Early the next morning, Uchiha Chen appeared at the gate.
It was not the appointed time yet. He thought he was early, but he didn't expect Kushina to be earlier.
Little Fox was dressed very beautifully, wearing a close-fitting mesh T-shirt, a dark green vest, and a pair of long opaque black stockings on her legs, which made her thighs look slender.
It doesn't feel like I'm on a mission, but like I'm traveling.
Chen glanced briefly and then looked away, then handed the village exit certificate that he had prepared to the guard.
Chunin, who was not too old, did not take the certificate. He just glanced at it and said with a smile, "Master Chen, no problem."
Konoha's gatekeepers were all Police Force's people, so facing the tribesmen, Chen nodded gently and stepped out of the door with Kushina.
Watching the two of them walk away, the Chunin said excitedly to his companion, "As expected, Master Chen is really approachable, as rumored."
"Yeah, Young Clan Head won't be like this."
"Keep your voice down." The Chunin whispered, "You're not afraid of others hearing it."
"What are you afraid of? It will be difficult for Fugaku to become the clan leader anyway."
"You don't think highly of him either?"
"Who cares about him? He hides in the house all day long and doesn't know what he is doing. With Master Chen's ability, he often teaches his tribe members on Training Ground."
"Yeah, I've encountered it several times."
"Moreover." The ninja raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Do you know who that girl was just now?"
"Who?"
After glancing around to make sure there was no one around, he said softly, "Uzumaki Kushina."
"What, is it her? I heard that she is Third Hokage's... illegitimate daughter."
"It's true. Let me tell you, I have a friend who works at Hokage Building..."
After breaking the news about his "One Friend Series", he continued excitedly:
"Think about it, Master Chen has an unusual relationship with Third Hokage's illegitimate daughter. Who will the village support in this position of patriarch?"
"It makes sense. Listening to what you said, I feel that Fifth Hokage's position is also stable for our Uchiha Clan."
"Low-key, low-key."
Chen didn't know that he had been "appointed" as Fifth Hokage out of nowhere.
But even if he knew, he couldn't say anything.
After all, he himself likes to spread rumors.
For example, Konoha's most widely circulated sentence, "Kushina is the illegitimate daughter of Third Hokage" was what he said in front of Teacher Nishimura.
Unexpectedly, it has spread to this day...
All I can say is that it feels good to be happy for a while, and it feels good to be happy all the time.
Three days later, Chen and Kushina finally arrived at a port city named Niigata.
After showing the certificate of Konoha Ninja as usual, the two walked into this seemingly luxurious city.
"Where should we go first?" Kushina asked, pulling on Chen's sleeve.
"Go to the dock and ask if there are any ships going to Land of Whirlpools."
Although Land of Whirlpools is not far from Land of Fire, after all, it is across the sea. Walking there just relying on chakra will waste time and easily get lost.
"Okay." Kushina looked around nervously.
She didn't know anyone in the crowded streets, which made her feel a little uneasy as she had just left the village.
Fortunately, the young man was by her side, which gradually calmed down her anxious mood.
After asking for the specific location of the pier, the two headed towards their destination Earth Flow.
"There is no ship to Land of Whirlpools?"
Chen frowned and glanced at the port manager, whose face was beginning to sweat.
"Sorry, Ninja-sama. The route of Land of Whirlpools has been marked off the chart. Our ship will only go to Land of Hot Water, Land of Water and Land of Craftsmen."
"Can't you be accommodating?"
"There's really no way to accommodate this, Ninja-sama."
"What about if we buy a boat?"
"The boat can be sold or rented. However, now we don't have a captain who is familiar with the route. If we go like this, we will easily get lost on the sea."
"Is there nothing you can do?"
The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "I remembered that there are one or two retired old captains in the city."
"Give me the address."
"Okay." The person in charge wrote down several addresses on the paper.
Putting the note with the address on it into his pocket, Chen left the port area with Kushina.
"Where are you going now?"
Chen raised his head and looked at the sky. The afternoon sun was quite bright, and there was no shade in the port area.
"Let's find a hotel nearby to stay, and then I'll take you to have something to eat. Anyway, we won't be leaving the sea no matter how fast we go today."
"Okay." Little Fox nodded.
In the evening, the two sat down at a Fruit Shop.
Chen picked up the tea that was served and took a sip. It was very fragrant and mellow.
"You should eat too." Little Fox picked up a bunch of meatballs from the table and handed them to Chen.
The boy took the ball and took a bite. He wanted to persuade Kushina to eat more, but when he saw the way she was devouring it, he closed his mouth.
What we originally ordered was not a lot, and Chen and Kushina both work as ninjas, so they were still half-full after eating.
Then Little Fox called again, and then he was satisfied with the meal.
Chen left the last bit of sencha to Kushina, while he got up and went to the store to check out.
But when he turned around after paying the bill, he found two people sitting next to Kushina.
"..."
Rogues are everywhere. What's even more frightening is that they actually attack ninjas. I'm really tired of living.
But it makes sense when you think about it.
When leaving the hotel, Chen and Kushina changed out of their ninja clothes and only wore casual clothes, so now they really don't look like ninjas.
Chen didn't mean to step forward to speak. He just leaned against the counter and watched silently.
The proprietress saw the situation next to Kushina, then crossed her arms, looked at the handsome young man, and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of something happening?"
"It's okay, she can handle it."
"Both of you are... ninja, right?"
Chen turned his head, looked at the charming landlady, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you have a good eye."
Auntie!
The landlady lost her composure and said in a Zhiling-like voice, "My little brother is so bad. He's only eighteen years old."
Chen said honestly and honestly, "Your daughter is eighteen years old, right?"
"..."
Chen and the proprietress started chatting. Here, after Kushina drank all the sencha in the cup, he grabbed one person's hair without politeness and pressed the other person hard on the solid wood table, making a huge muffled sound.
"We will compensate you for the damage caused."
Chen took a look at Kushina, who was completely different from usual. With his fiery temperament, he was truly Bloody Habanero.
At the same time, in the distant Land of Water, Uchiha Fugaku is engaged in a bloody battle.
The battle has been going on for a long time, and the entire land is stained with a lot of blood.
"Damn it, you devil." The Mist Ninja er raised the Kunai in his hand and slashed at the man in front of him.
But before he could cut off the Kunai in his hand, he punched him in the chest.
Whoa, several branches grew from Mist Ninja's body and pierced the opponent's body.
Blood flew out and splashed on Fugaku's face.
At the same time, the branches stabbed out, stabbing Mist Ninja's companion on the right to death as well.
The one on the left, Mist Ninja, was much luckier, dodging the stabbing attack of the wooden thorn at the last moment.
Fugaku raised his head and aimed his eyes at Mist Ninja, who was lucky enough to escape the wooden thorn just now.
"Amaterasu!"
Black flames dripped down on him, and Mist Ninja let out a miserable cry.
Cruelty and ruthlessness are the portrayal of Fugaku now. This man who is already a stranger has no mercy because of Mist Ninja's frightened and helpless retreat.
"Die."
Three more ninjas suddenly appeared behind Fugaku, holding the sword tightly in their hands and stabbing him.
However, when Fugaku turned Mangekyo Sharingan, the whole person actually flew into the sky.
"Can... fly?"
The Mist Ninjas holding the sword were a little at a loss. This ability had only been seen in Third Tsuchikage, but they didn't expect that this strange man with long hair could actually do it.
While Mist Ninja was still thinking about countermeasures, Fugaku opened his hands and looked down at the three of them like a god.
"Go to hell."
A powerful force came down, and the three of them couldn't bear it. They knelt on the ground, and the next second, they all lost consciousness.
At this time, a white creature emerged from the ground.
"Fugaku, you are becoming more and more proficient in using Mangekyo Sharingan, but..."
"Can you please stop using Mist Ninja to practice in the future? So many people have disappeared in the village recently. Even if I pretend to be Third Mizukage, I can't suppress them."
Fugaku slowly fell from the sky and said coldly, "Why are you here?"
White Zetsu didn't care about Fugaku's tone. After all, in this year, it watched the man in front of it gradually change from a slightly cowardly Young Clan Head to the cold look he has now.
"I have information to tell you. Nine-Tails Jinchuriki left the village."
"Huh?" Fugaku looked surprised, "Sarutobi Hiruzen actually released Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"It was indeed released, but it was just to go to Land of Whirlpools to perform a mission with Raikou."
"Uchiha Chen... No wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen is so relieved." Fugaku said calmly.
"Then shall we snatch Nine-Tails?"
"It's not necessary. The order of Seal Tailed Beast cannot be wrong. The plan hasn't started yet, so it will only serve as a warning."
"But you can't do nothing, right?"
"Well." Fugaku thought for a while and said, "Then let Raiga Kurosuki of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist go there."
White Zetsu wondered, "Can he be Raikou's opponent?"
"Of course not, but hasn't he always been against you? Just let him die."
"I feel that the threat from Raikou is quite big, why not let Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist go?"
Fugaku glanced at it and shook his head. "Uchiha Chen I will kill it myself!"
"... Okay."
"How is Konoha doing now?"
"Everything is normal. It's just that the double rarely goes out. Your tribe seems to have a lot of objections to you."
"Yeah, I understand."
Fugaku spoke calmly and walked slowly towards the seaside.
The strong smell of blood on his body quickly dissipated under the wash of sea water.
