Chapter 64 I’m just a passing hero (please vote for me~please read~)

Return to town and rent a boat.

Naruto and Xiang Rin rested for the night and waited until the next morning before setting off.

Yesterday's warning to Iwagakure was effective.

A large number of ninjas were withdrawn from the town.

The Country of Whirlpool is a small island not far from the shore.

After sailing on the sea for more than two hours, we arrived at an abandoned ferry.

The water was misty and a bit gloomy.

The pier stretching out on the water has become rotten and tattered, with only some broken wooden boards left that are barely hanging on.

They look fragile. Let alone stepping on them, a strong wind or a heavy rain may cause them heavy losses.

"Has the Kingdom of Whirlpool been like this for so many years?" Naruto asked softly, staring at the dock.

The boatman didn't even look back: "Hardly anyone will come."

"I remember when this was still a country."

"I don't know why it suddenly died overnight."

At this point, the boatman paused and said, "I heard from the old people in the town that this country offended the God of Death, causing him to punish him and destroy this country."

Naruto raised his eyebrows: "The God of Death? Why do you say it's the God of Death?"

The Country of Whirlpool is an island country.

Even in the eyes of ordinary people, the demise of this country is related to "gods".

The one that comes to mind should be "Poseidon".

"Hurricane", "earthquake", "volcano". These elements are all more reasonable than the appearance of "Death".

"I don't know either." The boatman shook his head, "That's what the old people in the village said."

Xiang Rin whispered: "My mother said that the Uzumaki clan used to have the custom of worshiping the God of Death."

"This is probably how the rumors of being destroyed by the God of Death spread."

The boatman turned back and looked at Xianglin in surprise: "I remembered, I seem to have heard them say it before."

"In the past, most of the ninjas in that country had red hair."

"Are you their descendant?"

Xianglin did not answer him and continued: "The demise of the Kingdom of Whirlpool was not due to the God of Death."

"It's because ninjas from other countries are afraid of the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique."

"In one night, we united together to destroy the Kingdom of Whirlpool. Even our ally Konoha couldn't react."

The boatman nodded and suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

"What great news."

He avoided the dock, threw a rope to tie the tree stumps on the shore, and set up the raft. Naruto and Xiang Rin disembarked and set foot on the land that once belonged to the "Uzumaki Clan" for the first time.

"Wait!" the boatman called to them.

The two turned back.

The boatman scratched his head: "Although you look very powerful."

"It's also related to ninjas and this perishing country."

"But be careful."

"There are still some original residents on this island."

"I also heard that some pirates live on this island."

Naruto smiled at him: "Thank you, uncle!"

The boatman watched them leave, then rocked the boat and returned.

On the island of Whirlpool Country.

The trees are tall, the bushes are thick, and everything is alive.

But only there are not many traces of human life.

There is a well-trodden path leading from the pier to the island, but it has not been used or maintained for nearly twenty years, and weeds have grown over it, trying to encroach on it.

Follow the path forward and you will enter a town.

This place once relied on the port and had a prosperous economy.

But now there are only ruins and ruins, and the land is deserted.

"Do you want to find something here first?" Xianglin walked to the door of a half-collapsed house and peeked inside.

"Let's go find the Ninja Village first." Naruto shook his head.

Continuing forward, not long after leaving the town, I heard a burst of noise and panic not far away.

The two of them walked over and stepped on the tree.

The place where the sound came from was a simple settlement.

Houses built with materials scavenged from the town.

A small village with only a few dozen people.

They are being plundered.

The five pirates were holding knives they had obtained from unknown sources, and some were waving kunai and shurikens.

"Hurry up! Hand over all your food!"

"And money."

"Or you'll die!"

They are extremely arrogant.

There were only five people, but the whole village didn't dare to resist.

The older ones looked numb.

Young people and children wanted to resist, but the adults held them back.

"There are ninjas." Naruto whispered, his eyes falling on two of them.

The two men were not wearing ninja forehead protectors.

The chakra aura is not powerful, not even comparable to Haruno Sakura.

But there is no doubt that they are beyond ordinary people.

"Naruto wants to save them?" Xianglin tilted her head. She didn't care much about these people, she only cared about Naruto's opinion.

What responded to her was an arc drawn by golden light.

Naruto quietly intervened on the battlefield.

The five pirates suddenly froze with ferocious smiles, their bodies turned to stone, unable to move, and only their eyes could move - this was the gap created by Naruto.

The five of them rolled their eyes with difficulty, and their eyes fell on the blond hair.

He looked horrified.

A powerful ninja?

How could a character of this level appear on a small island like the Country of Whirlpool?

"You have stronger power, but you only want to bully the weaker ones." Naruto said softly, his eyes scanning their faces, "It's really unforgivable."

He put his hand on the hilt of "Kyuubi".

Unsheathed an inch.

Without liberating it, only using a trace of power.

Five translucent tailed beast hands emerged from the ground.

In the frightened, resisting, and begging eyes of those five people, there was no hesitation, crushing their throats.

Naruto turned back.

People in the village are cautious.

"Is it Ninja-sama?" An old man gathered in the center of the crowd spoke with a cautious tone, "Thank you, Ninja-sama, for saving our village."

He winked at the person next to him.

The man holding the money in his arms quickly ran to Naruto, knelt down in the "Tuxiaza" position, piously piled up the coins and pushed them to Naruto's feet.

The old man continued: "This is the only money our village has, as a reward for saving us, Ninja-sama."

"I hope Ninja-sama won't dislike it."

Although it is a pity to lose "money".

However, there are not many opportunities to use money on this island. In comparison, being able to keep food is already very good.

Only then did Xiang Lin fall to the ground and stand next to Naruto.

People in the village are more cautious.

Another ninja!

Naruto didn't answer immediately, he was thinking about a question.

After a while, he smiled.

He bent over and picked up the two coins with the largest denomination from the pile of coins and put them into Xianglin's hand: "Let this be my reward for saving you."

"As for the ninja."

Naruto said softly but firmly: "We are not ninjas."

He paused, thinking of a suitable description.

"I'm just a hero passing by."

The old man was startled.

He stared at Naruto's face. Set against the golden hair, this cheerful smile was even more dazzling, as if the gloomy fog lingering on the island was instantly lifted.

hero

Instead of a ninja?

"Lord Hero, can you tell us your name?" he asked.

Naruto gave a thumbs up: "Just call me, Golden Flash, Uzumaki Naruto."

Xianglin chuckled: "Naruto, your naming ability is quite different from your aesthetic ability."

"Golden Flash is very handsome!" Naruto smiled, "And that's my dad's nickname."

"I'm blonde too."

"It's obviously a good fit for me."
