Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 436: 401. Island of Redaku Part-4

Under the directions of the guards, the rest of the group finally return to the resort.

"This place is so fun! I saw several new things and bought a lot of things. Perhaps we should bring Ayaka with us tomorrow." Hanabi, Yakumo, Sakura, and Izumi have lots of shopping bags in their hands. Even Mei is carrying quite a few shopping bags.

The girls infuse some chakra on the bracelet in their hand and store all bags in it.

"WOAH!"

The guards are surprised at the magical sight. They enviously stare at the escort group.

"Shinobis are amazing. Not only do they have an amazing method to carry their luggage, but they can also even stuff their stomach with a large amount of food and still won't feel full." The guard gossips among themselves.

"Even those little girls can eat food comparable to five people." The guards point toward Hanabi and Yakumo.

Hanabi's and Yakumo's face turn red from embarrassment.

Haha...

The rest of the group chuckles.

"Hanabi, Yakumo, Izumi Nee-san, Mei Nee-san!" Ayaka waves toward them while riding her pet dinosaur.

"Ayaka! WOAH!"

The group is surprised at the appearance of the giant creature. Ryu lowers its neck. Ayaka slides down its neck and smoothly lands on the ground.

"Wow! Is that a summon?" Sakura inquires in amazement.

"Yes, it's nii-san's summon."

"So cool!" Naruto's eyes shine in excitement.

"Can I touch it?" Yakumo asks with slight hesitation.

"Of course!" Ayaka nods at her.

Ryu turns towards Hanabi and Yakumo. Both girls gently stroke Ryu's head and flippers.

"What kind of creature is this?" Ao and Chojuro curiously enquires.

"We have never seen such a creature in the shinobi world?" Ao mutters.

"It's a dinosaur. Nii-san told me about them. Ryu is a plesiosaur or a sea dinosaur."

Ryu pulls Hanabi, Yakumo, and Ayaka on its back.

"Naruto nii-san, Sasuke nii-san, Sakura nee-san! Want to join us? Ryu will take us for a ride underwater." Ayaka gestures to them.

"That sound fun!"

Naruto nods and jumps on Ryu's back. Sasuke and Sakura also join them.

"Can I also join you?" Chojuro requests in a feeble voice.

"Why not?"

"Thank you!" Chojuro also leaps on Ryu's back.

EEEPPP... EEEPPP...

Ryu cries in joy and rushes towards the large water reservoir. It forms a gigantic air bubble around them and dives into the water.

"Is this sturdy enough?" Naruto slightly knocks on the air bubbles. Slight ripples spread across the bubble.

Soon, the group enters deeper into the water. They marvel at the sight of the various species of fish, octopuses, dolphins, and jellyfish.

"So amazing!"

The world hidden underneath the sea fascinates them to the end. Hanabi and Yakumo take out their camera and snap a picture of every sight.

"I feel sorry for Hinata Nee-san. If only she was here to view this incredible sight. I will take lots of pictures and show them to her."

Click... click...

Both girls snap a picture with enthusiasm. Ryu's sea tour continues as various glowing plankton, seaweeds, algae, and other smaller creatures fascinate them to no end. Multiple oysters and sea shells as tall as a human are also settled at the base of the seabed.

"These sea shells are so big. I wonder if their pearl is also as huge as their body. How much money will I get if I sell them?" Sakura wonders.

While the youngsters tour in ocean depths, the adults are gathered in a meeting in the Uzu clan compounds.

Yuri sighs in defeat as she stares at the beauty and majestic aura of Mei. She learns about Mei's identity.

"I don't stand a chance. Not only is she so beautiful, but she is also powerful with a prominent position."

It's common knowledge that in a world ruled by strong, only the people with exceptional abilities and skills can take on a leading position. Strong subordinates won't respect and submit to a weak leader.

"I admit defeat!" She shakes her head.

"It's alright! You will also eventually find a suitable partner." Akari consoles her.

The escort group members consult with Hoshi, Kei, and Viktor about the specifics of the Redaku and a method of traveling to the Land of Iron.

"Hokage-sama, Mizukage-sama, our ships regularly dock at the ports of various countries like the Land of the waterfall, the Land of medicine, the Land of Iron, and the Land of hot water. We sell the specialty product of our town and trade them with the products of the shinobi world, gold, and even the currency of the shinobi world.

Shirodo town accepts both the local currency of Redaku and the Ryu, the currency of the shinobi world. There is a rule that the products of the shinobi world can only be bought using Ryu and both currencies are interchangeable at an equal rate."

Hoshi explains the specifics of trade to them.

"Aren't you guys attacked by some greedy people from the shinobi world or perhaps suffer from the treacherous schemes of people?" Minato asks in surprise.

"Initially, we did suffer some loss and even lost a few people. But gradually, we learned various methods to counter them. Also, Izuna-san's summon will guard us from time to time. Not only that, most of his subordinates will help us at the docks. Also, the symbol of Kaminomegumi is enough to instill fear in the hearts of any rogue shinobi." Hoshi replies with a smile.

"That's true!" the group completely agrees with him.

When Izuna initially started his enterprise, lots of greedy people and merchants attempted to sabotage or even subdue his business in an attempt to gobble up his money. The result was as expected.

Izuna was very ruthless to these people. He viciously culled these people. Rivers of blood flowed across the shinobi world as Izuna once again proved his moniker of the 'Shinigami'.

This incident even became famous in the shinobi world as the 'Kin no Chi' or ' the blood of gold'. This incident got such a name because of a rumor about Izuna. Many people said that the 'Shinigami' only liked two things: blood and gold.

While the escort was happily chatting with the people of Redaku. A few guards rush inside the meeting room with gloomy faces.

Hmm...

The shinobi notice them and eventually, Kei also notices them.

"Excuse me!"

He excuses himself and walks towards the two guards.

"What's the matter?"

The guard reports to him. Kei's expression turns ugly.

"I will be in there in a few minutes." He orders the guards.

"What's the matter, Kei-san?" Though with their exceptional hearing, the shinobi group has heard everything. Still, they want to hear it from Kei's mouth. If the situation is beyond their control, then might even provide some aid.

Sigh...

Kei helplessly shakes his head and explains.

"It's the remnants of the Umibozu. Though Izuna-sama obliterated Umibozu's body with his powerful attack. The remnant will and the sinister energy of Umibozu seeped deeper into the sea. To this day, it is affecting the sea monsters. Those affected enter into a frenzy and attack Shirodo town from time to time. Thanks to the Uzu clan's and Sea Lords' help, we are able to defeat them, but recently, the intensity of attacks has increased by a lot.

None of us are capable of performing an underwater reconnaissance, but we suspect that the Umibozu's will has affected an entire colony of those sea monsters and now this entire colony is attacking us in frenzy. This time, a giant sea serpent is attacking the town. I will return to the port to command my subordinates. So, please excuse me for my rudeness."

"Not at all!" Minato and the rest shake their head.

Instead, they turn to Izumi.

"Izumi, why don't you assist Captain Kei in dealing with that sea serpent?" Tsunade asks Izumi.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Izumi slightly bows her head and follows Kei.

"Umm... will she be alright?" Akari and Yuri ask with slight worry as they stare at the petite figure of Izumi.

These past few years, after interacting with the shinobi world, they have come to know various things.

"First, the identity of their savior from fifty years ago. Their savior was Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, the clan head of the Senju clan and the most powerful shinobi of his time also hailed as 'the God of Shinobi'.

Not only that, but they also learned about Izuna's identity. 'The Death God of Shinobi World', the most powerful prodigy of the entire shinobi world, the fearsome handsome devil, the merciless executioner, the slaughter demon, and various other monikers.

If Izuna was here, then he would chuckle at the thoughts of these people.

'I can agree with the first three names, but what's the deal with the merciless executioner and the slaughter demon? Did I kill your entire clan or something? Hmm... well, I did in a few cases. But still, don't slander people like that.'

"There is no need to worry about Izumi's safety. Though she may look like that, she is one of Izuna's students. Izuna has mentored her for almost ten years. She is in no way inferior to us." Mei and Tsunade chuckle.

"That's reassuring!" Akari, Yuri, and Viktor heave a sigh of relief.
