I teach kendo in the ninja world

Gao~

Gao~

Three or two seagulls and ospreys flew freely over the sea with their cheerful calls.

Looking down from their perspective, more than 20 large ships were lined up in two rows, sailing neatly on the water.

That's right, it's neat.

This is incredible.

You know, it is hundreds of times more difficult to maintain an orderly formation of ships at sea than on land.

Especially for large ships, the larger the ship, the more difficult it is for the operator to control these details.

There are not many skilled veteran sailors to be found in the Land of Fire.

In order to see the details clearly, a seagull flapped its wings and flew lower.

It turns out that many of the big ships in Konoha are connected together with iron ropes to fix their positions to each other.

This matter needs to start from a day ago.

……

Twenty-five large ships, fully loaded with five thousand Konoha's elite ninjas, rushed to the sea majestically.

They kept their spirits high and their morale high, vowing to teach Kirigakure Village an unforgettable lesson.

It's a pity that dreams are beautiful, but the cold reality gave them a cruel blow in the head.

Not to mention the Kingdom of Water, they hadn't even reached the Kingdom of Bears, and one-fifth of the ninjas on the ship were already suffering from mild seasickness.

After all, it can be said that [-]% of the people in the Land of Fire are landlubbers. This is the first time for most ninjas to take a boat to sea in their lives. No one knows whether they will get seasick before setting off.

In the original work, even elite jounin like Akai, who specializes in physical skills, will almost lose the ability to move due to seasickness. It can be seen that chakra cannot prevent seasickness.

After discovering this situation, everyone in Konoha was immediately embarrassed.

This was really beyond their expectations.

Although the number of one-fifth is actually not that much, and the symptoms of most people are not serious.

But after all, this is just the first day at sea!

If so many people were lost due to non-combat reasons on the first day, how would we fight future battles?

Just when Jiraiya and others were at a loss, some people even proposed to let these seasick ninjas stay in the Bear Country to recuperate on the spot, while the others set off first.

As the general staff officer, Nara Shikaku stood up and proposed this "iron chain" method.

After testing, the boats were connected with iron cables and relied on each other. The resistance to wind, waves and bumps was greatly increased, and it suddenly became much more stable, and everyone's seasickness symptoms were relieved.

As a result, thick iron ropes became the standard supporting facilities of Konoha fleet.

……

After talking about the origin of the iron chain and the boat, his eyes returned to the seagull.

I saw it hovering over the Konoha fleet for a long time, and was about to flap its wings and leave——

"The art of turning the heart!"

A Konoha ninja with light yellow hair and a long ponytail made a square shape with his hands and pointed at the seagulls in the sky.

Pfft!

The next moment, his body fell limply into his companion's arms, and the seagull's movements in the sky suddenly became a little uncoordinated, flapping its wings in panic and falling towards the ship below.

This is because Yamanaka Haiichi is not yet familiar with how to control the body of a seagull to fly.

Fortunately, the seagull flew high enough. He flapped his wings for a while and finally found the feeling. He controlled the seagull and landed on the railing of the ship's side without any danger.

Yamanaka Haiichi's status, even on the Konoha flagship, was one of the top few. He made such a big noise, which immediately alerted the other ninjas.

Nara Shikaku was the closest to him at the time, and out of the tacit understanding he had developed in daily life, he helped the fainting Yamanaka Haiichi.

When he saw this seagull landing on purpose, he understood everything.

Haiyi must have noticed something unusual about this seagull and then took action to change his mind.

So, he said to the seagull that landed: "Haiyi, I will count to three to two one, you unlock the ninjutsu, and I will control this seagull!"

Yamanaka Haiichi controlled the seagull's body and nodded slightly.

"Three, two, one!"

Nara Shikaku made seals with his hands and counted down loudly.

When he said "one", both of them released their ninjutsu at the same time.

"The art of turning the heart, solution!"

"Shadow Mimicry!"

The moment Yamanaka Hai released his ninjutsu, the seagull didn't even have time to flap its wings before it was firmly fixed by a dark shadow crawling from the ground like a poisonous snake.

"success!"

Nara Shikaku smiled easily, and at the same time, Yamanaka Haiichi in his arms also opened his eyes.

Seeing the two people getting up, they were also alarmed just now but did not come forward. Jiraiya and others who had been standing aside waiting gathered around them.

"Haiyi, what's going on?"

As the leader of this team, Jiraiya naturally asked first.

"Jiraiya-sama, our whereabouts may have been discovered by people from Kirigakure Village."

Every time Yamanaka Hai opened his mouth, it was explosive news.

"How can you see it?" Jiraiya frowned slightly.

"That seagull behaved a little strangely just now. It must be the psychic beast of the Kirigakure ninja."

Yamanaka Haiichi pointed at the seagull that was controlled by Nara Shikaku's shadow imitation technique and could not move.

"Psychic beast..."

Jiraiya nodded secretly. Although there is no [-]% proof, the psychic technique itself is not a very difficult ninjutsu.

Whether or not necromancy is powerful depends only on whether you can find a powerful enough psychic beast. If you are willing to lower your standards, necromancy can almost become popular.

After all, it is just a C-level ninjutsu, and it is not too difficult for ordinary chunin to learn.

"Well done, Haiyi!"

Jiraiya patted Yamanaka Haiichi on the shoulder and smiled: "Thanks to you, otherwise we might be caught off guard by Kirigakure's people. Tokuma!"

He turned to look at a ninja behind him who rolled his eyes.

"exist."

"From now on, I will trouble you to work harder. Someone must always monitor the surrounding situation."

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya!"

Hyuga Tokuma nodded solemnly, then turned and left to deploy the Hyuga branch ninjas who were accompanying him this time.

At this time, Nara Shikaku suddenly raised his head.

"Jiraiya-sama, since we have discovered each other's plan, why not use it to our advantage?"

"Just count?"

Nara Shikaku glanced at Yamanaka Haiichi with his head tilted.

"Since they want to use this seagull to obtain information, then we might as well give them the direct information. However, only the information we want them to know."

The corners of Nara Shikaku's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes shone with wisdom.

……

Hongquan Island.

The location of this island is almost in the middle of the land of the Kingdom of Water and the mainland of the Kingdom of Fire.

More than 30 white-haired ninjas gathered behind the first ninja carrying a pair of fish-shaped swords, as if waiting for some news.

"Gao!"

A high-pitched and loud cry came from above their heads. It was a rather majestic seagull.The white wings spread out, like a small cloud, and landed steadily on the arm of a white-haired ninja.

"Qingyue, have you found it?"

Ghost Light Qianyue turned his attention to the Ghost Light ninja who was communicating with the seagull.

"Captain, we found it! Huiyu said they are sailing from Red Reef Island to Weiyu Island. There are a dozen large ships in total!"

Ghost Deng Qingyue grinned, a cold light flashing on his sharp teeth.

"Red Reef Island, Weiyu Island..."

Gui Deng Qianyue pondered for a moment, and the location of the two islands appeared in his mind, as well as their relative position to the Hongquan Island where he and others were currently located.

"Very good, let's go!"

A moment later, he shouted, and more than 30 ghost lamp ninjas who were skilled in the art of water transformation jumped into the sea. Under their feet, there were already medium-sized clams waiting for them.

"set off!"

chi chi chi-

After the passengers were in their seats, the clams began to blow air from their blowholes in unison, carrying the ghost lantern ninjas on their backs like jet skis towards Ouha Island at high speed.

……

Red Reef Island.

Jiraiya walked around the headquarters with an anxious look on his face.

"Jiraiya-sama, why don't you sit down and rest for a while."

Shan Zhong Hai looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but persuade him.

Jiraiya stopped when he heard this and turned to look at Nara Shikaku where the old god was: "Shikaku, are you really sure they will be fooled? That's more than half of the ships in our hands!"

"Jiraiya-sama, please rest assured."

Shikaku opened his eyes and said confidently: "In a naval battle between the two sides, our biggest weakness is the ship under our feet. Once the ship is destroyed, we will definitely be in a dilemma. Therefore, if the commander of the Kingdom of Water is not stupid, they will definitely They will be the first to attack our ships. Then we can just use this as bait...to eliminate their vanguard troops, which can also be regarded as a memorial to those Konoha comrades who died in vain."

At the end of the sentence, his tone suddenly became a little cold, obviously thinking of the Nara clan who was almost strangled to death in Deer Park.

"Even so, there's no need to make such a big bet, right?"

Jiraiya was still a little puzzled, "We paid the price of most of the ships. Even if we annihilated Kirigakure's vanguard, we could only stop temporarily. This is not in line with our original intention of a quick victory." !”

"No," Nara Shikaku shook his head, "They think ships are our limit, but that's not the case. We in Konoha have as many sea ships as we want, and we can send new ones every day as a supplement! But The number of elite ninjas in Kirigakure Village is limited. It’s worth trading a few ships for their lives! You’ll understand when my shadow clone comes back and you see the results.”

……

The waters near Oha Island.

The ninjas of the Ghost Lantern clan who came all the way on jet shells had given up their flamboyant surfing postures. They left their mounts one after another and turned into streams of water and dived into the deep sea.

Fifteen huge ships floated neatly on the water, moving slowly along with the wind and waves.

Through the sea water, one could vaguely see patrolling Konoha ninjas walking around beside the side of the ship and on the deck.

"found it!"

Ghost Deng Qianyue ordered in a low voice: "A group of two or three people are responsible for a sea ship. Scuttle it for me as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

More than 30 ghost lamp ninjas responded in unison, and then, like white stripes in the waves, they emerged from the deep sea and swam towards their respective goals.

At this time, some people on the fifteen ships that they regarded as prey were discussing their affairs.

"I repeat, after encountering Kirigakure ninjas, we must fight and retreat and lead them all to our ship. It would be best if we could bring them into the cabin. All the detonating symbols have been connected in series through leads, and their power is It’s enough to destroy everything on the ship! Please be careful not to reveal too many flaws. Especially those shadow clones, they must not be injured!”

Nara Shikaku's shadow clone warned seriously.

Yes, Nara Shikaku deceived Jiraiya a little.

Not all the shadow clones left on these ships were shadow clones, there were also a considerable number of ninjas.

After all, if there is no real killing and sacrifice, and everyone here in Konoha explodes into clouds of smoke, then even a fool can know that something is wrong here.

Therefore, he deliberately left a small group of ninjas as real bait, using killing to stimulate the opponent's ferocity. When a person's ferocity is strong, he will often ignore some slightly inconsistent things around him.

"These are necessary sacrifices..."

Nara Shikaku convinced himself, "After all, the flying leaves can only light up the village after burning..."

……

call out!

call out!

call out!

Under the sea, ninjas who were born in the ghost lamp one after another shot towards the bottom of the Konoha ship above their heads like an arrow.

Soon, the two or three of them had already found their own goals.

Ghost Deng Qianyue raised her finger:

"Three, two, one!"

All the ghost ninjas who were already in position were hydrated at the same time, and turned their hydrated bodies into a ball of water that was spinning at high speed, and slammed into the bottom of the wooden boat in front of them!

[Water Escape·Spiral Sacrifice Water Cannon]!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The wooden bottom of the boat can withstand such a collision. After all, this is not a sea-going ship made of sacred branches.

Suddenly, one big hole after another appeared one after another, and the ships shook violently, and people on the decks and cabins turned upside down.

"what happened?"

Nara Shikaku's shadow clone felt the violent vibration under his feet, and his pupils suddenly tightened.

"Oops, their attack came from underwater!"

"Shikaku-sama, what should we do now?"

The other ninjas who stayed behind suddenly panicked and looked at him one after another.

"Don't panic!"

Shikaku shouted loudly and started thinking as fast as he could.

If there is an attack from underwater, then there is a high probability that the attack will be from the Ghost Lantern Clan.

It was a miscalculation. I really didn't expect that the most powerful Kirigakure clan would be the first to come, and they would do such a dangerous task.

However, if they can be hit hard this time, it will be enough to make Kirigakure Village heartbroken, right?

"Everyone, hurry to the bottom of the cabin. If you find an enemy, immediately detonate all the detonating symbols without any hesitation!" Nara Shikaku said decisively.
