Great Voyage: After decades of seclusion, the system is here?

At this moment, Kearns' shadow appeared at the cabin door again, smiling slightly, as if silently observing all this.

"Mr. Kearns, do you have any suggestions?" Konohamaru asked curiously.

Kearns smiled and looked at Konohamaru, "Young man, fighting spirit is good, but remember, true courage is not just about rushing to the front line, but about persisting in the face of difficulties."

Konohamaru nodded seriously, as if he had captured the deeper meaning of "Nine Three Zero".

"Okay, everyone, get ready, we are about to arrive at our destination." Kearns' shadow slowly disappeared, as if blending into the air in the cabin.

And soon.

The ship docked at an inconspicuous port. The wooden pier looked a little dilapidated, and various fishing nets and marine tools were scattered around. The sea breeze blew by, bringing with it the salty smell of sea water. Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru and others stepped off the boat. Behind them was the seemingly peaceful but turbulent sea not far away.

Kearns' shadow flickered for a moment, as if confirming the surrounding situation, and then slowly disappeared, as if he was always an observer rather than a participant.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked over. Wearing a purple ninja outfit and a mysterious and elegant veil, she is a female ninja from Nadeshiko Village, named Shion.

Shion stopped in front of Naruto, glanced at him, then turned to Sakura and Shikamaru. "I'm here to see Mr. Jiraiya's apprentice, where is he?"

Naruto's eyes widened, a little surprised. "I am Jiraiya's apprentice, what do you want from me?"

Shion smiled slightly and looked at Naruto through the veil. "Okay, Mr. Jiraiya has an agreement with our village chief. Since you are his apprentice, you will fulfill this agreement.

Shikamaru and Sakura exchanged glances, both feeling something was wrong.

"What agreement?" Naruto asked curiously.

Ziyuan reached out and gently lifted the veil, revealing a beautiful but cold face. "Years ago, Mr. Jiraiya had a battle with our village chief, and the bet was marriage. But the battle did not result in a winner, so they agreed that their respective apprentices would continue the battle."

Naruto's eyes widened, obviously unable to accept this method of choosing a mate that ignored the wishes of both parties. "What kind of messy agreement is this? Why do you have to fight to decide your marriage?"

Shion sighed, "This is the tradition of our village, and Mr. Jiraiya also accepted this challenge."

Sakura frowned, "But that's unfair, isn't it? People should decide whether to get married based on their feelings...

"Emotions?" Ziyuan smiled, but her smile was a little cold. "In times of war, what kind of pressure is emotion?"

Kearns' shadow suddenly appeared again, this time without a smile and with a serious expression on his face. "Ziyuan, have you misunderstood something? War and marriage are two different things. It is inappropriate to use the logic of war to view marriage."

Shion glanced at Kearns, then turned to Naruto, "So do you have any suggestions?"

Naruto took a deep breath, looked at Shion and said, "I think everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, including marriage. Even tradition cannot force people to do things they don't want to do.

Ziyuan was silent for a moment and finally nodded. "Maybe you are right 2.1. I will go back and talk to the village chief to see if this rule can be changed."

Kearns' shadow smiled slightly, and then slowly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

Sakura walked over and patted Naruto on the shoulder. "Well done, Naruto.

Naruto smiled, but knew in his heart that changing a tradition requires time and effort, and all he could do was just a small push. .
