Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: The Meaning of Choice

No extra introduction is needed.

The first moment he held the "white flour," the disgust that surged in his heart silently told Shien what the hell this thing was.

the product.

The Wave Country officials are secretly trading in drugs.

Shien hates two things the most: one is gambling, and the other is drugs.

Sasuke stretched out his little hand and grabbed Shien's sleeve.

It was rare for him to see Shien's eyes so cold.

"I'm fine."

Shien said softly, "But…"

He looked up at the dozens of boxes of "white flour" on the ship and then looked forward.

An old, rusty fishing boat approached them, with black gun muzzles sticking out from both sides of the boat.

Forty shirtless, dark-skinned sailors with swords and axes hanging from their waists were standing on the boat. They saw the warrior lying on the ground, and with fierce looks on their faces, they drew their weapons from their waists and walked towards Shien.

"…Something must be happening to them."

"Platinum Star"

This is a battle without suspense.

No one could take a punch from Star Platinum. All those who rushed over vomited blood, flew backwards at an even faster speed, and fell into the sea.

"Ghost!"

Finally, the crew members collapsed and fled back to the fishing boat without caring about their companions.

"Go away!"

Little Sasuke shouted at their backs, a carefree smile spreading across his face.

He loved the journey with Shien so much, where they could settle scores and express their true feelings.

Ninja?

What ninja?

He won't endure it.

But Sasuke's smile quickly froze on his face.

There were loud shouts from the fishing boat opposite, and the guns turned and aimed at them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shells came in a row, forming an arc.

"Star Platinum!"

Shien raised his hand and pointed.

Star Platinum roared, spun in the air, and kicked the first shell away.

Then he opened his hands, grabbed one shell in each hand, and used his iron-like arms to exert force and threw all the shells back.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three shells made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, as if they had broken the sound barrier, and their speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left on the retina.

There were continuous rumbling and wailing sounds.

The fishing boat was pierced and torn into pieces, and the crew members fell into the sea screaming.

The battle started suddenly and ended abruptly.

The passengers then came to their senses and realized that they had saved their lives.

They are not fools.

The trade of D-products is absolutely prohibited even in this terrible ninja world.

There is only one cargo hold on the ship, and the D products that are afraid of moisture must be placed in the cargo hold. So... after seeing the D products, can they still get off the ship alive?

The answer is obviously no.

The passengers fell to the ground, their hearts in their throats finally at ease.

"I'm saved."

The sea breeze blew on their faces, and the sense of relief after surviving the disaster made the passengers a little dazed. They looked at Shien's back—he was not very tall and strong, but at this moment, he brought them an incomparable sense of security.

Shien manipulated the Star Platinum and threw all the white flour on the ship into the sea, and also threw the bald warrior into the sea. He slapped the unconscious crew members twice to wake them up and gave them two choices:

Sail or sail.

Life was of the essence, so the remaining crew members hurriedly nodded and bowed, showing the spirit of craftsmanship, started the boat, and continued to move forward.

After Shien and his group left.

The bald warrior poked his head out of the sea and spat in the direction of the cargo ship.

"Idiot! I have been traveling by water for half my life. Am I really going to drown in the sea?!"

There is a lifeboat on the fishing boat, and the crew member who fell into the water has gone down to look for him. It won't be long before they find him and they can row back to the Land of Waves.

"You're dead if you dare to touch Lord Cardo's goods, boy! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, someone will cut off your head and bring it back!"

The bald warrior cursed.

The sea surface broke open, and a crewman with blood on his head gasped for breath, his face full of fear: "Sir! Fish, fish..."

"Fish?"

The bald warrior didn't understand why fish were so scary.

Encountered a shark?

No, he is very familiar with this route.

This isn't an area where sharks roam.

"The fish is crazy!"

The crew yelled.

As if to verify his words, a small fish the size of a palm jumped out of the water, dived into the crewman's mouth, and bit his tongue tightly.

"Ah—"

The crewman screamed and reached out to pull the crazy fish out of his mouth, but the second fish bit his hand, and the third gouged out his eyes.

The bald warrior looked at the scene in shock.

He knew that the fish jumping out of the water were not aggressive at all. What shocked him even more was the eyes of the fish—

Ruby scarlet.

This is the reaction after taking drugs!

The drug that Shien threw into the sea was eaten by the fish as bait, causing them to go crazy under the stimulation of the drug!

The bald warrior then noticed that the sea was eerily calm and there was no crew member on board.

He looked down and saw a sea of ​​scarlet.

"Don't come over here!"

The bald warrior's desperate cry resounded through the sky.

...

Shien retracted his gaze.

Sasuke seemed to be hesitant to speak, so Shien flicked his head and said with a smile:

"If you have to fart, do it now."

Sasuke scratched his head and looked down and said, "I just wonder if we are being too high-profile?"

He was talking about beating the fishing boat.

It feels great when playing.

Thinking about it afterwards, I feel that there are loopholes everywhere.

Once the ship docked, Konoha only needed to ask around to find out that they had arrived in the Land of Water.

"It's high-profile, but that's the choice in life."

Shien said, "When you threw the kunai, didn't you already make your choice?"

"That's the emotion..."

Shien shook his head and said, "The so-called "emotion" is the fruit of the tree called "value system" that you have grown up with.

A cold-blooded ninja cannot have this kind of "emotion." Can you imagine Danzo attacking in anger to save Momo?"

"But is this...right?" Sasuke asked.

Shien rubbed his little head.

"There is no right or wrong in this matter. If I must say, it is right as long as two conditions are met—"

He held up two fingers.

"First, this decision was made after careful consideration and is in line with my heart."

"Second, you are willing to pay the price and bear it."

Sasuke recalled again.

Is he willing to risk being tracked down by Danzo to save Momo?

The answer is yes.

Having just experienced the tragedy of genocide, Sasuke doesn't want to see anyone familiar get hurt again.

He gradually understood what Shien meant.

"Brother Qing, you are really amazing, not only your external strength, but also..."

Sasuke placed his right hand over his heart.

"The power here."

Shien smiled, accepting his compliment.

Is it awesome?

In the real world, he is an absolute loser.

It was fine during school, but after he started working, he was out of place in the workplace.

There are too many things that Shien cannot stand.

Until one time, he stopped his boss from sexually harassing a female colleague, and the matter caused a lot of uproar. However, in the end, the harassed female colleague said it was a misunderstanding.

Shien became the person who couldn't "read the air."

Afterwards, his leader made things difficult for him and had his colleagues isolate him, thinking that this would make Shien regret it.

But Shien has no regrets.

The reason he stopped the sexual harassment was not to target his boss, nor to save the female colleague who turned the tables.

Shien just felt that this shouldn't be the case.

Just like today.

Of course, doing the right thing requires capital.

In his previous life, Shien's capital was the core technical capabilities of the team.

This life is the JOJO system.

As for the meaning of choosing the "right"...

Shien leaned on the railing, feeling the gentle sea breeze. He squinted his eyes and heard Xiao Tao's laughter and Sasuke's arrogant snort.

Momo walked up and gave Sasuke a big hug.

Sasuke stood there in shock.

Shien's lips curled up into a smile.

Maybe this is the meaning.

"Woo—woo—"

The ship blew its whistle.

At dusk, we arrived at the Water Kingdom.
