Chapter 212 Island Turtle
In the afternoon of that day, the news about Jinchūriki's practice place was transmitted through Mabui's mouth to the inn where Hidden Mist's people were staying.
That is not any training ground in Kumogakure, but a moving island.
"Island Turtle?"
Karin was stuffing the third rice ball into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a squirrel, he almost choked when he heard this, "You said that island is actually a big turtle?"
"To be precise, Hidden Cloud obtained it from Land of Whirlpool and cultivated it into a giant contract creature."
"Normally swims in the coastal waters of Land of Lightning. His location is not fixed and he never stays in the same sea area for more than three days."
As he spoke, Mabui posted a hand-drawn diagram of the sea area on the wall of the inn, and tapped his fingertips lightly on the location marked with a dotted circle.
"There will be a Supply Ship departing from Hidden Cloud North Harbor this afternoon, and Yugito is already waiting at the dock."
"There are several others boarding the ship with her, who can also be regarded as your training partners and support personnel for this training."
Sōji stood in front of the window, and Six Eyes passed through the stone wall of the inn and captured several extremely dense groups of Chakra gathering in the direction of North Harbor.
One of them is very familiar to him, Yugito Tailed Beast Chakra with a faint flame pattern, like a quietly burning ball
Blue cold fire.
But there is another group next to it, which is huge and thick, with a kind of almost wild vitality.
Eight-Tails!
"So, Killer B will also go?" Sōji turned around.
Hearing this, Mabui's pen tip paused for a moment, and then he nodded slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone that really couldn't be hidden from you.
"It's what Lord Killer B wants. If you don't agree, I'm afraid that Lord will hold Concert in the village for a month."
Having said this, Mabui raised his hand to his forehead with a bitter look on his face, as if Concert was some kind of scourge.
Karin on the side became interested, "Concert? Is this Killer B a famous artist?"
Sōji pursed his lips, then raised his hand and pressed Karin's shoulder, "You'll know it when you see me."
At this time, Mabui put away his expression and said with a serious face, "Although Master Killer B's voice is not flattering, but...
"Of all the Jinchūrikis currently in Shinobi World, he is the most mature in collaboration with Tailed Beasts. Moreover, Master Killer B's Tailed Beasts affinity is a living teaching material in itself."
"Yugito is responsible for the training process, and Master Killer B is responsible for helping your Jinchūriki understand Tailed Beasts's way of thinking."
"In addition, team Darui will also accompany us. Samui and Atsui are the most outstanding new generations in the village. They will be responsible for logistics support and training records."
"Well, then I'll trouble everyone at Hidden Cloud!"
In response, Sōji also nodded with a smile and did not raise any objection to such an arrangement.
The sun is setting in the west, North Harbor Pier.
The tonnage of Hidden Cloud Supply Ship is not large, but its draft is extremely deep. The village emblem of Hidden Cloud is tattooed on both sides of the hull.
Yugito stood on the side of the ship, her long rice-brown hair pulled into a straight flag by the sea breeze, holding an open book of Training Manual in her hand and checking it page by page.
Not far from him, a tall man with dark skin wearing sunglasses was standing with one foot on the railing of the ship, assuming a posture that would be impossible for normal humans to maintain balance.
"Yeah~ Yeah~!"
"Guys from Hidden Mist~ I am the partner of Killer B and Eight-Tails, the king of rap~ Who among you is the first to have a flow with me~ Yo~!"
Karin's rice ball slipped from his hand and rolled twice on the deck. Muku silently bent down to pick it up, wiped it with his sleeve, and stuffed it back into Karin's hand.
Utakata turned Bamboo Pipe's fingers stopped for half a beat, Amber Eyes blinked, and then spit out a bubble in response.
The bubbles shattered on the tip of Killer B's nose, and the scene froze for a moment.
.. Well, this bubble is very spiritual!"
Killer B was not angry but happy, and gave a thumbs up with satisfaction, "Hidden Mist's bubble boy, your rhythm book has approved it!"
Utakata looked down at Bamboo Pipe, then looked up at Killer B, Saiken's gentle tone echoed in his ears, "Gyuki, that guy's Jinchūriki is really interesting!"
At this time, a cold female voice interrupted the atmosphere that was gradually going sideways, "Killer B Master, it is forbidden for impromptu rap to disturb the students' attention before the training begins."
Hearing this, Killer B jumped off the railing with a backflip and landed firmly on the deck, "Samui, you are such a serious woman. Rap is the soul of Resonance, and it is the bridge between Tailed Beasts and human beings!"
In response, Samui did not answer the call again.
At this moment, she was standing on the other side of the ship. The sea breeze blew her short, shoulder-length pale blond hair back slightly, revealing a pair of blue-green eyes.
It was an extremely delicate face, with clear yet soft outlines of facial features. There was a kind of indifferent calmness on the face, as if everything in front of her was expected.
She is tall and plump, and her curves are perfectly outlined in the Hidden Cloud low-cut light gray dress.
The black short skirt swayed gently in the sea breeze, and a section of white calf was exposed between the red wrist guard and black high boots. Behind the belt was an Red Scabbard and Combat Tanto pinned to the Ninja Tool Pouch. The handle of the knife had a light luster from being held for many years.
Samui's eyes swept over Hidden Mist's people one by one, paused for a moment each on Karin and Muku, and then fell on the black cloth that Sōji was blindfolded with.
"Sir Sōji, Lord Raikage has told me that during this island training, I will be responsible for all logistics materials and training records."
"If you need anything, just tell me directly."
His voice was steady, neither too fast nor too slow, with a businesslike simplicity, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes that was difficult to detect.
She is sizing up this young man who is famous as Shinobi World!
"Well, thank you, Miss Samui!" Sōji nodded slightly.
At this moment, Samui was followed by two ninjas.
Atsui, the younger brother of Samui, has a darker complexion and short light yellow hair. He is secretly looking at Karin's hair. He has probably never seen the red-haired Uzumaki Clan person Red Eye.
Darui, leaning to the side, has dark skin, short gray hair, an unlit grass stem in his mouth, squinting in the sun, looking lazy and not paying much attention to anything.
As the team leader, Hidden Cloud Jonin was given the word "Thunder" by Fourth Raikage. His lack of motivation is well known to everyone Hidden Cloud.
This task was apparently in charge of him, but in fact it was dispatched by Samui, who had been promoted to Special Jonin this year.
"Darui-senpai!"
At this time, Atsui lowered his voice and said, "The white-haired one has been looking at you since just now."
Mangetsu was indeed looking at Darui, and he noticed that the lazy man had a huge broad-bladed knife slung across his back, with the blade almost as wide as his shoulder.
As a proficient swordsman genius in Ninja Blade, Mangetsu will naturally pay more attention to a master who also wields a knife.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Hidden Mist everyone boarded the ship.
Supply Ship left North Harbor and sailed north-east along the coastline of Land of Lightning for about an hour.
The sea breeze in early winter became as sharp as a knife due to the speed of the ship, but Samui still stood upright on the side of the ship, with only his short pale blond hair being blown by the wind.
From time to time, he would lower his head and write a few lines on the Clipboard in his hand. His handwriting was neat and efficient, and he was obviously used to working in this environment.
At this time, she suddenly raised her head and looked towards the bow of the ship with her blue-green eyes, "That's the foggy area ahead."
Everyone looked along her line of sight, and saw a layer of opaque white fog floating on the sea surface, spreading from the sea level to mid-air, shrouding the entire sea area in a kind of secluded silence.
The moment Supply Ship passed through the wall of fog, the visibility dropped sharply to less than three feet, and even the waves splitting at the bow of the ship were swallowed up by the thick fog.
Karin's Mind's Eye of the Kagura suddenly expanded to its maximum range, and the crimson eyes flickered slightly behind the lenses.
. So big!"
Karin covered his lips and exclaimed, with a trace of irrepressible exclamation in his voice.
The wall of fog gradually dissipated behind the ship.
A huge island appeared in front of everyone. It was a giant turtle big enough to carry the entire forest and hills.
The part of the tortoise shell above the water is hundreds of meters in diameter. The shell is covered with a thick layer of soil, and the unique coniferous forests and shrubs native to Kumogakure grow there.
The turtle's head is half submerged in the water, its eyes are slightly closed, and every breath brings a slow and heavy tidal rise and fall.
The most eye-catching thing is the body of water in the center of the turtle shell, a bottomless freshwater lake.
The gray-blue Sky Manipulation in early winter is reflected on the lake. In the center of the lake, there are several condensed beams of Chakra that shine up from below the water surface, dyeing the entire lake into a strange light golden color.
"There is Waterfall of Truth."
As he said that, Yugito on the side closed Training Manual, his voice was cold and determined, "Our practice location is behind the waterfall."
"Waterfall of Truth itself is formed by the intersection of Island Turtle, Chakra and the underground river. It can reflect the most real emotional fluctuations in people's hearts."
"For Jinchūriki, the trial of Waterfall of Truth cannot be bypassed. You must face the thing you least want to face and then get over it."
As she spoke, her eyes paused on Karin and Utakata for a moment each, "Not everyone has the courage to walk into that lake."
Just as he was talking, Supply Ship slowly moved up the natural stone steps at the edge of Island Turtle's carapace.
Atsui was the first to jump off the boat and tied the cable to the stone pillar with neat movements.
Darui lazily followed behind, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand casually waving to everyone Hidden Mist as a greeting.
Kirabi was the last one to get off the boat. The moment he jumped off the side of the boat, he improvised a rhyme, "Turtle Island~Arrived~Real Waterfall~Enriguchi~"
Samui walked down the gangway, and the short knife at her waist lightly hit the outside of her thigh in the movement. She didn't even frown, she just adjusted her stance slightly to relieve the soreness in her shoulders.
She has obviously become accustomed to the inconvenience caused to her by having such a figure that others can't take their eyes off.
Turning over Clipboard, Samui pointed the direction of the freshwater lake in the center of the tortoise shell with the tip of his pen, "Logistics materials during the training period are stored in Supply Station on the north side of the lake shore, and Atsui is responsible for the daily meals."
"Medical support and emergency contact are my responsibility, and training progress records are the responsibility of Darui."
"Senior Darui is responsible for recording?"
Hearing this, Atsui on the side widened his eyes, "He doesn't even bother to write his own mission report, right?"
"So he needs to practice more."
In response to this, Samui turned over a page of recording paper with an expressionless face, "Lord Raikage said, this mission is to help Daru
Captain Yi got rid of his bad habit of procrastinating in writing reports."
Hearing this, Darui froze for a moment while holding the grass stem in his mouth, then looked up to the sky and sighed, looking a little lazier than before.
At this time, Sōji stood on the edge of the turtle shell, Six Eyes looked through the layers of soil and rock layers at the hidden Cave space behind the waterfall.
From the perspective of ordinary people, the lake surface only reflects light golden light.
But in his field of vision, extremely high-density Chakra surged at the bottom of the lake, which was a composite field intertwined with Chakra and Natural Energy of Island Turtle.
The texture is different from the viscosity of Tailed Beast Chakra, and different from the calmness of Senjutsu Chakra, but a kind of power between the two, with warm pulsation.
"Karin, Utakata!"
Sōji looked away, his voice was calm but every word was pronounced firmly, "This is definitely a good place for you."
"Practice seriously, and sooner or later you and Tailed Beasts will cooperate closely!"
