The Place He Needed to Find

Over the ocean.

Even though the Shinobi World's elite ninja could easily level a city, they still had not conquered this planet's oceans.

Senyo did not know how vast Shinobi Planet's oceans were, but they were certainly no smaller than the landmasses.

Most people in the Shinobi World conducted their activities within the Five Great Nations.

In truth, beyond the Five Great Nations lay many unfamiliar countries.

Those countries could only be reached after traveling by ship for a very long time.

However, Shinobi Planet had no satellites, so those unfamiliar sea routes remained dangerous.

Animals in forests could grow dozens of times larger, so one could only imagine the colossal creatures lurking in the deep sea.

For the time being, Senyo had no intention of exploring those unknown regions. Instead, he took a well-established route toward the Land of Snow.

The closer they drew to the area, the colder it became, though the temperature was still far from freezing.

"Ah, Master, there's still no snow in sight."

Karin lay across the bow, watching the sunset gradually sink beneath the horizon as she muttered to herself.

They had already drifted on the ship for five days. During the first two days, Karin had eagerly dragged Senyo along to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Now, she had lost interest.

Senyo gave Karin's butt a firm smack, producing a sharp smack.

He had not held back, and astonishing elasticity rebounded against his palm.

"You're one to talk. If you hadn't wanted to take a ship and see the ocean, we wouldn't have gone by sea."

"If we'd gone overland, we would've arrived by now."

Karin covered her butt, her face flushing as she looked around nervously, afraid someone might have seen.

Fortunately, Sasuke and Kimimaro were continuously exchanging blows on the deck.
