RNP Chapter 254 Giant Squid
Chapter 254 Giant Squid
Granny Cat couldn't help but sigh, her voice filled with deep regret as she said, "So, we still have to go to Itachi's place."
“I’ve known you two quite well since you were little.”
Her voice was filled with nostalgia, "I never imagined it would turn out like this."
Granny Cat's gaze fell on Sasuke: "Now, only you two brothers are left in the Uchiha clan. I really don't want to see you brothers fighting each other."
......
Meanwhile, in Konoha Village on the other side, Boruto and Naruto had already bid farewell to everyone and embarked on their journey.
The two of them set off from Konoha, traversed the vast lands of the Land of Fire, and finally arrived at the boundless sea bordering the Land of Lightning.
In this turbulent sea, Boruto and his group encountered the Kumogakure ninja who came to meet them. They joined Boruto and the others and prepared to head to their target island together.
Naruto stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes fixed intently on the boundless sea.
With barely suppressed excitement, he said, "The mission we're going to the isolated island is exactly the same as the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, so we're sure to encounter the Guiding Octopus next."
Naruto's voice echoed in the sea breeze: "Octopus, octopus, octopus, guiding octopus..."
Boruto, standing nearby, laughed and said, "The guiding octopus that the Great Toad Sage prophesied must be referring to Gyuki, right?"
Naruto turned around with a blank look and asked Boruto, "Gyuki? What's that? I've never heard of it before."
Naruto was clearly unfamiliar with the name Boruto mentioned.
Seeing Naruto's confusion, Boruto patiently explained, "Gyuki is our destination, the name of the Eight-Tails."
"At that time, Uncle Bee will guide you on how to become a perfect Jinchūriki and teach you how to live peacefully with Kurama inside you."
Boruto continued, "Only when you truly master the method of living in harmony with Kurama can you unleash your potential."
When it comes to peaceful coexistence with tailed beasts, Boruto can't help but think of Momoshiki, with whom he has become one. He and Momoshiki can now be considered to be living in another form of peaceful coexistence.
From an initial parasitic relationship to a gradual transformation into a symbiotic relationship?
His coexistence with Momoshiki not only changed his body, but also his trajectory.
"Can we live in harmony with Kurama?" Naruto frowned upon hearing Boruto's description.
He reached out and touched the seal on his abdomen, feeling a little unreal that the word applied to him.
Whenever the Nine-Tails' chakra overflows from his body, it always brings trouble and danger.
They either affected his emotions, making him irritable and easily angered, or they manipulated his body, causing him to attack his comrades. Naruto recalled those experiences with a sense of helplessness in his heart.
After hearing their conversation, Yurui drew back the curtain of the ship and came over.
His gaze fell on Boruto, and he said with admiration, "As expected of the disciple of the Sannin, not only is his strength extraordinary, but it seems that he also has a deep understanding of the Eight-Tails."
Then, Yurui continued, "We're almost there, everyone get ready."
Before long, the ship gradually approached its destination.
A ninja from Kumogakure pointed into the distance and said excitedly, "Look, we can already see the islands."
His voice was exceptionally clear in the sea breeze, and Boruto looked in the direction he was pointing.
Sure enough, on the distant horizon, the outline of a blurry island gradually came into view.
The island was shrouded in thick fog, but as the ship drew closer, the island's outline and details gradually became clearer.
Through the fog that filled the sea, the group saw a uniquely shaped island.
The entire island's surface was covered with enormous spikes, which, like the fangs of a demon, pointed straight to the sky.
Among the sharp rocks, many rotting animal carcasses hung, emitting a nauseating stench, and the entire island was shrouded in a deathly silence.
Apart from poisonous insects and scavengers, there was no sign of life; it was like a cursed island of death.
Naruto was completely bewildered by what he saw, his mind filled with confusion.
Didn't the Great Toad Sage say this place was a paradise for animals?
The vibrant and joyful scene described by the Great Toad Sage flashed through his mind, completely contradicting the desolate and terrifying sight before him.
Naruto couldn't help but think to himself, "What a delightful vacation spot in my eyes? It's totally not!"
He felt he had been misled, and his expectations for the mission were instantly extinguished.
Seeing Naruto's bewildered expression, Yurui couldn't help but laugh, "This place is just like your Konoha's Forest of Death, only it's a bit more exciting, hahaha."
His laughter sounded particularly jarring on the silent sea. Yurui continued, "The danger here is no less than that of the Forest of Death, but for us ninjas, this is a good opportunity for challenge and growth."
Then, Yurui reassured them, "It's alright, as long as we don't do anything reckless, those creatures will behave themselves. However, there's only one..."
As Yurui was speaking, the ship suddenly began to shake violently, interrupting him.
Before anyone could react, a giant squid burst out of the seabed, its enormous body blotting out the sky.
One of its tentacles, resembling a thick, giant python, swiftly attacked the ship where Boruto was.
The tentacles splashed water everywhere, and a strong fishy smell filled the air.
If this blow lands squarely on the ship, the immense force will be enough to break the ship in two on the spot.
