Chapter Forty-Three: The Battle in the Corner
Sitting on the deck, the sword shadow glanced at Mike Kay standing at the bow of the ship speechlessly.
Is there a teacher in the world who asks students for money? I guess there is, but it's an emergency, but Mr. Kai, Jian Ying thinks that he has forgotten about the fact that he lent him money now.
Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling it, no longer paying attention to these, the sword shadow sank down, closed his eyes and began to cultivate his spiritual power.
Liu Sheng Jianying's spiritual power is already very strong, in the past year, every time he meets with Teacher Luo Yuanming, the teacher will be very annoying to warn him, asking him to slow down the increase of mental power, and at the same time strengthen the control of mental power.
The fact is indeed as Luo Shenming said, the spiritual power cultivated with the secret technique of the Luo Shen clan is very domineering, and it is difficult to command freely. Yanagi Sword Shadow's control over Chakra is at the top level, if not top-notch. With more control over Chakra, he can do more things, as can be seen from the fact that he goes to the hospital from time to time to help Uncle Kuishan heal the injured ninjas in the hospital.
He dealt with the secret wound left in the ninja's body, and even Kuishan was amazed when he saw it, claiming that in less than half a year, Kenkage's medical ninjutsu would surpass him.
But with such a controlling power, he couldn't suppress the spiritual power cultivated with the Falling Secret Technique.
The huge spiritual power, placed on the body of an ordinary ninja, can perceive the situation within a radius of a few kilometers or even tens of kilometers, but the sword shadow can only expand the distance to 1,500 meters. Even if this achievement is placed in the middle and high level of Konoha, he has already been able to enter the reconnaissance team, but compared with the other aspects of Sword Shadow, it is still his shortcoming.
With the character of the sword shadow, he knows his weaknesses and shortcomings, how can he watch it continue to maintain. Anyway, during this time, I am in a bottleneck period, and putting the breakthrough direction on the control of mental power may bring opportunities to myself.
From here, it can be seen how big the shortcomings of the secret art of the Luo Fall clan are, such conditions limit the ninja who practice the secret art to become extraordinary, all of them have great perseverance and talent, otherwise they can only be ordinary in their lives. If you don't try a fraction of the chance, like the many predecessors who forcibly cultivated this secret art, try to advance at the cost of becoming a vegetative person.
Kenkage couldn't see the possibility of "detachment" in any way, he suspected that there was a limit to this secret technique, and it was rumored that the ancestor of a certain Falling Clan could fight against the Uchiha's kaleidoscope writing wheel, and although he believed it, he insisted that this person must have used some kind of special external power.
When it comes to the level of effort, Sword Shadow thinks that he works harder than nine out of nine, and counting his efforts have always been supported by a shadow clone, which is even more terrifying.
Both parents died in battle, but because they have a money-making mind, their lives are no worse than those of the children of the big family, and they are all surpassed in terms of medicine and nutrition except for life.
In the absence of the external environment, Kenkage, who worked as hard as crazy, only got the comment of "Itachi Uchiha who almost caught up".
This kind of comment did not make the sword shadow fluttering, "almost catching up", to put it bluntly, it was impossible to catch up.
Yanagi Jianying estimated that in addition to his physical skills, he could not catch up with the other party no matter the shuriken throwing technique, the speed of ninjutsu, or the depth of illusion. What is it? This is all-round suppression.
Seeing the real situation, Sword Shadow would not think that that kind of evaluation would be beneficial to him.
I'm not a kid, do you want to use this kind of thing as an inspiration?
The speed of the ship was relatively slow, but in the age of sailing, it was only possible to endure this speed.
In the vast sea, it is the only platform that can guarantee the physical strength of ninjas.
The speed of marching, whether it is this world or the previous one, is crucial.
The endurance of the horse is not as good as that of a human, but at a range of 400 kilometers, it completely overwhelms a man with maneuverability; The speed of the ship is definitely not as good as that of the ninja, but the latter is not as good as the other party in terms of stamina.
Spiritual energy has a close relationship with the soul, and everyone who studies it is careful.
When Sword Shadow shifted his attention and began to focus on exercising control over these growing spiritual powers, it was like a crowbar, flicking the stubborn spiritual energy like a boulder little by little.
In addition to following the advice of Teacher Luo Yuanming and the fact that he needed to make up for his shortcomings, he also did this because he continued to practice the secret arts, and it was difficult to improve his spiritual power, even if it was really growing, its growth rate was to the point that he couldn't perceive it.
This is a fumbling experience, but Yanagi Sword Shadow Soldier doesn't know if if he continues, like "Absolute Zero", will encounter the limit of the rules. Whether it will never be promoted, or break through the shackles and reach another height; Hard work, luck, both.
The ship was still moving on the surface of the sea, and at this time, Jian Ying suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the side of the ship to look out.
Mike Kay, who noticed his movements, walked over and looked to the east.
There was nothing but the undulating sea, so Mike Kay said, "It's too stuffy? ”
"Enemies. Right there, I could feel it. ”
Mike Kay didn't show surprise, "Where?" ”
Yanagi pointed in the direction of thirteen o'clock, "There are six chakras moving a kilometer away, but-" He suddenly jumped onto the mast, stared ahead from a height, jumped down after a dozen seconds, and said to McKay, "Sure enough, these people are moving under the surface of the sea. ”
"Under the sea?" Mike Kay pondered, "That could only be the ninja of the Land of Rain." It's really strange that in recent years, Rain Ninja hasn't come out much to do activities! ”
Jian Ying interjected, "Is it possible to rebel against the ninja?" After all, it's a bit far from the Land of Rain, and it's impossible for their leader not to keep the covenant he made since World War III. ”
Now the country of rain has been controlled by Xiao, and the rain ninja obeys Nagato's orders, if these rain ninjas receive Nagato's orders, then it may be the Xiao organization that will follow.
Sword Shadow didn't know anything about the current events in his head.
In addition, this period is the dormant period of Xiao, and the plan to capture the tailed beast has not yet begun, so it is impossible for the leader of Xiao to affect the plan that has been made for many years for this matter.
“…… It's not impossible. After listening to his words, Mike Kay was also a little unsure, "If it's a traitor, it's too bold." ”
The two were silent, and the sword shadow couldn't tell which force the enemy belonged to.
The other party's latent skills are very similar to those of Yunin, but they don't have the guts; But if it's a ninja from another country, it's most likely a fog ninja, but it's not in the right direction.
Just as they spoke, the other party disappeared into the perception of the sword shadow, although changing the direction of the ship could catch up with them, but the other party was not their purpose, so there was no need.
Compared with the unknown forces that appear here, it's more important to find the sand ninja, anyway, it's for the sand ninja to mischievous, and it's an "ally" with the same purpose.
After nightfall, the two lowered the sails and dropped anchor, preparing to wait for dawn to look for traces of the sand ninja.
Although it is close to the sea, the wind and waves are very strong, especially at night, and the undulating sea rocks the boat from one to another. Even the sword shadow is asleep, not to mention Mike Kay.
The two coincidentally showed signs of seasickness.
This is before the war, they did not use perseverance to support the physiological abnormality, but only adjusted the state, hoping that it would not affect the next day's battle.
In the morning, the sword shadow divided into several shadow clones, centered on the main body, scattered and ran around, through perception, to query the surrounding information as much as possible.
They know the news that the sand ninja dispatched the sealing troops, to a certain extent, the two of them are not worried that the enemy will use other methods to deal with the giant beast, the seal is much easier than the capture, they must have the ability to directly capture the giant beast, the sword shadow estimates, just the son and Mr. Kai, it is better not to provoke the sand ninja.
The two decided to wait for the arrival of the Shinobi's sealing force before entering the target sea with them.
In fact, the Sand Ninja didn't just send sealing troops here, the sealing troops in other directions set off with the frontier ninjas.
It is also the good luck of the sand shinobi here, and the giant shark that was still 100 kilometers away yesterday actually moved towards the coastline of Kawanokuni.
The body of the giant shark is so large and fast that even if it is 100 meters below the sea, when it moves, it still leaves a wake ripple of up to more than ten meters on the surface of the sea.
The bulging surface of the sea resembles a wave, rapidly advancing in the direction of the giant shark's movement.
It is impossible for the sand shinobi to blockade the sea area of hundreds of kilometers even if they are fully prepared, so it is unfortunate that a fishing boat in the country of tea has encountered a giant shark.
Nakamura stands on the deck, inspecting the nets and preparing for the next catch.
There are ten people on the fishing boat, four of them are still sleeping in the cabin because they were on duty last night, if the next harvest is not big, those people can continue to sleep, if there is a big harvest, I'm sorry, no matter how tired you are, you have to get up to help, and after this trip, you can go back to port, and end the swaying life at sea.
"Nakamura, are the nets ready?" A man with an upper body walked from the other side of the boat, he hated the calm sea, and what he was most looking forward to was the sight of the fish turning, jumping, and churning the sea, and all he saw on the days when there was no harvest was despair. "It's been two days, and if I don't receive the goods, I'll have to go back tomorrow at the latest."
What the other party was thinking about was also what he was worried about, Nakamura sighed and said, "Don't be discouraged, maybe there will be a big harvest in the next net!" ”
Dahan snorted, I heard this kind of talk a lot, and it was difficult to build up self-confidence for myself.
“…… What is that? The big man, who was about to come over to collect the nets with Nakamura, suddenly stopped, and he was lying on the side of the boat staring into the distance.
Dahan's actions attracted Nakamura's attention, and he carefully put away the sorted fishing nets and came to Dahan's side. "Wellside, what are you looking at? That's ......"
A wave much higher than the surface of the sea was rapidly approaching them, and the surging waves were distributed in a formation of geese from the sky, with the highest and most advanced waves in the middle, and the wings slowed down and decreased in height.
And right in front of Nakamura's fishing boat is the middle part, and it is also the fastest part.
"Hurry ......up," Nakamura suddenly shouted, and ran to the rudder, hoping that a miracle would cause the ship to change direction and avoid collision with each other.
The big man named Ibbe stood still, then turned to look at Nakamura in vain, and then turned his head to look at the nearby sea wall. "It's too fast!"
"Boom-"
The sea wall more than 10 meters high collides with an old fishing boat at a speed of dozens of kilometers per hour, disintegrating the boat in an instant and turning it into wooden parts in mid-air.
The plank on the side of the ship was instantly destroyed by the water pressure, and it slapped directly on the side of the well, and the strong man was flesh and blood after all, he was like being hit by a boulder, the flesh and blood began to twist, the bones began to shatter, and as the whole wall of the sea pressed on him, the shattered shell suddenly turned into flesh and mud, and was drowned by the waves.
A few kilometers away from the scene of the tragedy, a masked ninja appeared on the surface of the sea, his hands sealed, his ring finger and thumb clasped, and then his body quickly melted like ice cream and became part of the sea.
Just thirteen kilometers away from the fishing boat, the ships controlled by the Kirist Shinobi assassination force were patrolling, and they did not dare to continue to approach the mainland, nor did they dare to recklessly drive towards the identified gathering place of the Sand Shinobi.
Since you have come to sabotage other people's plans, you have to be the last to intervene.
When the mist ninja turned into water, the sentient ninja who belonged to the assassination force suddenly got up and gave a report on what he had gotten.
"Oh. What Shinobi wants to catch is actually near us? ”
"Fourteen kilometers away, I should say."
"My lord, shall we go over?"
The commander of the assassination unit was silent for a few seconds, then made a judgment and said, "What can we do in the past." Don't forget what we learned, the psychic beast was able to escape from the siege of the sand ninja. There are only four of us, and even if we can kill it, it will be a terrible price, and once our deeds are mastered by Konoha or Sand Shinobi, it will be extremely bad for the village. ”
Konoha and Sand Shinobi form an alliance, even if they are inconsistent, once a third party forces intervene in their sphere of influence, they will inevitably unite to besiege them.
The commander of the assassination force who understood this decisively gave up the tempting plan, in the final analysis, it was still his own strength that was insufficient, otherwise, why should they care about the situation in the ninja world on the mainland.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Yanagi Jianying suddenly spoke: "Teacher." Discovered the sealing force of the sand ninja. ”
Previously, his pupils suddenly shrank, which was the situation when the memory carried by the doppelganger and the fatigue of the body returned after the shadow clone was lifted, but because of the blood essence stone, the doppelganger's physical condition was very good, and the only thing to consider was the impact of the memory itself on the brain.
Mike Kay jumped onto the deck and asked forcefully, "Where is it?" ”
"Ten people. At twelve o'clock, they were rushing towards ten o'clock, and they were already at sea, and I didn't dare to get too close, and I didn't know where to go for the time being. ”
"Ten o'clock?" Mike Kay looked at the direction, recalled the map, and said in surprise: "It's already open to sea." Did they come running? ”
"Huh?" The brain suddenly came to a standstill, but then recovered, and Jian Ying patted his forehead in distress, "It's running over." It seems that the scale of that direction should not be small. ”
"Anyway, keep up with them, you can hold on." Mike Kay is not a sentient ninja, this is the sea, and the hidden skills cannot be used.
"Give it a try. My perception is too close. "Although this perception ability is almost comparable to that of a white eye in judging the enemy's position, and there are no blind spots, the limitation of distance makes it much more palpable.
Many shadow clones worked together, the anchor was raised, the sails were full, and after adjusting the direction, Sword Shadow and Kai followed the Sand Shinobi Seal Force forward.
He just discovered that the shadow clone of the Sand Ninja Sealing Force was not directly lifted, and after he separated another clone, he passed the news to the main body and other shadow clones by disarming this newly appeared clone.
Here, the Sword Shadow Body also used this direction to tell the rest of the clones about themselves and Mike Kay's intentions, so that dozens of shadow clones purposefully adjusted their direction and slowly followed the enemy.
Thirty kilometers away from the fishing boat where Sword Shadow was, several jumping figures disappeared in the undulating waves.
"Ding-ding-"
Blocking the enemy's attack, Shinobu opened his weapon, the giant fan.
Wind Escape: Scythe.
The rapid wind creates water streaks, which reduce the speed and range of the attack, but also affect the enemy's vision, and in an environment full of water mist, you can only rely on instinct to avoid attacks.
But not everyone can play their instincts, "uh-ah", the dodging ninja let out a scream in the air, and the bright red sea water smashed into the sea, and in a moment it merged into the sea, leaving only a terrible corpse cut by the wind blade floating on it, and the sea mixed with blood was like a blooming flower around him.
"Stay." Another sand ninja took advantage of the enemy's negligence when he was killed by his companion, and suddenly sent out a bamboo tube, and without waiting for the other party to come back to his senses, the bamboo tube that had been opened and covered continuously shot out almost transparent steel needles.
No matter how much the attacked ninja dodged, half of the steel needles still fell on him.
These needles are short and slender, and if they don't shine brightly in the sun, it's almost impossible to forget the past.
"This ...... Is this poison? You—" The attack didn't hit the deadly part, but the poison on the needle killed the man.
Seeing the enemy fall and sink into the sea, Shinobu turned around and rushed to his companions to help.
Dealing with ninjas in small countries that are not famous, the ninja villages of the five major countries have never been soft, and the era of ninja melee is over, but the competition between ninjas will not disappear, although this competition has evolved from the family clan to the ninja village as a unit, but its cruelty has never diminished.
A few minutes later, none of the seven sand ninja were injured, but they were slightly tired after fighting for a long time.
"My lord, are we still going to make rounds?" The sand ninja who spoke was splashed with blood, and it has been two days since he came out this time, although treading water is the most basic skill of a ninja, he can maintain chakra for dozens of hours in a row, and he has also fought twice, even if he is about to become an elite ninja, he feels unbearable.
When he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the remaining ninjas.
As the commander of the squadron, the ninja, who was nearly forty years old, didn't think about it and said directly: "I thought I could maintain a secret, but now it seems that it is difficult to do." Since everyone is tired, let's go back. I reported on this mission, and I took a break. ”
His words made several young men in the team smile, they really wanted to rest, unlike the other shark hunting companions, in order not to be disturbed by other powers, they had to use speed to make up for the lack of manpower, which caused them not to take the slower boat, but to rely on their legs to weave a defensive net for their comrades.
