Killer B's Plan! The Festival Begins!
The Land of Tea.
Degarashi Port.
In a teahouse, three oddly dressed people were sitting.
The three men wore Forehead Protector from Kumogakure), and the leader wore Sunglasses and carried seven swords on his back. After taking a sip of tea, Killer B said, "According to reports from our Kumogakure spy Ninja in Konoha, the mission that the kid Shinki is carrying out in the Land of Tea is to protect the participants in the Gōdaisha Festival."
Across from Killer B, his disciple, Omoi, white-haired man with wheat-colored skin, had a lollipop in his mouth and spoke with a very pessimistic tone.
"If you ask me, Killer B, you shouldn't have taken this mission."
"Legend has it that the Red-haired Brat, Shinki, not only used Wood Release but also Sage Art, summoning Great Buddha hundreds of meters tall, which crippled Orochimaru with a single slap..."
"That monstrous power is beyond our capabilities."
"While Killer B, you're very powerful, that was, after all, the Wood Release once used by the God of Shinobi..."
However, before Omoi could finish speaking, Killer B's female disciple Karui, punched him on the head.
"You haven't even met that brat yet, why are you saying such discouraging things?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"
Omoi winced in pain, clutching his head with a look of displeasure, but did not retaliate.
Clearly, he's gotten used to being beaten up by Karui.
Karui, with dark skin and red hair, crossed his arms and analyzed, "If you ask me, they're just a bunch of kids after all. How strong can they be, no matter how strong they are?"
"Killer B's master was the Perfect Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, possessing inexhaustible Tailed Beast Chakra and the ability to transform into Tailed Beast forms."
"And the two of us are both elites of Kumogakure; capturing the three of them should be a piece of cake. ┐(´-`)┌"
"Rumor has it that Shinki Boy is quite handsome. Maybe he fell in love with me at first sight and then surrendered himself to me! (ꈍᴗꈍ)"
"Besides..."
Karui's ramblings became increasingly outrageous until he was interrupted by Killer B.
"In short, don't underestimate that kid. He's the most brilliant genius in the entire Shinobi World in recent decades. We must be careful when dealing with him."
After discussing for a while longer, the three paid the bill and left.
They were going to set a trap.
Rumor has it that Shinki possesses an extraordinary ability to learn Ninjutsu, and unexpected events could occur at any time during a battle with him, so the safest method is to trap him!
Omoi said, "I say, last time our village sent out several Formation experts and they still couldn't catch him. Is this trap we set really going to work?"
Upon hearing this, Killer B probably thought Omoi's words made sense, and stopped what he was doing.
"That's true..."
Degarashi Port.
Keshi Family.
The head of the Keshi Family Amegakure Ninja he had hired.
"I heard that the opposing Wasabi Family also hired Ninjas for protection this year, and they're from Konoha. Are you up to the task?"
"The Keshi Family Head asked."
Although he wasn't Ninja, he was still familiar with some of the major Ninja Villages.
Konoha's strength is several times that of Amegakure.
Opposite the Keshi Family Head, a green-haired Ninja wearing an Amegakure Forehead Protector and holding a ninja umbrella, smirked contemptuously. "I've already seen the Ninjas you mentioned. They're just three brats, at most Chunin level."
"But I'm Jonin from Amegakure, and I also have the power of Divine Weapon. Defeating them will be a piece of cake."
Upon hearing this, the Karashi Seed Clan Chief finally smiled with relief and patted the green-haired Ninja on the shoulder, "Alright, with your assurance, I'm at ease."
Before we knew it, the day of the Gōdaisha Festival arrived.
Almost everyone in Degarashi Port gathered at the starting line of the Sacrifice, a grand event that only Degarashi Port once every four years.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
"I hope Wasabi Family can win this time."
"The Karashi Family should disappear from Degarashi Port forever."
I think you have a point.
"You two watch your words. If the Keshi Family hears you, you're in for a beating."
"What's there to be afraid of? Even the Daimyo is here for today's match. I don't believe the Keshi Family would dare to make a move in front of the Daimyo."
"Once the Daimyo leaves, you'll be the one suffering."
"Stop chatting, look, the players are coming onto the field."
"Wait a minute, why did the Wasabi Family send out a child today? He looks like he's still a minor."
"You don't know this, do you? The Wasabi Family's original representative for this year's competition was injured by Ninja sent by the Keshi Family, leaving only Morino Idaten... Hopefully, this kid can do something for everyone!"
"It's said that the Wasabi Family also hired Ninjas this year, but according to insiders, they're three children from Konoha... I wonder if they'll be able to handle it..."
"Why would Konoha send three children on such an important mission? Do they look down on our Land of Tea?"
At the starting line, the two competitors, Wasabi Family and Keshi Family, squatted down, preparing for a sprint.
The next moment, at the referee's whistle, the two men shot off like arrows!
In the first stage of the competition, participants traveled by water to the Motsuchiro Shrine on the island.
Therefore, the participants from the Keshi Family went straight to the port to board a ship.
Meanwhile, Idaten, like a deserter, ran in the opposite direction along the beach...
Everyone was stunned.
"What's that kid trying to do? Even if he doesn't want to participate, he shouldn't be running now!"
"Yes, desertion in the face of battle will be severely punished!"
Seeing this, the head of the Karashi Family almost burst out with a smile, "Haha, are your men scared, Jirocho?"
Wasabi Jirocho looked somewhat embarrassed. Although he didn't understand why Idaten would do this, he still chose to believe his younger brother.
"Idaten must have his own reasons for doing this, and I believe he won't run away."
The Daimyo also looked somewhat displeased, glancing sideways at Jirocho.
"If that kid doesn't reach the finish line later, I'll severely punish your Wasabi Family. You're so unreliable, causing such a mess during such an important Sacrifice..."
The three people from Shinki nearby also looked surprised.
Idaten has now fled, Wasabi Family will face severe punishment.
It's possible that we will permanently lose control of Degarashi Port.
Although Idaten harbors hostility towards Ninjas, he greatly respects Jirocho and is unlikely to do anything that would put Jirocho in such a difficult position...
Immediately, Shinki looked up at the clouds drifting in the sky and instantly understood the significance of Idaten's actions.
"I understand! There will be sea breezes at the port later, which will slow down the ship!"
"It seems that Idaten wants to change the starting point and take a longer route from somewhere else. Although the journey will be longer, it will be faster than departing from the port."
"So, that kid's actually pretty smart."
Naruto's Idaten has changed somewhat.
Sasuke, however, said with a serious expression, "Our mission is to protect Idaten. Stop chatting and hurry up and follow them."
Shinki quickly followed up, "Don't rush, I've already placed the Flying Thunder God Mark on that guy's clothes. Hold me back, I'll take you there now."
