After understanding the process, Ning Xue learned that the other party's name was Miyoshi.
After Miyoshi knew that Ning Xue was a foreigner, he patted his chest enthusiastically and found a simple but clean small hotel for him to stay near the pier.
Of course, you still have to Ning Xue pay for the rent yourself.
Ning Xue used the two days before departure to roughly explore this small town that has gradually become prosperous because of Naruto Bridge.
He observed that many people here seemed to be engaged in smuggling.
But what does this have to do with him?
Ning Xue shrugged his nose uncomfortably, opened a corner of the mask, and found two pieces of paper to plug his nostrils.
It seemed that he still had difficulty adapting to the smell... After turning around and asking Miyoshi where he could buy a gas mask, he left and went to look for it.
Finally, he found his target at a street stall filled with all kinds of used goods.
It was an old mask stall with all kinds of masks hanging on it, including the gas mask he wanted.
Unfortunately, the style here can only cover the mouth and nose, but cannot cover the eyes.
In desperation, he had to spend more money and order one.
In just one afternoon, the customized mask was ready.
The moment he put on the new mask, he felt that the whole world became fresh.
Ah, yes, that's it... air without fishy smell is good air.
One day later.
The day of departure is coming soon.
The dock in the early morning was shrouded in light mist, and the cargo ship that was about to sail was quietly moored on the shore.
It's smaller than Ning Xue expected, and it looks a bit older.
Under the command of Miyoshi, dock workers are loading goods onto the ship one after another.
After everything was arranged, Miyoshi called their doctor Ning Xue to board the ship.
"Hey! Doctor! You can get on the boat!"
Ning Xue did not hesitate and stepped onto the ship on the wooden plank used to transport the goods.
Workers on the side immediately put away the wooden planks and used iron chains to form a fence around the ship.
Everything was ready, Miyoshi gave the order to unmoor and set sail.
The cable was untied, and the sails slowly caught the wind under the adjustment of the sailors. The ship's hull shook slightly and began to slowly but firmly sail away from the dock, gradually leaving Land of Waves behind.
Ning Xue came to the fence, held on to the wooden railing, looked at the disappearing coastline, and let out a long sigh of relief.
This was his first long voyage by boat, which not only brought him some novel experiences, but also brought him a bit of confusion about the future.
After arriving at Land of Snow, where should I go? How should I return to Konoha for revenge? Everything is unknown and confusing.
He closed his eyes and felt the sea breeze blowing his not-so-thick coat and broken hair.
When he opened his eyes again, the confusion in his eyes dissipated a little.
He uttered something softly.
"On the other side of the sea... is freedom."
At first, the voyage was quite uneventful.
The blue sea is vast and expanse, shimmering with fine golden light in the sun, and occasionally white seabirds chase the stern of the ship and circle and sing.
Ning Xue watched all this in silence, feeling the rhythm of the ship's hull rising and falling slightly with the waves.
However, this novelty did not last long.
When the cargo ship completely sailed into the open sea, the waves became obviously rough.
The hull no longer just undulated slightly, but began to rock back and forth and bump.
Ning Xue also felt his stomach churn, a strong feeling of nausea rushed straight into his throat, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He subconsciously clenched the railing tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the exertion.
Is this what it feels like to be seasick? I didn't expect that I actually got seasick...
He tried to adjust his breathing to relieve the nausea in his chest, but it had little effect.
Amid the violent turbulence, he could only lie helplessly by the fence, lift off his gas mask, and spit out a rainbow of seven colors toward the sea.
"Hey kid! Is this your first time on a boat?"
An old sailor with dark skin and beards passed by. Seeing his appearance, he grinned, showing teeth yellowed by tobacco.
"Just get used to it! If you really feel uncomfortable, you can go over there and enjoy the breeze. Don't look at the swaying water nearby, but look at the horizon in the distance. It will make you feel better!"
"Thank you."
He is willing to listen to the advice of experienced sailors.
After all, people are here to eat, unlike some people who just give random orders.
Ning Xue reluctantly stood up and looked at the horizon in the distance. At the same time, he tried to adjust his breathing and circulate Chakra in his body, trying to calm down the strong feeling of nausea.
After a while, the churning feeling in my chest subsided slightly, but my head was still dizzy.
He sat on the edge of the fence and let out a breath.
Now that you've boarded this pirate ship, you can't turn back.
He didn't expect that he would get seasick, let alone that he would survive almost death, only to lose half his life due to this strong physiological reaction.
Alas... it seemed the voyage was much more difficult than he had expected.
In this way, the ship continued to bump in the waves, and the sun gradually set in the west.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, dyeing the water orange-red, like a dream.
Ning Xue forced his dizzy head to stand up and looked at this beautiful sunset scene.
However, he could not enjoy the beautiful scenery for long before his eyes froze.
At the end of the setting sun, a huge ship appeared, with a skull logo clearly painted on the canvas.
Apparently, they encountered pirates.
"Unlucky."
