Chapter 376 Fishing Lights

A land by the sea, a fishing island.

"I didn't expect to get here in less than half a day. Aoba, you're really fast."

Standing on the coastline, Hongdou faces the sea breeze and looks at the distant islands.

Hearing the other person's teasing, Bai Yunqingye knew that she meant something. "You didn't say that this morning."

Hongdou rolled her eyes, showing no sign of blushing. Instead, she poked his chest, squinted, and said, "The environment here is so nice, why don't you try it out?"

Bai Yunqingye was dumbfounded. Where did this Slaanesh believer come from?

Aren't you afraid of being discovered?

"It's even more exciting now, isn't it?"

-

"Let me rest for a bit, I'll come back later."

Red Bean lay on the back of White Cloud and Green Leaf.

"Sister Red Bean, you're really bad at games but love to play!"

Baiyun Qingye jokingly retorted, carrying red beans along the coast.

"You're a monster."

Hongdou lay there limply, her arms hanging limply across his chest.

"I just wanted to have some fun, but you want my life."

"Isn't your stamina very strong?"

Baiyun Qingye said with a smile, teasingly.

Red Bean rolled her eyes and complained while resting, "My stamina is indeed good, but you can't just stand up and push off, can you?"

"That's because I saw that you were always so enthusiastic, Sister Hongdou, so I thought I'd test your physical limits."

"You're not testing the limits of my body, you're testing the limits of my lifespan."

Hongdou pinched her, "From now on, you can just lie down. I'll do it myself. Three against one, I don't believe we can't win!"

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, Sister Red Bean."

There was no point in continuing to argue about this, so Shirokumo Aoba changed the subject.

"Where should we look for that girl named Yu Huo? Or should we go to Ghost Island first?"

Hongdou finally remembered the main purpose of their trip. "I'm not quite sure either. Don't you have the Vortex bloodline? Can't you sense it?"

Shirokumo Aoba slowly explained, "Kagura's Mind Eye can sense chakra, but it can't recognize chakra it hasn't seen before."

"Then let's take our time looking. I only remember what the other person looked like when they were a child."

Hongdou couldn't help but sigh, "But this island is only so big, it's not difficult to find."

Even after regaining her memories, she only remembered what the other person looked like in the nutrient solution.

After Orochimaru left, the girl and some researchers were abandoned in the country.

Although she may have grown up quite a bit now, the traces of the experiments are still visible on her, and she can be recognized at a glance.

"That's all we can do."

Bai Yunqingye nodded. He wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time. "What are the distinctive features of that fishing light?"

"Well..."

Red Bean thought for a moment, "I remember that she had purple hair, just like me."

"That makes things much easier..."

goo~

At that moment, Hongdou's stomach suddenly rumbled.

Bai Yunqingye suppressed a laugh, "It seems we should find a restaurant first, since we've used up a lot of energy just now."

Red Bean didn't feel anything was wrong at all; instead, she regained her energy, patted White Cloud Green Leaf on the shoulder, and shouted loudly.

"You know now, so hurry up and go! I want to eat meatballs!"

"Didn't I tell you to control your diet?"

"Didn't you also say that consumption and intake should be balanced? You just exercised a lot, so you can eat more."

-

Dumplings are a common and popular food in the ninja world.

It's even sold on this remote island.

Inside a simply decorated restaurant, Shirokumo Aoba was eating ramen, while Aoko was eating meatballs.

Two bites per skewer, and the table was almost covered with skewers.

"You've eaten way too much!"

Baiyun Qingye reminded him.

Hongdou shook the meatballs in her hand. "It's okay. We'll still need to use up a lot of water and energy tonight. I've calculated it carefully. It's fine to eat a little more."

As she spoke, she stuffed the dumpling she had just taken a bite of into Baiyun Qingye's mouth.

"Eat more too, and work hard tonight."

Looking at Hongdou's smirking expression, she really is both bad at the game and loves to play.

Baiyun Qingye swallowed the dumpling and asked the chef who was busy on the other side of the counter, "Uncle, do you have a girl with purple hair here?"

"A little girl with purple hair?"

The chef was visibly taken aback. "You're not looking for that reclusive person, are you?"

The island wasn't big, and everyone in the neighborhood knew each other, especially someone with such a distinctive feature as purple hair.

He immediately realized who Bai Yunqingye was looking for.

"Does 'divine disappearance' refer to someone who vanishes without a trace?"

Hongdou used to live here, so she knows this saying.

The chef nodded and explained, "Many islanders have disappeared without a trace. Among them, only one little girl with purple hair suddenly returned on her own."

"This is a village with little culture, and everyone thinks she's unlucky. If you're looking for her, she lives at the edge of the village."

Baiyun Qingye and Hongdou exchanged a glance upon hearing this, surprised that they found it so easily.

"Thank you, sir."

Baiyun, Qingye, and Hongdou thanked them.

When the two of them walked to the edge of the village, they did see a small, solitary wooden house by the sea.

However, the wooden house was somewhat dilapidated, with broken windows and various curses and filthy words written on the walls.

"That's really going too far."

Hongdou muttered something to herself.

Silent white clouds and green leaves—has this become a common phenomenon in the ninja world?

He turned around and looked at a huge reef.

"Stop hiding, I've already seen you."

"Ok?"

Red Bean paused slightly, then subconsciously drew her kunai. "Aoba, is she an enemy?"

Bai Yunqingye shook her head. "It shouldn't be."

Behind the reef, a girl with purple hair and bandages wrapped around her body emerged.

His expression was somewhat indifferent, and his pure black eyes seemed devoid of any life, just like a doll.

渔火

渔火

However, at this moment, there was a clear hint of tension in his eyes.

"Who...who are you people?"

She clearly didn't see the boy turn around, so how could she have seen him?

However, after she saw what the two people looked like, she became even more terrified.

They're Konoha ninjas!

Both Shirokumo Aoba and Aoko wore Konoha headbands.

She instinctively tried to run, but Bai Yun Qingye was faster than her.

A figure appeared beside her, a hand already on her shoulder, stopping her from running away. "You must be Yu Huo? We've come to find you."

"me……"

When Yu Huo realized that the other party knew his identity, he became even more panicked.

"Don't be afraid, we are good people, not bad people."

Hongdou also came over, revealing what she thought was a kind smile.

Yu Huo was almost scared to tears by her smile.
