Please watch Naruto Shippuden 224 before you read this synopsis.
You bunch of wimps! Dealing with sea sickness can be tough. Yamato suggests getting off at nearest island to wait out the whether. Once on this Nanakusa Island they meet up with Sakura, who's been sent there by Hokage Lady Tsunade to gather medicinal herbs to use to make food pills. Nanakusa Island is a treasure trove for herbs, but they are not easy to be found. Naruto bored out of his wits decides to help out. When Sakura discovers Ginseng she is met with other ninjas. Ninjas from Benisu. Bando, a jonin, Sada a genin and Kiji. Soon all is well when Bando the leader of these ninja presents a barrel full of herbs. Well, they are not free though? Bando drives a tough bargain. Naruto decides it is better to look for these herbs elsewhere.
Huge Mato plant is found on a clearing, but when Naruto dives for them Sakura stops him. Few sparse Mato plants were left there so they can reseed.
They come to a bridge that says "Do not cross. Exclusively for Benisu". Naruto being himself didn't listen. Half way through the bridge he stopped cold. His entire body was paralyzed. Sakura noticed bridge robes laced with paralyzing herbs. Naruto stumbled and fell down to the river. One Red Newt was found there but it was too small so they had to release it. Next stop is Hell Valley. It is called Hell Valley because bruise curing Elixir Mud gushes out from underground. Toxic gas gets released with the mud as well and this presents some danger.
Naruto hurries to get some of this Elixir Mud using his clone jutsu, but soon discovers that it is simply too hot to stand. Bando however isn't about to give up. Desperate situation requires desperate measure. Skateboarding through the valley avoiding the gas and using Wind Style: Great Breach, Benisu ninjas are gathering the special mud. A huge Lizzard comes out of nowhere and attacks them. When there was nowhere to escape, Naruto came to rescue and saved the day with huge Rasengan. Later Benisu ninjas were so grateful, they gave Naruto and the group all herbs and mud they needed to accomplish their mission.
Guy feels better and S-mission must continue. Yamato describes a rumour of an old ship with large devil fire lighting on the top of its mast. Led by crows this ship cruises through foggy nights guiding the souls of the dead. If you come across it you're doomed to a journey by sea to the land of the dead. "The Cursed Ghost Ship" is the title of the next episode of Naruto Shippuden 225. Watch it with us right here at TailedFox.
