It was more than ten minutes after he returned to the office of the Hokage Building. The third generation Hokage Hiruzen looked at the wall in the office that was shattered by a knife mark due to the fight. It was the mark made by the ANBU ninja with his ninja sword.
"what happened?"
Hiruzen looked at the four ANBU ninjas who appeared in front of him and asked what exactly happened here.
"Hokage-sama, someone has stolen the information here."
The Konoha Anbu who had previously fought off the enemy replied.
"Did the enemy catch it?"
Hiruzen asked the key to the matter.
"I cut the enemy's body into two pieces, but the opponent seemed to be immortal. After the body was divided into two pieces, it still had strong vitality and disappeared into the ground and the wall respectively."
The Konoha ANBU quickly knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and explained to Hiruzen, and then continued: "I'm very sorry, Hokage-sama. Although I tracked him afterwards, the opponent moved very fast in the soil, and he was lost after a while. ”
"Get up, it seems that the guy lurking here has special abilities."
Immortality, the ability to sneak into walls and floors, and the ability to throw away ANBU ninjas who are following closely behind him. Not to mention his combat ability, his stealth ability should not be underestimated.
Hiruzen walked to the desk and looked at the messy information files on the desktop. These files involved a lot of things. Because of this, Hiruzen couldn't tell what the lurker was looking for here.
The composition of some jounin teams, the missions they received, the execution teams, and various expired order books. Among them, Hiruzen also found a magazine with a sexy bikini girl on the cover.
"..."
Hiruzen felt embarrassed and quietly stuffed the magazine into the drawer next to him.
There was no way, as the Hokage, he was usually under too much pressure.
Even the Hokage usually needs to read some colorful books to relieve physical stress.
"Hokage-sama, what should we do next?"
"It should be fine. The documents placed here are basically not the most important secrets in the village..."
But to say that these documents can be leaked to people of unknown origin at will is still harmful to the village.
But the key is that the identity and purpose of the enemy cannot be determined at present, and the action cannot be locked. Even if it is known that this lurker is a disaster rather than a blessing for Konoha, there is actually nothing that can be done at all.
I can only let it go.
"Let's do this for now, and be more careful when working later."
Hiruzen did not blame these ANBU, because the ANBU guarding here were only four ninjas from one class.
The reason is that the information and documents here do not involve the real core secrets of Konoha. It is a waste of resources to send more people, and the protection of other places will be reduced.
But unless you take some precautions, the information documents here are not useless.
This is what makes Hiruzen strange. If he comes here for Konoha's secrets, the information he can get from lurking here is obviously limited.
Such as extremely important ANBU member information, various research materials, forbidden techniques and secrets, etc. These are the core secrets of Konoha, and they are also kept in more hidden places.
The ANBU ninjas guarding there are also a group of outstanding people among the ANBU. Not only are they large in number, but most of their ninjutsu are based on rare secret techniques. They are also equipped with special sensing ninjas to prevent enemies from sneaking in.
Not understanding why this lurker came, Hiruzen stopped making these unnecessary speculations.
◎
after one day.
A cruise ship departing from the port of Rainbow Kingdom is heading towards the port of Fire Kingdom.
On the deck of this cruise ship, there are all kinds of people playing on it, or looking at the boundless blue sea.
"Master Huozhen, it's too dangerous to show your face here. It's better to go back to the room."
Two adult male ninjas with white pupils said to the white-eyed ninja who was admiring the blue sea view on the deck.
The ninja they called the 'Fire Formation' was a handsome young man who wore a Konoha ninja forehead protector on his forehead, proving his identity as a Konoha ninja.
Moreover, the pure white eyes of the three of them also made people understand the identities of the three of them - the wealthy Hinata.
The Hyuga clan is not only a wealthy ninja clan among ninjas, but a top ninja clan like them has a complicated relationship with the outside world.
This time the three of them came out purely to establish relations with the Kingdom of Rainbow and deal with some business affairs of the Chamber of Commerce that had business dealings with the Hyuga clan.
Because someone with sufficient identity needed to be present in person, the Hyuga clan sent Hyuga Fire Formation, a descendant of the clan, and the escorts were two special jounin from the branch of the Hyuga clan.
Although they are not real jonins, if the two of them work together, an average jounin can handle it and even defeat him.
As a ninja of the clan, Hinata Fire Formation is the strongest among the three.
Although he is only twenty years old, he is already a famous genius jounin in the Hyuga clan.
With this configuration, even if you encounter hundreds of chunin-level enemies, you can easily escape even if you are defeated.
"It's okay, I just came out to relax. The family's business in the Kingdom of Rainbow has been taken care of, so don't be so nervous."
Fire Formation laughed off the concerns of the two Hyuga separated ninjas.
"Even so, as a sect..."
Seeing the boos from the fire formation, the branch ninja knew that he almost let something slip. He looked at the people around him and didn't pay attention, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You two, don't be too respectful to me. Just be casual."
A gentle smile appeared on Huo Zhen's face.
"yes."
Although Huo Zhen, who was a member of the clan, said so, the two branch ninjas still did not dare to transcend their identities.
After all, the idea they have accepted since childhood is that the clan is the main one.
Even if you risk your life, you must ensure the safety of the clan's ninjas.
This kind of will has been deeply embedded in their genes. Many times, they will subconsciously act to protect the clan.
Huo Zhen sighed at the two people's restraint, which made them even more suspicious.
But even if an accident occurs, with the strength of the three of them...
boom!
There was a sudden explosion, and the huge hull of the cruise ship shook violently, shaking violently on the boundless sea.
The fire formation and the two separated ninjas quickly gathered chakra on the soles of their feet, and then grabbed the railing on the side to stabilize their bodies firmly on the deck.
After the shock just now, the tourists on the deck screamed in panic, and an atmosphere of fear and confusion spread on the cruise ship.
On the blue sea, huge waves rolled up overwhelmingly, attacking the cruise ship one after another.
The cruise ship swayed on the sea and almost overturned the huge hull several times.
"What, what's going on!?"
"Looks like the road back to Konoha won't be smooth sailing."
Huo Zhen stood calmly on the deck, his eyes opened, and his gaze penetrated the waves of water, and he saw a dozen enemies approaching the cruise ship quickly.
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
There was a roaring sound in the air. After the water waves, a huge water dragon formed by gathering water rushed towards the cruise ship with a more visual impact.
Huo Zhen looked at the frightened tourists on the deck, frowned, and jumped hard into the air with his legs. Chakra was expelled from the acupuncture points of his body, and his body started to spin like a top.
"Back to the days!"
boom!
Returning to the cage, it collided with the huge chakra sphere spinning out of the fire array.
The water dragon burst into a large amount of water and washed away the deck of the cruise ship. Several tourists were accidentally washed into the sea and shouted for help.
The fire array retreated from mid-air. Although Kaiten successfully blocked the water dragon from hitting the cruise ship and prevented the cruise ship from being smashed by the water dragon, the surging force hit his body. Even if Kaiten blocked most of the force, he was still His face turned pale.
"Follow me, don't fight here!"
Huo Zhen knew that these enemies didn't care about the hundreds of lives on the cruise ship. Fighting here would actually put their own situation in danger.
Jump off the deck, stand on the sea and run immediately.
"yes!"
The two separated ninjas immediately ran after the fire formation, looking at the cruise ship getting further and further away. Even if they fought, they would not reach there.
"Lord Huozhen, what are these..."
"The water release is very powerful, but he doesn't look like a Kirigakure ninja in his outfit."
The clothes of these people are no different from ordinary civilians. They wear very rough linen clothes, not formal ninja attire.
"Dressing up?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
After Huo Zhen's words, a vast white mist suddenly rolled up on the sea without any warning.
The sea area with a radius of one kilometer was shrouded in this sudden white fog.
There is extremely powerful chakra in the white mist, and the insight of the Byakugan is still there. Correspondingly, because to see through the white mist, more chakra is consumed than usual, but for Hinata's three ninjas , this amount of chakra is nothing at all.
"The Kirigakure Jutsu is still a powerful technique. It can basically block the Sharingan. But our Hinata's Byakugan is unparalleled in terms of insight."
The fire array has no fear of this powerful Kirigakure technique. Within the area observed by Byakugan, it can basically be determined by how many enemies there are, from what direction they attack, and what type of escape technique they need to release when chakra flows. Determine it in advance.
Killings for no reason are common in the ninja world, but a dozen unknown ninjas rushed towards the three of them with terrifying murderous intent. It was obvious that the target was the three of them.
In other words, it is the limit of blood succession of the Hyuga clan - the pure Byakugan who is not restricted by the caged bird.
"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The same ninjutsu, but this time a total of six people used this ninjutsu.
The sound of six water dragons colliding from the front, and the wave of water enough to crush a person's body, made Hinata's three ninjas look extremely solemn.
Such an intensity of impact would have no effect on just one person's recovery.
It would be great if these two people who separated from each other would die. Huo Zhen sighed inwardly.
If all three of them were to recover, although they would not be unscathed from such an attack, they would certainly be able to defend themselves, and at most they would suffer some injuries.
It's a pity that only the clan and individual branch ninjas are qualified to learn the top-secret moves of Kaiten, which is an absolute defensive form.
Many jounin from separate families are not qualified to learn, including the two special jounin guards around him.
Being hit head-on by the concentrated shock wave of six water dragons, the least serious consequence would be serious injury.
Therefore, the three of them kept running backwards, keeping the distance between them so that the impact of the water dragon was reduced, and then dealt with it.
However, the other party is very aware of the Hyuga clan's methods, and that this is the endless sea, an area of growth dominated by water escape ninjas.
The water escape technique that can be used with a normal amount of chakra can now be performed here with only half of the original chakra.
If the same amount of chakra is used, the power of water escape will be doubled.
For water escape ninjas, there is no place more suitable for water escape than here.
It's really too disadvantageous to fight a water escape ninja with a large ninjutsu range here.
"hateful!"
Although the dozen or so people were very skilled, none of them had any intention of engaging in close combat. They only used long-range and huge-range water escape techniques, relying on the main sea to continuously consume their physical strength.
If you are accidentally hit by the water escape technique, you will be seriously injured.
If this continues, sooner or later the three of them will be exhausted and captured by the enemy.
"Lord Huozhen, please leave here first. The strength of these guys is not simple! Let's cut off the rear here!"
Two special Jōnin-level ninjas wanted to open a bloody path for the fire formation to let him leave here first.
The importance of the Byakugan to Hinata is self-evident. If this pure blood inheritance boundary falls into the hands of others, it will not be a good thing for Hinata and Konoha.
Huo Zhen glanced at the two of them, as if he saw the determination to die in their eyes, nodded, and ran away without hesitation in a direction where there was no enemy blocking the way.
Whether he wants it or not, the meaning of the existence of the Separate Ninja can only be reflected at this moment.
Fight to the death for a way out for the clan ninjas, rather than sacrifice the clan ninjas here and let the branch clan ninjas escape.
Huo Zhen is no stranger to this situation and feels it is a matter of course.
Because he wanted to protect his precious and proud Byakugan from being acquired by the enemy, the sacrifices of the two separated ninjas were not worthless.
——A few kilometers away from the battlefield, an earthy man with an earthy body emerged from the sea.
Then the entire twisted human body stood limply on the sea, and the body began to twist irregularly.
Immediately afterwards, it formed a seal with its hands, and finally pressed its hands on the sea. Along with a large amount of white smoke, Shiraishi wearing a white hooded coat was summoned from the distant Konoha.
"This counter-spiritual technique is really convenient, thank you for your hard work."
Shiraishi looked at his 'idiot son' standing next to him. In many cases, he still had many conveniences.
But Shiraishi's original idea was to make him a powerful rock doll for use in combat.
However, due to the limitations of technology and magic, it can only be allowed to stay by his side as a lurker.
The clay man murmured a lot of words of unknown meaning, and then disappeared into the sea water.
After Shiraishi saw him disappear, he squatted down and pointed at the sea with a finger, and the huge range of perception power spread out in all directions.
The target he was looking for was the Hyuga Fire Formation, a Jonin of the Hyuga clan.
"In that direction? But what's going on with this kind of fighting? Are there other guys watching?"
Shiraishi looked strange.
But it’s normal to think about it. The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is so strategic, especially in the ninja war. It can be said that as long as you have such an eye, the enemy’s conspiracy will be exposed inexplicably in many cases.
In his perception, the warring parties were divided into two camps, with three people on one side and thirteen people on the other.
The person on the side of the three should be the ninjas of the Hyuga clan. The person who is planning to retreat from the battlefield at this moment is probably the Hyuga Fire Formation.
It seemed that he was planning to use the Separation Ninja to delay time and gain a chance of escaping for himself.
"The enemies ambushing me are not easy, but with them helping me drag them away, I don't have to worry about the two separate guards."
Shiraishi smiled slightly, and then the figure disappeared from the place, rushing towards the direction where the Hyuga Fire Formation escaped.
The perception range of the Spiritualization Technique is very wide, and here is the sea without any obstacles, which means that as long as Shiraishi is faster than the opponent, the Hyuga Fire Formation cannot escape his pursuit.
This is also true. In terms of speed, Shiraishi is very confident.
Even if the opponent is a famous genius jounin of the Hyuga clan, it will be a matter of time before he catches up.
About five minutes later, Shiraishi saw a young ninja wearing Hyuga clan-style clothes running fast on the sea.
He also spotted Shiraishi approaching quickly and seemed a little surprised.
He knew that someone was approaching him very quickly, but he did not expect that the person would be a ninja from Konoha.
He had seen this face by chance before. He remembered that it was the medical ninja in Sakumo's Jonin team.
Why does it appear here?
This abnormal speed is even more exaggerated than that of a Jonin like him?
The enemy transformed?
But under Byakugan's observation, there was no trace of transformation.
Even if you transform, there is no need to transform into such an unrelated person.
Huo Zhen's eyes became alert.
"Wait, you-"
He wanted to say something, but Shiraishi didn't give him a chance to speak. He took out a few projectiles from his ninja bag, threw them in the air and exploded.
The smoke spreads faster than the Kirigakure Jutsu, and the diameter of the smoke is more than thirty meters. The color of the smoke is dark purple, and the fire array changes color immediately.
He didn't dare to smell the strangely colored mist and dived directly into the sea water.
Just wait until these strangely colored mist dissipates before returning to the sea.
Unexpectedly, after holding his breath in the sea water for about three or two minutes, the poisonous mist showed signs of slowly dispersing.
Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Shiraishi took out a few more projectiles from his ninja bag and continued to spread on the sea.
Under Byakugan's observation, the fire array locked onto Shiraishi's ninja tool bag, which contained many such projectiles.
"..."
If this continues, he will definitely end the battle by drowning in the sea.
If he wants to move in the sea, the other party will definitely move with him.
In desperation, he had no choice but to swim up to the sea, and when the time came, he would use Kaitian to deflect the poisonous mist and take a breather.
Shiraishi also knew what the fire array was thinking, so he took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag. This kunai had a string of five detonating charms hanging on it, and showed a kind smile to the fire array.
Don't think about showing up like this, just be a coward... This is exactly what Shiraishi meant.
"..."
To be honest, Huo Zhen was a little annoyed and had the urge to curse.
Why does this person have no fighting style that a ninja should have? Judging from his speed, he should be a taijutsu ninja. Shouldn't he rely on his powerful taijutsu to fight him in close combat?
At this moment, another foreign object broke into the field of vision.
It was an khaki humanoid figure made of mud, which swam up from the deeper dark seabed. Its black eyes emitted a pale golden light, especially two eyes in the bottomless darkness. Gives people a scary atmosphere.
He twisted his extremely strange body and sprinted towards this side at a speed that the fire array felt was abnormal, much faster than the fire array running on land.
Huo Zhen's face changed in shock.
Because he discovered that there were waterproof talismans tied to the body of this humanoid, and on each talisman, there was the word "explosion".
Waterproof detonator.
This kind of detonating talisman is less powerful than ordinary detonating talismans. However, if this quantity explodes, no matter how small the power is, it is enough to shatter people to pieces.
General Tu was gliding very fast in the sea water, giving the fire array no extra time to think about it.
Back to the days!
After swimming to the sea, this weird clay man will definitely catch up with him and detonate the detonating talisman on his body.
Therefore, the fire formation did not hesitate to use Kaitian in the sea water, stirring the water flow and bouncing the clay man away from him.
Boom!
A dull explosion sounded in the sea, and a huge hole suddenly sunk into the sea. The fire array spat out blood and flew into the air, opening its eyes with difficulty.
Although the poisonous fog on the sea was pushed away due to the huge explosion, he also suffered serious injuries.
This bastard!
Nothing like what a ninja should look like!
When you encounter such a despicable and disrespectful guy, you really deserve to be punished by God!
"Back to the days!"
Seeing Bai Shi rushing towards him, Huo Zhen gritted his teeth and stared at Bai Shi with angry and ferocious eyes.
Release most of the chakra remaining in the body, and use it with maximum power to let him know that even so, he is no match for the ninja of the Hyuga clan.
Die!
Snapped!
A look of astonishment appeared on his face, but he did not turn around.
His arm was grabbed by Shiraishi first, and then his body was thrown toward the sea in the opposite direction.
His body came into heavy contact with the sea water, and he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Shiraishi in shock.
"How could it be...you actually cracked Kaitian!?"
"Why are you showing such a surprised look? I have seen Kaiten who is many times more powerful than you. In my eyes, your Kaiten is basically full of flaws. General, from the Hyuga clan."
The person Shiraishi was referring to was of course Ayane.
He has seen the power, speed, and counter-shock power of the Kaitian performed by Ayane, far exceeding the Kaitian performed by the fire array.
In Shiraishi's eyes, the Fire Formation's return to the sky only requires a faster speed than him to crack it with a hard core.
This is nothing to show off at all.
"You bastard... are you really the medical ninja from Sakumo's Jonin team? You are also a Konoha ninja, why do you..."
When Baishi faced the question from the fire formation, he did not explain it again.
Seeing Shiraishi who was not interested in explaining, Huo Zhen's eyes showed resentment, but his body did not support him to persist, his head was heavy, and he soon lost consciousness and passed out.
Shiraishi put the body of the fire array on his shoulders and looked at the broken earth-yellow mud next to it, which was bonding at an extremely slow speed.
The only relatively complete head, the mouth was extremely weak and uttered words of unknown meaning.
It seems that he has already enjoyed what kind of fun it is to participate in the battle.
He is incoherent now, and you know how happy he is.
