The promise of finding Orochimaru and bringing him back to Konoha Village has not yet been fulfilled, and now there are more troublesome things to deal with urgently.

"Go back to the village and discuss it with the old man. There are some things that must be prepared in advance."

------------------

More than a month later, the chill of early winter began to spread across most of the shinobi continent. Yuqi Island on the east coast was still warm and the climate was pleasant.

The only thing is that in the ocean climate in winter, it often rains a little bit at night, which is very annoying.

On an uninhabited island more than 30 kilometers away from the main island, Gu Shanbu Shui, who had been back for a while, was sitting on a cliff overlooking the sea. The raindrops around him were avoiding contact with him at all.

Wet his clothes.

Below the cliff is the residence of a very large mermaid tribe.

Calling it a residence is actually a bit inappropriate. It should be called an undersea fortress or castle.

This is one of the important nodes of the submarine defense line protecting Yuqi Island.

In the drizzle, Yuqi Island, where you could originally see a shadow or a mirage in the lake, was completely invisible.

However, in Gu Shan Bu Shui's eyes, where the sea and the sky meet, there is a looming shadow of a huge tree trunk that towers over the sky.

The tree trunks are thick and the crown is lush, swaying in the strong wind that comes from nowhere.

At the bottom of the tree trunk, strands of roots penetrated into the ground. In the sight of Gusugi Bosui, they penetrated into the body of faith of Umibozu, who symbolizes the god of rivers, and then branched and spread towards the void.

At the end of the roots are individuals who have direct power connections with Gu Shan Bu Shui.

Arashi Fuma, Yuri Ringo, Fengtu, Terumi Mei, Kaguya Kimimaro and others are relatively strong, and there are also relatively weak ones such as Mizuki, Haku, Yuhuo, Ranmaru, and Kurama Yakumo.

After all these years of training and support, today, it’s finally time to give back the benefits.

The power provided by an individual is not much, but when a large group of people are mixed together, it is considerable.

At the same time, the believers of the River God all over the Fire Country, with every devout prayer, will contribute strands of tenacity and become nourishment for the seeds of the sacred tree.

The power network that has been built over so many years will become part of the development and growth of the sacred tree planted in Gushan Bushui.

The vast majority of people who are affected are unaware, because it has no impact on them. Only a few individuals with particularly keen perceptions are even slightly aware of it.

Kurama Yakumo was looking at the huge shadow in the distance somewhere unknown, while Lin Yuri looked to the east, sneered a few times and stopped paying attention. Terumi Mei, who was relatively weak, was also a little irritated, but not

Knowing the reason, I had to give up.

The natural energy of the entire ninja world is gathering nearby as the influence of the sacred tree seed spreads.

It was not a big storm at first, but suddenly it became a real wave.

In a luxurious mansion on Yuqi Island, Xiao Jing and Xiao Si were sleeping, while Hongye was holding Xiao Hiiragi's hand and playing games. Suddenly, both of them involuntarily cast their gazes out the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The rapid raindrops hit the window pane, making both of them startled.

Not only that, the familiar chakra in the distance also exudes strange fluctuations.

"It's dad. Whatever he is doing, he doesn't take me to play."

The little Hiiragi, who was making a milky sound, pointed outside and acted coquettishly towards his mother.

"That's not playing, but practicing hard. When Xiaoqiu grows up, he must work hard like his father and sister..."

"I won't come back even if it rains! My sisters can't wait to fall asleep..."

While the two of them were chattering, in the void beyond their sight, tiny buds sank into Hong Ye and the three children around him, and then disappeared into a place where no one knew.
