The old man was wearing a straw raincoat, a bamboo hat, and a tightly wrapped winter coat. Shen Yu realized that the air was extremely cold, and just exhaling would bring up a large amount of white mist.

“That… young man, it’s so cold, why are you wearing so little?” The old man spoke first, staring at Shen Yu’s bare upper body, and was stunned.

Logically speaking, such a thin body should have been frozen blue and purple, but the boy’s skin was still white and rosy, and even emitted a faint heat.

“Uh… I accidentally damaged my clothes when I went to the sea to fish.” Shen Yu scratched his head and came to the old man, “Old man, do you have any extra clothes over there? Lend me some?”

His clothes had been torn to pieces by the water arrows under strong pressure, and were crushed in the deep sea together with his ninja bag, purse, supply bag, and dry food.

His physique as strong as that of a “sea god” makes him strong enough to resist severe cold and heat, but the Iron Country is located in severe cold weather. It is not good to be naked in the cold weather and be seen by ordinary people. He does not like to be treated as an alien.

The old man hesitated, “There is no extra clothes. There is indeed a raincoat in the cabin, but…”

Shen Yu saw the old man’s embarrassment and immediately smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t take your clothes for nothing. Let’s do this, I will exchange things with you!”

“This…” The old man raised his hand and was thinking about how to refuse politely, but he didn’t expect that the boy in front of him had turned around, jumped, and jumped into the sea in front of him.

“Plop!”

The waves rolled, and white foam appeared, drowning all traces.

“This…” The old man was scared and sat on the ground. He had never seen such a person in his life.

Not to mention that you are young, you can jump dozens of meters high… The tide is about to recede, and he dared to go to the sea at this time!

He was not shocked for too long. After just a dozen seconds, Shen Yu jumped out of the sea, landed in the same posture, and stood in front of the old man.

“Huh——”

The wind was howling, the water was splashing, the old man hurriedly stepped back, squinted his eyes tightly, and even his hat was blown away.

“I’ll trade this fish with you.” Shen Yu smiled and threw a big round fish next to the old man.

“This is…”

A faint smell of the sea came to his nose, and the old man approached doubtfully. Suddenly, his turbid eyes sparkled!

“Bluefin tuna!”

“Wow… where did you catch this…”

“Didn’t you see it just now?” Shen Yu didn’t look back and pointed to the sea behind him.

“I have only seen this fish once, and it was brought back by my son. It is said to live thousands of meters below the sea surface. Only the ninjas of the Land of Water have the ability to catch it…”

Shen Yu folded his hands and raised his chin, “Do you like it? Exchange your raincoat.”

“Oh, this is too expensive…”

“Do you want to exchange it?”

“Exchange!”

Shen Yu took the raincoat with a smile, and the old man gave him a bamboo hat to express his gratitude.

Shen Yu turned and left, using the cover of the jungle to make hand seals.

“Spiritual summons!!”

The white smoke dissipated, and a slender tabby cat appeared in front of him.

“Hiss, it’s so cold, meow.” The ninja cat shook off the snow on his body and grinned.

“Zezhu, go back and tell Pochi to summon me back to the cat house.”

“I can’t do it, meow, Pochi isn’t here.”

“What?” Shenyu was surprised, “Where else can it go if it’s not in the cat house?”

“I don’t know~” Zezhu shook his head.

“Where’s Tachibana Maru?”

“Tachibana Maru was just called away by Uchiha Hikaru yesterday, and is now in a cooling-off period, meow.”

“Okay…” Shenyu said casually, “Then go back and summon me back to the cat house.”

“Stupid Shenyu, have you forgotten that the summoning time is fixed?”

Zezhu jumped onto the tree trunk and licked the snowflakes on the pads, “You summoned me once, and the next summoning will be three days later. We can’t summon each other during this period.”

“Ah…” Shenyu covered his face, feeling hopeless, “That means I can only walk back by myself.”

“Chenghui~” Shinobi cat Zezhu raised a paw.

“No, buddy.” Shen Yu’s eyes widened, “You didn’t do anything, what reward do you want?”

“I’ll keep your secret and not let other ninja cats know, meow.” Zesuke showed his human cunning, “Or does Shen Yu no longer care about his own information…?”

Shen Yu’s face darkened, and he twitched his mouth in frustration, and then threw it a fish.

“You can see that I’m very poor now, so I’ll use this to pay off my debts first.” Shen Yu turned in front of it and showed his raincoat.

“Pah”, Zesuke threw the sea fish angrily, “It’s like this again!”

A few minutes later, the old man who was pouring salt on the beach turned back, and the boy just now actuallyGo and come back.

“Old man, let me ask you another question. Do you know how to get to the Fire Country? Just tell me a general direction.”

The Iron Country has a cold climate and is covered with heavy snow all day long. The further west you go, the lower the temperature.

Fortunately, Shen Yu was wearing a straw raincoat. Even if his chest was bare inside, no one could see it under the cover of the snow.

According to the old man, the place where he landed happened to be the easternmost coast of the Iron Country. If he wanted to return to the Fire Country, he had to go west, pass through the capital, and cross the entire country.

It was a long journey to the capital. I don’t know how many mountains there were on the way. The mountains were stacked and the forests were everywhere. Coupled with the cold climate, the road conditions were really worrying for ordinary people.

Even the fastest horse would have to run for several days and nights to reach the destination.

But for Shen Yu, this was not a problem. He only needed a direction.

The ninja’s way of traveling is simple and crude. With only a pair of legs, they can easily cross mountains and rivers.

For ordinary people, ninjas are super-powered. Their speed can easily surpass any beast. When they are running at full speed, they are just like human high-speed trains, and they are not afraid of any terrain restrictions. In addition, they consume little physical energy. One grain pill can support them to run for three days and three nights!

So Shen Yu concentrated on the direction pointed by the old man and ran for a whole day without saying a word.

But what he saw was still snow-covered, which meant that he had not run out of the scope of the Iron Country at all.

You know, before he became the “Sea God Body”, his normal speed had reached Mach 12, and now it has been increased to a terrifying Mach 30, which has exceeded his original “Second Rest Gate”. Although it is not as fast as in the water, it is enough to make most ninjas far behind.

Logically speaking, it wouldn’t take long to cross the Iron Country…

He noticed something was wrong and found a nearby village. After asking around, he found out that he was still wandering east of the Iron Country!

“That’s impossible. Is that old man lying to me? Or did he give me the wrong direction?”

He asked more than a dozen people for directions. After seeing that the directions pointed out by these locals were the same, he finally smiled with relief.

One night later.

“What! Where do you say this is?”
