 “Poseidon Cult?”

 The national conditions of the Water Kingdom are completely different from those of other countries.

For example, in the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Thunder, few people in the country are religious. To use the saying before cross-country travel, these people are realist people. The only What they can trust is the Ninja Village established within the country. However, in the Kingdom of Water, it may be related to the landforms of the Kingdom of Water surrounded by sea. The people in the Kingdom of Water generally have faith. Even in the Mist Ninja Village, many ninjas have faith. It can be said to be a very interesting thing.

 However, the more faith there is, the more people rely on faith to make money.

 Very often, such things happen in the Kingdom of Water.

That is, in a town, a new sect appears for no reason. Those who believe in the religion can obtain eternal life, and those who do not believe in the religion will go to hell.

There is no doubt that such cults are basically used to make money.

What's more, some wandering ninjas like to establish sects in the Kingdom of Water, but the final result of these wandering ninjas is often to face strangulation by the Mist Ninja Village.

 Poseidon Cult?

　　It sounds like the name of a cult!

Therefore, when Cross Country learned from Jiraiya that the fishermen in the fishing boat they were on were actually followers of the Poseidon Cult, the corners of his eyes twitched fiercely. Cross Country used the spiritual energy in the Yin Escape Brand to quickly It blocked the perception ability of the fishermen on the fishing boat. Even if Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto were in front of these fishermen, these fishermen could not see Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto's existence, and even their voices could not be heard. Can't hear it.

 As the off-road spiritual energy spreads out, Jiraiya must be the first one to notice it.

However, knowing that it is necessary to be cautious when going off-road, Jiraiya didn't say much.

On the contrary, the owner of this fishing boat suddenly found that there was only a disguised off-road boat. When Jiraiya got on the boat, he walked up to Jiraiya curiously and asked, "Jiraiya-sama, didn't you say there were four people?" Are you going to the Kingdom of Water? Why are there only two of you?"

“Hahaha, two little guys suddenly felt unwell, so we didn’t take them with us.”

"Fortunately! Fortunately! Master Jiraiya, you don't know that women and children are not allowed on our ship. Fortunately, you left the children on the shore. Otherwise, not only would we not be able to reach the Kingdom of Water smoothly, Even whether we can pass through the Devil’s Sea is a problem!”

 “Oh? How do you say it?”

Hearing what the owner of the fishing boat said, Cross Country frowned slightly, glanced at Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto, and asked, "Why can't you have women or children on your boat? Is there some taboo?"

“Sir, you are right, it is related to the sect I believe in.”

 “Is it Poseidon Cult again?”

“That’s right, it’s the Poseidon Cult.”

Hearing the words of the owner of the fishing boat, Cross Country once again used the spiritual energy in the Yin Escape Brand, and surprisingly started to read the memory of the owner of the fishing boat when the other party relaxed his guard.

 Obviously, there are two confusions about off-roading at this time.

 First, why could the owner of this fishing boat know Jiraiya, and why he seemed to be from Jiraiya.

 Second, what kind of sect is the so-called Poseidon Religion?

 Who is the so-called Poseidon?

Secretly reading the memory of the owner of the fishing boat in front of him, because the other person is just an ordinary person. Cross-country uses the Yin Escape Brand ability to read his memory. Not only is it impossible for him to discover, but it is also impossible to hide any content.

Soon, with the memory of the owner of this fishing boat, the confusion of cross-country was solved.

Let’s first talk about how the owner of this fishing boat knows Jiraiya and is a member of Jiraiya.

It turned out that the owner of this fishing boat was originally from the Land of Fire. He was often bullied by other fishermen at the border of the Land of Fire. When Jiraiya was traveling in the Ninja World, he accidentally saved him, so he regarded Jiraiya as a fisherman. He was the savior and became a member of Jiraiya's intelligence network.

 Jiraiya usually seems to be quite upright, but he actually knows how to win people's hearts.

The owner of this fishing boat was originally an ordinary person who was bullied. It was Jiraiya's appearance that gave him the capital to survive. He can now become the owner of this fishing boat because of the funds provided by Jiraiya.

 So, it is possible for others to be loyal to Jiraiya.

As for the owner of this fishing boat, his new life was given by Jiraiya, so there is no possibility of betraying him.

 Let’s talk about Poseidon Religion.

Speaking of the Poseidon Cult, we must talk about a dangerous area leading to the sea of ​​the Kingdom of Water, called the Devil's Sea.

There is a legend circulating around the Kingdom of Water that there is a sea area inhabited by devils. No ship, not even a ship driven by the Mizukage of the Mist Ninja Village, can pass through that devil's sea area. The appearance of the Devil's Sea was about a hundred years ago, when the Mist Ninja Village was still not established. This legend has been spread to this day, which can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is also because of the reputation of the Devil's Sea that no one who is familiar with the sea is willing to pass through the Devil's Sea. However, about a few decades ago, with the establishment of the Poseidon Religion, the mysterious veil of the Devil's Sea gradually faded away.

As a believer of Poseidon, you need to pay a certain amount of tribute every year, not gold and silver, but women or children.

These tributes sound more like sacrifices.

But after handing in the sacrifices, as long as you are a believer in Poseidon Religion, you can go to sea without incident. Even if you enter the so-called devil's sea, you can reach your destination safely. Over time, the Poseidon Cult became a very famous sect in the Kingdom of Water. The fishing boat owners under Jiraiya have believed in the Poseidon Cult for nearly six years.

And his original intention of believing in Poseidon Religion may just be for safety.

 But for six whole days, in addition to being loyal to Jiraiya, this person was undoubtedly loyal to the Poseidon Sect.

"Except for the need to hand in sacrifices, the rest of the rules of Poseidon are similar to those of ordinary sects. It is not a real cult. However, why can't followers of Poseidon take women or children out to sea? Is it possible? , the so-called Poseidon is a monster who likes to eat women and children? "

“As long as there are women and children on board the ship, wouldn’t the Poseidon be able to control his instinct and attack the ship?”

 “It’s getting more and more interesting!”

After reading the memory of the owner of this fishing boat, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He immediately looked at Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto, and wanted to know whether Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto were on this fishing boat. What kind of waves it can make.

 And what about Jiraiya?

 He is just like off-road, he is also a person who is not afraid of trouble.

In this way, after learning about the Poseidon Cult and what happened in the Devil's Sea, and enduring the stench of the fishing boats, Cross Country and others successfully embarked on a journey to the Kingdom of Water.

Just when he was sailing on the sea, he never expected that a mere Poseidon Cult would cause him great trouble!
