Chapter 64 I'm just a passing hero (please give me a monthly ticket~please read~)
Go back to the town and rent a boat.
Naruto and Xianglin rested for the night and waited until the next morning before setting off.
Yesterday's warning to Iwagakure was very effective.
A group of ninjas evacuated from the town.
The Country of Whirlpool is a small island not far from the shore.
After sailing on the sea for more than two hours, we arrived at an abandoned ferry.
The water is misty and a bit gloomy.
The pier extending on the water has been decayed and broken, leaving only some broken wooden boards that are barely hanging on.
They look fragile. Let alone stepping on them, a strong wind or heavy rain may cause them heavy losses.
"Has the Kingdom of Whirlpool been like this for so many years?" Naruto asked softly, staring at the dock.
The boatman didn't even look back: "Almost no one will come."
"I remember that this place seemed to be a country before."
"I don't know why it stayed overnight. Then it suddenly perished."
Speaking of this, the boatman paused: "I heard from the old people in the town that this country offended the God of Death and let him punish him and destroy this country."< br>
Naruto raised his eyebrows: "The God of Death? Why do you say it is the God of Death?"
The Country of Whirlpool is an island country.
Even in the eyes of ordinary people, the demise of this country is related to "gods".
The one that comes to mind should be "Poseidon".
"Hurricane", "Earthquake", "Volcano". These elements are all more reasonable than the appearance of "Death".
"I don't know either." The boatman shook his head, "That's what the old people in the village said."
Xiang Rin whispered: "My mother said that the Uzumaki clan used to have the custom of worshiping the God of Death."
“That’s how the rumor of being destroyed by the God of Death spread out.”
The boatman turned around and looked at Xianglin in surprise: “I remembered, I think I heard them say it before”
“In the past, most of the ninjas in that country had red hair.”
"Are you their descendant?"
Xiang Lin did not answer him and continued: "The demise of the Whirlpool Country was not because of the God of Death."
"It was because of the fear of ninjas from other countries. The sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. "In one night, they unite to destroy the country of Uzumaki, and even their allies Konoha cannot react."
The boatman nodded. , suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
"What great news."
He avoided the dock, threw a rope to tie the tree stump on the shore, and set up the raft. Naruto and Xiang Rin got off the boat and set foot on this land that once belonged to the "Uzumaki Clan" for the first time. land.
"Wait!" the boatman called to them.
The two looked back.
The boatman scratched his head: "Although you look very powerful."
"It's also related to ninjas and this perished country."
"But be careful."
"There are still some original residents on this island."
< br>"I also heard that some pirates live on this island."
Naruto smiled at him: "Thank you, uncle!"
The boatman watched them leave, then rocked the boat and returned.
On the island of Whirlpool Country.
The trees are tall, the bushes are thick, everything is full of life.
But there are not many traces of human life.
There is a solid trail leading from the pier to the island, but it has not been used or maintained for nearly twenty years, and weeds have grown over it, trying to encroach on it.
Follow the path forward and you will enter a town.
This place once relied on the port and its economy was prosperous.
But now there are only ruins and ruins, and the land is deserted.
"Do you want to find something here first?" Xianglin walked to the door of a half-collapsed house and peeked inside.
"Let's go find the Ninja Village first." Naruto shook his head.
Continuing forward, not long after leaving the town, I heard a burst of noise and panic not far away.
The two of them walked over and stepped on the tree.
The place where the sound came from was a simple settlement.
A house built with materials collected from the town.
A small village with only a few dozen people.
They are being plundered. The five pirates were holding knives they had obtained from unknown sources, and some were waving kunai and shurikens.
“Hurry up! Hand over all your food!”
“And money.”
“Otherwise you will die. ! ”
They are extremely arrogant.
There were only five people, but the entire village did not dare to resist.
The older one looked numb.
The young people and children wanted to resist, but they were held back by the adults.
"There are ninjas." Naruto whispered, his eyes falling on two of them.
The two men were not wearing ninja forehead protectors.
The aura of chakra is not very powerful, not even comparable to Haruno Sakura.
But there is no doubt that they are beyond ordinary people.
"Naruto wants to save them?" Xianglin tilted her head. She didn't care much about these people, she only cared about Naruto's opinion.
What responded to her was an arc drawn by golden light.
Naruto quietly intervened on the battlefield.
The five pirates suddenly froze with ferocious smiles, their bodies turned to stone, unable to move, only their eyes could move - this was the gap created by Naruto.
The five of them turned their eyes with difficulty, and their eyes fell on the blond hair.
Looking terrified.
A powerful ninja?
How could a character of this level appear on a small island like the Country of Whirlpool?
"Having stronger power, but only want to bully the weaker ones." Naruto whispered, his eyes scanning their faces, "It's really unforgivable."
He put his hand on On the hilt of "Kyuubi".
One inch out of the sheath.
Without liberating it, only using a trace of power.
Five translucent tailed beast hands emerged from the ground.
In the frightened, resisting, and begging for mercy eyes of those five people, there was no hesitation in crushing their throats.
Naruto looked back.
People in the village are cautious.
"Is it Ninja-sama?" An old man gathered in the center of the crowd spoke with a cautious tone, "Thank you, Ninja-sama, for saving our village."
He winked at the person next to him.
The man holding the money in his arms quickly ran to Naruto, knelt down in the "Tuxiaza" position, piously piled up the coins and pushed them to Naruto's feet.
The old man continued: "This is the only money our village has, as a reward for the ninja-sama for saving us."
"I hope the ninja-sama will not dislike it."
Although it is a pity to lose "money".
However, there are not many opportunities to use money on this island. In comparison, being able to keep food is already very good.
Xiang Lin suddenly landed on the ground and stood next to Naruto.
People in the village are more cautious.
Another ninja!
Naruto did not answer immediately, he was thinking about a question.
After a while, he smiled.
Hunch down from the pile of coins, pick up the two coins with the largest denomination, and put them into Xianglin's hands: "Let this be my reward for saving you."
"As for Ninja."
Naruto said softly but firmly: "We are not ninjas."
He paused and thought of a suitable description.
"I'm just a hero passing by by chance."
The old man was startled.
He stared at Naruto's face. Set against the golden hair, this cheerful smile was even more dazzling, as if the gloomy fog lingering on the island was instantly lifted.
Hero
Instead of ninja?
"Lord Hero, can you tell us your name?" he asked.
Naruto gave a thumbs up: "Just call me, Golden Flash, Uzumaki Naruto."
Xiang Rin chuckled: "Naruto, your naming ability and your aesthetic ability Quite a bit different."
"Golden Flash is very handsome!" Naruto smiled, "And that's my dad's nickname."
"I am also blond."
< br>
"It's obviously very suitable for me."
