Chapter 23: Monsters
Naruto... Don't be fine, please... Don't be fine!
His nose was getting more and more sore, and at the bottom of the sea, it was impossible to tell whether Sasuke was crying or not, because the tears that had been shed had merged into these seawaters.
The red head also searched the bottom of the sea, but also found nothing...
Sasuke lowered his head and wanted to dive into the water to continue searching, but was pulled up by Red Bean, "With such a thick fog, it may be dangerous to continue searching, maybe he has escaped." ā
Sasuke had to give up, because he still believed in a miracle in his heart, and he didn't want to give up on this most important bond in his life anyway...
"I can only do this first, in short, start with the neighborhood first, and look for it when the time comes." Red Bean said.
Where am I? There is the sound of water flowing...
Slowly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him was very blurry, it was a girl. Draining the water and putting it on Naruto's forehead, he picked up the tub and walked outside, pushing the door shut... Naruto closed his eyes again and fell asleep...
It was already dawn, and the morning sun was shining half of the sky golden, and Sasuke opened the 3-magatama chakra to look for it, "Naruto doesn't seem to be around here anymore." ā
In the White Chrysanthemum Hotel, "I am the guard in charge of guarding the royal gold ship, and I am in the starfish. Now that the situation has been learned, you must be very worried that your companion's whereabouts are suddenly unknown. ā
The two of them sat upright on the tatami mats, "Then you guys have it, haven't you gotten any news?" ā
"Unfortunately, we have not heard anything about the victims so far."
"Really?" Hongdou lowered her head in frustration, and the two hands on her thighs grabbed the clothes tightly, becoming a little wrinkled...
"But I also have difficulties, although it is not very appropriate to say it now, the departure date of the gold ship is earlier than scheduled..."
"It's early?!"
"It's decided to leave tomorrow morning, so I'm really sorry I didn't inform you in time. This is also because of the importance attached to the relationship with the water country, so we had to leave as soon as possible. ā
"Got it... I just wish I could give us some time to find a companion as well. ā
"Yes."
"Well, then, we'll go straight to the docks tomorrow to meet you."
"Then please, just a little..."
"Please say..."
"My country, as you can see, is not a rich country. We and our fishermen are terrified of this Sea Demon incident, please be sure to help us solve this incident! The starfish and the guards behind them also bowed their heads deeply...
"We'll do our best."
By the sea, in a somewhat dilapidated cabin, after a night's rest, Naruto's body had almost recovered. Sit up, the towel on your forehead falling off.
"That's right, Iā" The door opened, and it was the girl with the bandage last time.
"Wake up..."
"Ahh Kindness... You're the girl from yesterday... That's right, it turns out that you saved me. Thank you! ā
"It's just a matter of hand," said the girl expressionlessly.
"Thank you for saving me, ah... My name is Naruto Uzumaki, what's your name? ā
"Fishing fire..."
"Then ......." Naruto's personality still can't seem to say thank you
The fishing fire uncovered the pot hanging on the rope, and the fish soup in the pot was boiling continuously, and the tofu was seasoned with sauce, which was so fragrant! The fire below was still burning, and when I got close to the fire, I suddenly felt warm all over my body.
"What are you doing in such a remote place?" Fisherman handed Naruto the bowl full of fish broth.
"I'm here on a mission to rid the country of the sea devils."
"If you give up this idea, if you do something to the sea devil, you will definitely die."
"You don't have to worry! And it's also a task. Yesterday was just my carelessness, and next time I will never... I'm going to beat that sea devil down!" ā
"Hmm... So your body is okay anymore? ā
"Yes."
"Then, after eating, let me go." Yuhuo stood up and walked out.
"Cut." Naruto slowly finished the bowl with food.
As soon as I went out, I saw that several pieces of glass had been smashed on the door, and they were splashed with paint of various colors. It was also written (Die!) Monster! What kind of person is so immoral?! The whole house was splashed with colorful paint...
"What? Who the hell did it! ā
"The bad kids in the village do... If you take it to heart, they'll only be happier. The fishing fire turned and walked away.
"Fisherfire..."Naruto stopped Fishfire, and was about to say something, "Come out, stinky monster!" ā
"What?!" Naruto looked back suspiciously, only to see seven or eight children standing behind the reef, laughing at the fishing fire.
"You plague god! Try this! As soon as the words fell, the boy threw a fist-sized stone into the fire, and the pond fell to the ground.
"Disappear!"
"Get out of here!"
"Hey! You bastards! ā
"You speak!" The child threw a rock, and Yuhuo closed his eyes in fear. And at this time, Naruto couldn't help but think that he was no different from this when he was a child, and instantly opened the chakra to catch the stone, "Hey, you little gangsters, do you want to die?!" ā
"Who are you? An accomplice of this monster?! A kid who seemed to be the leader of the children shouted.
"Monster!"
"Everybody knows!"
"That's it! Yuhuo suddenly disappeared, but in fact, he became an accomplice of the sea devils! ā
"It's just slander!"
"It's true!" A kid sneaks up next to Naruto and kicks Naruto's leg.
A fist swung over, and before the kid could kick Naruto, he was already slammed to the ground by Naruto, howling and crying.
Naruto pinched the stone into powder hard, and the killing intent slowly revealed, and walked over to the child, "It seems that I can't teach you bastards a lesson!" "Clenched his fists and walked angrily towards the child, the rest of the children had already abandoned the child alone, and each ran for his life...
Someone grabbed Naruto's fist, and Naruto looked back at her, "Forget it..."
"But..."
"It's okay," Yuhuo stood up and patted the dust off his body, "Get out of here!" I'll kill you all next time if that's the case!" Naruto glared at the kid viciously, crying and running away.
"You leave me alone." āā
The dividing line - Red Bean went around to inquire about the news, "My companion was killed in the sea, right?" ā
"Has anyone seen anything in the fishing boat that came back from last night to this morning?"
"I'm sorry, I don't think it can help you. It's all because of the sea devils, and the fishermen in this village avoid fishing at this time. ā
"That's right."
"It's Shenyin." After not speaking for a long time, the old man spoke, "Another one who was taken away by the sea devil." ā
"Mom, don't talk nonsense."
"Shen Yin?"
"I heard it when I was in the port, can you tell us more details."
"Even if I did, it wouldn't help you. Leave me alone, these things cannot be told to outsiders. ā
"But... Please be generous. We're here to destroy the Sea Devils. ā
"Destroy the sea devils? All right. The short-haired woman thought about it, "There is such a legend about that strange island that has been passed down among fishermen since ancient times. ā
"Legends?"
"Yes, that's the island where monsters live. Legend has it that it is very close to the strange island, which was originally a fishing ground with abundant fish, but also a dangerous island with many reefs. Therefore, there has been a legend that about ten years ago, during the cold summer, the fish in the sea were all caught, and my wife had no choice but to set foot in that area, where there were a lot of fish, and it was a great harvest. However, when I happily surfaced, all I saw was an empty boat with my husband missing, and it was then that the people who approached the island disappeared one after another, and the people who went to look for them did not return. Since then, the people of the village have called it Shenyin Island, and no one dares to approach it again. ā
"No one dared to come close..."
