I don't believe in the will of fire

Everyone came to the beach.

Sure enough, looking towards the sea, three huge red sailboats appeared on the other side of the horizon, like a few small red flowers dotting the blue sky.

When you get closer, you can see the monster patterns painted on the huge sail and the vermilion whirlpool icon that represents the Uzumaki Ninja Village.

"That should be the three tails."

Akio thought of something when he saw this, but he didn't say much.

Soon the ship docked, the boat came down from the deck, and a group of gorgeously dressed people got out of the three ships.

But what disappoints Asuka is that even though she looked around, she couldn't see the Uzumaki Shenyue that she had been thinking about so much.

"I don't know what that guy has become."

"Let's go there."

With such a small distance, Asuka obviously didn't want to go back to the carriage, so he walked over surrounded by this group of samurai and ninjas.

After all, this can be regarded as a meeting between countries to some extent, so both sides appear to be very polite.

On the Uzumaki Ninja Village side, there was a woman and a man walking at the front, while on the Fire Country side, Asuka and Yamanaka Akio were walking in front.

Akio recognized the two people from Uzumaki Village at a glance.

He also did his homework before coming.

In this year, although the existence of Uzumaki Ninja Village has not been officially announced in the ninja world, how could the five major countries and various small villages ignore such a rapidly rising village, especially when their leader killed the Third Hokage?

Uzumaki Shenyue, the first generation's direct bloodline is also in this village, not to mention the later ones, everyone was horrified to find that this village actually has a very obedient tailed beast.

No matter which one, there is no existence that the five great ninja villages can ignore.

This is also the reason why the daimyo dared to brazenly send Asuka to the Uzumaki Ninja Village this time.

In addition, Uzumaki Ninja Village itself also maintains a very open attitude and has no objection to outsiders.

It can be said that in this year, at least on the surface, the major ninja villages have thoroughly explored the Uzumaki ninja village.

Therefore, Akio also had an unusual understanding of the two big figures in front of him. Although he did not see Uzumaki Kamizuki, he felt real respect for Uzumaki Ninja Village being able to send two of the most powerful figures in the village.

"Minister Tai and Minister Hongzhou, I really didn't expect that it would be you two big shots who would greet us."

Taiyu was mainly responsible for the reception, while Hongzhou participated as a courtesy.

"You are too polite. You are Mr. Akio Yamanaka, and this should be Mr. Asuka. I am really sorry. Shenyue has something to do recently, so he cannot leave the village, so he has to send us to receive you.

"

Taiyu also said politely.

"You are so kind."

The two of them were chatting here, and Asuka's eyes were always on the beautiful woman in front of him.

From the moment she got close to him, she could feel the charming charm of maturity and confidence exuding from Taiyo's body.

Before that, although she roughly understood what Shenyue had said to her, she actually didn't know what kind of person she wanted to become.

But at this moment, she suddenly understood that maybe the woman in front of her was what she wanted to be in the future.

At this time, Taiyō also noticed the obsessed look on the face of the little girl, Princess Asuka of the Land of Fire, who was looking at him. He smiled softly, and then continued to communicate with Akio.

"Your Highness Princess, Lord Akio, you'd better get on the boat first. This is not the place to talk."

"Um."

After everyone exchanged greetings, and under the guidance of the people from Uzumaki Village, everyone began to slowly board the boat.

The other samurai and servants were arranged on the other two ships. Only Princess Asuka, Akio, and two personal maids were arranged on the same boat as Hetai and Hongzhou.

As soon as he got on the deck, Akio saw a silly, yawning young man and walked over and asked.

"Sister Taiyu, brother Hongzhou, have you received them yet?"

"Well, Rope Tree, get ready to set sail."

This made Akio stunned for a moment and he said in surprise.

"The Rope Tree...are you the Senju Rope Tree?"

Because the change was so big, Akio didn't even recognize it at a glance.

The last time he saw Naoki was when Naoki had just entered the ninja school. At that time, he had not yet become the guardian of the twelve ninjas. He was just an ordinary jounin in the village. He was curious about the bloodline of the first Hokage, so he went there secretly.

After taking a look at the bloodline of the legendary first generation, I didn't expect that after so many years, he had grown from a child to a handsome young man.

Although he had long heard that the only bloodline of the first Hokage of the Senju clan was now in the Uzumaki Ninja Village, he was still extremely surprised when he actually saw it.

"Who are you?"

On the other hand, Naoki looked at Akio with some doubts. He had no impression of Akio at all.

Seeing this, Akio explained.

"I am Akio Yamanaka, from the Yamanaka clan. I am now one of the twelve guardian ninjas responsible for protecting the daimyo and the princess. I met you before when I was in Konoha, but you were still young at that time."

"Oh, hello Akio-senpai!"

Since he is an elder, Shengshu is also very polite.

Seeing this, Akio asked even more curiously.

"Are you here to pick us up too?"

"Well, but my main task is to protect you."

"Protect us."

Akio was stunned when he saw Naoki's young appearance.

Seeing this, Hongzhou said with a smile.

"Despite his young age, Naoki is already the most powerful in our village besides Shenyue. Ordinary Jonin are no match for him, so Shenyue asked him to protect us."

"So that's it, is he another genius!?"

When Akio heard this, he also sighed. He could only say that he was worthy of the blood of the First Hokage.

At this time, he also thought of something and hesitated for a while before saying.

"In this case, there is something I think it is necessary to say."

The three of them were stunned.

Akio then explained what he had just seen.

"If I read it correctly, it is not an ordinary tree, it should be the Blood Successor Wood Release of the First Hokage."

The three of them frowned after hearing this. Taiyu and Hongzhou were not good at fighting, so they all looked at Shengshu, waiting for his opinion.

Seeing this, Shengshu thought about it and said.

"Please take me there to take a look. It's just the two of us. We'll be back soon."

"Um."

In this way, Akio brought the rope tree to the unusual place quickly. The rope tree landed on the trunk. He touched the thick trunk and felt the incredible vitality in it. He said with a low expression.

"That's right. This should be Grandpa's technique, the birth of the tree world. And to this extent, even I can't do it now."

Akio was stunned by Naoki's words, but then he thought of something and was extremely shocked.

"It seems that there are more secrets in Uzumaki Ninja Village than imagined."

But he didn't show it, he just said.

"There is a lot of space down here. It seems to be an underground base. However, for safety reasons, we did not go in."

"Um."

Naoshu nodded.

"Let's go back first. This is no longer something I can handle. Let's tell Shenyue when we get back and let him check it out."

As the rope tree spoke, he took out a kunai from his pocket, shot it straight out, and nailed it to the tree trunk.

Akio took a look and saw that these kunai were a bit strange, with strange techniques carved on them. He suddenly thought of something and was even more shocked.

"Could that be!?"
