"It's so confusing."
The long transport caravan was like a long dragon, while Xu Yue sat on a fairly comfortable carriage and counted the harvest.
Yugao was relatively easy to deal with. When he wanted to rest, an enhanced version of Tsukuyomi in the C world was played, which gave him a 'nightmare'.
You can do whatever you want, and when he wakes up everything will be done.
With the tailed beast's chakra reserve, the bit that is drained away will not hurt at all. At most, you will feel a little tired and sore, and you will probably think that you have not had a good rest from the nightmare.
The use of experience to instill enhanced knowledge of sealing techniques also makes Xu Yue fully capable of absorbing part of the tailed beast chakra.
It takes a lot of effort to extract the whole thing, but the difficulty of extracting the part is actually reduced a lot.
Now the nine tailed beasts have collected four types of chakra, and if you collect one more chakra, you will be halfway there.
As for other incidental gains, they were the corals and pearls used by this convoy to conceal their original intentions.
Xu Yue originally thought that these were incidental and had no idea about the money he had saved.
But looking at the two guarding Jonin who always looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, I still realized that I seemed to have saved a lot of money. Couldn't I just buy a dozen Asumas? That's a lot...
After all, the Taketori clan is also a wealthy family in the Kingdom of Water, and it went smoothly without any problems in the Kingdom of Water.
When leaving the Kingdom of Water, he also boarded a large sea ship, preparing to pass through the Kingdom of Waves and arrive at the Kingdom of Fire to take the road to the Kingdom of Wind.
The sea route from the Kingdom of Water to the Kingdom of Fire is completely in a no-no zone, and there are many islands providing hiding places.
This led to the prevalence of wandering ninjas and pirates.
Even the team escorted by two Jonin chose to keep a low profile.
Outside the boxes of coral and pearls, there were shadows of cheaper products.
Do Jonin also have to worry about bandits?
What a shame.
There are also individual Chuuriki here, okay...
…
However, Xu Yue discovered that his place really seemed valuable after only three days at sea.
Various strange ships, large and small, kept appearing all around.
Members of the two chuunin teams rushed into the water from time to time, bringing up some red, and even a lot of sharks came over.
As ninjas from the Kingdom of Water, the Taketori clan is very adaptable to this kind of battle.
"They should be just testing and not attacking."
Xu Yue came out of the cabin and curiously asked Yu Gao, who had always acted like a cool male god next to him.
"Who knows, but based on time, even if they discovered the value of our goods and gathered people, they shouldn't have gathered so many people in such a short period of time."
Yu Gao looked at the large and small ships that had been accompanying them in the distance, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.
These pirates cannot be from the same force, otherwise the Kingdom of Water would not allow powerful organizations to appear nearby. It is obviously a coordinated operation by multiple pirate organizations.
But the question is, how did they know in advance where they would go to sea and the value of the goods?
It seems that someone should have contacted them specifically and provided information!
If this is the case, then this battle may be inevitable.
However, as the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki, almost standing at the top of the ninja world's food chain in this era, Yugao didn't worry too much about his own safety.
I'm just a little worried about the current situation of the village. The ninjas take over the work privately, and there is information leaked internally. It is obvious that there is another factional fight.
If this continues, what is the meaning of the existence of the village? Returning to the ninja mode of the Warring States Period...
The two Jonin of the Taketori clan never took action, but stood on the bow of the boat with solemn faces, watching the two Chuunin teams hunting down some infiltrators from time to time.
It's not that they don't want to take action, but that the other party is testing the combat strength here!
The purpose is to force them out.
The two teams of chuunin have been able to deal with it with ease, which can actually improve the deterrence.
But as the frequency increases, people with extraordinary abilities appear more and more frequently.
There were even figures treading water and arriving nearby to watch. The two of them also understood that this battle was unavoidable.
Alas, the other party was only willing to pay two Jonin escorts for such a valuable cargo. If it hadn't been a problem for the other party before and it focused on long-term business, it would be really unwilling to agree.
Fortunately, Master Yugao is also on board. Although he stated that he was only protecting his employer, he will definitely take action when the crisis comes...
Corpse bone veins? Ten finger penetration
Corpse bone veins? Ten finger penetration
The two jounin suddenly used the signature long-range attack of the Taketori clan.
The piercing finger bones cut through the air and penetrated into the seabed with a sharp whistling sound, instantly creating several blood flowers under the water.
And their actions seemed to light a fuse. The other party's actions of waiting and testing all stopped, and in an instant it turned into an overwhelming offensive!
Several small boats came like arrows cutting through the white waves.
Along with them, there were dozens of wandering ninjas who came walking on the water.
Although it seems that these are all at the level of middle genin, the members of the Taketori clan do not dare to be careless at all.
"Water escape. Great waterfall technique!"
However, at this moment, the master hiding in the dark among this group of people finally took action.
The first shot is a high-level water escape.
It is even more powerful in this sea environment.
The spiral water flows straight towards the hull!
Although they knew that the other party was intentional, they certainly did not want to sink the ship.
But the two Jonin of the Taketori clan could not ignore this attack.
Only one of them had no choice but to teleport to the Great Waterfall Technique. With a crackling sound, a large number of bone spurs shot out all over his body.
Corpse Veins? Dance of Karamatsu!
Then he forcibly blocked the waterfall technique.
Although this is a very powerful defensive technique.
But the gaps between the bone spurs are not very good at resisting water escape on this scale.
The other party is completely waiting for this opportunity, waiting for the two of them to take action, and then seize the opportunity to use this targeted method.
It seems that they have known for a long time that they are the Taketori clan!
Accompanied by a bombardment.
Although the Great Waterfall Jutsu was completely cut into pieces and interrupted by Karamatsu no Mai, it still beat the jounin into a state of confusion.
The purpose and effect of this ninjutsu have been fully achieved.
"As expected of the Taketori clan, they actually blocked it."
A figure slowly emerged from the sea, forming a human form, revealing a strange figure with a bandage on his face.
"Momochi Zabuza, it's your boy."
The Jōnin from the Taketori clan who did not intercept him also showed a solemn look on his face after looking at the appearance of the visitor.
This guy killed everyone in his class when he graduated, and he rose through the ranks like a rocket. He was an absolute assassination genius!
I didn't expect this guy to come over.
Although he has always been rebellious, he has no signs of betraying the village. Is this specifically targeting the Taketori clan...
——————
Two updates completed... gone today
Note: When Zabuza failed to participate in the coup, he took Haku and met Kimimaro and Orochimaru, so that time should be after the annihilation of the Taketori clan. It hasn't happened yet, and he is still a Kirigakure ninja.
