Another Legendary Item
"Next, it's time to return to the Wind Capital."
Uzumaki Naruto naturally remembered the direction he came from. He put away the Dark Dusk Court, manipulated shadows, condensed a pair of wide Dragon Wings behind him, and then, with a powerful flap, soared into the sky.
Flying with "Shadow Wings" and aided by Wind Release Chakra, his speed was extremely fast.
Uzumaki Naruto looked down at the Wind Capital Ship and loudly said, "You all be careful, I'll be back soon."
"Don't worry."
"Go ahead."
"Thank you, Sir Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Have a good trip~"
The people on the Wind Capital Ship waved goodbye to Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki Naruto nodded, then spread his immense, pitch-black wings, and with a "whoosh," flew towards the Wind Capital.
Because the sea was boundless, bathed in sunlight, without any obstructions or shadows, it was impossible to cast the Shadow Instant Kill Array.
Although flying was not as fast as "teleportation," it was actually faster than the expansion speed of the Dark Dusk Court, and consumed less energy.
If he were to use the Dark Dusk Court to cast the Shadow Instant Kill Array, it would be a bit redundant.
As for the speed of the Wind Capital Ship, it couldn't even be compared.
"Whoosh"
A pitch-black afterimage rapidly streaked across the sky above the sea.
Going all out, Uzumaki Naruto actually took less than half a day to return to the Wind Capital.
"Let's stop here."
Gazing at the spectacular city walls along the coastline, Uzumaki Naruto, who had abruptly stopped, folded his shadow wings and descended from the sky, easily standing upon the turbulent sea.
Immediately after.
His shadow, like ink dropped into a vast ocean, rapidly spread out, covering an area of several tens of miles.
From the circular, pitch-black shadow, one Ghost Ship after another surfaced.
"We're back?"
"Ahead seems to be the Wind Capital!"
"Unbelievable, we really left the damned Ghost Sea and returned to the Wind Capital."
"Don't be ridiculous, we are ghosts now, it's good enough that we could come back."
"Hahahahaha, this is great, this is great, we're home."
"A glass of rum, I want to go to the Clover Tavern and drink rum!"
"Sigh, I wonder if the Clover Tavern is still there after hundreds of years."
Deafening cheers erupted from the Ghost Ships.
A group of neither-human-nor-ghost sailors were as happy as children, singing and dancing joyfully.
Uzumaki Naruto stood on a flat shadow, achieving a floating effect, slowly rising up, and said to the sailors of the Ghost Ships, "The Wind Capital is ahead, what are you waiting for?"
"Gentlemen, hoist the sails, let's go home!"
The sailors, who had been singing and dancing, quieted down.
They all looked at Uzumaki Naruto in unison, bowed deeply, performing a grand Wind Capital salute from hundreds of years ago.
Immediately after.
The sailors hoisted sails, steered the rudders, and blew their horns.
"I will lend you the east wind."
Uzumaki Naruto formed hand seals and summoned several Shadow Clones.
The Shadow Clones flew to the back of each Ghost Ship, formed hand seals, used Wind Release, and exhaled a strong gust of wind, which instantly filled the sails.
These ships, which had been rotting for hundreds of years, left the Ghost Sea and actually set sail again, heading towards the distant Wind Capital.
Upon seeing this, the Wind Capital city wall guards were terrified and immediately rang the alarm bell.
"Dong~ Dong~~ Dong"
"Wait, no!"
The guard captain saw the grey-black "fleet" approaching from the distant sea, his heart jumped, and he quickly pulled out a monocular telescope to look. When he saw that each ship was flying a canvas with the Wind Capital emblem, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "It's not an enemy attack, it's not an enemy attack!"
"It's— it's—" The guard captain didn't know how to describe it and finally murmured, using "them" as a substitute.
"They're back."
"Wind Capital, home! We're back!" One Ghost Ship after another sailed into the harbor.
Under the astonished and bewildered gaze of the Wind Capital residents, these Ghost Ships, and the ghost sailors on board, all turned into tiny specks of light and quickly dissipated.
[Hidden Quest "Lost Ghost Ship" completed!]

Uzumaki Naruto watched the many Ghost Ships depart, and finally, a pop-up window appeared before him.
[Level Up!]
[Obtained 5 free attribute points]
With the completion of the hidden quest, Uzumaki Naruto's level finally reached 35.
"It's time to 'add points'."
A smile played on Uzumaki Naruto's lips as he interlocked his fingers, stretched them a few times, then brought up his attribute panel and began to furiously add points.

Uzumaki Naruto's current attribute panel was incomparably stronger than before.
Especially his [Constitution attribute], which, due to the baptism of a large amount of Dragon Blood from Dragon-rank creatures, had forcefully reached 100 points.
The average attribute value for ordinary people in the Goblin Slayer World was only 5 points.
Uzumaki Naruto's Constitution alone was already 20 times that of an ordinary person in the Goblin Slayer World!
With such stamina and defense, even without equipment effects, if Uzumaki Naruto stood still and let a Silver-rank Adventurer attack him, they might not even be able to break his defense.
"Let's see what's extraordinary about the Legendary quality Ghost Ship rewarded by the hidden quest."
Uzumaki Naruto took out the Ghost Ship from his [item bar].
It turned out to be just a drifting bottle slightly larger than a palm. Inside the drifting bottle were beautiful silver quicksand, and floating on the quicksand was a completely pitch-black, three-masted sailboat emitting a strange aura.
[Ghost Ship: This is a magical ship capable of sailing in any environment. Whether it's a desert, sky, sea, or land, nothing can stop its voyage.
As long as the sails are full, it will surely set sail for distant lands!
Equipment Effects: Ethereal (can become ethereal like a ghost, immune to any physical attacks. It's worth noting that during etherealization, everyone on board will turn into a ghost, but if the duration is too long, there's a risk of not being able to turn back into a living being), Route Map (can automatically navigate to the marked destination)]
