Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 17
On the turbulent sea, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the wind and waves swept through.

Standing on the shaky deck, Lan almost vomited out the seafood he ate in the morning. Looking at this dark world, Lan couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Just when Lan was anxious, several thunderclaps suddenly came out of the sky.

"Boom--"

Along with the sound of sea waves, the sound of thunder spread into Lan's ears wave after wave. It didn't take long before several bolts of lightning tore through the sky.

The surrounding area was illuminated by white lightning.

Lan helped the boat through the sailors and walked into the cabin. Looking at Zhujian who was sitting peacefully behind the desk writing something, he couldn't help but stepped forward to see what he was writing.

Before getting close, Zhu Jian closed the book and put down his pen. He raised his head and looked at Lan suspiciously, and said, "Why don't you stay outside?"

"It's dark outside, it's boring, why don't you come in, what are you writing about?" Lan walked up to Zhujian and sat down.

"Tell me this." Hashirama opened the book and said, "I'm writing about me and Madara's previous experience. Before Konoha was established, he and I were always fighting for peace. When Konoha was established, I'm busy with Hokage's work, and I thought about letting him be Hokage, but I didn't expect that those families would not let him be, and then..."

Hashirama sat by candlelight and told Lan the interesting stories between him and Uchiha Madara. At the beginning, he would tell some interesting stories from time to time, but later on, it almost became trivial and troublesome.

Speaking of the decisive battle between him and Uchiha Madara in the Valley of the End, Hashirama stopped, raised his head and sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that I would kill him, alas, that idiot, in fact, he once told me The same, they all love Konoha, but no one can understand him except me, I look like a fool in his eyes, but he doesn't know... In fact, he is also a fool in my eyes."

As he spoke, tears appeared in Zhujian's eyes. He raised his right hand stained with ink and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. I have been sailing at sea for almost a week, and I must have arrived at my destination soon."

"It should be here soon. I heard from the helmsman that we will arrive there in about an hour, and I don't know what is occupying that island." Lan was a little worried. He was afraid that the person occupying the island would be someone who escaped from the Kingdom of Water. Three tails.

Lan had seen the horror of Nine-Tails when he was six years old. Although he only saw it from afar, the destructive power of that terror has never been forgotten by Lan.

Recalling, Lan's eyes could not help revealing a trace of fear.

Seeing the fear in Lan's eyes, Zhujian stretched out his hand to wake Lan up, put his hand on Lan's left shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why does it feel like you're scared?"

"I'm a little worried that the monsters occupying the island are tailed beasts..." Lan expressed his worries.

"What? Tailed beasts? There's nothing to be afraid of. I remember back then, Madara and I used tailed beasts as sandbags to play with. The most popular time I remember was when I used the wooden dummy technique to play with nine tails, haha. When you reach the shadow level, you can be as powerful as me." Hashirama laughed with a rough nerve.

After listening to Zhujian's words, Lan twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and when he was about to say something, the people outside shouted: "We're almost there, I've already seen Mingka Island."

"Looks like we're going to be busy again, I'll go and observe the environment first." After leaving a sentence, Hashirama put away the book and walked out.

Seeing Zhujian leaving, Lan had no choice but to get up and follow.

As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, Lan saw a small island shrouded in thick fog. Looking at the wreckage of the shipwreck and human bones around the island, Lan couldn't help frowning.

While Lan and Zhujian were observing, ten wandering ninjas with ninja knives jumped off the largest sailboat on the left.

After they jumped off the boat, they put Chakra on their feet and ran on the turbulent sea. It seemed that they planned to land on the island first.

Seeing this, Lan wanted to follow, and just as Lan was about to get up, Hashirama stopped him and said, "Wait, there is something wrong with this fog, it's not sea fog, and there are a lot of chakras in this fog."

Before he finished speaking, the first wandering ninja rushed into the fog, and before he was happy, a sense of corrosion spread throughout his body.

Turning his head, he saw that his skin and clothes were corroding.

Seeing this, the ninja was about to turn around and run away. Just as he turned around, there was more water mist in the thick fog, and the water mist wrapped the ninja. It didn't take long for the ninja to be melted into a pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, the wandering ninjas following behind him stopped in unison.

Several people looked at each other, and then turned their heads to retreat to the boat. Just when the wandering ninja turned around, the originally calm beach suddenly became like a swamp.

The wandering ninjas were falling uncontrollably. Seeing this, they shouted for help while trying to escape.

"Help! Help us...down here—ah——"

Before a ninja could finish his sentence, the thick mist stretched out a cloud of mist like tentacles and corroded him. Maybe this small cloud of mist was separated from the body and weakened. All the ninjas were corroded into a pile of withered and yellow human bones.

Seeing this scene, Lan's eyes widened involuntarily. After finally suppressing his nausea, he heard the sound of vomiting from the big boat with Konoha Ninja on the right.

Hearing the sound, Lan couldn't hold back the impulse in his belly anymore, and hastily pushed the sailor away and climbed to the right side of the ship's rail, and opened his mouth to vomit out the contents of his stomach.

Wiping her mouth, Lan got up and prepared to go back to Hashirama. When she got up, Lan saw that the people on the Konoha boat were all her former classmates who vomited, and among them was the sarcastic Kimura Xinliang.

Seeing them, Lan was taken aback for a moment, and not long after, Zhu Jian came over and patted Lan on the shoulder and asked in concern, "How is it? Is it better?"

Hearing Zhu Jian's question, Lan turned around and shook her head, and replied, "It's much better, do you know what's going on with that fog?"

"Hmm..." Hashirama murmured, and just when Lan thought he was organizing his words, Hashirama shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can only sense the tailed beast's chakra from the fog."

"What! Chakra of the Tailed Beast, you mean that the one occupying the island is the Tailed Beast?" Lan asked in surprise.

"No." Hashirama shook his head.

Seeing Zhu Jian's denial, Lan asked, "It's not a tailed beast? Then what do you say about the Chakra with a tailed beast in the mist?"

Hashirama was not in a hurry to answer Lan's question. He turned around and walked to the bow, and said with his hands in his arms, "It's not that all tailed beasts have chakras. He may be a jinchuriki or something mutated by the influence of tailed beasts. If I'm not mistaken, the one occupying this island should be a mutated creature affected by the Three Tails."

"Mutated creatures, can they become so powerful just by being affected? That's really terrifying." Lan said.

"Forget it, that's it. Ordinary mutated creatures are very weak. This one, I guess, should have survived for a long time so it became so strong. If I guessed right, the monster that occupies this island is probably alive." It must have been hundreds of years." Hashirama stroked his chin and guessed.

Lan heard the words and looked at Zhujian, and said: "Hundreds of years...then I am afraid that this monster is older than you."

"Maybe, who knows, if it really took such a long time, I'm afraid a lot of people will die this time." Zhu Jian turned his head to the side of the wandering ninja, looking at the noisy wandering ninja, Zhu Jian There was a rare trace of heaviness on Jian's face.

Standing beside Zhujian, Lan looked at the island covered in thick fog, and asked, "Then what should we do? Give up the mission or..."

"Give up? How can it be possible to give up? With such a high bounty, we can play for a long time. You must not give up. Isn't it just a little monster? When the fog clears, I will solve it for you. When the time comes Give me half of the bounty, and I'm going to play dice with others." After Hashirama finished speaking, he rubbed his hands excitedly.

Seeing him like this, Lan said with black lines all over his head: "No, no, you are not gambling like that, you are giving money, listen to me, don't play, if you want to play dice, go to your granddaughter Bar."

Hearing this, Zhujian was stunned, and then said: "Granddaughter... Tsunade-chan, let's go find her after this mission is over, I don't know what she looks like now."

Hearing Tsunade's name, the appearance of Tsunade appeared in Lan's mind. When thinking of her, Lan felt a warm current in his nose.

Hurrying to block the nosebleed back, Lan shook her head and threw the previous picture out. With the sea breeze blowing, Lan stared at the thick fog and asked Zhujian: "Can this thing be blown away by the wind?"

"I don't know, you can try." Hashirama said.

"Then I'll give it a try." Lan responded, took out the Uchiha Uchiha fan, tied it on his back, and then stood up and jumped to the surface of the sea.

Standing on the sea, Lan raised his hand to form a seal of Fengdun·Great Storm, and when Chakra was in place, Lan put his right hand by his mouth and blew towards the thick fog in the distance.

Under the influence of the spell, a large amount of chakra turned into streams of air flowing into Lan's throat, and as Lan sprayed them out, those air streams turned into strong winds and swept the waves towards the thick fog.

The big waves shattered the surrounding shipwrecks, and the broken boards mixed with shrimps, crabs and seaweed in the sea crazily hit the fog.

With the wave after wave, the thick fog in front dissipated a lot, and before Lan could catch his breath, the fog filled the blank area again as if it had life.

Seeing this, Lan jumped onto the reef in disbelief. Since the waves can't take it away, let's try it with pure wind.

Suddenly, strong winds formed from Lan's body, and it rushed towards the island with an astonishing thrust. The wind swept away the thick fog, and the island covered with green trees slowly appeared in everyone's eyes.

Blue chakra floated around Lan, and he desperately blew the wind.

His face turned red before he stopped.
