Chapter 1210 Follow

On the ocean from the northeast of the Country of Fire to the distant sea, after nearly three months of arduous sailing, the big ship with full sails finally passed through thick fog, death vortex, sea monster, ghost ship and huge waves. Incoming sea area.

If it weren't for the constant encouragement from the guides of Kumogakure, this Konoha ninja team escorting the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki and Uzumaki Naruto to the True Waterfall trial on Turtle Island would have been unable to hold on long ago.

The most difficult part was crossing the Dead Sea, where even aquatic plankton could not survive. The supplies on the ship were almost exhausted. For more than half a month, not to mention finding an island to dock and replenish freshwater food, we even saw fish and shrimps. Less than.

Even the contents of the psychic storage scroll were completely consumed. In order to save energy, when nothing happened, he would lie motionless on the deck and lick the dew from the plastic film to quench his thirst.

"Fortunately, we are ninjas. If we were ordinary crew members and travelers, would we have died in the deep sea?"

Arriving at a sea area covered with reefs, the eager group of people finally found the supplies needed to move forward on an uninhabited island in the vast ocean.

After setting off again, Naruto Uzumaki, who had lost a lot of weight, sat on the bow of the boat, blowing the sea breeze, and complained carelessly.

As one of the main persons in charge, Shiranui Genma, holding a thousand books in his mouth, responded somewhat unhappily:

"The Yun Ninja said that Turtle Island's whereabouts were uncertain. This time we went too far. It took a lot of time to determine the route, and we took many detours!"

Because it is top secret, even the guide who leads the way does not know the location of Turtle Island very well. He can only make his own judgment based on past experience and the instructions of his superiors.

Fortunately, we should be able to reach our destination in a short time.

It is said that we can catch up with Turtle Island in one week at most, but no one can guarantee the actual situation.

On the Ninja World Continent, the area near the north has begun to snow, and the vast sea is also experiencing waves of north wind.

During the past few days of sailing, everyone has seen floating icebergs several times.

"Oh, if only Sakura was here, it wouldn't be so boring! It's obviously a formed team, why do we have to split up?"

“Everyone is very busy!”

The toothpick ninja curled his lips. He didn't want to come, but he couldn't resist it. The Fifth Hokage and Tsunade had given orders and had to obey.

Tenzo needs to watch over the tailed beasts stranded in Konoha Village, and Sakura is the leader of the medical joint team that will be formed soon. Only people with no special tasks will come to this kind of place, which takes time and has no skills. The content can only be tolerated.

Along the way, Uzumaki Naruto, who had time to think, also thought a lot. Looking back on what happened in the past few years, especially when he traveled with Jiraiya to the ninja world and returned after completing his studies, many major events happened.

Konoha Village was almost wiped out by the enemy, the Sixth Generation of Hokage died, and the Ninja World War was about to break out.

This is still relatively influential, and there are endless incidents of inferior quality.

For example, going to Turtle Island to experience this time, in the past, how could such a good thing have happened?

It would be nice if Konoha ninja and Kumo ninja met without fighting.

The sea breeze rolled up thick fog and the visibility quickly decreased. Uzumaki Naruto, who was extremely wet all over his body, stood up and walked towards the cabin.

"I hope that 'Waterfall of Reality' can make me stronger!"

Although he really made a splash when Nagato attacked the village, he did nothing in the following period, especially when he failed to gain the upper hand against Uchiha Sasuke and allowed the Sixth Hokage and Shimura Danzo to be defeated. The assassination caused a lot of setbacks to the confidence of "Destiny's Child".

This also made Uzumaki Naruto realize that his strength had really reached a bottleneck.

Relying on his own physical fitness and fairly good qualifications, as well as the careful teachings of Hatake Kakashi and Jiraiya, he has made it to this point without any danger. He really needs a little "accident" to stimulate and change a little more. .

In a nutshell, there are nine tails to success and nine tails to failure.

If he can't reach a reconciliation with the tailed beast in his body and join forces, but instead restrains each other, Uzumaki Naruto's path will basically come to an end.

If you want to achieve this step, you need to have an honest talk with the tailed beast in your body, otherwise, no matter how many assumptions you make, they will be illusory phantoms.

In order to convince Kumo Ninja to let Uzumaki Naruto land on Turtle Island and enter the Real Waterfall, no one knows what price the entire Konoha Village paid.

In short, you must not miss this good opportunity.

Just as the big ship on the sea was riding the wind and waves, nearly two hundred meters below the sea surface, a huge submersible like a sperm whale followed the big ship silently.

From the outside, it looks like a swimming giant underwater beast, hiding in the dim shadows. From top to bottom, nothing can be seen.

Inside the submersible, a petite puppet picked out a fish from the skin bag beside him and threw it back. Before it landed on the floor, an invisible monster stretched out its tongue and rolled it into its mouth to swallow it.

The prototype of the guy appeared, which was obviously an oversized chameleon. After eating a fish, he seemed to have just woken up from hibernation and opened his mouth wide to yawn.

That's right, there's only one living creature in this spacious giant submersible: the giant chameleon.

In addition, the only thing that can move is the small Temari-shaped puppet that Daimaru first made.

The ninjas riding boats on the water are all powerful ninjas. Even if they are nearly 200 meters underwater, a mistake can easily be detected.

In order to maintain secrecy, the submersible does not surface at all. In this case, it cannot be controlled by a living person, not even a ninja. If the chakra fluctuations are more severe, it will be detected.

Therefore, only giant chameleons that require little supplies and can use deep sleep to reduce consumption can play the role of driver.

After working for a long time, Temari, a small puppet who could not feel tired, stretched unconsciously.

The aggregate cell puppet has a strong learning ability. Even if it does not understand the meaning of the actions of Daimaru and the people around him, it can still learn the behavior perfectly.

Standing up, in this underwater cabin, which was quite spacious for her, little Temari came to the compartment at the rear. There was a carefully decorated bedroom. When nothing happened, the little one would come and lie down, as if Rest, and from time to time take care of your appearance and outfit in front of the glass mirror hanging on the wall.

Pressing the switch, the lights came on, and a figure similar to the current Temari Yue Jiufen, but significantly smaller in size appeared in the mirror. Even the slightly smaller size and temperament were lifelike.

Of course, overall, Temari's figure was still very well-proportioned. Although Daimaru occasionally secretly teased her about her short legs, she was actually not that short. Among the young girls Daimaru is familiar with, except for Yome, who has almost no hope of growing taller, Temari is even slightly taller than Hinata Hinata, but that is probably the limit.

When I usually get along with Daimaru, especially when I meet Kurama Yakumo and Miss Saya by chance, I am still a little worried about my obviously shorter stature.

As for his best friend, he has not graduated from the ninja school and is 1.72 meters tall. Now he is even taller and more sassy. That is even more incomparable.

In terms of appearance, Temari inherited the beauty of her mother, Garuro, and also restored a lot of her petite size.

After taking care of her messy blond hair, the little puppet Temari checked the remaining energy of the submersible and found that it could still last for more than a month, and her agitated mood calmed down.

Tracking Uzumaki Naruto and his party was a chore. In order to find the location of Turtle Island and determine the effect of the secret realm "True Waterfall", Daimaru also took great pains.

Near the submersible, there are actually some camouflaged small fish and shrimps, all of which are simulated lives created using puppetry to help monitor the movements on the sea.

Just when the little puppet Temari, who was not very sharp but had a high IQ, began to think about how such a journey would be, suddenly there was a strange fluctuation outside.

The little guy quickly returned to the cockpit and turned on the monitoring equipment. A burst of triumphant cheers came from the sea. At the same time, through the invisible periscope, the little Temari also saw the giant thing gradually appearing in the mist in the distance. That was what everyone was looking for. Turtle Island for a long time.

Little Temari, who didn't have much emotion at first, breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. At the same time, she erased a rune array at hand. The hidden fluctuations were transmitted to the distance along the natural energy, reaching the first puppet relay station on the east coast of the ninja continent. , and then confiscated by Daimaru.

On the sea, through the fog, the large ship approaching Turtle Island was intercepted by several figures from far and near. After checking the pass, the ship was allowed to dock at the port.

Under the water, the huge submersible stretched out its tough tentacles, grabbed the rocks on the edge of Turtle Island, and swam slowly together. Little Temari was wearing a small diving suit, holding the invisible chameleon who had been impatient for a long time. Sneak ashore and submerge into the depths of the slightly desolate subtropical jungle.

On the other side, Naruto Uzumaki jumped off the deck, his feet on the ground after a long absence, stretching his waist and neck, temporarily forgetting the conditions he was about to encounter next, and allowing his almost rusty body to be a little more flexible.

"Is that the kid?"

A stationed Kumo ninja looked suspiciously at Uzumaki Naruto, who didn't seem to have the demeanor of a strong man.

The same famous Jinchuuriki, Kirabi, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Kumogakure Village, although a bit eccentric and obsessed with creating art, at least when he is serious, he is still very powerful.

Most of the kids like Uzumaki Naruto who are around sixteen years old are still fighting for their chuunin qualifications.

Those who can be sent to Turtle Island's "Waterfall of Reality" for training are all true masters. It is difficult to break through ordinary practice. It requires the sublimation of one's mind to go further. That's why the "Waterfall of Reality" is needed to gain insight into one's true heart. Tap into the power within.

Naruto Uzumaki, who has a sense of stupidity in his every move, is already that level of a master?

It’s no wonder that everyone suspected that before truly seeing his strength, Uzumaki Naruto’s persuasiveness was indeed somewhat lacking.

After the handover between the visitors and the garrison, some things had to be arranged.

Fortunately, the Turtle Island side had received the order in advance, so nothing unpleasant happened.

The plot of some blind guy questioning and being forcefully slapped in the face by Uzumaki Naruto did not happen. It was just that the group was placed in a settlement to recuperate and feel refreshed before going to the "Reality Waterfall".

In the words of Yun Ninja, seeing the true heart is no less than a spiritual war. You must be mentally prepared and maintain your best condition in order to pass the trial.

Uzumaki Naruto, who was tired from the journey, now needed to calm down his excitement and anxiety before proceeding to the next step.

…

The entire Turtle Island is not too big, but there are too many densely packed restrictions and barriers, and Yun Ninja will notice it accidentally.

In addition, although the giant tortoise that serves as the cornerstone of the island sleeps most of the time, once it encounters a threat, its counterattack is quite terrifying.

Of course, the little puppet Temari and the invisible chameleon who sneaked in carefully did not intend to become enemies with the Kumo ninja. After all, they were all allies and they had to live up to their reputation.

Passing through layers of shrubs, the giant chameleon carefully walked through the gaps in the defense. After crossing a small stream against the current, he saw a not spectacular waterfall and fell into a pool at the lower end.

After realizing that this was most likely the "Waterfall of Truth" that was well hidden by Kumo Ninja, the puppet Temari took out a huge scroll from the mouth of the giant chameleon. After unfolding it, psychic runes were drawn on it. , a burst of chakra fluctuations erupted, and a muscular figure appeared out of thin air across a long distance. It was Daimaru who had been waiting for a long time.

"Thanks a lot!"

These days, I am always walking through the dark seabed. If I were a normal human being, I would probably be either dead or crazy.

After seeing this waterfall and pool containing strange power, my efforts finally bore fruit.

As he spoke, Daimaru stretched out his big hand and gently rubbed the little puppet's head. Just as he was about to make the next move, he suddenly froze and immediately stared into the little puppet's eyes.

After a few seconds, Daimaru smiled gently:

"Do you also want to go inside the 'Real Waterfall'? Of course you can, it's better to hit the sun on another day, now!"

Under Daimaru's encouraging eyes, the little puppet Temari broke free from Daimaru's hand, jumped up, landed on the rocks of the pool in front of the waterfall, and sat down cross-legged.

Daimaru was not idle either, he carefully set up genjutsu traps around him to prevent the patrolling Kumo ninjas from discovering anything unusual here.

A few minutes later, just when Daimaru was doubting the effect of the "Waterfall of Reality", he saw the little puppet Temari, who had closed his eyes and meditated, suddenly collapsed and turned into a mass of blood mist-like cell polymers that kept changing shapes. , the face sometimes looks like Temari, sometimes shows the characteristics of Daimaru, and even has the prototype of other creatures.

"The true heart! Does it actually start from the positioning of one's own life form?"

After several transformations, the little puppet Temari is far different from her original self. Whether she can cross the gap from a single cell polymer to a true fused life depends on her own daily accumulation.
