Chapter 185 The Land of Ruins

He stood high on the cliff, with a vast expanse of extremely desolate mountain forest in front of him. The trees and vines that blocked the sky could not hide the traces of the ruins of the village.

The sunny slopes are full of exposed rocks, and low shrubs grow unbridled. The dead trees form a strong contrast with the nearby green vegetation, like a Mediterranean Sea.

The sound of waves could be heard in my ears, and there was a pool of stagnant water ahead of me. Naruto nodded and turned his head, seeing white smoke rising from the other side of the island, which was the direction where the three girls were staying.

Averting his gaze, Naruto pulled away. When they met the three girls, Anko had already prepared food. Naruto walked over and sat down, talking while eating.

"There are several ruins here, and they should be uninhabited."

"I really admire you. You didn't have any excitement when you came ashore." Anko glanced at Naruto and sighed, "Sometimes I really wonder if this Jonin of mine has done his job."

"Special jounin." He reiterated in a mean tone.

"What's so strange about getting ashore?" Naruto said indifferently, "We've been floating on the sea for almost a month and it's okay. There's no way we can't touch a piece of land."

"Okay." Anko was convinced. She had been drifting for a month, and she had become unconfident as a Jonin.

None of her ninjutsu had anything to do with water. Facing the endless sea was like looking at an endless huge blue coffin.

This new Sannin team has obtained the inheritance of the Sannin one by one, but it is still not enough to see in front of the sea. There was even a moment when Naruto even regretted not signing a contract with Mt. Myoboku Toad.

At least the toads on Mt. Myoboku can send messages in both directions, but the slugs can't. When the clone returns to the main body, Tsunade still has to channel the slug to get the news.

"This may be the ruins of the Whirlpool Kingdom." Naruto suddenly said.

"The ruins of the Kingdom of Whirlpool?" Anko stared at Naruto for a long time, showing an extremely disgusted look, "Isn't that a country that was destroyed in the war long ago?"

Naruto: "Xiaosuo."

"I heard that it is a country famous for its sealing techniques. When the village of Konoha was founded, the first Hokage had a good personal relationship with the village chief of the Uzumaki Country, and the two villages also established a cooperative relationship."

"But the sealing technique of the Kingdom of Whirlpool was too strong, and the country was destroyed under the siege of several parties." Hongdou said, "I don't know the rest, I just read it in the book."

Naruto shook his head and said: "We are not sure yet whether it is the ruins of the Kingdom of Whirlpool. We will find out if we have a chance to take a look in the next two days."

"Okay, I'll go take a look with you so that I can take care of you." Hongdou agreed.

"Yeah." Naruto suggested, just waiting for her words.

Two days later, there was finally news from Konoha. Tsunade learned of Team Anko's situation and immediately suspended Kakashi's mission and asked him to lead the Anbu team to respond.

In terms of experience in overseas missions, no one can compare with Konoha's socialite Kashige. Tsunade appointed him to lead the team because the rescue location was in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Kakashi often runs around outside. Although he has never been to the Country of Whirlpool, he knows how to deal with incidents between big countries.

The country of whirlpool.

It's sunny.

Naruto and Anko wandered around the hillside several times and found a circular pit at the ruins of the Country of Whirlpool. There were obscure words tattooed around the hole.

"Do you understand?" Hongdou asked.

"I'm not a local, how can I understand?" Naruto said angrily, "You can't expect me to understand just because my last name is Uzumaki. I haven't even left Konoha a few times."

"Besides, as a jounin, shouldn't you be well-informed?"

"You are prejudiced!" Anko said angrily, as if she had been stabbed in a painful spot, her face flushed red, "Who said jounin must be well-informed, you think everyone is Kakashi."

"Kakashi-sensei, do you understand?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Maybe, he has been to many places, and maybe he knows a little more." Anko said, glanced at Naruto again, and muttered.

"I'm going to say something I shouldn't have said. Now that Konoha has sent people to rescue them, they might arrive tomorrow. Why not wait any longer? It's hard to survive. If you take risks now, you might lose something."

"Yeah, I finally survived." Naruto pulled out his knife, glanced at Anko, then jumped into the pit, stuck his knife in the rock wall and slowly slid down.

He raised his head, looked at Anko, whose defense line at the entrance of the cave was gradually getting smaller, and said.

"There is a saying that everything comes when it comes."

Inside the ruins, there are portraits of the God of Death everywhere, and various sacrificial activities are carved on the rock walls. Those thick and colorful paintings almost covered the collapsed wall.

Naruto stayed at the bottom of the pit for a while. There was a scream behind him, and he subconsciously turned around. With a sound from Dong, Hongdou was hit hard by the falling red bean.

"Sorry." Hongdou said a little guiltily, "I didn't catch it halfway up and fell straight down."

"Are you a Jonin?" Naruto's face turned dark.

"Special jounin," Anko reiterated.

"You are quite vindictive." He complained, "Damn it, get up from me first! If you don't get up, my bones will almost break!"

"How can I be so heavy?" Hongdou stood up.

"When you go up, you'd better not ask me!" Naruto sneered, "You're a half-baked Jonin, and you still have to come down when I ask you not to come down."

"If you die, I, the leader of the team, will also be responsible." Hongdou looked indifferent, "If I can't get up, I will seduce you with my beauty."

"Do you think I will pay attention to you? It's not like I haven't seen it before. There is a small mole under your chest." Naruto chuckled.

"What can I do if I've seen you?" Hongdou also sneered, "Anyway, I have to watch you no matter what you say. If you die here, Tsunade-sama can tear me alive."

"Trash Jonin."

"Sentimental genin."

The two of them walked deeper into the ruins while taunting each other. Down there is a building similar to a sacrificial palace, most of which have collapsed and are dilapidated.

"Why is the sacrificial place built underground? Is it to save space?" Hongdou turned around and asked with some confusion, "The land above the Kingdom of Whirlpool is scarce, so we can only move the sacrificial platform underground?"

"The Kingdom of Whirlpool is not big, but most of the land has no trace of cultivation, which proves that there are not many people." Naruto said, "It cannot be to save space."

"These statues here are ferocious and terrifying. They should all be gods enshrined in the Kingdom of Whirlpool. But it's a bit strange. Why are the gods enshrined moved to this dark underground place?"

"Who knows." Hongdou said with his arms crossed, "Maybe the gods like this dungeon-like sacrificial altar. After all, who knows what the gods think."

Naruto stopped, looking at the ferocious-looking statue, Anko's words echoed in his mind.

Dungeon?

This place is indeed more like a dungeon than an altar.

The sealing technique of the Lord of the Whirlpool Kingdom has been suppressing all kinds of tailed beasts and various spiritual beasts with malicious intentions towards humans.

The remaining psychic beasts are basically recruiting teams with signs on the human side. Although there are some wild spiritual beasts, they do not like to come into contact with humans.

Generally speaking, people in the Kingdom of Whirlpool seal whatever they see. The barking wild dogs on the roadside were all sealed up by anyone who didn't like it.

Logically speaking, if he had such incredible sealing skills, how could he possibly worship hundreds of gods? Shouldn’t it be that the sky is big and the earth is big, am I the biggest?

Is there a possibility that this is not the altar of gods, but the prison of gods.

Naruto's mind was in chaos. He glanced at the bottomless crack in front of him and gave up the idea of ​​going down to explore immediately.

"It's better to go out first." He suggested.

It took some effort for the two of them to crawl out of the ruins of the pit. The sunlight hit his body without any warmth. Naruto looked back and saw Anko stretching in the sunlight.

The waist is slender and the dumplings stand tall. She is in her prime, the peak of her body and appearance.

"You should eat less sweets from now on." Naruto said solemnly.

"Why?" Hongdou was a little dissatisfied, "You care about me? If you can't eat sweets, what's the point of living?"

"It's up to you. I'll just say it casually. It's up to you whether you want to or not. Anyway, I won't be the one who becomes a bucket in the future. It's up to you to decide."

"You just turned into a bucket!" Hongdou felt guilty.

In the next few days, Naruto had touched half of the Whirlpool Island. Except for some places that are inaccessible, he has been to all the superficial places and found almost nothing.

About eight days later, Kakashi finally arrived.

When he saw his two disciples standing there with their hands and feet intact, he felt relieved. Then Kakashi asked lazily with one of his exposed dead fish eyes half-raised.

"Young, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Naruto scratched his face and said, "There's nothing wrong with them."

"Kakashi-sensei." Sakura also waved.

"It's fine." Kakashi squinted his eyes and smiled, "But it's not easy for you to float from the route of the Snow Country to the west of the Whirlpool Country."

Anko stood there slightly embarrassed. She was a special jounin who had been unlucky for eight lifetimes when she encountered such an unexpected incident. Although he survived with his goals and his subordinates, his face was still a bit uncertain.

Kakashi did not bring the topic to Anko, but simply explained the matter to Anko and then used his authority to change the nature of the mission.

"After weighing the goals of the fifth generation, the Jonin Hatake Kakashi announced the termination of the Snow Country mission, and the Anko team returned to Konoha with the protection goal."

"At this point, the order takes effect."

Kakashi stamped the Godaime's seal and his personal seal on the new task book. Anko confirmed that the order took effect and signed and fingerprinted it.

At this point, the Snow Country mission is temporarily suspended.

Team Anko and Koyuki Fenghua returned to Konoha safely under the escort of Kakashi and others, and were all admitted to Konoha Hospital for observation.
