Once the deck was filled with seated and standing people, the four Chunin from Uzumaki Village in the corner formed hand seals:
"Secret Technique: Lightweight Barrier!"
This barrier spell can alter the weight of objects and creatures within the space, allowing the deck to be overloaded for transport: this is why ships can be built in just two days.
Each floor can accommodate approximately 3,000 people. The "Noah's Ark Vortex," which is claimed to be able to carry tens of thousands of people, can only carry a maximum of 30,000 people at most, which is considered an overloaded transport.
It's important to know that even modern ships rarely carry tens of thousands of people.
"And the Jonin, protect the rich and beautiful..."
"The first batch of members has all arrived! We are ready to depart at any time!"
Above the first deck, there were no residents of the Land of Whirlpools standing, no one needing to flee for their lives: a black-haired Chunin from the Mizuhara clan stood in the watchtower above; two Chunin from the Tsuchiya clan stood on the steps of the second floor of the top deck below; even Yamanaka Kazutsukasa and Uzumaki Shinju were not present on the central deck.
"So."
"lets go!"
"Reach the other side of the Fire Country's border at top speed!" The whirlpool, its tip swirling, echoed through the air. A fierce, swift movement echoed, and the swirling flames seemed to pierce the sky. The whirlpool, its tip swirling, ...
Adjusting the rudder, hoisting the white mainsail on the deck...
At last,
These are the Konoha ninjas who arrived in the Land of Whirlpools early in the morning and stood behind the sailboats to support the Land of Whirlpools:
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
"Water Release: Water Flow!"
"Combination Ninjutsu: Hurricane Water Flow Technique!"
Boom boom boom——
The super-large sailboat finally set sail. The ninjas standing around the hull used the barrier again to block the air pressure in front, while giving the Konoha ninjas behind them room to accelerate.
Chapter 71: Jinchuriki Join the Battle, The Battlefield Ends at Light Speed
At this time, the border area of the Land of Fire, which is located near the Land of Water, also attracted the strongest support force currently in Konoha.
Meanwhile, on the sea surface in another direction, two large ninja fleets representing 'clouds' and 'mist' were quietly approaching the Land of Whirlpools step by step.
This time, Konoha is determined to protect the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Whirlpools.
The boat was very fast; normally, even a sailboat would take six or seven hours to sail by rowing.
But now, with the full cooperation of the ninjas, it only takes about an hour to reach the border area.
Among the first group of refugees from the Land of Whirlpools, many red-haired people came down from the deck.
"Phew. We've finally arrived in the Land of Fire. I wonder if the people of the Land of Fire will welcome us."
"No matter what, let's find a place to stay first."
Among these three thousand people were ordinary people as well as adults and children from the ninja clan.
Even though the Hokage of Konoha promised to negotiate with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to find a place for the people of Uzushiogakure to stay temporarily, everyone still felt a little uneasy.
Once everyone had disembarked, the whirlpool... (The text abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated anecdote about a person's life on the deck, followed by a series of seemingly random characters and symbols.)
Tread-tap-
The vortex, the new barrier, the joyful silence, the swelling, the use of my precious glass, the glass, the Chen said, which resistance to cooking, the poking, the stagnation, the quality of the gangrene, the scale, the Yu, the blowing, the mother, the comparison, the chariot.
Soon, a group of people wearing green armor made of Konoha came into view.
The ninjas leading the group were a black-haired man with Byakugan eyes and a woman with red hair in a bun.
The Konoha ninjas who were stationed there greeted the newcomers.
"Lord Mito! Lord Kumoya!" xN
"Mito? Could it be?!" The whirlpool-like figure, seemingly lost in thought, stared blankly at the screen. A glint of something in his eyes filled the air as he looked at the woman. The woman's expression was a mix of surprise and dread.
At this moment, the vortex lamp, which was scratching and moving, seemed to be shrouded in mist, its surface crackling with smoke. A faint, indistinct light emanated from it, and a sense of unease settled over the scene. The lamp's light seemed to pierce the air, and a faint, indistinct light shone through. The light seemed to pierce the air, and a faint, indistinct light shone through the scene ...
"You're sixty-one now. Are you one of the current Jonin of the Uzumaki clan?" Uzumaki Mito's gaze swept over him, scrutinizing him. Uzumaki nodded shyly, which made the seemingly girlish Uzumaki Mito smile. She patted his strong shoulder and said:
"really not bad."
"May I have your name."
"Whirlpool... Whirlpool Guillotine!"
Mito Uzumaki's gaze sharpened, and she smiled faintly: "Don't be shy. After all, I'm an old woman who's about to be buried in my coffin."
"She's not the teenage girl you're imagining~"
Whirlpool, deep vinegar, paired with Xinxing, Nijia, Na Ai, 荩, Zun, Shi, Mu》, 数狂恚, , 乃翟趺纯此, Ф疾幌褡婺讣侗鸬娜宋铩�
Then, Mito Uzumaki and Kumo Hyuga exchanged a glance. Kumo Hyuga understood the next steps and began to have all the residents line up to go through border security checks to prevent spies from entering the area.
To avoid angering the spies and causing them to attack, Hyuga Kumo and the members of the Hyuga clan even acted as security personnel, making physical contact with everyone: only the spies used chakra.
A team of over three thousand people conducting checks is nothing compared to the efficiency of ninjas.
As for why it was so fast, it's because at this moment, with the help of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Mito could clearly sense goodwill and malice, and then use her eyes and subtle movements to give hints to the Hyuga ninjas.
At this point, the spies from the enemy were naturally full of malice.
Soon, the two spies, disguised as ordinary people and possessing only mediocre genin skills, were both exposed.
"Wow, that's a lot."
"There are two spies out of more than three thousand people, and there are many more batches after that. I really can't believe it."
Mito Uzumaki's gaze swept over the two spies who had been acupunctured by the Hyuga clan:
"Hand them over to the interrogation department at the border."
"no no--"
"I'll quit being a spy! Please, Lady Mito, spare me!!"
The screams were useless; the Konoha ninjas who came over took the group away to the border camp for further interrogation and torture.
After everyone on each floor had finished their checks, the vortex cover was closed.
"Then I should go too, Lady Mito."
"Ah."
"Thank you for your trouble, stand up! [The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.]"
Before the bow of the large sailing ship, whirlpools swirled and churned.
......
After the group behind him settled the residents of the Land of Whirlpools into a temporary settlement that had been arranged beforehand at the border, and when there were no more people from the Land of Whirlpools in the area, Hyuga Kumo also came to Uzumaki Mito's side:
"Cough cough."
“Lord Mito, it’s quite chilly here. Why don’t we go back to the camp and rest?” Hyuga Yunye said respectfully. He knew the importance of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and he also knew Mito’s age.
When he learned that the elderly Mito had resolutely decided to join the battle, and that he had been appointed by the Third Hokage as the captain of the Jinchuriki guard, Yunye felt great respect for him.
Mito Uzumaki shook her head, her gaze forward revealing determination: "Kumoya."
"Please allow me to stand here for a while."
"Perhaps this is the last time I will look towards the Land of Whirlpools from across the coast."
"Lord Mito..." Upon hearing this, Hyuga Yun felt a pang of sadness.
Then, the convoys from the Land of Whirlpools seeking refuge from the war continued to arrive at the coast of the Land of Fire. At this time, the number of residents on the islands of the Land of Whirlpools was decreasing. Apart from some old-fashioned people with outdated ideas who were unwilling to leave, most of the younger generation obeyed the orders of the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools and left the home they had lived in for more than thirty years.
This was the last group to leave.
The first shift's guard duty has come to an end. In addition to the meager B-level bounty, they can also receive an S-level bounty: a special mission where a small team can share 750,000 taels.
This kind of job is what people mean by getting rich overnight.
Shirahoshi, along with Nawaki and Might Guy, boarded the ship. Feeling the sea breeze blowing through her black hair on the deck, Shirahoshi couldn't help but sigh:
"it is finally over."
The work that followed was beyond the level of a low-ranking ninja like him.
Until they landed on the coast of the Land of Fire and saw Mito Uzumaki appear.
At that moment, Nawaki called out to his grandmother and ran off the deck, hugging Mito. Shirahoshi and Might Guy nodded slightly to Mito in greeting.
"Thank you for your hard work, Rope Tree."
"It's not hard work, Grandma, but why did you come here? It's dangerous here!"
Knowing the dangers of the Land of Whirlpools, Nawaki didn't insist on staying on the battlefield this time. Mito smiled slightly, ruffled Nawaki's hair, and exchanged a glance with Shirahoshi and Dai:
"Grandma has a mission to take this time."
"You all go to the camp and rest, don't worry about Grandma."
"grandmother......"
As Nawaki was led away by Shirahoshi and Della, he looked back at Mito boarding the sailboat, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
On the way to the camp, Nawaki couldn't help but ask Shirahoshi and Dai beside him:
"Brother Bai Xing, Uncle Dai, do you really think my grandma is okay?"
Stepping over a tree trunk, Shirahoshi nodded slightly: "Of course. Lady Mito is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, she'll definitely be fine."
Mighty nodded and said, "Rope Tree, don't worry! Our current mission is to cooperate with the elite team from the village to escort the Uzumaki clan members back to the village."
As the information about the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the village could not deliberately hide it, because the First Hokage did not take any measures to keep it secret. Even the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, was known to many ninjas: you could tell from her hair and name.
At that time, when Kushina Uzumaki was captured by the Cloud Village ninja and had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, Mito Uzumaki was already too old to move around, and her sensory abilities were no longer usable. Therefore, she was not discovered when someone infiltrated the Senju clan's territory.
Even though Shirahoshi feels like she's setting a flag, that's just how ninjas are.
He couldn't stop any ninja who wanted to protect others.
Whether it's the enemy or the villagers.
Night fell quickly, and a shadow clone quietly appeared on the sea about ten kilometers from the island of Whirlpool Country, its gaze fixed ahead.
