Chapter 266 I Have The Responsibility To Protect It

Not to be outdone, Naruto immediately took out his shuriken and prepared to fight the giant crab.

Kearns saw all this in the void, and his heart moved slightly. He knew that this was a test, but he decided to observe and see how they responded.

Laozi suddenly walked over, his eyes became firm, "Let me do it."

"You?" Naruto was a little surprised.

"I am also a part of this ship, and it is my "197" responsibility to protect it." Laozi said, suddenly releasing a strong Chakra from his body.

Both Yamato and Naruto were shocked. The intensity of this Chakra was far greater than they expected.

Laozi recited a few spells, and suddenly a beam of light shot out from his hand and directly hit the huge crab.

The crab let out a scream and then slowly fell down.

"That's awesome!" Naruto exclaimed.

"How did you do it?" Yamato was also curious.

Laozi smiled, "This is my responsibility as the boatman of this ship."

Kearns saw all this and nodded secretly. He knew that this experience would be a good exercise for them.

At this moment, the particle's body suddenly began to become transparent.

"You...you are?" Naruto asked in surprise.

"I am the ghost boatman of this ship. I have been waiting here for the person who can let me leave peacefully." Laozi's voice became weaker and weaker.

"So, you are..." Yamato couldn't finish his sentence.

"Yes, but now I can leave with peace of mind, thank you." After saying that, Laozi's body completely disappeared into the air.

Naruto and his team returned to their ship, the ship's hull swaying slightly, as if responding to the wind on the sea. Kearns' shadow was still floating aside, and his eyes became more focused.

"Yozi is gone, but we have to move on." Naruto looked at the people around him, their expressions were complicated.

"Yes, we still have a mission." Yamato nodded.

At this moment, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the sea. A flash of fire pierced the sky, and a cannonball hit the side of their ship.

"What's going on!" Chōji yelled.

"It's shelling!" Ino said nervously.

Kearns' shadow trembled slightly, but he still didn't speak, just observed more vigilantly...

Naruto immediately ran to the bow of the ship, looked sharply through the thick fog, and finally saw a huge island not far away, which was covered with forts.

"That's..." Yamato frowned.

"It looks like it's a pirate's lair." Aoba said.

Naruto stood on the bow of the ship, staring through the thick fog at the island covered with forts. He held the shuriken tightly in his hand, Chakra slowly gathering in his body.

"Yamato, is there any way we can get closer to that island?" Naruto turned around and asked.

Yamato pondered for a moment, "I can use Wood Style to make a quick submarine, and we can dive into the sea and bypass those turrets."

"Then let's do it." Naruto nodded.

Yamato closed his eyes and formed seals with his hands at 3.5 speed. A green light emitted from his hand and slowly surrounded the entire ship. The hull began to deform, eventually transforming into a rough but strong wooden submarine.

"Get in!" Yamato yelled.

Naruto, Chōji, Ino, Shikamaru and Sakura jumped into the submarine one after another. Yamato was the last to enter, and then used Wood Style to seal the entrance of the submarine. .
