For an ordinary person, ninja is naturally expert.

If this ninja is still Jonin, nothing needs to be said. Most places in Land of Fire can be walked unhindered.

Niigata is such a small port especially so.

Tatsumi and Kushina have shown their identities. Not only are the troubles gone, even the ship problem is easily solved.

2nd day, the two reappeared at the port.

The attitude of Chief-In-Charge this time is not as perfunctory as yesterday, but rather respectful.

"Welcome Lord-Ninja to come again."

"Where are the ships ready?"

"Stop here, I will take you there "

Tatsumi originally thought it was just a wooden boat, leaning on oars, but after seeing it, I realized that I was thinking too much.

Although the boats are not big, their styles tend to be modern yachts.

Except for the cockpit on the 1st floor, there is a large space behind it for tents. There is also a ladder at the back, which can be used to climb up to the second floor and enjoy the rare sea breeze.

If it wasn't for the absence of sea near Konoha, he would want to buy this ship back.

Previous life didn't have the opportunity to be a yacht, but I did what I wanted in Naruto World. This is really...

Tatsumi sighed, and at the same time, I have a firm belief in my heart: when everything is solved, Just go out and travel around Ninja World and enjoy life.

"Only a fool is a ninja."

...

The captain's name is old Kiko, and he is almost sixty.

He ran into the sea for a lifetime. If it weren't for the Land-of-Whirlpools war that turned this once pure land into ruins, he would probably go to dim-sighted from old age. When he can't recognize the road, he will end his life like a child in the ocean by returning to the ocean.

Old Kiko hasn't touched a ship for several years. In his dream, he had held the rudder countless times, but when he finally woke up, he was in the rest area of ​​the harbor.

There are many old fellows who are like him, because they are too old to continue driving, but are unwilling to give up their profession.

This time, the Chief-In-Charge of Minato has done a good thing.

Whether it is to the employer or to him.

Old Kiko took a sip of the gourd filled with wine, while feeling the hot wine spreading down her throat, she recognized the route in front of her.

For him who has been drinking all year round, alcohol is more often just a booster, rather than something that harms the human brain and affects human consciousness.

If this were not the case, Tatsumi would not let him be abandon all restraint when sailing.

Old Kiko was alone in the cockpit, while Tatsumi and Kushina came to the second floor.

The second floor is the same as the one I just saw on the shore. While leaving the same large open space, there is also a cabin.

Tatsumi opened the small door that was not locked, only to realize that it was not a place to sleep, but was filled with various foods.

Several boxes of incubators filled with ice cubes are placed in the most opaque ones. Don't even think about it or know that it must be full of meat.

In addition to this, there are a lot of packaged vegetarian food.

Tatsumi laughed and closed the wooden door.

"Port Chief-In-Charge prepared very thoughtfully."

...

...

From Land of Fire It takes about four days from the port area to Land-of-Whirlpools.

At night, after dropping the anchor, the whole boat floated quietly on the water.

A lot of ingredients have been placed on the grill, and under the repeated roasting of charcoal fire, bursts of attractive aroma are emerging.

Kushina and Tatsumi are sitting in Kinoe's class, enjoying the night quietly.

In all fairness, sailing is actually quite boring.

After watching the unchanging sea with Kushina for a while, Tatsumi can only stare boredly at the unripe barbecue.

It was Kushina who was very interested in these waves, staring silently without a sound.

Maybe it seems that the sea in front of me is thinking of something, and Tatsumi did not bother her.

bang bang bang.

The clear sound of footsteps came from behind, making people involuntarily look over.

The door of the cab was opened. Old Kiko, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a black cap, walked to the center of the Kinoe board funny.

Tatsumi threw a small pot of sake to the past, and Kiko took it and sat down by the fire.

Old Kiko opened the cap of the bottle and sniffed, then took another gulp full, taking a breathless breath.

"old fogey, it's my first time to taste Konoha's wine."

"It's nothing special."

"It's not the same, this is Lord- Ninjas drink wine."

Tatsumi laughed and asked: "I'm curious, it seems that Senior, you don't seem to be short of money, you are also very old, why would you agree to go to sea?"

You must know that navigation is a dangerous industry. If you are not careful, the entire army may even be wiped out, and this possibility is not low.

There are also mysterious offshore kings and frequent storms in the ocean. If you are not careful, you will sink into the ocean.

Tatsumi thought it was because of poverty, but Kiko's clothes are not too poor.

Old Kiko said with a smile: "I went to be a sailor fourteen years old. I have been in this business for 40 years, and I have no children. Even if something goes wrong, it will be fine.

And didn't you have Lord-Ninja? There must be nothing wrong. In that case, it's great to set a boat to pursue the excitement, wouldn't it be great?"

"Excitement..."

"Yes, in the sea, all worries are gone, you will feel free and unconstrained, there is no more free time than now."

The sea breeze keeps blowing, old Kiko Standing up, leaning on the fence of the Kinoe board, gently blowing the bagpipe, mixing with the chirping of seagulls into a beautiful movement.

"Freedom?" Tatsumi looking thoughtful.

He opened the hip flask and met Kushina who was recovering listening to the bagpipes.

"A cup for freedom, a cup for death." Youngster's eyes drifted far away along the waves of the sea.

I don't know why, the sake goes down the throat into the abdomen, leaving between the lips and teeth is a kind of slightly drunk aroma, Kushina suddenly feels better.

At this moment, Tatsumi stood up suddenly, facing the sea, the sea breeze brought a fishy aura.

This is the smell of the sea.

"It's really fishy and salty."
