The Strongest Mercenary of Naruto

Chapter 4
In the early morning, the warm sun rose from the horizon, shining on the Bloody Mary floating in the middle of the river.

"It seems that today is a good weather."

The sunny weather made Kazuhiko Uchiha, who was sitting on the top of the boat, in a much better mood. He took out the practice scroll of the C-level fire ninjutsu-Impatiens flower jutsu that was in his parents' relics, and started to learn.

The members of the expedition team who had rested all night woke up one after another, washed, ate, and then did their own things.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Now? Can you hear me?"

Gail is in charge of monitoring the work of the expedition team, so he has to report the latest progress to the senior management every day, but in such a remote tropical rainforest, it is very difficult to receive the signal, so he can only walk around, looking for a better signal place, trying to communicate with the staff on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, the goddamn rainforest!"

In the end, Gail, who still failed to complete the contact, cursed angrily, pressed the phone's hang up button forcefully, and leaned against the side of the boat quite depressed.

It can be considered that Gail was too unlucky. The place she was leaning on happened to be the bowside door at the junction of the springboard and the pier. I don’t know whether it was because it was not locked or the Bloody Mary was in disrepair. The bowside door suddenly opened under Gail’s support. The unsuspecting Gail lost his center of gravity and fell into the muddy river with a bang.

"Help, help me!"

Gail, who fell into the river, struggled and shouted for help, causing everyone in the expedition team to panic, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Uchiha Kazuhiko immediately finished learning ninjutsu, took the scroll back to the system space, and came to Dr. Jack's side to guard his safety.

The strong man Jordan also reacted at this time, and shouted to the sailor A Chuan who was driving the Bloody Mary: "Hey, buddy, stop the boat."

Achuan's driving skills are very superb. Hearing this, he immediately controlled the boat to stop, and everyone walked quickly to the stern, ready to rescue Gail who fell into the water.

Gail herself can swim, and the exclamation just now was just a subconscious reaction. After she came back to her senses, she had already swam towards the stern of the ship autonomously.Seeing that her body was fine, everyone felt at ease.

"Hey, Gail, is the underwater signal better than the one on the boat?"

"Bastard Jordan, I'll kick you down and try it for myself when I go up."

Jordan, who has always been at odds with Gail, saw her in a mess, and laughed and joked, which aroused Gail's dissatisfaction and anger, and planned to teach Jordan a lesson after boarding the boat.

Just when several other people were about to joke with Gail, Kazuhiko Uchiha, who was guarding Dr. Jack, suddenly jumped up, took out a kunai from the ninja bag tied to his thigh, and pointed at Gail. location jump.

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, the kunai in Uchiha Kazuhiko's right hand came first, and precisely pierced into the head of a large crocodile that jumped out of the water, and with a vigorous stir, the crocodile's vitality was instantly wiped out.

After killing the crocodile, Uchiha Kazuhiko held Gale's arm with his left hand, and with his feet on the crocodile's body, he jumped back to the stern deck with his feet.

Only then did everyone realize that there was a crocodile preparing to attack Gale from underwater, and Uchiha Kazuhiko became the hero who saved Gale.

The skinny Uchiha Kazuhiko formed a sharp contrast with the huge crocodile corpse. If everyone hadn't witnessed all this happening with their own eyes, they would not have believed that this was what Uchiha Kazuhiko could do.

"Oh, God, look what I found? Dude, are you Superman?" Kerr, the chatterbox, looked at Kazuhiko Uchiha who looked calm with his eyes shining, and shouted excitedly.

"I'm not a superman, you can think of it as Chinese Kung Fu."

Uchiha Kazuhiko didn't intend to explain too much to them, he made a fool of himself in a way that foreigners can easily understand, and then jumped back to the top of the boat again, leaving everyone with different expressions behind.

After the ship continued to drive away, Uchiha Kazuhiko looked back at the crocodile corpse swallowed by the giant python, shook his head, and continued to learn ninjutsu.

Although Gail, who was rescued on board, was a strong woman, it was the first time she had experienced such danger. Thinking of the crocodile's bloody mouth so close at hand still made her shiver.

Under Sam's comfort, Gail gradually calmed down, looked gratefully at the position on the top of the boat, and felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

From the very beginning, she looked down on Uchiha Kazuhiko who looked like a student, and even regarded him as an existence in the team. Now it seems that everything is just her self-righteousness.

The daytime ended soon, and the night fell again with the downpour. If there was any difference from last night, it would probably be that the eyes of everyone looking at Kazuhiko Uchiha became completely different from before.

With his outstanding strength, Uchiha Kazuhiko won the awe of everyone on board. The only troublesome person is Kerr, the talkative ghost, who has been pestering Uchiha Kazuhiko to learn Chinese Kung Fu from him. ?
After finally finding a few excuses to dismiss Kerr, Uchiha Kazuhiko's ears were cleared, and after eating something, he returned to the cabin to rest.

In the middle of the night, Uchiha Kazuhiko heard the movement of Dr. Jack walking, and immediately woke up from light sleep, and saw Dr. Jack leave the cabin and walk to the deck.

For the sake of his safety, Uchiha Kazuhiko got up and followed him, and found that he was talking with Captain Bill while walking towards the direction of the cab.

Captain Bill turned around and found that it was Kazuhiko Uchiha, so he invited him to the cab. After glancing at Dr. Jack, Kazuhiko Uchiha accepted his invitation.

In the bridge, Captain Bill pointed to the turbulent Man River outside the Bloody Mary and said: "We are in trouble. The water level is rising much faster than expected. The Man River is very dangerous now. I think we need to turn around and go to the bridge." Find another route, but it will probably take a few more days."

"Do you know what those blood orchids represent? That is the greatest discovery in the history of medicine. We don't have so much time to waste now."

Dr. Jack, who was almost desperate for the blood orchid, rejected Captain Bill's proposal and insisted on following the original route.

"It sounds very powerful, but what does it have to do with me?" Major medical discoveries are of no value to Captain Bill, at least not as colorful as dollars, "If I have to take the risk of crossing the Man River If not, then you have to pay more."

"Okay, I'll give you fifty thousand dollars out of my own pocket."

For this small condition proposed by Captain Bill, Dr. Jack agreed without thinking about it.

"Deal, but in case of trouble, you all have to listen to me." Captain Bill looked at Kazuhiko Uchiha, who seemed unfathomable to him, and waited for his answer.

"I'm only responsible for protecting Dr. Jack's safety, everything else has nothing to do with me."

Uchiha Kazuhiko has no objection, as long as he can complete the task, if he knows the specific location of the blood orchid, he will not even let Dr. Jack board the ship, and go to pick the blood orchid by himself.

"OK, then it's settled."

After the discussion, Captain Bill, who had made an extra fortune, was in a good mood, and celebrated with a flagon.

Uchiha Kazuhiko accompanied Dr. Jack back to the cabin to rest, refresh himself and prepare for the next trip.
