Chapter 265 Just Observing Silently

After returning to the boat, it was getting late.

Thick fog surrounded the ship, seeming to swallow the entire ship.

Due to thick fog that restricted visibility and made navigation difficult, Naruto and his ship were trapped at sea, unable to move.

Naruto walked into the cabin and saw Sakura, Rei, Chōji and others gathered together.

Kearns' shadow hovered aside, saying nothing, just observing silently.

"Hey everyone. Looks like we're going to have to stay here for a while." Naruto said with a frown.

Shikamaru took out a small lantern and placed it on the wooden table in the middle, adding some warm light to the dark cabin. "The fog is too thick. Who knows how long we will have to wait."

Sakura looked around and said, "Then what should we do? Sit and wait."

Chōji smiled slightly and said, "How about telling a ghost story to pass the time?"

When Kearns saw this scene, he couldn't help but think that these young people all have their own different ways of dealing with insecurity and boredom. But he didn't speak, just continued - Observation 0

"When listening to ghost stories, will someone suddenly turn into a ghost?" Ino asked playfully, squinting her eyes.

Naruto scratched his head, "No way, haha, these are all stories."

"Then I'll be the first one." Shikamaru cleared his throat and began to tell: "There are ten abandoned temples in a mountain outside Konoha Village. It is said that there will be..."

His story delicately describes an ancient temple hidden in a mysterious forest. The voice was slow, but it made people shudder. When he described the most thrilling moment, suddenly——

"Crack!" The wooden door of the cabin was blown open by the wind.

Everyone exclaimed, and Sakura couldn't help but move closer to Sasuke.

Naruto stood up, closed the door, and said, "Wow, the wind is too strong."

Naruto had just closed the door when suddenly, a vague shadow appeared in the thick fog, slowly approaching their ship. Everyone felt a chill.

"What do you think that is?" Ino pointed out the window with a solemn expression.

Kearns' shadow moved slightly, but he still didn't speak, and just observed more intently.

"Isn't this a ghost ship?" Chōji asked nervously.

Kakashi, now Hokage, suddenly appeared in the cabin, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness. "I'm not sure, but we should check it out.

…Please give me flowers…

Naruto stood up immediately, "Okay, I'll go with Yamato and Aoba."

Kakashi nodded, "Lea."

Naruto, Yamato and Aoba quickly passed through the thick fog and arrived at the mysterious ship. There was deathly silence on the boat, with only the sound of waves and wind.

"There seems to be someone here." Yamato said nervously.

At this moment, a young boatman appeared in front of them. He called himself Laozi.

"Are you the boatman of this ship?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Yes, I am Laozi." The young man replied, his eyes a little confused.

Kearns was observing all this in the distance. He felt a little uneasy, but still did not take action.

"What are you doing here alone?" Qingye asked.

"I'm looking for something I lost." Laozi answered vaguely.

Yamato suddenly felt a strong Chakra wave, "Everyone, be careful!"

As soon as Yamato's warning fell, a huge crab suddenly appeared from the bottom of the boat, and its giant claws swung towards Naruto and Yamato.

"Be careful!" Yamato quickly used the Wood Style technique to create a wooden shield, blocking any of the crab's attacks. .
