"If we fail to come back, we will follow the first option, which is to visit through normal diplomacy with the Fourth Mizukage, enter the Kingdom of Water, and search for and respond to you."
And that means that this mission has completely failed.
Nara Shikaku didn't say these last words, but both Sasuke and Shikamaru knew the meaning very well.
-
The sea, merchant ship, above the deck.
The warm winter sun hangs high in the sky at noon, and the cold wind eases slightly.
The sea surface rises and falls quietly, like a huge gray-blue carpet.
According to old sailors, this is rare good weather.
"Sneaking into the Kingdom of Water and sneaking into the Kirigakure Village are two completely different things."
Tanaka Ryota, dressed as a businessman, appeared next to Sasuke and others again, trying his best to sound like a casual chat.
If it weren't for Dazna's repeated requests, he would not have been willing to wade into this muddy water anyway.
More than a year ago, he was just a small clerk under Caddo Company.
Until Cardo was killed by Zabuza, everything in the company was divided up by several directors. The bigwigs were anxious to cash out and their lives were turned around.
First, he received a severance pay from the Cardo Company. Later, with the construction of the Naruto Bridge, the private trade in the Wave Country also became increasingly prosperous.
He also seized the opportunity and tried to build this merchant ship to travel back and forth between the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Water.
After more than a year of hard work, I have finally opened a new chapter in my life.
In a sense, the members of Team 7 of Konoha Hidden Village are indeed their benefactors.

"Don't worry, you just need to send us to the Kingdom of Water. You don't need to think about the rest."
Nara Shikamaru heard something in Ryota's words and reiterated this point again to reassure him.
Sasuke stared at the endless sea in a daze.
A group of seagulls were playing in the distance, their feathers were smooth and soft, like a gorgeous silver dress, sparkling with charming luster in the sun.
"Then just to be on the safe side, could you please change into these clothes?"
Long Tai hesitated.
At this time, Sasuke and others had taken off Konoha's forehead protectors, but they were still dressed as ninjas.
Long Tai took out a few pieces of clothing commonly found in caravans from behind.
Linen clothes, horse hakama, and bamboo hat.
“They are all very clean!”
Seeing the astonished looks in several people's eyes, Ryota quickly added, for fear of upsetting Sasuke and the others.
"I reject."
After just one glance, Kimimaro said.
Ryuta didn't dare to say a word, but just looked at Shikamaru, who seemed to be the most talkative, with a look for help.
"Ah, there's really nothing we can do about it. You're thinking about us, too."
Shikamaru smiled and took all the clothes, saying that he would change into them all before getting off the ship.
Sasuke didn't really care about this. At this moment, he was thinking about other things.
"Hey, Uncle Longta!"
When Ryota was about to retreat, he was suddenly stopped by Sasuke.
"Do you know what Terumi Mei is like?"
Sasuke asked.
"She is very famous!"
In fact, Longtai had never met this person with his own eyes, but he still spoke eloquently and eloquently.
"That is a very exciting woman! Her hair is long and soft, and her figure is also a first-class! Even if you look at the entire Water Kingdom, she is a first-class beauty!"
"What? Are you going to find her this time?"
As soon as Terumi Mei was mentioned, Tanaka Ryuta relaxed completely and started talking more.
Shikamaru quickly warned Sasuke with his eyes. Sasuke understood and said calmly: "No, I just heard her name."
Tanaka Ryota showed an "I understand" smile and flattered him: "Amazing, amazing! Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth!"
What a mess.
Sasuke was very unhappy. Just as he was about to say a few words, Shikamaru quickly stopped him and said, "If nothing happens, let's go back and change clothes first!"
After saying that, he quickly pulled Sasuke off the deck.
Speechless all the way.
After three days and two nights, the ship finally entered the port on the west coast of the Kingdom of Water.
Tanaka Ryuta changed his reserved demeanor in front of Sasuke and others, and looked resolute, commanding the sailors to hurry up and unload the cargo.
Sasuke and the others, except for Kimimaro, had also changed into ordinary sailor clothes and were ready to blend in.
"and many more."
Shikamaru Nara looked at Sasuke's outfit and always felt something was wrong.
Although he put on the same clothes, Sasuke's cold and handsome face looked even more out of place.
There is a kind of noble son from some family who is determined to go deep into the grassroots to inspect.
Shikamaru grabbed some dust on the ground and lightly smeared it on Sasuke's face. After making sure it was no longer dazzling, the three of them walked off the merchant ship.
Unloading completed.
Ryuta Tanaka was busy running around, dealing with the delivery party, customs, cabin maintenance and other parties.
The sailors had some time to spare and lined up to enter customs and receive temporary certificates.
As is customary, sailors find some fun and relaxation in this coastal town.
After the boss has sorted things out, he will load up another batch of goods and go back.
"Hey! Are you a sailor too?"
Sasuke looked back and saw that Kimimaro had indeed been stopped, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Asshole! I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?!"
The security work of the customs was also handled by the Kirigakure ninjas, and all they could hear was that man cursing loudly.
"I'm not a sailor, I'm a ninja from the Kingdom of Water. Also, I don't like the way you talk."
Kimimaro stretched out a bone sword from his palm, appeared behind the man like a ghost, and aimed it at his throat.
The surrounding sailors and other guard ninjas became nervous.
"Zigumai, are you from the Kaguya clan?!"
The threatened person recognized Kimimaro's blood inheritance limit and stammered.
Kimimaro didn't comment, put away his bone sword, and rushed inside.
"How is that possible? Aren't you already exterminated?"
The ninja was pushed away by Kimimaro, and his companions supported him and asked with lingering fear.
Kimimaro didn't respond.
There were a few stunned green genin behind him who wanted to stop them. This person quickly stretched out his hand to block them and whispered:
"This is the bloodline limit that has disappeared for many years. Don't waste your life in vain and inform the ANBU-sama immediately."

As far as the eye can see, the mountains of Water Country stretch out.
The current coastal town called Akamachi also has undulating steps and slopes everywhere, and the buildings in the city are also built against the mountains in a well-proportioned manner.
It's not all flat like the Fire Country.
The weather is sunny, but the snow on the eaves remains, just like a fairy tale kingdom.
The city is always shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making the whole town look mysterious and ethereal.
"If it will cause trouble to the mission, we can separate from him first."
Sasuke walked behind Kimimaro, lowered his voice and said to Shikamaru beside him.
On the one hand, he didn't want to interfere with Kimimaro's freedom.
But on the other hand, this mission is not just his own business. Sasuke still understands what is more important and which is less important.
"It's okay," Shikamaru replied.
He has thought very clearly about this: "There are two ways to hide. One is to try your best to cover up your whereabouts and try not to be discovered at all.
"The other kind is lurking next to another lie. Even if it is discovered, there will be an extra layer of buffer."
"What lie?" Sasuke couldn't turn around for a moment.
"It's like having an affair. Some people choose to do it secretly, while others do it openly under the banner of pure friendship."
"I see. So, even if we are discovered by others, we will all be considered to be helping Kimimaro find the truth about the clan, not..."
Sasuke understood immediately.
At the same time, because of the adult orientation of Shikamaru's metaphor, she couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes.
As if to say, do you know so much?
