Land of Wind Beach
Gaara, watching the Titanic Pirates vomiting frantically on the deck, said, " Kyōai -kun, although the way that ship flew up just now was cool, but..."
Kyōai covered her head. "Sigh, so you can understand the pressure I'm under now? It's so hard for me."
Hongshi: "No, no, I can't stand it anymore, I'm outta here!"
Using the Thermonuclear Orb in the sky, Rock Lee finally saw Captain Jack clearly. "Huh? This guy looks familiar. That's right! Isn't he that guy from the Land of Waves?!"
Captain Jack walked onto the beach, casually shaking off the seawater and starfish from his head. "Tch. Scientific experiments are bound to have some minor flaws."
Gaara: "(°ー°) You guys are almost drowning, and you're telling me this is a minor flaw?"
Captain Jack drew his Kubikiribōchō from behind him. "Hey, you look pretty cocky with those panda eyes. Want me to crack your skull open?"
Kyōai to smooth things over. "Oh, alright, alright, stop hitting Mr. Mahjong. This is the Lord Kazekage of Sunagakure!"
" Kazekage? Such a tiny brat? Hahaha, is there no one left in Sunagakure?"
Gaara, upon hearing this, was enraged and was about to use the sand to teach Captain Jack a lesson, but...
" Eight Gates Released Formation - Sixth Gate of View - Open! Youth Concerto!"
Jack's attention was focused on Gaara was radiating murderous intent. Upon hearing this sound, he looked up and saw only the sole of a Konoha ninja's shoe.
"Boom!"
It turned out that with his amazing memory, Rock Lee finally remembered that Captain Jack was once an enemy of the Land of Snow, and directly used his Taijutsu to kick him in the face.
Captain Jack, due to the immense force, spun twice in the air before his upper body plunged straight into the sand.
Hongshi cheered from the sidelines, "Well done, Rock Lee! Kick him to death!"
Kyōai was startled and quickly stopped Rock Lee: " Lee-kun! Captain Jack is now a member of the Nuclear Ninja Village, his status is a level higher than mine."
Rock Lee: "(°ー°) Why didn't you say so sooner?"
"Who knew you'd kick me right off the bat? I wasn't even on guard! Is this how you greet people in Konoha?!"
Gaara abandoned his attack plan and patted Kyōai on the shoulder meaningfully. " Kyōai- kun, the gates of Sunagakure will always be open for you."
Rock Lee stepped forward and pulled Captain Jack from the sand. "I'm sorry, Captain Jack, I didn't know you were a member of the Nuclear Ninja Village."
"Pah! The Land of Wind is the Land of Wind, even the sand is sweet." Captain Jack spat out the sand in his mouth, his dead fish eyes staring at Rock Lee: "Hey, kid, you seem to have gotten stronger in the months I haven't seen you. Come on, let me crack your skull open first."
Jack was covered in sand and had Rock Lee's footprints on his face, but he still acted arrogantly, taking the Kubikiribōchō from behind him and placing it on Rock Lee's shoulder.
Kyōai stopped Captain Jack: "Hey, Jack- sensei, we're allies with Konoha and Sand Ninja now, don't do this."
Gaara saw the Kubikiribōchō: "Hmm? Isn't this the Kubikiribōchō, one of the Seven Great Ninja Blade of Kirigakure? Are you perhaps Zabuza Momochi?"
Jack, his face serious, quickly sheathed his Kubikiribōchō behind him. "No. I am one of the Seven Ninja Warlords Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Ninja Village. I was born Nuclear Ninja, and I will die Nuclear Ninja Demon. I am Jack the Mahjong Master. As for Zabuza Momochi, that name sounds unreliable and ridiculous."
Kyōai thought to herself, "Even though the Grand Elder is here, you don't need to be so shameless in your flattery."
Hongshi thought to himself, "(˘͈ᵕ˘͈❀) Hmm, not bad, not bad. I'll teach you the Eight Gates Released Formation later."
Gaara didn't argue with Captain Jack, but instead looked at Kyōai with a serious expression. "Even if the Titanic Pirates have a way to fly, it's impossible for them to fly here from the Land of Spring in just fifteen minutes. You, from the beginning, were convinced that I would give you the warship, weren't you?"
Facing Gaara's questioning, Kyōai didn't hide anything. "Ah, that's right. Between useless wreckage and a potentially powerful ally, I think the Lord Kazekage will make the right choice."
Gaara realized for the first time that this seemingly carefree person was extremely intelligent. "Alright, enough talk. The wreckage is yours to handle. I'm going to get a good night's sleep."
Kyōai said to Captain Jack, "Alright, let's stop fooling around and hurry up and tow this warship back to the Land of Spring. Shelin is probably getting impatient by now."
Captain Jack shook the sand off his head, turned around, and roared at the crew of the Titanic, "Men, tie this ship down! The Land of Spring!"
"Yes!"
"Ring ring ring."
After a while, a large number of chains were thrown from the Titanic, hooking onto the bow of the warship, and the crew tied the chains to the stern.
Kyōai, "Professor Jack, the handover is now complete. Have a safe journey."
Jack snorted and looked at Hongshi sprinkling salt on the grilled fish in the distance, "Tch, he clearly has the strength to beat up the Five Great Shinobi Villages, yet he always does these weird things."
"Oh dear, Elder, you're just having some fun."
"Let's go, let's go. I can't control myself when I see that guy's head."
Captain Jack used his Body Flicker Technique to leap back to the bow of the Titanic, pointing in a direction. "Men, hoist the sails! Set sail! To the Land of Spring!"
"But Captain! You're pointing towards the Land of Fire! And where would our ship get sails?"
The Titanic did not have sails.
Jack twisted his torso and pointed in another direction. "My men! Raise the sails! Set sail! To the Land of Spring!"
"Captain! You're wrong again! This time you're referring to the Land of Tea! Do you even know what you're doing?!"
Kyōai: "(°ー°)..."
Rock Lee: " Kyōai- kun, I feel like they're fake pirates."
Zori, unable to contain himself any longer, used the stars in the sky to determine the direction of the Land of Spring, and stood beside Captain Jack: "This way, let's go! Everyone hold on tight! Waraji, get ready! Stop flying! Set the altitude to another two hundred meters and I'll go tell Lord Shelin!"
All the crew members seemed to know what was about to happen, and hurriedly grabbed onto various parts of the ship. "Damn it, it's happening again!"
Waraji, who was in the engine room at the bottom of the ship and responsible for providing power, shouted to the crew members beside him after hearing Zori's words, "Report on the Chakra Furnace power supply system."
" Sunny Type One Chakra Furnace has 73% energy remaining!"
"The Furnace Sealing Jutsu is complete! Safe!"
" The Chakra drive shaft is intact and usable!"
Lord God: "(°ー°)???"
The group began operating the various controllers atop the towering Chakra Furnace. Finally Waraji grabbed a red control lever and shouted into the megaphone beside him, "Height zero meters! Power thirty percent! Three! Two! One!"
"Wind~ Come~ Explode~"
"Boom!!"
The massive jet thrusters at the stern of the Titanic began to unleash Fire Style Chakra, dragging the steel warship, three times its size, forward.
Captain Jack, standing at the bow, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the voyage. He closed his eyes, spread his arms, and shouted, " Jack, I'm flying!"
The ship sped up and moved further and further away from the coastline, eventually disappearing from the sight of the Sand Ninja.
"So that's why that ship didn't have a sail; it was propelled by farting!"
