On the vast sea, the storm seemed to be tired, and gradually retracted its power, allowing the ship to continue sailing steadily. The sea began to calm down, and a warship sailed through the aftermath of the storm.

In the war boathouse, all the enemy ninjas who had just attacked the girl and his party gathered here.

"Who gave the signal to retreat?" asked a leader-like man, looking at his subordinates standing in separate columns.

"It's me. One of his subordinates stepped out of the standing line, walked out, arched his hand at the leader, and said.

"Scroll in hand, Seven. The leader's only exposed eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Seven.

"Nope. Seven looked at the ringleader's glaring eyes, smiled confidently before he erupted, and said, "But I captured their important person, and I think she is worth a lot more for the scroll, and we can trade her for the scroll." ”

The leader of this group of improvised teams obviously knows what to do, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with sitting in this position, and I am afraid that there are many guys who are thinking about how to grab the credit and replace themselves, and this guy in front of him is obviously one of them. The leader of the seven-digit smile disdainfully, and said with interest, "What about the people you captured, take them out for us to see?"

Seven looked in one direction, and then said generously, "No problem, No. 27, bring someone up." ”

Immediately afterwards, a woman who was trapped tightly was brought up under the attention of everyone, and judging by her appearance, wasn't it the girl who was still on the boat?

Seven took the woman from the 27th and threw her to the ground in front of everyone like a cargo, ignoring the woman's muffled snort of pain. Like a performer looking forward to appreciation, Seven bowed to the crowd and explained his gains, "Everyone, please see. ”

The leader walked over, looked at the girl on the ground, and laughed twice: "You have really made a lot of contributions——"

No. 7 saluted him like a gentleman, bent down and said modestly: "A small merit, not enough to worry about...... Gross!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Seven's body flew out with the spitting filth, and slammed into the wall. At this time, the leader's disdainful accusation came: "This waste! Have your eyes grown to the dog!"

Seven, who was suddenly attacked, crawled to the ground in pain, looked at the leader, and said angrily: "What are you going to do, even if it is a decision from above to make you the leader of this time, but do you think that in this way, you can snatch the merits of others at will!"

Deeply aware that he could not resist the man alone, Seven intends to use his own words to provoke others who are also afraid of being robbed of their merits, and wants to use the strength of everyone to fight against this man together.

The leader snorted disdainfully, and pulled out the kunai to think about the result of the guy in front of him who was still chattering, and an indifferent voice stopped the farce: "Stop, One, when the matter is over, the free man above will deal with that guy." Also, Seven, when you go back, you can get the punishment yourself. ”

No. 7, who was still struggling uglyly, suddenly felt like thunder when he heard this, and the whole world turned gray, and he looked at No. 2 who said this in disbelief, and said like crazy: "What are you talking about, she is the leader of the other party, she is the most important person, and the person and thing that she has been named by the top! Why should I go to receive the punishment for such a great achievement? Are you all blind? I know...... I know...... You guys colluded, you think you can take my credit away from me, ha, haha...... You're naïve, you're naïve! You really think this can take away my ......."

Before he finished speaking, Seven's words were cut off again, but unfortunately this time he couldn't pick up his words again. Looking at the man behind him who had stabbed his throat with kunai with incomprehension and resentment, Seven gradually lost all consciousness.

"Wrong judgment has wiped out the advantage of our surprise attack, and we are still complacent about doing such a stupid thing, such a guy has no value in living, so I will deal with it on my behalf. The man behind Seven spoke chilling words with a deathly calmness, dragging Seven's body slowly into the darkness in the corner, leaving only a long bloodstain in place.

Looking at the uneasy subordinates below, Number Two walked up to the girl who had been lying on the ground without saying a word, and kicked her hard in the chin.

"Bang!"

After a puff of white smoke, there was no girl on the ground, replaced by an unconscious child. Facing the subordinates who suddenly came to their senses, No. 2 said coldly: "It's not a pity that No. 7 made such a big mistake and died, I hope you will take this as a warning and keep your eyes open, I don't want the next 'No. 7' to appear." ”

There were still some people who were upset about No. 7 at this time, and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads with some fear, secretly glad that they didn't stand up to intercede for No. 7, otherwise they would probably be dragged into the water by him.

No. 1 retracted his kunai, and although No. 7 was dead, No. 7's stupidity made the surprise attack come to fruition, and he snorted angrily, "Does anyone know illusions?"

Everyone who was asked shook their heads, which made Number One even more annoyed, and said indignantly, "None of them are useful!"

Annoyed, No. 1 gave the unconscious child a heavy kick, pointed to the child who had woken up in pain, and said, "Drag him down, no matter what method you use, pry out all the information he knows." ”

"Yes!" the two ninjas replied forcefully, lifting the painful curled up child.

"Wait. Number Two spoke out to stop the two who were about to turn away, and said to Number One: "Don't kill it, this kid is not in our information, since it is still worth it to be on the ship, it may be useful to spare his life." ”

"Do as he says. Looking at the two men who remained and looked at him, Number One said to them.

The two ninjas answered again and fled with the child in their hands as if they had been pardoned.

Number One looked at Number Two, who was in charge of making suggestions, and asked, "That waste of Number Seven, if it weren't for him, the scroll would have been in hand a long time ago, and now that we have lost the initiative, what should we do next?"

No. 2 also felt a headache about the current bad situation, pondered and tried to straighten out the situation in front of him, and said his analysis one by one: "No. 7's reckless action made us lose the advantage of sneak attack, and when we retreated before, we had many people left behind in order to break off, and now the combat power of the enemy and us has been basically equal, and I don't know if the other party still has the combat power that is not recorded in the intelligence, and the situation is really not optimistic if we clash head-on with the other side again." ”

One impatiently interrupted his analysis, walked back to his place and said, "I know what you said, do you have any good plans?"

Instead of answering his question, Two asked one of them, "Do you know where they are now?"

The person who was asked shook his head and replied in a voice like a broken gong: "I haven't received any information yet, and the other party is probably aware of it now, I'm afraid that guy is busy protecting himself, hehe." ”

"That's right. Two frowned, not showing any concern for it, just busy thinking about what to do next. Even if he is more than lucky, he can't help but feel troubled by the situation in front of him, and the biggest problem now is not how to defeat the other party, but how to find them in the vast sea. The other side's course will inevitably change after this attack, and without intelligence sources, it is no longer difficult to find a ship that is far from being seen on the vast sea.

No. 2 opened the nautical chart he was carrying, looked at it carefully, pointed to one of the straits, and said, "This is it." ”

Number One leaned over, looked at the strait that Number Two pointed to, and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong here?"

No. 2 pointed to the strait and explained to the unknown people: "As mentioned in the previous intelligence, there is not much food on their ship, and even if the food is halved without people, it can only support less than ten days. The currents in front of this place are complex and constantly changing, and if you take the wrong route, you will get lost in the sea and never go back, so there are only a few routes they can take. As he spoke, No. 2 marked several routes with a pen so that everyone could see more clearly. After everyone had almost digested it, Number Two continued: "Considering their food, it will not be long before the necessary supplies are needed, there are only two routes they can take, but no matter which route they take, this strait is a must for them, and we can wait for the rabbit as long as we arrive first." ”

No. 2's explanation made everyone suddenly realize, but it also made some people even more puzzled. One of them pointed to the points behind him and said, "Why don't you ambush them in these places, isn't it more beneficial for us to say there?"

Number Two put away the chart and put it in his arms, glanced at the man who asked the question, and did not bother to answer.

"Our goal is to capture the scroll before the other party enters the silent route, let's do as the second says, do the others have any questions?" One emphasized their purpose, looked at the people who were still together, and seeing that they had no other questions, he asked them to return to their respective posts.

The man who asked the question earlier was ashamed when he heard No. 1's seemingly intentional or unintentional words, but fortunately he had a face towel to cover his blushing cheeks so that no one could notice it, and immediately left the room as soon as he heard the order to disband.

In another room, Naruto was undergoing his biggest test since his travels......
