As the smoke cleared, everyone finally saw Kagura's summons.
However, when the items inside revealed their true appearance, everyone was shocked!
Because...
Because what appeared in front of Kagura at this time was an egg!
That's right, it was an egg.
The egg was as big as a human head, and it was as white as jade, emitting a faint glow in the dim environment.
With the appearance of this egg, everyone at the scene showed different expressions.
⚆_⚆?

"Hahaha..."
In the end, it was Jiraiya's loud voice that broke the silence.
He held his stomach with one hand and pointed at the egg with the other and laughed:
"Hahaha, you... Kagura, you actually summoned an egg!
I am dying of laughter!
Hahahahaha..."
Listening to Jiraiya's unbridled laughter, Kagura slowly narrowed his eyes into a pair of dead fish.
Just when Jiraiya was about to say something, Kagura said:
"If you laugh again, I will beat you up."
A very plain tone, but very effective.
When Jiraiya felt that Kagura was not joking, he immediately stopped laughing.
After all, the battle during the day was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want to be fixed in place by Kagura's illusion and then beaten up.
That weird control method left a deep impression on him.
After spending so much time together, he felt that Kagura could do such a thing.
Looking at the egg in confusion, Sarutobi Hiruzen said hesitantly:
"This...
Although I have never seen this before, maybe there is some kind of summoned beast in the egg?
Maybe it is not weak, after all, it takes energy to summon the spirit.
Kagura, you can try it again later."
Nodding, Kagura gently stroked the egg in front of him.
As its summoner, Kagura did feel that there was a powerful force contained in the egg.
This energy is not inferior to the one-tailed Shukaku in his body.
But no matter how powerful you are, you have to be born first!
Otherwise, what can I do with an egg.
Throw this egg at the enemy as a weapon?
Or put it in a pan and fry it to replenish energy?
Sighing helplessly, he stopped the summoning technique, and the egg disappeared.
At this time, Jiraiya stood up and cleared a few coughs to the crowd.
After everyone's attention was focused on him, he raised his head proudly and said:
"Humph!
You weaklings!
Let me show you my psychic skills!
Let you know what it means to be strong!"
Without giving everyone a chance to speak, he quickly formed a seal and slapped the ground handsomely.
The smoke rose again, but this time when the smoke dissipated, only a toad that was not much bigger than Tsunade's slug appeared.
This toad was green all over, with a set of miniature double swords on its back.
At this time, it was using its little finger... er, it should be said that it was using the end of its webbed palm to pick its nose.
Looking at the little frog in front of him, Jiraiya said in surprise:
"Gamahiro?
Am I not your elder brother who can summon spirits?
Where is Gamabunta?"
Yes, this is the younger brother of the familiar Bunta who holds a short knife in one hand and a pipe in the other, like a gangster boss.
I have to say that you simply cannot understand the growth period of these creatures.
As the elder brother, Gamabunta is now almost 5 meters tall just squatting on the ground, while as the younger brother, Gamahiro is only 30 centimeters...
Hearing Jiraiya's question, Gamahiro answered truthfully:
"Oh, my brother is eating.
He asked me to come here to tell you that if you dare to summon him without prior notice next time, he will come and kick your ass! Well, I have passed the message, and I am going back too.
Bye!"
After saying that, it disappeared in front of everyone without waiting for Jiraiya to respond.
Jiraiya, who was abandoned by his summoned spirit beast, was alone in the wind, and Kagura, who felt the same way, gave him a comforting look.
Tsunade on the side couldn't help it, and rolled back and forth on the ground holding her belly and laughing.
Orochimaru was relatively reserved, but he also covered his mouth and stood aside and laughed secretly.
The nonsense scene ended here. After everyone canceled the summons, everyone had a good rest in the forest at night.
In the following two days of journey, they did not encounter any enemies blocking the road.
Thanks to this, everyone traveled much faster than expected.
At this time, they were sitting on a small boat.
The boatman standing at the bow was paddling the boat hard, preparing to send a few people to the other side.
The country of whirlpools is an island not far from the mainland. There is no other way to get there except by ferry.
This is also the last section of this journey. As long as they reach the shore, they will officially arrive in the country of whirlpools.
Sitting on the boat, looking at the coastline that is getting bigger and bigger in the distance, Kagura can't help but sigh in his heart.
At that time, the country of whirlpools and Konoha had signed a friendly contract long ago. In order to reflect the friendship between the two countries for generations, the Konoha high-level officials even printed the mark of the Uzumaki clan on the uniforms of the senior ninjas.
There is Konoha, a firm ally outside, and the deterrence of the first generation clan leader Uzumaki Ashina inside.
During this period, the Uzumaki clan could still protect the peace of the village.
But in the plot he was familiar with, the country of whirlpools in front of him would be destroyed in the next ten years.
And the Uzumaki clan was forced to flee everywhere.
The reason was that other clans were afraid of the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan.
After all, it was a ninjutsu that could seal even monsters of the level of the tailed beasts.
With treasures in hand but no corresponding power, then only destruction awaited them.
When the first generation clan leader Uzumaki Ashina fell and Konoha was unable to take care of itself.
In just a few years, the country of whirlpools and the Uzumaki clan disappeared into history.
With the collision of the wooden boat when it docked, Kagura's thoughts were pulled back.
When everyone got off the boat and stood on the dock, it also meant that this commission had been completed.
Tomikawa bowed deeply to everyone to express his gratitude, and paid the remaining amount of the task to Sarutobi Hiruzen on the spot.
The fee for this B-level mission is 120,000 taels, and Sarutobi Hiruzen gave up the reward this time.
After deducting the village's share, each of the four Kagura members can get nearly 20,000 taels.
(Generally, the cost of a B-level mission is around 80,000 to 200,000 taels, but this is the cost that the entire team can get, and the village will also deduct a certain amount of "taxes" from it.
By the way, let me explain the currency system in Naruto, where 1 tael ≈ 10 yen ≈ 0.5 Chinese currency.)
After saying goodbye to Tomikawa, Sarutobi Hiruzen also announced to everyone that he would stay in the Land of Whirlpools for two days, and everyone could move freely during this time.
After all, the purpose of his coming here this time was to visit the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan to maintain friendly relations between the two countries.
This itself has a set of diplomatic procedures. Strictly speaking, two days is relatively short.
Before leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly gave them the cost of this mission so that they could have a good time here.
Looking at the mission fee just received, Kagura couldn't help but sigh that being a ninja is indeed a lucrative profession.
Although the mission fee will be divided equally among the team members, it only takes 3 or 4 days to earn 10,000 Chinese yuan in the original world.
Even before the time travel, I didn't have such earning ability.
Sarutobi teacher left, taking Orochimaru with him.
Because Orochimaru wanted to study the sealing technique of the Whirlpool Country, he begged Sarutobi Hiruzen to take him to the clan leader.
See if he can get the permission of the Uzumaki clan leader to have the opportunity to go to their academy or directly find the senior ninja to observe the rumored sealing technique on the spot.
The remaining three people looked at each other and didn't know where to go for a while.
To be honest, as ninjas, they rarely have such free time.
Usually they are either practicing or carrying out missions.
Now that they are really free, they don't know what to do.
Holding his head behind his hands, Jiraiya said he wanted to go to the bookstore here and left alone.
Ever since he heard the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage at Myoboku Mountain, he knew that he would become a writer who traveled around the world in the future, and he began to be interested in books from all over the world.
This time he came to the Land of Whirlpools, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see if there were any books that were not available in Konoha Village.
Kagura and Tsunade were left behind and looked at each other helplessly.
After a while of silence, Kagura finally spoke:
"Well, it's still early.
How about we go to the village to take a look?
It's a rare opportunity for us to go abroad."
Facing Kagura's proposal, Tsunade nodded in agreement.
So a man and a woman began to wander aimlessly in the Hidden Whirlpool Village.
Looking at Kagura's back in front of her, Tsunade realized belatedly that there were only two of them at this time.
Two people... a man and a woman... shopping...
Is this... is this the legendary date?
