Chapter 216: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

"This matter, it should have nothing to do with us, Mizuki, let the fog ninja deal with it, if it doesn't work, we'll help again......"

Kakashi replied with a shake of his head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What, what did you find?"

"Kirishinobu ran so far to greet him, it was really too enthusiastic. That Shinobu Aogami, saying that he was welcoming us, in fact, in my opinion, it was probably just a chance encounter. ”

"Chance encounter?" Mizuki thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense, our face is not big enough to require them to come all the way to the vast sea to greet us, and it is very difficult to find us, it is an exaggeration to say that it is a needle in a haystack, but it is too difficult to find a specific ship and person on the empty sea." ”

As he was talking, not far from the side of the ship, a huge black shadow suddenly surfaced, and then, several figures shot out, suddenly appeared from the bottom of the water, and divided into two groups of people and horses to confront each other. On one side was the mist ninja leader Qing and his three subordinates, and on the other side, the three people, all wearing strange animal masks, showed a scratched mist ninja forehead on their foreheads, and then steadily landed on the behemoth that was half-surfaced.

"Traitor?" Such an obvious situation indicates that this encounter is likely to be a "family matter" in the Fog Hidden Village, and Konoha and the others are just accidentally getting into trouble.

"Sure enough, that Qing didn't tell the truth, it was just a coincidence that he met us, and then sold someone by the way. Kakashi was sure of his judgment.

Mizuki said, "So what? You still want to demolish them, so what's in it for us? Just pretend not to know about each other's face?"

Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"Now it seems that the problems within the Fog Hidden Village are far from being completely solved, and there are many things to do for the fifth generation of Mizukage?"

"Those masked guys, are they the shadows? Their psychic beast, that giant fish-like monster, is a mutated humpback whale?"

"Probably it's okay, but none of that matters......" Kakashi took out a small notebook and kept jotting down some things, and when he was done, he put it back in his arms.

"The motives for their attacks are puzzling. Is there a lot of benefit for a ninja on a passenger ship bound for the land of water? Many of the things on it are goods and of no use to the ninja at all. ”

"Kakashi, sometimes conflict doesn't have to be about getting something. "Kakashi Hachiki is really not very good at grasping people's hearts," we can not care about the origin of these attackers, but we can guess a thing or two about their actions. When the new Mizukage takes office, there are bound to be frustrated people and speculators who fish in troubled waters to take advantage of this chaotic time to do something. Such an attack is likely to be an indiscriminate attack on the fleets and personnel of the Water Nation and other countries. ”

"No difference?" Kakashi asked, frowning. "What's in it for these opponents who are dissatisfied with the new Mizukage?"

"Benefits?" Mizuki smiled, "There is no need for benefits, it is enough to make it difficult for the fifth generation of Mizukage Terumi to deal with, and if the channel of communication is completely cut off, it will face an extremely difficult situation for the resource-poor water country, and it is very difficult to say whether Terumi Ming, who cannot maintain order and authority, can sit in the position of Mizukage safely." ”

"That's right. "Kakasilo understood what Mizuki meant after thinking about it, this kind of suspected organized terrorist attack is the biggest test for a new leader, the team led by Shinobi Murakami is likely to be a standing patrol on the waterway route, and it happened to run into Konoha ninjas during the mission.

While Mizuki and Kakashi Hachiki were communicating, the battle on the sea not far away was also coming to an end.

"In this environment, it is still more handy for the fog ninja. ”

"yes. ”

The geographical advantage is too obvious, if Mizuki and Kakashi go all out, they have the ability to sweep away the team below, but this is definitely not that the other side is very weak, but under the absolute weakness of strength, they are just crushed, and when the difference in strength is not big, it is still very disadvantageous to Kakashi and Mizuki.

Seeing that the battle was about to end, Kakashi breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to Mizuki and asked, "How do you feel about yesterday's battle, plus today." ”

Mizuki thought for a moment, sorted out the wording a little and replied, "The fighting style of the Kiri Shinobi is very problematic, how to say it, the concept is very different. ”

"Let's be specific!" Kakashi was also interested in Mizuki's insights. "I've also fought with the Misty Shinobi many times, and in the Land of Waves, one of the Seven Ninja Swords, the peach land doesn't kill you, you know, although I also have some feelings, but I just don't know how to say it. ”

The shinobi were also interested in the topic of this kind of battle, and they gathered around to hear Mizuki's "Takami".

Mizuki cleared his throat and said, "The difference in the fighting style of the Kirishi Shinobi is mainly reflected in the purpose of the battle. This difference will be obvious when you see it too much. The type that is proficient in infiltration and assassination on the continent is actually quite rare, but there are a large number of them in Fog Hidden Village. This is most likely due to the Fog Hidden Village's geographical isolation and ninja selection policy. To sum it up in one sentence, that is: Fog Shinobi is very ancient. ”

"Antique. Kakashi muttered a repetition of the word, as if he had a slight understanding.

"That's right, archaic. Mizuki explained, "The origin of ninjas may not have been noticed by everyone, chakra is not a thing that existed from the beginning, and the history of ninjas is longer than chakra." Before the appearance of Chakra, in addition to the frontal combat effectiveness, the characteristics were actually quite close to the fog ninja, lurking and assassinating, and completing tasks by unscrupulous means. ”

The word "unscrupulous?" made a group of shinobi who had always been proud of their ninja status very uncomfortable.

"Ninja, from the day of its birth, was not a bright profession, and at the beginning it was just a tool for the big people to deal with private things. It was despised and ostracized by other combat professions that it was not until the advent of the chakra that this phenomenon was reversed. ”

Kakashi interjected and asked, "So, what you're trying to say is that the Mist Ninja have largely inherited this ninja style and custom that has been passed down from ancient times, and in the era of ninjas on the continent who are changing with each passing day, these Mist Ninja haven't actually abandoned the old traditions?"

"That's right. Mizuki confirmed, "You can get a glimpse of the history and fighting style of the Fog Hidden Village. ”

"I see. Kakashi suddenly realized, "No wonder I think that the Kirist ninja are a lot unruly, and their fighting style is very utilitarian and solipsistic, because their philosophy is very different from the mainstream of the ninja world." ”
