"Let's go, we still have this area of sea to patrol."
Without wasting words, Doichi led the four of them toward the northern sea area to inspect its safety.
Although the main force of the Land of Night successfully invaded the western part of the Land of Lightning, it does not mean that they can rest easy.
On the main battlefield, the Hidden Cloud Village Village's main force from the Land of Lightning dares not engage in direct combat, so they are currently using small elite units to harass and raid in various ways.
Many squads even bypassed the areas occupied by the main forces of the Land of Night in the Land of Lightning, and attacked cargo ships transporting supplies for the Land of Night in the vast sea.
Two weeks ago, several cargo ships were attacked by the Hidden Cloud Village Elite Squad. Thanks to timely rescue, the Hidden Cloud Village did not succeed completely, but nearly half of the supplies sank into the sea.
After that, Uchiha Hokuto, the commander-in-chief of the island base occupied by the Land of Night, dispatched elite teams of four or five people to begin patrolling the sea.
Doichi's five-man squad was one of the patrol teams that had been dispatched.
Moreover, the area of sea they are responsible for patrolling is the farthest from the base, making their burden the heaviest.
"It must be at least two hundred kilometers from here to the base. Is it really possible that Hidden Cloud Village squad could infiltrate from a place like this?"
The five people were traveling on the boundless sea. Apart from the seawater, there were only occasional marine animals such as whales surfacing from the water. Other than that, they could hardly see anything else.
Mifune had some doubts about whether the base command was being a little too cautious.
After all, patrolling the sea on foot is hardly an easy job.
Because compared to the frozen lands of the eastern part of the Land of Night, the climate on the sea is much harsher, and in bad times, one may encounter storms.
Faced with such natural disasters, weaker ninjas and Samurai were simply unable to resist.
"We must not be careless. Ninjas are those who overcome all difficulties in impossible circumstances."
Aburame Jūjirō offered a very insightful opinion.
Shiraishi Aotori and Uchiha Megumi remained silent, conserving their energy and Chakra as much as possible. Judging from their attitude, they clearly did not enjoy working in such a harsh environment.
But such arduous work always needs to be done by someone.
If even their squad can't complete the mission, then sending other squads won't help either.
Just then, Doichi, who was at the very front of the group, suddenly stopped, opened his Byakugan, and looked towards the northeast.
"Are they enemies?"
Mifune gripped the hilt of Samurai katana, his eyes sharp.
"About fifteen kilometers to the northeast, there's a Hidden Cloud Village squad of about a dozen people. The guy leading them has terrifying Chakra."
The Doichi to explain the situation concisely and clearly.
Upon hearing Doichi's assessment, the others exchanged glances, all noticing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
If Doichi could seriously describe the Chakra as terrifying, then the enemy's Chakra must truly be terrifying.
"Follow them! We can't let them enter our territory!"
Without hesitation, Doichi rushed towards the sea to the northeast.
The Mifune and four people quickly followed Doichi's footsteps, moving forward at full speed through the seawater.
Fifteen kilometers is a distance that the Doichi team can cover in the blink of an eye, but it's not far off.
A solitary island appears in the vast sea. The island is quite large, with a dense forest in the center and reefs protruding from the sea all around the beach.
On the vast ocean, this is a decent natural supply point.
The five people set foot on this small island, and their eyes immediately swept towards the woods in the center of the island.
In Doichi's sight, four figures ran swiftly through the woods, charging towards them.
"They're here! They have Sensory ninjas!"
Doichi fixed his gaze, and a powerful Chakra instantly erupted from his body, manifesting as a visible blue aura. He curled his fingers into a tiger-paw attack stance.
" Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Divine Echo!"
Doichi unleashed a series of palm strikes, as fast as lightning.
With each strike, the air vibrated and roared, then transformed into white shockwaves that swept towards the forest in the center of the island like a hurricane.
Then the sand was ripped apart with a tearing sound that made your teeth ache, and the trees in the center of the island were uprooted row by row with devastating speed, and swept into the sea by the terrifying hurricane.
The swirling sandstorm engulfed the entire island.
Unlike the graduation exam a year ago, this time he faced the enemy head-on. Doichi went all out, leaving no room for holding back, and unleashed the full power of all Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms strikes.
"That's outrageous!"
Not to mention the enemies, even the people behind Doichi were affected by the sixty-four hurricane-like dragons that were blasted out in front of them. They couldn't stop their steps from retreating, and their clothes and hair were blown around in the wind.
"Is he/she dead?"
Mifune and the others coughed repeatedly, their eyes fixed on the dust-filled ground ahead.
When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of the forest; Doichi had wiped it off the island, leaving the ground in front of him riddled with potholes.
With a single strike, the island's forest was completely destroyed.
Although the island's forest area is not large, it is enough to demonstrate the terrifying power of Doichi Yi's Gentle Fist technique when unleashed at full force.
On the uneven ground, the Hidden Cloud Village Squad, which originally numbered a dozen or so, now had only six members standing.
Five of them looked terrified, their bodies covered in wounds. One of them collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood, barely breathing, his life force as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
Only the leader of the Hidden Cloud Village was in relatively good condition, but he was still covered in dust and dirt.
Her long, light yellow hair flew wildly behind her head, and she looked disheveled.
"There are still six people left. We originally planned to take care of these henchmen all at once... It seems your physique is quite extraordinary. Did you block their way?"
Doichi raised an eyebrow and looked at the leader of the Hidden Cloud Village.
They were about the same height as me, but at least ten years older.
Long, pale yellow hair fluttered behind her head, and lightning crackled and sparked on her dark-skinned body.
On his right shoulder, there is a striking word "Thunder" carved on it.
It's exactly 'Ai'.
He had no time to grieve for his fallen comrade, for his gaze had already locked onto Doichi, revealing the look of someone eyeing prey. His Lightning Release Chakra erupted further, and his long hair, which had been flowing behind his head, began to dance wildly into the sky.
He instantly activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its maximum extent.
He extended his right hand, curled his thumb and little finger, and raised his index, middle, and ring fingers.
"What a big fish. It seems the mission failure isn't so bad; if we catch you, the Land of Night can make us pay back all our previous losses!"
Without wasting any more words, Ai charged rapidly toward Doichi.
The lightning burst forth at an incredibly rapid speed, covering tens of meters in the blink of an eye and quickly closing in on Doichi.
The three fingers that were thrust forward were like an indestructible blade. Even before they got close, they made Doichi others feel a stinging pain on their skin. The air was torn apart by this domineering finger blade, producing ear-piercing shrieks.
Faced with Ai's overbearing Lightning Release attack, Doichi not only did not retreat or dodge, but instead showed a hint of excitement at seeing a predator.
He also possesses a physique as strong as iron and Chakra level approaching that of Tailed Beasts.
Therefore, Doichi has no need to avoid its sharp edge!
" Gentle Fist - Sky-Rending Divine Light Cannon!"
An even larger amount of Chakra than before surged out from Doichi's body, forming dense and powerful Chakra streams that swirled and danced around him, eventually forming an impenetrable blue Chakra sphere.
Bang!
The instant the Chakra sphere solidified, Doichi planted his feet firmly on the ground, launching his body and the Chakra sphere like a dazzling cannonball.
He tore through the air with a terrifying speed no less than 'Ai', racing wildly across the land.
Behind him and 'Ai', long trails of dust billowed up, carried forward by them.
The last two long trails of smoke and dust collided with a deafening roar.
Between the Chakra ball and the lightning finger blades, fierce and unparalleled streams of air shot out, along with sharp lightning bolts that cleaved through the atmosphere and the ground.
Then, a giant, light bowl was placed upside down on the island.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The entire island began to tremble, large chunks of rock crumbled, and seawater rushed in with a roar.
Mifune and the others, along with the ninja from Hidden Cloud Village, clung tightly to the nearest, still-standing rocks to avoid being swept into the sea by the shockwave from the explosion.
The powerful storm blinded them all, and the seawater, mixed with the storm, washed over their bodies, bringing endless chill and numbness, leaving them utterly disheveled.
These two monsters are really causing chaos!
As seawater flooded the island, 'Ai' tumbled and slid across the surface of the sea, barely managing to stop its backward movement several dozen meters away. It coughed up a mouthful of blood and shakily stood up from the sea.
Doichi also rolled backward, and like Ai, he stood up shakily on the sea surface, his body covered with paralyzing lightning, and his right arm was bleeding profusely, staining the sleeve red.
"Cough cough, I didn't expect that kind of move could detonate at that distance, what a reckless move..."
Ai was breathing heavily, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over his body, as if his internal organs had shifted.
Unlike Kicho, who used Gentle Fist techniques to suppress his Nintaijutsu, Doichi used the most savage, head-on approach to directly injure his body.
What concerned him most was that the Gentle Fist that Doichi had just used was both a defensive shield and an offensive spear, which was similar in principle to his Lightning Release Nintaijutsu.
