However, when I think about the hundreds of thousands of energy that I've recently gained...
Uka Senju could only suppress her feelings of guilt towards the two of them!
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, let's take it slow!
After muttering something to himself, he turned his gaze to everyone and said, "Alright, the time to go back has been set. You can all enjoy yourselves tonight when we get to the camp!"
"Go down and inform the team now, and start packing up to return to camp this afternoon!"
Upon hearing the instructions from above, everyone quickly suppressed their smiles, bowed, and said, "Yes, sir!"
Ignoring the guys' murmurs, he walked out of the tent.
After everyone had left, Uka Senju turned to her teammates and Fiancée and said, "When we get back, would you like to visit the Akimichi Clan?"
"At least two meals!" Aburame Kaun, as she leaned back against the tent's support pole.
"Sure, two meals or even three are fine!"
Smilingly accepting her friend's offer, Uka Senju got up and began packing her things with Furin.
Time quickly passed to around 3 PM.
Uka Senju led everyone across the Summoning Island back to where they had launched the boat.
Fortunately, although it was described as a simple campsite, the team members put a lot of effort into setting it up.
This meant that the camp was still operational even after ten days.
After assigning the duty schedule for the men on their way back today...
Uka Senju then led her two teammates toward the large tent in the middle.
In the Shinobi World, when people go on missions, the teams usually divide up their lodgings into small groups.
Uka Senju's tent also serves as a venue for meetings and other purposes.
Therefore, it was much larger than normal, and the three members of their team lived in the back half of the tent.
It was this deep relationship—growing up together since childhood and living together when facing enemies—that gave him the confidence to directly arrange for the Aburame Kaun to help collect energy!
The next morning.
On the Summoning Island.
After everyone boarded the ship, Uka Senju used her Wood Release technique to place the ship on the sea!
"Raise the sails!" Kenchū Senju said, seeing Uka's gesture at the bow.
"Splash!"
A crisp sound rang out, amplified by Chakra.
The sail, which would normally require the cooperation of many people, was lifted up by a single team member.
Wind Release: Sky-Slicing Wave
The two team members used Wind Release to blow air onto the sails, just like before.
This propelled the wooden boat to turn and move forward!
The rest of the people were scattered in twos and threes around the large ship, guarding against underwater problems.
Only after they had sailed out of this area did they gradually return to their cabins to rest or relax on the deck!
This large wooden ship sailed monotonously and tediously on the boundless sea for nearly nine hours.
From sunrise to almost sunset.
As the sun changed, everyone on the ship also reached dinnertime!
Uka Senju and his two companions, along with Kenchū Senju Sekisei Senju, sat on Low Table that extended from the deck and chatted idly.
" Brother Kenchū, do you want a bear but not a golden eagle?"
"Yes, Lord Uka," said Kenchū Senju, eating his dinner while holding his bowl. "My element is lacking in wind, so it's best suited to be strengthened by something like a bear."
"While having a golden eagle would increase my combat options, I feel that a bear suits me better!"
After considering this person's fighting style, Uka Senju nodded and said, "Then you'll see if you can get another Albatross later!"
"While this race's combat prowess is average, their ability to fly is a significant boost!"
They are the ones who will carry out this mission.
Although the Clan would give a reward, this was such a huge haul.
How come each of them managed to choose one first!
Uka Senju was considering whether or not to seek personal gain.
Assign each Middle Unit under your command a flying summon beast!
The Golden Eagle Clan is difficult to find, but the Albatross Clan is a very good one.
The main reason for signing them was their size!
Unlike the Golden Eagle Clan, whose strength is judged by size...
Adult Albatross can almost always reach a height of over ten meters.
Based on his guess, this manned capability... there's a high probability this Clan Meeting be used for Logistics!
When the ship was about to pass by an island reef.
"Stone... watch out!" Uka Senju, who was about to chat with Sekisei Senju on the other side, sensed a subtle fluctuation of Chakra.
So he shouted to remind everyone, dropped what he was holding, and stood up.
Wood Release: Battle Armor Technique
This Ninjutsu, which can be cast instantly without any rank, was activated immediately as Uka stood up.
He then channeled his Chakra into the large ship beneath his feet.
Let the great ship be reinforced and changed according to your will!
After Uka gave the hint, everyone around the Low Table responded in their own way.
The Wood Release Squadron members on the large ship, who were not yet wearing armor, hurriedly went to put it on.
Those who hadn't removed their armor immediately drew their weapons and went to the outermost edge, looking towards the spot where the Chakra fluctuations had occurred!
" The Mole noticed, but it was too late!"
A two-meter-tall man dressed in a black robe laughed and said in a voice with a strong curry accent.
As he finished speaking, he turned his attention to the right side of the ship at sea, which he had been focusing on.
Then a Blue Chakra Ball that had been prepared for a long time was launched!
Looking at the flying object, it was very similar to the Tailed Beast Bomb and Rasengan from later anime.
I can roughly sense the power of this attack!
Uka Senju immediately swiped her fingers and pressed them to the ground.
He also used Wood Release Chakra to stimulate the growth of the large ship beneath his feet, providing space for Ninjutsu.
Ninja Art: Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon
"Bang!"
After a loud crash, three doors painted with gaping, grotesque faces landed on the left side of the ship.
The place where Wood Release created a platform!
The key to this Ninjutsu is absorbing and weakening Ninjutsu, not resisting it through sheer strength.
So Uka Senju used this wooden plank that grew on the sea surface as a base to support the door's descent!
Meanwhile, the members of the Wood Release Squadron also lined up on both sides of the large ship according to their squad formations, ready to defend!
"Uncle, that thing looks a bit like Tailed Beast Bomb."
" Sarutobi has a lot of things hidden!"
A young man with a green and white shaved head and carrying a long knife was expressing his opinion to the burly man beside him.
Although due to the location, it was impossible to see who initiated the attack or how it was launched.
But upon seeing the Blue Chakra Ball flying in the sky, he, as Jinchūriki, immediately understood the type of attack!
The Third Raikage nodded slightly but did not reply to his nephew. Instead, he began to arrange the encirclement and attack. " Dodai, organize the men for the attack."
" Blue B, Seiga Yasaka, you two will follow."
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
A Young Man wearing a stand-up collar dark gray shirt and an oddly shaped hat, with both eyes visible at the moment, bowed and said.
Although he has not yet become the auditor of the Double Lariat".
But thanks to his Lava Release Kekkei Genkai, he became Raikage Courtier, Elite Jonin of Kumogakure, before he was even thirty!
"Uncle, what about you?" Blue B her long, yin-yang green and white hair, asked curiously.
As the strongest person on my side, how can I leave the entire survival to my subordinates now that I'm already here?
If you do it yourself, won't we be able to speed things up a bit?
The Third Raikage rolled his eyes at his talkative nephew beside him, having no time to reply.
The original plan involved a team of twenty-four Elite Jonin and two Kage Level shinobi who would attempt to ambush the enemy.
However, our side brought two more Jinchūriki, while the opposing side brought nine more Jonin, along with two individuals whose methods were unpredictable and whose Chakra aura suggested they Kage Level!
This team of forty people, although it appears that the numbers on both sides are roughly equal.
However, the worst members of their own team were all Jonin.
How much effort would it take to defeat a mid-level Middle Unit that Chunin mostly of Chunin?
But this plan was to deliver a fatal blow.
Therefore, his mission was to ambush and kill Wood Release in one fell swoop!
Although this approach, coupled with the differing identities of both sides, is somewhat disgraceful.
If he can reliably defeat the enemy, even the Third Raikage can set aside his pride for once!
Standing to the side and slightly behind, I saw the Raikage's Byakugan.
Dodai quickly pulled back the talkative Blue B and waved to the group behind him, saying, "Threes in a group, go!"
" Blue B, Seiga Yasaka, you two provide support as needed."
After saying that, he immediately grabbed Blue B and charged towards the enemy in front of him.
Pulled away by her companions, Blue B unable to ask any questions.
So he focused his attention on the battlefield!
"People are coming from behind! Seventeen from Kumogakure, Jonin!" Kenchū Senju, standing on the other side, quickly warned as he watched the enemies charging towards them from afar.
"Boom!"
The Chakra ball collided with the Triple Rashomon.
The loud noise completely drowned out all the commotion nearby.
Even some of the people who were on guard against the other side couldn't help but turn around and take a look!
As a psychic of the Triple Rashomon, Uka Senju knew what was going on when the two collided.
So he quickly used his Sensory Technique to probe behind him!
After just one scan, his face fell!
"Wood 3, Wood 4, Wood 5, three teams, turn around and deal with what's behind you!"
A shout imbued with Chakra rang out after the impact in front.
Upon hearing this, the three squads immediately turned and ran towards the other side of the ship!
At this moment, Kenchū Senju and his group unleashed their first wave of combined Ninjutsu at the enemy in front of them.
Water Release: Water Fang Bullet
Lightning Release: Lightning Net
Seventeen Jonin, at least, arrived from behind, including two with unusual auras.
However, in Uka Senju's calculations, their own strength was indeed much weaker.
However, there were a total of twenty-seven members at the lowest level of Chunin behind them.
Even if it can't stop them, it's enough to buy time for them to arrive!
Yes, we're waiting for someone to come!
Just as the enemy's attack was announced.
He had already called for help through the Small Iron Ring in his ear.
It wasn't that he didn't want to run, it's just that when he saw the force of the attack...
He guessed that this escape wouldn't end well!
The subsequent appearance of Kumogakure further confirmed his idea of delaying and resisting.
No matter what choice she makes, Uka Senju always finds a way to survive.
But that method would only allow him to survive; he was the only one who could survive.
But he didn't want that, which is why he was trying so hard to think of ways to bring as many people home as possible!
"Heh~!"
Seeing the effect of the attack ahead, Shimura Danzō, whose arm had been restored but who still only had one eye, couldn't help but utter a syllable.
The two-meter-tall man in black robes, who was launching the attack, saw his confident attack being easily blocked.
He had a pent-up anger inside, but nowhere to vent it.
After all, you can't just say "incompetent" to yourself!
So when he heard that mocking laugh...
He immediately erupted, turning around and yelling angrily at the person beside him in his curry-speaking voice, "What are you yelling about, you piece of trash who's been beaten like a dog? What are you yelling about?!"
"One-eyed bastard, you beast who eats my nephew's heart, liver, and lungs...!"
Upon hearing that syllable, the other man in black knew he was in trouble.
But he also disliked this companion, so he stood a little distance away from him.
This resulted in him only blocking the latter half of the second sentence.
The ones in front were successfully sprayed away by their companions.
After hearing what that annoying voice said.
Fully armed, Shimura Danzō's face immediately darkened!
As he turned his head to express his anger with his eyes, his hand also brushed across his waist.
And so he held the two Kunai in his hands!
The nine Root and nine Konoha Ninja behind him were shocked to hear their leader being attacked like this.
The crowd immediately drew their weapons and surrounded Danzo, and even the Konoha Ninja who disliked Danzo did the same!
But when Shimura Danzō and his eighteen Ninja were about to make their move...
The words of another person in black robes of normal height stopped everyone's movements!
"Don't forget why you came here!"
"If you're willing to spare the Wood Release, then make your move!"
After covering his companion's mouth, the black-robed man named Rōji finished speaking to Danzo.
He immediately released his struggling companion and then scolded the man, "You idiot, have you forgotten the adults' orders?"
Have you been living a comfortable life for too long? Are you really tired of it?
A string of words escaped from between his teeth.
The content of these components, especially the word "adult".
The two-meter-tall man in black robes named Rōshin was introduced.
He immediately stopped the angry curse that was about to escape his lips!
Seeing that the conflict between the two sides had been stopped, Rōji glared hatefully at his foolish companion.
He then turned his head towards Shimura Danzō and the others!
If this were anywhere else, he would have completely ignored it and let Danzo and the others kill Rōshin at will.
Because he disliked his companion very much, and he also hated the smell.
But as a subordinate with a clear head, he knew exactly what he needed to do!
Looking at Danzo and the others in front of him, he said, "What are you all standing there for? You've drawn your swords, why aren't you charging?"
After saying that, he circulated his Chakra and rushed forward.
The actions of the man in black robes, along with his previous words, reminded Shimura Danzō what was most important at that moment.
So he waved his hand behind him and led his men away from the island and toward the large ship in the middle of the sea!
" Uka, here you go!"
Watching the Blue Chakra Ball disappear just before reaching the Third Gate.
Sekisei Senju quickly took out a Ninja Tool Pouch from his pocket and tossed it to Uka Senju was standing to the side.
This contains all the takeaways from this trip.
As the number one Sealing Jutsu master among the younger generation of the Senju, he had a clear understanding of the current situation.
Regardless of whether they survive, this great haul must be handed over to Uka for safekeeping beforehand.
Even in the worst-case scenario, only Uka among them has the hope of bringing these things back!
Uka Senju caught the Ninja Tool Pouch with a raised hand and immediately positioned the exposed part of her armor to store the items.
These hundreds of Scroll must not be damaged.
Otherwise, the entire Middle Unit would have truly suffered this ambush for nothing!
Just as she finished putting her things down, Uka Senju saw twenty-one people emerge from the reef ahead.
Subconscious Sensory Technique swept over it.
The strength range of these twenty-one people appeared in his mind.
Danzo is a Kage Level ninja, the two black-robed figures are also suspected to Kage Level, and there are eighteen Jonin-level Jonin!
Not counting those behind, the team consisted of Nine, including their own squad.
Uka Senju's mouth involuntarily produced a large amount of saliva!
After he had ascertained the opponent's strength...
The eight people beside them also gradually came to understand the strength of their opponents.
" Uka-kun, we'll hold them off, you go first!"
Inuzuka Furin's soft, sweet voice immediately rang out after she and the Ninja Dog had finished preparing for battle.
She was mentally prepared for the situation at hand.
She already knew the consequences of teaming up with him when she made her choice!
Besides, as long as he can survive, what harm is there in staying here?
But that wedding that has appeared countless times in my dreams—it seems I'm destined never to be one of the main characters!
Nodding in agreement with her friend, Aburame Kaun lips and wearing large sunglasses that covered half her face, smiled and said, "Yes, let's leave. I know you have a way!"
"These guys will suffer as long as you live."
"Only then will we have a chance to avenge ourselves!"
As he spoke, he used all his Chakra to summon the cocoon.
When dozens or even hundreds of black spheres filled the deck behind.
He then took out Military Rations Pill from his Ninja Tool Pouch and popped it into his mouth.
Waterborne combat is something for insect enthusiasts like him.
Very unfriendly!
If he is not adequately prepared, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!
But no matter what, taking one person of the same rank with you is something you absolutely have to do!
Otherwise, how could she possibly uphold the reputation of the Aburame Clan's genius?
A person without a record of victories cannot be considered a strong person!
" Lord Uka, please leave first. We will try our best to buy you enough time."
As the number one Sealing Jutsu master among the younger generation of the Senju clan, Sekisei Senju had already sensed when Uka Senju used that earring.
He was watching Lady Mito make that thing.
He was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable among those present about its functions and uses!
If it weren't for the group of people coming from the front, and only the people from the rear, he would have agreed to let Uka stay and wait for rescue.
However, if the enemy's formation at the front is even more outrageous than that at the rear, then Uka Senju, as the enemy's primary target, should not remain here any longer!
The other two Senju and the three members of a Wood Release Squadron did not speak.
But they all expressed the same attitude!
Listening to the words of the people beside him and the continuous roar of Ninjutsu behind him.
Uka Senju clapped her hands together and said with a smile, "Prepare for the battle carefully. How can you leave without fighting?"
"Don't worry, they can't stop me from leaving if I want to!"
Just like the saying goes, if someone wants to leave, you can't stop them; how could they leave without being confronted?
His loyal subordinates, clansmen, friends, and Fiancée.
The root cause of what these people are experiencing today lies within themselves!
Even if something seems impossible, you must do your best!
Upon hearing this, the others frowned, but knowing Uka's personality, they didn't try to persuade her further.
Inuzuka Furin silently led her Ninja Dog and stood closest to Uka.
The Moku Roku Squad and the Sekisei Senju Squad stepped forward and stood on either side of Uka, continuing their hand movements!
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave
Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves
Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique
Water Release: Water Fang Bullet
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique
A series of Ninjutsu were thrown forward from the hands of the group.
Ignoring her companions' use of Ninjutsu, Uka Senju attacked the enemy to delay and fight.
He reopened the wound on his right thumb.
He pressed his right hand to the ground and summoned a spirit beast to aid him in battle.
Ninja Art: Summoning Technique: Katsuyu Sage
"Bang!"
Black patterns spread across the hull, and a plume of white smoke rose from it!
The blue and white Mole then appeared in the Shinobi World.
However, this time its size was not large.
Because Uka Senju's purpose was not to fight.
" Uka-kun, aren't you leaving yet?"
A gentle female voice rang out, and the Mole, swaying its two tentacles, asked.
Without answering the question, Uka Senju looked at the Mole in front of her and ordered, " Katsuyu Sage, split and go to each of our Ninja!"
Please take on tasks such as communication and treatment!
"Okay!" the gentle female voice rang out again.
Uka did not answer the question; it seemed completely unconcerned!
Upon receiving the call, it immediately began to split and quickly moved towards the friendly Ninja on both sides of the large ship.
Konoha, Land of Fire.
The sun is setting in the west.
The village nestled in the forest below then began to bustle with activity!
This point in time is when people have finished their work or earned money.
So, people who had been busy all day in their respective positions gradually left their workplaces, smiling and chatting.
They walked towards their homes, each in a different direction!
Those with jobs started taking a break, while those without jobs began their time to make money!
So even though it wasn't dark yet, the streets of Konoha were already lit up!
The Senju Clan Compound, the Government Affairs Hall.
The Ninja busy here today are doing the same things as those outside.
Aside from special departments, they also have their daily shift ending!
But when most people had just reached the door...
A piercing alarm suddenly rang out!
"Ta-da!"
In an instant, the sound echoed throughout the entire Senju Clan Compound.
The sound had just been rang out, and the people in the different positions at the Senju were still a little confused for a moment!
But after only a moment of surprise, the members of the Senju Clan quickly realized what was happening.
Those who had reached the door or were about to leave the Government Affairs Hall all returned to their posts as quickly as possible.
They also retrieved spare armor and weapons from their positions and began to put them on.
Inside the residential area, the elderly people who were cooking also returned to their rooms and put on their old, unused equipment!
After they had tidied themselves up, they took the children under the age of 5 to the refuge designated by their Clan.
As for children over 5 years old.
They need to bring their weapons and gather at Senju Square!
Inside the Senju Clan Compound, in a courtyard that was somewhat different from its surroundings.
The Second Elder was dressed in Beige casual clothes, which covered his aged body, and his eyes were completely cloudy.
