Capítulo 440: 405. Niji Jellyfish
Later at night.
Hmm…
Minato, Kushina, Tsunade, and Mei stare at the clock with worry.
"It's already 11 p.m. Why are those kids not back yet?" Kushina walks back and forth at the entrance with worry.
"My subordinates couldn't track any trace of them in the town." Viktor shakes his head.
"Will they be alright?" Kushina bites her lips.
Hmm…
"They are back!" Tsunade, Minato, and Kushina turn towards the entrance.
"Your worry was unfounded." Tsunade chuckles.
"That was very intense."
"Yeah! I thought I was about to die there."
"I ran out of chakra and was about to get eaten. It was thanks to Naruto-kun, I survived."
"I didn't even break a sweat."
"Ugh… I won't eat any seafood for the next few weeks. I don't even want any seaweed in my ramen. I had enough of it."
The kids ramble amongst each other.
EEEPPP…
"Ryu was a good boy. He did well!" Ayaka pats Ryu's head.
EEEPPP…
"Yup! Yup! Ryu is the best." Ayaka nods.
"Hey, Ayaka! You can understand what he is saying?" Hanabi asks him.
"Of course, Ryu uses telepathy to talk with me." Ayaka strokes Ryu's head.
"Hnnn… I also want to talk to him." Hanabi rigorously stares into Ryu's eyes.
EEEPPP…
Ryu hides behind Ayaka.
"He is saying, he can only talk with me. He can't talk with you all."
"That's a bummer. I also want to talk with him." Naruto clicks his tongue.
"You guys, why are you so late?" Kushina feigns anger and glares at the group.
"And also… what's with this appearance of yours? Why do all of your looks so tatter? Did you pick a fight with someone?" Kushina questions them.
"Mom, we fought some weird sea monsters while exploring the sea with Ryu." Naruto simplifies his tale.
"Naruto… I don't think fighting hundred of monsters is the same as fighting only some monsters." Sakura and the rest of the group sigh.
"It was a tough battle!" Sasuke remarks.
"So, will any of you properly explain the situation?"
"Yes, I will do!" Ayaka takes the lead.
"We went on a quick trip to stare at the fascinating sight of the reservoir's bottom with Ryu. While sightseeing, we came across a flock of jellyfish with rainbow lights. So, we thought of bringing a few as a souvenir to the village. However, those jellyfish were swimming way too fast, and before we knew, we were in the depths of the ocean."
"Did you catch those jellyfish?" Tsunade curiously asks her.
"We did!" Ayaka nods.
"So, where are they? I want to see them." Tsunade adds.
"I am also curious about their appearance. Perhaps we can add them to our aquarium." Mei also expresses her interest.
"Alright, I will show them to you!"
Ayaka stretches her hand and summons a small jellyfish with glowing RGB lights from the sin seal's space.
Normal storage can't store any living object since the pocket space inside them isn't stable to sustain life. However, sin has an entire dimension within it. This space is similar to Kamui and thus is capable of storing living objects.
PYUU… PYUU…
The jellyfish stare around in confusion and flap its tentacles to search for water.
"Oops… I almost forgot about it!"
Ayaka waves her hand and creates a small floating water bubble to cover the jellyfish. The jellyfish circles around in the small globule of water.
"So pretty!"
Kushina, Tsunade, and Mei are star-struck by the jellyfish's appearance. They tickle and poke the head of the jellyfish. The jellyfish waves its tentacles in annoyance.
Even Akari and Yuri are attracted by the sight of the jellyfish.
"Oh my! This is a Niji jellyfish. It's a very rare species of jellyfish and is hardly spotted in the entirety of the Redaku Ocean. These jellyfishes have a very high demand and are quite popular, especially among the nobles and royals. Since these jellyfishes swim at an incredibly high speed while underwater and are only found at the depths of the ocean. Due to this reason, these jellyfishes are very hard to catch.
Not many people risk their lives to catch them since the Redaku ocean is filled with dangerous sea monsters. You kids were very lucky to catch one, since the value of this jellyfish can't be judged with money. But if I have to put a price on its head, then it costs somewhere around two to three billion Ryu." Akari explains to them.
"What? So costly!" Sakura, Hanabi, and Yakumo gasps.
"Mm… how many ramen bowls can I buy with that money?" Naruto counts on his finger.
"…"
The group speechlessly stares at him for his ridiculous thought.
"You can eat a bowl of ramen each hour, every day for the rest of your life, and still have enough money to take a round trip across the shinobi world," Sasuke explains to Naruto.
"Woah! That's a lot of money."
The small jellyfish turn into a mountain of ramen in Naruto's eyes.
"I don't think as Izuna-sama's sister you lack money. Still, this is quite a sight of an ornamental fish. It's pretty good to even catch one." Akari nods at Ayaka.
The rest of the kids stare at Ayaka in surprise.
"Umm… actually, this isn't the only Niji jellyfish I caught."
Swoosh…
Ayaka waves her hand and a giant water bubble with around twenty-thirty Niji jellyfish floats in front of them.
"Oh, my Sea Lord!" Akari's and Yuri's eyes widen to the core.
"With these many fish, you can buy the entire Shirodo town," Akari exclaims.
"I don't need money, since I earn a lot of money even without doing anything." Ayaka shakes her head.
She separates five jellyfish from the giant globe of water and sends them toward Yuri.
"I will give them to you people as a present since you help Nii-sama with troublesome things."
Viktor hurriedly rushes towards the corner. He quickly empties a giant water tank. Ayaka transfers the jellyfish inside the water tank. Viktor makes some hand seals to erect a barrier around the tank. Not only that, he pastes a few talismans on the barrier to fortify it.
"…"
The shinobi group silently stares at his action of preserving a treasure.
"Later, I will transfer them to the main tank of the resort and will fortify it with five… no… ten barriers. Only that way would it remain safe from thieving hands." Viktor gently places the water tank on the nearby table.
The shinobi group could only silently acknowledge his words.
"That's lots of ramen floating in there!" Naruto drools at the sight of those jellyfish.
"Pfft… Haha… at least someone here isn't swayed by the appeal of money." The group burst out in laughter.
"Hey, ramen takes priority over ramen!" Naruto remarks.
"But Naruto, you can't buy ramen without money. So shouldn't money be greater?" Sakura remarks.
"Hmm… now that I think about it. That does make sense." Naruto enters in deep thought.
Ayaka stores the Niji jellyfish in her pocket space.
"Alright, enough of that! Let's hear the rest of the story." Minato silences everyone.
"Ahem… so where was I? Ah yes… after we saw a vast flock of Niji jellyfish, we chased them to the bottom of the ocean. These jellyfishes were very fast but Ryu was faster. So, we were easily able to catch up with them.
I had a fishing net in my storage. So, I took it out and caught all of them in one fell swoop. These jellyfishes are immune to genjutsu, so it's very hard to tame them. But once they are inside my pocket dimension, they turned very docile.
After capturing them, we realized we were very far from the town. But Ryu remembered the way, so it wasn't a big deal to return to the town." Ayaka pats Ryu's head in praise.
EEEPP…
Ryu rubs its face against Ayaka.
"However, before we could return, we saw a gigantic shadow quickly swimming in the direction of the town. Sasuke Nii-san and I noticed its appearance. It was a giant blue sea serpent with a bony frill around its neck. It had a creepy bony protrusion on its back." Ayaka explains the appearance of the sea monster.
"Isn't that the sea serpent I fought with earlier?" Izumi walks towards the group.
"Oh… hi Izumi sensei! Where were you? We didn't see you earlier." Yakumo asks her.
"I was slightly exhausted after my battle with the giant sea serpent you mentioned now," Izumi replies.
"Was it powerful?" Hanabi asks in curiosity.
"Hmm… it isn't as powerful as a tailed-beast. But it had the ability to transform. I beat it in its second transformation. Also, before it could enter into its third transformation, I chopped its head." Izumi makes a cutthroat gesture.
"Wow, Sensei is amazing!" Hanabi and Yakumo praise her.
"Of course!" Izumi smugly puffs out her chest.
"Oh, what's that shiny thing floating in front of you?" Izumi notices the lone floating Niji jellyfish around Ayaka.
PYUUNN…
The jellyfish turn towards Izumi in confusion. It lifts one of its tentacles and rubs its head in confusion.
"KAWAII!!" Stars appear in Izumi's eyes. She quickly dashes towards the jellyfish and tickles it with her fingers.
"What's its name?" She asks.
"Umm…" Ayaka thinks for a while.
PYYUUNN…
The jellyfish also turn towards Ayaka.
"It's Pyunmaru!" Ayaka replies with a smile.
"…"
The rest of the people almost fall to the ground while the jellyfish drops its head in disappointment.
"It's a good name!" Only Izumi nods her head and tickles the jellyfish.
"…"
