsu can just post more missions in our Sand Village."

Kawamatsu was overjoyed.

"Of course, all the escort missions for our caravan will be given to Sand Village from now on."

With the help of the sailors on the ship, the huge sea monster's corpse was dragged to the back of their large ship.

It looked quite spectacular.

After this incident, Mr. Kawamatsu was very excited and unwilling to rest. He just wanted to transport the huge sea monster's corpse to the Sea Country as soon as possible.

Because if it was any slower, the huge crab's corpse would be eaten by the attracted fish and shrimp in the sea.

In this way, a night of sailing made the original slow speed much faster.

By the afternoon of the next day, the Island of Oblivion was already close at hand.

--------------------------------------------------

Under the azure sky, on the calm sea.

On the deck of the merchant caravan's large ship, Kawamatsu pointed to the sea area in the distance, which was covered by a large expanse of dark clouds connecting the sky and the earth, and said.

"Mr. Rosha, please look, that is the sea area where the Island of Oblivion is located!"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Kawamatsu. Next, Wind Blade and Thunder Blade will escort you back to your country. Please rest assured that there is no problem with their strength."

Having obtained such a huge sea monster corpse for free, Kawamatsu said very happily.

"No problem, I have great trust in the strength of Sand Village ninjas. This ship will return about three or four days after sending us there, and it will also pass by here. At that time, Mr. Thunder Blade and Mr. Wind Blade can reunite with Mr. Rosha."

"Okay, thank you!"

So, the two sides said goodbye, and Rosha returned to his small boat.

"Well then, Mr. Otsu, I'll leave the rest to you!"

"Leave it to me!"

As Otsu steered the helm, the two ships adjusted their directions, and the single-masted sailboat Rosha bought headed straight for the dark clouds.

--------------------------------------------------

As soon as the sailboat approached the sea area where the dark clouds were, a gale swept across the sea.

Rosha instantly felt the power of nature.

In ninjutsu, the wind force that could be called an A-level Wind Release was just a strand in the myriad storms at sea here.

Lightning flashed in the dark clouds, each one no less than Lightning Release: Kirin.

"Boom..."

Fortunately, everyone on the ship was prepared.

Under Otsu's arrangement, each performed their duties, and they quickly entered the center of the dark clouds.

Instantly, both the storm and the lightning became even wilder.

The sea also began to surge, with waves of dozens of meters at every turn.

The small boat that Rosha and the others bought was like a leaf, wantonly ravaged by the sea.

Even Jonin with the power of Chakra would probably be swallowed if they fell into this violent sea.

Heavy rain poured down, making everyone feel as if they were in a water world.

"Rumble!"

"Mr. Otsu, how long will it take for us to pass through this storm..."

Rosha, who was already soaked all over, asked Otsu, who was working hard to control the helm.

Otsu looked at the direction.

"It will take another hour, Mr. Rosha. As long as there are no problems with the ship, we will definitely be able to hold on."

"I understand!"

Rosha didn't use ninjutsu to protect the ship.

Although he had indeed awakened the power of Wood Release now, he didn't have any intention of exposing it yet.

Because the meaning represented by Wood Release in this world was too special.

If it was exposed, the chain reaction it would cause might make Sand Village the enemy of the entire ninja world.

Currently, including Sand Village, there was only one person who knew that Rosha possessed Wood Release.

That was Hanataba.

Fortunately, according to Otsu's request, the ship he bought was indeed of good quality.

It was still very sturdy in such a storm.

In this way, after persisting in the dark clouds for more than an hour, the dark clouds in the front sea began to thin out.

Seeing this, Otsu shouted with joy.

"Mr. Rosha, we're coming out."

This made the exhausted Sand Lizard and Sand Hawk cheer up and look towards the distant sea.

As the dark clouds slowly dissipated, a golden sea appeared in everyone's sight.

And in the center of the sea, a huge volcanic island emitting white steam stood there.

"Is that the Island of Oblivion?"

Sand Lizard and Sand Hawk, who had drunk a bellyful of seawater, breathed a sigh of relief with pale faces.

As landlubbers on land, they definitely didn't want to experience such a life at sea a second time.

Rosha slowly took a few steps, walked to the bow of the ship, and looked at the distant huge island with his senses open.

Sure enough, there was also natural energy on this island, but it was not as concentrated as the Dragon Vein Chakra. It gushed out from the crater and dissipated throughout the entire island.

And just at this moment, accompanied by a loud cry, a huge eagle as big as a mountain appeared in everyone's sight, hovering above the volcanic island.

The size alone left everyone dumbfounded.

"So... so big!"

"Looks like we've come to the right place! Lord Rosha!"

"Yes."

Rosha nodded.

"Thank you, everyone. If there really are suitable summoning beasts on this island, you can give priority to choosing this time."

"Heh!"

Sand Lizard and Sand Hawk were both excited.

For a ninja, what a powerful summoning beast means is self-evident.

"Well then, Mr. Rosha, I won't accompany you any further. If you go further, it will be the territory of those giant beasts."

"Okay! Thank you for waiting for us here."

After saying that, he glanced at Sand Lizard and Sand Hawk and said.

"Rest for a while, then prepare to land on the island!"
