Chapter 10 The Smell of Blood Can No Longer Be Suppressed (Help! Please Read On!!!)

Dark clouds coiled over the lake of the Rain Country like snakes.

The falling rain splashed on the river surface, making it look like it was raining everywhere.

The strong wind brought heavy rain, and the black flags at the port were stretched straight, and the moored ships were creaking.

Bang!

In the rusty port duty room.

The skinny old man locked the window, put on a pair of cotton wool earmuffs, huddled in a chair with soju, and finished his "work" early.

"Anyway, no idiots will come in this damn weather."

The old man looked tiredly at the capital of the Rain Country in the distance, and the tall steel buildings were looming in the heavy rain.

What's more, with the current situation of the Rain Country, even countries with established trade relations dare not come here to do business.

He, the old man in charge of managing the berthing of ships, is now just a "formality", and naturally he doesn't have to stay awake all night.

Coincidentally, someone thought of the same thing.

Woo!!

A flute sound as melodious as the voice of a blue whale gradually cut through the dark stormy night.

"Oh, it's so big!"

In the rain, Yahiko's voice was heard shouting.

The huge black shadow was clearly reflected in the raised orange pupils.

Accompanied by the sound of the waves bursting, the black shadow rolled over from the river.

It was a huge ship painted the same color as the stormy night!

Soon, it cut through the oncoming waves and stopped steadily in front of the port, not far from the shore.

Woo!!

Yunchuan put his fingers to his mouth and blew a loud whistle, as if responding to the huge ship.

"Get on board."

Seeing that the ladder was lowered on the boat, he glanced at the little ones beside him and said, "The people who pick us up are here."

Without saying anything nonsense, Yunchuan took Yahiko and others to the ladder leisurely.

Five figures wearing black raincoats stood side by side on the boat, looking at the many ships moored at the port.

"Wow!"

Yahiko put his palm on his forehead, jumping like a monkey, looking around and looking down at the port, and sighed, "There are so many ships here..."

He had never seen the spectacular sight of nearly a thousand ships docked at the port at the same time.

"Live by the mountain and eat by the mountain, live by the sea and eat by the sea, adapt to local conditions."

Yunchuan slowly stretched out his hand, and the rain splashed on his hand, making him squint and smile: "The environment of the Rain Country is harsh, but there are also good points."

The Rain Country is located in the central area of ​​the largest continent in the entire Ninja World, adjacent to the three major countries of Fire, Wind, and Earth and the three small countries of Grass, Bird, and River.

The border between the Earth, Wind and Rain Country is a towering mountain range, which means that there are high mountain barriers in the southwest, northwest, and west of the Rain Country.

The two just formed a mountain in the shape of a leaky valley, and the only opening is facing the east of the Fire Country.

Compared to the cold ocean in the north of the Frost Country, the ocean in the southeast of the Fire Country is very mild and is one of the areas in the Ninja World with many ocean currents and humid air.

From the rich granary area of ​​the Fire Country, we can see the impact of the ocean on the climate.

Therefore, the northwest monsoon above the ocean always brings a large amount of humid and hot air when it blows towards the inland areas.

But the mountains of the Earth and Wind Countries are too high, blocking the humid and hot air from the ocean, forcing the air full of water vapor to rise, and then condensing into a large amount of orographic rain, falling to the Rain Country to cause concentrated precipitation.

Therefore, most of the land of the Earth Country and the Wind Country is covered by desolate rocky land and deserts, and the annual rainfall is less than one-tenth of that of the Rain Country.

It is this extreme landform that has created this "crying country".

The abundant rainfall converges into several rushing rivers, flowing like an aorta to several surrounding countries.

"So, the development of river transportation in the Rain Country is a natural advantage."

After a brief explanation, Yunchuan seemed a little helpless and couldn't help but sighed: "But, after all, it is still not as good as the Fire Country..."

It seems that even Hashirama Senju, who was so naive as to give the tailed beasts to other big countries, was not a fool without a brain.

Of course, it could also be the idea of ​​Tobirama Senju. Yunchuan really didn't have high expectations for the intelligence of the big pillar.

"..."

"..."

"...Ah." Yahiko nodded thoughtfully, "So that's the case?"

Konan turned to look at him and said in a surprised tone: "Yahiko, do you understand?"

"Of course I understand." Yahiko raised his head and said as a matter of course, "If we flatten the mountain between our Wind Country and the Earth Country, it will stop raining!"

You don't understand at all!

Whose grave do you think you are flattening?

"Ahahahaha!"

Just then, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the cabin.

Before Yahiko could turn his head, he felt someone patting his shoulder.

"Don't worry, kid."

The man behind him smiled like an old fox, and said with a gloating tone: "You will learn these basic geographical knowledge in the future, ahahaha."

"Ah? I, I still have time to get off the boat now... um!"

Yahiko couldn't hold it anymore, and was about to let out a naughty howl, but Jiyun, who had an expressionless face, covered his mouth from the side.

Xiaonan turned around, bowed slightly to the man behind Yahiko, and said awkwardly but apologetically: "Sorry, Yahiko has caused you trouble."

He was an old man with white hair but a stooped figure, and a hearty smile on his face.

"Hahaha, don't be so polite, you are all children brought back by Lord Yunchuan, and we will be a family from now on."

The old man waved his hand casually, looked at Yunchuan who was smiling and silent, and his attitude became unusually respectful: "Sorry, Lord Yunchuan, I am late today."

He did not make excuses for his lateness, but was truly sorry for it.

Even if he was only a few minutes later than expected.

"Uncle Meiyu." Yunchuan smiled helplessly, "Aren't you going to the Land of Water to transport goods today? You don't need to come to pick me up."

"How can it be considered a trouble? I can have what I have today, thanks to you."

The old man called Meiyu shook his head, his expression a little ugly, "What's more, the Land of Water has also encountered some troubles..."

Jiyun on the side suddenly asked: "Can you make a lot of money this way?"

Uncle Meiyu came back to his senses, looked at Jiyun's little face, seemed to remember something, and smiled kindly on his face, and said modestly: "It should be more than the bounty earned by ordinary ninjas."

Immediately, he shook his head again, and said bitterly: "However, old guys like us are like duckweed. As long as the wind blows, we will disappear in the water. If it weren't for Lord Yunchuan..."

On land, there are countless bandits who make a living by robbing caravans.

On rivers, there are naturally pirates who make a living by robbing merchant ships.

Da Da Da!

"Brother Yunchuan!"

A girl who had just learned to walk, wearing a loose cloth, stumbled over and handed a bowl to Yunchuan, saying in a baby voice: "Drink water."

"Thank you, Xiaoshiyu."

Yunchuan smiled and touched the girl's head, then took the water and drank it all.

However, after putting down the bowl, his eyes slowly turned to the distance.

"Really, that smell of blood can't be suppressed."

In the deep blue pupils, a ship of similar size was anchored on the river. The hull seemed to be lingering with light red mist, looking like a ghost ship.
