Chapter 124: Operation Landing on the Island
On the surface of the sea, a hundred people dressed as ninjas sat cross-legged on the sea, and beside them, a half-human-high scroll stood up, like an antenna, and began to conduct chakras in the distance.
Around them, although the sea was calm, the bottom of the sea was churning for no reason, and wave after wave rushed towards the coast of the country of waves.
Such a large-scale water escape ninjutsu is difficult to maintain by personal strength alone, gathering hundreds of ninjas, and then cooperating with the scroll props that burn high-level water escape ninjutsu, it can barely be used, but compared to the real natural disaster, it is still too far away.
However, their goal is not to completely destroy the coast of the Wave Country, but only to destroy a specific area designated above.
Assassination, destruction, as long as the forces of the Oni Country are driven out of the territory of the Wave Country, then, no matter what the means, it is worth trying.
Just as they were stabilizing the large-scale water escape ninjutsu, suddenly, a huge and narrow shadow suddenly emerged from the sea, and without warning, this shadow became bigger and bigger, as if a huge sea beast lurking in the deep sea, and now it was going to the surface of the sea to breathe a breath of fresh air.
The huge shadow threw its tail out of the sea with a bang, lifting a wall of water more than ten meters high, squeezing out to both sides, causing the waves to surge violently.
"Ahh
There was no time to defend, and more than a dozen ninjas were suddenly overwhelmed by the wall of water and swept into the sea.
Then, the hideous giant mouth, which had been waiting under the sea for a long time, glowed in the sea water with blood-red eyes, tore open the big mouth, and swallowed several ninjas who were caught in the sea water in one bite.
"W-What is this!?"
All the ninjas were forced to interrupt their ninjutsu performances, looking at the huge sea beasts that appeared in the sea area, they didn't even see their bodies, but the unparalleled destructive power was obviously not something that ordinary ninjas could deal with.
There was no response, and the sound of the sea churning sounded in the ears of every ninja, and the face turned pale to look at the feet, and the shadow resurfaced.
The same moves, but they didn't have time to escape from the attack.
Under the action of a huge force, the body flew in the sky in pain, and blood spurted from the mouth.
At this time, they finally saw clearly what the monster that attacked them was.
An exaggeratedly large python.
Its eyes were already larger than a human body, and its mouth was wide enough to swallow several adults in one gulp.
Its body is not made of flesh and blood, but of blue flowing matter.
It is the water attribute doppelganger of the white stone, the water dragon god.
In the waters, its capabilities are enhanced by leaps and bounds.
Its huge and incomparably large body gave these ninjas a terrifying pressure, and cold sweat broke out on their faces.
In the face of such monsters, do they really have a chance of victory?
But the thought of the consequences of the failure of the mission must have made their 'masters' very angry.
Ignoring the complicated thoughts of these ninjas, the water dragon god directly swam his body and began the next round of charge.
In the water, it is very difficult to outperform a python in speed.
What's more, although the water dragon god has the swimming characteristics of a snake, his body that combines chakra and natural energy is superior to the wild python in terms of performance.
Therefore, before the ninja's confidence could be gathered, they were crushed by the water dragon god.
As fast as a whirlwind, with a sweep of the tail, the nearest ninja was swept out, and under the fierce tail sweep, those ninjas who were sent out were already blurred with flesh and blood on the front of their bodies, and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Subsequently, the water dragon god activated the chakra inside the body, and the blue translucent body immediately bloomed with brilliant light, and the scarlet snake pupils became brighter and brighter, full of bloodthirsty color.
"Chakra...... Chakra is absorbed! β
The ninjas reacted, and standing on the seawater, they suddenly realized that the chakra in their bodies was rapidly flowing out of their bodies.
Chakra is the foundation that ninjas use to fight, and if there is no such foundation, then it is meaningless to master no matter how strong the physical arts, ninjutsu and illusion are.
Powerful physical arts, ninjutsu, and illusions are all based on chakra for release.
The water dragon god with the ability to absorb chakra is undoubtedly a nightmare-level existence for most ninjas who have no ability to resist.
And then, in the face of this group of ninjas who have lost most of their chakra, it is just a simple hunt.
β
"The impulse of the sea has weakened?"
Sensing the impact of the seawater, it seems to have weakened a lot compared to what it was just now.
Although the workers are not quite sure what is going on, it is undoubtedly a cause for joy.
In the safe zone, Kazuhime and several Oni no Kuni ninjas stood there, watching the workers try to plug the gap in the dam, their posture was embarrassed, but their faces were no longer as pale and frightened as they were at the beginning.
The ninjas of the Oni Country were in charge of the deployment of the disaster area, and they were not officials from the country of waves, nor did they cause a backlash from the workers of the country of waves.
After all, under the deployment of the ninjas of the Oni Country, their work has also become orderly, not brainless panic and overwhelmed.
"Factories and farmlands have been partially affected."
Kazuhime looked at the coastal roads that had been washed away by the sea, many of which had flowed into the base of the factory, and some farmers' fields had also been eroded by the sea, making many farmers look sad.
"I'm sorry, Miss."
The Oni no Kuni, who is in charge of this area, looked ashamed.
"It doesn't matter, no one would have thought that they would use this method to destroy our roots in the Land of Waves."
Kazuhime said calmly.
But those who knew her well knew that she was already angry, but they didn't show it.
"I'm sorry."
The Oni no Kuni Shinobu is still apologizing.
"I'll report this to headquarters, I need next instructions."
If it was just a simple assassination, Kazuhime was not afraid of such a method.
But if on the basis of assassination, it is also supplemented by sabotage work, and Yiji feels that it is better to wait like this, it is better to take the initiative.
Next time, she didn't know what kind of means the other party would take to destroy the factory that had not yet been built.
"Yes."
The country of ghosts shinobi responded.
"Miss."
There was a wheezing sound from behind, and Ichihime turned around and saw Cardo running over panting, and the other party's face was a little pale after strenuous exercise.
He's not a ninja, and by the time he arrived, things were basically over here.
"Miss, what's the situation here?"
Cardo asked in a voice as he looked at the messy land below that had been hit by the sea.
"It's stabilized, you don't have to come in person."
Kazuhime said.
Cardo is not a ninja, he has almost zero role in coming here, and in the process of coming, without sufficient power protection, it is easy to be assassinated.
"The factory is very important to us, and I am one of the people in charge, so I can't help but come."
Cardo said.
"Next, I want to take the initiative, what do you think?"
Kazuhime's gaze swept to Cardo.
"Uh...... Won't this startle the snake? And on the side of Lord Shiraishi, it seems that it is not time yet. β
Cardo's face hesitated.
"When is the time?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Forget it, I don't need you, I'll talk to the old man in person later."
"Yes. However, it is better not to have expectations on the Miss, as the headquarters has a more powerful intelligence system, and it will definitely be more thoughtful than our side of the operation. β
Cardo could only nod helplessly.
As he spoke, Cardo began to change the subject, pointing to a person below and saying, "By the way, Miss, please pay attention to that person." β
Ichihime was in a depressed mood, but she also looked in the direction where Cardo was pointing and saw an adult man, who was ordinary in all aspects, but the cross scar on his chin was quite iconic.
"Is he?"
"Fisherman Kesha."
"What's notable about him?"
"He's a member of the workers' cooperative, and based on my research, he's probably a good fit."
Hearing Cado say this, Kazuhime raised her eyebrows and looked at the fisherman named 'Kaisha' seriously.
I also noticed this person before, and the other party was the only ordinary person who dared to act with the ninjas of the Oni Country at the most critical time.
Originally, I thought it was just a bit of guts, but now that I look at it, it doesn't seem so simple.
"Then let's go meet him after that."
Kazuhime nodded, then turned and left.
β
After receiving the information transmitted back from the country of waves, in the middle of the castle tower, the daimyo of the country of fire, who had gathered a group of important ministers of the country of fire, had a gloomy face.
"Why would these idiots advocate such a thing?"
In the face of the daimyo's anger, the important ministers were also silent, and they also knew the information, but they still felt worried about the pattern of the isolated island merchants.
You must know that the most dangerous arrangement of the country of ghosts in the country of waves is not the factory, but the workers' cooperatives.
If that organization persists, the country of waves is at potential risk of civil war.
However, the alliance of merchants on the isolated island ignored their orders and carried out assassinations and sabotage of factories...... Sure enough, it's still the thinking of a businessman.
Such a guy who wants to establish a 'country' in the country of waves will soon be finished.
However, it is precisely because of these people's blindness that they will use the country of waves as bait and then implement the annexation plan.
But now because of these people's eyes, the country of ghosts will definitely retaliate next.
If both sides continue to carry out such acts of assassination and sabotage, it will cause chaos in the country of waves.
The Land of Rain is already in chaos, and if the Land of Waves continues to be in chaos...... The ministers shook their heads helplessly.
"Fortunately, the country of ghosts didn't come with it, it seems that their arrangements have not been completed yet, so I don't plan to disturb the situation in the country of waves now."
At the end of reading the information, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire found that the forces of the Oni Country stationed in the territory of the country of waves held back, which made the Daimyo of the Land of Fire breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency, you can't let this group of merchants come around, if they don't act according to the instructions, they will only provoke the country of ghosts and lead to even greater trouble."
"Yes, dealing with affairs between countries with the eyes of a businessman, these people's problems are too serious."
They had already provided political assistance through the Daimyo of the Land of Waves, but the alliance of merchants on the isolated island had ignored this and continued to assassinate and sabotage them, leaving them speechless.
"But if you want to replace it...... It's not that easy to do. β
Although it maintains a cooperative relationship with the Merchant Alliance of the Lonely Island, the Merchant Alliance of the Lonely Island clearly has its own set of practices and does not act exactly according to the will of the Fire Nation.
If there is no intervention of the Oni Country, whether it is the Land of Waves or the Lonely Island, it will only become an appendage of the Fire Country in the end.
However, now that the country of ghosts is involved, it is the biggest problem.
The plan to annex the country of waves and the island has been delayed, and it is even necessary to stabilize these people and fight against the country of ghosts.
However, in the eyes of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, assassination and sabotage were all tactics that could only be used as a last resort.
And the more this kind of thing is done, the bigger the handle falls.
Even if these businessmen have the idea of founding a country, they are still businessmen in essence.
What comes out of my head is still the businessman's set of interest thinking.
With the Five Shadows Conference a few months ago, the actions of the Ghost Country have gradually shifted from the back to the surface. That's the transformation.
Intrigue and intrigue are small ways after all.
If you are quick for a while, you will lose more in the end.
"If we don't do that, when the country of ghosts really strikes, our side will be very passive."
After hearing this, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation also frowned in distress.
With the indiscriminate operation of the Lonely Island Merchant Alliance, he now wants to prepare Konoha for war.
However, on the side of the Land of Rain, he couldn't rest assured.
The resistance of Yuyin Village and those militias was even stronger than he expected.
Because of this, the workers' and people's cooperatives founded by the Oni no Kuni in the Land of Waves are the ultimate source of danger.
Infiltrating the bottom to carry out activities, this is a way that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation has never seen before.
Because the people at the bottom mean that they will be completely dominated by the top.
But now the country of ghosts is using technology to gradually break the balance of power between the bottom and the top......
Sometimes, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire also wonders what exactly the Land of Oni wants to do?
What do they get by doing so?
What is the benefit of doing this for the country of ghosts?
Do you just want to pull the Fire Country down so that you can put yourself in power?
The Land of Oni has not yet been recognized as the sixth great power, but it already has the potential to become the sixth great power.
The allure of being a great power is unimaginable to the country of ghosts.
If so, what's next for the land of ghosts?
Continue to expand the civil war in the Land of Rain, involve more countries, and quickly infiltrate the Land of Waves, in order to test the Land of Fire, or is there another plan behind the scenes?
No matter how you guess, it seems to lack a persuasive force.
At this moment, a ninja walked into the castle tower, knelt down on one knee, and reported to the Fire Nation high-level executives:
"Daimyo-sama, this is an urgent report from the Land of Rain."
Land of Rain? Urgent?
How is it the land of rain again?
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
He hadn't figured out the countermeasures of the country of waves yet, and the country of rain seemed to have a new change now, which caught him off guard.
Taking the scroll presented by the ninja, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire quickly skimmed through it, his eyes immediately flashed, and there was a message on it-
The Land of Earth has withdrawn from the Land of Rain.
β
The interior of the dome-like building, the ninja fighting arena.
Countless wealthy businessmen gathered here, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
In the gladiatorial arena used for fighting, two ninjas are fiercely fighting together.
This is the 32nd game of today.
The rich and colorful moves of the ninjas made the rich merchants still feel dazzled and unfinished when they saw this.
And in order to adjust the atmosphere well, the wealthy merchants began to bet constantly, gambling with the ninja's victory or defeat.
If the battle is won, the ninja who is the victor will be fine.
If it fails, then the merchant who bets on the loss will let the failed ninja try the taste of life rather than death.
It is a paradise for the powerful, rich enough to make anyone give up their dignity and serve them, not even ninjas.
Involved in the gambling are also smuggled bankrupts, who try to bet on the battle, fantasizing about getting rich overnight. If you fail, you will fall to the bottom and never turn over.
"Water Escape, Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
With a ninja's hands sealed, while the opponent was dodging, he immediately used a high-level water escape technique.
In the waterless gladiatorial arena, a huge water dragon condensed and weighed heavily on the body of the enemy ninja.
"Ahh
The screams, the cheers in the audience, and the beating and scolding all mixed together in an instant.
If it weren't for the staff of the venue to stop him, it is estimated that the businessman who lost the bet would directly rush to the stage and beat the ninja who lost the game to death with his fists.
Seeing that he had lost the competition, the ninja's face immediately showed a look of despair.
"Wait, I'm still able to fight, please give me another chance, please!"
As he spoke, he knelt down and begged the wealthy merchants in the audience for forgiveness.
Then he received an extremely cold gaze, which made him even more desperate.
"Drag him down and give him a new master!"
The master of ceremonies straightened the tie on his formal attire, and he has always been merciless to losers.
According to the rules, the ninja who loses, along with the life, also loses to the master of the opposing ninja.
Therefore, even if there are many wealthy businessmen who want him to die, the life and death of the other party are already in the hands of the new master.
Such a provision is not allowed to be broken.
"So, starting today's thirty-third match, the ninjas on both sides who will fight next are-"
However, the referee and master of ceremonies were only halfway through his words and stopped.
It was a huge impact that shook the entire island, and the dome-like gladiatorial arena trembled violently, and even fell a large amount of rubble and dust.
Even the sturdy gladiatorial arena was somewhat unable to withstand a sudden earthquake.
βοΌβ
The referee and the wealthy businessman in the audience were all silent for an instant, looked up overhead, and found that only the huge chandelier was placed there, and other than that, there was no movement anymore.
Just when they couldn't figure out the ins and outs of the matter, boom-
A huge explosion sounded directly in their ears this time.
The passage of the safety exit was subjected to some kind of strong impact, and a huge hole was expanded.
The terrifying thunderstorm swept up more than a dozen ninjas, flew upside down from the passage, and smashed down on the gladiatorial arena, wailing incessantly.
The referee and master of ceremonies froze in place.
What's going on?
Why are the ninja bodyguards from the gladiatorial arena here?
"Today is a rare event, ladies and gentlemen."
The sound of chuckling appeared from the hole-like passageway, and two figures slowly stepped out of the shadows and appeared in everyone's sight.
One of them was wearing a white coat characteristic of medical personnel, and the other was a strong, dark-skinned man with a strong body, his upper body was naked, and his whole body was shrouded in thunder and lightning, and the dense thunder and lightning penetrated the air, making the atmosphere here suddenly solemn.
It was Shiraishi and the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
"Who are you? Get them worn! β
The referee master of ceremonies felt the contempt and immediately commanded the bodyguards around the venue, rushing towards Shiraishi and the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
Shiraishi and the four generations of Thunder Shadow stood there, all unmoved.
"Thunder Escape, Black Spot!"
The roar of the beast resounded in the air.
Pitch-black leopard-shaped lightning leaped out from behind Shiraishi and the four generations of thunder shadows, instantly knocking one ninja into the air, and then, the pitch-black thunder leopard turned into a black torrent of thunder and lightning, and arranged a black thunder net around it to intercept the attack of the rest of the ninjas.
"Ahh
The screams continued, and all the ninjas who were struck by the black lightning fell down, falling to the ground and convulsing, their eyes white.
"Is the third generation of Thunder Shadow's Black Thunder Escape? But there is something unique. β
Shiraishi made such an evaluation when he saw the thunder escape that killed the ninja who rushed up with a single blow.
"This is really unbelievable, compared to the three generations of adults, my Black Thunder Escape still has a lot of improvements."
Darui lazily stepped out of the shadows and appeared behind the four generations of Thunder Shadows. Along with him, there was also Kamishinobi, who was also a guard.
Behind Bai Shi, the two clones of Tianyu Nu and Chizi also began to take place.
"You, you are ......"
In the audience, someone recognized the identities of Shiraishi and the four generations of Thunder Shadows.
After all, he is the top ninja in the ninja world, and his appearance is naturally well-known to business people.
Many times, they need to rely on the power of ninjas to get things done.
"It's sudden, but this isolated island, from now on, will be taken over by us."
Shiraishi stepped forward and said to the merchants present with a smile.
"W-What!?"
Before they could react, a group of people emerged again from the passage in the rear.
They are the military ninja troops of the Oni no Country, and the ninja troops of Yunyin Village.
They were scattered all over the gladiatorial arena, taking up arms and pointing them at these merchants, making them feel the fear of death at once.
"Wait, there's nothing that the law can't touchβ"
Poof!
Kunai pierced the merchant's arm, causing him to howl like a pig, bleeding there.
After such a hand, no one dared to speak, and everyone was silent.
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow touched his fist, and his whole body burst into lightning, and he took a step forward.
"From now on, we are the law here! Darui, arrest all these people and wait for them to be released! β
"Okay, boss."
With his hands behind his head, Darui lazily stepped forward and began to issue orders to all the wealthy merchants in the Colosseum:
"Okay, everyone, now please hold your heads in your hands, don't be crowded and noisy, and leave the venue in an orderly manner. If you do not obey the order, I can provide electrotherapy services free of charge. Do what you say. β
Pale blue lightning pulsed in Darui's eyes, and the threat was self-evident.
