The island where Satoru is located is in an inland sea between the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass.

Because of the unique geographical location of the two neighboring countries, one south and one north. Therefore, the country of rain in the south rains all year round and is full of swamps, while the country of grass in the north has less water and the grass is green.

Sometimes, the magic of nature is just that.

Among them, the land country in the west will not be talked about for the time being, but this time I will first talk about the land of fire in the east of the inland sea.

The Land of Fire massif, which borders the Inland Sea, is an ancient forest. According to the dating of the Fire Nation officials, the trees in this forest are at least a thousand years old.

Thousands? The Land of Fire is only a thousand years old. In the land of fire, centuries-old trees can be said to be everywhere. However, trees that are thousands of years old can be said to be rare.

A poet with the surname of Zhou once said: "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, a thousand years of tree spirits." "Whether it's a gimmick of a tree spirit or the value of scarcity, the value of this forest is enough to make people act for it.

As a result, a merchant contracted this forest in order to sell the thousand-year-old tree for a large price. However, the strange thing is that every ninja who commissioned to dig the tree has disappeared mysteriously and mysteriously.

The disappearance of a ninja is naturally not a trivial matter. In order to find out the truth of the matter, the businessman, who contracted the forest, went to the forest with a group of ninjas. Then ......, there was no then, and all those who entered the forest were lost in the endless white mist of the forest.

"Eh~, is this the legendary White Mist Forest?" Pillar looked at the forest filled with white mist not far ahead, and said in a tone with a hint of strangeness.

"En~, that's right!" He checked the map in his hand and said affirmatively.

"Do you think that legend is true or false?" Pillar asked.

"It should be a real ......," he said, standing in the distance of the White Mist Forest and looking at it, "That's something that happened in recent years, so the authenticity will be very high." According to the legend, there are only two possibilities here. ”

"What are the two possibilities?" This time, not only the pillars, but also the other clansmen were a little curious.

"First, it's inhabited by a ninja beast that can unleash illusions. If this is the case, then the previous ones disappeared because they invaded its territory. ”

"And the second?" Pillar asked.

"Second, there are hostile ninjas who attack them. Because there were no witnesses, the attack was considered missing. Speaking of this, Kazuma touched his chin and said his conclusion: "My inclination is the first. ”

Subsequently, he gave his reasons. "If that incident happened recently, then there is a high probability that it was indeed a hostile ninja operation. However, because that incident has been several years now, there has been no movement here. That's why I think it's the first possibility. ”

"Really?" Pillar frowned and said, "If we bypass this forest, do you think it's feasible?" ”

"Bypass?" He groaned, then looked at the map and said, "No! If we get around it here, then we will lose the best opportunity to complete this mission. The revitalization of the thousand-handed clan is estimated to be reduced to a talk forever. ”

"Whew~~", Zhu Jian exhaled deeply, and looked back at the clansmen with confused eyes.

"Let's go! Let's go through! If you meet that ninja beast ...... on the way, then it just so happens that our Thousand Hands Clan lacks a powerful psychic beast, doesn't we? When he said the last sentence, Tsuruma looked back at everyone and laughed.

"Hahahaha!" As if amused by Tsuruma's words, one of the ninjas of the Thousand Hands Clan laughed unconsciously. "That's right! If you encounter it, grab it and make it a psychic beast. ”

And these few words seemed to have become a chain reaction, arousing the laughter of all the clansmen except for the door.

"That's right! Grab it! ”

"That's right! Grab it! ”

In an instant, with a few words and his own personality charm, Zhuma eliminated the confusion of the clansmen about the future.

"Let's go!" The pillars took the lead.

And somewhere not far away, a young man with white hair and green eyes walked towards this place unhurriedly.

"Hmm~, according to the intelligence sources in the Fire Country, the Uchiha World should pass through here." The white-haired young man said to himself as he opened the map.

"That's right!" Looking at the map, he excitedly shouted: "This is probably the way to go!" Next, I just need a little patience......" he said, and he sat down cross-legged and began to close his eyes.

"Patriarch, come here!" The Uchiha Yandao at the Box of Bliss shouted to the world.

At this time, because of the alliance, the time of the day was almost noon.

"Hmm!" The world answered, and came to the box of bliss. "How? Is something wrong with the seal's work? ”

"yes!" Uchiha Yandao said helplessly: "I'm sorry! Maybe you won't be able to set off at noon, because this so-called "Box of Bliss" can't be sealed using conventional seals at all. ”

"Really?" The world was a little embarrassed and said: "But now we can't delay it anymore, we really can't do it, just make a wooden car to escort it!" ”

"But......" Uchiha Yandao hesitated, "the size of this box of bliss is also too large. If we were to bet on it along the way, our speed would be severely impaired. Because, it's not just a matter of a wooden car. The tracks needed for the car are all opened up by earth escape techniques. ”

"This is really ......", the world touched the box a little helplessly, and said, "If only this big guy could be smaller." ”

Then, what the other world didn't expect was that as soon as she uttered this grumble, the five-meter-high box of bliss in front of her instantly shrank by half.

This half is not half the volume, but half the size. According to the volume and length conversion formula, in fact, the Box of Bliss has shrunk to one-eighth of its previous size.

"This ......," the shocked Uchiha Yandao and the world glanced at each other. Then, tentatively, the world said, "If only this box had been a little smaller." ”

Unsurprisingly, as the world spoke again, the Box of Bliss shrank by half its length. Now, the Box of Bliss is only sixty-four times the size of its previous one.

"This is definitely not an ordinary magic weapon, this length is ......", Yan Dao looked at the box of Bliss that had been reduced to one meter and twenty-five in length, and also followed the world and said: "It would be nice if the box of Bliss was a little smaller." ”
