Since the Country of Waves is on the other side of the Country of Fire, when they arrived at the coastal port of the Country of Fire, Team 7, which escorted Dazna back to the Country of Waves, hired a ship at the port of the Country of Fire to go to the Country of Waves.

At the port, Kakashi and others saw a huge bridge construction site not far away, and a magnificent bridge was ready to extend to the Country of Waves.

"That is the cross-sea bridge between the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire. However, it has not been completed yet. It will probably take a whole year until the bridge construction is completed."

Before the boat was far from the port, Dazna pointed to the construction site and said.

"It does look spectacular, but the investment alone is an astronomical sum."

Sasuke looked at the construction site from a distance. Judging from the scale of the cross-sea bridge, it was definitely one of the top huge projects in the ninja world.

Sasuke didn't know much about the work of building a bridge, but he also knew that the amount of money invested in a cross-sea bridge of this scale would be a very exaggerated figure.

Even the most powerful ninja in the ninja world would have a hard time earning this level of money after working for dozens of lifetimes.

"There is no way. For the sake of navigation between the two countries and the commercial trade that needs to be carried out in the future, this is a very necessary project to be implemented."

Dazna took a sip of wine and said.

Although the Country of Waves is a small island-shaped country, it is not without its merits in many fields.

For example, in order to invest in the Kingdom of Waves in the early stage, the Kingdom of Ghosts provided a lot of technical support to the Kingdom of Waves. These technologies are exactly what the Kingdom of Fire urgently needs.

In the era when ninjas were dominant, with the rise of the Kingdom of Demons, their influence has been slowly weakened, and science-based industries are gradually becoming more popular in the ninja world.

The accumulation of industrial heritage has also become a necessary area to assess whether a country is strong.

Those big countries also covet the industrial technology of the Kingdom of Ghosts. Thanks to this, the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Fire barely have a common 'topic' in this regard.

Otherwise, if it is just to restrict the activities of the Fire Nation outposts of the Ghost Kingdom, the Fire Nation may not be willing to cooperate with the Wave Nation to build this huge cross-sea bridge.

Amidst such chatting, Kakashi and others took a boat, slowly leaving the port of the Country of Fire and heading towards the Country of Waves.

Although the Kingdom of Waves is located across the sea from the Kingdom of Fire, the distance between the two coasts is not very far.

The ship drifted on the sea for a long time. Kakashi and others sitting on the ship could see the island where the Country of Waves is located from the ship.

Even though it was almost noon, fog still formed in the waters of the Land of Waves, causing the surrounding islands to be shrouded in milk-like fog.

The outline of the island in the mist also looked hazy and hard to see clearly.

But entering the fog, the view was not greatly hindered, and the ship began to move towards the port of the Country of Waves.

"So...so many ships!"

Different from the port of the Kingdom of Fire when we arrived, the port of the Kingdom of Waves is full of ships. Moreover, the area covered by the port is also very large, and huge ships can be seen parked not far away.

Those ships are all made of alloy armor. Just at first glance, you can tell that it is many times harder than ordinary steel.

These ships are equipped with many artillery guns for long-range shooting and air defense.

The dark muzzle is as terrifying and ferocious as an abyss.

Naruto looked at those dark muzzles, as if he felt that they would be pointed at him in the next moment, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Although these ships were anchored in a relatively open sea area and were somewhat far away from these civilian ships, Naruto felt that once those long-range cannons were activated, they would be able to accurately hit his position no matter how far apart they were.

On the deck of the ship, there were still many ninjas wearing ninja forehead protectors, meticulously patrolling the surroundings.

The straight flagpole was erected, and the flag with aster flowers as its pattern fluttered in the wind.

"Who are they?"

Naruto shuddered.

For some reason, those ninjas wearing forehead protectors that were comparable to Konoha ninjas gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Everyone gave him the feeling of being invincible.

"Judging from the mark on the forehead protector and the aster pattern on the flag, these people should be ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts."

The aster flower is the national flower of the Kingdom of Demons, and it is the 'hereditary' mark used by the shrine maidens of the Kingdom of Demons for generations.

After the evolution of the times, it has gradually become a badge for the Kingdom of Ghosts to show its identity to the outside world.

Although the rise of the Demon Kingdom is not very long compared to the traditional five major nations, as a rising star among the major nations, Sakura still has some understanding of this country.

"Ghost country? It sounds a bit spooky."

Naruto held his chest with his hands. He had been afraid of unknown things since he was a child, such as 'ghosts', 'monsters' and the like.

The word ghost always reminds him of these existences that scare him very much.

"I remember Sakura, you said that the Kingdom of Demons is the sixth largest country, right?"

Naruto remembered that when he came here, Sakura taught him some things on the way.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I was just thinking that our Konoha belongs to the Land of Fire, so the leader of the village is called Hokage. The leaders of ninjas in other countries are also named after their own countries. So, the boss of the ninja of the Ghost Country is the so-called

'Ghosted'?"

Naruto's whimsical thoughts made everyone look at him speechlessly.

"What's wrong? Am I right?"

Naruto looked at everyone in confusion.

Kakashi sighed. It seemed that he still needed to educate Naruto on not only basic physical skills, but also some common sense issues.

He touched Naruto's head and said: "Naruto, although the Kingdom of Demons is the sixth largest country, it is different from the traditional five major countries. This country does not have a ninja village organization, but is replaced by the military. The military's recruitment standards are not only

Ninjas, trained samurai and ordinary people can also join. The leader of the military holds the position of Minister of Military Affairs in the Kingdom of Demons and is in charge of a country's military affairs. And because the military system is different from that of Ninja Village,

Therefore, the ninjas in this country do not need to rely on task commissions to earn money."

"I see."

Although he still didn't understand, Naruto still nodded pretending to understand.

If you don’t rely on completing tasks to make money, how do you support yourself? Do you work like ordinary people?

Naruto's heart was filled with questions.

"Having said that, why do ninjas from the Kingdom of Oni appear in the Kingdom of Waves? Moreover, are they directly stationed in the Kingdom of Waves?"

Sasuke looked at Tazuna.

Could it be that what Kakashi concealed was related to the Kingdom of Demons?

Sasuke frowned slightly.

Although he doesn't know how to deal with national affairs, the army of the Kingdom of Ghosts is stationed in the waters of the Kingdom of Waves. As a neighboring country, the Kingdom of Fire, doesn't have any idea?

The army of the Kingdom of Demons is so close to the Kingdom of Fire, Konoha should arrange measures in advance.

Dazna said: "Because we had some cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Ghosts in the past, but after the collapse, it became like this."

"The situation in this country is complex enough."

Sasuke's eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Okay, the military discipline of the Kingdom of Ghosts is famously strict. As long as you don't provoke them for no reason, you will be fine. Now I will take you to my house to rest for a while. Starting tomorrow, the bridge construction work will be thorough.

Getting busy."

Dazna said.

"Then let's take a short break in the afternoon and evening as Mr. Dazna said."

Kakashi nodded in agreement with Tatsuna's idea.

"What? It's a rare trip, so of course I want to appreciate the exotic scenery."

Naruto said carelessly.

Sasuke and Sakura also had quite emotional expressions on their faces, agreeing with Naruto's idea.

Kakashi looked at the three of them helplessly and scratched his head.

"Okay, it's a day off anyway, you three can do whatever you want. But you have to pay for the shopping expenses out of your own pockets, and I won't reimburse you for it."

He had a big meal on the road before, but he hasn't recovered his health yet.

When they return to Konoha, they must continue to let the three of them work hard to complete more D-level tasks.

Otherwise, he might have to spend a lot of money on it.

Newcomers should train themselves more.

"Tsk, Kakashi-sensei is a stingy person!"

Naruto curled his lips in displeasure, causing Kakashi's idea of ​​reimbursing the bill to disappear immediately.

Upon reaching the shore, Naruto left the team and walked towards a nearby town. Sasuke and Sakura followed behind, separated from Kakashi and Tatsuna.

"Is it really okay to let these three brats leave like this?"

Dazna asked.

"It doesn't matter. I've told them the location. It's really boring to travel these days. It's good for them to relax. I still want to take a nap here."

Kakashi replied.
