Kanna-sama and the Ocean Sacrifice Ceremony

Haru was very suspicious that the extremely fast black shadow he found underwater was Kanna-sama they mentioned. However, he could not be sure. He was even more afraid of causing any misunderstanding. After all, he had almost given Kanna-sama to him. Cough cough!

"The Land of Whirlpools? I have heard of the related stories outside. Can you tell me more about this place? Oh, right, my name is Senju Haru. How should I address this big brother?"

The big guy seemed a little shy. He scratched his head and said, "My name is Yuma. I came here 20 years ago. I don't know much about the Land of Whirlpools. But if you are willing to listen, you can go to my house to rest. I see that your clothes are wet. If you don't mind, you can wear my clothes first."

"Brother Yuma is too polite. Thank you for your hospitality."

"It's fine, it's fine. There won't be many outsiders here in a year, so everyone is very curious about the outside world."

Haru instantly understood and smiled. "Then you've asked the right person. I'll talk to you later."

A simple and honest smile appeared on Yuma's face, and he even felt a little embarrassed.

Soon, Haru returned home with the other party and changed into the clothes here.

After chatting for a long time, he patted his head and remembered to come and cook to entertain the guests.

Through this simple-minded man, Haru's understanding of the Land of Whirlpools.

Of course, there were more doubts.

For example, according to Yuma, although he could see the sea on this island, he could not reach the outside world at all.

Only through the gatekeeper, which was Kanna-sama, could he pass through.

This reminded him of the three Hidden Sage Lands that existed in the real world and had its own independent fantasy world!

One had to know that the three Hidden Sage Lands, Mount Myouboku, Ryuchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest, apart from using the Reverse Summoning Technique to go there, were also able to find the entrance to the outside world to reach the Sage Land.

However, this way, they would become fated people, or only those who passed the test would be able to step into the true immortal land.

Even if the remaining people found the entrance, they would not be able to enter.

Doesn't it sound a bit familiar?

Wasn't it the same as when Haru wanted to enter but couldn't?

This involved a space problem. When it didn't exist, everything was illusory and couldn't be entered. But when it existed, everything would become real again.

Therefore, it could be interpreted as a few small illusionary realms that were connected to the real world.

Now, Haru suspected that this so-called land was an independent illusory realm like the three Hidden Sage Lands.

If he hadn't forced the black shadow to open the illusion realm to solve the crisis behind him, he might not have been able to enter.

Then there was an even more confusing question. What was this Kanna-sama? What was his purpose?

Why did he need to praise the God of the Sea if he wanted to enter the Land of Whirlpools?

Was this Kanna-sama the God of the Ocean?

However, Yuma had clearly said before that this Kanna-sama was only the gatekeeper, so how could the gatekeeper be the respected God of the Sea?

There was also the annual Ocean Sacrificial Ceremony. Yuma said that it was a carnival of the sea, and that day would be very lively. Moreover, it would open the 'gate' at a random time, allowing people from the outside to come in, or people from the inside to go out.

Of course, under normal circumstances, people from the outside wanted to come in, but people from the inside rarely wanted to go out.

After all, it was so chaotic outside that they didn't have to worry about food and drink in the Land of Whirlpools. Only fools would go outside to suffer!

Haru instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this Ocean Sacrificial Ceremony. Generally, in those movies and TV dramas, this thing would acted like this. They usually disguised themselves well, and then when a certain day came, they would tear off their hypocritical masks and reveal their ferocious fangs.

Maybe Yuma and the others had been brainwashed a long time ago.

But now, Haru could only obtain information through the other party, such as the surrounding maps, the nearby villages, and the temple located in the center.

He needed to explore these places one by one.

Otherwise, even if he found Uzumaki Clan's survivors, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.

After all, this kind of thing sounded quite scary, and he didn't want to capsize in a ditch.

After eating the food sent by Yuma (checked), although Haru still wanted to ask a lot, the other people in the village had already gathered. It seemed that Yuma had promoted him.

Helpless, he could only follow everyone's strange questions and explain what the outside world had become.

Especially after mentioning that outside was still in a chaotic war where everyone was still fighting, Haru found that many people showed dark and disappointed expressions, and there were even people who sighed and said, "Thank you Lord God of the Sea for taking refuge. "

Haru could not help but ask, "Why are you so concerned about the situation outside? Isn't it good here? There is no danger, and there is no need to go through war."

Yuma could not help but sigh. "If possible, everyone is willing to live here for the rest of their lives. However, there are too few people on the island. In the past, there were many outsiders who came to live here every year. However, as time goes by, even during the annual Ocean Sacrificial Ceremony, there are very few outsiders."

"The fewer outsiders there are, the higher the chance of a deformed child being born, so everyone is very depressed."

Haru immediately understood!

Of course, living in such an isolated place had its benefits, but the same drawbacks were also very obvious.

Just the separation of close relatives and reproduction was enough to make the people on the island extinct sooner or later.

Therefore, the people here were looking forward to outsiders joining this big family. The more, the better. In any case, the resources here were very rich. No matter how many people there were, there was no need to fight for them. So naturally, there would not be any conflicts.

Then, Haru felt like crying and laughing. He was wondering why he had noticed from the beginning that the eyes of the big girl and the little girl were very strange when they looked at him.

At first, he thought that his appearance was too attractive, but now he finally understood that they wanted to use his seed to continue their descendants!

No wonder everyone here was so kind to him, and they regarded him as one of their own!

In fact, they would think this way. After all, if they could live happily and carefreely here for a lifetime, what was not good about it?

However, there was one thing that Haru had not figured out.
