*****

Time passed like sand.

After attending the welcome ceremony that day, it was about a week later.

Suzuki also went to attend the funeral of the ninjas who died in the Second Ninja War.

Then it was a period of plain daily life in the ninja school.

The clone also returned once.

He brought back some books from Ohara, and Suzuki would also flip through them from time to time.

This morning, he trained with the young Might Guy as usual.

There was also a Might Duy.

The future Uchiha clan's land after relocation, the lake at the edge of Konoha.

The three of them completed the same training as usual and also sat on the ground with sweat.

Suzuki rested for a while, came to the lake and washed his face, and then looked at the Might father and son who were wearing the distinctive green tights.

He smiled gently and said:

"Uncle Duy, and Guy, I'm going back to the ninja school first."

Might father and son heard Suzuki's words, both grinned and showed a mouthful of shiny white teeth and then raised their thumbs together:

"Yo, okay! Go bravely, little Suzuki/Suzuki big brother!"

"..."

Suzuki was speechless.

He saw this scene every day since he trained with this father and son.

So, as usual, he smiled and replied:

"Okay, you guys work hard too!"

Hearing Suzuki's encouraging words, Might father and son suddenly hugged each other and cried:

"Woo woo woo, Guy/Father! Our youth has been recognized by others again!"

"..."

Suzuki was already used to this.

He waved to the Might father and son, and quickly left the training ground at the edge of Konoha.

This father and son were rare people who could cross the boundary between humans and monsters without relying on the Otsutsuki bloodline.

Although it was only a moment, it was amazing.

But that special taste was really unbearable.

Like when he first trained together, Might Duy always tried to sell him his green tights.

When he entered the class at the ninja school, Suzuki and Hanako greeted:

"Hanako, good morning!"

Hanako came to school very early every day and was holding a medical book and watching it carefully.

Hearing Suzuki's daily greeting, she also quickly raised her petite and cute face and smiled back at Suzuki:

"Good morning, Suzuki-chan~"

Suzuki smiled, sat back in his seat, and also picked up a book, and started watching.

It just happened that he had nothing to do in the ninja school, and he also helped the clone study by the way.

He didn't sit for a while, and when he was close to class, Suzuki sensed the memory of the clone, and a ripple appeared in his eyes. The clone finally reached the top of the west sky.

...

On the other side, the pirate world, the West Sea.

A small wooden boat stopped in place, and the clone Suzuki was standing on the bow looking forward.

On the magnificent sea, a towering mountain peak stood quietly!

The natural wonders are amazing!

It was like a pillar of heaven, connecting the sea and the sky!

There were layers of white clouds at the half-mountain, surrounding the mountain peak in a circle.

It also blocked the higher mountain top, just looking from a distance, made people feel the shock in their hearts!

On the small wooden boat, Suzuki also finally felt what was real, pure sky-high and sea-wide.

He was about ten kilometers away from this mountain peak.

At such a distance, looking at this ten-thousand-meter-high mountain, it even made people feel that even if the sky really collapsed, it would be held up by it.

It is worthy of being at the top of the west sky!

For a long time, Suzuki stopped the gaze of appreciation.

After watching it, he felt like he was a little bit light, and the heaviness and annoyance in his heart disappeared, and the world suddenly became clear.   

Suzuki's face also involuntarily showed a trace of relaxation and ease.

Then he drove the boat to the nearby floating cloud island.

He needed to stay here for a while and wait for the day when the top of the west sky and the sky island were connected.

This island is not much different from what the fat boss of the transportation company said, it is the closest island to the top of the west sky.

Suzuki arrived at the floating cloud island in less than half an hour.

The port of Floating Cloud Island was not as big as Ohara's, nor as lively.

When Suzuki arrived at the port, he didn't encounter any guides, and there were only a few vendors who came to sell goods.

It can be seen that there are not many people who come to this island, but not many. Most of the port is still local people.

Unlike Ohara, the natural scenery of the top of the west sky is really nothing to the people of the pirate world.

They want to see, that there are plenty of places that are not worse than the top of the west sky, and even more amazing and spectacular.

At this time, these people just glanced at Suzuki, and then ignored him. As long as they were not pirates, they didn't want to care too much.

As for selling goods, to be honest, they felt that they had nothing good here.

At most, there are more hotels and restaurants.

Except for being close to the top of the west sky, this island itself is plain.

Suzuki walked calmly among the crowd and occasionally paid attention to the conversation of the people next to him.

He wanted to know more about the situation of this island and the top of the west sky.

But he soon found out that the people here didn't seem to care much about the top of the west sky.

They only talked about some trivial things, such as the weather, the crops, the fishing, and so on.

Suzuki felt a bit bored and decided to find a place to stay first.

He walked around the port and saw a sign that said "Floating Cloud Inn".

He thought it was a good name and walked in.

The inn was not very big, but it was clean and tidy.

There was a middle-aged woman at the counter, who greeted Suzuki warmly:

"Hello, young man, do you need a room?"

Suzuki nodded and said:

"Yes, please. How much is it for a night?"

The woman smiled and said:

"It's 100 berries for a night, including breakfast and dinner. We have the best food on the island, you won't regret it."

Suzuki thought it was a reasonable price, and took out 100 berries from his pocket and handed it to the woman.

The woman took the money and gave Suzuki a key.

She said:

"Your room is on the second floor, number 12. If you need anything, just call me. My name is Lina, I'm the owner of this inn."

Suzuki thanked her and went upstairs.

He opened the door of room 12 and entered.

The room was simple but cozy, with a bed, a table, a chair, and a window.

Suzuki put his backpack on the bed and sat on the chair.

He took out a book from Ohara and started to read.

He wanted to learn more about the history and culture of this world.

He was fascinated by the book and didn't notice the time passing by.

He only realized it was evening when he heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw Lina standing outside.

She said:

"Hello, young man, dinner is ready. Do you want to come down and eat?"

Suzuki smiled and said:

"Sure, thank you. I'll be right there."

He put the book back in his backpack and followed Lina downstairs.

The dining hall was on the first floor, next to the counter.

There were several tables and chairs, and some guests were already eating.

Lina led Suzuki to a vacant table and said:

"Please sit down, I'll bring you the food."

Suzuki thanked her again and sat down.

He looked around and saw that the food looked delicious and smelled good.

There were fish, meat, vegetables, soup, bread, and fruit.

He felt his stomach growl and realized he was hungry.

He hadn't eaten anything since he left Ohara.

He waited for Lina to bring him a plate of food and a glass of water.

He said:

"Wow, this looks amazing. Thank you, Lina."

Lina smiled and said:

"You're welcome, young man. Enjoy your meal."

She left and went to serve other guests.

Suzuki picked up a fork and knife and started to eat.

He was surprised by how good the food tasted.

It was fresh, tender, juicy, and flavorful.

He ate with gusto and soon finished his plate.

He felt satisfied and happy.

He drank some water and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He looked up and saw Lina coming back.

She said:

"How was it, young man? Did you like it?"

Suzuki nodded and said:

"It was wonderful, Lina. You're a great cook."

Lina blushed and said:

"Thank you, young man. You're very kind."

She paused and then asked:

"By the way, what's your name? I don't think you told me."

Suzuki smiled and said:

"My name is Suzuki. I'm a traveler."

Lina said:

"Suzuki, huh? That's a nice name. Where are you from?"

Suzuki said:

"I'm from a faraway place. You probably haven't heard of it."

Lina said:

"Oh, really? That's interesting. What brings you to this island?"

Suzuki said:

"I'm here to see the top of the west sky. I heard it's a magnificent sight."

Lina said:

"Oh, the top of the west sky. Yes, it is indeed magnificent. But you know, it's not easy to get there. You need a special ship and a special way to go up."

Suzuki said:

"I know, I've done some research. I'm waiting for the right time to go up."

Lina said:

"I see. Well, I hope you can make it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Suzuki said:

"Thank you, Lina. I appreciate your hospitality."

Lina said:

"You're welcome, Suzuki. It's my pleasure to have you here."

She smiled and said:

"Well, I'll leave you alone now. If you need anything, just let me know. Have a good night, Suzuki."

Suzuki said:

"Good night, Lina."

Lina left and Suzuki stayed at the table for a while.

He looked out the window and saw the top of the west sky in the distance.

He felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

He couldn't wait to see what was up there.

He got up and went back to his room.

He took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

He fell asleep soon, dreaming of the sky island.

"Hahaha, Alif, how was the fishing today?"

"Hehe, today's harvest was not bad, I'll send you one later!"

"Hey, who's throwing garbage around? Next time I see you, I'll kill you!"

"Ferga, don't chase! I really just sleepwalked to your house by accident..."

"I heard that the Binks wine at the Phil's tavern is on a big discount today!"

"What are you waiting for, let's go, drink together!"

"Aren't you afraid of your wife"

"."

The voices were noisy, but Suzuki didn't collect any useful information from these messy words.

But he was just observing the surrounding environment out of habit.

He wanted to figure out when it was safe to go up to the top of the west sky, and when the connection with the sky island would appear.

Without much hesitation, he went straight to the inn.

The tavern was crowded, but it was not suitable for asking carefully, and the innkeeper also knew a lot.

In a while, in an inn similar to a homestay.

Suzuki was chatting happily with the boss.

"Yes, yes, that's right, next week!"

"Here, at the end of every month, the clouds at the half-mountain of the top of the west sky will disperse, and then there will be a large piece of white cloud sea in the sky."

"It looks so beautiful!"

"Some people have said that it is the sky island."

"But young man, I've been here for so many years, and I've seen a lot of people say they want to climb up, but I haven't seen them come back later!"

"It's not a joke, that mountain is at least 10,000 meters above sea level!"

"If you're not careful, don't say sky island, you can't even get down the mountain!"

"Really, you just stay here for a few days, isn't the scenery good?"

"Let me tell you, my inn is really cost-effective, and it includes three meals, and you can wake up every morning..."

The innkeeper said some things about the top of the west sky and the sky island after Suzuki came in and said he wanted to know about the top of the west sky.

After advising Suzuki not to do stupid things, the topic gradually moved towards selling.

So, Suzuki took out a thousand berries from his pocket and stuffed it into the innkeeper's hand.

Then he looked at the innkeeper calmly and asked earnestly:

"Then, please tell me the specific situation of the top of the west sky!"
