"Let's go to a safe place first and put you down."
Uchiha Jie rowed the famous boat and sang a song Hinata had never heard before.
"Kirigakure is still very dangerous now, and it's not suitable to take you with me," he said.
"Also, use Byakugan to look at the rocks under the water. If we hit a rock, we will have to run on the sea, which will be very tiring!"
In fact, the boat didn't travel very far, but it took a lot of effort to turn left and right to avoid the rocks.
When Hinata turns on Byakugan, Uchiha Jie rows. When her chakra is exhausted, Uchiha Jie stands on the bow and uses Sharingan to look for rocks, and she needs to row.
It took the two of them more than an hour to find land again.
"This is Land of Waves, a barren country that relies on fishing for its livelihood."
After tying the boat to the shore, Uchiha Jie pulled Hinata to the shore and introduced this place to her:
"It is located on an isolated island, surrounded by numerous reefs. There are only a few safe waterways to leave the island."
"At the same time, this is also the only country without ninjas. In the several Shinobi World wars, this place has not been affected by the flames of war."
"It's so, so beautiful." Hinata looked at the shore scenery shrouded in mist and couldn't help but sigh.
Konoha is located in the forest. This is her first time to cross the sea and come to a real island.
Although there are no coconut groves and beaches as expected, it still has a unique flavor here.
"Land of Waves has only a few villages and a slightly larger town. I have a house in the town. I bought it many years ago. I don't know what it is like now."
Uchiha Jie took Hinata to find a small road. After walking for a short time, they came to a small fishing village. There was a slightly larger main road in the fishing village that led to the largest town of Land of Waves.
There are no pillar industries here, and everyone barely relies on fishing for food and clothing. There are not many residents in the fishing village, and everyone knows each other. They greeted Hinata enthusiastically and asked about some new things on the mainland.
There were a lot more people in the town, which was regarded as the main settlement of Land of Waves. Hinata was surprised to find that although the people on the island were very poor, the things sold in the shops here were more expensive than in developed places like Konoha.
"To transport supplies here, we need to use ships. As you saw on the way here, the entire island is surrounded by rocks. Only veteran sailors can sail."
"Because of the peace here, many wealthy people came here to take refuge when the war started. They also brought a lot of wealth, which is why Land of Waves became like this."
"You see, this area of houses were left by the wealthy people who took refuge here during the Shinobi World war. When the war is over and the mainland is in dire straits, they will sell these houses and return to Land of Fire with their wealth."
"Your master and I are not exempt from this. When I was young, I bought a set here through a random mission."
While Uchiha Jie was chatting with Hinata, he took out a scroll. This scroll was old, and the paper with Sealing Technique on it was a little yellowed and rough.
He tore open the scroll and let the yellow key inside fall into his hand, then walked through two more intersections and stood in front of a villa.
"Even though it is a villa, its price is actually not as good as a small single room in Konoha, but I still spent a lot of money to decorate it."
"After all, this is the seaside. The sea wind and rain will always cause all kinds of things to break quickly, not to mention the occasional storms."
Opening the door, Hinata finally saw the familiar beach and coconut trees, but there was only a small amount of milky white sand and a coconut tree that was not too tall and had not yet reached the age of growing coconuts.
Under the coconut tree is a wooden deck chair.
There is a stone path in the milky white sand leading to the door of the villa. The door is unlocked and Uchiha Jie can push it open just by reaching out.
There are not too many gorgeous furnishings in the villa, but it is very warm. When you turn on the chandelier on the top, the warm yellow light fills the entire room.
Hinata chose a room by the window on the second floor. The sheets and quilts here were all soft and light blue, and they were all neatly laid out. It didn't look like they had been vacant for a long time.
The floor in the room was also extremely clean. She took off her boots and her bare feet were not stained with any dust.
She tore open the scrolls one by one and dumped all her luggage into the house. She would probably live here for a while.
"Hinata Would you be scared if you were alone?" Uchiha Jie picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, and asked softly.
Today's dinner is particularly Land of Waves style, with a variety of sea fish dishes, including sashimi, but most of them are steamed and boiled.
"I heard that many children are afraid of the dark and ghosts, and cannot live alone. Hyuga Yue was also afraid when she was a child. She hated me telling ghost stories."
"Well, when she got a little older, she wasn't afraid anymore."
Uchiha Jie turned to look at Hinata. She was still eating happily. Most of the food was swallowed by her, and the rest was quickly eaten.
"I'm not afraid!" She turned her head and said proudly, "Master, don't worry, I can take care of myself too!"
However, at noon the next day, she began to regret it. Her master left as soon as he said he was going to leave. At dawn, he left a few scrolls behind and left Land of Waves in a hurry.
After practicing, she felt very hungry and ran to the kitchen only to find that the refrigerator was full of raw fish. She couldn't cook and didn't know which fish could be used as sashimi.
"Well..."
She tried to take out a fish from the refrigerator, but the slippery little guy was really far from what it looked like on the table.
Otherwise, she might as well go to a restaurant in the town to eat, but when she touched her purse and thought about how much she ate, she felt that she had to save money for her master. Although the master left her a lot of money, she couldn't spend too much.
While she was still struggling, she heard a click from the small courtyard, and then the sound of the door being pushed open.
Didn't the master say that the shortest trip to Kirigakure would take a few days, or even a few months if the time was longer? Why didn't he come back even half a day later?
Could it be that there is something that I haven't taken, or that I suddenly remembered that I need to make lunch for myself before setting off?
But she ran downstairs excitedly, only to find that the person who pushed the door open was not her master, but a young girl.
She has beautiful black hair, wears a purple turtleneck sweater, has a small tear mole in the corner of her right eye, holds a big bag in her hand, and the fragrance is wafting from the inside out.
It's food!
