Naruto Shadow Mage

 A land of water, surrounded by sea.

 Hence, off-roading and Jiraiya go together. If you want to reach the land of water from the land of fire, you also need to take the waterway.

However, Cross Country believed that if he and Jiraiya really had no idea of ​​hiding anything and went to the border of the Land of Fire without disguise and prepared to take the waterway to the Kingdom of Water, maybe neither of them would have done anything. If they can reach the seaport of the Country of Fire and take the waterway, their whereabouts will be discovered.

 As for the person to be wary of when going off-road, it is definitely not the Third Hokage.

 After leaving the whirlpool of Konoha Village, the hostility of the Third Hokage is slowly decreasing.

 In other words, with Danzo Shimura around, the Third Hokage's attention on Off-Road will definitely be reduced, not to mention that there is Jiraiya who is loyal to the Third Hokage beside Off-Road?

The one that Cross Country is really afraid of is Madara who is probably still hiding in the Mist Ninja Village.

Even though he hasn’t had a confrontation with Banye for a long time, Banye’s terror and conspiracy still put him on the alert. It seemed that Jiraiya was better. He had no idea that when Madara was still alive, going to the Land of Water was like traveling. He took Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto to play along the way. , and the relationship with the two brats gradually became harmonious.

But after about three days of traveling like a tourist, the group of people in the Cross Country finally arrived at the port of the Land of Water. Seeing Jiraiya still looking nonchalant, the Cross Country finally couldn't help but want to Remind Jiraiya that there may be a huge crisis hidden in the Kingdom of Water, and there is also an enemy hidden that cannot be ignored.

"Jiraiya-sama, we are about to enter the border port. Do we need to disguise ourselves?"

"Jiraiya-sama, how long do you want to eat? You've eaten all the way, can't you hold on?"

Seeing that Jiraiya was holding snacks in his left and right hands, he looked more like a child than Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto. He sighed helplessly and asked Jiraiya. Who would have thought that Jiraiya would answer like this? .

"Nara Cross Country, are you too careful? Even during the Ninja War, there is not much danger for us entering the Kingdom of Water. After all, the Kingdom of Water is so big, and it is impossible for the Mist Ninja Village to extend its sphere of influence. Shrouded in the entire Kingdom of Water."

“Besides, now that the ninja war is over, what are you still afraid of?”

“To take a step back, with the two of us here, there seems to be nothing to be afraid of, right?”

As he spoke, Jiraiya still looked relaxed, but his eyes gradually became serious, and he turned to communicate mentally and said: "Jiraiya-sama, if you enter the Kingdom of Water with such thoughts, I feel that within three days of entering the Kingdom of Water, you must have died miserably within the Kingdom of Water. Didn't you realize that Teacher Minato knows that the source of information about the secret master of escape in the Kingdom of Water is very strange? , most likely a trap.”

"Okay, as I just said, there is no need to worry too much about the two of us traveling together. But don't forget, Gaara and Naruto are with us. In case of a fierce battle, If anything goes wrong between the two of them, I won't be able to explain it to the Suna Ninja Village, and I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to Minato-sensei either, right?"

　　It’s about Gaara, Uzumaki Naruto, and as expected, Jiraiya’s eyes gradually became serious.

Immediately, he spat out the snacks in his mouth casually and glanced warily in both directions. Jiraiya used a deep voice in mental communication to reply to the cross-country road: "What you said makes sense. For Naruto, we all We must be careful. Moreover, if someone really wants to lure Minato to the Water Kingdom, then we cannot enter the Water Kingdom through the normal route."

 “Nara Cross Country, you come with me.”

 “I’ll take you on a secret route and dive into the kingdom of water!”

"good!"

After listening to Jiraiya's words, Cross Country nodded, and immediately took Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto to follow Jiraiya's footsteps, ready to see what kind of magical powers the Sannin had and how they could do it without being noticed. Take them along the waterway and sneak into the Kingdom of Water.

 There is no doubt that it is very difficult to dive into the kingdom of water.

 Because, almost every ship arriving at the port of the Kingdom of Water must be inspected by the ninjas of the Mist Ninja Village.

Even if someone can escape the inspection of the ninjas of Mist Ninja Village and successfully enter the Kingdom of Water.

But people who have been disguised must all have unfamiliar faces, right?

The ninjas in Mist Ninja Village often remember the information about these new faces. Whenever something happens in the Kingdom of Water, these new faces are the first targets to be captured.

It is also because of this that Jiraiya is confident that he can sneak into the Kingdom of Water quietly, which makes him look forward to the cross-country.

But what Cross Country never expected was that just when he was expecting Jiraiya to get a luxury passenger ship for smuggling, they could sneak into the Kingdom of Water quietly.

Not long after, Jiraiya led Cross Country and others to a broken fishing boat, which made Cross Country's eyes twitch violently.

“Jiraiya-sama, is this okay?”

They stared closely at the fishing boat in front of them. They were really afraid of going off-road. They were sneaking on the fishing boat and they had not even left the border of the Land of Fire. The fishing boat was about to be washed away by the waves in the vast ocean.

Jiraiya, on the other hand, patted his shoulder confidently after hearing what he said about cross-country.

Moreover, as if they were afraid of going off-road and not believing it, when they went off-road, Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto boarded the fishing boat with disgusted faces and sat on the small deck filled with the smell of fish, Jiraiya He slowly came to the side of Cross Country and said: "Nara Cross Country, I can tell by the look on your face that you are very fond of the boat I am looking for, right? But you have to know that the more luxurious the ship, the more expensive it is. It’s easy to attract other people’s attention. On the other hand, there are so many fishing boats like ours in the Water Kingdom, and even if someone is observing, they can’t keep an eye on every fishing boat, right?”

When Jiraiya said this, cross-country felt a bit reasonable, but he was still concerned about whether the fishing boat could cross the sea, and he frowned and asked: "But Lord Jiraiya, is there really no problem with such a fishing boat? The sea area can be These are not areas we are good at. If we encounter a shipwreck, we will be in trouble! "

 “Don’t worry!”

Knowing what Xue Qi was worried about, Jiraiya smiled casually, then suddenly looked into the distance and said mysteriously:

“Nara Cross Country, the owner of this fishing boat is a believer of Poseidon!”

“I have never heard that believers of Poseidon can die in the ocean, so you should be at ease and prepare to dive into the kingdom of water with me!”

 “Hahahahaha!”
