Chapter 35 Fate hangs by a thread
The sky is slightly bright.
The harbor whistle was incessant, and the big ships started their steam engines and hoisted their sails out to sea.
Finally, when the target ship departed, Ape Wyveryuchi jumped off the roof of the house, and with the members of the third squad, the only bit of darkness left before the sun rose, ran all the way to the water as fast as he could, sucking it into the side of the hull like barnacles.
Because of the angle, even if the people on the boat poked out half of their heads, they couldn't see the three of them.
Half of their bodies are hidden underwater, making it difficult for people elsewhere to detect them.
After the ship was out to sea for some distance, the four of them sneaked aboard the boat along the stern and quietly dealt with the two braggart crew members.
Then, Kakashi and Hara Heiyuki walked to the side.
The ape flying dragon took the corner of Suwon to the other side.
Anyway, the ship is so big, and it is already on the target ship, it is not a separate operation, and it is said that the captain's room will gather after solving everyone, if the four of them are together, the target is too big, and the efficiency of cleaning up the enemy is too low.
Soon, the dozen or so crew members who were on the deck were all lying on the ground.
Because the ship is nominally a cargo ship, there is cargo on the deck.
Kakashi and Saruwyveri checked them one by one, confirming that most of them contained wholesale snacks and some wood products, that no one was locked inside, and that the captain and crew were basically ordinary people.
The four of them meet in the captain's room, and it is decided that Kazukushi Mizuhara and Heiyuki Hara will watch the captain and supervise him to turn around and go to another port in the Land of Fire, while Sarutobi and Kakashi go down to the cabin to rescue the kidnapped children......
At this point, the four of them did not know that their every move was under the watchful eyes of others......
……
Hinata Yunchuan had his hands tied behind his back.
He was the only one in the entire cabin.
But there were not only thirty crew members, eighty children, and a ninja team that did not carry anything that could be identified, a total of six people, but Hinata Yunchuan confirmed the identity of the other party from the moment he got on the ship.
…… Ninja of the Fog Hidden Village.
That decapitating knife was too conspicuous.
Moreover, there are estimated two members of the seven-person ninja knife in this six-person team, and a thin man who has been wrapped in a bandage around his face and wears a mask, his "knife" is a steel needle with a length of one meter and three diameters of two centimeters, and the tail of the needle can also pierce a steel wire.
So, he just wanted to be honest and wait for the ship to come to shore.
I didn't even dare to look at it a few more times, for fear of being noticed by them.
Then, Ape Wyverine sent the third shift to the door and launched an attack on the crew, and the six people in the cabin had been aware of it since the third shift boarded the ship, but for some reason did not stop the third shift from attacking the crew......
This feeling is a trap~
However, Hinata Yunchuan couldn't remind them again.
There are only two layers of wooden partitions between the cabin where the Fog Hidden Ninja team rests, and it feels like it will be discovered if you break free of the rope a little, so you can only watch the four of you get on board for your own life.
If nothing had been done, there would have been a real chance that the third shift would have been wiped out on this ship......
Finally, as soon as Kakashi and Saruwyuryu entered the cabin, the six ninjas next to them also moved.
……
"That kid stays, and everyone else kills them."
A man wearing the same mask as the Shadows stood up and issued orders to the others.
The thin man on the side pursed his lips.
"Cut~"
"If that kid dies, that's the end of our cooperation."
"Okay, I'm not going to let him die, but he's hurt a little ......"
"Don't go overboard."
"Assert ......"
……
……
"It's too quiet, Sensei~"
Kakashi pricked up his ears, a hint of foreboding in his heart.
Ape Feilong also cheered up the spirit of twelve.
The boat is not particularly large, and the internal cabins have three levels.
The first floor is a small symmetrical cabin on both sides, with a small circular window on the door, and from the outside you can see the beds and bedding, which is obviously the crew quarters, and some of the crew members who are sleeping.
Sarutobi and Kakashi didn't alarm the people and went straight to the next floor.
The corridor on the second floor was much shorter, as if it had been cut off by a door, and the two of them were still about to check room by room, when suddenly a spike stabbed out from under the ape dragon.
The speed was so fast that by the time the pain came, the spikes had been pulled out.
Sarutobi quickly pulled Kakashi back, but felt a chill in his back, and suddenly bent down and curled himself up in a ball, the sharp blade brushing his back, slashing a handful of hair that hadn't kept up with the action.
After a split second of fighting, the two retreated to the staircase.
Sarutobi frowned as he looked at the broadsword that cut through the wall, and gestured for Kakashi to go up to the deck to join Hara and the two.
"Beheading the broadsword?"
"Hey~"
The young ninja with the cross-shaped scar on the right side of his face just grinned, bared a mouthful of fangs, and turned around and slashed at Saruwyyi's chest.
As soon as the ape wyvern left, he took out his dagger to block the powerful blow, and with the help of one foot up the stairs, he climbed up the stairs to the next floor, dodging the steel spikes that stabbed from below.
Before the two caught up, they left and retreated to the deck.
The space underneath is too small, and the other party is a two-person attack, and the space to dodge is pitiful, and it is more beneficial for him to retreat to the deck.
Loquat Juzo followed, smashing a hole in the deck and jumping out below, and another thin man in a mask followed the ape wyvern and walked out of the staircase.
One after the other, the ape flying dragon is sandwiched in the middle, forming a two-bread sandwich.
"Beheading a big knife, a long knife and stitching needle...... It seems to have been premeditated~"
Ape Feilong asked again, trying to get some information, and by the way, delay the time.
But Loquat Shizang just smiled at him, didn't say a word, and took up the decapitation broadsword to mess with the cloak knife technique, and the pressed ape flying dragon retreated step by step, and had to dodge the stitches that were inserted in the back.
Even if it is one-on-one, it is difficult to defeat the ape flying dragon when he is injured in the sole of his foot, after all, the other party is a member of the most elite ninja force in the fog hidden village, and he can barely have a chance of winning without being injured.
In less than two minutes, Ape Fei Longyi's thigh was pierced by stitches, leaving a steel wire behind him, and his forearm was also cut off with a large decapitation knife.
Just as he was looking at the blade of the decapitating broadsword and his mind was already running wild, the captain's wheelhouse in the distance suddenly exploded......
Loquat Shizang inevitably distracted himself a little.
The ape flying dragon endured the pain and sealed.
On the other side, Kakashi ran out of the flames with Hara Heiyuki on his back, followed by two embarrassed masked men, but as soon as one of them got out of the fire, he was hit in the back by three feathered arrows from the sea, and the whole person exploded and shattered to the ground.
The other swung his short knife and pushed away the arrow that was shot at him, but he was still blown away by the explosion, which shattered the iron ring engraved with spiral patterns on the outside, and the masked man's body was nailed into four or five metal fragments, and he was blown to the ground with a muffled grunt......
