This is not the time to lose your temper; be patient.
He did a pretty good job on the Kamijō Chi!
Upon hearing the report from the other side, Jiraiya nodded with great satisfaction.
Jiraiya made the decision not to infringe on this person's rights in the hope that this person would fully cooperate.
I don't know what will happen next!
But at least for now, this person has completed all the tasks assigned to him!
He then turned to the man on the left, the one wearing the Konoha Forehead Protector, and said, "Captain Akai Masahiro, later you will arrange for three reconnaissance teams and Mr. Kamijō Chi's men to go out to sea."
"They don't need to fight; they just need to report the enemy's location as quickly as possible!"
"Other tasks will be determined later based on the situation!"
Upon hearing the leader's arrangement, this person, who was born in the Ninja Academy...
Akai Masahiro Jiraiya, bowed and replied, "Yes, sir. I will select the personnel shortly!"
The requirements and tasks were clear, and he had a concrete idea of how to choose.
The chieftain was Commoners just like them.
Like Orochimaru, he enjoyed extremely high prestige among Konoha ninjas who came from commoner backgrounds!
He wouldn't stoop to the level of that arrogant middle-aged man across from him and lecture this Commoners's pride!
After assigning tasks to his subordinates, Jiraiya reached into his Ninja Tool Pouch at his waist, took out a Scroll, and threw it towards the other side.
Seeing that Kamijō Chi had caught it, he then began to explain, "Mr. Kamijō Chi, the locations recorded in this Scroll are my plans."
"After Captain Akai Masahiro assigns the personnel to you, I need you to divide the outer sea into three teams."
"Have each team's commander lead a squad of Konoha Ninja to oversee the outer sea surveillance points!"
"I don't care how your ships communicate, but all intelligence must be promptly gathered by this team of Ninja and relayed back to Headquarters!"
He knew very well that the other party also had their own way of communicating.
He didn't concern himself with that because he didn't have enough manpower to send out.
However, the information transmitted back to Headquarters must be relayed by our own people.
Because in crucial moments, he can only trust his own people!
Catching the Scroll tossed to him, and listening to the instructions from the other side Kamijō Chi understood what its contents were.
After the other party finished explaining, he nodded, glanced at the man on his left, and replied, "Yes, Lord Jiraiya, rest assured, I will arrange everything!"
She nodded slightly in response.
Jiraiya still had a lot of faith in the person opposite him; they were capable of getting things done!
After all, not everyone can do something like rebellion.
This guy on the other side can not only rebel, but also drive away the righteous successor.
Then the methods won't be too bad!
This battle is not just a matter for one side.
Success or failure, the life or death of the opposing team, are all in it!
This is the fundamental reason why he is willing to give his trust to the other party!
At dawn, the moon hung high in the sky.
Three ships were moving swiftly across the boundless sea.
The crew members stayed silently in a corner, while the captain and a few others stayed up all night, occasionally adjusting the course.
Meanwhile, the Ninja who had been standing guard on the deck and using Chakra to accelerate the ship had already been replaced by one team after another!
A Ninja using Chakra stood atop the sail, watching several black dots suddenly appear on the distant sea.
After observing carefully, he immediately shouted a warning, "Stop the boat! There's something ahead!"
The sound from above caused the Ninja below, who were continuously unleashing Wind Release Ninjutsu, to immediately stop their Chakra output.
The three boats were very close together, and each boat had personnel observing the situation.
So they all stopped their Chunin almost simultaneously!
Experienced drivers will slow down and stop gradually, while beginners will stop abruptly!
The consequence was...
"Bang... Ouch!"
Ouch, that hurts!
My hand!
"Someone has fallen into the water, boss, save them!"
Who fell down?!
"Little Two and Third Brother have fallen!"
"...!"
The sudden stop meant the Ninja, empowered by Chakra, wasn't seriously injured.
But the ordinary sailors on the ship were flung all over the place like rolling gourds.
Some lucky ones only suffer minor bumps and bruises, while others are unlucky enough to end up with broken arms or legs.
As for those unlucky ones, they simply flew into the sea!
The Ninjutsu's sudden halt alerted not only those outside.
The Ninja resting inside the cabin were also quite startled by the commotion!
Kenchū Senju was resting in the cabin closest to the deck, was immediately awakened by the noise.
Fortunately, he was Ninja, and his skills were excellent!
This allowed him to regain his balance immediately and avoid any injury.
After the initial commotion subsided, he immediately grabbed his knife and left the room.
"Clang!"
After the sound of the wooden door opening.
Stepping onto the deck, he quickly scanned the scene, still clad in his Combat Uniform.
Looking at the wailing ordinary people, the two ships anchored in the distance, and the pale-faced man standing under the sail!
Kenchū Senju immediately guessed what had happened.
He pointed at the pale-faced young man and shouted irritably at the group of people standing there dumbfounded, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and save him!"
Upon hearing the magistrate's shout, the members of the Wood Release Squadron on duty immediately knew what to do.
Some of them jumped into the water to rescue those who had unfortunately fallen in.
Some of them took care of the people on the ship who had severed limbs and were screaming in agony!
Meanwhile, the Ninja on the ship's top, who had almost been thrown off, quickly jumped down, walked to Kenchū Senju, bowed, and said, "Sir, the outline of our target has appeared on the distant sea."
"Furthermore, I also saw many masts near those two islands!"
"Therefore, I... shouted for the ship to stop immediately!"
He was reporting the situation and explaining the reasons.
He thought the team members would stop so suddenly.
He heard the word "immediately" in the order he gave.
Upon hearing the report, Kenchū Senju nodded slightly, confirming that his previous guesses had completely aligned with reality!
The Ninja who had been on guard earlier were all safe and sound, and the other two ships had stopped ahead.
Given the time elapsed, he immediately suspected that they had arrived at their destination and that his subordinates had made a mistake!
His subordinates' report confirmed his suspicions.
But his subordinates' foolish actions were giving him a major headache.
Should this situation be punished?
Such a commotion must have disturbed the adults, so they deserved to be punished.
But these guys were just following orders.
This situation only arose because of a lack of experience!
He really didn't know what to do for a moment.
These men in the Wood Release Squadron were all trusted confidants from other tribes, assigned to the adults by their Clan.
These are all talented and loyal individuals.
They are all quite capable, but they lack experience.
And to be punished for something so ridiculous!
Too heavy is excessive, too light is also unreasonable!
He, caught in the middle, really couldn't quite grasp the situation!
While he was struggling with what to do next.
The other two ships in front gradually retreated to the vicinity of the middle ship.
And then he heard footsteps behind him!
When the ship made a sound, Uka Senju was fast asleep.
However, his long history of being assassinated abroad kept him constantly vigilant.
And this time was no exception, right as the commotion began.
He immediately manipulated his Chakra to stabilize his body in place!
When the commotion subsided, he intended to come out and inspect the situation immediately.
But they heard the sound of Kenchū Senju leaving.
His habitual Sensory Technique allowed him to roughly understand the surrounding situation.
The ship suddenly stopped, but there were no enemies around.
Furthermore, the other two ships in the Sensory Technique also stopped!
This immediately made him guess the reason for the commotion!
So he quickly washed up in the cabin to erase any traces of his rest.
He opened the door and walked out of the room with his companions!
He heard the report clearly from the squad leader of the Wood Release Squadron, codenamed Moku Nana.
After hearing the report, Kenchū Senju remained silent for a long time.
He roughly guessed why, so he slightly increased the noise of his shoes stomping on the wooden floor.
on deck.
I heard a sound coming from behind me.
Kenchū Senju quickly turned around and bowed to the person who had just turned the corner, saying, "Greetings, Lord Uka!"
This action also reminded Moku Nana, who was reporting.
Thump!
He turned around and knelt down in the direction of the approaching man, saying, "Greetings, sir."
" Moku Nana's mistake caused you to disturb the master and injure his companion. Please punish him!"
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head even further.
It also completely exposed the back of the neck!
At this point, if you want to kill him...
Then all you need is a light cut, aimed at that bulging joint.
In a single stroke, a young head could fall and fly away!
After bowing, Kenchū Senju straightened up, intending to take a few steps forward to greet and report.
As Uka Senju walked up the wooden planks onto the deck, she raised her hand to stop Kenchū Senju from speaking!
He neither stopped nor paid any attention to the person apologizing.
Uka Senju walked straight to the people who had been lying on the ground groaning, but had now forced themselves to stop!
He glanced down at the people lying around him.
Looking at the severe bone fractures on the outside, even the less severe ones had their hands and feet twisted beyond recognition!
After observing the situation of these ordinary people, he turned around and walked to the side of the subordinate who was kneeling on the ground begging for forgiveness.
This person is only a few years older than me.
Now, however, they are kneeling obediently, their hands trembling slightly with fear, yet they dare not make any move.
He ignored Kenchū Senju Aburame Kaun Kaono, Inuzuka Furin, and the Wood Release Squadron Ninja who had just stepped out of the cabin, who were standing around him.
He also ignored the gazes coming from the two large ships approaching!
Uka Senju stood still and quietly looked at the person on the ground for a while.
Then, a flash of blue light appeared on his body, and he moved his right foot.
The person who had been kneeling in place then crawled into the cabin with the sound of the wooden hull cracking!
"Click-click-click~Bang!"
The bulge of the hull on the deck of a large ship.
Amidst this teeth-grinding noise, a huge hole in the shape of a human appeared!
Seeing this scene, I realized that some important figures had come out earlier.
Ordinary people, fearing that disturbing the peace might lead to death, couldn't help but gasp.
Then he tightly covered his mouth and closed his eyes!
They were afraid that the commotion they had made would lead to their deaths.
I was also afraid that if I looked any longer, I would lose my life.
Thus, ostriches and quails became their best means of survival!
After that kick...
Uka Senju then made no further moves.
He turned to Kenchū Senju and ordered, "Lower anchor and stop the ship. Send men to scout the situation!"
"Arrange for medical-nin to treat as many of those who went to sea with the Senju as possible."
"As for that idiot, if he's not dead, then treat him!"
"If it's dead, just throw it into the sea to feed the fish!"
I saw how Uka handled it.
Knowing that this was not a severe punishment, Kenchū Senju immediately bowed and said, "Yes, sir!"
After issuing these commands.
Uka Senju then led the people back to the cabin where he had rested and discussed business earlier!
Tonight's unexpected event wasn't a major incident, but it wasn't minor either.
The punishment will naturally be just like this!
Whether the punishment is severe enough to warrant execution or lenient enough to warrant release, it all depends on Uka Senju's will.
However, tonight, it wasn't just the Wood Release Squadron that was present.
This is also the first mission for the Wood Release Squadron!
This mishap occurred before we even saw the enemy.
It's impossible not to punish them!
Because there were enough people around, including Mixed Squadron and Merchant Ninja Organization.
Therefore, his punishment cannot be too lenient!
Moreover, Uka Senju also wanted to use this incident to give the Wood Release Squadron a heads-up.
That means when you're out doing something, you need to keep your mind constantly on your head.
Don't let your excitement or a moment of relief cause you to abandon that thing!
Therefore, a kick was the best punishment.
To say it's light is an understatement; just look at the holes in the hull and you'll realize you can't call it light!
If there is no death, no maiming, and no torture involved, then it cannot be considered serious.
Just how powerful was that kick?
Uka Senju, as Jonin, knew perfectly well whether she would kill or injure someone!
Of course, if the person is unlucky enough to crash into the cabin, there happens to be a wooden fork behind them to catch them.
That person deserves to die, no matter how you let them go!
The wooden corridor, which had been somewhat blocked, suddenly became empty as Uka Senju led the way.
Aburame Kaun and Inuzuka Furin followed behind the captain without any expression.
The members of the Wood Release Squadron immediately made way, lowered their heads and stood aside, not daring to make a sound even when breathing!
They were all trained in the same batch.
This first mission has given those he's loyal to such a chance to shine!
Or in front of outsiders, Shinobi Clan Squadron?
This made those who had stood out from the thousands, and who had previously been somewhat smug, feel a sense of frustration!
At the same time, the consequences of their wrongdoings immediately served as a wake-up call for this group of people.
They knew the identity and future of the people they were pledging allegiance to.
They are not machines trained by the Root methods!
The Senju used both internal and external methods to control their loyalty.
Aren't they also using this method to secure a future for themselves and those they care about?
Therefore, you need to minimize actions that result in losing points, and you can't be arrogant when you score!
This is not only to avoid making mistakes in punishment, but also to leave a good impression on adults.
After all, who in this world doesn't want to progress?
Uka Senju's figure disappeared around the corner once more.
Just as the Wood Release Squadron members breathed a sigh of relief, Kenchū Senju's voice rang out. "What are you standing there for? Get moving!"
" Moku Roku, Moku Kyū, and Mokuju, lead the team forward for reconnaissance."
" Moku Shi and Moku Go, pack up and disembark to help the Medical Treatment Team treat the wounded!"
" Moku San, go help those two teams of idiots and find the person as soon as possible!"
I had just relaxed a little when I heard shouts and commands behind me.
The young men of the Wood Release Squadron quickly responded, "Yes, Lord Kenchū!"
After bowing, they immediately began to act according to orders!
On the boat to the right.
As the ship slowed down, the Ninja resting on board immediately woke up.
Upon discovering the presence of the middle ship, they immediately moved closer.
Yoshikazu Senju also had his team members help find people for the middle ship.
However, given the commotion on the ship earlier, it was not appropriate for him to go over!
After Uka's punishment ended, he couldn't help but exchange a smile with his fellow Senju Hands clansman beside him.
Then, as soon as Kenchū Senju's voice rang out, the Wood Release Squadron began to move.
Remembering the reconnaissance mission assigned yesterday, Yoshikazu Senju turned slightly to his team members behind him and instructed, "Teams 1, 2, and 3, follow up and conduct reconnaissance."
"Teams 4 and 5, let's start preparing dinner!"
"Teams 6, 7, 8, and 9 will take turns on duty and resting."
"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing the order, the Mixed Squadron bowed and began their respective missions!
After making arrangements for everyone, Yoshikazu Senju said to his two teammates beside him, "You two, take charge of hosting!"
I have to go now!
"Yes!" Inuzuka Clan, dressed in Combat Uniform and with face paint on, replied.
Meeting the captain's gaze, the Aburame nodded and habitually adjusted her small round sunglasses.
Having given his instructions, Yoshikazu Senju moved his feet, empowered by Chakra.
He leaped over a gap of more than ten meters and landed on the deck of the large ship in the middle!
"Bang!"
The sound rang out, Yoshikazu Senju's movements also alerted the ship on the far left.
Just as he was awakened by the commotion, Kamijou Masamoto turned to the blond-haired middle-aged man Masamae Kamijō him and said, "Uncle Tsushima, you are now in charge of the things on the ship."
"Make contact with all relevant departments on the island as soon as possible and have them report the entire situation on the island!"
"Yes, don't worry, I'll start making arrangements right away!" Huang clasped his hands in greeting and responded to Tsushima, the strongest member of the Merchant Ninja sect.
Get the response you want.
Nodding, Masamae Kamijō very back, " Seiichirō, come with me!"
After saying that, he circulated his Chakra and leaped onto the deck of the large ship in the middle!
The young man with light blond hair named Seiichirō quickly followed after receiving the order.
"Bang! Bang!"
The two landed on the deck, one after the other.
Having just greeted his clansman Yoshikazu Senju, Kenchū Senju turned to attend to the client.
"Mr. Masamae Kamijō, please take Yoshikazu and Captain Ryokazu with you!"
"Captain Yoshikazu knows the location; it's in that same cabin from earlier in the day."
After exchanging greetings, Kenchū Senju began making arrangements for the two.
It was brought up to the side.
Yoshikazu Senju walked up and greeted the client, then took over Kenchū's work and led the two of them toward Uka's Earth Flow!
Kenchū Senju nodded gratefully to his kinsmen and then arranged for his subordinates to attend to other matters.
Despite the Wood Release Squadron's elaborate scheme, none of their own members were seriously injured.
However, almost everyone on board was injured!
Although Senju also had the flaw of Ninja not taking these people seriously.
However, they were quite considerate of those on their own side.
People like this who get injured while working for others definitely need to be healed using Medical Ninjutsu!
There were just too many injured people, and the Medical Treatment team only had three people.
Even he, Senju, had no choice but to bring two other Senju from his team to help!
Unfortunately, Medical Ninjutsu is primarily associated with the yang element.
And every Senju possesses this attribute!
Therefore, more or less, all Senju members would know a thing or two about Medical Ninjutsu!
"Knock knock knock!"
Arriving at the cabin door along the corridor, Yoshikazu Senju and knocked.
I recognized who was coming from the footsteps.
Uka Senju, who was sitting at the Low Table with her two teammates, said, "Go in!"
There was a response from outside the door.
Wearing Combat Uniform Yoshikazu Senju led the client into the room.
As for the subordinate who came with the client...
Then I guess I'm doomed to stay outside!
" Yoshikazu, sit down!"
"Mr. Masamae Kamijō, please have a seat!"
Uka Senju greeted the two who entered one after the other with a smile common among the Shinobi Clan.
Yoshikazu Senju walked to the left side of the Low Table and sat down cross-legged.
Upon hearing the greeting from Masamae Kamijō head of the household, Kamijou Masama immediately put on a smile and said to the three people in the room, "Thank you, Lord Uka, Lord Kaun, and Lord Furin!"
After thanking the three men, he walked forward and sat cross-legged in his usual spot.
"Please wait for the news from the Front Line. Let's have some tea!" Seeing the client sit down, Uka Senju smiled and poured a cup of tea, handing it to him.
The other party was, after all, a major client, even though most of what they delivered consisted of unharvested herbs.
But once the battle is won, the goods can be delivered, right?
Moreover, the price for subsequent collaborations will need to be negotiated after the initial agreement is reached!
Being polite at this time will not be a bad thing.
At least until the Senju obtain the secret of Merchant Ninja's harvest, a win-win situation is the only way for everyone to truly be happy!
Having accepted the tea with both hands, Masamae Kamijō understand the relationship between the two parties.
The fact that Senju acted this way proves that he still has value to be used.
Only those who have value have the right to speak!
But that wasn't enough to justify his loud voice. Dressed in a black kimono, he smiled broadly and said, " Lord Uka, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities."
" The Front Line personnel are working tirelessly and making great contributions by conducting investigations late into the night; waiting is only to be expected!"
"I just arranged for someone to contact people on the island and have them send the intelligence back."
"It just so happens that this takes time, so I'll take this opportunity to shamelessly sample this rare and excellent tea here with the adults!"
Upon hearing this, Uka Senju replied with a smile, "Very well, Mr. Masamae Kamijō, how about you try this tea?"
His original intention was to arrange for the other side to contact the people on the island.
Let's get a firsthand look at the situation on the island!
But I didn't expect this guy to be so sensible!
He really liked this proactive attitude.
This will save him the trouble of making arrangements!
Inside the cabin, the group chatted politely about all sorts of things.
The six squads that had set out earlier to gather intelligence also waded through the water to reach the Front Line.
They exchanged a glance, looking at the ship a few hundred meters away.
One of the Wood Release captains spoke up, "Gentlemen, based on our observations, they seem to have personnel monitoring the entire line."
"That's the largest ship in the vicinity!"
"How about we cooperate to take it down first, then investigate the rest?"
Upon hearing the words of the Wood Release Squadron leader...
A squad leader from the Mixed Squadron, who came from the Aburame Clan, pushed up his sunglasses and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's sneak in."
"You're in charge of the last three directions; leave the work in the front to us!"
"Remember to hide well and don't move. Only make your move when the others have chased you over."
"If things get too difficult ahead, I'll give you a signal!"
Upon hearing this, the squad leader of the Wood Release Squadron who made the suggestion immediately glanced at his two comrades beside him.
Such a proposal is clearly aimed at taking care of their own side; if they take the initiative first, the corresponding pressure will be greater.
If the resistance on the ship is strong, then the pressure on those at the front will be even greater!
Whether they were waiting for someone or waiting for a signal before taking action, the tasks they did in the rear were all easy.
They all knew why this kindness was directed at them.
So he accepted this good intention; now it's up to his two companions!
After hearing what the other person said, the three of them looked at each other in perfect unison.
Having learned of their thoughts, the squad leader of the Wood Release Squadron who had made the suggestion spoke again, "Thank you, seniors. If anything happens ahead, please remember to send a signal as soon as possible!"
"Rest assured, we will not let any enemy escape."
After he finished speaking, the other two squad leaders of the Wood Release Squadron immediately nodded to express their agreement.
Upon hearing this, the Aburame squad leader, who had presented the plan, smirked and said, "Let's go!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the group of people who had gathered together vanished from the surface of the water.
The Wood Release Squadron members opposite him were sensible, and he was willing to help the children!
Although these little guys are very young, it's uncertain whether they will survive.
But the other party was the first Middle Unit member of Wood Release, and the future of Wood Release lay there.
You can't just hand it in when you need it!
The beauty of the ocean is that even without wind, there are small waves.
This sound also effectively concealed any movement on the seabed.
This ship is one of the three overseas surveillance and command posts arranged by Jiraiya.
They went out to sea after dinner.
When they first arrived, everyone was full of energy, but after several hours of guarding, they became disoriented.
The sea was completely empty, with only one surveillance ship in the distance.
Staring at these boring things for so long caused the staff on duty to gradually become sleepy.
Of course, as experienced commanders, they will arrange personnel rotation at reasonable times.
This is the moment when the shift workers haven't gotten up yet, and the on-duty personnel are just starting to feel sleepy.
On the seabed, a group of six small teams surrounded the large ship.
After exchanging hand signals in the water to indicate their location, they slowly floated to the surface.
The one in charge of the bow of the ship is that Aburame Clan squad leader from earlier.
The other two teams, preparing to take action, were located on the left and right sides of the forward half of the ship.
They lay quietly on the bottom of the boat, waiting for their teammates' signal to move!
Meanwhile, the Aburame squad leader released some of the Mole as she rose to the surface.
Once these black Mole reached the surface, they immediately crawled towards the large ship.
They were very inconspicuous, and slowly made their way up the wooden hull to the deck.
Then, under the master's control, they quickly find their place.
From the bow, after peering through the Mole's vision, he could clearly see the situation on the deck and in parts of the cabins.
The Aburame squad leader in the water quickly swung her left leg.
Receiving his signal from both sides, the three teams mobilized their Chakra almost simultaneously.
Then, with the help of Chakra, he suddenly burst out of the water and landed on the deck!
Secret Technique: Spindle Technique
Swordsmanship: Flash
"Bang!"
Several faint sounds that occurred almost simultaneously alerted the personnel on duty to the problem immediately.
As he raised his head, his gaze involuntarily fell upon the swarm of black insects rushing towards him directly in front of him.
Although his Ninja career had only just begun and his skills were average.
But his years of training allowed him to react immediately!
As he rapidly Hand Seals in an attempt to dodge the attack...
His mouth opened, as if he was about to shout a warning to his companions!
Unfortunately, the commotion ahead caught his attention.
Just as he was about to react, a short knife flashed from his right!
It was too fast, giving him no chance to react.
When they sensed the flash of the blade and felt pain in their bodies.
The guard wearing the Konoha Forehead Protector only then realized he was dead!
After years of arduous training, he finally became Ninja.
He hasn't even had a chance to enjoy the best years of his life.
He failed to fulfill his duty of issuing warnings while on duty!
The head, its face contorted in terror, fell to the ground!
"Thump-thump!"
Its head bounced off the wooden plank of the boat.
And this sound can be considered as him having completed his warning mission!
Unfortunately, this notification came a little too late.
With the combined efforts of six Shinobi Clan, the lowest- Elite Chunin from various clans.
By the time the head hit the ground, the front half of the large ship had already been mostly cleared!
As for the rear half of the ship, they couldn't hear the sound of it landing either.
However, the commotion caused by the killings in the first half still woke up everyone who was resting in the second half!
Suddenly, the large ship became lively in the quiet night.
A Young Man wearing Merchant Ninja Forehead Protector was awakened by the commotion in front of him.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his comrades who had been killed in front of him.
So he shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Kill!" Behind this Young Man, another Young Man wearing Forehead Protector drew his weapon and charged toward the killer's companion.
In another cabin, they were awakened by a series of noises.
A Young Man wearing Konoha Forehead Protector and holding Kunai opened the door!
He peered ahead and saw several men wielding weapons in the dim, swaying lights of the large ship.
However, what they wore on their heads were not the Forehead Protector of any ninja village, but the clan emblems of the Shinobi Clan!
This discovery immediately prompted him to exclaim, "It's the Senju! The Shinobi Clan has arrived!"
"Quickly send a message! Send a message! Hold them off! Hold them off!"
As he shouted, he channeled his Chakra to block a figure rushing towards him.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing Kunai rang out.
Ah~!
That was the scream that came from this Konoha Ninja!
He only blocked it for a moment.
Meanwhile, the Kunai in his opponent's other hand pierced into his unarmored stomach.
In the single cabin next door.
A middle-aged man wearing Merchant Ninja Forehead Protector was startled awake.
Upon witnessing this scene, he immediately realized the disparity in martial prowess between the two sides.
So he called out a warning, "If we can't hold them off, retreat from the rear! Retreat from the rear!"
"We must get the intelligence back."
"Can't be stopped!"
He knew very well the strength of the Konoha Ninja who was instantly killed.
As the strongest Merchant Ninja on this ship, he could only manage a Flat Chest with his opponent!
Such a powerful figure was instantly defeated by his enemy in the very first exchange?
What's the point of fighting this?
Running away and bringing back intelligence is the best option!
Especially since their mission was to raise awareness and gather intelligence, not to be on the front lines of fighting the enemy!
After shouting that, he reached for his waist with his right hand.
He flung several Kunai and numerous Senbon forward!
Having made this symbolic gesture of resistance, he immediately ran towards the back of the large ship.
He planned to meet up with the others behind him and escape together!
Having lived for decades, he knew perfectly well how to survive in this situation.
Running alone makes you an attractive target!
blending into the crowd is the best way for him to escape safely!
At the very back of the large ship, the sounds of movement and stillness awakened me.
A group of Merchant Ninja and ordinary people hurriedly ran out of the room.
Just as these Merchant Ninja were about to head to provide support, they heard shouts from ahead!
They heard the enemy's identity and their leader's orders perfectly clearly.
Therefore, as those furthest from the battlefield, they immediately made the most correct choice given the current situation!
That means running away and saving your life!
Unfortunately, the rear, which had been completely silent before, was now empty.
As soon as the first person jumped off the boat, a whole barrage of Shuriken flew towards them!
Ninja can handle such attacks, but ordinary people can only survive by sheer luck.
Previously, they envied those who could run fast, but under this wave of attacks...
They, on the other hand, were glad that they were slow!
They were attacked from both sides, with people holding them up from both ends.
The excitement lasted only a few minutes, and then the large ship...
One of the three monitoring centers Jiraiya had set up on the outer sea fell silent once again!
But the smell of blood that had accidentally fallen into the sea from the ship gradually attracted carnivores to gather in this area!
Although these six squads acted very quickly.
But even in the quietest night, sound travels very far.
This caused the smaller boats closest to the large ship to notice something was amiss!
Driven by their fear of death, they sounded the alarm and frantically rowed the small boat away!
On the large ship, the six teams had just finished cleaning when they heard the commotion outside.
The three squads of Wood Release Squadron immediately drew their weapons, intending to take care of these people.
But the Aburame captain of the third squad of the Mixed Squadron called out to them, "Don't go. We've already alerted you; your going won't make a difference!"
"With a large ship, we can gather fairly comprehensive information."
"Instead of killing those people, why don't you help with brain scans and information organization?"
Hearing what was said behind them, the three squad leaders of the Wood Release Squadron exchanged glances and realized that it really didn't seem necessary.
So they turned around and led their team to search the ground for the body.
They selected individuals of sufficient status and used Ninjutsu to examine their minds!
After they made this decision.
The warnings from the nearest small boats on either side of the large ship alerted the other small boats closest to it.
Using this simplest and most effective communication method, the other two Command Center quickly received the information.
"Where did the news come from?" A Young Man fully armed and wearing Konoha Forehead Protector asked, leading two teammates dressed similarly onto the deck.
The middle-aged man Merchant Ninja had come out to inquire first heard the question from the person beside him.
He quickly turned around and bowed to the group, saying, "Lords of Konoha, the information is currently under investigation."
"Because the warning came from near another Command Center."
" I am currently arranging for personnel to travel by boat to inspect and understand the situation!"
Although the middle-aged man Merchant Ninja, was the head of this Command Center.
But considering the identity of the person opposite him, and Merchant Ninja's current predicament...
This made him, as a traitor, dare not show the slightest disrespect!
After all, that kid could fight back with the help of the Senju.
So a core Traitor like him will definitely not have a good ending!
The current leader had given careful instructions on this point before we arrived.
Therefore, these people are very clear about their own position!
Upon hearing the reply, the leading Konoha Ninja frowned slightly and ordered, "Arrange for personnel to investigate as soon as possible."
"Split into several groups, and bring the intelligence back as quickly as possible!"
"The commotion we're making has likely been noticed by most people on the shore."
"If we're slow, you know the consequences!"
Although he could roughly guess what the situation was.
But intelligence is something you can't fake; that place is very dangerous right now.
But the ones scouting ahead aren't Konoha comrades, are they?
If he could get a clearer picture of the report, he wouldn't mind waiting a little while!
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man Merchant Ninja, cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
As soon as he agreed, three teams of Merchant Ninja quickly ran out from the Command Center to investigate the situation!
Half an hour later.
The cost was the deaths of two teams of Ninja.
They waited until everyone on the large ship had left before boarding to investigate.
Based on the circumstances of these companions' deaths, and the previously vaguely seen departing figures in the distance.
The information was relayed back to the large ship, and after being processed, it was transmitted to the island by the Konoha Ninja team through their ninja beasts!
Kisen Island.
Inside the tallest building in the only small town.
Jiraiya, who had already gone to rest, was woken up from his room by his subordinates.
Wearing Combat Uniform, he opened the door and looked at his subordinates outside.
Jiraiya put on his armor, he asked, "Are the enemies here?"
Upon hearing the question, the Young Man wearing Konoha Forehead Protector who had knocked on the door quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, sir!"
"According to intelligence from the front, the entire crew of Command Ship No. 2 has been killed by the enemy."
"They couldn't even manage to send out a message; it was only when the two small boats closest to the command ship noticed the problem that they started issuing warnings!"
"Subsequently, both the third and first ships dispatched multiple teams of Ninja to investigate."
"Only then, based on the situation of Ship Number Two and the clothing of the people who left, were we able to confirm the enemy's intelligence!"
Put on the breastplate and backplate, and thread the connecting strap through the iron ring.
With a pull, adjust the tightness to the right level, and the Shinobi World Edition armor is ready to be worn!
After hearing his subordinate's report, Jiraiya made no comment.
Only after putting on the armor and attaching the Ninja Tool Pouch.
He then turned his gaze to the person who was bowing his head to report!
I glanced at the messenger I had chosen.
