Chapter 51 Ghost Ship (Update)

The Country of Waves is located in the eastern sea of ​​the Country of Fire, sandwiched between the Country of Fire and the Country of Water. It is a very inconspicuous island country, and there is very little information about it.

Since the end of the Third Ninja War, the Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water has entered an increasingly severe state of isolation, actively shrinking its tentacles, and rarely contacting the outside world. After testing to no avail, Konoha Hidden Village gradually gave up on Kirigakure. The hidden village was on alert and at the same time reduced the intensity of intelligence collection in this direction in the eastern sea area.

As the border between water and fire, the Country of Waves has in fact become an isolated island hanging in the sky. Information about this country, due to the pursuit of traitorous ninja, may be more clear to Kirigakure Village.

However, Konoha Village lags far behind, and the latest information about the Country of Waves is only a rough survey summary from a year ago.

It's just a country that doesn't even have a shinobi village. After losing the influence of Kirigakure Village, Konoha obviously doesn't have such strong motivation and interest to learn more.

It is worth mentioning that even the brief summary of Konoha's investigation into the intelligence of the Kingdom of Waves a year ago was done by a Konoha ninja while performing an assassination mission.

The name of this ninja is:

Hyuga Ningqi.

After Konoha's intelligence library was burned down by someone before defecting, Konoha's understanding of the Country of Waves was only a vague impression in the minds of some Konoha ninjas.

And when Konoha reconstructs the information about the Kingdom of Waves, it must be after the Fourth Ninja War. He himself doesn't know where Ning Qi will be by then.

Ning Qi took out the key and opened the courtyard door that had been sealed for a year.

"Brother Ning Qi, is this your home here?" Hua Huo ran her fingers across the desk, and when she lifted it up it had instantly turned dark, and she couldn't help but let out a "huh" sound.

"It belongs to my friend." Ning Qi said calmly, found a rag from the window and gave it to Hua Huo, "Clean your own room."

"What about your friend?" Hanabi started working with a rag, and because she was too short, the furniture in the room she was in was always too high, so she had to carry a stool that was bigger than her.

"he died."

Hua Hui looked at Ning Qi in the room, hesitant.

"Killed by me." Ning Qi looked at Hua Huo's busy figure and said proactively.

"Why?" Hanabi couldn't help but ask.

"Because he defected to Konoha just like me, but he defected earlier than me, and he was weaker than me, so he died in my hands."

The index and middle fingers of Ning Qi's hands formed a cross.

The art of multiple shadow clones!

So the whole yard was filled with identical teenagers wearing black eye masks and cleaning around.

Cleaning didn't take them long, but the whole courtyard had a completely new look.

"From now on, this will be our base."

Hanabi looked around with "Oh" and was quite excited. Although the furnishings here were simple and not as luxurious as the Hinata family head's mansion, the sunshine and beach and the gentle sea breeze made it a gloomy and more malicious house than the one Hanabi remembered. So much better.

And most importantly, there is no one else here.

there's only us".

The excited Hanabi did not notice that when Ning Qi said the word "stronghold", what she saw was the courtyard in front of her, but what appeared in Ning Qi's eyes was the entire island of the Country of Waves.

There are only more than 50,000 people in this country. There is no money and no need to establish a ninja village. Its own resources are poor and a large amount of materials need to be imported.

For this reason, the shipping lines responsible for foreign trade are the lifeline of this country. Whoever can control this country's shipping channels can control the country's seven inches and control the wealth and lives of 50,000 people in their own hands.

Ning Qi feels that the entire Country of Waves, as a country, is too small after all.

As a stronghold or a testing ground, it's just right...

It will take about half a month for the eyes to be fully upgraded. Ning Qi was not in a hurry. He went to the basement and began to place the precious items of Byakugan, Sharingan, and seal scrolls gathered from Konoha Village. There were also some precious items left in the yard. A shadow clone gives Hanabi practical training:

"Hanabi-san moved too much on the boat..."

…

Inari was sitting on the edge of the dock, feeding mud to the fish out of boredom, while constantly looking up at the sunset, waiting for the return of her stepfather Kesha.

"Inari, do you know the legend of the ghost ship?" Such a faint voice suddenly sounded from behind, making Inari tremble all over.

He turned around and saw that it was Grandpa Dazna.

"Grandpa, you are too much!" Inari pouted dissatisfiedly.

After drinking, Dazna liked to make the juniors happy very much. At this time, he laughed loudly:

"If a child is alone on the beach at such a late hour, he will be captured by the ghost ship and will never come back!" Daz threatened him, "You know the ghost ship, the people on it are all long dead. , a ship full of ghosts, you might even see your grandma on the ship!”

"Grandpa, you are all lying to children!" Inari didn't believe it at all.

"Hey, isn't Inari a child?"

"But I just turned four today."

"Oh, it turns out that Inari is already a four-year-old adult." Tatsuna touched his grandson's head and sighed in surprise.

It was uncomfortable to touch the top of her head with her calloused palms. Inari soon became impatient and jumped up to protest loudly.

Seeing him escaping from his clutches, Dazna smiled nonchalantly and said:

"Then you should go home early. Your mother and I are still waiting to celebrate your birthday!"

"I know, I will go back with Uncle Kesha!!"

The Country of Waves is only that big in total, and there are locals on both sides. Inari's water quality is also very good, so Dazuna is not afraid of anything happening to him.

The child admired his stepfather Kesha very much. The two had a deep relationship. Dazna was also very happy to see this scene. He didn't care much about Kesha coming back too late today. He thought he was probably going to prepare a birthday gift for Iri. went.

He gave Inari a few instructions and then went home with his hoe.

"Really, grandpa knows how to scare me." The evening sea breeze was slightly cool, and Inari kicked the stones on the roadside into the sea while walking along the coastline.

"But how soon will Uncle Kesha come back?"

Young people's feelings are always straightforward and passionate. Inari sighed, and the wind blew his hat away. Inari quickly chased after him, but after a short time of pursuit, his pace became slower and slower.

A huge shadow fell over him.

Inari raised her head and widened her eyes.

The hat fell on the mast of the stranded ship in front of me, like a head hanging high.

An unknown red dyes the nearby sea water and beach.

"Is...is there anyone?"

No one responded.

He climbed up the mound on the side, stood on tiptoes and glanced at the deck, then looked through the porthole into the cabin.

Then he froze.

It seems that it finally realized the specific meaning of the image retrieved by its own visual signal.

He glanced again at the deck, then at the cabin.

Bodies spread from the deck to the cabin.

Blood seeped from the cabin to the ground.

Ghost...ghost ship! !
